for Lieut.. EdUord Isaocs.

WASHINGTON. Feb. 11.-A dramatic
appeal to the House to reward the heroic
war exploit of Lieut.. Edward Isaacs.
u. s. ~. who stepped forward in
another mans place to become n
prisoner aboard a German submarine
after his ship, the President Lincoln. had
been torpedoed, was made to-day bv
Representative Eagle. Democrat. Texas.
The speaker said Isaacs's record would
stand out as one OF the daring feats of
the world war.
When the submarine captain de-
manded an officer prisoner" said Mr..
Eagle. 1saacs walked forth and an
nounced that his commander, Percy w.
Foote, now aid to the Secretary OF the
Navy probably had perished and he was
ready 70 go. For eleven days while a
captive OF the U-boat he learned facts
about the German navy's plan of opera-
tons which were OF the utmost impor-
tance to the allied fleet"
With this in mind he ESCAPED at the
risk OF his life. Mr.. Eagle continued.
and was so badly wounded and beaten
that now at the age OF % he is physi-
cally unable to stay in the Navy.
Congress should retire him with the
rank of Captain. not as a Lieutenant >

NEW ITALIAN ENVOY
FOR U. S. SHIP PACT
Ambassador Ricci Sees Need
for Combining Interests on
Ocean Transportation.

Rolandi Ricci. the new Italian Ambas-
sador to the United States. arrived yes
terday by the Royal Italian Mail liner
Duca d'Aosta and was greeted fervently
at the pier by italian diplomats business
men and by State Senator Salvatore A.
Cotilo, who welcomed him in the name
OF the city OF New York in an address
in English. which the Ambassador speaks
with fluency. Following a custom re-
Gently established. Ambassador Ricci
had a typewriter statement ready for
the reporters when they boarded the
ship at Quarantine, In which he mingled
jocular remarks with grave announce
ments. The Ambassador deviated from
the cut and dried self-intervlew by Civ
ing brief autobiography in the opening
remarks thus :.
When / have told you that / am 61
years old. that l am a Genoese, that I
have practiced commercial law for forty
years, that l have been Senator nine
years, that my beard is white. that my
hair and mustache are darkish gray
and that my eyes are gray. i have told
you all about myself"
After paying tribute to the greatness
and power OF America the Ambassador
spoke optimistically of the progress OF
his own country. He referred to the
tAcSAIlSdA lNQu6liy ol Italy d5 one Oh
its greatest assets, and suggested that
American capital and industry might
find in IL a common interest and collab-
Grafton with Italian initiative"
Signor Ricci suggested that '.Ameri-
can initiative should take part in the
search for petroleum in Italy. and still
more in the installation of plants in
Italian ports for the discharging and
distribution of imported petroleum and
its products by means Of pipe lines and
accessories to the districts OF consump-
ton"
The Ambassador said he believed 1t
would be necessary to combine Ameri-
can and Italian interests for carrying
on the industry of ocean transporta-
tion. IF news already published about
certain combinations of shipping inter
ests are correct" he said. II believe 1t
would be successful and convenient for
American and Italian interests to foster
the combination for commercial opera
ton of q fleet OF steamships OF suitable
size whereby the excess OF American
tonnage and the abundance of skilled
personnel of the Italian marine could
work for each others benefit. / hope
this subject will receive the most favor
able attention OF Italian and American
ship owners"
The Ambassador and his party. in

Commissioner here went to the Ritz
Carlton. where they will stop several
days before going to Washington.

Value of Secret Testimony.

Senator Poindexter minimized the i'm
portance of the secret testimony and
said it contained nothing that had not
been discussed before. He reminded
Senator Borah that both he and the
General Board as we'll as the Naval
Affairs Committee were for an efficient
navy II it were necessary for safety,
the difference being chiefly as TO what
constituted efficiency" He argued
that the board was better qualified
than either Senator Borah or the SEN
ate to know what constitutes a well
balanced navy. as that is the subject
to which they have given lifelong study.
Mr. Poindexter also pointed out that
the Naval Affairs Committee favors
international agreements for disarma-
ment. but only on equal terms.
Enlarging on the opinion that the
capital ship Is necessary TO well bal
anced navy, Senator Poindexter en-
phasized that submarines and airplanes
are not being neglected by the General
Board.

Poindexter said. 1.-The mine barrage
could not have been laid in the North
Sea, our troops could not have been
transported to the European front, the
German fleet could not have been
bottled up and Great Britain could not
have fed herself. For any nation 70
abandon the capital ship would mean
that that nation would be compelled 10
haul down its flag at every one OF us
outlying and island possessions.
Senator Lodge (Mass) commended the
defence of the naval report by Senator
PoindeXter.

Senator Poindexter admitted this had
been touched in the executive hearings
before the committee ana that the testi-
mony would be available TO Senator
Borah. but ought not TO be made public.
Senator Borsh said German officials had
been ssnt out of the country for inter-

the subject the public was entitled 10 It.

