PLEADS FOR CLOSER
RELATIONS WITH U. S.
Bernstorff Suggests Cooperation
of America and Germany
in Russia.

by Associated Press to Every Evening
Berlin, July 81 l.-"All our efforts should
be directed toward making our business
relations with the United States clcscst
possible pleads Count Won Bernstorff
former German ambassador to the United
States IN a new periodical called ''Getreue
Eckart"
He declares that Germany must ex-
poet nothing from America politically,
"as the Americans are tired from human
itarian standpoint" This. he says, is
explainable by the fact that the war proved
q disappointment for the United States.
He SAYS that the HanscatiCs. who al
WAYS were able To get on with the Amcrl-
cans have succeeded III securing Ameri-
can assistance to rebuild Germany s
mercantile fleet and he believes this may
develop into some arrangement to OBJ
tain raw material.
After emphasizing the necessity for
the Germans to work hard at reconstruc-
ton, as they could only pay their debts
by labor, he foreshadows the possibility
that American capital and German labor
may work together in Russia As the
Americans have but little experience in
Russian conditions, he SAYS they might he

NOT UNIVERSALLY AGREED.

Lovely woman, however chic her bath
ing attire, is not lovely when she rises
from the sea, states Iady's Pictorial
apropos OF recent English discussion.
Though she may escape draggled hair by
means of waterproof and gay caps, yet she
cannot avoid eyes and nose Redeemed with
sea water, and let her form be as a nymph's
still she will emerge In ungainly postures.
OF course, if one only sits on the marge
dabbling like baby in an inch or SO of the
'briny', one may escape Disagreement.
But this is not sea bathing. No man, am
sure, ever fell in love with girl who has
been swimming in the sea. 1t is form of
exercise that must make fer ugliness.
Quoi faire, you ask? Well, take your dip,
fair lady, early in the morning, wear your
smart gown for sun bath, and you will
offend no eyes. From an aesthetic point of
view bathing, like drinks, ought never to
be mixed.

.HARD|NG'S SPEECH WILL
ATTACK FOREIGN POLICY
c.. o. p. Nominee Expected to
Give Prominence Tomorrow to
League of Nations.
Nv Associated Press to Every Evening

BY Associated Press to Every Evening
Marion, O., July 2l.-Senator Hard
ing's speech of acceptance TO be delivered
here tomorrow is expected by hts close
assistants to give prominence to the for
eign policy of President Wilson and the
League of Nations. Those who know the
Senator's mind expressed confidence that
he would bridge successfully the Repub-
lcan difference of opinion which threat
ened split at Chicago.
1t was said the speech would be par
ticularly militant in its opposition TO the
Wilson policies to which the Senator re-
CARDS the Democrats as pledged un-
reservedly.
In addition to declaring unthinkable
the accpetance of the league as the Presi-
dent fashioned it, the Senator is expected
to express in direct terms his belief that
America should not remain isolated and
to take the position that the war sacTi-
fees will prove IN vain unless there is
established new order with added Sc
curity to peace and civilization.
An automobile ride and a golf game
were on the Senator's program today.

so Minutes.
BY Associated Press to Every Evening

BY Associated Press to Every Evening
Philadelphia, July 2l.--Hog Island
today planned to establish a new world's 8
record for launchings, sending seven
1925 ton steel cargo carriers, the last on
the ways mt the big plant, overheard
within fifty minutes.
The ships and their sponsors were:

The yard was thrown open to the public
and special trains, trolley cars and cScur-
sion steamers brought many spectators.
National, State and city officials were
present.
With the completion Of the seven ships
to be launched today and % others now
in the wet basin for outfitting, the Ameri :
can International Corporations contract
for l22 vessels, 10 cargo carriers and
twelve troopships, will be finished and

government this week
The final disposition Of the huge yard
with its fifty ship ways and scores Of
buildings that during the height Of it
activities housed more than 10000 me"
workers, has not been determined. A
number of suggestions have been offered
by commercial and business organiza-
tions, among them being the purchase Of
the plant by the city and it's conversion
into a railway and ocean terminal.
Since Mrs Woodrow Wilson, on August
5, 1918, chrsitened the Quistconok, the
first vessel launched at Hog Island. the
yard has averaged more than one launch

The dinner that evening was TO
be of more formal character than

Dinner would not be served until
eight o'clock-the solicitor well
coined the short respite from the
hateful presence OF the scoundrels
downstairs. He began to dress lei
surely. hoping that, by the time he
was ready. one or two of the others
would have arrived. He felt little
annoyed that he had been forced to

fruition. He smoothed the envelope
out and put 1t In the pocket OF his
dinner jacket. together with the
scrap that now had assumed such
importance to his case. His win
dow commanded a view OF the en-
trance-gates, and when Robert was
dressed, he pulled up chair, and.
lighting a cigarette, watched for
the arrival OF the guests.
Near while, In Dartin's little
study, a dramatic scene might
have been witnessed. The master
of the house, pale but composed,
sat at his desk. his hands clasping
the arms OF his chair so that the
knuckles stood out, little patches
of white skin. Before him, and far
less at his ease. Haverton paced
up and down the square of carpet.
Now and again he would pass his
handkerchief with a nervous ges-
ture across his forehead, and
glance anxiously at the man in the
chair.
Dartin ran his tongue over his
dry lips.

thoughts. Like all men who live
oy tneir wits, he was q mass OF
superstition, and he told himsek
that II was no accident that the
scrap OF pager had Nailen as II had.
That Il conyeyed a warning he did
not for a moment question, and ne
knew that at last net was closing
round him. He hac let the paper
rest where Il had fallen. and now
he reached down and picked II up,
tearing II savagely into minute
pieces, as though the innocent
page of magazine advertisements
were in itself a menace.
For the first few months after
the crime in Mortimer Terrace he
had been worried by his failure to
locate the paper he had used as o.
decoy. II contained, as he knew.
only a few words and figures, notes

played with a youth whom they had

division OF the spoil they had taken
from their pigeon. He did not for
a moment think that there was any
identifying importance to 1t, but 1t
haunted him.
- Then as day followed day and
weeks grew into months and no
mention was made in the press OF
its discovery, he put II from his
mind, telling himself that In those
hours he had spent in the darkened

now blurred and indistinct. he must
have destroyed 1t. He did not re-
member having done so, but 1t
was hardly likely he would have
passed II over. This conviction
grew upon him as time passed. un-
til he accepted It as a certainty,
and 1t was a rude awakening that
Mr.. Baptiste Dartin had received
this Summer afternoon.
He glanced at the clock on the
desk. He must compose himself
and prepare to receive his guests.
He knew by late experience that

asked himself bitterly how he was
TO get through the remaining hours
how he was to sit at dinner, to
take hospitality from the hands red
with poor Hubert's blood.
The thought came to him that
he might make some excuse and
catch the evening train to London,
but he saw that there was no time
to do so without appearing strange
and attracting that attention to
himself that wiser counsels told
him was not advisable. AS he stood

nervously folded 1t twice. AS he

the floor, and Dartin. as his eyes
followed Il, stified back a hoarse
cry that rose to his lips. For the

and memories flooded In upon the
man at the sight.
Through mist he seemed to see
the furnishings Of that fatal room
in Mortimer Terrace. Just so had
he dropped square OF paper, the
ruse that was TO lead poor Hubert
Baxenter to his death. Through
the haze the little square OF white

little study seemed to grow darker,
and the silver clock on his desk cut
the air solemnly with its tich-

sunlight that was flooding the
lawns outside the window dark
