should be done to relieve the world
"of mucb of the burden of military
armaments and diminish the prob-
auiiiiy oi military operations.
"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

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

but in the direction of the failure

ance bonus bill declared late today
a carefull poll showed the cash op
tion amendment would be defeated.
Plana to bring about a vote on
the bill late today were blocked by
lengthy debate Including an attack
on any bonus measure and final ac

(Associated Preas Leased Wire.)
WASHINGTON, April 22. Fac
ing a contest on a proposal for a
cash option in the insurance bonus
bin as a result of an insurgent
movement In democratic ranks, the
senate prepared today to go Into a
night session to hasten action on
iho measure.
Senator Sheppnrd, democrat, Tex
as, opening the debate today, as
sailed the insurance measure as "a
shadow bonus" and declared it con
stituted "another chapter to tbe per
fidious drama enacted by tbe repub
lican party on this subject." 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.
Senator Copeland read a telegram
from a soldier organization in Ar
kansas supporting his cash plan.

PHILADELPHIA, April 22.
The question; of the sanity
of Harry K. Thaw was given to
tbe jury to determine at 3:20
p. m. today.
'
PHILADELPHIA. April 22.
Just as the Harry K. Thaw
aanlty trial recessed for lunch-
eon today. Thaw rushed to the
press table and burst luto an
4 excited speech Jin denunciation
of William A.) Gray, counsel
for Evelyn Kasblt who had
been addressing1 the jury In op-
position to Thaw's release.
When he calmed down, Thaw
said he had not teen excited
because of Mr. Gray's speech
but was nervous because of the
danger of losing ' the jury if
certain records were lntroduc-
ed.
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. '. '

City Treasurer Thomas will be re
quired to turn back 85.000 of City of
Reedsport bonds which were purchas
ed with money In sinking fund num
oor one. It was found upon investiga
tion that the treasurer is prevented
by the charter from Investing citv
funds in any bonds other than city of
Roseburg bonds, and consequently
tbe purchase which he made will not
stand.
The city has a large sum which has '
accumulated In tbe sinking fund. This
money on time deposit was only get
ting four per cent Interest and the
council authorized the treasurer to In
vest tbe money in six per cent city
Improvement bonds. The city attorney
ruled that the treasurer would have
to bid for the bonds the same as oth
er bond buyers which was nut pos
sible so on the advice of one or more
"f the councllmen the treasurer, not
knowing the charter provision, pur
chased 15.000 worth of city or Itedt
port bonds from D. R. Sliambrook and
M. V Rice.
Considerable protest was ma?
against this transaction, some persons
claiming that Keedaport bonds were
not as good security as Roseburg
bonds, which are bringing a hlch
premium, and also raising the point
that the charter does not grant the
treasurer authority to buy bonds of
other cities.
The matter was brought before the
council last night, and upon obtaining
an opinion from the city attornev
that the charter does not permit the
purchsse of outside bonds, the tress
iinr was instructed to turn tbe bonds
back.
As two of the locsl banks last
night bourht lIC 419 65 worth of cltv
Improvement bonds. It Is probable
