Mr. Lloyd George, delivering Judgment for the allies, said they deeply deplored the necessity of the decision While Simons clung to the contention that the Paris demands were impossi-- r ble of fulfillment. The allies regard-- , ed the German course as strategy for delay, and the latest plan as one whereby the treaty would have to be reconsidered and debated after five years, when Germany might hold more"favorable position. Dr. Simons was denied further time in which to consult" the German cabinet. ' France will furnish the bulk of the forces for the new march into Germany.

Mr. Lloyd George informed the' Ger-mans on Monday that not only were the proposals made by Foreign Min- ister Simons that morning unacceptable to the allies, but that, notwithstanding the interval siipie last - weeks conference the Germans had not made such an Sxdvjince in their propositions as would justify postponement of the ' imposition of the penalties. The British premier said he must announce on behalf of the allies a failure to come to even an approximate understanding with the Germans. HARDINGS NOTE STOPS ROW : Costa Rica Announces Withdrawal of T rrfops From Panama. -- Washington. President Hardings firm step in regard to the Panama-Cost- a Rican 'war over their boundary dispute brought quick results .Monday, when the Costa Rica government replied to the note sent Saturday by Secretary of State Hughes, announcing the withdrawal of Costa Rican troops.from Panama territory on the Atlantic side and a decision .that Costa Rican troops on the Paclfiq side would make no advance whatever. .

This action was the fir&fe of the Harding Administration in the realm of foreign affqirs and was said to have been 'based on the ground of broad expediency, as the dispute between the Central American republics-lnvolvedAmerican interests in the v Panaman canal zone. A peaceful solution of the dispute over Coto oh the basis of the White award is understood to have been suggested. The notes did not suggest mediation by the United States, but were understood to have conveyed the impression that this country stood ready to enforce, if necessary, a peaceful solution. , Dispatch of the notes followed conferences between President Harding, Secretary Hughes and Johm W. Weeks and Edwin Denby, new secretaries of war and navy.': Mr. Hughes took up the subject of the dispute with Undersecretary Davis immediately after 'his induction into office and later spent nearly two hours with Mr. Harding.

Killing of bills seems to have been the favorite diversion of members of the house on March 7 tlh.e last day the house could consider Its own measures the session being extended into the night, many measures being futhlessly slaughtered. Killing of bills was not Confined to house measures, for fife senate bills bearing the name of Peters were killed almost instantaneously when a report of the sifting committee recommending such action was adopted. The house rejected Douglas measure proposing tjhat statements, oi manufacturers and merchants of' personal property for taxation purposes he made on a monthly basis and not in ' January, as is now provided. Days bill galling for an Appropriation of $20,000 for artesian water experimentation, the appropriation in which had been reduced, to $10,000, was killed. The lengthy bill of Representative Douglas, proposing a soldier bonus board and a bond issue for bonuses for soldiers, was lost when the enacting clause was stricken. House bill No. 21, by Knight, proposing the creation of a state water storage board and appropriating $2500 to cover the -- expenses of its investigations, had several narrow escapes; from "being chloroformed, but after several amendments it passed, ayes 30, nays 7, absent 10. House bill 130, by Jorgensen, seeking an appropriation of $6388 to reimburse a Jewish agricultural colony on the Piute reservoir project, was v killed. House bill 98, by Day, seeking an appropriation of $5000 for a soil products exposition to be Iheld in Salt Lake, was rejected on the ground of economy. In the senate on March 7 the interesting feature of the session 'was the action on the measure proposing a new form of government for Salt Lake, The bill met defeat. The agricultural bill was passed after Senator Southwick had introduced an amendment making cases rather than causes of infectious disease among livestock subject for investigation under t)h.e duties of the board of agriculture. The Sander joint resolution, proposing a constitutional amendment to permit county treasurers to take office April 1, instead of the first Monday in January, was defeated. Five house bills were returned to the house, and the senate killed as many measures, one of them being a resolution proposing a constitutional amendment. State, county, city and school district boards of finance are provided for under House bill No. 997, by Soderbeg, passed in the house by representatives ' March 5. Washington. Warren G.. IN- ' Harding of Ohio and Calvin Coolidge of Massachusetts were on March 4 inaugurated president and vice president of the United States. Mr. Harding took the oath at 1:18 p. ,m. and Mr. Coolidge at 12 :21 p. m. The ceremonies surrounding the Inauguration of the new president were if anything even more simple than those attending the first inauguration of George Washington. The usual morning salute of naval guns was missing and there was absolutely nothing in the way ofa military or civil procession. The only troops on hand were from squadrons of cavalry assigned by the congressional inaugural committee as an escort for the new president, 500 marines for guard duty at the capitoi and as many regular army infantrymen from Fort Meyer for guard duty f i along the stieets. It was Mr. Harding's wish that all display be eliminated. He said foe de- sired no parade and also asked that the usual inaugural ball be omitted. , Pressing his lips f;o an historic Bibler used at the inauguration of George Washington, the new president took the oath administered by Chief Justice White. He had chosen the eighth verse from the sixth chapter of Micafo, ' ,, sayine: : What dotU. tlie Lord require of jthek but to do justly and to love mercy and to walk humbly with thy God? Before Mr. Harding had been president an hour he had revived a precedent set' by George Washington by conferring with' the senate in executive session, submitting in person the nominations, of liis ten cabinet offi- -' cers. All were immediately confirmed. Within an another hour he had gone to the White House to hang up his hat and go to work. President Wilson, 'yielding to the last minute entreaties of his family and his physicians, took no part in the inaugural ceremonies other than to accompany the incoming president from the White House to the capitoi, where he signed some bills and then went wil:h Mrs. Wilson to the new home which will be theirs in the residential section of the city. Immediately after the administration of the oath, Mr. Harding turned to the vast crowd which stretched across the capitoi plaza and began the delivery of his 'inaugural address. Sound amplifiers carried his voice to the outskirts of the big assembly. Calvin Coolidge was Inaugurated vice president with ceremonies of brief simplicity in the senate chamber, witnessed by a distinguished assemblage of diplomats and high officials. Coolidge, in a short inaugural ad- dress, declared that the greatest function ,of the United States senate is the preservation ot liberty and added that the great object for us to seek here is to continue to make this chamber, as it was Intended by the fathers, the citadel of liberty. . -- For state purposes the goverr, secretary of state and attorney general board of finwould be constituted ance, and this board would have supervision of all funds coming into t the state treasury. WOODROW WILSON For county purposes, boards of commissioners would constitute county the hoard of finance. In municipalities the mayor and city council or commission would be the board of finance. In school districts the board of trustees would constitute such a board. As passed, the bill creates these hoards of finance. Next in importance t the boards of finance measure, the house March 5 passed House bill No. 190, by Parker, which defines imitation milk and regulates its sale and distribution. It differs considerably from the imitation milk hill that was defeated in the senate, and is said to have a good opportunity of passage in the upper house. It so regulates the sale of imitation milk that those who wish t$ use that product may do so but they are to be well informed' as to wliat they are purchasing.. Five house bills and one memorial were signed by the governor on March the most important of 5, probably which was the measure by Mrs. Clegg" prohibiting the teaching of religion in the district schools of the state. The senate on March 5 spent about eight minutes in considering on second reading the Q.iinney bill to establish a stale department of agriculture.
