Coolidge Upholds It. By EDWARD W. PICKARD /"CONFIRMED pacifists and certain political opponents of the Repub lican administration. Including Gov ernor Bryan of Nebraska, Democratic vice presidential nominee, and the La Follette group, are making a political Issue of the national "defense day," September 12, planned by the War department They Insist that It is to be a "mobilization day," because some of the department statements Inad vertently called It so, and they de scribe It as a "militaristic gesture." President Coolidge did what he could to dispel this idea by sending a long letter to Secretary Llbby of the Na tional Counclf for the Prevention of War, in the course of which he said: "What Is proposed for September 12 Is merely a -compliance with the purposes of the national defense law of 1920. It is not a mobilization, and the people who first attached to it the term 'mobilization day* and then proceeded to condemn It have been ?utterly unfair. Most of them, I am sure, have been Innocent of intent to be unfair, but they have been misled. "Profoundly hoping that the out lawing of war from this world may be accomplished, I am yet unable to detect any inconsistency In giving my approval to the program of defense day. 1 wish crime might be abolished : but X wpuld not therefore abolish courts arid police protection. I wish war might be made Impossible, but I would not leave my country unpro tected meanwhile. "The defense test seems to me a means to assure the fullest efficiency to the extremely modest defense force Our country maintains.": Governor Bryan disagreed with the President's statements and announced that he did not favor any plan' "con templating mobilization of the civil or Industrial resources of the country or anything else that savors of a na tional holiday devoted to preparation for wars." He said, however, tliut he would Issue general orders to os^m ble National Guard troops of Nebras ka "for Inspection and practice In military activities." John W. Davis, Democratic nominee for the Presidency, announced that he agreed with the views expressed by the governor of Nebraska.' He added: "It Is one thing to keep the mili tary organization of the country In adequate practice; It Is quite another to encourage demonstrations that cnn be nothing else at a time when every energy should be bent In getting the world back to peace and to work, calming the prejudices and passions growing out of the World war and en couraging useful trade and commerce. In all these America should take the lead." Nearly all the state governors dis sented from Bryan's views and the plans of the War department are go ing ahead with apparently the general approval of the people of the country. Senator LaFollette's campaign speakers, it Is said, ore preparing to raise the cry of a choice between "mil itaristic Coolidge" and "peaceful La Follette" In sections where they think It will make a lot of votes for the In dependent candidate. IN'TKUKST In the LaFollette candi dacy does not die down, because there Is always the chance that It may throw the election of a President Into congress. His followers- are still hoping for the support of the great hulk of the union labor vote, and at the close of the week the executive coun cil of the American Federation of La bor met to decide whether or not he should receive the Indorsement of the federation. The decision Is not known at this writing, but President Samuel 1 Gompers Issued a statement In advance reiterating his opposition to partisan notion by the federation. He praised LaFollette for not falling Into the "snare" set by the communists of the Farmer-Labor convention, but added : "1 ?ar with complete assurance that at the present moment our minds are open and our conclusions will be ar rived at during our sessions as the re sult of our consideration of those facts. There Is but one thing that can be said definitely at this time. It Is that tfife American Federation of Labor will, In this campaign, abide by Its time tried policy of nonpartisan action. We shall consider men and platforms upon the basis of their service, past and promised to the wage earners and the great masses of the people of our country. We shall commit ourselves to no political party as partisans to a party." Leading members of the Woman's party, replying to a call by LaFollette managers asking the support of "pro gressive women's organization^ in every state," call attention to the fact that; the LaFollette convention did not Indorse the party's program for full equal rights for women, Its record In this respect pleasing them no better thfen those of the 'Republicans and the Democrats, who took no action on the measure. I ? Republican national chair man BUTLER has gone to Wash ington to help prepare for the cere mony of forpially notifying Mr. Cool tdge of his nomination. This event will be staged on August 14 in Continental Memorial hall and the national com mittee says it will be the blggestRe publican rally of the campatEffT*^Ttie hall will seat only l.tOO, but many thousands gathered outside will hear the proceedings through loud speakers. The notable guests will be numerous. Little less elaborate will be the notifi cation of Charles O. Dawes at his home in Evanston, 111., on August 10. John W. Datls will be Informed of his nomination by the Democrats at his Clarksburg residence on August 11, and It is certain that the Democrats, being ahead of their opponents lp date, will not be behind them In making the event notable for enthusiasm and oratory. Mr. Davis' speech of accept ance is completed and has been tried out in private. ACTIVITIES of the new grain mar keting merger which has taken over the assets of five big elevator sys tems of the Middle West fot? the bene fit of the farmer began l?st week. Th^ new venture, however, has