Senator Brandegee. "If the propaganda

Special Despatch to THE NEW York lIERALp.
ST. AUGUSTINE, Feb. 11.-Cabinet ap-
pontments, emergency legislation and
Inaugural plans. all were included in
the matters that We're brought to
President-elect Harding's attention
when he took up work early to-day.
Before the forenoon was half spent
he had listened to an appeal for chem
ercy for Eugene V. Debs, and had
given an hours consideration to sug
gestions laid before him concerning
the State Department. Between times
ne saw the Spanish Ambassador. par
took OF a hurried luncheon on the
balcony adjoining his suite, made more
appointments for tomorrow, played a
round OF golf and then met Mrs.
Harding, who arrived in the late after
noon from Washington.
During the day Mr. Harding let it
no known that he expects within the
next few days TO have conference
with Charles T.. Hughes. who. tenta-
lively at least has been selected as
Secretary of State. Mr. Hughes will
he here early next week TO discuss
international relationships. His def
mite selection as Secretary OF State is
expected to follow
Harding's Announcement.
In announcing the forthcoming ar
rival of the New York jurist Mr.. Har-
ding took occasion to say he hoped his
visitor would find his stay in Florida
pleasant. TO the newspaper men Mr.
Harding remarked;
Mr. Hughes Is coming. You may in
terpret the fact az you Will / intend
70 do what ] can 10 make his visit
pleasant
Another visitor expected whose name
also has been closely linked with fore
casts OF the Cabinet personnel is Charles
o. Dawes, Chicago banker. who until
short time ago was believed to be
Mr.. Harding's choice for Secretary of
the Treasury. Mr.. Dawes is in Florida
on a visit to his brother. While his
presence in the neighborhood may be
something OF a coincidence he is conf
inf 10 see Mr.. Harding at the latter's
request.
Mr.. Harding Is known TO entertain
the highest regard for the Illinois mans
ability as n financier, and his coming
has revived speculation whether he may
be Mr.. Hsrding's choice for the Treas
ury portfolio. Notwithstanding the pre-
ponderance of opinion that Andrew T.
Mellon OF Pittsburg will be Secretary
ot the Treasury. Il was very definitely
stated by some of Mr.. Harding's callers
to-day that no final tender OF this
position has been made. and that both
Mr.. Mellon and Mr. Dawes are yet pos
sibiIities.
There IL no expectation OF an early

announcement of any OF Mr.. Harding's
Cabinet selections, and it is most prob
able that the entire list will be made
public in a single announcement TO be

the inauguration ceremony.
Under Secretary of state.
Announcement by Mr.. Harding than
Mr.. Hughes would be here takes on ad-
ditional significance from the fact that
Mr.. Harding to-day indicated TO some
Of his callers his belief that the Under
Secretaryshp of State in his administra-
.tion should he made moro dignified
and important post than heretofore, and
that its incumbent should be'a man fully
qualified to discharge the function Of the
premier Cabinet officer.
This idea was emphasized to Mr. Har-
cling by John Barrett, former Director
General of the Pan-American Union, and
It met with Mr.. Hardlng's complete
agreement. In the discussion the name
OF DR.. David Jayne Hill, former Ambas-
sador to Germany, who himself has en-
joyed strong support for the Secretary
ship, came UP. Mr.. Harding was in en-
tire sympathy with the suggestion that a
man of diplomatic experience and "a
broad and accurate knowledge of inter-
Under Secretary. DR.. Hills selection
therefore, would be no surprise in the
event Of Mr.. Hughes's appo intment.
In statement following his confer
ence with Mr. Harding Mr.. Barrett said :
Mr.. Harding regards with favor the
proposal for the settlement for the prin-
cipal problem in our Pan-American re-
lations. such as those with Mexico, CO.
lombia. the Dominican Republic, Hayti
and Nicaragua, on basis of absolute
Justice and fairness to all concerned"
Woman Pleads for Debs.
Mrs. William II. FELTON,. S. of Car
tersvllle, Ga. was another Of Mr.
Harding's callers to-day. She came
representing. she told Mr.. Harding, the
independent and anti-administration
Democrats of her own State who wished
TO see Debs pardoned and amnesty ac-
corded other so-called political prison.
ers Mr.. Harding said he enjoyed his
talk with her
Ambassador Riano Of Spain, who was
going through ST. Augustine. called on
Mr. Harding as a matter of courtesy.
Another caller was Col. Webb Hayes
of Fremont Ohio. son of President
Hayes, who came to talk with Mr..
Harding and Senator Wadsworth about
army reorganization.
Mr.. Harding qualified to-day as a
regular golfer by playing the sixth hole
on the st. Augustine links in a par
four. The hole is $50 yards and par
golf demands that a player clear a
long stretch of swamp on his second
stroke and land his ball on the green.
Manufacturers OF golf balls regard the
swamp hazard as hot stuff for their
business. It's the sportiest hole on the
sportiest links In the Southern golfing
country.
Mr. Hardings drive from the tee was
about 200 yards. His second with an
iron cleared the swamp. After short
approach he holed a ten foot putt. He
was still chuckling about it when he
left TO meet Mrs. Harding.

MAY MAKE JEST BOOK.

In calling for an authentic jest-book wherein all current anecdotes, from Joe Miller down to our latest racon- teurs, shall be duly credited to their original perpetrators, Brander Mat thews seeks to fill a longfelt want. As the professor says, it rarely hap pens that good joke is credited to the person who originally uttered it. And he might have added that a great many nasty jokes are credited up to sundry eminent persons who were nev- CT guilty of perpetrating them. For instance, when a festive raconteur ventures to tell a shady story that he doesn't want to be responsible for himself he usually attributes it to Daniel Webster or Abraham Lincoln An authentic jest-book might serve to correct this imposition.
