WASHINGTON. AprH 2. Re
call to the diplomatic corps of Dr.
David Jayne Hill of New York aud
Henry Lane, Wilson, of Indiana,
both of whom served a ambassa
dors under the last Republican
administration,' is understood to
be under serious consideration by
President Harding.
Dr. Hill, who was American en
voy to Germany under both Pres
idents Roosevelt and Taft. Is said
to be foremost in the president's
mind, for the ambassadorship to
japan while Mr. Wilson, a former
ambassador to Mexico, may go
either to Rome or Constantinople.
Although in no case has the se
lection reached a point warranting
a definite announcement. Mr.
Harding is understood to be ap
thls and several other Important
appointments to diplomatic ser
vice. The nominations of two or
three ambassadors and a like
number of ministers may go to the
senate next week.
Both Men Acceptable
Roth Dr. Hill and Mr. Wilson
have had long diplomatic exper
ience, a consideration which
weighed strongly In their favor
when the president, shortly after
his inauguration asked the state
department to prepare a summary
of the records of all aspirants for
diplomatic posts. In addition,
both men are said to be accepta
ble to tbe present department of
ficiate. ,
Dr. Hill, a well-known political
writer was assistant secretary or
state from 1898 to 103. and
subsequently served as minister
to Switzerland and to Tbe Neth
erlands before accepting the am
bassadorship to Germany. He was
at Berlin from 1908 to 1911.
Mr. Wilson's diplomatic ser
vice began in 1907 when he was
named minister to Chile and was
interrupted in 1913 when he re
signed as ambassador to Mexico
after a break with President Wil
son over the Mexican policy of
the Democratic administration.
Meantime he had been minister to
Greece and Belgium and had been
appointed ambassador to Turkey,
a post which he never filled be
cause President Taft sent him to
Mexico instead.

Teutons "Persuaded That

Economic Peace."
NOTE IS PRESENTED
BY GERMAN EMBASSY
Foreign Minister Intimates
Hope That America Will
Act as Mediator
LONDON, April 22 Cerfany
Las wnt a note to the Uritish
government reiterating her com-j
puta willingness to undertake the
reconstruction of devastated
Prance.
The not-?, which came from the
German foreign office, was de
'vered by the German embassy to
'he British foreign office tonight.
It follows:
"Germany is absolutely per
suaded that it is unavoidably n
cejwary for the purpose of restor
ing economic peace throughout
the world that the territories de
'.isufted through the war should
be reconstructed and restored.
Until this is done there will be
danger that feelings of hate will
continue to exist among the na
tions concerned-
"Germany therefore declares
herself once more to be entirely
willing to co-operate In this re
construction with all the means
and strength at htr disposal and
to take into account in regard
thereto, in every Individual case,
each wish of the power concerned
as far as is possible."
The foreign minister added that
he impression in foreign coun
tries that Germany had under
estimated her own ranarlfv onH
her possibilities must gradually
wo uupeiiea. in presenting the
Reichstag with the American
note, lr? said It bad been received
too late for consideration by the
cabinet.
Tbe American
the foreign minister Raid to the
cnamner. bas declined to act as
an empire, but it has not de
clined to act as mediator."
Strong protest against French
occupation of the coal fields in
the Ruhr district is
a manifesto issued by the parlia
mentary committee of the trades
union congress and the nocnHn
of the labor party tonight. The
wnoie question or German obi iga
tions. it Bays, ought to be settled
by neutral arbitration or an im
partial court, and not by the cred
itors themselves.
The proposed coercion of Ger
many, says the manifesto, will
add to the misery of workers in
central Europe, delay economic
recovery and aggravate the Brit
ish industrial critiis.
PARIS. April 2a The Com
munist committee last night pla
carded the walls or Paris with
posters which said that the rep
arations problem was. a problem
of the classes and that the allies
could not legally claim the Ger
man people were not responsible
tor the war.
The placards also renuesfoi tho
Frenchmen not to respond to the
goernmenrs mobilization orders.
WASHINGTON, April 22.
Any reparations proposals the
German government may submit
to the Tnited States for transmis
sion to the allies must be of a
character those governments will
be willing to consider and there
fore before being formally pre
stnted o the powers as a whole,
will probably be made clear to the
governments separately.
Pending a reparations offer
possibly tomorrow as a result of
ihe German cabinet council meet
ing tonight, official comment was
withheld. It was known, however
that diplomatic representatives
here of the allied governments
had exchanged opinions today on
Secretary" Hughes' reply to Ger
many appeal for mediation of
the reparations dispute ana it is
understood that the situation had
beer discussed informally by of
ficials of tbe United States and
those of the interested European
nations.
' The declaration of Dr. Simons,
German foreign minister, in the
role ha tag that in drawing up a
basis of its proposition the Ger
man government "must go to the
extreme limits of what the Ger
man people can furnish in the
way of reparations," was inter
preted here as an acceptance. u
principle, at least, of the Ameri
can statement that the. United
States stands with the allies in
holding Germany responsible for
he war and therefore morally
bound to make restitution to the
full extent of hi- .Kntty to pay.

Physicians Having Contagi
ous Cases and Not Re
porting Violate Law
Journalistic friends of Dr. H.
O. Hickman of Gervais, who was
overhauled on the Pacific high
way near Gervais Wednesday
night by agents with state licen
ses, reiterate that the reason the
doctor was driving so fast was
that he was go:ng to see a patient
who was ill with diphtheria.
Where the information comes
from tbe doctor had a diphtheria
patient is conjectural,, since the
doctor, according to F, W. Sny
der, one of the agents, made no
claim ot that kind to the offi
cers. Dr. C. E. Cashstt, county
health officer, says no cases of
diphtheria hav been -reported to
him for weeks and that a physic
ian having such a case would vio

The doctor was driving from Sa

automobile, suspected that the
motor car was carrying liqnrr,
but when the ear was. searched
and no booze found, a 'charge of
violating the traffic laws was
made. Snyder says Hickman was
traveling from 37 to 47 miles an
hour and that the agents have in
structions from the secretary of
state to pick up all violators of
the traffic laws.

The negative team on the
home floor presented a well-outlined
case, basing their arguments
on the qualities of the percentage
basis the regulation of immigra
tion to this country, rather than
on the prohibition of all immigra
tion from that section of Europe.
Vivid pictures of the horrid con

This Is considered an import

that they offered were misleading
