Question Open
geply? a8 G>ven ^ut' Says
Wilson and Lansing, at
Sessions Before Final One,
Made Valid Reservations
Will Broach Issue Anew;
Up to Supreme Council;
Bryden and Wallace to
Join Allied Commissions
ftm r*-* Tribune's Washington Buresu
WASHINGTON, Aprli 14.?Accopt
vtt by the French government of the
?imerican principle of equality of
Mghts in mandatory territories, ad?
duced in the Hughes note to the four
*reit powers allied with the United j
States in the war, is s?en in Premier j
Briand's answer, made public to-day by I
?hi State Department.
The reply not only says no binding
lietision can be reached on the status
o? the mandate over Yap until the Al?
lied Supreme Council meets and the
American viewpoint is carefully consid?
ered, but Premier Briand gives assur?
ance that the French representatives
will place before the Council the Yap
ouestion with the "greatest desire to
? nd ? solution which will give every
f?tisfaction to the United States."
The French reply is made more com
- iete?y satisfactory by the statement
tt Premier Briand that, while no spe?
cific reservation on the disposition of
Yap was voiced by the United States at
the Council's meeting of May 7, 1919,
both former President Wilson and for?
mer Secretary of State Lansing had
previously registered categorical reser?
vations concerning the naming of
Japan as mandatary over Yap, and that
Baron Makino, the Japanese represent?
ante, bad raised no objection.
Keen Satisfaction
These two points in the French re?
ply were referred to by officials with
the greatest satisfaction, and, although
it was admitted that the French answer
defers complete settlement of the Yap
oispute to the future meeting of the
Allied ambassadors, sitting as the
Supreme Council, the friendship of
Fnnce at this forthcoming meeting
was assured.
The* reply of the French government
vas handed to American Ambassador
Wallace at Paris April 7 and trans?
mitted at once to the State Depart?
ment Simultaneous publication of the
i;ote was authorized to-day, both in
Washington and Paris.
The text of the reply follows:
"I have the honor to acknowledge
tie receipt of the letter dated the
V.n of this month by which your
tieellency was good enough to trans
?tto me a memorandum from the De
iirtment of State relative to the status
o: the island of Yap.
Since this memorandum was sent
f/aultaneously to the governments of
l?reat Britain, Italy and Japan it can
sot be answered until after an under1
landing has been reached between the
rovernments of the four interested
;owers at the time of the next meeting
of the Supreme Council of the Allies.
"I wish, however, to inform your ex?
cellency at once that when this ques?
tion comes before the Supreme Council
the representatives of France will
broach the examination thereof with
the greatest desire to find a solution
which will give every satisfaction to
the United States.
"As your excellency knows, the gov?
ernment of the republic already has
done all in its power to lend its aid to
the American government in this mat?
ter. By a note dated February 18,
after having noted that the decision of
May 7, 1919, made no reservation con?
cerning the mandate attributed to Japan
over the islands of the Northern Pa?
cific, my department pointed out to
your embassy that nevertheless Presi?
dent Wilson and Mr. Lansing had
formulated in the course of a former
meeting in the presence of bhe repre?
sentative of Japan categorical reserva?
tions concerning the island of Yap, that
Baron Makino had not objected, that
the question raised by the representa?
tives of the United States should be
placed in discussion, and that conse?
quently the Japanese government was
cognizant of the American reserva?
tions. The note concluded that thus
there were elements for a resumption
of conversations between the United
States and Japan which the govern?
ment of the republic would be happy
to see result in a satisfactory con?
clusion.
Communicated to Japan
"This note was communicated on the
fame day to the Embassy of Japan at
Paris and your excellency was good
enough to express to my department
jour great satisfaction at this com?
munication by giving the assurance
that it would be particularly appreci?
ated at Washington. BRIAND."
With the French view officially be?
fore this government, the next move in
advancing the Harding policy of coop?
eration with the Allied governments is
expected to be the designation of
Roland, W. Boyden as the American
representative to sit on the Reparations
Commission. Similarly, instructions
*may soon be dispatched to American

