NOT PERSONAL
VICTORY, HARDING

MARION. o., Nov. 3 Omitted Press.)
AT 10 o'clock last night Senator
Harding, after carefully studying the
reports of press associations and tele-
grams from Republican headquarters,
assuring him of victory, issued a
statement.
The Senator sat in his study perus-
ing returns while Mrs. Harding en-
tertaiued the dozens of friends who
swarmed in and out OF the Harding
home. Senator Harding said:
Assuming that the early returns
are wholly dependable, I do not hesi-
tate 10 say that am pleased, OF
course. am happy TO utter my graft
tude, bue I am not exultant. IL is not
a personal victory. II is a renewed
expression OF confident Americanism
and a national call 10 the Republican
party. II is also serious. The Obliga-
tions are so solemn that instead OF
exulting l am more given TO prayer
TO God 10 make me capable OF playing
my part and that all those calls 10 re-
sponsibility may meet the aspirations
and expectations OF America and the
world. ! am sure the people who
have voted the Republican ticket will
understand my feeling that / should
make no unstudied statement OF poll
cies at this time, beyond the eNpres-
sion made throughout the campaign" !"
senator Harding said IL had been his
intention, win or lose, TO take a vaca-
tion during the month OF November.
He will leave at the end OF this week
for a distant point in Texas.

candidate, they stoutly maintained
that it had not been confirmed but a
few minutes later the party broke UP.
I'VE aren't sure. but we won't gve
up hope, they. said.
AT the same hour conditions IN the
vicinity OF the Republican headquar-
ters were markedly different. There,
despite the nasty drizzle. the crowds
thrOnged in and out the doors, or
stood along the pavement in front Of
the headquarters TO get a glimpse at
the latest returns as flashed from a
stereopticon on the second floor. Now
city statesmen wandered up and down
among the throng. finding a ready
market for small white cards bearing

ULTIMATUM IS GIVEN
Lloyd George Charges Germans
With Treaty Evasion.
German Chancellor Declares Country
Is Loyalty Attempting TIC Garry
Out All Terms.

Spa. Observation-Disclosures the confer
ence on the peace treaty breaks up de-
ponds upon whether the Germans pre-
sent a plan for disarmament, the inn
mediate reduction of the army from
200, 900 to 100, 900 men and the sur
render of upwards of 1,500, 900 rifles
in the hands of the people.
Premier Lloyd George, speaking for
the Allied governments, presented
what may be called an ultimatum, but
which DR.. Simons, the German foreign
minister, termed "a very positive de-
mand."
DR.. Simons said to the Associated
Press afterward: 1--WE do not yet
know what we VIII do. The situation
is too serious for me to comment
on it,"
The impression among observers is
that the Germans will present a plan.
The German delegates do not appear
unwilling for their people to see how
difficult their position is.
The most dramatic moment of the
session was when Premier Lloyd
George said:
II do not believe that the Germans
intend to execute the treaty"
The German foreign minister imme-
diately interrupted, saying:
"You have no righ' to make any
such remark. We are trying to ex-
ecute the treaty"
Chancellor Fehrenbach, invoking the
name Of the Creator, cried: 1--WE are
loyalty trying to execute the treaty"
Minister of Defense Gessler explain
ed the German situation, in support of
the contention Of the German govern
ment that it must have an armed force
OF 200, 900 men to maintain order in
the republic. Herr Gessler insisted
that the Allied plan for 15O, 900 police,
broken up into small bodies under To-
cal control and without coordination,
was insufficient to deal with the pre-.
sent situation in Germany. Armed
bands in various parts of the country
were pillaging and killing. he said. and
they were armed not only with or
binary weapons but with machine guns
which they knew how to use.
How can you feel that centrally
organized bands can be dealt with by
a police force that is not centrally or
ganized and directed?" he asked. 1T
