ACCEPTANCE OF THE LEAGUE
WOULD BE BETRAYAL OF
PU6LIc'S FAITH.
RRECONClLABLES REJOICE
President Declares for Internal Reve-
nue. Revision and Necessity for
Lowering Cost of Transpor-
taton in U. s.

Washington.-Fina rejection of the
Versailles league of nations by the
American government has been pro-
claimed to the world by President
Harding in a solemn pronouncement
OF the foreign policies of his admins
tration.
Speaking before the new congress,
assembled to write a programme of
political and economic reconstruction,
the president declared acceptance of
the league would be nothing short Of
betrayal of the mandate of the No
yember elections. Instead, he asked
for congressional declaration of
peace, and for ratification of those
portions of the Versailles treaty which
protect specifically American rights
and interest in the war settlement.
In the existing league of nations,
world governing with it's super-powers
this republic will have no part he
said. 1T is only fair to say to the
world in general, and to our asso
ciates in war in particular, that the
league covenant can have no sane
tion by us"
The declaration was answered by a
tremendous demonstration in which
Republican senators and representa-
tives led, while most of their Demo
cratic colleagues sat silent and an
smiling. After weighing the words of
the. chief executive the senatorial
group of treaty irreconcilabIes We're
claiming a complete victory, predict
ing that even the portions of the treaty
endorsed by Mr.. Harding never would
receive Senate approval
In his recommendation for domes-
tic legislation, the president gave
greatest attention to tariff and tax re-
vision and to the railway situation,
though he endorsed a list of lesser
measures which congressional leaders
declared might prolong the special
session until the snow flies. He also
took occasion in his address of nearly
an hour to declare his faith in a main
tained merchant marine and in the
principle of armament reduction with
out asking for legislation on either
subject.
Declaring that rates and operating
expenses of the railroads must be
lowered, Mr.. Harding asked that Con-
gress investigate the whole transpor
tation problem. He recommended CO.
ordination of all government agencies
dealing with former service men,
strengthening of the federal laws af
fecting highway construction and
maintenance. enactment of budget
legislation, and a congressional in
quiry into lynching and race relations

ASSOCIATION OF NATIONS COULD

FIRST ADDRESSTOCONGR
Would Approve a "DecIaratory Reso-
luton" BY Congress with Qualifi-
cations Essential to Protect All Our
Rights" Which Would End Techni-
cal State of War With Central.
Powers.

Washington Harding in
his first address to congress announced
that he would approve 'declaratory
resolution" by congress with qualifi-
cations essential to protect all our
rights" which would end the 'techni-
cal state of war against the central
powers of Europe"
The president added, however, that
'it would be idle to declare for sepa-
rate treaties of peace with the CEN
trail powers on the assumption alone
that these would be adequate, be-
cause the situation is so involved
that our peace engagements can not
ignore the old world relationships
and the settlements already effected,
nor is it desirable to do so in preserv-
ing our own rights and contracting our
future relationships"
An association of nations, the pres
ident said could not be founded un-
til the world was at peace"

New York.-A suppressed police re-
pert that has come to light tells OF the
robbery by three holdup men Of the
cash registers of United Cigar Store
at No. 544 Columbia avenue, corner of
seth street. The loot amounted to
S4O4.39
The holdup men entered the store,
seized James Horton, the clerk, and
hustled him to back room. Two OF
the bandits then bound and gagged
Horton while the third, discarding his
hat. waited on customers. Because of
the Interruptions caused by the GUS
toners it took the robber ten minutes
to transfer the money in the cash reg
lister to his pockets.

Doom, Holland.-Former Empress
Augusta Victoria of Germany, is dead.
By strange coincidence the end came
just one year after she suffered her
first serious attack of heart disease.
1t was while she was preparing TO
center tie house Of Doom, tlap r. ent
home of the former emperor of Ger
many, after her long residence at
Amerongen, that she was stricken
with what at the time was believed
to be a fatal attack. That was on
April II, 1920. For a few days there
were reports that her death was mo-
mentarily expected, but she rallied,
and accompanied her husband to
Doom on May Is last
Attacks of her fatal malady re-
Cured at different intervals, each
sapping her vitality and nullifying the
measures taken by specialists to re-
store her health. When her son,
former Prince Joachim, committed
suicide in Berlin last July, she was in
such serious condition that the news
of his death was kept from her for a
long time, and it is said that she never
learned her son killed himself
Late last autumn the former em-
press condition gradually became
worse, and ON several occasions her
children were called to Doom, but
her strength was such that she raj
lied bravely when the end was be-
neved imminent Since the first of
the year it had been known that she
was gradually sinking.
The death came as shock to the
dwellers in Doom Castle

Berlin.-The former Kaiser William
Hohenzollern will not enter Germany
on the occasion of his wifes burial at
Potsdam. Dispatches from his resi-
dence at Doom, in Holland, seem defi-
nitely to show this is the final decision
of the exiled emperor.
Only few weeks ago, when the
death of the kaiserin momentarily was
expected, the former kaiser, it is said,
planned to accompany her body to the
imperial tombs near Berlin. The mon
archists were preparing great dem
onstration to exploit the mourning of
the people for the return Of the throne.
The return Of King Constantine to
Greece gave them their main assur-
ance.
Since that time. however, the for
mer Emperor Charles has been driven
out of Hungary under the determined
pressure OF the people and of the en-
tente, while Constantine himself is
none too sure of his place Moreover,
the Dutch government has notified the
former kaiser that if he leaves Hol-
land he will not be permitted to
return.

Carried Guns Open.

The past week, which consti-
tuted five days of open terror to
cartridges, and five days of sport
to the fellow who loves to pit his
quickness against a bird that is
more his equal, shows up several
brands of poor sports and a
mighty big bunch of just plain
liars. For instance take the fell
low who carried his gun in his
car all ready to shoot. He was
violating and he generally knew
it. And the best part about it
is that none of these birds were
pinched, so far as can be learned.
And it is stated that there were
men who are officers of the law
who carried their guns openly.
Then on the other hand take the
fellow who tells you that he OBJ
served the law-kept his gun in
case, and quit when the five birds
were killed. And at the same
time the side door of his car was
broken off by a companion who
rode on it. Funny way to ride
if guns were encased. When you
hear some of these fellows talk
loud and long of how good they
were, just put it down that either
they failed to carry a knock-down
gun or failed to ride in the seat
of the auto instead of the door.
Sometimes a fellows foot slips
and he goes over the fence, but
he isn't telling you how good he
was and he wasn't an official
either.