Attempt to Debate Yap
In Parliament Stopped
Lloyd George Cheered When
He Declares Against Creating
Friction With tlnited States
LONDON, April 14.?Several mem?
bers of the House of Commons made
an attempt in the House this after?
noon to precipitate a debate on the
subject of the mandate over the Island
ol Yap and thc American position on
the mandate question. Premier Lloyd
George, however, headed off the effort
with the statement that this subject
was under friendly discussion between
the United States and thc Allied
powers. \
"Nothing could bo gained and much
might bo lost by dragging the con?
troversy into the Parliamentary arena"
..e ?aid. '
At another point, during the after?
noon s proceedings Mr. Lloyd Georjrc
said, amid cheers:
"I am perfectly certain that the last
t.nng the people of this country dosire
is any misunderstanding with the peo?
ple, of the Lnited States, and anything
which will conduce to or provoke a dis?
cussion which might lead to that mis?
understanding would be deprecated bv
every one."
Tokio Editorials on Yap
Urge Conciliatory Stand
Equal Rights for Japan in Pa
cific Islands Suggested, With
Ban on Guam Forts
TOKIO, April 14 (By The Associated
Press).?The newspapers to-day, appre?
ciating the importance of the recent
American note concerning mandates,
continue to print lengthy editorials.
Meantime, it is understood that Japan
is consulting with Great Britain and
France on the subject.
While some o the newspapers coun?
sel in favor of no concessions being
made, leading organs like the Yomiuri,
the Jiji Shimpo and tho Asahi advise
a cone'liatory attitude.
The Yomiuri considers that the
United States is justified at least in
protesting concerning the mandate for
the island of Yap. Should Japan aban?
don the mandate, however, she should
ask the United States to abandon the
fortifying of Guam, it says.
Though it deems the American atti?
tude unreasonable, because, it says, the
treaty was concluded mainly as a re?
sult of the support of the American
plenipotentiaries, the Jiji Shimpo rec?
ommends concessions regarding cable
questions in the Pacific, like those
made by France in the Atlantic.

Arthur Hammerstein
And Wife Separated
Former Claire Nagel, Broad.
?way Favorite, Was Third
Wife of Impresario
Arthur Hammerstein, one of the fore?
most of New York's theatrical produc?
ers, son of the late Oscar Hammerstein,
-*pera impresario, is said to have sep?
arated from his wife, Claire Nagel,
who, at the time of her marriage in
1919, was a member of his "Tumble
In" company, then playing at the Scl
wyn Theater. This was learned
through an admission made last night
by Herbert C. Smyth, attorney, of 67
Exchange Place, who said he had been
retained by Mr. Hammerstein, but re?
fused to discuss the relations between
the manager and his wife.
Neither Mr. nor Mrs. Hammersteir
could be reached at their home in New
York last night, but the producer was
said to have made admissions earliei
in the day that he and Mrs. Hammer?
stein had separated. He refused, how?
ever, to state what action at law was
contemplated by him, but referred in?
quirers to his attorney.
According to stories in circulation
among friends of the Hammersteins
the disagreements between them led tc
a separation six weeks ago, since which
time they have not been seen together
Mrs. Hammorstein is said to be living
in New York while Mr. Hammerstein it
at Lakewood, N. J.
Claire Nagel is Arthur Hammer
stein's third wife. She was twenty-twc
years old at the time of her marriage
and had sung in several widely heraldec
Broadway productions. _ On her mar?
riage to Mr. Hammerstein Miss Nage
forsook the stage for a time, but re?
appeared in the Hammerstein produc
tion of "Tickle Me" at the Selwyn Thea.
ter in 1920. In thc prima donna r?l<
she was programed as Claire Nagel, a.<
previously she had been in the "Zieg

