PARIS, June 16.-At the request of
Polish Foreign Minister Zalewski, who
has had a long conversation with Sir
Austen Chamberlain, the foreign min
listers of the powers. now meeting at
Geneva, have decided to abandon the
idea of a general conference to discuss
common measures against the Third
1nternationale.
M. Zalewski pointed out that in view
of the extreme nervousness of the
Soviet rulers and the tension between
Poland and Russia, the less that is
said and done publicly to excite the
Soviets, the safer Poland will feel
After considering Poland's exposed po-
sition, the foreign ministers could not
but accede to this viewpoint.
The writer is informed that Foreign
Minister Stresemann of Germany mas
been asked TO notify NJ. Tchlcherln,
the Russian foreign minister. inform
ally, that the powers reserve the rlght
to take whatever measures they please
against the activities of the Third IN
rationale, without thereby intend
ing in any sense to provoke the Soviet
government.
1t is believed that the assembled
foreign ministers, at Great Brltaln's
instigation, have agreed to an eX-
change of information regarding COM
munist plots abroad and will nego.
tiate defensive action.

TROUT LURE GETS
PRESIDENT EARLY
Executive Causes Surprise by
Sudden Start for SquaW
Creek.
BY j. RUSSELL YOUNG.


RAPID CITY. S. Oak, June 16.-
President Coolidge, who is now COM
fortably established in the State game
lodge at Custer Park, in the Black
Hills section. started off his vacation
today in true sportsmanlike STYLE
Before o'clock he was on his way
to Squaw Greek, a picturesque noun
tain stream, whose winding trail
around these hills carries it close to
down with rods and reels and every
thing else a trout fisherman needs, as
well as heart full of hope.
1t was expected that the President
would resume his trout fishing, which
he put aside with much regret when
he left the Adirondack Mountains last
Fall, soon after getting settled at the
lodge, but he caused considerable of Il
surprise when he announced imme-
diately after finishing his first meal in
his mountain home that he was going
after some trout.
Talks With Expert.
While the President is known 20
have been talking and thinking a lot
about The joys that would be his
again casting for trout, it is believed
this early indulgence in the sport was
inspired during a walk he took be.
fore breakfast with Cecil Gideon, VINO
was State game warden for a num-
ber of years, and who is reputed to
know the Black Hills country better
than any one else.
Reach Edge of Creek.
Their stroll took them to the edge
Of Squaw Creek, and it is belleVed
that the way in which Mr.. Gideon
described the wonders of fishing in
this creek and the Presidents own
imagina ton as he looked down on
that little stream rushing noisily over
the rocks were responsible for so
quick a decision.
When Mrs. Coolidge was told of his
intentions she said that would be fine,
but reminded him that the ice box at
the lodge was filled with fresh trout,
caught yesterday, and which were pre-
sented by some of the natives OF this
section. She added that some Of these
would be served at dinner, to which
the President is said to have replied.
They taste better when you catch
them yourself"
as did every one else in the Presi-
dents party, that there is no doubt
about the President being genuinely
fond of the sport and that she was
happy to know that he could enjoy
himself in such manner.
Looks After Unpacking.
While the President was absent Mrs.
Coolidge busted herself experimenting
the unpacking and arranging of the
interior of the large building which is
| to be their home. She found time,
| however, to take walk for two miles,
during which she enjoyed seeing the
mountain sheep and several goats
grazing on the hillsides. She frequent
ly stopped along the way to pick wild
! flowers. These she brought back to
| the house and arranged them in vases.
| The President and Mrs. Coolidge
arrived at the Lodge about dark last
| night, tired after their long journey
of 1900 miles, but happy because OF
the royal and friendly way in which
they were received throughout the

MEETING AT GENEVA.
Ministers Agree There-Russians Ap'
parently Are UncOncerned.

LONDON, June 16 @.-Fear of
arousing Russian nationallstlc feeling
to a dangerous point has caused aban-
slonment OF the plan for concerted
warming by the European powers
against further Communist propa-
ganda abroad and alleged terrorism by
the SoYiets at home. -
In reconsidering their original de-
cision, thes foreign ministers now In
Geneva for the League of Nations
Council are said to have concluded
that formal collective action of the
nature contemplated might create the
Impression in Moscow that a united
front was being formed against the
Soviet Union.
Poland is understood to have been
the guiding spirit in advising against
angerfng Russia by even an appear
ance of hostility, emphasizing that
such an attitude would serve to lnten-
sify the Russian national spirit IN the
same manner as it was aroused at
the close of the great war by military
interventions.
Will Sound Warning.
Nevertheless, according to the
Geneva information, there is every
likelihood that the German foreign min
lister. DIR. Gustave Stresemann, follow
ing uI, informal conversations on the
subject with NJ. Tchitcherin, Russian
commissar, will acquaint him with the
feeling that has been engendered
throughout Europe by the activities
of the Third international, and warn
him in a friendly way that these ac-
tivities are initiating against Russia.
The German newspapers, while de-
claring it is the Moscow governments
duty to repudiate the activities of the
Third International. print warnings to
DIR. Stresemann that he is in imminent
danger of finding himself in the line.
up of anti-Soviet nations.
The proposed conference to consider
the Russian problem is welcomed by
the Socialist organ Vorwaerts on con
tition that Russia is invited. The
paper expresses the belief that il
would be an auspicious omen if Ger
many were permitted to assume the
role of mediator.
Ask War Preparations.
The Russian newspapers, according
to dispatches from Moscow. are laying
stress on the necessity of preparing

Charles Moore Refutes Legend
About Famous Gettysburg Address

There is neither record, evidence
nor well founded tradition that Mr..
Lincoln did any writing, or made any
notes, on the Journey"
Reproductions of the first draft on
Executive Mansion stationery. and of
\ revision written in his room in the
home OF David Wills of Gettysburg,
who suggested the establishment of
the cemetery in the presence of Nico-
lay, are presented in Mr.. Moore's book.
He also cites frequent notations of
applause in stenographic reports pub
lished in the newspapers of the day
as evidence that its merit was
promptly recognized. Mr.. Moore de-
clares that the ''phraseology of the
address, as well as the thoughts EN-.
bodied, are Mr.. Lincoln's own. He
drew his ideas and his convictions
directly from the life he lived"
