Holy See, However, Is in Accord
With President Harding's At
titude, Vatican Announces.
BY International New. Service.

Although the Pope in in accord
with President Harding's attitude on
disarmament there will be no at
tempt at papal participation in the
coming disarmament conference, ac-
cording to a signed statement by
Monsignor Enrico Pucci from Rome.
published here today by the National
Catholic Welfare Council News Serv-
ice.
After outlining previous expression
on disarmament by the Pope dur
ing the World war. Monsignor Pucci
stated, latter four years the Holy
Sees opinion is unchanged"
"A hope, therefore, is fostered.'
the statement continued, that the
papal considerations may pervade the
conference proposed by President
Harding.
'The Holy See will maintain in the
future its past and present moral
attitude. But it will do no more,
and 1t will take no active part in the
conference proposed by President
Harding. 1t has been asserted that
His Holiness would publish docu-
ment about the conference. This is
not true. Unless new events occur
to change the situation, His Holiness
has no intention of publishing any
thing further about disarmament"
The statement of Monsignor Pucci
disclosed that the Pope, after his APP
peal to the warning powers on
August /. 1917. was prepared for
another move towards peace. A
second note set forth the views of
the Pope as favoring Suppression
of the practice of conscription" as
''the most feasible means of dlsarma,
ment."
Cardinal Gasparri was prepared to
make these views public in an inter.
view with an American newspaper,
Monsignor Pucci stated, when Presi.
dent Wilson's reply to the Pope S
note Of August /. 1917 was received
which was IAN answer admitting OF
no discussion of the Pope's peace
proposals."

YAP RIGHTS
Gl)AROED|N
NEW PACT
America Retains All Advantages
OF Versailles Agreement With
None of Liabilities.
BY DAVID M. CHURCH.
international News Service.

The United States and Germany
having entered into formal peace
treaty, President Harding and his
cabinet today are confronted with
the problem Of new and important
decisions.
The treaty of peace with Ger
many, published here last night,
discloses that all of the rights of
the United States in the Versailles
treaty are protected, while this
nation Is not bound by any of the
responsibilities of that pact. 1t
now remains for the President and
MS advisers to determine whether
they wish to accept any of the
responsibilities of the Versailles
pact.
Concludes Armistice.
The outstanding decision which. II
appears, must soon be made by the
PRESIDENT is with regard to the Ameri-
can Army OF Occupation in Germany.
Inese forces have been maintained in
Germany under the terms of the armi.
stlce entered into on November IL,
1919 The treaty just concluded also
concludes that armistice. Under the
present treaty the United States may
sun decide to maintain its forces in
Germany under the terms of the Yer.
sallles pact, but it is not bound to
do so.
May Maintain Army.
There has been considerable pres
sure from members of the Senate for
the recall of these troops, and 1t re.
mains for the President to decide what
course shall be followed. The United
states holds the right to keep the
troops there IL 1t desires, but under the
provisions of the treaty, 1t appears
that there is little advantage in keep
ing the American forces in Germany
Nevertheless, in army circles the opin-
lon prevailed today that the American
Army of Occupation would be main
tanned, although it might be very
greatly reduced.
Confirms zap Rights.
The treaty confirms all concessions
made by Germany in the Versailles
pact, and. therefore, Is a confirmation
of the right Of the United States to its
claims upon the Isle of -Yap. Girded
by this confirmation from Germany
i'm the zap concession, the United
States is in a position to push its claim
that the Pacific island be information
allied. for this nation does not recog-
nize the mandate handed over to ia
pan by the Supreme Council. What
steps in the zap controversy will fol-
low the signing of the German treaty
are still a matter of conjecture.
Resumption of diplomatic relations
with Germany, which becomes effec-
tive upon ratification of the treaty by
the Senate of the United States and
the German Reichstag. leaves for
President Harding the task of selec-
ton of an ambassador to Germany.
Though many names have been men
toned for this post, the ore most fire.
uuent!y heard in circles close to the
Administration is that of David Jayne
Hill.

Plight of the Water Power Commission

the work of the commission are being returned to the treasury unused be- cause congress, after making these ap- propriations failed to grant the legis- lative authority to use them.
 Up to June 30, 1921, there had been filed with the commission 229 applica- tions aggregating 14,675,OO0 horsepow- CT and affecting 33 states, the Dis trict of Columbia and Alaska. This amount Is 75 per cent greater than the entire water-power development of the United States today. The projects applied for vary in size from less than 100 horsepower up to the 100000 horsepower scheme of the Southern California Edison company on the Colorado river.

Between that date and July 1 final action has been taken on AT applications, 13 preliminary permits have been issued involving 1,075,0O0 horsepower, and 15 licenses involving 757,000 primary horsepower and 460,- GOO secondary horsepower, or a total of 1,217,0O0 horsepower, making an aggregate of 2S projects, involving 2,292 0O0 horsepower, or as much as was issued by all of the executive de partments during the ten years pre- ceding the passage of the water power act

IVY TASHINGTON.-It is common w talk that the human side of
 Warren G. Ha$ding is building Tor him popularity that was not fore seen when he became President. Whether he is a great statesman is still matter of debate, and one which time and events will have to prove, but there Is no shadow of doubt but that he has entrenched himself strongly in the hearts of the people of Washington, especially of the children of all ages. If he were candidate, says q writer in the Christian Science Monitor, he would doubtless be accused of using political wiles, but he is assured of his position for almost four years and yet every day he yields to some fresh demand for personal favor and adds to the sum of enjoyment by shaking hands with hundreds and conferring with scores of individuals.

There was ease and luxury on the one side and toll and misery on the other. There was no medium through which these extremes might be brought together and blended into a tolerable, stable existence for all.
 America has already gone far to- ward eliminating such extremes. There exists common ground on which all may meet.

The White House is open-it is the peoples house. That is fine, but of greater significance is it that the Pres ident is accessible to boys who want a swimming pool as well as to sena- tors and diplomatists. The secretaries are kept busy scribbling memoranda of representative who wants to pre- sent the son of a constituent; of an- other who seeks the Presidents influ- ence in saving local industry; of women who are seeking class legisla- tion; of man who wants to tell him about San Domingo; another about Alaska; of a delegation of Indians, another of Quakers, one of the African Methodist Episcopal church. The President decides that he can give one man five minutes; another must get on with two or three; he can't get rid of delegation or a committee under 10 or 15 minutes. A senior class from a high school or the or phans from a Masonic home must shake hands with the President, every one of them. Some of them will want to say something to him.
