TRepubIican A. p. Leased wlre1

MARION, Ohio. July 1s.-A bill of particulars, detailing the foreign pol icy now proposed by the Democratic party, was called for today by Warren c. Harding. the Republican nominee for president.
 In a broadside of pointed interroga- tories, the candidate challenged his Democratic opponent, Governor Cox, 10 say categorica1ly where he stood on article 10, the Armenian mandate and the other problems wrapped up in American participation in the league of nations.
 Senator Harding's statement was written while the Washington confer ence was in progress. It follows in full:
 Says "Accords Means Wilson Rule.
 The president and the Democratic nominee for his successor are in con ference today and at the conclusion it will inevitably be announced that they found themselves in complete accord, that harmony reigns, and unity is es- tablished in the Democratic party. The significance of that announcement will not be missed There is just one way that one can establish accord between himself and the president-that is by yielding his own opinion at every point to that of the president. When the nominee establishes accord with the president, it means that the latter is in charge of the campaign and will be the real force in the next administra- ton, if it Democratic.
 Therefore, in connection with the announcement of harmony between the president and the Democratic nomInee it will be pertinent to inquire the basis of the agreement.
 "The country is very anxious to know if an unqualified acceptance of the league of nations program is agreed upon.
 Second. has Governor Cox pledged himself to ratification of the treaty and league without essential modifica- tions?
 Third, has article 10 been accepted? :? It has been repeatedly declared that and that to cut it out would break the heart of the world Is the Democratic ticket still for article 107
 Must Underwrite Foreign Policies.
 Fourth. the president naturally has stipulated that Governor Cox must as sume underwrite and liquidate all the international commitments in which the present administration has in volved itself and the nation The president could not possibly demand less. A Democratic successor could not possibly grant less. because he stands on a platform that makes the same guarantees.
 sIt becomes therefore, timely to ask: What are the various, mysterious, un- certain obligations to which the presi- dent has committed us?' Somebody must tell us. because the people are wanting to know.
 Has Governor Cox undertaken, ir case he is elected, to renew the demand that this country take a mandate over Armenia
 Has he undertaken to maintain the administration policy in the Adriatic where we have well nigh forfeited the friendship of the great Italian people brought Italy to the verge of revolution and almost wrecked the establishment o< peace2
 that Thrace shall be joined to Bulga' ria. instead of to Greece. regardless O. the wishes of the Thracians. the Greek. and our allies?
 Broadly, has the nominee takeT over the various and unknown com mittments of the present administra tion's foreign policy in order to estab fish harmony between the presiden and himself2'
 Says Nation Awaits Answer.
 ITO these questions the American people are entitled to an answer. The! will insist on knowing what they ar assuming.
 ssIt is perfectly apparent that Presi dent Wilson's foreign policy involve the need of a great army and nav, equal to Britain's. It also demande creation Of regular army twice large as we ever had in peace.
 What did the president want O these vast armaments unless to figh with them? Governor Cox will knoN now. for he is in complete accord wit the president.
 Ut is earnestly to be hoped that Gov ernor Cox will frankly and prompt answer these questions because tn Republican party wants the countr 10 know it rejects all these i'll consid cred commitments and pledges it's ad ministration against them"
