DTeSSlnS ROOMS BclnS Built, kOW Boat
Launched, Well Drillcrs Strike Wa
ter, Etc.
The past week has been rather
eyentful one at the Bos-Tcrre Coun-
try Club. Outside of a number Of
small social affairs, events Of consid-
cradle Importance have taken place
at rather rapid rate. Seeing the
need Of bath houses on the waters
edge in addition to the showers and
dressing rooms at the club house, the
club officials last week had work start
ed on bath house for ladies. This
was nearing completion yesterday and
as soon as 1t Is completed work will
be started on the mems bath house.
Swimming has become immensely
popular at the club.
The next item Of nautical" interest
is the fact that the row boat was
launched yesterday morning with suit
able ceremonies. The boat has been
christcned the Jessie Scott, the maiden
hdlHc VI IuC WIG Vi ". ". U1uS mes,
county engineer, who gave valuable
engineering aid In making the club

feet long and is capable Of carrying
eight persons.
During the past week work has be-
gun on the tennis courts and yester-
day the telephone line was nearing
completion. The deep well was re-
ported yesterday as strikig sufficient
water supply at about ITO feet and in
case the test proves favorable the wa
ter system will be in working order
In few days.
The directors OF the Club are expect
ed to meet within very short time
when it Is expected that the matter OF
limiting the membership to number
in keeping with the size OF the club
and facilities will bc brought up. 1t
has already been noted that on special
occasions the club house becomes
rather crowded for comfort.

MAGAZINE EDITOR
QUESTIONS HARDING
Asks Him to Explain His
"ASsoCiation"
REMINDS Him
OF PROMISES

Mr.. Holt Declares that League of Ma.
tons and B0lshcyism were the Only
Two Great IDEAS that had Come Out
OF the War as World Panaceas. De-
cries BOlshcyism.
New York, June 1G.-Hamilton Holt,
magazine editor, who headed the dele
CATION Of pro-leaguc Republicans that
called on former president Wilson
during the last presidential campaign,
today made public letter he had writ
ten President Harding asking him to
explain to the American people the
terms Of the Harding Association pro-
posed to supplant the Wilson League
,of Nations
IF you delay much further, people
everywhere will inevitably conclude
that you have no concrete plan at all
or else that you propose to put party
harmony above world welfare" de-
clared Mr.. Holt "In that event there
will be nothing left for those who
want America to play her rightful
part in stabilizing the world but to
organize the country SO as to capture
congress for the league in 1922 and
presidency in 1924"
This, Mr.. Holt asserted, could be
done. He declared the league Of ma
tions and Bolshcvism were the only
great ideas that had come out of the
war as world panaceas, and he asked
the president whether he could guar
antcc that the world would not turn
to Bolshevism, if it came generally to
be believed that he had no plan at all
for a substitute for the league.
"As president-elcct, you did not see
fit to disclose your attitude on the
league beyond what you had said dur
ing the campaign. Both the thirty
one and 'irrcconcilables' claimed you
for their own. AS president, however,
you have unequivocably rcpudiated the
existing league Of nations whose area
comprises considerably more than
half the earth and whose population
numbers three quarters Of the human
race. You even permitted without re-
buke, your ambassador at the Court
of ST. James to say that you will have
nothing to do with any commission or
committee appointed by the league or
responsible to it directly or indirectly,
openly or furtively.
you have, nevertheless, as presi-
dental candidate, repeatedly promised
during the campaign, and, as president,
you have reiterated that promise, that
you will seek to establish an associa-
ton Of nations based upon the appli-
cation Of justice and right, binding us
in conference and cooperation for the
prevention Of war and pointing the
way to a higher civilization and intor-
national fraternity in which all the
world might share.
you have not yet given the Ameri-
can people the slightest inkling Of the
terms Of this Harding Association that
you proposed shall supplant the Will
son league. Has not the time come,
respectfully ask you, to do this
