The letter follows: “Dear Governor: Referring to & recent conversation between us rela- tive to road legislation, especially to your definite recom- mendation to the general assembly for a limited and properly guarded bond issue for roads, I feel tha I may take the liberty of expressing my full, even if unsolicited, concur- rence in this view that bonds so ls- sued in such an amount as that the annual interest thereon, together with a properly adjusted sinking fund, would not exceed in the aggregate the amount produced by the present state levies for such purposé, with the amount to be reasonably expected from the proposed gasoline tax, while not increasing the present burden, would capitalize these tax items in a fund immediately avall- able for much needed ro construc- tion and maintenan I unhesitat- ingly subscribe to the policy of road bondy to the extent I have indicated, beliving that it is sound and business-like under nt condi- tions.’ Tor Immedinte Fund. The bond issue forces call attention to the fact that they are Now Propos- ing to do exactly what ex-Gov. Stuart suggested, to-wit: Capitalize existing road tax items and raise an imme- diately available fund for the com- pletion of the state highway system and for the construction of XIUI(‘QI).NW of feeder roads connecting with the system. At the time Gov. Stuart wrote the letter set out above to Gov. Trin- kle the latter was then urging a bond issue. Since that time both men have switched their positions.

The declaration that Presldent Cool- tdge was “unalterably opposed to the cancellation by the United Si the debt owed it by the Kuropean countries” cmanated from the White House last Friday. The debt ques- tions, it was sald, were in the hands of the funding commission created by Congress, and the President’s posi- tion was that the government could only make settlements within the terms of the act creating the com- mission. He felt, however, that the Tnited States should not unduly press any of its debtors and should be 1iberal in the settlements it makes.

BONUS COST ESTIMATED. Revival of the discussion of bonus for world war veterans, fol- lowed by statements of the American Leglon that legislation vetoed by the late President Harding would be en- acted at the next session of Congress, has brought forth a statement from the national industrial conference board of New York, pointing out that the cost of such a bonus to the peopie, and the additions 1t would put on the na- tional debt with its accompanying in- crease in taxation. ‘The statement of the board says that it will cost about four billion dollars to carry such-a bonus lgw into effect, in the event that all veterans elect ‘to accept it.

Beck, solicitor general of the United States, who is being prom- inently mentioned with a dozen or 50 of others for appointment by Pres- ident Coolidge as ambassador to the Court of St. James to, succeed Col. George Harvey, was fn conference with the President at the White House today. The interview was brief and the solicitor general sald afterward that he would again con- |lgr with the President later in the 1 week. When asked for an expression re- garding the persistent manner in which his name is being mentioned in connection with the London post, Mr. Beck responded that he did rot know whether his name would be considered or not. He declined to amplify this answer. Noted as Speaker. Solicltor General Beck, a native of Philadelphia, is looked upon as one of the foremost lawyers of this coun- try and ranks high as an orator and after-dinner speaker. The fact that Mr. Beck entered the White House office today in company with Secretary of State’ Hughes nat- urally gave rise to considerable spec- ulation in connection with filling of the ambassadorship to Great Britain. This was only a coincidence, how- ever, and Secretary Hughes said afterward that his call on the Presi dent had nothing to do with Mr. Beck nor the filling of the Harvey vacancy. Those who are in- a position to know are of the opinion that the President will_move slowly in arriving at a conclusion in making this important appointment. Suceessor to Child.” No information has been given either as _to the President's possible cholce of a successor to Richard Washburn Child, who has resigned as ambassador to Rome. It is under- stood, though, that this appointment will be made somewhat in advance of filling the St. James post. Many of those who have discussed the matter of an ambassador to Mexico with President Coolidge recently are of the ovinfon that he will name Col. R. B. Creager of Texas, who was a per- sonal friend of President Harding. Eugene Nolte, the republican state chairman of Texas, who was at the White House today, said that he had reason to feel that Col. Creager. had been decided upon. Mr. Nolte sald that the republican prospects in Texas are especially bright at this time and that he ex- pected the party's organization to make a record-breaking showing in the next national campaign. moment, are more interested in busi- ness and industry and agriculture than they are in politics. Col. Thomas W. Miller, alien prop- erty custodian, reported to the Presi- dent today that the special commis- sion from his office sent to Berlin to open a branch for the alien property custodian had safely arrived and would immediately enter upon their duties. Among others received by the Presi- of the United Commission, who discussed routine matters with the executive; Harry M. Blair, F. J.

