Wilson Proposed No
Formal Treaty, Say
DIPLOMATS in Capital

official comment was refused at
the State Department today on the
published charge Of the former Ger.
man Emperor that the British gov.
eminent prevented the concluding
Of an alliance prior to the World
War between the United States,
Great Britain and Germany.
1t was recalled that Colonel E.
NJ. House, as personal representa-
tive of President Wilson, was In
Europe early in 1914 in conference
with governmental heads, but any
negotiations which he undertook
are understood to have been under
direct instructions from Wilson
rather than from the State Depart
neIlt
The late William Jennings Bryan
was Secretary Of State at that
time and strained relations were
BEGINNING to develop between rlle
State Department and the White
House with the result that the
department was not always IN
formed Of all the efforts Mr.. VIII
son was making IN the field of
international politics.
Impressions Held Here
The impression among diploma eic
officials here is that President
Wilson did not intend to entsr
info 8 formal alliance with Ger.
many and Great Britain, but prob
ably was interested in helping those
governments to come to an under
standing along the lines first SIG
gested during the reign Of Edward
VII by Baron Eckhardtstein when
he was counsellor of the German
embassy in London.
The plan of the German govern
mert then was for a treaty with
Great Britain to remove causes goT
friction among the colonies ard
possessions in Africa and the Far
E9sr and to stop naval construction
for a limited pArtCd.
Baked BY Politics.
This project was never realized
although it continued to be a sub
iect Of discussion among the diplo-
mats Of Europe and America almost
up to the outbreak Of , the worl1
war, and was discussed by the ex
Kaiser In the memoirs which he
published after his flight from Ger.
many.
The feeling here. has been thai
an agreement failed of accomplish
rnent between Germany and Great
Britain. not because Of the particu,
lar responsibility of either, but be
cause political conditions in Europe
made it impossible.
The result was that both Great
Britain and Germany sought ALI
ances in other directions.

GOVERNOR MORAY BECOMES FATHER COMPRESSOR" TO PRSONE
State Gives Up Plan
To Sue School Chief
For Teachers Pay
py Tnternational News Service

MONTGOMERY, Ala, Sept.
10.-The State of Alabama dis
missed all proceedings against
Jesse Wheeler, superintendent
of education in Jackson county,
today, when Wheeler appeared
before Judge Charles Mccall,
chief examiner Of public ac-
counts, and showed cause why
he should not refund to the
State the $500 he paid out in
salary to Miss Sallie Caldwell
when she taught in the schools
of Jackson county and failed to
read the Bible daily before her
classes, in compliance with the
Alabama law.
Wheeler technically violated
the law in approving Miss Cald-
wells warrant for salary when
she failed to conduct these daily
Bible readings declared Ex-
an1iner Mccall, "but he proved
that he was not guilty of moral
violation of the law"
The, State had planned to sue
Superintendent Wheeler for the
$500, but the sensational case
was brought to an abrupt close
by Wheeler's appearance in the
State capital.

Aviation Chiefs in
Army Unofficially
Answer Mitchell

Charges of Colonel William
Mitchell, deposed assistant chief Of
the army air service, that the lives
OF military aviators are imperiisd
by ignorance Of commanding off
GERS who know nothing OF aviation
problems, were denied unofficia.ly
today by aviation chiefs at the War
Department
No official denial will be made,
1t was pointed out, unless airing of
the Mitchell charges is ordered by
President Coolidge or by the army
court-martial by which he viii be
tried.
It was stated that every flying
unit in the army aviation service
is commanded by an actual flying
officer, trained in the problems of
military aviation.
The flying record of Major Cen
eral Mason NJ. Patrick, chief Of the
army air service, whose appoint
n1ent to that post will expire Octo-
Der 4, was pointed out as an indi-
cation Of the ability of aviation
commanders to understand the prob
lens Of their arm of the service.
While General Patrick had no

Not only can General Patrick fly

spent many hours in the air In
the spring of 1922 he made a flying
trip of inspection to aviation fields
in the fourth corps area, putting
in twenty hours of actual flying
time in going from field to field.
Immediately upon completion of this
