COOLIDGE TO HEAR OF STATE AFFAIRS Kellogg to Visit White Pine| Camp to Report on Many | Unsettled Issues. | Board to Inspect Old Battlefields For Use as Parks An Army board has been constl- tuted to make a study and investi- gation of battlefields in the United States, especlally those of the War of the Revolution, the War of 1812 and the Civil War, with a view to the adoption of a system for the selection of such of them as are deemed worthy of deveiopment into hational military parks. Secretary Kelloge will visit Presi-| dent Coolidge at White Pine Camp in | ihe net few days or early in August to discuss with the head.of the ad-| ministration the most extensive array of “foreign affairs” America has had | to deal with in many a day. The| State Department is_literally over- whelmed with work. It is required to keep in unbroken telegraphic touch with capitals in every part of the world. The claim of our professional “isolationists” that the United States is “detached” from the universe be- yond our shores was never so hollow as at the present moment. Uncle Sam, as a matter of fact, “en- tangled” abroad in almost every con ceivable direction. Secretary Kellogg | rashington staff and Amer- | and ministers in | nd South America are Europe, i st diplomatic all immer: S| Summer of r 1 sts in any of our though east, we! south, there are spo ecretary Kellogg cause for one in Washington ance, what is going to come out of France during the next s or weeks. European diplo- ationed here now believe the financial situation at Paris to be grave in the extreme, with neither Briand nor Herriot ctions apparent- Iy capable of restoring economic | order. Aut ities here would not be surprised if “Mussoliniism” in some ! form were to emerge in France as the only solution. While the existing | political jockeying rages on the Seine | all hope of ratification of the Mellon- Berenger debt settlement must be | banished. Ambassador Herrick is in constant touch with Secretary Kel- | logg on_Parisian developments. Sec- | retary Mellon will arrive in Europe | at the week end, and his Treasury sub- ordinates expect important advices from him before many days are past. | Mexican Problem Unsettled. 1 Mexico, President Coolidge will| learn from his foreign minister, re- mains in most unsatisfactory condi tion, as far as adjustment of outstand- ing differences with the.United States | is concerned. The claims commis- sions continue to function, but the Calles government is obdurate on the basic demandsregarding interpretation | of Mxican land Jaws which this go rnment has put forth and resolutel sustains. Mr. Kellogg is not exactly hepeless about Mexico, but ‘frankly cannot understand why she declines | v accede to just and reasonable re- | quirements. | From China the State Department | receives information that the powers’ | attempts to achieve results in customs- | tariff and extra-territoriality matters | are progressing, but fina is afar | off. China has appointed new dele- | ates to continue the tariff megoti: s with Mr. MacMurray, America ster, and other for Silas H. Strawn of Ch | can spokesman in the extra-territorial- ity negotiations, has finished his work | and expects to return to the United | States in the Fall, after completing | his report. The State Department has made little real headway in securing assent | from League of Nations members to the Senate reservations accompanying our entry into the World Court. Many nations have replied. But Secretary Xelloge is mow convinced there will be no real action, favorable or other- wise, until league members hold their mext assembly meeting at Geneva in | September. It is alreadyy apparent | that American expectations%about the promptness with which we would be welcomed into the court, reservations or no reservations, were a species of grevious misapprehension. The’ league is plainly determined to examine the reservations very carefully. Disarmament Prospects Bright. President Coolldge will learn from Secretary Kellogg that disarmament prospects remain bright. Our Geneva | delegation is stiil on the job, confer- and almost constantly resh instructions from Wash- that the State De- partment, aggrieved at lack of prog- ress, was withdrawing the the dele- gation are utterly unfounded. = Secre- tary Kellogg continues confidént that sooner or later—probably later—some- thing worthwhile will emerge from the Geneva conversations. The State Department has two im- portant treaty negotiations on hand. With Panama we are discussing a pact which is to regulate afresh our relations with the isthmian country, including commercial, military and s, The negotiations ‘are snags. With | foreign and partic that give anxiet, Spain we are discu mercial treaty. With Great Britain we have still 10 come to an arrangement covering claims for damages to American owners of ships and cargoes seized by the British navy before we entered ihe war, Gen. Andrews’ liguor-smug- gling negotiations at London are also | 2 major State Department issue of | the moment. Tacna-Arica Issue Open. Tacna-Arica is an ever-pressing | thorn in the side of American diplo- | y.* In o way, it became a closed | nt when the 1 er resolution | end to the holding of 2| plebiscite. But the | a’s good offices to set squabble still hol Coolidge Kellogg have not diminished America’s | desire to 1 about the burying of the Tac! hatchet. On that | score, however, there is more good | will than real confidence. Nicaragua is another proposition to which the State Depart- ment has to give thought. President | Chamorra of that turbulent Cent American state, is still asking for sat- | fstaction for the alleged ‘“meddiing” | of our charge d'affaires in try’s Internal polities. | All this—and more—is why Frafik B. Kellogg is enjoying a working holi- | day this torrid Summer on the Po- | tomac. F. W.

