Reykjavik, Iceland," Aug. 22 (By ihe Associated Press) The radio station here, up to 8:30 o'clock tonight, had received no news from Greenland of the aviators since early morning.

Therefore it is still with out word of the missing Italian Lieut. Locatelli. Lieut. Clarence Crumrine of the American Air Service is not anxious about Locatelli. He believes that he landed In a fjord between Frederiks dal and Ivlgtut, awaiting more favorable conditions.

The weather forecast here indi cates fog on the west coastof Greenland.

Locatelli, the Italian aviator who flew his plane with the American world filers in the hop Crom Reykjavik to Greenland and who has 'been reported as missing, a semi-official statement today declared that the Government had taken every care for the or ganization of the Locatelli trip quite independent of the American plans for the Army airmen. At each stage of his flight, lt was stated. Locatelli had found supplies which had been transported by a steamer chartered especially for the purpose by the Itallun Government.

To the northward the cruiser Raleigh engaged in a similar search.

It is the intention of the Raleigh to use airplanes when fog conditions permit. From tho Harry's bridge Cape Farewell presented a most forbidding spectacle, huge mountains, scores of towering peaks, with innumerable needle points and finger-like spires, and in tho foreground a wide girdle of ice, from which great bergs uoodout, glistened in the sunshine.

Thousands find many valuable minutes saved, much time and worry spared them every month by "Charge it." There's a real reason for "Charge it." "Charge it" is a service entirely for your convenience. So are the 18 A.

S. Elevators the Escalators the new flooring and fixtures the great A. S. Delivery Fleet of over 160 vehicles and the many other services Brooklyn enjoys at A. S.

"We have no right to succeed as a Store unless we are of service to the community." That is the whole answer. We are striving to give Brooklyn every possible service. People sometimes' ask especially out-of-towners "Is there any expense to 'Charge it'?" Emphatically no. During the war many cities attempted to curtail what some called unnecessary services by fixing a small sum for the privilege of a charge account. This move met with no sue-less whatever.

It was proved that services such as these are absolutely necessary in a modern communityand, what is more important, they, pay for themselves. There wag a time when some merchants could not decide even whether advertising paid. But years have brought us the knowledge that additional selling expense is wise if the total volume of sales becomes-great enough. And there ycu have it Every person in business knows this. Services such as "Charge it" increase our volume of business.

Volume is what counts. It means increased turnover, decreasing our percentage of overhead cost thereby allowing us to sell at lower prices. Out in the markets of the world the purchaser asking the largest amount of goods can command the lowest prices. That is why "Charge it" at A. S.

proves its worth. great volume of sales (the largest in all Brooklyn) nukes possible our greMr purchasing power and still lower prices for Brooklyn. Every year there comes to the piers cf Brooklyn foreign merchandise totaling one and a half billions of dollars. Does Brooklyn pay for this merchandise down at the waterfront in coins and bills, as our ancestors did hundreds of years ago? There isn't that much money in all the banks and banking resources of Brooklyn. Today the world's business is done by banks, credits, checks and charges.

The Charge Account is the product of civilization today. And A. S. welcomes Brooklyn and all New York to avail themselves of this convenience. You will see an office as you leave the elevator on the A.

S. third floor headed "Accounts Department." There you can sit for a minute or two while the man at the desk fills in a routine form. With the completion of a few regular details the privilege and convenience of "Charge it" will be yours. And with this time and labor saving "Charge Coin" you still are assured that prices at A. S.

service or no service are always the lowest possible. Ota A. 4 S. oa Following Fi Premier Excoriates Critics of America and the Allies in Chamber Speech Says London Conference Marks Epochal Date in History. Paris, Aug.

it, (By the Associated Premier Herrlot Interrupted a three days' debate In the Chamber of Deputies over the approval of the Dawes plan tonight and turned on )ilS critics, who had been assailing "American greed" and "British Imperialism" and lauding Fotncare's policy. The French Premier presented again his defense of the agreement reached at the London International Conference as the best possible under the circumstances. His first applause came from the entire Chamber when he said: "la the new functioning of the Reparation Commission we put in en American. We put in an American everywhere we could In the committees operating under the lawes plan a neutral, yes indeed a neutral, one or neutrals wno, when the war was half over, cainu and joined us because we had the right on our side." The Premier, excoriating the critics of America aud the Allies, declared that "the material and moral forces of the Americans, their sense cf right and Justice, will assure l'rence obtaining her due. The London Conference marks an epochal date in (he history of the reparation question." "I did all 1 could at London, even rupporting a thesis In which I did not the Premier continued.

but you also would have revolted and recognized that it was impos sible to bargain In a question that was simply a matter of what was Tight." No Rancor If Defeated, At one point in his speech M. Her-riot shouted "You are going to Judge mo. I will have no rancor If you judge unfavorably." Marshal Foch became an Issue for moment when Deputy Schmidt averred that the Marshal had said publicly: "The policy of isolation is detestable." The Deputy added that Marshall Foch had always favored M. Herriot's views. But the Premier quickly Interrupted with: "Foch is too glorious a soldier to be dragged into this.

The Government ill bear the responsibility." M. Herriot's most striking com fuents on the Dawe plan in his speech today include the following: "The only way to halt the exodus or uerman capital abroad is to reestablish the stability of German money. No law can make the re turn of capital obligatory; there fore the only way to realise the con unions 01 ine Bfconu exoerta cuni- mlttee is to put. the report of the first Dawes Committee Into opera- tlon. "Wn rlAmntiit vAntnn1 rnllnnHvn uctlon by tho Allies in the case of Germany defying the Dawes plan, hut we intend to maintain the pos sibility of prances Isolated action In case her Interests, or to safe guard our rights, oblige us to resort to such action.

