Placed at $2000.
Booths whern Christmas seals will
bo sold will be established ut vari-
ous points In tho business district
noma time this week H. F. Allen
president of tho Grady County Pub-
lic Health association announced
Tfceddny.
Committees of women actively In-
terested In tho health of tho Grady
county school children have Ju.t com-
pleted a canvass of the business sec-
tion in tho Interest of the sulo of
heulth bonds. Results of tho sale of
these bonds were most Butii.factory
Mr. Allen declared.
Because they are popular for use
in decorating Clirlntmas packages
Mr. Allen believes that the Christ-
mas neals will be In demand here
and that a largo volume of the
stamps will be sold at tho booths.
Price of the stamps Is one cent wh.
M. Allen announced Tuesday that
if as much as $2000 is raised by the
sale of Christmas seals and tho
health bonds in the county i5 per
cent of the amount can bo retained
and only 5 per tent will go to the
state and national associations. This
would make possible the employment
of a public health nurse to devote
her entire time to the upbuilding of
tlie health of the county's children
he said.
Commentli on tho possibility of
securing the services of a public
heulth nurse Mr. Allen said: "I think
the employment of a public health
nurse would be of. untold benefit to
the county. It would enable us to
more ably carry out the health Im-
provement program and to do even
more extensivo work. As head of the
county public health association I
shall spare no energy lu attempting
to reach tho goal which would enable
us to employ a public health nurse."
If less than $2000 is raised from
the sale of the bonds and Bonis one-
half of the amount will be retained
by the tirady County Public Health
association to finance the work in
this county alone and ono-half will go
to the state association of. which
the county association is a1 unit.

Clemenceau's Visit Here Has Bearing
on Developments; Developments
Are Being Watched as Lon-

By A. L. PltAHFOIil)
(1'nlted Press Staff Correspondent.)
(Copyright 122. by 1 niled Pres.'.)
WaMilngton pet:. i:!. Tim sctioin
F.uropean sltu.itlnn Is now c'ur"lv
before thn I tilted Slates govornmi lit.
It has been placed there within tho
last twenty-four hours by diplomatic
representatives of the allies nnd for-
mally mho. by Informing this r."V-
eminent as to the latest Euripe.in
developments are Inviting tho United
Rates to make any move that it
deems wise.
Georges Clemenceau who rami
hero to bring America back t.j Lu-
rope sails for his "La Belle Fiance''
today with tho knowledge tint I hi
American government Is st .dyln;;
the question as to wmi". it can do to
save or relieve the plight of Kurap.
The l ulled States Is not appmatNii.ig
tho problem as the Tiger reailv
wishes.
But his visit which turned the
thoughts of tho American ptib'le lo
foreign affairs for a time at l.nnt
and the failu-e of the lmdon confer-
ence of European premiers which
may prove the climax of the frantic
efforts of the old rorld rtutesmen to
prevent a final crash in Europe
have forced tho European problem to
tho fore In Washington. These are
the facts that make up the present
significant situation:
1. Immediately upon the downfall
of the London conference (Ireat Bri-
tain through Ambassador Geddes
here who was acting on instructions
from Ijondon laid tin whole tiuestiou
before the American government.
2. Following the conference be-
tween Geddes and Secretary of State
Hughes the I'nited Press learned that
Hughes also has just been informed
by the (lernian government of Its lat-
est reparations proposals to Premier
Bonar Law of (ireat Britain which
tho allies virtually rejected. This
notification to Hughes of the (ierman
proposals was in line with the policy
of Berlin in recently Informing the
United S'utes of all important devel-
opments n the European economic
situution and also by inference is a
sort of appeal to this government
to dp whatover it can. In view of
tho collapse of the London confer-
ence and tho threatened occupation
of the Ruhr by France a formul ap-
peal to the United States may soon
come from Germany.
3. The White House has lot If. be
known t hat the American govern-
ment" Is active in trying to bring
about an adjustment of the Euro-
pean problem although tho adminis-
tration spokesman declares that it
is impossible for the present to re-
veal the exact details of what is
being done.
4. Secretary Hughes is known to
be following the whole situation most
closely and to be prepared to act if
the circumstances warrant.
The discussions and deliberations
of the United States government on
the European questions are not the
direct result of the campaign in
America by Clemenceau and these
conversations really Btarted before
Clemenceau came to this country.
Washington holds that Clemenceau
has been advocating and supporting
the very policies of France that are
largely responsible for the present
plight of Europe but this govern-
ment Is trying to find a way to help
Europe and in that respect tho Tiger
can go buck to his "little cottage by
the sea" a happy man.
Paris Dec. 13. Washington dis-
patches stating the cabinet had dis-
cussed the European situation result-
ed in widespread reports here today
that America is contemplating inter-
vention. The semi-official reaction Is as
follows: '
"If the United States manifests its
precise intentions all right. But It
must not bo negative as heretofore.
If it brings some positive element
for solution of Europe's problems it
would be Interesting but It must
be remembered that speed is neces-
sary In the present crisis."

