President-elect Harding's confer ences at Marion with the 'best minds, !" though by no means ended, seem al- ready to have resulted in the crystal Iizing of certain of his policies into definite form. Of course the two that arouse the greatest public interest are those relating to foreign affairs and the League of Nations, and to the plan for recognizing the nations business and establishing it on a more econom- ic basis.
 In discussing an association of na- lions, there is no evidence that Mir. Harding has converted to his own views such irreconcllables as Senators Borah and Reed, or even MT. Bryan, whose invitation to Marion aroused the ribald laughter of the paragraph CTS. But MT. Harding seems to have brought his theories into form fit for presentation to the world. According to what is said to be authoritative in- formation, he believes the first ap- proach to the formation of his "asso- citation of nations" should be to Ob- tain the assent of the five leading na- tiOns, the United States, Great Britain, France, Italy and Japan, his theory being that, once these nations have Joined, the other nations will fall in line. The basis of this association is to be a world court to deal with justi- ciable questions.
 MT. Harding holds that no associa- ton of nations can succeed without the indorsement of the leaders of pulp lie thought, in America and elsewhere, and that these leaders must reach agreement in the essentials, leaving details to be settled later; that all governing features must be eliminated from the association, each nation re- maining free to make its own de- cisions; that the agreement must be specific enough to prevent the possi- bility of an offensive and defensive military alliance of the five great powers, and the association of na- tions itself must place all nations on an equal footing in the presentation of their views on matters of world policy.

Although Trotzky was quoted re- gently to the effect that the soviet gov ernment of Russia was planning no further military operations and would turn all its energy toward economic reconstruction, late dispatches from Tifiis indicate that the Russian Bol- shevists are planning a campaign to wipe out the republic of Georgia. There are heavy concentrations of troops on the Georgian borders and in nearby ports of the Black sea, and a Bolshevist army that has been Operat- ing along the Armenian frontier is moving toward Georgia.
 The soviet government of Armenia has annulled all foreign loans, "espe- cially the American loan," according to a dispatch from Constantinople

ATHLETICS.

The w. II. S. baseball team, headed
by Squeak" Lyman, romped away
with the American Legion team at the
Acme field last Thursday by score
of II to 26. Lyman on the mound for
the high school had little trouble with
the Legionnaires, not even extending
himself; while "Bill" Tully, who OPP
posed him, got into trouble from the
very start when the high school
grabbed four runs off him in the first
inning. "The high school seems te
have some very promising candidates
for the team. The infeld is especially
strong; and the outfeld, although
weak in spots, shows great deal of
promise" Thus spoke Captain Lyman
after Thursdays slaughter.

Someone In House. At Central Tuesday

Just how far modern police methods have eclipsed the efforts of the de- tective of fiction will be shown on the screen for the first time in Some one in the House., the Metro special all-star production which comes to the Central theatre Tuesday and Wednes day and Eagle theatre Thursday.
 John Ince, directing the production, has used all of the methods of crook trailing advocated by police officials in the unravelling Of the crime mys tery pictured in this production.
 In the telling of the story every phose of New York life from the mysterious haunts of the underworld to luxurious summer home on Long Islands faithfully reproduced. To accomplish this it was necessary to bring shrubbery, flowers and even trees to the Metro studio grounds at Hollywood, California, from the east, in order to provide the necessary background of New York and Long Island verdure.
 The great studio lots at Hollywood were converted into country place with spacious home that might have been lifted from it's resting place on the shores of Long Island Sound From the automobile approaches ill the front of the walled-in formal gar den in the rear, not detail has been overlooked.

WEEKLY STATEMENT

NEW YORK, Aug. 27. - Deflation of values in the securities market at- tained more impressive dimensions this week, when nearly forty differ ent stocks broke into new low terri tory for the year. The political ele- ment figured in the weeks develop ments. Banking and business inter- ests expressed disappointment at fail ure of congress to formulate definite policies regarding railroads, tariff and taxation before recessing. {
 Rails were least affected and many. excellent July statements of earnings were submitted pronounced diminiu- Cion, however, of the recent demand for bonds and high grade stocks were generally attributed to absence of leg islative relief.
 Increase of production from early August low levels was reported in many basic industries. The notable exception was furnished by the steel and iron trade, where further reduU- tion of price and wage schedules eX- erted little influence.
 Additional expansion of federal bank reserves and steady inflow or gold strengthened the impression that the final quarter of the year was like ly to briig another reduction of redis- counts and interest rates. Well in formed bankers believed, however, that the attitude of the federal re- serve board in this connection, hinges on further liquidation of grain and cotton bills at western and southern points.
 Discussion of the foreign exchange situation revolved around Germany's additional separations payment next week. In round figures, these were estimated at $100,000,000, half of which may. be deposited here, the bal ance going to London.
