. ~10 ~ PRESOENTSLENT ONTHEHOLTLETER Not Disposed Now to Reveal Substitute for League of Nations. By the Associated Press. Hamilton Holt's letter calling on President Harding to disclose his plans for an association of nations to replace the league has failed to draw any reply from the administration and indications are that none will be made, at l:ast for the present. Mr. Holt headed the pro-league re- publicans during_the campaign. It was said at the White House today that his open letter made public in N York vesterday had not yet been received. Further than that officials re- * fused to comment. The impre. out, however, that if President Hard- ing replies to the letter he will not enter into any detalled discussion, and that so far as e administra- tion is concerned the association plan must remain for the present in an indefinite status. as the administra- tion prefers first a definite settlement of peace and a restoration of stable conditions in K Some persons in the confidence of the administration said today that progress of a preliminary character on plans for the proposed association had been made and that at least one draft of a plan had been made by,an eminent ~authority on international law at the request of President Har ing.

Both White House and State De- partment officials continue to decline 1o reveal what specific steps the President has in mind to carry out such a policy. Although the Presi- dent’s first address to Congress was interpreted by some as favoring rati- fication of the Versailles treaty with broad reservations. there is as yet no_indication that he is preparing to submit the treaty to the Senate.

PROFITEERS ON SOLDIERS Deélares Patients Are Given Best Attention Possible—Would Wel- come Federal Hospitals. ALBANY, N. Y., June 17.—Gov. Mil- ler denied that New York state was profiteering on disabled soldier i sane at the Manhatian State Hos- pital on Wards Island. The governor said that he did not ! propose to have the state's survey | board investigate the charges of | profiteering by the state made by William F. Deegan of the American | Legion. in a statement to the New York Evening Post. Mr. Deegan de. | clared the state receives 32 a day for the care of such patients, but spends only 90 cents. “The state would make money and would be immensely pleased if the | federal government would provide & hospital to take charge of the service men who are now in the state institu- tions, and the state would be money ahead if it did 50, the governor de. clared. “Ninety cents is the bare main- tenance. If they would study the ap- propriation bill and understand how much the state has 10 pay to provide the necessary -hospital accommoda- nd the overhead expenses they v ppreciate -that the state is not profiteering. “As a matter of fact, the state is | giving the service men the very best attention possible.” FRATS TO DEFER PLANS. i Secret Societies Decide to Await Action Until Next Fall, Representatives of secret societies in the high schools have decided to defer until after the beginning of the new school term in September their proposed plans to preclude the enforcement of the recent ruling of the board of education, debarring members of such organizations from obtaining distinction or honors while in school, it was learned today. The new order is designed to eradicate the fraternities and sororities, which are said to be flourishing in the high schoals. Several conferences between the fraternities’ representatives were held to decide what’action should be taken relative to the ruling. It was finally agreed to walt until the opening of, the sclicols in_the fall, when t order becemes effective, before tal ing any fur steps. [ — ORDERED TO ANNAPOLIS. Lieut. Cofimander Howard B.

Issuance of beer regulations by the internal revenue bureau, it was said at the Treasury, will await congres- sional action on the Volstead beer bill unless passage of this legislation is | deferred for a considerable period. Officials said brewers had indicated no desire to start the manufacture of ; medical beer in the face of possible hostile legislation, and to avoid an unnecessary outlay by manufacturers, it was thought that the beer regula- tions should await the determination of the attitude of Congress unless there was unusual delay in final action on the Volstead bill.
