speaking not only for the London
government itself but also for the
Australian. New Zealand. Indian and

commonwealth.
Until all OF the governments have
been heard from officially. Secretary
Kellogg is not likely to take up for
final decision the question as to
when and where signatures of the
powers will be attached to this
peace pact. He Is known to have
looked with favor on the proposal
first made by Ambassador Claudel
some weeks ago that the ceremony
take place in Paris on an appro-
pirate date and that Mr.. Kellogg
himself go to the French capital to
sign for the United States.
1t is obvious from the trend Of
events that the American secretary
will be relied upon by the foreign
Offices of the other signatory powers
to name the time and the place for
the ceremony. The German, French,

Atlantic City Veteran Found
Dead in Dingy Flat; Had
Many Bonds

Atlantic City, N. j., Dec. 10.-R
Surrounded by wealth the body Of
James T. Cowden, 70, hermit and
a pioneer resident of this resort, has
been found in his dingy top floor
quarters in a rooming house.
Seven worn and musty wallets,
bullying with silver and gold coins,
were hidden in the room. Packets OF
stocks, bonds and mortgages had
been stuffed into old shoes. Under
the shabby carpet were bank books,
one Of which showed $4,000 bal
ance.
Gold pieces blackened with age
and valuable papers which crumbled
as police opened them for examine
ton had been tucked away in hiding
places and left long undisturbed.
Patrick Paunon, proprietor Of the
rooming house, discovered the body
when he searched for his ledger
whom he had not seen for several
days. He called the police. An
ambulance surgeon said death had
resulted from natural causes:
Cowden owned much real estate.
Some estimates were that he was
worth 100000. For 20 years he
had been a recluse.

THREAT TO BALKAN PEACE IS seen
in ANCIENT MACEDONIAN PROBLEM

Slavia. It was a Turkish princi-
patty.
There were other shuntings back
and forth between then and 1908,
but at that time. Bulgaria threw off
the Turkish yoke.
In 1912, Serbia, Bulgaria and
Greece defeated Turkey and what
was left of that country's posses
sions in the embroiled area-Mace-
donia, Thrace and Eastern Thrace-
were coded to the three allies.
The second Balkan war, year
later, found Greece and Serbia
aligned against Bulgaria, and the
treaty of Bucharest gave to the vic
torious first two countries most Of
that territory which had been known
as Macedonia. Now, Bulgaria has
only a small part Of Macedonia.
II Macedonia were to become an
independent state, something that
few can conceive, it would mean TAX
ing a good portion of territory away
from Jugo-Slavia and from Greece.
The inflammable effects Of the con-
troversy on Balkan peace are admit
tedly great.

CAL PROPOSES
SUMMER HOUSE
FOR PRESIDENT
Says Health Of President and
His Wife Should Be Safe
guarded

Washington. Dec. 1O.-(AP)-To
Herbert Hoover and other presidents
to come may 60 the benefit of
President Coolidge's suggestion that
the chief executive be provided with
q country White House.
Only. few months before his re-
tirement from office, the president
has declared that the health not only
of the president but Of the mistress
o. the White House could be bene-
fitted It there were such home pro-
vided.
Writing for t.. fiftieth anniver-
sary Of the st. Louis Post Dispatch,
President Coolidge said: "As q
president about to retire, / feel at
liberty to write of certain phases Of
that office which one who was en-
tering upon its duties might feel
some hesitation in discussing"
Pleads For Successor
He declared that he referred to
the health and physical condition of
the president, adding, mot so much
for my own sake as for my success
sor."
Il have often remarked that at
least | had one distinction" he con-
tinued. Il have been the healthiest
president that the country has ever
had"
President Coolidge said that he
had accomplished this by systematic
exercise and regular habits and then
after talking of the arduous duties
# president and the necessity for
conserving his strength, he made his
proposal for country White House.
Washington is practically at sea
level" he said. "Its climate is an
exceedingly good all the year around
climate, but at times the humidity
is high and unrelieved. It becomes
monotonous. The only avenue of
escape for the president is the naval
boat Mayflower.'
Has Little Freedom
President Coolidge explained the
chief executive had little freedom of
movement and he asserted that the
only place he could enter without
considerable preliminary disturbance
is the White House.
For these reasons" he said, at
seem to me that some place should
be provided in the hills within easy
striking distance of Washington
where the president might 60 for
two or three days at a time when
he was so disposed, with conven-
fences for entertaining members Of
the government and other guests,
where he could have that freedom of
action which he has only at the
White House, and where he could get
a complete change Of atmosphere.
while have made no mention OF
the mistress of the White House, she
is of course to be considered. The
public little understands the very ex-
acting duties that she must perform
and the restrictive life that she must
lead. Fully as much as the presi-
dent, she needs the opportunity for
a change and some place where she
can have the seclusion Of the White
House without a constant reminder
of its obligations"
