Thé President was rej-cted to have listence to the plea of the committee with interest and sympathy. At its close the President is said to have declared his unalterable belief in the full rights of all citizens.

The plea for abolishing segregation in_the federal departments read as follow “To take cognizance of thé segra- gation remaining from the last south- ern democratic administrations or en- larged since of the colored employes of the federal government itseif in the very federal government build- ings in the executive department of which you are the supfeme head, and 10 abolish it altogether by executive order or some wise, thus undoing di- rect humiliation and hurtful degra dation of citizens by the United States jtself. Most earnestly do we pray this in your department and pray you tell us now.” Walsh Plea Frulfless. Senator Thomas J. ‘Walsh of Mon- tana, who yesterday suggested to President Cooiidge that steps be taken to apprise the British ambas- eador that the United States would Dbe pleased to see the case of Eamonn do Valera settled in some other way than by the execution of the Irish leader, said’ today .that he.had ‘Te- ceived mo Promipes” in regard, 0. the matter. Cables from Irish fepublican lcad- ers to friends in Montuna were for- warded to Senator Walsh with a re- quest that he take tle mattér up with the President. The messages expressed the fear that.court-martial yroceedings would be had against dé Valera and that he would be rall- roaded to execution. “This government should object to such action purely as.a humaritarian proposition.” sald Senator Walsh. He dded that his action did not indicate ympatly with de Valera's actions.

Both Mr. Harvey and Mr. Child a. ted Warren Harding in the prepa- ration of his 1920 speeches at Marion, they both urged him to steer away from European questions much as possible. Ambussador Ha vey always hus been a member of that group of American literary men | who_cherished a traditional fondness ! for Breat Britain, and the belief pre- | vails now that he comes back just as friendly to Great Britain, but not ex- actly won over to the idea of any spe- cial arrangement for a_world league.

Child Intense Nationalist. As for Mr. Child he has become a disciple of the theory of intense na- tionalism which is sweeping Europe today. He thinks the fascisti move- ment is an excellent example of the reawakening of the virile spirit in notions and that democracies can achieve their greatest objectives by following the doctrines of Mussolini's party in Italy. Premler Polncare in France is following the nationalistic theory of getting all possible advan- tage for France irrespective of the effect on Germany or the rest of the world and there are Britons who feel their government should withdraw from the continent and take care of the home problems that are pressing | or attention. The opposing schooi Insists that continental economic o; ditlons must be corrected before do- mestic affairs can be improved. And so runs the conilict between the policy of isolation, or.national aloofness, and formulas of co-opera- tion and {nternational conference. Messrs. Child and Harvey are lea efs in the nationalist achool, and they have on their side in the American cmbassies in Europe Ambassadey lexander P. Moore of Spaln. one o Hiram Johnson's original boosters. On the other side are Ambassador Allan-B. Houghton, American ambas- sador to Germany, who favors a more dctive program of co-operation with Kurope and ald for Germany, and Myron T. Herrick, American amba: sador to France, who feels that Amer- | ican moral support should be thrown | to the French and that America | should assume a pesitioh of alert ins | terest in European affairs. It will be interesting to see what types will succced Messrs. Harvey and Child. LEVIATHAN IN STORM; " HAS DOORS SMASHED Huge Liner Reaches Sonthampton on Schedule After “Rough- est” Voyage.

Capt.

In the first car of the special train were a score of newspaper correspondents. “Washington Britsin’s Founder.” At a luncheon tendered him by the United Press, the former premier d ciared that Great Britain “feels debt of gratitude to the great people of the United States of America that it can never repay.” Pointing to the bonds of common tradition and viewpoint between the United States and at Britain, Mr. Lioyd George sald e few un- pleasant incidents” which separated the two nations occurred a long time ago. n fact” he added, “we claim that the real founder of the British emplre as we know it Is George Washington.

Lloyd George's final expression of appreciation for the manner of his American welcome was: ““The stupendous welcomé I recelyed sssures me that you will be satisfied to have me come back. and 1 in turn am eatisfied that 1 will have a good time, ‘The occasion will stand out as one of the most enjoyable and one of the most touching of my life.” “Tired?" he repeated the question, his eyes dancing merrily. “Getting tired is somethis don't know any- thing-about.

Schur loom- ed up in the distance. The Army plane |was flying at 114.62 miles average for |the two ‘laps; the Navy ship could moments later, Lieut.” Hallenberg. only turn over 107.10. Just a few who_had started elghtH, finished fifth on the first lap, beating out the other Army entrants by a good distance for third place in the second lap. At this time the positions occupied by the three ships, Army, Naty and Marine Corps, were maintained throughout the race, the same planes finishing in one, two and three orde: Neover orce was each threatened for his position. The throtties were open. ed as wide as possible; the plane had to do the rest. Lieut. Wade, re- garded as a possible winner left his icourse just as he turned the home pylon at the end of the third lap. He flew in the direction of the fleld and one motor could be heard sputtering or “cutting out." ‘The trouble apparently was cor- rected and he returned to the race, but a few minutes later reports were received at the judges' stand that he was down at the third pylon. An exceptional pilot, Lieut Wade, “set the huge bomber down in a fleld with no damage to the plane. Flies With Contral Broken. Aside from this Incident, the only other feature of the race was the consistent speed maintained by Lieut. Crocker in the T-2. Throughout the 186 42-mile course he averaged a speed of 94 and a fraction miles— the fraction varying only slightly. This was the steadiest speed ever recorded, 80 the judges belleved. guished himself ia tew months ago by flying from the Gulf of Mexico to the Canadian bor- der without a stop, using a De Havi- lllnd plane. As with the winner yesterday in the Liberty engine builders’ race for observations, the same situation— that of following a Navy ship be- lleved to be far in the lead, but actu- ally out of the race—obtained with Lieut, George. The entire six trips over the 31.07-mile course were cov- ered by the Aberdeen pilot, who all iplane numbered On landing Lieut. George outlapped Lieut. Crock- er and Capt. Black. He was congrat- ulated by Gen. Patrick. chief of the air service, who also felicitated Sergt | Pete Ceccata, the assistant pliot of | the bomber. 'Lieut. George declared that a control wire for the verticle | fin broke on the third lap which caused him much worry throughout the race. Lieut. Schur overflew the course by : one 1ap, missounding the number of times he had traveiled around the | yions. A8 Lieut. Hallenberg’s Martin bomb- er flew across the finishing line at an altitude of twenty feet it zoomed circled and landed. " He was surround- ed by Marine Corps and Navy officers and_congratulated for the good race he flew. Throughout the contest the left motor gave Lieut. Hallenberg trouble and It soon became necessary for him to fly it at 150 revolutions less than the right engine. e Quantico pilot declared he could not have covered another lap as his ! radiator leaked the entire afternoon. !

LONDON, October 4.—Resignation of 7 German cabinet had been fully ex- pected in British political and financial circles and consequently caused little comment in the morning papers. It did, however, bring forth a crop of specula- tion as to the probable effect on the fate of the Ruhr district. Franco-British co-operation was widely discussed, with the idea that both coun- tries should take an equal share with the German industrialists in the re- bullding of the Ruhr industries. Ac- cording to one report, Hritish capital- ists are willing to ‘advance funds for the reconditioning of Ruhr mines, fac- torfes and railroads, provided France will agree to permit the German indus- trialists to use their organizing power to bring about rehabilitation.
