In addition to the frequent crimes

Some OF the investigators are dis

crime is the natural result of the
ten years OF revolution in Mexico,
when old ideas OF law and order were
upset and put at defiance. These
theorists say that In all countries an

ROYAL ROMANCE
Statesmen Seek to Halt Union
of Rumanian Princess
With Greek.

PARIS, Nov. 3--The diplomatic
battle to prevent the marriage OF the
beautiful young Princess Elizabeth
Of Rumania with Prince George. eld-
est son of the eXiled King Constan-
tine of Greece, has been renewed with
prospects that all the leading allied
statesmen OF Europe will soon be AZ
lied against King Cupid.
Premier Lloyd George was report
ed a fortnight ago to have strongly
urged Queen Marie of Rumania
against such marriage on the
ground that it would cause ill-feel-
ing between Rumania and the rSgn.
ing Venizelos government in Athens
and also in allied countries. Now
take Tonesco, Rumanian foreign min
lister, has taken a stand against this
royal matrimpnial alliance and is said
to have even discussed IT with French
officials during his visit to Paris
early in October.
But in the most important develop
ment in this interesting game of love
and diplomacy is the report that the
game of love and diplomacy is the
report that the princess herself is
now wavering and may break Off her
engagement to the prince she has
loved for many years. Her attach

urging the marriage and defying all
Europe to prevent it.
Queen Marie is said to he determined
that her daughter shall one day occupy
throne and she believes her chances
best If she marries Prince George. who
accompanied his father in exile in
Switzerland when the allies forced Con-
stantine off the throne for alleged pro-
German tendencies. There are only two
other eligible princes in the world who
probably will become kings and the
Rumanian Queen does not want to miss
any opportunities. =
The prince regent of the new king
dom of Jugo-Slavia Is one OF these and
it is he that allied diplomats have sug-
gested would make a suitable husband
for the Rumanian Princess, since he IL
much attached to the allied cause and
already virtually occupies the throne.
The other is Boris of Bulgaria, who is
younger than the Princess and who n
she Is said to detest. What the prince
regent Of Jugo-Slavia thinks of the
plan Of marrying him off to the Prin-
cess Elizabeth is not known.

GERMANS KEEPING
WORD WITH ALLIES
Delivers More Coal Than Prom
side and FuIfills Air
Clause Pledges.

PARIS. Nov s.-The new German
government has In a very large meas
ure justified the confidence In its sim
certify expressed by Premier Lloyd
George In a statement to the Inter
national News Service at the conclu'
sion OF the Spa conference last July,
Germany has approx mately full
filled the two important pledges she
gave the Allies at Spa. though her
own leaders at that time expressed
doubts as to her ability to carry out
her promises. She has delivered to
France even a little more than the
amount of coal she promised though
there are some complaints as to Its
quality. She has practically fulfilled
her agreement as to disarmament for
the period ending October /. and now
adv ces received by the Council OF
Ambassadors shows that she has vir-
tually carried out the air clauses OF
the Treaty of Versailles, matter
that gave the French very much con-
Germ.
WORRY OVER AIRPLANEs.
France has kept a watchful eye on
the execution OF the air clauses Of the
treaty. realizing that the Germans
would be incapable OF any early hos
tile action II they were stripped OF
air power. There are constant COM
plants n the French press that Ger
man civilian aviation Is progressing
at a dangerous rate, but reports to
the Ambassadors show that the de-
livery and destruction OF former war
planes and dirigibles In accordance
with the terms Of the treaty nave
been virtually completed.
At Spa. the Germans were frankly
told that they had failed to fulfll
the treaty terms with regard to aero
plane and balloon delivery and de-
struction. They we're further told
that the carrying out OF those clauses
would be one of the tests OF sincerity
specially considered by the allies.
TO DELIVER DIRIGIBLEs..
The intcrallied aeronautic control
commission has now certified that the
work Is about done. in so far as
mobile war material Is concerned.
Excepting the five Zeppelins de-
stroyed by their crews. all those
which were to have been handed over
TO the allies have been delivered. or
are about to be delivered. There re-
mains only the question OF the de-
livery OF the two passenger carrying
Zeppelins, the Bodensee and Nord-
stern. These are claimed by the allies
to replace the five destroyed dirigi-
bles, and IT Is believed the Germans
will deliver them.
A very large majority Of the aero
planes claimed by the allies under the
treaty have been delivered or de-
stroyed. Tho French actually took
possession of only a few and these of
the latest types. The others were de-
stroyed in Germany.
Under the arrangement made at
Spa, Germany was given until Feb
ruary IS, 1921, to destroy or deliver
fixed aerial material" This work is
going forward at a satisfactory rate
and 1t Is probable that It will be COM
pleted by the date fixed.

