 EX-COACH NICKALLS

crews committed, are Bones men, and it was a case of firing their coach to run things themselves I'm out, that's all there is to it, but don't say that I resigned. They ought to have given me a chance to make good with this crew. I believe in 1t and I be- heve we have a good chance to beat Harvard. I was willing to do any thing necessary to carry the crew through the Harvard race"
 Hord is captain of the Yale crew.

Tap day, the day on which Yale juniors are elected to senior so- cieties, was the next day.

New Haven, June 7-With the em- phatic statement that tits a damned He,' Guy Nickalls, up to last night Yale's rowing coach, tossed a bomb shell among the members of the uni versity athletic board of control this afternoon in commenting on the re- port that he had resigned as coach. Nickalls declared with all the en- phaSiS at his command that the man who said he had resigned was a, liar.
 ''Pm no quitter,'' the big English man said, ''and when Prof. Wendell says that I resigned, he lies. He knows he lies and the whole outfit that said I had resigned knows bet ter.
 DO you mean that the statement printed this morning that your resig- nation had been offered and accepted is not true?" reporters asked him.
 ''I mean just that,'' he replied. '"They tried to get me to resign, and I would not. I wanted to see this Yale crew beat Harvard. I wanted to stay, but inside Yale politics, so- cfety politics, bounded me out"
 When asked for something more explicit than t'inside Yale politics. ,'' Nickalls declared that the real req son for his getting out was Skull and Bones, the influential senior society.

dent Harding told officers at the Army
War College here.
Armies and navies probably will al
ways be necessary, he said, no matter
how far aspirations toward world
peace lead.
The President blamed lack of un-

solve many ills.
Practically every high officer of the
army was present in the small lecture
room of the War College when the

Weeks and General Pershing also
spoke briefly.

Harding said.

SPEEDY ACTION EXPECTED
President Hopes Senate And Reich

Commercial Relations.

Washington.-The treaty of peace
with Germany will be sent to the Sen
ate September 21, the day that Con-
gress reassembles after it's 30-day re-
cess, it was announced at the White
House.
Prompt ratification Of the pact is
understood to be hoped for by Presi-
dent Harding. While the Senate leg.
islative program as outlined at the
time last weeks recess was taken
called for enactment of revenue or
tariff legislation Immediately upon re-
assembling and then for action on the
railroad debt funding bill, several Sen
ate leaders expressed the belief that
an early place could be found on the
program for the treaty.
Proclamation Of a state of peace, it
was said officially, will be deferred un-
til after the German treaty is ratified.
1t was furthermore made known that
various agencies of the Government
were studying steps considered neces-
sary to bring about the full restoration
Of commercial relations between the
two countries after ratification of the
treaty.
Members of the Foreign Relations
Committee, to which the treaty will be
referred upon it's submission, were
made acquainted with its details by
Secretary Hughes, and this fact, to-
gether with the opportunity afforded
for study during the recess, is counted
upon in Administration quarters to
work for speedy action.
Statements have been made by Ad-
ministration officials that it was de-
sired that the Senate and German.
Reichstag consider the treaty stimuli
taneously. The German legislative
body is scheduled to meet September
27, five days after the Senate resumes
it's session and about the time the,
Senate leaders expect the treaty to be