By LAURENCE M. BENEDICT.
(United Press Stuff Correspondent.!
Washington Pec. 13. Frank ad-
mlssio nthat tho full power of the
American Federation of Labor has
In en thrown Into tho attempt to im-
peach Attorney Ceneral p-iughcrty
was made before tho house judiciary
rommilten today by Samuel (lump
ers president of Ihn Federation.
Tho grizzled labor official said
tho American Federation Is Inter-
ested In "three phases" of tho im-
peachment proceedings. Ho was
mt permitted to Buy what tho
phases wero.
Foi mer Congressman Paul How-
land of Cleveland counsel for
Paugheiiy attempted to grt (lump
ers to say that the labor federation
wus tho original "moving spirit" bo-
hind tho impeachment resolution In-
troduced last September by Repre-
sentative Keller republican of Min
nesota.
"You're off on tho wrong foot
thero" said Gompers. "I didn't
know tho Impeachment hud been
launched until I read of it In tbo
newspnpers."
Compels testlflod thnt lio retained
Attorney Jackson Ralston to aid
Representative Keller upon Instruc-
tions lrom the executive council of
the American Federation of Lubor.
Gompers wag on tho stand relat-
ing how ho protested to Attorney
General Daugherty in 1!'21 against
Iho appointment of Win. J. Burns as
head of the fudcr&l biireati ot in-
vtstigation. Burns "fitness" is under exami-
nation in connection with the Keller
charge that Daugherty appointed
''unworthy" men to high office.
Gompers admitted under examina-
tion that he had fought Burns for
years. .
"Mr. Burns was ono of tho Inves-
tigators in tho case of tho McNo-
mara brothers In California wasn't
he?" asked 1 lowland.
"lie was" replied Gompers.
"You wero interested in tVoso
bombers and tried to got them off"
said Howland.
"I believe tho men innocent" de-
clared Gompers "but my only inter-
est was in seeing tho men got a
fair trial."-
Former Attorney General Wicker-
sham took tho stand and testified
that tho letter ho wroto to former
President Taft in 1912 denouncing
Burns as a jury fixer In an Oregon
land fraud case was based on a
careful examination of tho facts.
(n Tie United Prom.)
Washington Dec. 13. Hearings in
the Daugherty impeachment proceed-
ings were resumed today with for-
mer Attorney General Wickers'uain
and President Samuel Gompers of
tho American Federation of Labor
scheduled as "star witnesses."
Wickersham is the "triumph card"
of Representative Keller of Minne-
sota author of the impeachment
resolution who charges that in the
person of Wm. J. Burns chief of the
Federal Bureau of Investigation
Daugherty "knowingly and wilfully"
appointed a man "unfit" to hold a
position of trust. Wickersham's let-
tor to foi mer President Taft in 1912
denouncing .Burns for alleged "jury
fixing" in an 'Oregon land frajid
case was read before the house
judiciary committee yesterday. To-
day the former attorney general will
be asked to give personal testimoi:;
in the matter.
Gompers Is called by Representa-
tive Keller to testify that he called
the record In the Oregon jury to
Daugherty's attention in 1921 and
urged him not to appoint Burns.
The labor chief's appearance may
be the signal for an explosion in
the judiciary committee. Regarding
the labor federations es the "real
force" behind the impeachment
several republican members includ-
ing Yates of Illinois and Graham
of Pennsylvania have served notico
that they will insist that Gompers'
testimony be confined strictly to
legal lines.
"Gompers probably will attempt to
make a political speech" declared
Representative Yates "and if he
does I for one will not stand for
it."
