vacant In the league, which ought to
be filled by the United States, Russia
and Germany.
At the mention of Germany, M. VI

moner eratified Over Develop

Marion, Ohio With his plan for an
association OF nations assuming more
definite form, Presldent.elect Harding
took into his confidence ON Friday
three conspicuous Democrats, William
Jennings Bryan, james w. Gerard and
James A. Reed, and asked their advice
and their aid in fashioning a program
behind which the nations can unite.
All three came as invited guests Of
the president-elect, aud their consuita-
tlons with him were surrounded with
an air of cordially Afterward Mr..
Bryan. taking the lead in expressing
qualification at the days develop
ments, declared his faith IN Mr.. Har-
ding as an honest and conscientious
public servant whom the whole people
could trust.
The former secretary Of state an
nenneed that he had found himself in
agreement with the president elect on
fundamentals and added that he took
q hopeful view of the conference here
to evolve plan for world peace.
Mr. Gerard, former American am
bassador to Germany, and during the
last campaign actively connected with
the Democratic national committee,
joined with Mr. Bryan in expressing
satisfaction at the scope of the associ-
alton of nations conferences.
Senator Reed reserved judgment of
the outline of an association laid be-
fore him by the president-elect, but
declared himself delighted that one so
irreconcilably opposed to the Versailles
covenant and to foreign entanglements
generally, should have been invited to
MIR. Harding's council table.

Minor shocks continue throughout

In the town of Costa de Araujo the
seismic convulsion opened great
crevices, out of which hot water Is
spouting. The water from one of

fifteen feet and formed pool
In which two persons were

will be very high. Rescue parties
have been sent from Mendoza, but de-
