MILD REBUKE TO WILSON
Harding Sees No Warrant for
'Grave Inference Of Viola
tion of Diplomatic Usage.

Special Despatch to THE NEW YORK HnALs.
MARION, Ohio, Oct. 1S.-Senator Har-
ding, replying tonight to President
Wilson's question whether. in his
speech at Greencastle, Ind, on Satur-
day. he had meant to state or to infer
that the Government of France had
approached him informally to say
France desired the United States To
lead the way toward a new fraternity
of nations. informed the President that
his words could not be construed to
mean that the French Government
had sent anybody to him, but that
there had come to him, as a member
Of the Senate Foreign Relations Com
mittee and as a private citizen. per-
sons speaking the manifest sentiment
Of the French people.
The meat Of this controversy lies in
two things-whether Senator Harding
In his Greencastle speech said "spokes-
man." or "spokesmen" in referring to
persons thai had reported him the
sentiment OF the French people, and
"@-~SASA SAio PiSSo iitfu quOlcQ dCCus
rately the passage in the speech to
which the President took umbrage.
Persons who heard the speech dis.
tinctly caught the plural "spokesmen," q
broad and general term OF allusion. AS
a matter of fact the official stenographer
transcribed his notes to read "spokes-
man." the singular and restrictive term.
This word was sent out by the Associated
Press and other correspondents with the
Harding train. but subsequently. and be-
fore the President asked his question,
Senator Harding told inquirers that he
spoke in the plural, and had no intention
to make II appear that any officially
accredited representative OF the French
Government had approached him.
The Presidents letter to Senator Har-
ding does not quote Mr.. Harding's words
correctly but uses paraphrase of the
meaning which was made by the AS
sociated Press, and this is called to the
Presidents attention in the Senator'S
reply tonight
II is well known here that Senator
Harding has been told informally and
unofficially by French men OF standing
and by Americans familiar with French
Views that there is no objection what
ever In France to Americas rejection
OF some parts OF the league covenant or
to any safeguarding reservations that
America may desire to make. 1t was
TO these assurances that Senator Har.
ding alluded in his Greencastle speech.

nounced yesterday he would soon leave
the United States Mt the head of a
scientific expedition, through which he
hopes to establish the origin of man
and locate the most primitive human
remains, the link between man and the
ape. The ultimate destination of the
expedition will be in Central Asia,
where scientists believe that man, as
distinct from the ape, originated.
The expedition. unparalleled in scien-
tific history. both for purpose and size.
Will include botanists. biologists. an
thropologists. paleontologists. archeolo-
gists and other scientists. 1t will use
automobiles. camels. mules and proba-
bly, airplanes in reaching its various
destinations further removed from CIV
ilization than the heart of Africa II
will cost $50,0o0 and will continue its
explorations for five years. 1t will visit,
among other countries hitherto unpen-
etrated. portions OF Thibet, Turkestan
and the Mongolian Desert, and II Is IN
one OF these regions where II hopes TO
find the place where man originated.
The explorations OF the expedition in
these districts will be based on the ex-
cavation by a Dutch army surgeon in
1891 Of part Of skull. two moiar teeth
and n thigh bone, by which he uncov-
cred one of the most perplexing conun-
drums IN human ancestry. The remains
were thought possibly to be those of a
prehuman manlike animal who must
have lived at least 10000 years ago.
The problem was intensified by the dis
covery OF other human remains in Eu-
rope, notably those OF the Heidelberg

ago.
Although fossil remains OF primitive
man have been found principally In
Europe. scientists have adopted the
theory that the region where mans an

to use their forepaws to grasp sticks
and stones for defence, was In the great
central Asian plateau. somewhere north
OF the Himalaya Mountains in northern
India. 1t is to prove this theory that
some of the leading scientists OF the
country will devote five years of their
lives. In addition to performing this
work the expedition will bring back a
collection of Asiatic animals.
The expedition will be financed by the