Naw Gunner Gets
Medal for Heroic
Deed 17 Years Ago
Decoration Bestowed by the
President at White House
Ceremony on Rolit. E. Cox
by Special Act of Congress
From The Tribune's Washington Bureau
WASHINGTON, April 14.?For ex?
traordinary heroism seventeen years
ago Gunner Robert Edward Cox, U.
S. N., was decorated to-day with the
Congressional Medal of Honor by
President Harding at the White House.
Cox waited a long time for the
honor, but when it finally did come
it brought with it the added dis?
tinction of being the first Congres?
sional Medal of Honor over pinned on
a man's breast in the White House.
The action for which Cox received
tho medal took place April 13, 1904.
He was on the U. S. S. Missouri at the
timo when an accident took place in
the after turret during maneuvers off
Pensacola, Fla.
He with two companions, M. Mons
sen and S. S. Schepke, then gunner's
mates, but later commissioned, not
only risked their lives in deadly fumes
and blazing powder, but put out a fire
in a powder magazine. On recommen?
dation of the court of inquiry medals
f>f honor were awarded Monsson and
Schepke, but as the law at that time
did not permit the awarding of a medal
of honor to warrant -officers Gunner Cox
did not receive one, despite the recom?
mendation of the captain of the Mis?
souri and the approval of President
Rofsevelt.
All Cox received at the time wns b
congratulatory letter from President
Roosevelt and Secretary of the Navy
Moody.
The Secretary in his letter told Cox
that he had been unanimously recom?
mended for decoration by his captain,
the commander of the North Atlantic
fleet, and the President. The Secre?
tary went on to say that the depart?
ment, though denied by law the privi?
lege of awarding the medal, announced
that "all the distinction that a medal
of honor can convey is yours, by right
of your admirable courage and pres?
ence of mind on this occasion."
Time passed until on February 20,
1920, the facts were laid before Con?
gress end on February 1, 1921, the fol?
lowing act became a law:
"That the President of the United
States be, and is hereby authorized to
award a medal of honor to Chief Gun?
ner Robert E. Cox, U S. N., in recog?
nition of the extraordinary heroism he
! displayed on the occasion of the acci?
dent which occurred in the after tur?
ret of the U. S. S. Missouri April 13,
1904."
And so, seventeen years almost to a
day sin/:e Cox performed his heroic
deed, his country proved to him that
republics are not always ungrateful.
Theodore Roosevelt, jr., as Assistant
Secretary of the Navy, was present to
see the man his father recommended
for a decoration finally receive it.
Secretary of the Navy Denby was
present also, as well as representa?
tives from the Senate and House Naval
committees. Rear Admiral W. S.
Cowles, who commanded the Missouri
when the accident took place, was one
of the first to congratulate Cox after
the medal was '.wprded.
And, last but not least, Monssen and
Schepke, the two who ventured into
the burning powded magazine with
Cox on that eventful day so long ago,
were there, two smart looking lieuten?
ants. Cox himself was no more pleased
at receiving the most highly prized
decoration within the country's gift
than Monssen and Schepke.

Ambassador Guest
Of Italy - America
Society at Dinner
Harding Sends Tribute to
Signor Ricci and His
Government for Progress
in Healing War's Wounds
? Signor Vittorio Rolandi Ricci, Italian
) Ambassador, was the guest of honor
j a*, a dinner tendered him by the Italy
I America Society in the Hotel Astor last
night. More than 500 prominent citi?
zens were present.
Tho dinner was presided over by
Paul D. Cravath, president of the so
J c'ety. Immediately after the dinner,
Mr. Cravath read a message from
? President Harding which sail in part:
"Under present world conditions it
I is becoming that Americans express our
i high regard to Italy and her represcnt
: atives. Wc never can bo without in
| tt-rest in Italy's sp.endid efforts for
reconstruction after a war in which
I she paid dearly and so bravely for her
! noble participation in a groat cause.
ThougJi fslse report has proclaimed
and misrepresented Italy's difficulties,
those who know her and hold affection
for her and for her people remain in
full confidence of her stability, her
future progress and the constancy of
her high aspirations. Like our own,
these aspirations are directed toward
well ordered progress, based upon
material welfare in part, but founded
first of all upon the merit and ?
worth of human character, and aimed
at human achievement."
In his address Ambassador Ricci re?
viewed conditions throughout the
world following the war. j
"Thc war is survived by war-time j
passions," he said, "and prejudices that
are ill adapted to times of peace, and
here and there we behold political .
phenomona, collective and individual, in
marked contrast With what ought to
be the unanimous aspirations of the
civiliz.ed world to-day.
"If in the caso of Russia we must
admit thc utter failure of an infinitely
exaggerated experiment, it is because '
that experiment lacked animating
faith, lacked even a substratum of vivi?
fying hope; it is because its guiding
ph,losophy was clogged by a discourag?
ing and inexorable determinism in ac?
cord with which everything that hap?
pens must be determined by an inflex?
ible authoritative ruling."
| Weeks Opposes Reducing !
Army Below 175,000 i
WASHINGTON, April 14.?Opposi- I
tion to reduction of the regular army
| peace strength below 175.000 enlisted
men was expressed by Secretary Weeks
! to-day at a conference with Congres
! sional leaders. Ho indicated later,
however, that he expected the House to
insist on a further reduction.
Those who participated in to-day's
conference included Major General
March, Chief of Staff; Senators Wads
worth (chairman), Frelinghuysen, New
and Lenroot, of the Senate Military
Committee; Chairman Good of the
House Appropriations Committee and
Representatives Anthony, Slemp and
Cramton, of the sub-committee that
framed the army bill pocket-vetoed by
President Wilson.
Secretary Weeks declared savings
could be effected in other directions so
that it would not increase the bill's
total?-approximately $343,000,000, as
passed last session?to provide for a
force of 175,000 men during the com?
ing fiscal year. Further conferences
will be held.
Representative Anthony said after
the conference he believed the House,
! which voted last session for 150,000
men, but later accepted a Sonate com
. promise of 150,000, would balk at any
i larger figure.
Charges Bryan Ousted
Trained U. S. Diplomats
Henry Lane Wilson Denounce*
Democrats for Giving Posts
to "Pill Doctors"
BALTIMORE, April 14.?The foreign
policy of the WilBon Administration
was assailed by Henry Lane Wilson,
former Ambassador to Mexico, in an
address at the annual meeting of the
National Civil Service Reform League
hero to-day.
Reviewing the advances in the diplo?
matic service made in the Administra?
tions of Presidents McKinley, Roose?
velt and Taft, Mr. Wilson declared I
that the "Wilson and Bryan policies :
checked the development of our for?
eign service."
The policy of the Wilson Adminis- !
tration in Mexico, the former Ambassa- j
dor said, placed our nation in a "false I
and ridiculous position before the '?
woi-ld and aroused the suspicion and
distrust of all Latin America. Under
Mr. Bryan's administration of the
State Department, the most trusted, i
most highly trained, the best informed !
aids in the Department of State were |
relieved of their duties without refer- :
ence to the important business of this i
country, and patent-machine venders,
pill doctors and political lawyers were ?
placed in positions which they had !
not the natural ability nor previous j
training to fill." \
Other speakers were Richard Henry ;
Dana, of Boston, to-day re?lected presi- ;
dent of the league, and Mrs. Helen H.

