-~ DAWES TOCLARIFY VIEWS ON UNIONS Will Declare Attitude Satur- ‘day — Plans “Straight- Shooting” Campaign. By the Associated Press. NEW YORK, August 21.—Charles G. Dawes, Republican candidate for Vice President, will make known his atti- tude toward trade unions in his speech at Augusta next Saturda in which he will open the Republican campaign in Maine. He amnnounced this between trains at the Grand Central Station today in response to the question of one of several newspaper men, who sought to interview him on the rear platform of the car on which a few minutes later he left for Westbrook, Conn. “Do you wish to say anything® con- cerning reports that you are unfriendly to trage unions?” he was asked. Will Make Stamd Clear.- “You will find all that in my Augusta speech,” he replied readily. “Nobody who reads my speeches is going to have. any doubt as to where I stand, but T am not going to make any stump speeches on a railway platform. The vice presidential candidate's 15- minute stay in New York was occa- sioned by the necessity of changing trains on his way from his home in Evanpston, 111, to Westbrook, where he will spend tomorrow with Walter A_.-Wilson, a business associate of Chicago. Tomorrow night he will depart for Maine. “He was met at the station by Rep- resentative John Q. Tilson, chairman of the speakers' bureau of the Re- publican Eastern headquarters; Ferd- erick A. Hicks, Eastern campaign menager, and & large crowd of news- , photographers and motion mera operators. Determination to conduct ‘“‘a -cam- paign of brass tacks,” not ‘‘bombast,” was reiterated by Gen. Dawes as he traveled eastward on his first cam- paign trip. Such an intention was annetunced by the nominee in the ac- ceptance address Tuesday night, and was emphasized by him today in dis- cussing the speech he will make Saturday. Mr. Dawes feels that voters want & discussion of issues, conducted with definiteness and force, rather than any exposition of generalities. Plans “Straight Shooting.” ““The American voting public, in my_ opinion, wants straight-from-the- shoulder shooting from their candi- dates for national office, and I intend to give it to them,” was the way he summed up his intention. Relieving that extemporaneous ad- dress lends itself more to such treat- ment of the issues than does prepared speechmaking, he does not intend to write out his speeches in advance. In fact, before leaving Evanston yester- dzy, he threw in the waste basket the iGdress he had prepared for delivery at Lincoln, Nebr, August 29, on the agricultural question, and will speak extemporaneously. He prepared his Augusta address in part sevearl days RO Although a man of means, Mr. Dawes is not using a special train or even a special car on the present trip, but only an ordinary Pullman, in which he reserves space the same s other travelers. —_— ENVOY HOLDS UP SLURS ON AMERICA _(Continued from First Page.) communication contrary to interna- tional law, and that being the case he says: “I herewith return you the American note. Attack en America. At the same time Mr. Karakhan gave an interview to the Rosta news agency, which is a bolshevik propa- ganda organ in which a scathing at- tack is made on America. He says: “I do not believe the Japanese Minister would have forwarded the note unless duty compelled him to do so. The idiosyncrasy of the American diplomacy up to the pres- ent has acted foolishly and incor- rectly toward the Soviets. The American diplomacy differs widely from the sentiments of the American people, which are entirely different in thought. The people are endowed with common sense, favorably dis- tinguishing them from other nations. American diplomacy is afraid and has such an intense hatred for the Soviet government that the Amer- ican . representative camnot refrain from discourteous communications. It would be an ungrateful task to at- tempt to teamn good manners and politeness to the American repre- sentative. But the question is not & matter of politeness but the bit- ter hatred of America toward the Soviets. This is understandable on account of the Soviets,. ugreement with China, which deals the Amer- ican Chinese policy a heavy blow. Indeed the hypocrisy and Christian bigotry which- have enveloped the American policy’ toward China have been fully exposed to theé eyes of the Chinese people. Much of the luster has been taken off America’s good ‘words concerning the rights of the Chinese people since the Lincheng note and the threatening speeches of the United States Minister. “Faults” of America “America is unwilling to recognize the Soviet government. We do mnot attempt to compel them to do so, but the people of the United States even- tually will force recognition without reservation. The present regime will not exist when that takes place. This is a regime of violence in China ‘which infringes Chinese sovereignty, fosters the strangling ef the Philip- pine people, inculcates interference, with the rights of the South Ameri- can peoples and permits the making of a dog of the negro, who may be killed at will—a regime which re- cently has revealed monstrous forms of corruption in oil deals, which in- cludes Senators, ministers, judges, un- der which a President is unable to find one honest judge to try the of- fenders, for every one on whom his choice fell was found to be involved in the oil scandals or robbing of State property. It is to be hoped that the United ‘States Minister does not ex- pect to recognize all of the brilliant examples of American administra- tion.” The foregoing statement, and much more, was issued to the mnative press today with the object of damaging American prestige in the Orient and causing friction between America and Japan.

