MONTEVIDEO, Uruguay, December
Representative of a group of Amer
ican republics, which did not include
the United States, designated the Co.
lombian delegation today to inform the
Cuban delegation that attacks on the
United States in the Pan-American
Conference were not permissible.
The action was taken to forestall de-
rogatory remarks against the United
States in the Cuban response to be made
later in the day to the SalutationS OF
DR.. Alberto Name, foreign minister OF
Uruguay.
Dr. Names remarks were to be a more
or less routine welcome to the repre-
sentatives of the 81 American nations,
and Cuba was chosen to respond to this
salutation because Of the custom that
the last host to the conference make
the reply. The last conference, that OF
1923, was held in Havana.
Cuba Prepares Response.
The Cuban delegation prepared its re-
sponse and submitted it In writing to
the conference secretariat. The action
by the group desirous of preserving the
amenities of the occasion followed.
Ine VNpanS were lnl0rHe1 tndt az
tacks on the United States on this oc-
casion were not permissible, the
grounds of taste, regardless of other
factors, and The Colombians informed
the Cubans that another nation would
be chosen to respond to Names greet
ing unless references to which the sec
retariat objected were tempered.
The Cubans have been projecting an
anti-intervention resolution, without
thus far, however, assurance Of Suffi-
cient majority of the delegates to favor
its consideration by the conference.
The secretariat later decided Cuba
would be allowed to make the response
to DR.. Name.
This action indicated the Cubans had
agreed to couch the address in terms
which would not be Objectionable to
the conference or to the United States.

Dr. Jose M Puig Casauranc, foreign
minister of Mexico, revealed his ma

MTDSHIPM4N CONFINED TO BRIG
FOR ARDENT KISSING in PUBLIC

One of the eight midshipmen now
in the brig at Annapolis as result of
too much exuberance at the Army-Navy
game is still wondering whether the
kiss which he bestowed on a girl in
Philadelphia Saturday week ago was
worth the price.
The price-and the midshipman is
still paying it-consists of 40 dement's
and a weeks tour of duty aboard the
prison ship Reina Mercedes for "un-
ethical conduct in the unseemly manner
in which he kissed"
The embrace occurred as the middies
were boarding their special train at the
Broad street station to return to An
napolis. Naval authorities felt 1t was
too long, too public and too ardent to
be in strict keeping with good taste.
Meanwhile two of the midshipmens

PRINCESS ANNE, Md, December 4.
The body of 20-year-old white girl,
Miss Edna Morris. who had been miss
ing since last Friday, was found by
two colored men in a wood 5 miles
from Princess Anne today.
Despite the statement of DR.. Harry
Langford. who conducted an autopsy.
that there was no evidence the girl
had been murdered, Sheriff Luther
Daugherty expressed the belief that
She was lying. face down in a pool
of blood when found. and apparently
had been dead for some time.
Dr. Langford said the girl had not
been attacked and there were no
bruises or wounds of any kind on her
body.
After the autopsy, parts of the girls
stomach were sent away for chemi-
cal analysis to determine if she had
been poisoned. Her relatives said they
knew of no reason why she should
commit suicide
The colored men who found the body
lived in house approximately 100
yards from the place where it was
found. They were brought to Princess
Anne Immediately and one was released.
What was done with the other could
not Immediately be learned
The place where the girls body was
found is on what is known as the
Revels Neck road.
Her father. Edward Morris. farmer,
said she did not return to the home
Friday night but the family was not
unduly worried, believing she might
have gone to visit relatives.
The disappearance, however. was re-
ported to Princess Anne, but no search
was made.
Princess Anne was the scene of a
lynching on October 49, A Negro,
George ArmW0Od, accused OF attacking
a white farm woman, was taken from

to Salisbury, in an adjoining county, to

FOR CHEST DRIVE

Slogan in Effort to Spur

Gen John ]. Pershing today gave

stirring new slogan to spur them

Addressing the campaigners at a
luncheon in the Willard Hotel, Gen.
Pershing spoke of the solicitors as

citing some Of his war experiences to
illustrate the point, he called upon
them to keep in the thick of the battle
until victory is achieved.

Pershing said he was grateful for the
opportunity to participate in the cur

campaign calls for greater courage than
any of the others.
Tabulation of returns today showed
that S34, 1874 has been subscribed since
last Wednesday. bringing the grand
total to S1.429,571. This leaves a deficit
of s415, SOS to be wiped out by the end
of the extended campaign next Thurs

"that the necessity for achieving the
campaign goal is greater this year than
ever before. We must not fail.
IT am sure all of us are carrying in
our minds a picture of some of the
destitute individuals-old and young
who will suffer misery unless the full
sum Is contributed.
ITO my mind there is no such word
as fail. I hope all of you will blot out
that word from your minds and your
vocabulary"
Gen. Pershing told of an incident
during the Russo-Japanese War, when
the Japanese Army was facing criti-
cal situation. An aide advised the
Japanese commander that his army had
been repulsed. The generals only reply
was Attack again" Three Or four

The court upheld action of the Sew

Factor fought extradition on the
ground that the offenSe charged against