St HOUSEKEEPER SEEKS $5,000 FOR SERVICES Sues Estate of W. W. Davis, Al- leging Failure to Get House in Payment. Carrie Jackson wants $5,000 for her services as housekeeper and nurse to William W. Davis, who died October 8 last, and yesterday filed suit for that amount against his executor, the ‘Washington Loan and Trust Company. According }J\ the declaration filed through Attbrney Foster Wood, Mr. Davis agreed with the plaintiff that he would recompense her for her services v leaving her a house in his will. Re- ing on this agreement, she says, she entered upon the discharge of her duties June 10, 1915, and served until September 30, 1919, when Davis dis- pensed with her services. by getting married. When he failed to leave her the property at his death she clalmed the value of her services should be paid to her. Suit to recover $25,000 damages for alleged personal injuries was filed by Amiel Saul, 18 years old, against the District of Columbia Paper Manufac- turing Co. He says he suffered an injury to his right hand which was caught in a paper-rolling machine November 19 last. Two fingers and a portion of a third finger had to be amputated, he tells the court. At- torney Harry P. McKenna appears for the boy. Alleged breach of contract forms the basis of a suit to recover $9,261.55 tiled by Frank D. Phillips against the Hamilton Construction Company and ‘William A. Shenton. Phillips claims that June 18 last the defendants agreed to build & number of houses and to pay him for supervising their construction. After he had prepared plans, obtained bids and contracts the defendants abandoned the proposition. “9 ::1 represented by Attorney Foster o McCARL DENIES CLAIM IN AIRPLANE CONTRACTS Final Decision Refuses Glenn L. Martin Company $57,798.78 It Sought. Controller General McCarl has ren- dered final decision agalnst the Glenn L. Martin Company denying them a total of $57,798.78, which they claimed was due them from the Government on account of contracts for the con- struction of airplanes and royalties. Tn a long decision concerning the legal points involved, the controller points out that the Government con- tributed “‘the major portion of any design or structural detail.” Concerning the royalties, the con- troller’s decision declared that “there is not disclawed any evidence of an independent contribution by the claimant, of such distinctly different design or structure, over contract re- quirements, as would constitute an adequate continuing consideration to support a contractural obligation on the part of the Government to pay an assessment in the nature of a royalty upon any additional planes it may el:r;h;equently have manufactured by others.” England Bans U.

Col. Beil sald today that the com- mission {s open to m(g:filolu as to how a merger could be brought about through legislation, but that thus far no one has suggested a more likely measure thar the one previously ad- vocated by the Commissioners, which sought to accomplish the desired end by increased taxation for the com- panies as long as they remain sep- arate. This plan of legisiation would re- move the additinal tax levy whenever the companies consolidated and 2s a further encouragement toward merger would relieve the companies of the responsibility of paying salaries of crossing policemen following a merger. Col. Bell satd that if any more ef- fective legislative proposal is advanced the commission will gladly consider it. Although the commission has sev- eral months in which to prepare the bill, officials are already giving it much consideration. It was indicated today that members of the commission do not know of any prospects for & voluntary merger agreement between the companies at this time.
