FORD EXTOLLED KLAN MONTREAL STAR SAYS “Body of Patriots” Is Designation of Order Attributed in Interview. Mass., Man- By the Asociated Press. MONTREAL, August 27.—"If the truth were known about the Ku Klux Klan, it would be looked up to as a body of patriots” Henry Kord is quoted as asserting in an article printed in the Montreal Star. “It (the Klan) is the victim of a mass of lying propaganda.” he is re- ported to have said, “and is. there- fore, looked upon with distavor in many quarters. But if the truth were known about it, it would be looked up to as a body of patriots concerned with nothing but the future of the country in which it was born and the preservation of the supremacy of the true American in his own land.” The interview was a long-range affair, the Star says, with the auto- mobile manufacturer standing on the deck of his vacht, held up on its progress to Dearborn while a lock of the Lachime Canal was being fill- ed. The mamufacturer shouted and gestured his answers to the news- paper men's questions voiced from the dock 10 feet below him — COOLIDGE PRAISES PLAN TO SEND AID TO GERMANY By the Associated Press. NEW YORK, August 27.—A letter from President Coolidge, commending the plan of the Woman's Church Com- mittee on International Goodwill to send a Christmas relief ship to Ger- many, was made public yesterday by Miss Carolena M. Wood, chairman of the committee. “It is as an expression,” the Presi- dent wrote, “of the charitable heart of America that I am glad to hear of the Christmas ship which the Wom- an’s Church Committee of Interna- tional Goodwill plans to send to the women and children of Germany. the appeal of little children is world wide, and America never has turned a deaf ear, whether the cry came from Armenia or from the devasated regions of France, from Rumania or from the Far East. Such charity, is I believe, an aspect of the good will of America to all nations, of our desire to promote durable peace through mutual understanding.” The ship, which will sail November 10, will be followed by a group of American women, who will speak in Germany in the imterest of interna- tional friendship. A church com- mittee of German women, assisted by the American Friends, will dis- tribute the shipload of supplies to impoverished Germans. WANTS ZEPPELIN R-3 TO EXTEND FLIGHT D. C.

Falia ARMY COURT FORMED IN PHILIPPINE MUTINY MacArthur to Head Board of Officers for Ringleaders’ Trial. By the Associated Press. ' MANILA, August.7.—The person- nel of the military court selected to try 17 alleged ringleaders on a charge of causing mutiny among Philippine scouts will be the same, with one exception, as the court which tried and convicted 204 scouts recently, according to a decision reached yesterday. The defense challenged the person- nel of the military court, but with- drew the challenge before the court- martial after the members stated that, notwithstanding their part in the previous findings, they were still open-minded. The court now consists of seven officers, with Brig. Gen. MacArthur presiding. Sergt. Avla testified yesterday that he visited the hospital at Fort Mc- last July as & member of the Army intelligence department. As soon as he entered the hospital, he testified, one of the defendants said “LooK out, here’s a man who has come to arrest us!

PRESS Universal Congress Puts Levy Back to Pre-War Basis. BY GEORGE WITTE. By Cable to The Star and Chicago Daily News TOCKHOLM, August 27.—The Universal Postal Congress, adjourns tomorrow to meet again in London in 1929, undoubtediy will receive a vote of thanks from business men, lovers and newspapers with international relations. For the congress signed conventions reduc- ing postage to prewar rates and low- ering newspaper rate from two ounces for 1 cent to four ounces for 1 cent. The new rates become effective October 1, 192 Rates for first-class matter in the U affected, as the United States is prac- tically the only country which failed to avail herself of the 100 per cent increase authorized by the last postal congress, at Madrid, in 1920. The reductions in postage are made possible by agreements signed by 37 countries lowering the transit charges fo first and second class mail. Joseph Stewart, executive assistant to Postmaster General New, who headed the American delegation, in commenting upon the reduced newspaper rates said: Aids UL Press. “These lowered rates will help Amer- ican newspapers which give their readers daily issues of many pages to extend their circulation in foreign countries. Representatives of many of the smaller nations have pointed out to me how expensive American newspapers were, owing to the effect of the high postage rates applied to the large editions. For that reason, they said, governments whose means were limited, could subscribe only for two or three American papers.” This year is the fiftieth anniversary of the establishment of the Universal Postal Union, and the congress au- thorized the placing of a suitable tab- let in Stockhold to commemorate the half-centenary of the formation of the union, in which the United States took Bielouss’ Pharmacy E.

FRIEDRICHSHAFEN, Germany, August 27.—The ZR-3 will late this afternoon make a so-called shop flight it weather permits, flying over Lake Constance for four or five hours solely for the purpose of “limbering up.” The dirigible still was in her han- gar this morning, although her mo- tors had been buzzing away with full force the last three days. Only a German crew will be on board on the flight today, as the initial trip is intended only to afford a thorough Inspection of the ship in flight, pre- paratory to the long cruise across the Atlantic. Whether the ZR-3 will fly the northern or the southern transat- lantic route has not been decided. This will be determined largely by weather conditions.
