Senator Harding's decision that
the existing covenant Of the league
Of nations lacks stability as a
structure for world peace; that al

props Of the Lodge reservations in
capable of making 1t safe, and that
the only course left open would be
to salvage some of the material en-

build anew upon the foundation of
an International court Of justice,
was regarded today by competent
opinion in Washington as having
gone far toward simplifying and
clarifying the issue before the
American people.

which was red and infiamed, and
that all over his face were tiny
round marks about the size OF
the end of an uncut lead pencil.
Also upon both of his patent
leather shoes were a number of
deep imprints shaped like ovals
cut off square at one end.
Now, there is only one district
in New York City where a man is
bound TO receive scars and wounds
and indentations of that sort
and that is along the sidewalks Of

OF Sixth Avenue south of there.

trampling French heels on his feet
and the marks OF countless jabs in
the face from umbrellas and para
soils carried by women in the shop
ping district that he had been in
conflict with the amazonian troops.
And as he was man OF intelligent
appearance, T knew he would not
have braved such dangers unless
he had been dragged thither by
his own women folk. Therefore,
when he got on the car his anger
at the treatment he had received
