Outlook Is For
Fall Victory
For Harding

fighting an uphill fight but have
enough confidence in their case to be
ready TO accept the verdict at the
polls They haven't, however. COM
pleted their case yet, nor are they
especially certain that. in the short
time before the election their argu-
ments can convert those who have
been prejudiced BY the Republican Of
fensive.
As for the Republicans, every con-
ference among the leaders shows
confidence and certainty over the re-
suit. Some uneasiness is betrayed over
the activity OF Gov. Cox This has been
reflected in the effort to get Mr..
Harding off the front porch at Marion
but, as a general rule. the Republican
managers feel they have such a long
lead over Cox through the mistakes
OF the Wilson administration that
they will not even get worried over
the advances made by the Democratic
nominee. They think that. however
much he may progress, the final
tally Of electoral votes will show
senator Harding above the 266 mark.
The Democratic experts are depend
ing on Gov Cox to come up even with
senator Harding by the time he re-
turns from the west and has cam
paigned in the east say about the mid
die or October. The Republicans are
N-lAAAAAAE AANEAI u a4N AAHAAAe-
and a flood Of publicity in October.
Their strategy IS TO sit tight until then
and rely on the handicap they have and
the resentment there exists against
the Wilson administration Some Re
publicans believe a purely negative
policy IS dangerous and are hopeful
that senator Harding win begin TO
outline government, administration
and foreign policy before the middle OF
October. But the majority OF the Re
publican leaders think they have a
certain victory ahead.
As for Marion. Ohio, the at
mosphere at Harding's headquarters
is altogether presidential The feeling
there is that IL Is all over but the
shouting and frequently the CONVEX
sation turns 10 cabinet officers and
appointments under the expected Re
publican regime. Il has some Of the
aspects OF overconfidence but on read
ing their reports from all sections OF
the country. one can readily see the
reason for confidence, based on the
campaign as it has thus far developed

only one of the five ships capable Of
making the TRANSATLANTIC trip under

on arrival at New York that It would
be hazardous to send her 70 sea again
Capt. Hellweg attributed the condi-
ton OF the ships. four OF which the
cruiser Frankfurt and three destroy
ers. were submerged at Scapa Flow,
to deliberate vandalism" on the part
OF their former German crews.
The Quilted condition in which we
found these vessels on taking them
over cannot be exaggerated" he said.
What had not been stolen was
wrecked The vandalism indicated a
very careful preparation and the
usual thoroughness OF the Germans in
execution"
Expressing the belief that the ost-
friesiand had been systematically
looted in TIE German dockyards for a
year after her surrender had been
called for. Capt Hellweg also de-
clared the presence OF an "unneces-
sarily large crew aboard when the
dreadnought was brought TO Rsyth.

sent with a view to looung every
thing possible on the way"
Not only did the German crews