Making good his expressed deter- mination to dismiss for want of prosecution all cases that come be- fore him for trial in which police offi- cers, revenue agents or other prose- cuting witnesses fail to show up, Judge Gus A. Schuldt, in the United States branch of Police Court, today dismissed for want of prosccution the cases of the United States against Mamie Lee Murphy and Wilson Grigs- by, jointly charged with sale and possession of whisky. These cases had been on the docket a long time and continued every time they had been docketed for trial be- cause the prosecuting witnesses had not appeared.

An attachment was Issued against Johnson. It was shown today that the attachment had been served, but the man was not in court. Police- man McGilton, another material wit- ness, was not present. The court took occasion, after dismissing the cases, to commend Lieut. Walsh, Sergt. Weber, Revenue Agent Tutt and Headquarters Detective W. H.

While Prof. David Todd, formerly head astronomer for Amherst, is op- timistio of the cn-op,rnllon he is to receive from radio 'stations in his #cheme to maintain silence, with the idea in view of possibly intercepting radio messages from Mars, neither the government nor commercial sta- tions seemed smitten, to any great extent, with the idea today.

An impression prevails in military circles that Rear Admiral Willlam L. Rodgers, a former member of the general board of the Navy, who re- cently was retired for age, is due to receive an official intimation from the Secretary of the Navy that his recent public criticisms of the foreign policies of the British and American governments are not viewed with favor and should be discontinued. Officlals at the Navy Department decline to discuss the matter beyond the general statement that officers of the Army, Navy and Marine Corps are not expected to publicly discuss the foreign affairs of the Government or to take an active part in political campaigns Retired officers are subject to the same restrictions, and equally subject to disciplinary measures for viola- tions of the naval code of good con- duct, it is pointed out, as are officers on the active list. The records show that several re- tired officers have been officially ad- monisted for what was regarded as indiscrete public discussion of na- tional and international questions. In view of the fine record of Admiral Rodgers, it is said, that the authori- ties may overlook his recent criti- cisms of the arms conference and the five-power treaty. —_—— STRICKEN ON YACHT, " SHIPBUILDER VANISHES Member of Cruising Party in Puget Sound Mysteriously Missing From Vessel.

MELILLA, Morocco, August 18 (de- layed).—The fortified position of Ras Afrau, held by a small Spanish force | and besieged for several days by re- bellious Moroccan tribesmen, has been | relieved after fierce flighting, in which the natives were driven back with considerable losses. Ras Afrau is under command of | Gen. San Juro and was garrisoned by two companies of a Melilla regiment, a machine gun company and a bat- tery of artillery. The Moroccans oc- cupied intrenchments in the imme- diate neighborhood. The first ob- Jective of the three relieving columns was the capture of strategic points on the hilltops facing the enem,\‘l They suwceeded in doing this after brief engagements. The enemy left a number of dead on the fleld after chort, sharp bayonet fighting, in| which the foreign legionnaires dis distinguished themselves. The legion- naires adopted the system of advanc- ing with a rifle In one hand and a bayonet in the other. Natives Screem Troops. Native irregulars formed a screen in front of the Spanish troops. The fleet lying off shore co-operated bril- liantly during the preliminary fight- ing, bombarding the enemy concen- tration. Spanfsh aviators also as- sisted by signaling enemy positions. | although they were unable for some- time to fly because of the extremely { strong winds. The guns stationed in the blockhouse joined in the bom- bardment and greatly assisted the advance of the attacking columns. The Moroccans at one time ar- rived so close to the fortifications that they began penetrating the wire defenses. Further progress of the tribesmen, however, was halted by the use of hand grenades. When the action was resumed Sunday the Span- ish troops were able to advance al- most without resistance. They found the defenders of the fort still pos- sessed of sufficient food and ammuni- tion to last three days, and deter- mined to hold out for an even longer period if necessary. ! e —— HARBORD WARNS CHURCH CONCLAVE AGAINST PACIFISM (Continued from First Page.) fence they could hardly advocate a more effective plan.” Preacher Assails Exclusion. “Grave consequences are following as a result of the way in which Japa- nese exclusion was brought about by the recent action of Congress,” said Dr. Sidney L.

The Com- munist deputy, Henri Marty, led tho calls and booing, but the opposition subsided when M. Herriot took the rostrum and began to speak.

Herriot declared that the application of the Dawes plan would dissipate the war spirit and when he told of France's horror at the thought of war.
