to Be Keynote.
OF INAUGURAL SPEECH

OF INAUGURAL SPEECH

ST AUGUSTINE, Fla, Feb. IA
The plea that the nation forget the
anlmositieS and partisanship OF the
after-war period and put a shoulder
unstintingly to the wheel of recon-
struction is expected for the keynote
of Warren G.. Harding's message to
his fellow countrymen when he
comes in for the presidency.
Although the inaugural address is
still far from complete, it was learn
ed today that considerable work
had been done toward its prepara-
tion and the subject it is to cover
virtually had been selected. 1t is
understood it will be very brief and
will attempt no detailed discussion
of any of the problems awaiting So
luton.
One of the outstanding features
expected linked with an assurance
that during the next four years the
administration keep away from
meddling in relations with the busi-
ness world.
Detailed statement of taxation
policy which will be reserved until
congress had been called in special
session probably in April.
1t is believed Mr.. Harding VIII
touch on an international peace as
sociation and will pledge the incom-
ing administration to use its best
efforts for a peace agreement COM
patable with American aspirations.
There is expected also to be a
word for Mexico and the rest OF
Latin America.
For the present Mr.. Harding is
devoting little time to his document
and most of the new work of putting
his ideas into length will not be done
probably during the next week. Ht
has a heavy appointment list during
the next few days and by Saturday
will have heard the advice of severa
prominent leaders. including Charles
Evans Hughes. understood to be the
prospective secretary of state. Mr.
Harding is expected to reach st
Augustine Friday or Saturday.
Among those who had appoint
ments today was II. w. Lamont
partner in the Morgan Banking
House, who helped frame the f1nan-
cial section of the treaty of Versail-
les.
The purpose of the conference was
not revealed but it was presumed
that it related to various questions
of international financing.

Inspiring patriotic affairs of this

Rev. Mr.. Westcott took as his SUD
iect. the humorous side of Abraham

much had already been said ABOUT
the martyred president that il would
be a difficult task TO say something
new about him. The topic chosen
by the speaker touched responsive
chord in his audience and th>y were
made TO see Lincoln in q new light
There were four outstanding tea-
lures in the life of the emancipator,
the speaker said. they being his
noble character; his regard for the
rights of others. his devotion to this
country and his allegiance 10 COD.
Abraham Lincoln was lover OF

dent of human nature md was al
WAYS able to emphasize a certain
,oint by telling a story, Rev. West
colt said. Humor acted as a relaxa-
ton to the president during trying
times and helped him to pass many
crises. He was an optimist and did
not believe in the much used axiom,
"sing before seven. cry before ele-
ven." Lincoln was never too busy
to listen 10 a good story and he IL
turn used stories as weapons and to
put into a good humor those who
had come to him with 'chips on
their shoulders" the speaker said.
Mr.. Westcott told several of the
stories which are attributed TO -,b-
raham Lincoln. In closing he paid
high tribute TO the memory of this
great man.
Samuel G. Garretson was the other
speaker of the night. He was in
troduced by POSTMASTER Pickersgill
as being the only one present n the
hall who had looked upon the face
of Abraham Lincoln. Mr.. Garrett
son told of the review of. the Army
of the Potomac made by President
Lincoln on horsebae,s. at a critical
period of the civil war. He told of the

The importance Of this is the ex-
ample it sets to other Powers coming
to the conference. When China entered
the great war she obtained from her
creditors, the Allies, a postponement OF
payments Of the Boxer indemnity.
Large debts to Great Britain, France
and Belgium and other countries is the
result. China expects to be forced to
pay them. but they will face the situa-
ton in the coming conference of being
less generous to China than this coun-
try or of having to remit the claims to
the Boxer indemnity.
China has no extravagant eXpecta-
tions regarding the conference. All the
powers which sit in it except the United
States have territorial possessions in
China and spheres of influence there
All have more interests in common with
Japan than with the United States.
