to say the least, the announcement
from Chicago, where the Republican
national convention was assembled,
that a platform plank, dealing with the
subject Of world peace, had been
drawn, leaving out the Lodge reserva-
tons, and yet remaining agreeable to
all interests, meaning thereby the
Lodge reservationists, the mild reser-
vationists and the group of Republican
senator's that openly opposed the
League of Nations in any form.
AS the platform made no definite
committal of policy and was, in fact,
so artfully phrased as TO make almost
any deduction possible, 1t passed
through the convention with practical
unanimity. Senator Johnson, however,
whose position has been consistent and
whose opposition to the league in any
shape is well known, withheld his sup
port Of the conventions choice until
the candidate had stated the meaning
of the platform, and announced def
nitely the policy that would be his, If
elected.
Senator Harding makes this new
pledge Of policy In behalf Of his party:
at promise you formal and effective
peace so quickly as a Republican con
gress can pass its declaration for a
Republican executive to sign.'
'"This means but one thing--a sepa-
rate peace with Germany!
"No less an authority than Senator
Lodge said, before the heat Of recent
controversy, that to make peace ex-
cept in company with the Allies would
brand US everlastingly with dishonor
and bring ruin to u.s.
"And then after peace Is made with
Germany, Senator Harding would, he
says, hopefully approach the nations
of Europe and Of the earth, proposing
that understanding which makes us a
willing participant in the conservation
of nations to a new relationship
"In short, America, refusing to enter
the League Of Nations (now already

established by t~Wenty-nine nations)
and bearing and deserving the con.
tempt Of the world, would submit an
entirely new project. This act would
either be regarded as arrant madness
or attempted International bossism.
"These are fateful times. Organized
government has a definite duty all ove
the world. The house Of civilization
is to be put in order. The supreme Is,
sue of the century is before US and the
nation that halts and delays is playing
with fire. The finest impulses Of hu.
mainly, rising above national lines,
merely seek to make another horrible
war impossible. Under the old order
of international anarchy wal came
overnight, and the world was on fire
before We knew it. 1t sickens our
senses to think of another.
Ratification First Duty.
'The first duty of the new admins.
tration clearly will be the ratification
of the treaty. The matter should be
approached without thought of the bit
terness of the past. The public YER
dict will have been rendered, and I am
confident that the friends Of world
peace as it will be promoted by the
league will have in numbers the con-
stitutional requisite to favorable sena-
torial action. The captious may say
that u platform reference to reserva-
tons Is vague and indefinite. It's mean
ing, in brief, is that we shall state
u Interpretation Of the covenant as
a matter Of good faith to our asso-
ciates and as a precaution against
any misunderstanding in the future.
The point is that after the people shall
have spoken the league will be in the
hands Of its friends IN the senate, and
a safe index as to what they will do is
supplied by what reservations they
have proposed In the past. Some
months ago, in a contributed article to
the New York Times, I expressed my
W opinion of the situation as it then
a I reproduce 1t here:
""There can be no doubt but that
some senators have been conscientious
in their desire to clarity the provisions
Of the treaty. Two things apparently
have disturbed them: First, they want
ed to make sure that the league was
not to be an alliance, and that its basic
purpose was peace and not controver-
sy. Second, they wanted the other
powers signing the instrument to I'M
derstand our constitutional limitations
beyond which the treaty-making pow
er cannot go. Dealing with these two
questions in order, 1t has always SEEM
ed to me that the Interpretation of the
function of the league might have been
stated in these words:
"'In giving its assent to this treaty,
the senate has in mind the fact that
the League Of Nations which it en-
bodies was devised for the sole pur-
pose Of maintaining peace and comfy
among the nations Of the earth and
preventing the recurrence of such de-
structive conflicts as that through
which the world has just passed.
The cooperation Of the United States
with the League and its continuance
as a member thereof, will naturally de-
pend upon the adherence Of the
League to that fundamental purpose

Husband Seeks to Take
His Child From Dance,

John W. aNeil, of 142 West Eiehtieth
Street, thinks that it is not quite
proper that his two-year-old daughter
Jane Neil, should be in the custody of
his wife, Mrs. Renie /. Neil, a dancer
in the musical comedy "Honey Girl
and who appears in "short skirts,
tights and boomers"
On the allegation that Mrs. Neil on
May 80 abandoned him and took their
child with her, withholding from him
the whereabouts of the girl, the hus-
band swore out writ of habeas corpus
IN the Supreme Court yesterday. The
husband and father asks that the court
award him the custody of Jane, pend
ing the determination Of a separation
suit which he says he intends to insti-
tute.
Mr.. Neil complains that his wife neg
lects their child, who he fears will die
from want of proper care if Mrs Neil
is continued as guardian. The husband
lntimates that his mother-in-law, for
merly burlesque chorus girl, is parcly
responsible for the attitude of his
wife.
A year ago Mrs. Neil appeared in q
Broadway cabaret. Her costume, says
Mr.. Neil. "was so shocking and de-
grading" that he forbade her wearing
it. The wife and her mother, however,
announced after conference that she
would continue wearing the costume
that Mr.. Neil objected to and that he
could make the best of IT.

Allan A. Ryan Sues Head
Of N. Y. Stock Exchange
No Complaint Is Filed in Litiga.
ton Believed Due to Recent
Stutz Corner

A suit, which is believed to be an
ou:growth of the suspension by the
Stock Exchange of trading in Stutz
Motor Company stock, was filed in the
Supreme Court yesterday by Allan A.
Ryan against William H. Remick, as
president of the Stock Exchange Only
the summons Of the action was filed
by Stanchfeld G. Levy, counsel for Mr..
Eyan. while simultaneously the law
frm Of Carter, Ledyard & Milburn filed
a notice of appearance for Mr.. Remick
The complaint was not placed or
record. Neither the attorneys for the
plaintiff nor the defendant would dis
cuss the SUIT, and Mr.. Ryan and Mr..
Remick maintained the same reticense.
The trouble between Mr. Ryan and
the Stock Exchange came through the
heavy buying of Stutz stock by Mr..
Ryan. 1t was charged by the gov
ernors of the Stock Exchange that Mr..
Ryan was trying to maintain a corner
IN, the stock which skyrocketed in
value. The exchange suspended trad
ing in the stock and Mr.. Ryan resigned
as member. Brokers who sold Stutz
short to Mr.. Ryan had to settle with
him for large amount. 1t was hinted
