Marion, Ohio, Dee. 1S.-With his

Stunning more definite form, President

today three conspicuous Democrats
William Jennings Bryan, James w
Gerard and james A. Reed-and asked
their advice and their aid in fashion
ing n program behind which the ma
lions can unite.
All three came as invited guests of
the president-elect, and their consul
~tations with him were surrounded with
an air of warm cordiality. Afterward
Mr.. Bryan, taking the lead in express
ing qualification at the days develop
ments, declared his faith in Mr.. Hard
ing as an honest and conscientious
public servant whom the whole people
would trust.
The former secretary of state an
nounced that he had found himself in
agreement with the p~resident-elect on
fundamentals" and added that he took
n hopeful view of the conferences here
to evolve a plan for world peace.
In the suggestion that the assOcia-
ton of nations plan be Invested of all
partisan color, the president-elect
found himself in perfect accord with
Mr.. Bryan, who made an active fight
TO keep the league issue ont Of the re-
cent campaign, advocating acceptance
of the Republican reservations after
it became apparent that unreserved
ratification was impossible.
1t was not revealed, however, what
part Mr.. Bryan recommended for the
Versailles covenant In the new asso-
citation plan.
II believe that Mr.. Harding is not
only an honest and conscientious man.
said Mr.. Bryan after the conference,
but l believe he is a man whose whole
purpose is to do what he believes is
best for the American people.
1T is not expected, of course, that
everybody will agree as to what is

to do that, and IL that is all of his
purpose. the people will trust him and

The former secretary was a luncheon
guest at the Harding home and Sena-
tor Reed was entertained by the pres
ident-elect and Mrs. Harding at dinner
and remained In conference in Hard

satisfaction at the scope Of the asso-
of nations conferences.

SHOCKS DESTROY LIVES
PEOPLE ARE PANICSTRIckEN
AND FEARS ARE FELT MANY
INJURED UNDER RUINS.

Western Newspaper Union News Service.
Buenos Aires, Dec. 20.-Earthquake
shocks which destroyed several towns
along the Argentine slope of the An
DIES mountains We're the most severe
experienced in this country since 1859,
when half the city of Mendoza was
laid in ruins.
Reports from the area where the
shock was heaviest indicate great loss
of life and property, upwards Of 1D
bodies having already been taken from
the wrecks of buildings.
! At Tresportenas more than 100 per
ished, and at Costa de Araujo 81 were
killed and so seriously injured.
1t is feared hat more victims still
are buried under the ruins in each
town. At Tresportenas, Lavalle and
%Lacentral, not u house was left stand
ing, and those not destroyed were
left in a daily damaged condition. No
estimate of the total number Of per
o n injured has yet been made.
Minor shocks continue throughout
the district, one particularly strong
tremOr being felt in the towns of San
Martin and Rivadavia. The people
are reported as being panic stricken.
The city of Mendoza was shaken but
did not suffer any extensive damage.
In the town OF Costa de AraujO the
seismic CONFUSION opened great crew
ices out Of which hot water Ia spout
ing. The water from one of these gey.
sers reached a height OF about fifteen
feet and formed a pool In which TIVE
persons were drowned.
A Red Cross ambulance reached the
village and set to work to rescue any
sufferers still alive in the ruins.
More than 10000 persons inhabitina
little towns along the eastern Andean
slope, and as reports continue to add
to the long list Of casualties, appre.
hension is felt that the final figures
will be very high.
The earth movement during the
tremor was from northwest to south
east, and a number OF small shocks fol
lowed the principal conclusion, which
lasted thirty seconds.
The latest reports from Mendoza
said that the shock at Tresportenas
had assumed the proportions of 4
catastrophe. Three relief trains have
been rushed to the town, from which
thirty dead and as many dying have
been brought out. AT Costa de Arau-
10. which was virtually isolated, anOth'
er shock of the most violent character
occurred. At La Vale terrible scenes
We're witnessed. The relief work was
most difficult, owing TO the condition
Of the roads, which had been broken
up and covered with water. The
church at La Vale was laid In ruins
and the municipal buildings walls
were cracked.

AUSTRIA IS ADMITTED
AUSTRIA is FIRST ENEMY CoUN-
TRY TO BE ENROLLED MEMBER
F~RENCHMAN OPPOSES EFFORT
TO PRESENT GERMAkY'S
NAME.

Geneva, Dec. 15.-The assembly of
the League of Nations elected the first
former enemy state Il member of the
league without opposition. The vote
on the admission of Austria came aft,
er an unexpected passage of arms be-
tween Gieuseppe Motta Of Switzerland
and NJ. Niviani of France.
NJ. Motta, speaking On the report OF
the committee, recalled the rejection
of Germany's application for admission
by the peace conference.
He said Switzerland has always re-
GREETED it, and that there We're now
three places vacant in the league
which ought to be filled by the United
States. Russia and Germany.
At the mention of Germany, NJ. vi
viani sprang up and asked for the
floor, ana upon the conclusion of NJ.
Motta's speech, in which the Swiss
delegate appealed to the assembly for
justice, NJ. Viviani mounted the trib-
une and launched forth in a fervid de-
Tense OF the French viewpoint.
NhS Spoh apparent lhut IL as
sembly was with him and his remarks
were greeted with frequent applause.
When he descended from the tribune
he received the greatest ovation of the
assembly.
The voting for the admission of Aus
trin, which Immediately followed, was
by IL nominal roll call, the delegates
being asked whether they were in
favor or against admission, some en-
swering in French and others in Eng
lish.
T~hirty-five votes were cast in favor
of Austria's admission, two members
were absent and four abstained from
voting.
China today took rank among the
principal powers directing the affairs
OF the world through its entry into the
council of the League Of Nations in
succession to Greece.
The election of China had been dis
counted largely since the assembly
previously had adopted the recon-
mendution of the committee on organ
ization that another elective member
be allotted TO Asia.
1t was doubtful up 10 the last mo-
ment, however, whether the members
who for the last few days had been
advocating Slav or Scandinavian rep
%resentation would not succeed with
their argument that the Asiatic races
could not expect two places on the
council while two special European
countries were not represented at all.