1 "We have Introduced an American citizen into the Reparation Commission. But is that not elementary prudence if we wish to achieve the large operation that tho Dawes plan represents? That citi zta must be authorized by his Gov ernment. Thus, if German failures occur, they will occur under his control and he will then bring us great material ond moral force. Scores Dawes Critics. "The critics of the Dawes plan say that we are going to give money to Germany.

Certainly the eum of SOO.000,000 gold marks will enable her to stabilize her money, but also Immediately to begin payment to the Allies. "The Dawes plan brings us considerable advantages for deliveries in kind. "It is not making a present to Germany to impose a body of controllers upon her. "The Dawes operation in order to succeed must be understood and encouraged in tho spirit in which tht. Americans conceived It.

They have thus aided us in getting out of an incontestable economic chaos, after having aided us to win the war. "The Dawes plan is founded on Justice, and the German workmen will benefit thereby, because their interests are tied to stability." An Insinuation by M. Relhel that high finance had exercised too much Influence at the London Conference was promptly replied to by Premier Herrlot. He referred to the Morgan loan to France of a hundred million dollar credit which saved the franc from a' crash last March. The Premier reminded the opposition that the Poincare government, Jn order to obtain the Morgan credit, obligated Itself to spend nothing ox-rept out of receipts, not even for reconstruction.

The Premier added: "I went to the fnited States last year and in liberal circles, among church people, in universities among all these good people who aided us during the war I found the belief that France had the right, to be paid. But I could see that the quostion of taking over territory disturbed them, and with what anguish they aRked when France would leave the Ruhr." Hulir Dominates Debate. The Ruhr dominated the day's debate, just as the Premier said it hung like a pall over the London conference. The pros and cons of M. Poincare's policy were argued all over, with scant attention to the real Continued on Page 4.

The first mention of the Klan was greeted by cheers and laughter and more cheers came when he referred sarcastically to William R.

Pattan-rrall, Democratic nominee for Governor of Maine, who is running as nn antl-Klan candidate. Tracing tho growth of the Klan in Oklahoma, Mr. Dawes declared the Klan had grown in that State under Governor Walton's administration, and it was cheered by some ofthe audience, a portion of which was plainly looking for anything favorable to the Klan. Had Klan Audience. Declaration of opposition to the Klan by the speaker was cheered by many, but almost an equal number were juat aa silent.

The audience was divided as to its sentiments on the Klan question, but the speaker, perceiving the lack of harmony of view, pushed his points home with characteristic vigor. The applause became general, however, when Mr. Dawes began his reply to the notification address of John w.

"That is the issue in this campaign," "Politicians of Maine, look higher than the ground beneath your feet and lift your eyes above petty poll-tics to the flag of your country," he concluded. 11 Text of the Speech, "I first desire to- speak, as Mr. Davis did yesterday, relative to the.

Is attacking the Constitution of the United states. I cannot agree, therefore, with his inference that its discussion diverts attention from those Issues the people must settle in November by their votes.

It only emphasizes the greatest Issue. "The questions of Mr. Pattangall. which appear In' the press this morning, are the familiar trick questions of the ordinary politician. They are not the cause of the statement I am about to make.

"Let me say at once that I recog-nlze that the Ku-Klux Klan In many localities and among many people represents only an instinctive groping for leadership, moving in the interest of law enforcement, which they do not find In many cowardly politicians and officeholders. But it Is not the right way to forward law enforcement. Cites Case of Oklahoma. "Let us consider for a minute what happened in the State of Oklahoma. Governor Walton was some time ago elected Governor of the State.

In his camnaiirn he hurt m.t preached the doctrine, so it seemed i to me at least, which was the proper one to be preached under the Amer- 1 ican flag. When he was elected one i of his early acts was to remove the president of Ihe Universttv of Okla- noma, a man who believed In the old-fashioned doctrines of the Con- stitution. to establish which our for- I bears fought. He placed in that posl. (ion a Socialist who was likely to I teach the young men of Hint State some 'new-fashioned doctrines: wnicn, 10 say ma least, are not thoso of constitutional Americanism.

Ho then loosed upon the State of Oklahoma a horde of hardenea criminals from the penitentiary. Lax law enforcement prevailed In many places in the State. "If there could be an excuse tnr law-abiding citizens to band them- selves logetncr in secret organizations for law enforcement, it existed in Oklahoma, and the Klan became a powerful organization: Civil War Barely Acrtcd. "What happened then? Then b.n stepped Governor Walton to titel American flag to which, it seems to me, he had not kept very close up to that time and called out the militia of the State. Then It was; that those who had Joined the Klan i In the Interest of law and order found themselves arrayed against 1 their flag and the laws of Oklahoma.

A situation akin to that of the Civil War existed and it was averted onlv by a few clear-headed men, "And then what happened? There was the application of the 'onlyi method by which our people can properly settle such differences the procedure outlined by the Consti- tutlon and laws of the State of ok- lahoma. Walton was removed, from the Governorship by the vote of the people and qule, was restored under the orderly process provided by the Constitution and the law. "Consider what happened in Wil liamson County. whsre the town of Herrin is situated. A reign of lawlessness existed.
