PERSH|NG WILL BE GIVEN POST
 COMMENSURATE
 WITH HIS RANK
tRepublican A. p. Leased wire]

WASHINGTON, April 5-Secretary Weeks statement that he would shortly announce a detail to duty for General Pershing commensurate with his rank," has caused considerable interest and speculation in the war repartnent Several possible assign ments for the general, whose rank as general of the army places him above any routine detail, have been dis cussed by officials, it was said to- day.
 It has been rumored he would re- tire to accept a diplomatic post. prob ably that of Ambassador to Japan to succeed Roland Morris. whose resig- nation President Harding accepted. It is understood this would be the most acceptable diplomatic post Gen. eral Pershing could be offered. His service three years ago as military attache would tend to qualify him for the position, it iias been pointed out. Another diplomatic post mentioned is Paris but it is believed that if given his choice he would prefer Tollio.
 On the other hand many army of ficers believe General Pershing will either be made chief of staff to suc- ceed Major General Peyton c. March, or that Secretary Weeks will seek rom congress leS1SlatlOn placing the army on a field basis with him as general of the army at the head of the organization. In that event, it was pointed out, the general would have chief of staff exactly as he had, Major General Harbord as his principal assistant and chief of staff in directing the A. E. F. during the war
 Another assignment frequently mentioned in connection with General Pershing is that of governor general of the Philippines but it is not be- ] l1eved such detail would be ac- i ceptable to him.
 A tour of the world as an envoy i extraordinary similar to the tours made by other allied leaders after
 the war also has been mentioned. 1 General Pershing has never
 preached the subject of retirement tc
 the new administration as far as car
 be learned. More than a year ago
 in letter to Secretary Baker, he
 indicated his desire to go on the re. 1 portant duties on which he was en.
 gagged. Most of those duties are com. | pleted
 Under the law the general may re.
 tire at any time with full pay ant
 allowances of his rank amounting tt
 about $21,000 a year.

Association of Nations First Consideration; May Use Peace Resolution As European Lever
Republican A. p. Leased Wirel

WASHINGTON, April 5.-What- ever may be the expectations of Re publican senators who want an early declaration of peace with Germany, 1t was made known authoritatively today President Harding had not thrown the influence of his adminis- tration behind the movement, but was inclined to look with diSapproval on any prospect of precipitate action
 It was revealed that the president had not committed himself to any definite program, though he was said to be leaning more and more to belief that the Versailles covenant cannot in any practical way be used now as basis for his association of nations He is canvassing the situa- tion in the light of information and advice which has come to him, and although a part of his program may be decided soon. it probably will be many weeks before 1t is revealed en- tirely. In his consideration of the peace resolution which some of the senate leaders want to press to an early passage, in the special session of congress convening Monday. MT. Harding is understood to have held that in the settlement of so import ant question the nation must pro ceed with care. It is said he has not withdrawn the approval he gave the resolution when he supported it in the last congress, but IS cOnVlnced that the situation does not require haste so much as painstaking delib- eration.
 There have been indications that the adminis.ration would consider itself in a.. better position to make advances for an association of na- tions if the peace declaration were delayed. Intima tions have come to officials that some leading allied statesmen would consider passage of the measure great handicap in the negotiations for a peace concert, weakening the position of the Ameri- can government with its former as- sociates in the war and making them less susceptible to American sug- gestions.
 It has been hinted to the president by some advisers that, like the out standing war debt, pending resolu- tion of peace might be used as lever to bring the allied governments into accord with the proposals of the gov ernment.
 At a dinner last night some sen- ators are understood to have in formed NJ yiviani of France that his government need not hope a peace declaration would be long delayed. They plan to bring the measure quickly into the program of the spe- cial session and they express confi- dence that it will be adcptad quick ly. There has been no indication that the president would make an open light to delay action, but what he says in his message will be studied carefully, for delicate shades oi meaning and the impression he con yevs is expected to have much weight with many Republican senators.

Ambition To Rule Passion Of Former
 Austrian Emperor

Charles the Hapsburg, became ruler of Austria Hungary through a fortuitous circumstance. He was born the son of a younger nephew of old Emperor Francis Joseph, whose only son was murdered.
 Archduke Franz Ferdinand, next heir, was assassinated. His mar riage was morganatic and his chil- dren could not succeed to the throne.
 Charles father, Archduke Otto. had become mentally unbalanced. Thus Charles ascended to the throne upon Francis Joseph's death. That was late in 1916. Charles was 29
 His wife was Princess Zita, direct descendant of the French BourbonS. Her sympathies were with the allies. So were her mothers.
 THAT PEACE NOTE
 In 1917 Emperor Charles sent a note to Prince Sixtus,. his brother in-law, who wss a captain in the Belgian army. The note admitted the justice of Francss claim to Al sace-Lorraine.
 Charles rerudiated the note when the Austrian people protested H laid the blame for ths note to his mother n-law who left the royal l palace.
 Charles was deposed late in 1918. He has lived since at a/beautiful l chateau on the shores of Lake Ge- neva, Switzerland. His wife and five children went with him. A sixth child was recently born. 1 Charles lived in luxury at his Swiss | palace, although he was reported to | be bankrupt Trusted messengers | kept him constantly in touch with | friends in the present government at Budapest. He constantly met mon- archist plotters.
 | He was and is a Hapsburg. To | rule is the dominating passion of his l life. He has never referred to him l self as an "ex-emperor.' He never abdicated-he just fled. Now he is 1 attempting a comeback
 MANY WANT JOSEPH The Hungarian aristocrats who
 form the upper crust of society want ' a royal ruler. Most of them prefer 1 Charles.
 | The middle class who outnumbeT i the aristocrats, also want royal I sovereign-but many of them prefer
 Archduke Joseph to Charles. 1 Joseph is preferable to them be- cause he was long a resident oi French colonies and has been a ire I quent visitor to London. They be- lieve he could gain the friendship ot
 
 their friendship he would be expected
 to obtain material relief for the ex- ; treme poverty of the nation. Charles is opposed because he is believed to be friendly to a rebinding
 of the Austrian and Hungarian gov ernments.

chased in London for five dol

Just fancy being able to pur-
chase a wooden dress over here
for five dollars.
But. on second thought, il
is better not to do any fancy

a jolt when the Americanized
