PHILADELPHIA, December 13.— FOCH SAYS ARMENIANS SHOULD DEFEND SELVES First Step in Defense Iz to Take Up Arms, He Declares in Answer to Appeal. By the Associated Press. QUEBEC, December 12.—When Mar- shal Foch was appealed to here today by Archpriest M. Mighirian, represent- ative of the Armenian-Catholic patri- arch, to help save the Armenians, he replied: “We cannot save a country if they do not make their own defense. The first thing is to take up arms and fight, and we do not negotiate with So important have been the achieve- | encmies.” The marshal added, however, that ments of the Washington conference | o would note the request. <o limit armament that its success is assured, Vice President Calvin Cool- idge declared last night in an ad- dress before the Philadelphia Forum. All of the recent developments have shown that the Japanese are as anx- jous as the other nations to get out of China, he said, while the prompt response of Admiral Baron Kato to accept_the proposals of Secretary of State Hughes for a naval reduction indicates that an agreement of naval ratios will be reached. Proposed Parleys. The highly important development of the conference, however, Mr. Cool- idge said, has been the suggestion of President Harding that the meet- ings be continued. But it was made even more important, he added, by the further suggestion that Germany be included in the deliberations. “Some have been alarmed at this suggestion,” he said, “fearing that our country might become involved in the affairs of other countries to our own detriment, be led to an attempt 10 _exercise authority over peoples and in places where we have no re- sponsibility, or to submit our own fairs to outside influence and dicta- tion. This is but a re-statement of the contest which was waged over the ratification of the peace treaty. ‘This question has been definitely de- cided by the American people and the suggestion of the President could not have involved any undertaking of 1hat nature.” Republican Position. Q‘\;otlng the republican platform, he sald: “We believe that all this can be done without the compromise of na- tional independence, without depriv- ing the people of the Unitsd States in advance of the right to determine for themselves what is just and fair when the occasion arises, and without in- olving them as participants and not s peacemakeérs in the multitude of juarrels the merits of which they are unable to judge. And we pledge the coming republican administration to such agreements with the other na- tions of the world as shall meet the jull duty of America to civilization #nd humanity in accordance with American ideals, without the sur- rendering the right of the American people to exercise its judgment and its power in favor of justice and peace.” Mr. Coolidge also touched upon the fevements of the special session of ongress. “No peace Congress ever ccomplished more in so. short a " he said, adding that 136 bills pointed out that the budget submitted by President Harding at the opening of the present Congress was the first ever submitted, declaring that “it can be followed with a reasonable degree of agreement and will go far toward putting the expenditures of the na- tional government on a peace basis und result in very large savings.” THREE HELD IN SHOOTING.

HUNT BODIES OF FOUR MEN IN $200,000 FIRE Thirty Burned in Chemical Plant ‘Where Bursting Electric Light Globe Starts Blaze. By the Associated Press. PASSAIC, N. J., December 13.—Fire- men were searching the ruins of the plant of the Hayden Chemical Company of America today for the bodies of four men, reported missing following a fire and an explosion at the plant yesterday which did damage estimated at $200,000. The men falled to return to their homes last night, although a hasty search after flk:e fire had not disclosed any trace of them. - Thirty employes were burned in the fire which, after the explosion of a tank of chemicals, had soon spread throughout the building. Six of the in- jured were still in the hespital this morning while the others were treated at the scene and sent to their homes.

Ryan, and used for the manufacture of drugs and disinfectants. HOWAT SUIT DELAYED. Kansas Injunction Case to Be Hearaxyn December 19. KANSAS CITY, Mo., December 13.

By the Associated Press. BERLIN, December 12.—Belief in an international bank note as the sole ex- Pedient for solving the prevailing world ; financial unrest was expressed today by Dr. Otto Arendt, prominent German coinage expert, who was one of the ploneer Silver colnage advocates. Dr. Arendt discards as infeasible the Amer- ican plan for the establishment of an international bank with a giant gold Teserve. The international bank note, says Dr. Arendt, would not require covering, as its character as the legalised medium of paying would wholly suffice to give it the necessary value. He says the American suggestion of an international | bank which would issue notes backed by gold is infeasible for the simple reason that either such an institution must be prepared to redeem its notes in gold, in which case it soon would be rid of its yellow metal, or its gold fund would merely rest the bank's vaults as a decorative security, as does the reichs- bank’s reserve.
