TTTE MORNING OttEGONIAN. SATURDAY. DECEMBER 10. 19! U. S. A!D OFFERED , TO AVERT NEW WAR Pacific Settlement of Rep ... arations Sought. (TROOP ISSUE IS MET I v, ' If Americans on Rhine Are At tacked, Nation Might Be Drawn Into New War. ET ARTHUR SEARS HENNING. $ (By Chicaco Tribune Leased Wire.) WASHINGTON, D. C, Dec. 15. J The United States is endeavoring to ? Taring about a pacific settlement of - ' the German reparations dispute which , has produced the present 5 threatening: situation in Europe. A discussion ol plans of procedure already i8 in progress between Washington, London and Paris and the outcome may be the re-entry of 'f the United States into European i, affairs for the purpose of exercising a stabilizing influence, avoiding the threatened clash between France and J Germany and saving Germany from economic collapse. Although American troops are to . Te retained on the Rhine a while k longer, th eHarding administration does not contemplate furnishing Armed forces to back up its present programme or committing itself to the employment of armed force in ; the future. President Harding be- lieves that the influence of the ' f United States, the greatest creditor nation in the world, will be suffi- f ciently potent to accomplish the purposes in view. " Reparations Cut Expected. If the plans under consideration which were discussed at the cabinet meeting today work out success- - fully, it is expected that the amount i of reparations Germany is obliged ; to pay the allies will be materially reduced and that a huge loan to i Germany will be made by American, British and French financiers to - stabilize the German republic finan , .. cjally and enable it to make im- r;' aieJiate payments. t The delicate tension of affairs in Europe is recognized, particularly I- "with Clemenceau and other foreign j statesmen predicting another Euro ; pean war and France threatening to 1" occupy the Ruhr district of Ger .? many. The president and the cab- lnet have discussed with concern the dangers inherent in the pres- ence of American troops on the J Rhine and the policy being pur- sued has been adopted with full recognition of those dangers. Conflict la Held Poaaihle. If war should break out again in I Europe and the. American troops on the Rhine should be attacked the United States would be com- pelled to reinforce them of swallow the affront and in that manner , j would be likely to te drawn into the conflict. According to one view the United f States soldiers in Europe are vir - tually hostages in the hands of the j allies to insure American partici- pation in any further outbreak of war. j On the other hand, it is pointed out ? that if the American troops are hoa C tages in the hands of France and England if is a situation that is en- tirely acceptable to Germany for the Berlin government specifically re- - quested Washington to retain the armed forces of the United States on ' the Rhine. France and England also t expressed their desire that the American contingent should be kept In Europe. Present Force About 1200. " Notwithstanding these representa J tlons, President Harding decreed r- that the American soldiers should be T brought home and the movement be j gan not long after the peace treaty between the United States and Ger- many was ratified. At that time there were about 16.000 American soldiers in the occupied district of Germany. The withdrawal contin ued until the present force of 1200 4 officers and men under command of J General Allen remained. At that juncture the withdrawal was halted for anumber of reasons " '' pertaining to the relations of .the United States with the allies and the treneral situation in Europe. The president came to the conclusion 3 that the complete withdrawal of the American force and the disappear- ance of the American flag from the Rhine would have an unfortunate effect upon the consummation of certain plans to which the assent of France and England is necessary. Another Reason Arista. . Soon after, another reason for de- lay in withdrawing the troops was furnished the president. The row over reparations broke out afresh and grew until it reached the pres 5 ent proportions. Mr. Harding re garded the situation so delicate that 5 any move by the United States to " get out of Europe completely might upset the efforts being made to settle the reparations dispute amicably. That is the status of the situa tion today. The danger of the pres ; ence of American troops in the I heart of inflamed Europe is recog- nized, but the president is disposed , to sit tight and bend every effort X to effect a peaceful adjustment of the reparations controversy, after whic hthe American soldiers will be i brought home. Just how far the administration will be ahle to go in the direction . " jiff Every room is an outside roomand solidly comfort able.

