LOWELL ANSWERS
 SENATOR b0RAH Says People Will Not Mis- take Shortsightedness
 for Patriotism

Boston. September 30.-President A. Lawrence Lowell, of Harvard Univer- sity, today issued statement in reply to remarks by Senator Borah in the Senate yesterday. Senator Borah, criti- cising the league of nations, said the views of President Lowell were not calculated to arouse enthusiasm for American traditions and American his- tory and that the Harvard presi- dent held in contempt Washington's farewell address.
 President Lowell in his statement said:
 T yield neither to Senator Borah nor to any other man in admiration of the farewell address, and of the great fathers of the republic; but I would not use them as cover for present party politics Never did I sheer at the fare- well address: but I believe that the greatness of Washington was due to hls looking the facts of his day in the face and determining his conduct there by, instead of by utterances. however wise, or hundred and fifty years be- fore. will trust the American peonle not to mistake short sightedness for patriotism or narrowmindness for love of country"

P. c. Harding governor of the federal reserve board, in an address before the convention of the American Bankers association here to- day.
 Causes of the labor trouble, MT. Hard- ,nr asserted, are directly traceable to the great war, to it's waste and destruction. to its heavy drain upon available sup r,Iies that constituted so large part of the worlds wealth and to financial ex' ped{ents which he said were necessary to obtain these supplies.
 The speaker expressed the view that credit expansion. rather than currency inflation. is responsible for prevalent eco homie troubles. 1 z

Washington. September so-Presi- dent Wilson, whose illness took turn for the better yesterday. continued to improve today under the rest cure prescribed by his physician
 After the first good nights rest he has had since he was taken i'll, the President was up most of the day and was permitted by Dr. Grayson to give his attention for short while to pressing executive matters. He signed several minor bills and resolutions, sent some nominations to the senate, and dictated few letters
 During the afternoon he took another automobi ride and seemed to enjoy it thoroughly. Accompanied by Mrs. Will son and his daughter, Miss Margaret, he was away from the White House nearly two hours, driving far out into the country.
 As long as good weather continues, it is understood, the automobile ride will be daily feature on the Presidents S rest programme. It has been pre- scribed not only to give him the bene- fit Of the sun and fresh air, it is said, but because 1t aids in overcoming the sleeplessness from which he has suf- fered.
 Dr. Grayson would make no predic- tion today whether the President would be able to take any part in the labor and industrial conference which meets here next Monday. The physicians bull letin memerly said:
 The President had . Eood nights rest and, is improving"
 A bulletin issued tonight at l0;So o'clock at tne White House stated The President spent a fairly com fortable day and is improving"

PUBLIC OWNERSHIP |ON[Y SOLUTION OF
 PROBLEM
By Associated Pres.

Washington. September so.-Partici- patton of the public in the financing and possibly in the ownership of street railroads is the only policy which will bring a restoration of credit and satis- factory conditions in the industry, Homer Loring. chairman Of the trustee board of the Bay State company of Bos- ton. today told the Federal Electric Railways commission. The witness as- serted that rising costs of materials and labor had ruined the financial standing of operating companies.
 with a few exceptions, l doubt IT the companies can get their credit back under private management" he said, "and that is most important argu- ment for public ownership. The public state of mind is such that it means to grant the companies few if any favors. The companies cannot serve the people properly without credit.

 The rest of the treaty programme was an address by Senator Edge, republican of New Jersey. in which he urged repup- licans and democrats alike to hasten it's consideration so that Congress might de- vote it's time and attention to pressing problems at home.

While not onpos;ng the resolution, Senator Hitch cock of Nebraska, leading the admins. tration's fight for ratification of the treaty. charged that it was merely part Of an attempt by republicans to filibuster, which Republican Leader Lodge sharply denied.
 But throughout the whole Dalmatian debate the treaty bobbed up continually, bringing later from Senator Fall the pre- diction that Italy would not dare ap- prove .the Wilson settlement at Plume"
 While leaders generally refrained from nredicting just when the country might expect vote on the Fall amendments, the continuing order before the Senate. there was flutter of excitement today with the suggestion from high repub- lican sources that the vote might be taken during the afternoon.

STRIKE DR|F TING WITHOUT CHANGE 0F IMPORTANCE
Tension Increases in Chicago District, Both Sides Claim ing Gains, But Develop
 ments ShOwNo Change
ey Associated Prs.


 Pittsburg, Pa, September 3o.-The steel workers strike, so far as the Pittsburg district is concerned, drifted along today without noticeable change of importance. The strike zone was quiet The unions claimed they wers holding their men to- gether and were constantly bringing more into their ranks. The steel companies said they were getting more workers into the plants due to the desire of men to work and to the police protection afforded them.
 | There was a belief in some quarters that no break, if any, could be looked for until after the industrial conference at Washington next Monday. The hope was expressed that something tangible would come out of the conference to bring an end to the strike satisfactory to both sides.
 Figures were given out by union leaders for the first time in nearly a week. It was said that approximately 375, 900 steel work CTS were now idle This is an increase ot 600 over the number of men reposted by the strike leaders as idle last week The walk out of steel workers at Bethle- hem and at the Jones and Laughlin plant in Pittsburgh. it was said. was respon- sible for the increase.
 One of the deveicpments of the day that did not satisfy the strike leaders was the decision of the Allegheny county court in uphoiding the action of the mayor of Duquesne in preventing mass meetings in that city. Secretary w. z. Foster of the national committee, and an organizei were arrested two weeks before the strike started while attempting to speak frsr' an automobile in a vacant lot No permit to hold the meting had been asked for and it was admitted by the city that none would have been issued. MT. Foster and the organizer were each fined s100 and the county court today upheld the action of the city authorities. The court held that the right of free speech. sacred though it may be. must yield to the greater one of the safety of the citizens of the commonwealth, their homes and their property
