"The Washington conference did a great deal to restore harmony and good will among: the nations," the president, said, "another purpose of a conierence tne lurtber limita tion of competitive armaments. much remains to be achieved In that direction. "It would appear to be Impractic al to attempt action under present conditions, out with a certain and definite settlement of German re parations firmly established I should favor the calling of a similar conference to achieve such limita tions of armaments and - initiate plans for a codification of Interna tional law, should preliminary In quiries disclose that such a propos al would meet with a sympathetic response." Tbd United States, the president said, stands In position to take the lead in such an additional move to ward world peace because America holds the respect of other nations and "our position is such that we are trusted and our" business Insti tutions and government eonsidered to be worthy of confidence." Mr. Coolldge hailed the work of the Dawea commission as unsur passed in Importance by anything that had transpired since the arm istice and declared there "appeared to be every reason to hope that the report offers a basis for a practical solution of the reparation problem." "I trust that It may commend it self to all the European govern ments interested as a method by which, through mutual concessions, they can arrive at a stable adjust ment of the intricate and Vexatous problem of reparations and that such an outcome will provide for the restoration of Germany and the largest possible payments to other countries." he added. Pointing out that the plan pro posed by General Dawes and bis as sociates contemplates an immediate loan to Germany for pressing needs and for financing of a bank, he ex pressed the hope that private Amer ican capital would be willing to par ticipate In the making of such a loan. "Sound business reasons exist why we should participate in the fi nancing of worksi of peace in Europe, though we have repeatedly asserted that we were not la favor of advancing funds for any military purpose," be continued, "It would benefit our trade and commerce and we especially hope that It will pro vide a larger market for our agri cultural production. Besides this, there is the humanitarian require ment which carries such a strong appeal, and the knowledge that out of our abundance it is our duty to help where help will be used for meeting just requirements and tbe promotion of a peaceful purpose," The president devoted his ad dress, delivered to the leading news paper publishers and editors of the country, to the country's forelxn re lations in the main although he re minded those who heard him that "our first duty Is to ourselves," and that "American standards must be maintained, American Institu tions must be preserved." Tbe whole address was based on the general theme of service the service that the American govern ment might render to the people and the service the American nation might give to the world, lie drew the theme from the work of Tbe As sociated Press. "The work of The Associated Press, both necessary and logical." he aald, "Indicates tbat the true! method would appear to lie In rec cognlzing tbe broad principle of our individual and national dependence, calculating the requirements which flew from that condition and gov-j ernlng ourselves accordingly. Com plete independence means coordina tion and e'ooperatloa. From this principle arises the oft repeated law of service we can help our selves only as we help others. "One of the pre-eminent require ments of our country at the present time is to re-establish and empha size In tbe public mind tbe law of service. The dancer to merica is not In the direction of the failure to maintain Ha economic position but in the direction of the failure to maintain Its Ideals." The president. In alluding to this danger, mentioned the world war caused many of the old standards to be suspended or cast aside and (Continued ea rase Eight- TRIAL OF BONUS (Associated Prose Leased Wire.)

He said he would support tbe bill under pro test. Senator Bursum, republican. New Mexico said that while he had con sidered perhaps better, he was anx ious to support the pending meas ure In the light of endorsement or It by American Legion posts of his state. It was suggested by Senator Sim mons, democrat. North Carolina, that the legion's support was due to a belief that the Insurance bill was tbe best tbat could be enacted now, and tbat an effort for cash would be better advanced later.

Under the common law. 4 Thaw told those around the press table, a juror (night be withdrawn. He talked loudly and rapidly and attracted the attention of persons walking out of the court room. "Now wait a minute; wait a minute," Thaw cried. "My mother wants to talk to you too: don't go away." Thaw's mother, however, sat calmly and gave no Indication of planning to join in the talk. She looked puzzled by her son's sudden activity. John M. Patterson, counsel for Thaw who had not at first noticed him, came to where e Thaw was addressing those 4 around him. Mr. Patterson protested against "unreason- able questioning" and called 4 out angrily "iet Mr. Thaw alonel He is entitled to tbe same privacy as any . other American citizen." When told Thaw had volun- teered some information. Mr. Patterson appeared non-plus- sed. Bailiffs cleared the court room and Thaw was still gesticulating when the lost spectators, including the jur- ors left the place. '.