Disarmament Still an Issue
The disarmament question that also
must be thrashed out with the Allies |
is still under fire here. In the Bava?
rian Landtag Finance Committee ses?
sion yesterday Secretary of State
Schweyer revealed that the Einwoh?
nerwehr (citizen guards) in Bavaria i
now number 320,000 men. The min- ;
ister argued that this army was not |
to be used for foreign operations, and i
therefore constituted no political I
danger. He promised that disarma?
ment eventually would be carried out, j
but insisted that the present was not
the time for such a measure.
Socialist member Timm demanded
immediato disarmament, charging that
the army was being maintained by the
government for use against the work?
ers. Representatives of the German
People's party argued that the need
for such an army had been apparent
in the recent Communist uprisings
and that the Allies should be brought
to realize this. The reactionaries
have taken to this argument in, great
numbers, feeling that the preservation
of order in Germany and the defense
of the country against Bolshevism
rest upon them.

Former Governor Suggested as
Compromise Between Mc

From The Tribune's Washington Bureau
WASHINGTON, April 14.?Candi?
dates for the post of Commissioner of
Internal Revenue are "closing in" on
the White House these days. Sup?
porters of Joseph McDermott, of Mor
gantown, W. Va., and Colonel Edward
Clifford, of Chicago, the leading can?
didates, called on the President tq-day.
Pressure was brought to bear al?* in
behalf of former Governor Hoope? of
Tennessee, who is mentioned l* a
compromise candidate.
McDermott and Clifford appear to
have an even chance. t The former is
backed by Senator Davis Elkins and
the entire West Virginia delegation.
Clifford is equally strong with the
Illinois delegation. Indications are
that the President will fill the post
this week.
In the list of recess appointments
sent to the Senate to-day were the
names of Colonel George Harvey and
Myron T. Herrick as ambassadors to
England and France, respectively. The
names were referred to committee and
will undoubtedly be confirmed within
a few days. A number of other dip?
lomatic appointments are looked for
within a few days, as well as appoint?
ments to the Railway Labor Board und
the Shipping Board.
The name of James A. Farrell is
mentioned in many quarters as most
likely choice for chairman of the Ship?
ping Board, though no indication of his
being chosen has emanated from the
White House.

Rohrbach, wife of the chief of polit

claimed.
Chief Rohrbach, who had Just ir

elry, was equally amazed to discover
that the package contained Mrs.
Shlarew's brooch and rings. The b?y
who delivered it said, a stranger had
instructed him to do so.
