Wash- ington. [} A's one eminent professor said he watched President Harding address- ing the joint Congress of the United States: 7 “Where is there a patriotic Ameri- can who does not yearn to look upon such a spectacle; who would not be thrilled at the prospect of seeing this and the almost numberless other at- tractions of the greatest capital city on earth?” That every American citizen will at least be told of the wonders of which the educator referred is the hope of the Baltimore and ' Ohio Rallroad Company, which is at present con- ducting "one of the most extensive “On to Washington” campaigns ever attempted in the interest of the city- It Natie Scope. This campaign has been conducted through advertising on a national scope, four magazines of natio prominence and circulation being used. Various means of following up the campalgn were taken by the com- pany. In each advertisement, for in- stance, a coupon® was attached and upon an individual sending in one of these coupons he was mailed an at- n and printed “Guide together with a ci cular letter giving further inform tion and a postal card which he is requested to fill out and return it he is interested in a trip to Washington. upon receipt of which the company mails a beautifully f{llustrated pam- phlet on the day cere- monies at Arlington, entitled “The New Shrine of Patrlotism for Amer- icans.” These postals are then dis- | | Abe Martin Says: | What gits us is when little girls find time t’ play with the'r dolls.

Physician Charged With Injuries Inflicted on Infant. Hearing was begun yesterday be- fore Justice Stafford and a jury in Circuit Division No. 1 of the suit for $10,000 damages brought by Richard ‘W. Matson against Dr. William Mer- cer Sprigg. for injurles received by the Infant of the plantiff. It is charg- ed that Dr. Sprigg shortly after the birth of the thild at Columbia Hos- pital, June 21, 1919, gave the Infant into the care of a nurse who placed it on a hot sterllizer and, it is alleged, tributed -to’ the company's different, severely burned the young ome on representatives for further solicita- tions. In addition, the company is oper- ating a number of persona'ly con- ducted all-expense tours ts Wash- ington from various portions of the Baltimore _and Ohio system, als~ from certain off-line teTrltnry in co-opera- tion with connecting lines. Teachers and Students Attracted. These tours are largely patron- 1zed by teachers and students of the * higher classes, as they are more di- rectly interested in Washington on account of its educational advantages. Specially prepared letters have been sent to many of the schools and col- leges setting forth the detalls of the tours. Some display advertising also has been inserted in several of the leading teachers’ magazines. Cellu- Joid buttons are furnished all tour p‘menxer: as a means of identifica- tion. For the benefit of those passengers who have only a few hours to spend in Washington. the company has de- signed a set of leaflets entitled “What to See in Washington,’ location and brief description of all important points of interest in one immediate vicinity, enabling them to make the most of their time in one locality. These leaflets are distribu- entering and leaving the city. Various Methods Followed. Various other means have been fol- Jowed in supporting the campaign— inserts of the advertisements and stickers being ‘attached to corre- spondence; enlarged reproductions of the ads have been posted at the com- pany’s stations and the aid of all agents enlisted to give passengers full information on trips to Washing- ton; advertisements run in the com- pany's time-table folders, and con- necting _ line _representatives . snd agents also have been circularized and fully informed ‘as to the cam- peign, soliciting their co-operation. The results thus far secired, ac- cording to W. B.

Under instructions from the Sec- reprogentatives at Brussels, France, Italy and Japan, respectively, in the following terms: “The government of‘ the United States has believed, and still believes, that the governmonts of the allied powers have no disposition to ques tion the right of the United States to be paid, upoa an-equal footing with them, the actual cost of its army of occupation which it has maintained in Germany _since the joint armistice agreement of November 11, 1918. While the attitude of the government of the United States in expecting full payment of these costs has been re- peatedly set forth, it is deemed to be appropriate, in view of recent devel- opments, to make this statement of its position. “The amount of the claim of the Unitea States for its Army costs is understood to be well known and to be free from any substantial dispute. According to the information and ac- counts in the possession of the allied governments, it appears that the to- tal cost of all the armies of occupa- tion from November 11, 1918, to May 1, 1921, amounted to 3,639,282,000 gold marks; that the amounts due to Bel- glum, France and Italy for their army costs for that period have been paid in full (chiéfly through deliveries of property); and that the unpald bal- ance of army costs due May 1, 1921, amounted to 1,660,090,000 gold marks due to