President Coolidge's acceptance, Mr..
Warren criticized the Wilson admin
stration's policy in Mexico and declared
American property and rights would
be protected there under the new re-
Iations between the two nations.
President Coolidge praised Ambas-
sador Warren's part in restoring dip
lomatic relations with Mexico and de-
clared the envoy Represented at all
times the fundamental desire of our
country to see such conditions estab-
Iished that we could assist in the

Text OF Letter.
The letter of President Coolidge
to Mr.. Warren follows:
THE request which you make IN
your formal letter, that your reSig-
nation be accepted on this date, is
granted.
your mission to Mexico has been
attended with the most gratifying
success. You have re-established
the most cordial relations between
our own Government and the gov
ernment of that country, which had
been interrupted for a long period of
years. You have solved many of the
perplexing questions, and especially
have provided for the protection of
American life and American property,
and the settlement of disputed
claims 1 feel certain that you will
look back in the future upon this
work with the utmost satisfaction, as
an effort that has greatly contributed
to the welfare of our country.
81 am not unmindful of the ex-
tremely good influence that your
presence in Mexico had in promoting
the welfare of the Mexican people
themselves. You represented at all
times the fundamental desire of our
country to see such conditions estab-
lished that we could assist in the de-
velopment of their country and the
promotion of the welfare of their
people. Now that you have concluded
this work, 1 wish to express to you
the sincere appreciation of our gov
ernment, and my personal gratifica-
tion at the success you have met in
re-establishing a good understand
ing, and promoting cordial and
friendly relations, based on the sound
principles of International justice"

Smith to Plan Further.

HORNAFJORD. Iceland, August
b.-The American Army airplanes, on
their world flight, hoped off from
Hornafjord at 9:15 o'clock this morn
ing for Reykjavik on the west coast
of Iceland.
The United States cruiser Raleigh,
which has been on station here at
tending the flyers, proceeded TO
sea, with her destination probably
Reykjavik, where Lieut.. Lowell H.
Smith, the flight commander, will de-
eide upon further plans for the
aght
At 1925 o'clock, the flyers passed
Skaftaros, 20 miles west of Horna-
ford, flying in d strong gale.
In the getaway, the Chicago, with
Lieut.. Smith and Lieut.. Leslie P. Ar
mold, his mechanician, took the air
first. Lieut. Eric Nelson and Lieut.
John Harding, jr., in the New Orleans,
followed a moment later. They cir
cled the harbor for a moment, waved
farewells, and then headed along the
Iceland coast toward their destina-
tion.
encounter w GatHcTs
1t was the best day since the
Raleigh arrived, with the sun shining
brightly over the glaciers and no
trace of fog. From the North came a
stiff breeze, which it was felt might
somewhat impede the progress of the
planes, but the reports from the de-
stroyers stationed along the route
indicated excellent visibility with a
generally calm sea.
AS on the day the planes arrived,
the entire population of the little
village gathered today to wave fare
well to the flyers and the only hotel
in town was filled to overflowing
with farmers from up country who
came to wish the birdmen good luck.
Last night the aviators were enter
tanned q t the home of T. Danielsson,
a merchant who owns most of the
village. A number of Iceland beau
ties presented them with bouquets of
wild flowers as tokens of good luck.
Have Pleasant stay.
The stay of the aviators here has
been most pleasurable, and they have
found Iceland one of the most pic
turesqUe countries they have visited
in their long round-the- world grind
Just back of the little village of
Hornafjord a small volcano-one of
more than 100 active ones in the
country-is surmounted perpetually
by crown of wispy smoke, while
farther along the south coast and
just off the course to Reykjavik is
Mount Hekla, which erupted in the
seventies, causing great damage and
loss of life.
Along the coast line the noun
tains come almost to the edge of the
water, but there are great sweeps of
sandy plains leading to the big gIa-
ciers in the valleys
In the dying Summer it is a coast of
grim grandeur, with a perpetual mist
drifting above the high tablelands
inland. Except in the small culti-
waited areas, the only visible vegeta-
tion is short green grass, and in some
of the valleys a small species of
bushlike birch.
The coastline, however, is smooth,
and. with the destroyers Reid and
Bil1ingsley guarding the flight, and
with the cruiser Richmond awaiting
the aviators at Reykjavik, the pres
ent leg of the fight presents far less
difficulty than the one just completed.

LONDON. August 5.-The negotia-
tions between the representatives of
Great Britain and Soviet Russia have
broken down and the projected treaty
will not be signed, it was announced
this morning by the foreign office
The British and Russian delega-
tions were in session all night until
1:15 o'clock this morning the an
nouncement said. The Soviet repre-
sentatives were unable to accept the
amendment and concessions offered
in regard to Article XIV of the draft
treaty. No agreement could be
reached. it was stated, and the nego-
tiations broke down.
The Anglo-Russian treaty negotia-
tions collapsed, according to authori-
tative information, on the refusal of
the Soviet representatives to accept
an article in the agreement, which
they insisted left the way open for
England eventually to demand COM
pensation for foreign property ma
tionalized by the Soviet government.
In other words, the explanation runs.
it was fat clash between COM
munism and capitalism, although
there had been many evasive discus
sions of other features of Article XIV
which the Russians found objection
able.

WARREN FINDS
LIARS help HIM
Campaign of Lying To Make
Votes For Aydlctt, Rccast-
To Advance Warren

Only l. more days before
the Democratic Primary and
development from day to day
seem to justify the prevalent
opinion thruout the district that
Lindsey Warren oi Beaufort
will carry off Congressional
honorS on the first ballot.
Things just seem To- happen i'll

Warrcn'S "anhiducy met with
such popular enthusiasm from Inc

the first weeks of I'll" campaign.
,hut in recent weeks the hired work
rrS of ai least un" nf his opponents
have been driven to carrying nli II
whispering campaign Of lies against

Many uf these lies are r"actins
in his favor. For instance, tine
after tim" Ayollctt workers have re-.
ported Warren drunk. when there
was absolutely no foundation III
fact for any such reports. The re-
suit uf this cXtraUrdinary lie IL
that ministers AMI trmpCranc"