Ambassador Har vey has been summoned from Lon don to Washington to bring his knowledge and wisdom to bear on the problem. It is hoped, however, that a plan can be perfected before the allied premiers are due to meet in Paris January 2 to resume dis cussion of the reparations issue. MovemrnO Are Apparent. It is apparent that the allies have teen maneuvering for some lime to bring the United States into the negotiations on a basis of cancella tion of all war debts as an offset to the reduction of Germany's reparational obligations. The ad ministration, however, is keeping lcear of any entanglement ' of this sort. In the first place President Harding and bis advisers regard the war debts and reparations distinct questions each' of which must be dealt with independently on its own merits. In the second place con gress has pronounced against can cellation of the debt to the United States and has provided for its re funding, as a consequence of which the president has no authority to enter into an ynegotiations involv ing cancellation. The indications are that the ad ministration would not be disposed to go farther than participation in any European conference designed to stabilize European affairs by re ducing the German reparations and providing for the financing of Ger ruany by an international loan. Bonkers "Willing to Lend. J. P. oMrgan and his associat ed international bankers here and abroad are ready to undertake a loan of Jl,500,000,0O0 or more to Ger ma"ny provided the security and other conditions are satisfactory. When these bankers studied this question the first time, they came to the conclusion that a loan would be unwarranted by the conditions at that time. Mr. Morgan, it was learned today, has not changed his opinion. The conditions still are unsatisfactory and no loan will be forthcoming for Germany unless the situation is materially altered. This is what he told government officials when he was in Washington a few days ago. The situation can be altered and conditions be made favorable to the flotation of a loan to Germany only by a settlement of the reparations question by Germany and the al lies, if the United States is able to bring about such a settlement the way will be paved for the proposed loan. Deep Interest Unavoidable. At the White House it was stated that the United States government is taking "every consistent interest" in the European situation, but that any disclosure at this time of a spe cific nature would tend to defeat the government in the attempts it is now making to be of assistance. The United States, it was stated most emphatically, cannot avoid taking a deep interest in the situa tion which has resulted from the deadlock of the allies over the ques tion of German reparations. That Interest, the White House spokes man declared. Is entirely an unsel fish interest. It is unavoidable and could not be shaken off if every one in the United States were "Irre conciliable," the spokesman- said. In reply to queries as to whether the interest of the American gov ernment in European affairs would take the form of calling an eco1 nomic conference or of participating either officially or unofficially in such a conference to be called by the other powers, the White House spokesman stated" that any dis closures along that line would only tend to embarrass negotiations. Mr. Root Visits White House. The American government, it was stated most' emphatically at the White House, has no desire to avoid its -obvious interest in the present European tangle. It was intimated also that some time in the near fu ture there probably would be de velopments which can be disclosed and which will be of great interest to the public. Elihu Root, ex-secretary of state, was a caller at the White Jlouse to day. The White House Bpokesmati declared that Mr. Root's visit had been purely one of courtesy. Dr. Otto Wiedfeldt, the German ambassador, was a caller at the state department today and spent some time in conference with Sec retary Hughes before the latter left for a cabinet meeting at the White House. HARVEY IS CALLED HOME Consultation "With Ambassador Is - Declared to Be Object. LONDON, Dec. 15. (By the Asso ciated Press.) Ambassador Harvey has been called home for consulta tion, it was stated at the American embassay this afternoon. Hh will sail on the Berengaria December 23. He will not be ac companied by Mrs. Harvey, who will leave the preceding day for a visit to Madeira. The nature of the consultation for which the ambassador was sum moned was not known at the em bassy, where, it was said, the mes sage calling him to Washington merely said it was "for a consulta tion." It is presumed the discus sions with Secretary of State Hughes will co.Ter the whole range of European affairs, including the allied debts, reparations and kin dred