Oil LIQUOR CHE REPUBLICANS PUT Pi 1 PRESIDENT GREETS DIR. Vice President Delivers Mes sage to Women at 30th Congress CHIEF ASSURES INTEREST French and British Ambas sadors Are on the Program WASHINGTON. April IN. (reelings from President Hard in; were given the Daughters of the American Revolution at their 30th continental congress to night, by Vice President Coolidge, who said he had come at the di rection of the president to ' bring his greetings and his assurances of interest in the patriotic work of the soci-ty. " Other speakers were Sir Auckland (leddes, the British ambassador, and Jules J. Jusserand. French ambassador. Sir Auckland made a plea for Anglo-American and allied unity. "'The subtle poison to separate these nations is the most dan gerous propaganda afoot,' he said. '"The only way to defeat it is to give up talking about who did the most to win the war. The allies cannot afford separation now any more than they could during the war." 'Leadership toward world peace lies in the hands of Am erica." he said. "Kvery nation would welcome the seizure of that leadership by America now." The French ambassador ex pressed the gratitude of France to .the society for its care of French war orphans. "We need children more than gold or re parations," he said, "and you aved young France tor us." He presented two Sevres vases and a copy of Houdon's bust of Wash ington as gifts of his government to the society. Changed Traffic Rules Suggested in Portland PORTLAND. Ore.. April 18.

TREATY DEBATE Part in Break Between U. S, And Colombia Is Denied WASHINGTON. April 18 De bate on the Colombian treaty en tered its final phase with Sen atorstPoIndexter. Washington and Townsend, Michigan, republicans, speaking in opposition, and Sen ators New, republican, Indiana; and Williams, democrat, Missis sippi, favoring ratifications. Denying that the American gov ernment instigated the revolution which resulted in the separation of Panama from Colombia in 1903, or that American troops prevented Colombian troops from landing at Colon, Senator Poin- dexter characterized the treaty as! a "proposal to pay Colombia $25,000,000 without consideration I to the United States." Senator Townsend contended that in event of repeal of the act levying tolls on American tonnage passing through the Panama Canal similar freedom from tolls under the treaty would have to be accorded to Colombia. Arguments of those opposing ratification were described by Senator 'New as large "looking backward." He urged the sen ate in its vote, set for Wednesday to take the future into considera tion. Senator Williams urged ratifi cation as a matter of Justice to Colombia, attacked the course of the American government under President Roosevelt with respect to that country as "high handed" and asserted "there was no prece dent for recognition by the United States in 1!03 of about 21 Pan amanians, two or three negroes, a few mules and a Chinaman." Senator Poindexter announced he could not follow Senator Lodge and other administration leaders' in supporting ratification now after having been opposed to the pact in 1917 for, he said, "it is a mathematical certainty that if they were right ten years ago we are wrong now." Discussion will continue to morrow. Committed Suicide by Use of Percussion Cap SEATTLE, April IS.

A new wage scale became effec tive today at the local sawmills with the basic wage tixed at $2.60 a day for common labor. All em ployes from heads of the concern to office men and laborers, are affected by the reductions in wanes. Operators of the plants said that with the recent further declines in the prices of lumber they w.ll either have to cut labor and all other costs to the bone or cease to run their mills. Serious question is raised as to whether, even with the $2.60 base, the plants can con tinue to run and break even, ow ing to the great supply of lumber for which no market is now avail able and which must be p.led in I the yards.

China is menaced by three "enemies." article 21 of the league of nations covenant, the Anulo Japanese alliance and athe Lan-sing-lsh I exchange of notes. Dr. Wang, chief Justice of the su preme court of China who is en route to Geneva where he will en gage in conferences on revision of the league covenant, dec lared here today. "China's first enemy." said Dr. Wan, "is article 21 which lays down the untenable doctrine of so-called regional understand nus. and which is not only a direct challenge to Chinas integrity be. cause of its interpretation, but which is destructive of the league itself, since it permits all member powers to form pr.vate groups to exploit in their own interests the territories and waters of the neighboring member powers. China is determined to have this article amended." The Anglo-Japanese alliance was characterized by Dr. Wang as the "second enemy" and he said he hoped to show during h s stay in Canada that renewal of that al liance "in any form whatsoever" would tend to lead o a war "in which China must necessarily par ticipate on the side of the United States, thus rendering nugatory all British declarations retarding England, be ng absolved from par ticipation in an American-Japanese conflict." Intervention of a third power, munitioned and equipped by one of tbe belligerents, must make the alliance apply to both signatories. Dr. Wang declared. The third "enemy," Dr. Wang said, is the Lansing-Ishii exchange of notes with their "equally un tenable doctrine that geographical propinquity confers rights."
