of Harding Death
By the Associated Press.

BY the Ass0c11ted Press.
MARION, Ohio, August Sim
plicity marked the first anniver-
sary of the death of the late Presi-
dent Warren Gamaliel Harding in
this. his home town.
Always avoiding ostentatious
ceremony while he lived, his
wishes were being followed after
death. No public ceremony had
been arranged other than the lay
ing of a wreath at his tomb in the
cemetery here. The wreath, sent
by President Coolidge, was to be
placed without pomp.
During the day hundreds wound
their way along the shadowy
paths of the cemetery, stood for a
few moments with bowed heads at
his tomb and passed on.
At Z pm. the hour of his death
at the Palace Hotel in San Fran
cisco one year ago. the old bell in
the central fire station was to
sound for the departed Executive.
At the first stroke friends and
neiehbors of the nations former
chief are to bare their heads in
reverent mien for 1--WE minutes.
DIR. G. T. Harding. the former
Presidents father, himself in fail
ing health, was no, to take part
in any ceremony. With a few
personal friends he may visit the
tomb.

LONDON. August "A complete
program for launching the Dawes
reparation settlement plan was agreed
upon by the interallied conference
during a half-hour plenary session at
the foreign Office this morning.
The allied premiers and American
Ambassador Kellogg took up the
technical point with which the ex-
perts had vainly struggled in two all
night sessions, and after modifica tions
which Premiers Macdonald and Her
riot accepted the compromise settle
ment was reached.
Invitation Goes To-day,
1t was announced later that the in
Vitation to the Germans would be
dispatched during the afternoon.
When the agreement was reache d
the wearied experts, including the
Americans, James A. Logan and Owen
ID. Young, and Mr.. Frazer of Great
Britain, who have slept little during
the last As hours, left the conference
room and the chief delegates began
framing the invitations for the Ger
man government to send n delegation

Prime Minister Macdonald will
hand the invitation to the German
embassy this afternoon. and Foreign
Minister Stresemann and his COL
leagues are expected to reach London
Monday night
Meanwhile the conference will take
a recess, with the exception of the
jurists' committees, which are draft
ing the results of the fortnight's
work so that the document can be
submitted to the Germans
The conference will enter its final
phase with the arrival of the Ger
mans, who will be asked 10 express
their opinions on the program for
putting the Dawes scheme into oper-
alton. After the Germans have been
heard a protocol embodying the pro.
gram will be signed by the allies and
the Germans. it is expected. and then
the reparation commission will make
its appointments and set up the or
ganization necessary for carrying out
the Dawes propaganda.
Hold Plennry Session.
The plenary session adopted the re-
port of the first committee of experts
dealing with defaults and penalties.
1t also adopted the report of the third
committee, pertaining to reparation
transfers.
The fate of the conference hung on
this latter committee through the
early hours of this morning. Unable
to reach an agreement, the experts
passed the problem along to the
plenary table. where the chief dele
gates worked out compromise.
The report of the second committee
of experts dealing with the fiscal and
economic unity of Germany had been
adopted at a previous plenary ses-
sion.

Mr.. Coolidge said yesterday he
expected to conclude work on his
speech soon, but he reminded a
group of newspaper men that
pushing to an early conclusion a
speech which was not to be de-
livered for some time probably
might be compared with rushing
a story which did not have to

MADISON. Wis, August Gov.
Blaine today recorded himself as
definitely opposed to National Defense
day, September IL, and characterized
the plan as designed to stimulate
national military movement, which
would be taken by foreign countries
as militaristic maneuver. The gov
ernor will not designate the day in
Wisconsin, it was said.
Mr.. Blaine's attitude was con-
tanned in a communication to Maj.

Government through propaganda and
demonstration, to stimulate a ma
tional military movement" the state
ment declared, holding that a patri-

better to hold a demonstration that
would lead the way for foreign na-
tions to universal peace"
The Wisconsin National Guard will
participate in the demonstration only
on the call of the President, issued
under the constitutional authority in
a national emergency, the statement
said.
The communication of Gen. Immell
to Gen. Hale, setting forth the gov
ernor's views, in full, said:
1T is the opinion of the governor
that at a time when all people of the
civilized nations of the world are
demanding a reduction in armaments,
both on land and on sea, it is mad
visable for the American Government
through propaganda and demonstra-
tion to stimulate national military
movement. While it is true that the
sole purpose of the demonstration Is
to acquaint American people with
new national defense plan, yet it
would be interpreted by foreign
powers as the American layman in
terprets like demonstrations held in
those lands.

America in the last great war, the
hopes, the ideals and the failure or
America to achieve it's purpose OF
universal peace. It would be we'll worth
while for America to hold demon
stration on September IL, 1924, that
would lead the way for foreign ma
tions to universal peace.
Need No Stimulant.
TT is the opinion of the governor
that a patriotic demonstration in Wis
consin is unnecessary. Wisconsin,
the State that sent $4,000 men to the
Civil War, 5,469 to the Spanish
American War, and 124,S14 men to the

The executive council of the Amer
lean Federation of Labor today is
| expected to receive the report of its
national presidential campaign COM
mittee and labor leaders here as
lookers-on at the annual session Of
the council are expected to indorse
the candidates of Senators La Fol-
lette and Wheeler
Forecasts that the council will in
dorse these candidates for the presi-
dency and vice presidency are coupled
with assurances that the American
Federation of Labor will not go so
far as to pledge its support to all
candidates who link their names with
those of La Toilette and Wheeler on
a party ticket.
Among labor chieftains here in
the role of spectators, it is Under
stood that the endorsements will be
of candidates and not as members of
a party. Thus, they point out, the
A. F. of L. can throw the support of
it's four million or more members
into the La Follette-wheeler cam
paign without abrogating the unwrit-
ten rule of the organization that it
shall remain on-partisan.-
The council decided to attack to-
day the problem of formulating an
official policy for the A. F. of l. dur
ing the 1924 national presidential
campaign. instead of delaying such
action until near the end of the
sessions as had been the program.
The report of the campaign COM
paign committee would have been
received yesterday had it not been

council and member of the commit