subjects. . Ambassador Harvey has been con fined to his bed with a cold for two or three days, but his condition is not sufficiently serious to prevent him from making definite plans for sailing. Stanley Baldwin, the chancellof of the exchequer, and the other members of the British mission which is to visit Washington fot discussion regarding the British debt to the United States, will sail for the United States December 27. POINCARE POLICY UPHELD Deputies Give Vote of Confidence After Long Session. PARIS, Dec. 15. (By the Asso ciated Press.) The chamber of deputies early this morning after a long debate on the general policy of he Poincare government, gave it a vote of confidence. The vote was 612 to 76. Premier Poincare after sketching briefly and optimistically the prog ress of reparations and Turkish peace negotiations, told the cham ber of deputies yesterday that he was ready to withdraw "gracefully,1 if the chamber thought it had ready any other cabinet better qualified than his work for France. Premier Poincare told the cham ber that the general situation had recently grown better instead of worse and expressed surprise at the feeling of fear and anxiety Be had found when he returned from the London conference fo premiers. He asserted he had followed faithfully the programme he had laid down for the government when he took office. Hi ATROCITIES DESCRIBED !! COURT Four Defendants Identified as Men Seen With Guns. WATER DENIED WOUNDED Chicago Newspaper Man Tells of Seeing Rioter Spurn Vic tim With Foot. MARION, 111., Dec. 15. (By the Associated Press.) The attack on the Herrin "strip" mine, the death march through the town with the captives and the hunting down of a few fugitives was 'described today by witnesses at the trial of five men in connection with the killings. All but one of the defendants were named as having been in the pos session of a gun during the progress of the rioting, but all the witnesses so far heard have declared that they could not identify any persons they had seen in the act of shooting at the victims. The defendants who have been pointed out by witnesses as having been seen carrying guns during the rioting are Otis Clark, Bert Grape, Joseph Caranghl and L. V. Mann. The name of Peter Hiller, the fifth defendant, has not yet appeared in any of the testimony. Reporter Given Testimony. Donald M. Ewing, a'Chicago news paper man, who wrote the first ac count of the killings for the Asso ciated Press, picked out Grace from among the defendants as a man who had threatened him with a gun when he attempted to bring a drink ob water to two injured men who were lying on a sun-baked road surrounded by a crowd of armed men Just outside of Herrin. The witness said there were six dead or wounded men lying in the road, all of them bound together by a single rope tied about their necks. "Grace put his foot on one of the wounded men and pushed," the wit ness declared and quoted the de fendant as saying, with a curse: "You'll get no water here." Another witness, Henry Graves, a mine pump man, said he had seen a group of armed men chasing two fugitives through the fields near his house. "I heard the sound of shots," he testified, "and could see the bullets kicking up the dust behind the flee ing men." Fugitive Taken Away. Shortly afterward, he said, a wounded man had taken refuge on his rear porch, but two men who said they were "officers" came and took him away. Under cross-examination Mr. Ew ing explained that some variation between his printed news articles and his testimony today were due to slight typographical and telegraDhi- cal errors such as the changing of tne words "scored" to "sword" and often" to "ten."

"That carried out with arms, legs, etc., and without external aid of ex ternal apparatus, will carry no penalty save a greater rigor of on. servation in subsequent seances That carried out with the aid of any object brought into the seance room, however, is necessarily premeditated and when detected will result in disqualification.

One of the largest her ring plants on the coast of British Columbia is under construction and will be ready for next year's fish ing. Heretofore herring packing, which is large in the aggregate, has been carried on by a number of small plants, some owned and operated by Japanese and others owned by white men, but operated by Japan ese. " No firm, however, has pecialized in the herring-salting industry on a scale to make the product impor tant. Under the new scheme the Maritime Fisheries, Ltd., will erect a Jarge plant on Protection island and will be in a position to take care of the 1923 pack to the extent of 6000 tons. This will require the employment of about 50 men in the plant. THEATER MANAGER DEAD Charles O. Kupper Is Victim of Heart Disease at Salem. SALEM, Or., Dec. 15. (Special.) Charles O.