the United States and the British empire as follows “United States, 966,374,000 empire, 633.712.000 sold marks. “It is urderstood that between May 1, 1921, and Degember 31, 1921, the British government refeived cash payments as- against this balance, of gold about 130,696,000 gold marks. In view! of the position taken by the govern ment of the United States, this pay- ment was expressly made and re- celved subject to the rights of the United States. Report of Commission. “In November, 1921, the commissien appointed by the supreme council to give its opinion on the expenses of the armles of occupation made its report, dealing with the army costs since May 1, 1921. This included calculations with respect the American Army, and its actual costs since that date were included in the proposed provision for payment pari passu with the other powers. “It. had been supposed that this report to the supreme council would be referred to the conference of am- bassadors and would pave the way for suitable action with respect to the American Army costs, both cur- rent and accumulated. It was with surprise that the government of the United States recently learned that negotiations, In connection with and following the meeting at Cannes in January last, apparently contem- plated the substitution for the recom- mendation of the army costs com- mission of other arrangements which would ignore American Army costs altogether, although imates both for army costs and reparations were being made on the basis of the entire capacity of the German government to pay. When it came to the notice of this government that it was pro- posed at the meeting of the finance ministers, to convene at Paris on March 8, definitely to assign the greater portion of the amount here- tofore paid in cash by Germany, and not yet finally allocated, to the pay- ment of army costs without making any provision' for those of the Amer- ican Army, it was deemed advisable again to direct attention to the posi tion of the United States. The go' ernment of the United States has been advised that all the arrange- ments of the finance ministers have been made subject to the rights of the United States and that thede ministers have also suggestsd that the government of the United States to with the governments concerned. Armistice Provisions. “The armistice agreement concluded between the allied and associated governments and Germany on Novem- ber 11, 1918, provided for military oo- cupation by the allied and United States forces jointly. and it was ex- pressly provided that: ““The upkeep, of the troops of oe- cupation in the Rhine districts (ex- cluding _ Alsace-Lorraine) shall be charged to the German government. “It is not believed that the meaning of this agreement can be regarded as doubtful. It had not only its express provision, but its necessary implica- tiona. It is the view of this govern- ment, and it is confidently believed that it is the view of all the govern- ments concerned, that this agreement on the part of the allied and associ- ated governments with Germany, and with each other, had the clear import that the powers associated in this joint enterprise should stand upon an equal footing as to the payment of all the actual costs of their armies of occupation and that none of the powers could, consistently with the agreement, make any arrangement for a preferential or exclusive right of payment. Further, it is assumed that it would not for a moment be contended that any of the allied pow- ers would have been entitled to enter into any arrangement by which all the assets or revenues of the German empire and its constituent states would be taken for their benefit to the exclusion of any of the other powers concerned. “It was apparently in recognition of the existing ard continuing obliga- tion as to army costs that, in the treaty of Versailles, in undertaking to ‘place ‘a first charge upon all the assets and revenues of the German empire and its constituent states’ (article 248), priority was given to the total cost of all armies of the allied and associated governments in ocoupied German territory from the date of the signature of the armi- stice agreement. Statements in Treaty. “Articles 249 and 251 of the treat: of Versallles provide: £ % “Article 249. ‘There shall be paid by the German government the total cost of all armies of the allied and associated governments in. occupied German territory from the date of the signature of the armistice of Novem- ber 11, 1918, including the keep of men and beasts, lodging and billet- ing, pay and allowances, salaries and wages, bedding, heatin, lighting, clothing, equipment, harness and sad- dlery, armament and rolling stock, alr services, treatment of sick and ‘wounded, ' veterinary -and remount ervices, transport service of all sorts (such as by rail, sea or river, motor lorries), communications and correspondence, and in general the cost of all administrative or techni- cal services the working of which is Tecessary for the trainiug of troops and for keeping their numbers up to strength and preserving their mili- tary efficlency. * * o ' “Article 251. ‘The priority of the Match Your Odd Coat Save the price of an en-* tire new suit.

