HERRICK. PROBABLY
FRANCES SPOKESMAN

Paris. Oct. 19.-As a possible ex-
PLANTATION of the reported statement
of Senator Harding that he had
been approached by representatives
of France regarding his attitude to-
ward league of nations, it is re-
ported here that former Ambassa-
dor Myron T. Herrick may have
been the person who attempted to
sound the Republican candidate in
behalf OF France regarding his
league views.
In answer to a cabled report for
statement from Stephen Laubanne
as to whether the mention of his
name by Senator Harding in dis
cussing the interest of the French
government was to be taken to in
dicate that he had discussed with
Senator Harding his position on the
league of nations. NJ Lauzanne said
today:
France remains skeptical of any
league or association of nations
which has not the power to back
up it's decisions by force.
My personal opinion is that
France is entirely Indifferent as to
whether the league remains as 1t
is at present constituted or whether
its form is changed and it is re-
baptised under some other name.
Therefore. 1 am able. to tell the
Republican and other American can
didates, that France is only inter-
ested in a league which shall pos
sess an army and navy sufficient
to impose its decisions upon others
in other words. a league having
supreme power"

SAYS COX FELL IN TRAP
He SET FOR HARDING

Maroon, Oct. 1s.-Another chapter
Of the controversy over the French
attitude toward the league Of ma
tious campaign issue between Scna-
tor Harding and President Wilson,
was opened up today when Repub-
lican headquarters here made Che di-
rect charge that Gov. Cox had fallen
into a trap he had prepared for
Senator Harding.
Judson g. Welliver. director Of
publicity for the Harding headuuar-
ters. declared that Maurice de Kobra,
a French journalist, made efforts re-
Gently to interview the Republican
nominee, who. however, had not seen
him. Mr.. Welliver charged that
Gov. Cox had full knowledge Of the
fact that VI. de Kobra, who has un-
til recently been with the Cox spe-
cial train, was going to try to see
Senator Harding in Indianapolis last
Friday. Therefore," asserted Mr..
Wclliver, when Gov. Cox. who ap-
parently had expected NJ. de Kobra
TO say certain things to Senator
Harding, heard of the Senator's ref
crenCe to the French situation at
Grecncastle, Ind, he concluded that
the French journalist had conversed
with the Republican nominee"

WAR SOUVENIR
FATAL TO BOY
Hand Grenade from France
Explodes, Killing l.
Year-Old Owner.

Frederick. Nd. Oct. ExpIo-
sion Of a hand grenade brought
back from France by a returning
Yank cost the life of 7-year-old
Raymond Powell, son Of Rex Pow
ell, Brunswick. An arm and a leg
were torn from the body Of the
boy. He died at the City Hospital
here four and a half hours after
the accident, which occurred at the
home of his grandfather, Martin
House, Brunswick. The mother OF
the boy had been taken to the hos
pital short time before the acci-
dent occurred.
Stories of the mishap differ. One
version is that the boy secured the
grenade without the knowledge Of
his grandfather and hammered II
with a stone Another report was
that a soldier gave the explosive
to the boy and that the latter struck
1t with a hammer while playing in
the yard at the home OF his grand

Seven thousand bituminous coal
operators of the country were asked
last night by Col. D. D. Wentz, presi-
dent of the National Coal Associa-

put during the soft coal crisis.
A Washington dealer said yester-
day that the soft coal situation here
has been easing up" for some time
and that an unwarranted high price
prevailed.

take no action, Col Vents state
ment last night said. owing to re-
strictions in the associations char

Turks and Reds
Alone Parallel
Erin, SayClergy

Dublin, Oct. 1s.-Irish Catholic
bishops in assembly at Maynooth
today issued the following mani
festo:
Never in the memory of the
living were there such disorders
as now when we are faced with
murders, raids, burnings, vio-
lence Of various kinds on an ap-
palling scale. Countless indis-
criminate raids and arrests in the
darkness of night, prolonged i'm
prisonment without trial. savage
sentences, the burning of houses,
town halls, factories, creameries
and crops, the destruction of in
dustries all pave the way to want
and famine.
These crimes are committed by
men maddened with pIundered
drink, bent on loot. The fiogging
and killing of civilians are per-
petrated by forces of the crown,
who have established a reign of
frightfulness that has a parallel
only in the horrors Of Turkish
atrocities or the outrages Of the
Red Bolshevist armies"

Fliers' Bombs Sink
One Time Pride of.
us. Fighting Fleet

Norfolk, Va. Oct. 1s.-The battle
ship Indiana, terror of the Span
iards in 1898, lies at the bottom of
Chesapeake Bay, a riddled wreck
today. She was sunk by aeroplanes,
who used the one-time pride of the
navy as a target for bomb dropping
experiments. The bombs were drop
ped from heights varying from 900
to 1000 feet, by naval airmen. 1t
took two days to sink her.
The Indiana rests. near the bones
of the San Marcus, once known as
the Battleship Texas, which was
shot to pieces by gunners on more
modern American warships.
The Iowa, sister ship of the In
diana, will soon meet the same fate.
She is to be a target for the At
lantic fleet, either in Chesapeake
Bay or off the Virginia Capes.

BOCHE PROTEST
COAL OUTFLOW
Factories Closed Because
France Gets Supply,
Says Hugo SHINES.

Berlin, Oct. 1o.-That there is an
immense surplus of coal in France,
and that the French railway yards
are congested with loaded coal
trains which are constantly arriv-
ing from Germany, while in Ger
many industries are being compelled
to close down was the substance of
a telegram Of protest sent to the
French government by Hugo SHINES
and other captains of German in
dustry.
The telegram called attention to
the fact that 1t has just been nee
essary to close four more big Ger
man furnaces as well as other in
dustries>because of the shortage of
coal
The gas works in Paris has 4S,-
900 tons of coal on hand at the
present time, which is more than
ever before. We beg that urgent
steps be taken in view of the great
surplus in France, in order that
Germany may be permitted to re-
tain sufficient coal and coke that
our industries will not be forced
into complete collapse" the tele-
gram read.
