to make any appreciable percentage of the American people adhere to the theory that the League of Nations would disjoint the constitution of the United States.
 Nevertheless, in the democratic handbook. in course of compilation in Washington, the practical impossibii- ity of the League of Nations taking superior position over the constitution of the United States will be cited in unmistakable terms. Governor Cox, in his acceptance address. declared that every schoolboy knows that the United states could not do anything which the constitution proceeds against This statement in the handbook will be quoted.
 But, for the sake of argument" the book will say. suppose that the League of Nations, the United States being a member. declares war and calls on the United States for its pro rata share of troops.
 The Congress of the United States deciines to enact and promulgate a declaration of war.
 Who in the United States. in vieu of the refusal of Congress to act, would respond?
 If an attempt should be made to of the League Of Nations the "a sse would be carried to the supreme court of the United States.
 The supreme court would decrar re that under the constitution a declara tion of war must proceed from Con- gress and that without such declara ton no American citizen could he forced to fight.

DIR. HOLMES ANALYZES
 HARDING PHYSIOGNOMY

Washington, August 11.--(Special.) ) Science makes prodigious strides. pr. William H. Holmes, one of the head curators of the National Museum expert in physiognomy, has discovered as result of long and profound in quiry that in the production of Warren G. Harding the omnipotent made a combination of George Washington one of the handsome Presidents and Abra- ham Lincoln, certainly the homeless
 man who ever occupied the White House.
 Other scientists of the national capi- tai attribute pr. Holmes additional
 merit because of the fact that, despite the long years in which Senator Hard ing has occupied a prominent part in American politics, no other individual even suspected that in his face both Washington and Lincoln stood out to the gaze Of modern mortals.
 And yet Dr. Holmes easily demon strates his discovery. He declares tha, any one can see George Washington in 4arding's "open brow, the shape of h.s head-even the way his hair grows the bridge of his nose and the express sion of his eyes" As to Lincoln, Dr. Holmes declares he expresses himself in "Harding's rugged jaw and his firm yet sensitive mouth"
 No one questions the skill of Dr
 holmeS- lie mas made lifelong study

 eral monographs on prehistoric man.
 At the same time, 1t is pointed out in
 this city that Senator Harding, in
 claiming the existing of Washing

 brow. mouth and chin, transcends any effort of the late Theodore Roosevelt. who. in his brief span, acquired cer- tain modest reputation for inoffensive egotism. Roosevelt, it is pointed out. admitted that he was the counterpart of the great god Mars, but he claimed no lien on the graceful beauty of face and limb generally accorded to Apollo.
 The discovery of pr. Holmes has filled the hearts of his brother scien- lists. especially those with a strong democratic inclination. with more or less jealous rage. They are already at work on the face of Governor Cox. I. was their firm unofficial conyictio, that two great warriors gazed through the eyes of the democratic nominee. In his ability to discern the hypocrisy ,f the republican senatorial oligarchy, especially respecting the League of Ma ions, and in the apt, diverting phras- 'ology which he employees in exposing it,

felt the soul expression of Genera Lee.
 But this theory was later abandoned Now, however. they are proceeding in belief that if they very carefully and mlnutely study the face and figure of the Ohio governor they will be able to demonstrate that he bears a striking resemblance to Thomas Jefferson and Diogenes. This resemblance, if indi- cated, would appear plausible. For COX, his admirers contend, is the mod : ern-day voice of the democracy of Jef- ferson, and in his perigrinations throughout the strongholds of the re- publican party he has duplicated the failure of the old philosopher who so futilely wasted time in search of an honest man.
 But until the democratic scientists really produce their proof, the laurels must remain in the possession of Dr. Holmes that Washington Lincoln dis covery opens his way to the Hall of Fame.