been re fused the indorsement of the National Farmers Grain Dealers' association In which 5,000 grain elevators In the Mid dle West hold memberships. The as sociation, in session last week In Des Moines, Iowa, adopted this resolution: "We do not favor any terminal mar keting proposition of any sort unless all stock In it is held and owned by farmers' elevator companies and not by individuals ; nor do we favor the enter ing of any farmers' co-operative ele vator company Into any terminal mar keting venture until a sufficient num- ; ber of other such companies have, agreed to affiliate with the venture to Insure control by the co-operotlve ele vator companies ; or until sufficient capital has been subscribed by such companies to properly finunce the ven ture." Reports of damage to the Canadian j wheat crop, which resulted In a big | jump In prices, have been denied, con firmed and denied again, and good rains of last week up there curbed the enthusiasm of the bulls considerably. NO DEFINITE progress lias .vet been made In the nllled confer | ence In London, hut on Thursday one of Its committees began consideration of a new plan submitted by I'remlfe'r I Herrlot for providing security for the | proposed loan to Germany. It repre I sents considerable concessUijfr. by France hut certain features of' tPwere not pleasing to the English. Briefly. 1 Herrlot proposes that n German de | fault shall not be declared by the rep nratlons commission unless a com mittee of five experts and representn | tlve bondholders, one of whom shall be i an American, shall have given Its opinion. Then the commission vote must be unanimous, otherwise the ' questions are to be submitted to an ar I bltral board of three with an Ameri can as president and one representa tive each of the majority nnd minority opinions In the reparations commls ; slon. In both cases of delegation of the commission's power an American would have the deciding vote. What ' t be British do not like are provisions I for the guarantee to France of the de livery by Germany of definite quanti ties of reparations In kind. Though the matter of the military evacuation of the Ruhr Is not within the scope of the present conference. It has been discussed there, and so M. Herrlot has proposed that as soon as Germany accepts the experts' plan and fulfills the conditions, France will ge' out of the ^lagen district, and that the other occupied districts shall be evac uated according to the speed with which Germany fulfills her obligations. If the other allies agree to this plan, the process of evacuation would be complete In about two years. - THE allied military control commis sion under General Walch, who succeeded General NoUet, last week broke off all relations with the German war department It was asserted that General Von Seeckt, head of the Ger man army, had demanded that the commission give forty-eight hours' no tice before inspecting any German military organization or plant, and that the commission also post a notice at every place Inspected that this was the last Inspection of the German mili tary forces that would be undertaken by the entente. General Walch was ordered by the French government to refuse absolutely all such demands and to report In Paris. According to the commission, the German war depart ment Jias^by underhand methods, been able to traTif OTB cera and men Enough for an army vastly larger than that allowed by the Versailles treaty. SECRETARY OF STATE HUGHES, In Europe as president of the Amer ican Bar association, has been scoring great successes in London, Paris, Berlin and other cities. Unofficially he jm doubtedly Is doing a lot toward bring ing about agreement among the quar reling nations. The Germans look on his visit as a diplomatic step to make the London conference- successful. AFTER many days of severe fight ing, ' the Brazilian government forces drove the rebels out of Sao Paulo and occupied that Important city, i the center of the revolt. It was an nounced that the rebellion was thus practically suppressed. Immediately steps were .taken for the restoration of normal conditions In Sao Paulo. The civil authorities were' reinstated, com munication with Santos was restored* and the banks and large Industrial con cerns were aided In formulating a gen eral plan of reconstruction. Managers of American enterprises there have re turned to put their properties in shape again. Many warehouses and factories were destroyed by shell fire or burned. OUR Intrepid trio of army flyers la on the way across the Atlantic ocean, headed for home. Wednesday the aviators flew from Brough, Eng land, to Kirkwall in the Orkney islands, off the north coast of Scotland and immediately prepared their plans for the jump from there to Hornafjord, Iceland, a distance of 500 miles. They Intended to take the air ugnin Thurs day, sbut the start was delayed when adverse weather reports were received. From Danish sources there were re ports of very bad Ice floes and huge icebergs and tremendous ice barriers along the Greenland 'coast, which It was feared would make difficult and dangerous the landing of the aviators there. SOVIET Russia has almost given up hope of reaching an agreement with Great Britain, but Is still trying, having now sent Joffe, Its treaty expert, and Kamlneff, one of the Russian big four, to London. If they fail the Russian government, "it Is said, will Issue an i ultimatum to the British which Is like ly to result In war. Russia has ac- ' cumulated Immense stores of arms and amWOnltion. obtained from Germany J and England, and may first make an j attack on I'ersia In order to involve , Great Britain. According to their j I secret treaty with Germany they can i ! claim aid from Berlin any time up to ] | the middle of August. THERE is a threatening war cloud over the Balkans.
