Enthusiasm Over

BY The Associated Press.

Athens, Nov. 81. - Enthusiasm
over the prospective return of, ex-
King Constantine seemed to be dy-
ing down, although the topic of the
dynasty is virtually the only one dis
cussed. The capital presented a
gloomy picture. Rain was falling
and the silence of the cfowds seemed
to indicate SOLDERING down of the
popular fervor
Meanwhile news is being awaited
as to the attitude of the French and
British governments and also as to
the reports that the ex-ruler will
attempt to reach Greece.
This morning M. De Billy, French
minister, when calling on Premier
Rhallis, saw in the reception room a
huge, newly-hung portrait Of Con-
stantine. He told the premier
sharply that it was a mistake to be-

Is Unlucky for
Bluffs Robbers
Biggest Train Robbery in His
tory of U. S. Staged Nov. 49,
Size FrigHtens. Bandits.

The Phillips boys and Fred Pof-
fenbarger, Council Bluffs youths,
held as the alleged mail robbers, will
never forget the number IS.
& On November Is, last Saturday,
they almost put over the biggest
train robbery in the history of the
country.
Chance played big part in their
efforts, according to one of the post
office inspectors.
The plans for the robbery were
hatched i'll their own brains. They
did not receive "tip" from outside
sources, he contends, and "just took
a chance" that the car which they
entered would carry sufficient
amount of securities to pay them for
their efforts.
This Inspector gives US one of the
reasons why this November 18th
train robbery failed, the fact that
the boys were frightened when they
realized the amount of loot into
which they had stumbled.
Burning of the bonds, he attribut-
ed to this, as also the dropping of
the mail pouch in which $430000 was
found when agents recovered the
sack alongside the tracks at the
scene of the robbery.
The scattering OF the currency in
all corners and sections of the Daily
chicken coup. garage, kitchen and
barn, also gave evidence of fear
caused by the realization of the
magnitude of the robbery they had
attempted, he declared.

Norris of Nebrtska. irreconcilable:
"Of course the first step will be the
passage of peace resolution. With
its passage many important laws en-
acted for the period of the war, or
to expire within a specified period

go out of existence, or will begin to

But the first thing is to bring

no reason why the United. States

of Versailles which l consider just
as iniquitous as the league. Of pa

Kenyon of Iowa, reservationist:
"Pass the peace resolution, probably
resolution similar to the x Knox
resolution, and then negotiate such
treaties as we may desire. There
is no doubt but what the senate will
never accept a treaty which contains
anything resembling Article 10 of the
league Of nations covenant"
McCumber of North Dakota, who
voted for the peace treaty both with
and without the senate reservations
1T is clear that the senate will never
accept the league OF nations as pre-

Norris toUrge
Amendment to
Constitution
Senator Would Abolish Elec-
toral College and Choose
President by Direct
Vote Of People.
.oai..se rribuae-onaa. BE. Leased wsrss

Chieaso Tribune -0nshs Bee Leased Warea
Washington, Nov. 2l.-A resolu-
ton proposing an amendment to the
constitution Of the United States,
doing away with the electoral col
lege and providing for the direct
election of president and vice pres
ident by the people, will be intro
duced in the senate as soon as it
convenes by Senator Norris of Ne
braska.
Senator Norris proposal, how
ever, will leave to the states ,the
same number of electoral. votes
they now possess, and they will be
certified to the president of the
senate by the proper state officials.
In this way, if fraud occurred in
the elections of one state. it would
be isolated in that state and could
mot affect the total to the extent
that it might if the popular vote
alone were considered and added-to-
gether for grand total throughout
the country.
1t is Senator Norris opinion, also,
that too long time elapses after
the election of new president until
he takes Office. He sees no reason
why Senator Harding should wait
four months and two days to enter
the White House after the people
have elected him. The need for
bringing about an immediate settle-
ment of peace between this coun-
try and Germany and Austria, now
delayed for more than two years
after the cessation of hostilities and
determining once and for all what
the position of this country shall be
toward the league of nations brings
home the necessity for such a re-
form, he says. He believes the
newly elected president should take
Office early in January following his
election. He favors, too, having the
newly elected congress enter upon
its duties in January following its
election. This woad require a fur
ther amendment of the constitution

By ARTHUR SEARS HENNING

Washington, Nov. 2l.-A radical
program OF action in German and
Austrian peace treaties and the
league OF nations question is to be
strongly urged upon President-eleci
Harding by the more thoroughgo-
ing republican opponentss of the
peace negotiated by President Will
son. The salient feature of this pro-
gram are:
/. Complete rejection of the treaty
of Versailles.
?. Disentanglement of the United
States from thc enforcement of the
peace terms.
3. Recognition Of state OF peace
by resolution of congress.
4. Negotiation of treaties of amity
with Germany and Austria.
The proponents of this program
believe that it squares with Senator
Marding's acceptance speech in
which he said:
II promise you formal and 'effec-
tive peace ae quickly as republican
a republican executive to sign. Then
congress can pass its declaration for
.,ye may turn to our readjustment at
home and proceed deliberately and
-ehcctivcly to that home for world
relationship which shall satisfy both
conscience and aspirations and still
hold us Tree from mcnacing involve
r.ent."
Clash Expected.
In behalf OF this plan it is con-
tended that the American people
voted overwhelmingly against en-
tanglement of the United States in
the affairs of Europe. not only
through the Wilson league OF, no-
tons, but through the sanction OF
the peace terms proper and member
ship in the commissions that will
enforce those terms. There will be
clash between the advocates OF
this program and those who will ac-
cept the Versailles peace terms with
the league covenant either eliminated
or modified.
1t is significant however, that the
republican senators now in Wash
ington, representing all shades Of
opinion on the treaty and league
questions. are practically unanimous
i'll the belief that the Harding admin
,stration will declare peace with
Germany and Austria BY resolution,
similar 10 the Knox resolution, We
toed by Mr.. Wilson. Here are their
views:
