Armed Force Will Be Applied Immediately— c reach Troop* Ready to Move—President Harding's Inaugural Address Indicate* His Attitude Toward Leagua

ot Nations.

By EDWARD W. PICKARD. "Koluasal." winch used to be the favorite adjective of the Germans, may well be applied lo their nerve rs displayed in the counter p:»poaais on reparation*. . uiltted to the *upreme council In London by Foreign Miulstvr Simon* and hi* coil, agues. The wer'd had expected from them something inadequate In the -ay of au offer, hi *, the insolence of the pro[>oaal was amazing, ever to unofficial Germany. Lloyd George and Brtard heerd It with Ul ronceuled derist-.n. and the formal statement of the aillas wa» that "it do.-s not merit either examination or

discussion.''

This was followed by an ultimatum In wb. h the German delegates were informed that If Germany did not accept the fundamental condition* laid down by the suprem.- council in Paris fbe allies would tuke 'mriledlate steps. Unit of these steps W.ll be the o«-cu|»-Uoo by allied troops of the clUe* of Duisburg. Dusseldorf and Bub'ort; s.-cond. each alll-d country will place on <H>nuao merchandise such a lax as It may d-em proper; third, a custom* boundary will be established along the Bblne under allied control. Germany, said Premier Lloyd George In his reply to the Gerr-^n proposal, would be permitted to suggest no modifications of Uie Paris Jeclsi. as except as to conditions of payment. Doctor Simon* answered that the German position hart been misunderstood. and that he would rep!) ou I Honda.) (•> the ultimatum. 1 Briefly stated, Mmoos propose*] that | Gennnuy pay th. allies *1* war r.-p»- ; -atlons about SO.tWU.UOM.OOO gold mark* - npproxlmately yT.lkHi.tWO.iAX)—.-'.ilch I 1* about one-aeventh of the sum doI mauded by tlie allies. Also, tbe offer j waa conditioned on two provisions, that Germany be accorded free cotnj uu-rclul privilege* throughout the i world, and that Upper Silesia, where a pleblwlte 8000 I* to be held. .-.11811 j remain German. j Especially impudent was the xuggraI tiou to capitalize Germany's r.-para-j lion payment* through an Ini.-nta-tional loan to be dlvld--d among allied countries and held free from taxation in all countries. This meant that *be German* want the cllles to furnish them the money to pay .heir debt* by ' allowing the T-rmans to offer *0 ati tractive an inves uient that It would I outshine o;her seen Hies and be made I still more attracrive through the »ur- ; render <>f tax revenues hy the allied

and Britain In the Esaen-Dusseldorf district. She had 15.000 troops on the Rhine and ha* sent two mor* divisions there. The French have 130.00U men in tbe occupation zone and 200.OtW In reserve close by. Among the interesting side-light* on the “poor mouth" presented by the tier-man* I* the information affordeo by a reliable American officer who has r.-cently made a thousand-mile motor car trip through the chief agricultural and Industrial districts of Germany. He says that Germany can |>ay the sums demanded- that he saw everywhere amazing evidence of productive labor and growing wealth. All American eyes were tunwd toward tVu.Jilngton 00 Friday when Warren G. Unnlug was Inaugurated President, and all American ears were open to bear what he had to say of the policies that shall control his ndmlnlstrat.oti. Tbe ceremonies were simple and dignified. In conformity with tbe wishes of Mr. Harding. Tbe new President. In hi* address, left no one In doubt aa to bis attitude toward the League 01 Nations aa now coostltuted. Much of what b< said waa devoted to tbe general subject of interna'lonal relations. Hr asserted thaf Amerle* had proved the wisdom of it* inherited policy of non-involvement in old jsorld affairs: that It can be a natty rb no permanent military alliance; that it can enter Into no political commitments nor assume any economic obligations “which will subject our decisions to any' other than our own authority." At the same time, he said. America U ready to associate itself with all other net'ons for conference and counsel; to seek ways to bring about approximate disarmament : to promote mediation, eonclltntl.m utf.i arbitration, .- nd to establish s world rourt for the disposition of Justiciable question submitted by agreement. To his fellow citizen* President Hsnllng made an eloquent plea for “the resumption of our onward, normal way." for sane reconstruction after the devastation of war. for pcadjustment with care and courage without r.ny wild experiment*. Said he; "tVe must face a condition of ,-rim reality, charge off our losses and aturt afresh." For hi* part, he promised administrative efficiency and economy, lightened tax burdens, adequate credit farilltle*. sympathetic concern for all agricultural problems, omission, of unnecessary interference of government in buslnesf. and an end to government's experiment in business. Among the Interesting things which Mr. Harding hope* tn bring about, according to unofficial annoumxrment. 1* the creation of a "ministry of defense" under a cabinet officer, to control the national defense* on land, on sea and In tbe air. This, of course, would mean the consolidation of the War and Navy departments. It i* snld the plan meet* the approval of both Secretary of War Weeks and Secretary the Navy I>enby. and that both of them have agreed to give way If the plan Is adopted. In tlie Inst hour* of Its life thr congress reached agreement on the army appropriation bill and it went through with provisions fixing the strercth of the artnf for the next year at 156,0iX». Tlie house had put the figure *t 150.000 and the senate I Wanted 175.000. so the result is a j compromise in which the upper j house yielded most. The bitterest i struggle was over Use naval appro j prtatlon MU In the senate, the cor I trorersy being ove- the $uy).Ofm.oi*i I added !•> It by the naval cammlttec ; This fight prevented the passage of n I nnirher of measures among them tbe ! *»ldierx‘ bonus bill, again*! which I Kcmitor Thotr-a- -A Colorado threat

