Radio Communication Fails,
But Efforts Still Are 20
Be Continued

Efforts to establish radio COM
munication with Mars have proven
fruitless thus far, Professor David
Todd, who has been making ex.
perimentS here to that end, declared
today.
Professor Todd has not given up,
however, and said that he would
continue during the next twenty
four hours to. operate the automatic
radio recording instrument which
has been set up here to catch any
possible signals from Marian radio
stations.
To assist in the experiments,
Washington radio stations were
silent at intervals last night and
will continue to cooperate with
the scientists until Mars is believed
to be out of range OF receiving sets
in this country.
Failure in England.
LONDON, Aug. 2S-Efforts Of
British scientists to pick up COM
munications from Mars-if there
were any-proved unsuccessful, It
was officially stated today.
At Duclwich, Professor Norman
Edwards listened in" with a "a
valve receiving set. He picked up
long harsh dots at regular intervals
in groups Of four, five and three,
but he does not believe they were
signals from the neighbor planet.
The dots had wave length Of
10000 metres.
The Royal Observatory at Green
witch announced observations of
Mars, but nothing unusual was
noted.
British scientists gave the i'm.
preston that nothing new regarding

Any Scheme for Payment,
Other Than in Cash, Will
Be Refused
BY II. X. REYNOLDS,
international News Service.


The United States will oppose
even to the extent of refusing to
participate any International
conference which proposes to con-
slider simultaneously the question
Of limitation of armament and
i1ter-alIied war debts, it was
learned officially here today.
Attitude Made Clear.
This attitude upon the part Of the
Government was made clear as the
result Of reports both in this country
and abroad that efforts will be
made by European powers whose
debts to the United States run into
billions to insist upon discussion
Of these debts in the new armament
conference planned by the Admin
1etration.
Not only will the United States
refuse to discuss the debts in an
armament conference, but 1t will re-
fuse to discuss them in any kind
of conference in view Of the fixed
policy Of the Administration which
requires payment in cash and makes
no other provision for liquidation.
Officials said they were hopeful
that the desire of the debtor nations
to entangle the armament and debt
questions would come to a point
where it would be necessary for the
United States to make a point olank
refusal to the proposal, but it was
equally plain that the determination
Of the Administration to keep the
two questions separate and distinct
was so. firm that it could not be
changed except by an act Of Con-
gress.
Change Unlikely.
. 1t is held to be doubtful that
Congress would assent to any
change in policy, as the Govern
ment's fiscal plans for the next
twenty-five years, including the
liquidation of the $22, 900, 000, 900
public debt Of the United States are
predicated upon the payment by
France and other nations Of the
Sc, 00O. 100000 which they owe.
Administration officials feel that
any discussion of the European
debts in conference participated
IN by the United States would lead
directly to pleas for reduction or
cancellation or to suggestions for a
trading off" scheme. Neither re-
duction or cancellation could be con-
sidered, however. by the United
States, and officials pointed out
that any trading off" system would
get this country nowhere, because
It is the ultimate creditor Of all
the allies.
This Government takes the posi-
ton, too, that the 1925 200, 900 which
France will receive annually from
Germany under the Dawes plan
should be used to begin payments
of her $4,000 900, 900 debt to the
United States on the same terms
agreed upon by Great Britain; that
is, funding over a period of sixty.
two years. Instead of agreeing to
discuss the debts in a conference,
therefore, the United States will in.
wife France and the other debtor
nations to pay.

siderably exceeded the expectation
of the management. A clay pigeon
shoot, participated in by many of
the most expert shots of Maryland,
the District Of Columbia and other
places, a dog show, in which many
fine CANNES competed for the rib
bons and cash prizes offered, and
three harness races were other
interesting features of the closing
afternoon.

In Minnesota Congressman and Gov

Calvin Coolidge is "A man of the people. He was born and
brought up on a farm in sturdy old Vermont. He has always
been a hard worker and has keen sympathy for other workers.
That is why he has always been found on the right side in mat

elsewhere in this issue. He is c~onsiderate of the rights of
Others and conscientious and courageous in the discharge of
his duties. He never s%quandered his own money and he does
not believe in wasting the public money. His actions are al
ways governed by what he considers for the best interest of
the whole people and that is why he should be reelected in
November. Labor should vote for him to a man, if they want
to elect the one who has always been alive to their best inter

The Republican has refrained from commenting upon the
fight which the Cheyenne Tribune has been carrying on for
some time past against the Rocky Mountain Motorists, Inc.
in connection with the plan to mark highways in the Rocky
Mountain states uniformly, until definite information could
be secured.
After a thorough investigation The Republican is con
WINGED that the fight of the Cheyenne Tribune is not entirely
justified and that the Rocky Mountain Motorists, Inc, has
only the best interests OF the mountain states IN view.
The State Highway Commission was entirely justified in
entering into an agreement with this association whereby
when requsioned by the Commission signs will be furnished
for use in Wyoming. These signs will be similar to those
which have heretofore been erected in Wyoming by the Auto
mobile Club of Southern California and will carry the names
of various cities along the route with the mileage. The route
will be marked by a number but in addition to this number
the Highway Commission intends to attach to each sign an
official marker showing the name of the highway.
There is absolutely no danger of our highways losing Their
identity by the use OF these signs. In fact, these will make
travelling easier for the tourists and will make our highways
more popular with the travelling public.
The Cheyenne Tribune certainly had every right to be
suspicious Of anything coming out Of Colorado and was JUST
fed in making an investigation before sponsoring this propo
sition. However, in this case those behind the Rocky Mountain
Motorists, Inc, are certainly acting in good faith and are ap
parently looking at the mountain states as a unit and not al
Colorado as the whole thing.
