RUFFLED SENATORS

The irrecopcilable senators, who a
Few days ago were considering the
advisability of making a group dem
onstration Of opposition to the ad-
ministration over the presence of
american observers in the European
league OF nations meetings. have
abandoned. for the present at least,
any act Of insurgency. They were
very much wrought up for the time
being over the designation of the
American unofficial participants and
held numerous conferences
1t was found impracticable to Sc
cure unanimfty on a proposition that
a group should issue statement of
protest. and equally difficult to Sc
the burden alone. Feelers were put
in administration circles. among men
who are supposed to be in sympa-
thetic touch with sentiments held by
the irreconcilables, developing the
advice to keep hands off for the pres
ent and let the situation work itself
out
Assurances were given that the ir-
reconcilables were unduly alarmed
over the possible consequences of the
action of the administration in this
case. and it was indicated that the
steps which might justify the irrecon-
cilables in the apprehension that the
administration is contemplating de-
parting radically from it's announced
purpose not to engage actively in
strictly European affairs.
President Harding. II is said, has
no thought nor purpose of proposing
any course which will ALLEVIATE from
the administration the irreconcilables.
He is still intent upon maintaining
harmony among all republican sena-
tors upon foreign and other policies,
and will not be the one to give occa-
sion to any faction to break openly
with the administration nor set a
group in apparent or seeming opposi-
tion.
1t is realized by the administration,
1t is said. that the irreconcilables are
suspicious Of any move that looks
like even indirect recognition Of the
existence of the league of nations or
possible utilization Of the treaty Of
Versailles, and their uneasiness is un-

Mr.. hruttschnitt was asked by the
chairman whether the operation OF
the transportation act could be re-

brother of Frank Joseph Godsoll, also
known as Goldsoll, shot and fatally

The man was sitting at desk at the
time. The bullet entered the mouth
and lodged behind the left ear.

ested in steel construction and real
estate.
The man left on the desk before
him two notes. One was addressed to
his wife. The other was pcnned to
Frank J. Godsoll, a guest at the Ritz,
and according to the management. a
brother Of Louis II. Goldsoll. On the

KANSAS CITY, Nov. 1.-America's
army of peace, $4,000 of her sturdy
sons and daughters who served the
colors in the World War, once again
donned their fighting clothes to-day
and passed In review before five of the
worlds most famous military men.
The veterans were members of the
American Legion, here for their third
annual convention. and their reviewing
officers were their distinguished
guests-Ferdinand Foch. Marshal of
France; General John j. Pershing,
commander Of the American Expedi-
tionary Forces; General Armando Wit
torio Diaz, savior of Italy's armies;
Admiral Earl Beatty, of England, and
General jacques, defender of Belgium.
To-day these distinguished soldiers
saw their former comrades in arms,
more than two years in the mufti,
sweep by with the same splendid dis
cipline and the same spirit which
marked their conduct during the great
war.
When the parade started it was led
by the noted military men, who fol-
lowed closely behind the band of the
Sanford Brown Jr. Post, Of this city.
Color Guard for Each
As each of the guests alighted from
his motor at the reviewing stand, after
having received demonstration along
the line of march, he was preceded to
the stand by color bearers with the
Stars and Stripes and the flag Of his
own Country.
linn ediately following them came the
medal Of honor men, veterans who had
been awarded the Congressional medal
for gallantry in action. Then came the
wounded, in motor cars, one of which
was a grim reminder of the plight of
thousands Of the men whose comrades
made merry. It was motor float on
which machine gun had been mount
ed At the nluZzle of the gun hung O
skull with sign bearing the legend:
"He did his bit for you. Do yours
In the line Of march directly follow
ing came the state delegations in al
phabetical order. The Missourians
turned out the largest contingent, with
Iowa close second. New York's 231
marchers were received with acclaim
throughout the parade. They were
led by State Commander Deegan and
made splendid appearance with over
seas caps of red, white and blue, bear
ing the name Of their state.
G. A. R. Fife and Drum Corps
One feature of the parade caused
the hundreds Of thousands of specta-
tors to pause in their jubilation. Five
aged veterans Of the G. A. R., two of
them playing flies and one a drum,
walked slowly by. General Pershing
raised his hat and the other military
leaders did likewise.
Earlier in the day General Pershing
and Marshal Foch had been guests of
the Legion at the convention, where
each made an address to the delegates.
Then with the other Allied commanders
they helped to dedicate war m lemorial.