GOOD THING
But No Good for Workers.
Say the Same En-
plOyers

Topeka, Kan.-Organized employers
in this state denounce organized labor
for its non-partisan political activity
while these same bosses call on polit-
ical parties to favor their demands.
In a letter to members, Secretary
Sharp, of the associated industries Of
Kansas, says:
"You have seen the platform
adopted by the republican party at
Chicago You will note that it en-
bodies many of the principles which
our platform suggests, some planks
being almost identical The same
attempt to have the democratic party
take recognition of these principles
will be made at the San Francisco
convention"
Secretary Sharp, however, indicates
that platforms should not be consid-
cred the final word, for, he says:
Members should realize that both
dominant parties are out to win in
November. For that reason the def
mite expression of platform planks
may not fully define the purpose for
federal enactments by leaders of the
two parties"

THE CHURCH AND THE STEEL
STRIKE

The report on the steel strike IS a
ane vindication of the industrial rela-
tions department Of the Interchurch
World Movement, and ougt to point
the way for governmental action.
The personnel Of the commission
was of the highest type-men and
women nationally known in religious
and educational fields of endeayor-
anc that fact adds tremendously to
the value Of the findings. It will be
difficult to convince sane men and wo-
men anywhere that Bishop Mcconnell
and Bishop Williams and their asso-
ciates have attached their names to a
document that 'slibels" the steel cor
poration. The tone Of the report is
admirable, and this is all the more re-
markable in view Of the provocahon
given its authors. They have been
traduced by members of the Civic
Federation, the National Association
Of Manufacturers, the subsidized press
aad wealthy churchmen of their own
denominations. It is to their credit
that they have kept their tempers,
ana that fact viii undoubtedly con-
tribute great deal to the winning Of
their case.
Perhaps it is not a mere coincidence
that Judge Gary, head Of the United
States steel corporation, departed for
Europe when he learned that his at
tempt to suppress the report had fail
ed. It may be recalled that nearly
thirty years ago Andrew Carnegie,
founder Of the steel oligarchy, left
for Scotland while his hired gunner
waged battle with his steel employees
at Homestead. Since the Homestead
var Of 1892 the slaves of steel have
oeen held in complete subjection
Efforts of organized labor to remedy
conditions have failed, because the
constitution is not recognized in the
steel mill areas.
The influence of the steel magnates
has been sufficient heretofore to keep
the facts from the public. They pre-
vented the publication of an investiga-
tion Of civil liberties in Pennsylvania
made BY the secretary Of labor They
suppressed report by George P.
West made to the war labor board,
and they succeeded in limiting the cir
culation Of the printed copies Of the
testimony taken by the senate COM
mittee They even had representa-
tive on the senate committee in the
person Of Senator Phipps, Of Colorado,
whose wealth was drawn from the
steel mills Of Pittsburgh.

erful enough to suppress the report

WHO is HARDING?

"A great many questions have been
asked by the workers as to the record
Of Senator Harding, the republican
candidate for president. Lynn Haines,
editor of the Searehlight, a magazine
devoted to keeping tab on the con-
gressmen, describes Harding's sena-
torial career as follows
"His leaders have been the Oldest
and most reactionary of the old guard
Penrose, Smoot and Lodge. He has
talked as they talked and voted as they
voted But he has never ventured at
leadership. Through nearly six
years in the senate, he has made no big
fight, good or bad, with which his
name can be identified. He has stood
consistently for special political and
economic interests, but always in that
colorless me too capacity.
Many many times Harding dodg-
ed important roll calls, but he has an
swered yea or nay in chorus with
the old guard often enough to demon
strate clearly his attitude on vital is
sues.
"He voted for the Cummins bill,
with its anti-strike provision, later be-
ing paired for the conference report
on the railroad measure.
During all the long struggle of the
conservationists against the vicious
Shields water power bill, he supported
the measure, and voted to prevent the
safeguarding Of public interests
through amendments"
