HARDING PLAN IS
ACCEPTABLE WITH
FRENCH OFFICIALS
Washington Is Silent; Of.
ficial Circles in Paris Be-
lieve France Is Willing to
Cooperate With the New
Administration.

Paris, Nov 6.-The view was ex-
pressed in official circles today that
the French government would be
ready to cooperate with the authori-
ties at Washington in formulating
something different from the covenant
of the league of nations as drawn at
Versailles in order to take its place.
This statement was made in Off
cial quarters in referring to the dec
laration of President-elect Harding.
as cabled from Marion, Ohio, to the
French press, to the effect that the
Versailles covenant was now de
ceased" This is interpreted by Of
fcials as applying to the covenant as
drawn at Versailles, and as indicating
that something different from the YER
sailles agreement must take its place.
To that end, it was stated by Off
cials. the French government would
be ready to give its collaboration.
1t has been the generally accepted
view here that the French govern
ment would accept reservations by
the United States regarding Article
y, and the other provisions of the
covenant, which have, ,been the sub
iect Of controversy IN the United
States. In this connection it was
pointed out in official circles today
that the original French idea of 4
league Of nations did not contain
anything like Article 10.
Whether the amended organization
would be called a league or So
ciety or an association is imma terial
to France, according TO the govern
ment viewpoint. The essential thing,
it is held, is TO arrive as near a.
possible to the prevention Of war.

DAY CELEBRATION
Governor Brough of Ar
kansas Principal Speaker
Program Opened We'd
nesday Night by School
Children

With a two-fold purpose in mind.
the committee of the George r. An
derson Post of the American Legion
has completed arrangements for the
memorial and Americanzation pro-
gram which will be conducted in this

1lth.
Two years nave passed since the
firing of the last shot on the fields
of Flanders, in the greatest war In
the history of the world, and MEM
ories of the boys who participated in
the massive drive Of Democracy
against Autocracy, and the civilians
who so patrotically assisted in the
great cause of humanity. are vivid
with indelible emotions which will
never be erased from the human
mind. 1t is fitting and proper that
the people of America pause during
this intensive age of reconstruction,
and pay tribute to those who made
the supreme sacrifice, to those who
have returned from the fields of bat
cause at home.
The two-fold purpose Of the pro-
gram is fitting because the people
Of America must solemnly pay trb-
ute to the memory of the flower OF
American manhood and that Of the
other nations, who are now sleeping
after having given their all in the
upholding of the principles of their
country.
The memorial program of the day
has been set aside for the purpose OF
tribute to these martyrs DR.. X. l..
Davidson, overseas chaplain during
the war, will deliver the memorial
address.
The other purpose of the program
is to celebrate in honor of the re-
turned heroes, who also without
flincning. gave up their daily pursuits
Of life, to shoulder arms in defense
Of the great cause. This celebration
will include the AmericaniZation pro-
gram, in which Governor Brough. of
Arkansas, will deliver the principal
address, the subject Of which will
r be Americas Conquest of the World.
A monster parade, military ball,
and other features will be included
ION the roster"
The celebration will begin We'd
rcsday night at o'clock when more
uhan 500 school children of Ardmore
'wil participate in monster song
festival at Convention Hall Three
thousand school children will form a
part Of the parade on Thursday.
An exact reproduction OF n formal
retreat" the most imposing and
picturesque of military ceremonies,
will be the concluding feature of the
days exercises at Central Park. where
the Memorial and Americanization eX-
ercises will be carried out immedi-
ately after the parade. During this
ceremony, when the band plays. "Tho
Star Spangled Banner" and the flas
Is being lowered, men not in uniform
will uncover and hold their hats over
the heart The ladies' viii stand. This
ls the formal civilian respect for the
flag and our national anthem.

GAMES IN JACKSON, TENN.
Henderson Pitches Good Game. Wood
And p. Wilson Hit Well. Cold.
Weather and Rain.

In weather better suited for foot
ball. Ole Miss beat Union two games
in Jackson. A drizzling rain coupled
with freezing weather made the ilrst
game rather slow affair. Union
with four new men was confident OF
winning at least one game. Inc
Ole Miss nine scored in the flrst
! frame when Barbour was hit by the
pitcher and came home on two WIG
pitches and an error. Mcclure
scored both of Unions runs both OF
which were the results of errors.
Ole Miss scored four more in the
fifth when Lester was walked, stole
second and came home on Woods
hit. Wood stole and P. Wilson, Ha-
thorn and Henderson all got hits,
with Henderson, P. Wilson, and Ha-

bases. Woods hit scored Wilson
minute later. Henderson scored our
last run in eighth inning. Hender-
son pitched a good game and field
ed his position remarkably well get
ting nine chances during the game.
The field was very poor one and
was made slow by a heavy ram.
The second game found Bagwell on
the mound for Ole Miss and our
boys taking things easy in ORDER to
rest up for the Vandy games. En-
rors and Texas league hits gave
Union her three runs. Ole Miss
got but three hits but didn't need
this many due to the wildness OF