Mr. Cochran said he belleves strong Illressure will be brought to bear to |place the enforcement of prohibition in a separate bureau. He suggested civil service examinations in appoint- ing prohibition agents. A number of resolutions were adopt- ed, including a call ‘upon all organi- zatlons, clvic, philanthropic and relig- fous, to join in a vigorous educational campaign in the interest of obedience to all law. Another part of the reso- lution protested against such modi- fication of the enforcement code as would legalize wine and beer.

Resolutions deploring the use wheels of fortune and other gambling devices at community _ gatherings, fairs and carnivals and racetrack gambling were also adopted. - The resolutions pledged the unceasing ef- forts of the organizations against these evils “until they are banished from the state.” Other resolutions were adopted de claring for an intensive educational campaign against the drug menace, and constant effort to impress upon children’s minds the harmful effects of the use of tobacco, especially con- demning the growing habit women, mong LOSES DESERTION SUIT.

RUHR CRUELTIE Contrasts French Occupation to That of Germans During War. By the Assoclated Press. PARIS, October 8.—Premier Poin- care yesterday delivered two specches in the department of the Meuse. The first, at Plerrefitte, dealt entirely with local topics, except for a reference to David Lloyd George, former British) premier, when he touched upon “for- mer ministers who regularly dispar- age France's policy in weekly articles or who continue their 'campaign by undertaking resounding lecture tours.” In both speeches M. Poincare ap- pealed for support for a new issue of treasury bills, the proceeds of which 1are to be devoted entirely to the dev- |astated region. {_In his second speech at Ligny-en- Barrois he replied to the German charges of inhuman conduct by the {French and Belgians in German occu- ipled territory by contrasting the itreatment of the people of Duessel- dort by the police last Sunday with the treatment of the inhabitants by the French and Belgian soldlers. Thirty thousand persons, he sald, had met in Duesseldorf for a mani- testation in favor of local autonomy. Fired on Crowd. “Suddenly,’ 'he declared, “a detach- ment of German police left their bar- racks and opened fire on the inof- fensive crowd without preliminary warning. The green police three quarters of an hour later, without reason, fired on a group of Rhine- landers awaiting trains. M. Poincare said the French troops restored order without shedding, a drop of blood. “They ended the carnage which the Germans werc committing,” he ex- claimed. There were 20 Ocasualties on that day and French and Belgian sentinels often were attacked, but never fired without a warning. Dur- ing the whole perfod of occupation only sixty-four persons had been kill- cd in the Ruhr and twenty-eight in the earlie roccupled area. ‘Will Stick to Demands. “Whoever may be called to direct the destinies of Germany,” sald M. Polncare, “we Intend to remain faith- ful to ourselves. We shall continue to demand permanent guarantees of security and the sum total of our reparations. We shall be prepared to listen to definite proposals when we are convinced that resistance has ceased and when the payments in kind due us are resumed in their regular course. * * * “I hove that as time passes those of our allies who have not yet approved of our conduct will finish by appre- ciating ft. M. Poincare sald he had answered words from across the channel which had sald, “you are wrong in attaching yourself so obstinately to the Ver- sailies treaty, which is not executa- ble,” by asking “then, why did you sign 1t? Why did you draw up the essential clauses?” Now Hold Security. The premlier then took up the criti cism addressed to France to the fect that it was impossible -for Ger- many to pay what she owed, and that the occupation of the Ruhr was not a good method for obtaining pay- ment. “He sald that when Essen was | occupled Germany already had de- | clared herself incapable of paying, and had demanded a moratorium of {several years, “It we had not occu- {pled the Rubr” he declared, “w should be ag today, facing a default- ing debtor, but without security Now, on the contrary, we hold guar- ! antees.” When dealing With the Ruhr policy, M. Poincare made reference to Mr. anldwln, the British premier, as fol- ow: Like the British premier, I do not believe there is irreducable opposition | between our point of view and that of_the London-cabinet.” M. Poincare said the French yellow book gave France's program, “of which 1, naturally, have nothing to change” But, he added, “it is great to think that’ friendly conversations | like those I recently had with Mr. Baldwin, may be rénewed from time to time 'to tighten the bonds of the entente.” H M. Poincare’s final words included | a feeling reference to the losses which Great Britain “suffered and is still suffering” from the war and an ex- pression of determination mnot to make advances to Germany indefi- nitely, as France would be in a posi- tion to compel her to execute her obligations. “In recognizing that she is unable to continue passive resistance,” de- clared M. Poincare, “she has put us in the position, if we do not let our | firmness slacken, to obtain the satis- faction to which'we have a right.” MARYLAND LEGION - TO POLL WAR MEN!