said act would constitute e serious impropriety m the part of the judge " Jude !.-ndl*‘ reply to this was tn ref-T to I ts statement of last December. when he said: "They will never 1m(teach rte. If both houses of congress by ■ majority v.rte pass a rcso lutlou exp -csiUng disappointment nt my atterap: to benefit 10)000.000 per--ama w*”> iave a whole-hearted interest ». h'-seb*''. I will send my realgnatlon as a feugral Judge to Washington by telegram." John bkeiiuu Williams retired Wednesday a* comptroller of tlie currenry. snd In accepting his resignation I resldent Wilson look oicusioo to comment on tlie "gross Injustice" done Mr. Williams by the senate banking committee, which had prevented his confirmation. One o' Mr Williams' lest official acts wa* to charge the United States Steel corporation with exacting excessive and unjustified pri'va for Ha iron and steel produet*. The accusation was vigorously denied by E. U. Gary, chulrtran of the corporation. The house committee which Investigated tbe doings of the shipping board made a report recommending tbe transfer of the f actions of the board tn an executive department because what Is needed la more centralization of administrative authority than cxn be had with a large board. The committee found ihere had been waste. Inefficiency and lack of coordination In (be work of tlie board, but found no evidence “to prove that dishonest or fraudulent motives lusted any memb-r of the shipping board of truHecs of the Emergen'-y Fleet corporation.” Specifically, Charles M. Schwab and R. W. Bolling. brother-in-law of Mr. Wilson were exonerate.* from charges of Interested In general, the board was praised for “the most remarkable achievement In shipbuilding the world ha* ever seen."

A small side door In the temple of Janus ha* been thrown open In honot of Panama and Costa Rica, which small republics seem determined to go to war over Coto. a piece of ter ritory which contain* valuable oil deposits and which Is claimed by both. Indeed, hostilities already havt broken out. a “battle" has been fought and several soldier* have Leen killed. A small detachment of Coatn Ricans that bad occup'ed the disputed territory was attacked hy a Ponauun force and defeated. The excitement In both countries is Intense, and In the city of Panama a war-mad mob even attacked the presidential mansion because President Porras had der-lnr. ' himself lu favor of a diplomatic settlement of the quarre’. At latest reports Costa Bican force* were being rushed to the Coto district. It was believed some of them would be landed on the eastern shore o' Buries point to cu* off the Panamas* from their supplies. A* this shore e-T* given to Panama under the arti!-trail.-n ruling of (Jlilef Justice White In 1014. It was feared the United State* might be Involved, und. assumption that It lx obligated t tect the territorial Integrity of Pan.