POWER HELD LACKING AH That . Inquiry Body Can Do Is Report Back to House, In Opinion of Members. WASHINGTON, D. C, Dec. 13. Another surprise "wag furnished be fore the house judiciary committee today with the failure of Repre sentative Keller, republican, Min nesota, to appear in response to s, formal summons to give under oath the information on which he based his impeachment charges against Attorney-General Daugherty. Mr. Keller gave no explanation other than that contained in a let ter from his counsed, Jackson H. Ralston, which stated that Mr. Rals ton was unable to appear today because of imperative business en gagements. "Without submitting at this time to the Jurisdiction of the committee with regard to the subpena," the letter said, "I am expecting at your next meeting, tomorrow, or later, to take- such position before the committee with regard to the sub ject as then may seem appropriate." Committee Delays Action. Arguing that the letter contained no "excuse" for the failure of Mr. Keller to respond to the summons, some committeemen favored an im mediate report to the house, recom mending that he be taken before the bar there in contempt proceedings. Finally, however, the committee de cided to hear his counsel tomorrow before charting its course. Mr. Keller, who was present in the house during practically the en tire session today, conferred late in the day with his counsel as to his future position, but no announce ment was made concerning the con ference. Eearlier in the day some of his friends stated that- he would not submit himself to, the jurisdic tlon of the committee. Members said the committee was without authority to compel his at tendance, that its only course in case of a final refusal to respond to a summons would be to report back to the house. That body, they said, had all the authority of a court in holding a member in con tempt and could enforce its rulings.

There were those who wantd to go on today, but a majority was of th opinion that the further taking of testimony should be delayed until the question of whether Mr. Keller was to appear to furnish the information in his possession had been determined. Chairman Volstead stated during the day that Representatives Wood ruff of Michigan and "Johnson of South Dakota, who have attacked Mr. Daugherty in the house on charges of failure to prosecute war fraud cases, might be summoned. Learning of this, Mr. Woodruff said he was glad the committee was taking cognizance of his charges. Crowd Bigger Than Ever. The crowd at the committee meeting today far exceeded that at any other session. The big room was Jammed, even to standing room. with an overflow outside the doors. There was lacking, however, the dramatic scene furnished late yes terday "when Mr. Keller announced he would not proceed further with the presentation of the charges before this committee. There was a buzs when Mr. Keller failed to respond to his name as it was called by the sergeant-at-arms of the house and then a craning of necks in anticipation of the next move. Chairman Volstead immedl ately had the formal return of the service of the subpena on Mr. Keller admitted to the record and then the arguments as to whether the com mittee should report the Minnesota member for contempt or grand re quest of his counsel for postpone ment until tomorrow got under way. Action Held "Confession." Breaking into the discussion, Chairman Volstead said he thought it was appropriate to state the po sltlon of the committee. He said Mr. Keller's letter of withdrawal an nounced that he was not going to appear any further. "Ie was not our refusal," said Mr. Volstead. "He came here to refuse. And. another thing, he makes the statement in this communication again that he had abundant evi dence, and then he refuses to go on." Representative Jefferis of Ne braska declared the refusal of Mr. Keller' to be sworn was a conies sion" that his charges had not been made in good faith, "but on some ulterior motive." Representative Graham of Illinois asserted that only "trivial" evidence to support the charges had been offered and that for his part, if Mr. Keller re fused to testify as to his informa tion concerning them, he would ask that he be reported to the house for contempt. Untennyer Is Aattacked. Representative Boies of Iowa at tacked Samuel Untermyer of New York, declaring that he was en gaging In "small business in scream ing from his office in New York city against this committee." "He ought to come here in the open as a lawyer and make his charges." declared Mr. Boies.