EISEMAN’S " 605-607 7th St. N.W. should take up the question charges _established by article 248 shall, -subject to the qualifications made below, be a# follows: “'(a) The cost of the armies of oc- cupation as defined under article 249 during the armistice and its exte: ns . “**‘(b) The cost of any armies of oc- cupation as defined under article 248 Lafter the coming into force of the present treaty ¢ ¢ ¢ “By the treaty between the United States and Germany, signed August 25, 1921, the ratifications of which were exchapged on November 11, 1921, it is provided that the United States shall have -and enjoy the rights and ldvlnll‘fel stipulated for the benefit of the United Btates in the ‘treaty of Versailles, notwithstanding the’ fact that, the freaty has not been ratified by the Jnited States. . Exclusion Only by Coemsen “The government of the United States entertains the view, and sub- mits it to the consideration of the al- lled governments, that the United States is entitled to payment of the costs of its army of occupation pari passu, with the allled governments, and that payments received by them from Germany in the circumstances disclosed cannot be used to the ex- cluslon of the United States without its consent. “The government. of .the United States is unable to conclude that the Justice of its claim is not fully recog- nized. The governments of the allied powers will not be unmindful of the fact that the government of the United States has repeatedly and earnestly been solicited not to with- draw {ts army of occupation, and this army has been continued upon the basis of the right to be paid its ac- tual cost upon an wequal footing with the allies. But, while it is belleved that the allied governments cannot fail to appreciate the manifest equity of the claim of the United States, it is understood that it has been su gested that .there are technical diffi- culties which stand in the way of its recognition. While willing to take Into full consideration every possible question, this government is llnl?l to find any such technical ob- cle. It Is assumed that if any technical question were raised, it would be based upon the fact that the United States has not ratified the treaty of Versailles. It may be pointed out, however, that Germany has explicitly consented to the priority of payment of the cost of the American army of occupation notwithstanding the fact that the treaty of Versailles has nof been ratified by the United States. Hence,-any technical objection to the | application of the payments made by Germany to the discharge of the just claim of the United States for the cost of its army of occupation upon the ground that the United States had not ratified the treaty of Versallles would necessarily rest, not upon any action or lack.of action on the/part of Germany, but solely upon the re- fusal of the governments of the allied powers themselves to permit the dis- charge of, an admittedly equitable claim and thus to seek to maintain in their behe'} exclusively a first charge upon .l the assets and reve- nues of the Serman empire and its constituent states for demands ex- hausting the full capacity of the Ger- man government to pay. The gov- ernment of the United States finds it impossible to concelve that any such attitude would be taken by the allled governments. Deniecs Dependence om Ratifyi “The government of the United States believes that its right to prior- ity of payment for its actual Army costs, upon an equal footing with the allied powers, is not in any way af- | fected by its failure to ratify the treaty of Versailles. The right of the United States to share in this priority was not expressly condi- tioned, and in view of the nature of the claim and of the fact that the treaty purported to create a first charge upon all the assets and reve- nues of the German empire should not be construed as being conditioned upon the ratification of the treaty by the United States. It may be noted that the treaty was to come into force on the ratification on the part of Ger- many and of three of the principal allfed ‘and associated powers. By article’ 251, ‘quoted above, there is provision for priority of the ‘cost of the armies of occupation’ during the armistice and its extensions and the cost of ‘any armles’ of occupation after the coming into force of the treaty. This would seem clearly to embrace the cost of the army of occu- pation maintained by the United States. “The government of the United States belleves that its right to be paid the actual cost of its army of occupation pari passu, with the cost of the armies of the allied powers, is not only a clearly equitable right, but is free from any technical objection. “This government will welcome any suggestion from the allled govern- ments for the reagonable adjustment of this matter. Upon receiving assur- ances of payment this government will be only too happy to proceed to the consideration of suitable means by which its just claim may be satis- fled. Pending such consideration and adjustment, this government earn- estly hopes that the allled govern- ments will be disposed to refrain from giving effect to any arrange- ments for the distribution of cash payments received from Germany to the exclusion of the claim of the United States.” NAMED BY DEMOCRATS.

Raises Point of Order. Representative Crago, republican. Pennsylvania, raised a point of order against the provision on the ground that Congress was attempting to usurp the power of the President to direct troop movement: The point of order, however, was overruled by Representative: Longworth, repub- lican, Ohlo, presiding, who declared that while he did so “with personal regret,” he believed Congress in ap- propriating for maintenance of troops could properly place ~such Iimitations on the President and War Department. A motion to eliminate the provision from the bill was then made by Rep- resentative Rogers, republican, Massa- chusetts, but the House adjourned be- fore a vote was taken. After extended discussion the Houses| by decisive _majorities, rejected amendments which would have fixed the maximum enlisted strength at levels other than the 115,000 recom- mendcd by ¢he subcommittee which framed the bill. Chairman Kahn of the military affairs committee pro- rosed that pay be provided for 143,000 men, exclusive of 7,000 Philippine soouts: Representative Sisson, Mis siss subcommittee in charge of the bill, offered an amendment to reduce the maximum to 100,000, while Repre- sentative Quin, democrat, Mississippi, urged that the number of enlisted | 2] men be slashed to 50.000. Another amendment rejected by the House was offered by Representa- tive Knutson, republican, Minnesota, and would have given men stationed outside continental United States the privilege of demanding their dis- charge from the military service while the size of the Army was being reduced. As the bill stands only those on duty in this country would be eligible for discharge on appli- cation. - During discussion of the enlisted strength provision both Mr. Bisson and Representative Mann, republican, Tilinois, predicted that the Senate would insist on a larger army than the House, and that the figure finally agreel upon would be in excess of that fixed by the House. Mr. Kahn said he wanted an army large enough to cope with any ituation. Declaring that the United States was not really wi a situation in lead to trouble. .
