KLAN CHIEF TURNS
TO WORLD AFFAIRS
Warns That Europe's Peace Is
Still Being Based
on Force.

Indication that the organization of
the Ku Klux KIan is preparing to de-
vote part of its attention to inter-
national affairs is given by Dr. H. w.
Evans, emperor and imperial wizard Of
the order, who today issued a lengthy
statement on the Kellogg anti-war
treaty. coupled with a warning that
Europe is still maintaining peace based
on force
In spite of the League of Nations
ana Its theoretical guarantee against
war;" said DR.. Evans; lin spite Of the
Locarno treaty, in spite of the disarma-
ment treaty and in spite of the Kellogg
pact the European nations are con-
unuing to pile up arms and to train
men,"
While declaring that Secretary KeI-
logg deserves the highest praise for the
work ne has done toward the establish
ment OF peace, the Ku Klux Khan
leader warns, however, that IF we are
70 give the Kellogg treaty its utmost
force and permit 1t to accomplish the
most good. we must make clear in our
acceptance OF 1t that we will not do the
Things Europe wants us to do" Presi-
dent Coolidge's warning to Europe along
this line and Kellogg's declaration that
the Monroe Doctrine Is not involved,
DR.. Evans said, are utteranceS not of
otnclal record and consequently have no
weight in international law.
Our Interpretation should be made
of1clal by the only body. which has the
legal power to make it, the Senate of
the United States" the wizard declared.

AUTO AGAIN HITS POLICEMAN
PURSUED BY NOVEMBER JINX
Basil MCCaIIister Is BeSet by
Eleventh. month Blurred
WindshieIdS.
Traffic Officer Escapes Sc
riouS Injury When CatapuIt-
ed by Girl Driver.

Policeman Basil McCallister, 80, of
the third precinct, Is firmly Of the
opinion that rainy November nights are
inimical to his physical well being, and
in expressing this belief today he made
1t clear that he did not have the pneu-
monia risk in mind.
Three years ago. while directing traf-
flv at Seventeenth street and Rhode
Island avenue, McCallister was struck
from the rear by motorist, who sub
sequently explained that he did not see
the officer because his windshield was
blurred with rain. The impact knocked
the policeman high, in the air and he
came down under the wheels of the
automobile.
Last night he was directing traffic
at Connecticut avenue and K street,
and rejecting bitterly on the evil lot
OF policemen who, perforce, must en-
dure the cold rain of late November
to keep Washington traffic in a SEM
blance Of order.
While in the midst of these gloomy
reflections an automobile driven by Miss
Marian A. Chester Of Rye, N. Y, whose
windshield was partly obscured by rain,
struck the officer squarely from behind.
Again McCallister rose several feet in
the air and came down underneath
the vehicle.
He escaped serious injury, however,
physicians at Emergency Hospital an
nonncing that he was suffering only
from a sprained right hand and shock.
Miss Chester. who is % years old de-
posted 500 collateral at the third
precinct station for her appearance in
Traffic Court.

PRESIDENT TAKES
CLAY PIGEON HUNT
He and First Lady viii Motor
Back to Capital Tomor-
row Afternoon.
BY J. RUSSELL YOUNG.
Stan Correspondent OF The Star.

SWANNANOA CLUB, Blue Ridge
Mountains, Va, December lit is
quite evident that President Coolidge
wants to make sure of his aim and
more thoroughly familiarize himself
with the two shotguns he brought
with him on his Thanksgiving vacation
in these mountains before going gum
ming for something actually alive.
Instead of going after quail or rab-
bits this morning, as had been partially
planned and was expected by the men,
bers of his party, Mr.. Coolidge went to
the traps, to the rear of the Swannanoa
clubhouse, and fired away at the clay
pigeons for nearly an hour. He indi-
Gated, however that he might do some
real shooting later in the day. He has
tentatively accepted an invitation to ac-
company A. r. Moorehead and Richard
Clemmer, who live only few miles
from the clubhouse, on quail hunt.
Vacation Enjoyable.
The President and Mrs. Coolidge are
thoroughly enjoying themselves. Among
the few callers yesterday was Repre-
sentative Harry st. George Tucker, in
whose district the Swannanoa Club Is
situated. True to the traditions of his
State, Mr.. Tucker brought a gift with
him-a generous quantity of native pork
sausage. This form of Virginia hospi-
tality has been displayed by virtually
every one with whom the President
and Mrs. Coolidge have come In contact
during their visit.
The President indulged in a stroll
over the mountain trails for about half
an hour before breakfast this morning.
Mrs. Coolidge confined her morning
constitutional to the garden and grounds
about the clubhouse.
The President and Mrs. Coolidge have
been keeping in touch with Washing
ton in order to be informed as to the
condition of Mrs. Frank w. Stearns,
who is Ill at the White House. Reports
this morning were very comforting.
Desk Is Clear.
Mr.. Coolidge's desk back at the White
House was virtually clean, so far as
pressing business was concerned, when
he left last Wednesday, and he came on
this little vacation with the intention
of doing no work unless some emer-
gency should arise. He has lived up to
this promise to himself fairly well. He
has, however, dictated few letters, and
has signed several papers forwarded to
him from the Office back in Washing
ton.
He has put aside some of the business
referred to him until he returns to his
desk Monday morning.
The President and Mrs. Coolidge have
planned to go to some church In the
neigflborhood tomorrow morning and
then 60 for q motor ride. They will
start back for Washington in the after
noon.
