all the generations of men have
been wont to bestow upon the no
bic woman, the un3elfish wife. the
devoted mother"

distinguished visitor, to the spirit
Of womanhOOd typified by her,
and to the national traditions
which lie behind her native Po-

among scientists in the age of SCI

the generation which sees woman
coming tardily into her own" said

an cXemplar Of liberty's Victories
in the generation wherein liberty
has won her crown of glory. In
doing honor to you we testify anew
our pride in the ancient friend
ships which have bound US to both
the country Of your adoption aud
that of your nativity.

HITCHCOCK RAPS

LONDON SPEECH
Nebraska Senator Brands 1t
AS a "DiSCreditabIe Per-

son Indecent" Says.

Washington, May 20.--Ambassa-
dor Harveys Pilgrims dinner adj
dress yesterday in London was de-
scribed today by Senator Hitch
cock, of Nebraska. leader in the
fight for the ratification of the
treaty of Versailles in the senate,
as "a discreditable performance"
Colonel Harvey evidently forgot
that he was speaking as the ambas-
sador for the United States said
Senator Hitchcock in a formal
statement. His address was filled
with improprieties. His attempt to
commit Hardihg's administration to
his own narrow and extreme views
on the league of nations may sue
coed. l shall be very much sur
prised however, if President Hard
ing gave him the authority to do
so. Neither the ambassador to
Great Britain nor the ambassador
to any other country is the one to
announce the foreign policy of the
United States"
Senator Hitchcock went on to
say that Colonel Harvey's filings
at former President Wilson were
indecent" and that Colonel Har-
'vev's analysis of the motives which
led the United States to enter the
war is a discreditable performance,
THAT analysis" he said, put
the United States on the lowest
possible level and seeks to be-
cloud. If not to besmirch, the great
record made by this nation in that
crisis Of the worlds history.
Colonel Harvey's description of
an Anglo American situation in the
vision of Britannia and Columbia
hand-in hand, for mutual benefit
hardly expresses the aspirations of
the American people"

SENATE DEBATE
DELAYS ACTION
ON NAVAL BILL
Measure Makes No Pro-
greSS Due to Controversy
Over Establishing a Pa
CifiC Coast Naval Base.

Washington, May 2O.-COntro-
versy over the proposed establish
ment of a new Pacific coast naval
base at Alameda, Calf, and for
suspending Charleston. s. c.. navy
yard improvements. again stalled
the $500,O0O.0OO naval appropria-
ton bill in the senate today in a
quagmire of debate. No votes
were taken, no progress was made,
except debate and the senate ad-
iourned until next Monday with
leaders hoping for passage Of the
bill early next week.
A Bipartisan Attack.
A bipartisan attack led by SEN
ators Robinson. democrat of Ar
kansas, and Borah. republican of
Idaho, was conducted against the
| Alameda project. 1t was contend
ed that the bilrs provisions APP
propriating $1.500.000 to begin
dredging and eXcavating for new
supply base and authorizing ac-
ceptance free to the government of
more than 500 acres of land near
Alameda, really contemplated
| scrapping the Mare island navy
yard and the expenditure Of from
100000 900 to $100,00O,0O0 for a
great general fleet base. Senator
Poindexter, republican of Wash
ington, in charge of the bill con-
tended that merely a small supply
base was contemplated at present
and that congress could refuse fur
Their appropriations for a fleet base.
ScctiCnalism Is Charged.
The Charleston, S. c., project
was the subject of an address by
Senator Smith, democrat of South
Carolina who charged sectional
ism in naval appropriations. Urg-
ing the senate to reconsider it's re-
cent vote ordering suspension Of
work on the Charleston dry dock
and channel until 1924. he asserted
that greatly disproportionate ex-
penditures had been made on the
500 miles of Atlantic coast north
of Cape Hatteras to the 1000 miles
Of coast line to the south.
+ Forces opposing the Alameda
provisions expressed confidence to-
night that they would be stricken
from the bill but leaders support
ing the committee recommended
lions appeared as confident of re-
tanning them. Whether Senator
Smiths fight for expenditures at
the Charleston yard would be
fruitful also was in doubt. Repub-
lican leaders were said TO be con-
sidering restoration of some pro-
vision for Charleston.
