PLEASED AT RESULT

NO SEPARATE TREATY

New York Herald Bureau,
Berlin, Nov. 4.
Officials of the German Government,
while declining to make formal state
ment, personally express satisfaction
over the victory by senator Harding.
They not only share the common Ger
man opinion that the result OF the cleo
ton means population of the Wilson
policies. but they accept it as a fore
gone conclusion that 1t means the re-
establishment OF healthy business rela-
-tions between the United States and
Germany
Prominent officials of the Berlin For
eign Office told THE NEW YORK HERALD
correspondent they hoped Congress
would not wait until next March to de-
clare an end of the war with Germany.
They believed President Wilson would
hardly dare to veto such measure in
defiance Of the American referendum.
No Conclusions Drawn.
The German Foreign Office, they in
timated, had drawn no conclusions in
connection with the Harding policy re-
garding Germany, because, they said, in
his campaign speeches he had not been
definite about that policy.
1t Is assumed here that Mr.. Harding
will not accept the League of Nations
even with notifications or an interna-
tional organization of a new character.
Also. it is considered unlikely that he
will make a separate peace treaty with
Germany. In any event. 1t is held, Ger
many would gain only by the United
States taking an active part in the af-
fairs of some portion of Europe, what
ever portion that proved to be, because
the complete isolation of America would
mean that there fould be no check
against the influence of France.
Hope Troops Remain.
In this connection. officials here re-
ferred to the United States army of
occupation and stated that Germany
would greatly prefer having the Amer
leans remain in Europe, since in the
event of their withdrawal they would be
repls ced by the troops of the Entente
Allies They thought an American with
drae'al from the Rhine might mean
more French colored colonials would be
assigned to service in Germany.
BUSINESS will be the dominating mo-
tive an the new relations between the
United States and Germany, at least il
the present German Government has its
way. Whether this will mean that
business man will be chosen as German
Ambassador to the United States 1t is
yet too early to state. The German
policy is yet to be determined fully. The
policy with regard to England and
France may be pursued and a Charge
fAcaires appointed to serve in the
capacity of Ambassador before being
elevated to higher diplomatic rank. The
ia,-1t {, 1,,pt for
this post is in finding some one who is
not too closely identified with a special
branch of German business and thus
free them from the charge which might
be made that they promoted special in
stead of national interests.

ROOSEVELT.

Franklin Dclano Roosevelt. Demo- cratic candidate for Vice-President. is comparatively young man and, what Is perhaps more interesting, is fifth cousin to the late Theodore Roosevelt.
 There Is little that resembles the late President about him. He attend sibly tho most exclusive youth of the country. and was graduated from Harvard in 1904, later attending the Columbia Law School. He learned moro law with prominent New York firm. that of Carter. Ledyard and Milburn. and subsequently, be- came & member of tho firm of Mar win. Hooker and Roosevelt. He be- came State Senator from the district comprising Duchess. Putnam and Columbia counties. one which had been represented at Albany for twenty years by n republican.
 In his conduct of affairs as As sistnnt Secretary of the Navy he has earned pralse TOT ms clean-cut coH- duct of his duties. and has 'clean record" in politics as in private life.
 One inclines to the belief that MT. Roosevelt is just the sort of man his picture indicates--a fine, reliable chap. The fact that there is in evil dence no big stick of persuasion does not detract from his reputation. A life of comparative conservatism, in a candidate for the office for which he has just been nominated. is not liability. As yet he has evinced no tint of radicalism. and this fact is a distinct asset in a Vice President.
 The unanimity with which Mir. Roosevelt was selected, other ''possi- bilities" having withdrawn their names when the sentiment for him became apparent. leaves a rather soothing feeling when one contem- plates the turmoil that attended the naming of the Presidential candidate.
 Mir. Roosevelt will prove hitting running mate for Governor Cox and will add atmosphere" to the ticket: perhaps something more.

FASHION.

Talk of mflliners deciding to have four seasons instead of two. raises the question of the adherence to fashion today by men and by women.
 It is believed that the high cost of everything has driven sensible people away from that close dependence upon fashion that formerly prevailed. The willingness to wear old clothes. for in- stance. if they are presentable and fairly we'll suited to the weather. hH 8 made men especially unobservant of fashions dccrecs. Tn England the As cot races are about the only events that seem to necessitate a strictly fashionable costume for women. There the manner of dress is far more simple than formerly.
 IL was an easy matter to continue the feeling of the unimportance of dress strong during the progress of the war. into the days of reconstruction. For a long time it seemed almost trivial to consider as important things that had seemed SO unimportant at that time.
 The high cost of living aided. When men and women had for months been giving up things which they had always felt they could not do without, it was not difficult to continue the habit
 Thus. it is believed. some slight good of n lasting character has come. It will bc n difficult matter for mill liners or any other class of trades people to decree that four different kinds of headgear or clothing is now demanded. if one i3 to appear smart.

 gifts. Purple the splendid spread of sea Creams on the sands its sunny
 tides: Fountains of green, the palm trees
 swing: Full in the wind the white gull Dusks blue and swift as heron's
 wing, Then from the darkening east the
 stars. Then from the sea the nights that
 sing. oh, velvet glory of the dark. oh. living bosom of that sea. Regal your nights whose splendor
 sets
 On summer her full majesty. -Mnriory Stonenan Douglas in the Southern Review.

POLES WITHDRAWING
 BEFORE BOLSHEVIKI
Entire Front Forced to Shorten Most Fearful Attack Yet Launched
by Soviets.

by Soviets.
 Warsaw, July 6. (By Associated Press )-Along a front of 72O miles the bolsheviki have launched the greatest attack they have ever hurledE against the Polish lines. On the northern and southern flank the" Poles are retiring in the face of su- perior forces, the attack on the north ern sector being the most terrific of the struggle on this frost.
 Faced with the necessity of shorten ing their line the Poles have begun a withdrawal at all points.
 The bolshevik offensive is heaviest on the northern sectors of the front and it is known here to what extent the Poles have been forced to re- treat. Northeast of Rovno, the bol- sheviki have advanced, cutting the railroad to Kovl. Gen. Budenny con tinues his raids in this region.
 Severe fighting is going on along the right flank of the Polish line and also on the Beresina front where the soviet army has brought up large re-t Inducements.
 London, July 1.-The fortress of Rovno, one of the famous triangle of Actresses in Volhynia to the east of Dubno and Lutsk, has been captured from the Poles by the bolsheviki, it is announced in a soviet statement re- ceived by wireless from Moscow to- day. The bolshevik took 1000 pris- oners, two armored trains, two tanks, two six-inch guns and a train with locomotives.
