HARDING's PLANS INDEFINITE
President.EIect Says Cabinet and A.
ISOLATION Of Nations Both Uncertain.

4. 8octAtton OF Nations Both Uncertain,
st. Augustine, Fla.-While the cab
met problem Is taking on new elements
Of uncertainty, President-elect Harding
let it be known that his plans for in
ternational peace and disarmament also
are fur from definite formulation.
Taking note of published reports that
a disarmament conference would be
called early in the new administration,
Mr.. Harding said he had made no such
plans. although the idea fitted in with
his general scheme for an association
Of nations. It was a feature of the
problem, he added, to which he would
give no specific attention until he came
into the presidency and was formally
advised as to the status of diplomatic
relations with other powers.
Late cabinet developments concern
chiefly Charles G. Dawes and Frank o.
Lowden, both of Illinois, and mentioned
for the position of secretary Of treas
ury and secretary of navy, respectively.
Mr.. Dawes spent more than an hour
in consultation with Mr.. Harding re-
Gently, and afterward refused to an
swer any questions about cabinet pros.
poets.

GRAFTON Of Armament Questions
In House, Though Fireworks
Are Expected This Week.

Washington.-The house accepted
without comment the provision for re-
ducing the enlisted strength of the
navy from $4,000 to 100000 men after
July i.
During consideration of the naval
appropriation bill no objection was
raised to the section providing funds
sufficient only for force of 100000
during the coming fiscal year.
It ELECTED neither criticism nor
friendly comment and remained in the
bill intact.
Clauses providing for reduction Of
the marine corps personnel from mp
proximately $1,000 to 10000 men and
for an appropriation Of $9O,OOO,OOO to
carry on the 1916 building program Of
the navy during the next fiscal year,
probably will be reached this week.
Chairman Kelley of the subcommit-
tee which drafted the bill said he ex-
pected field day of oratory on disar-
mament when the construction program
section Is considered. -,
The question has been discussed for
a brief period. After Representative
Green, Republican Of Iowa, ranking
Republican member on the ways and
means committee. had urged reduction
of armaments, Representative Garrett,
Democrat Of Tennessee, for ten min
utes took the Republican party to task
for "scrapping the only definite dis
armament program ever laid before
the world-the league of nations"
Representative Britten, Republican
Of Illinois, wanted to know II the
league Of nations meant disarmament,
why nations already in the league had
taken no steps to reduce the strength
of their armies and navies.
Because, the United States isn't in
the league" shouted Mr.. Garrett,
"we're trying to build the biggest navy
In the world. don't believe nations
In the league can or will agree to
armament reduction as long as we con-
tinue to strengthen our navy"

President-eIect to Begin Series
of Conferences Calculated to !.
Settle Selections.
HARDING A BUSY Man
Hughes Choice For Secretary Of state
Viewed az certaln-chas. Dawes
and j.. D. Davis Considered Tor
Cabinet Portfolios.

st. Augustine, Fla.-While Pres
dent-elect Harding was disposing Of
another long list of miscellaneous ap
pointments, 1t become known that in
the near future he would begin series
Of conferences calculated to bring Ia
a head the whole question Of cabinet
selections.
The names of three Of those ex.
pected here within the next few days
attracted particular attention, be.
cause all Of them are known to have
been under serious consideration for
cabinet places. They are Charles
Evans Hughes of New York; Charles
g. Dawes Of Illinois, and ]. d. Davis
Of Pennsylvania. considered for the
portfolios Of State, Treasury and La
Dor, respectively.
Hughes Choice Held Certain.
Mr.. Hughes is conceded by those
close to Mr.. Harding to be the Presi.
dent-elect's choice for Secretary Of
State. and the fact that he is com.
ing to Florida was accepted as one
more indication that he will get the
appointment.
The prospective visit of Mr.. Dawes
who recently came into the lime light
by a spectacular denunciation Of the
Republican congressional committees
investigation Of the conduct of the
war, is more of an enigma. 1t was un.
derstood in December that he was
foremost in Mr.. Harding's mind for
the Treasury position, but in recent
weeks the friends of other aspiranta
have become so active as to becloud
the situation.
Mr.. Dawes is visiting relatives i
Florida, and 1t is pointed out that II
would be only natural for him to call
and pay his respects to the leader Of
his party.
No announcement has been made
Of a formal appointment for Mr. Davis
but he is expected to be in st. Angus.
tine within few days. It is under
stood that Mr.. Harding has heard
flattering reports Of his capability, but
desired closer personal acquaintance
before reaching decision.

crop of oats. Old wheat is pretty we'll
cleaned out around here, and would
bring s1.15 today. We are paying so
cents for corn. Haven't heard a single
farmer complain of weevil or chinch
bugs, so far" No price will be set on
wheat at the Castine elevator until
farmers are ready to weigh in.
Prices on new crop wheat are likely
TO change from day to day, depending
on various factors, at all country sta
lions.
Wayne Threshina Prices.
The threshermen of Wayne county
have agreed on what they consider
fair prices, as follows: For threshing
wheat, 8 cents per bushel; for oats,
cents, and on rye the charge will be
II cents. These figures are in line
with those to be charged in the seven
counties embraced in this district,
with the single exception, we are told,
that wheat will be threshed at IL
cents in one county. Eight cents is
the top figure in the seven counties,
says Arthur Mcmahon.
1t is expected that some wheat will
be threshed in Wayne county during
the coming week and shortly there
after all rigs will get into action.
Jacksonburg farmers report re
freshing rains which were of consider
able benefit to clover and oats and OF
some benefit to wheat in the fill.
Farmers in both the Cambridge City
and Hagerstown districts say that the
weather man has been very obliging
Of late. although somewhat persnick-
erty earlier in the season.
Paying $1.2o for Wheat.
VIM. Hollinger, of Clarke's Station,
in Darke county, Ohio, reports pay,
ing $120 for wheat and says that
there is some coming in right along,
also that farmers are letting go of corn
at IS cents per cWt. He says there is
still quite little old wheat on the
farms which farmers are more willing
to sell now that a fair crop is being
harvested. I'VE have some pretty
good wheat in this vicinity" said Mr.
Hollinger, land there is much better
prospect for oats since the recent
rains"

COMING HERE SOON.
Il always like to do picture writ
ten by an author Of experience,
declares Sam Wood, director for Para
mount, "and in Elinor Glyn we surely
have a writer who knows life and can
describe it with great verisimilitude.
The Great Moment" is the title of
the story which Elinor Glyn has writ
ten for Paramount and which serves
as vehicle for Gloria Swanson. Mrs.
Glyn is now at the Lasky studio and
will work in the closest cooperation
with Mr. Wood in the production. The
photoplay is said TO afford many Won
derful scenes in some of the gayest
spots of the European capitals, with
rich coloring and situations that are
distinctly forceful.
Develops Picture Sense.
II have had many talks with the
author" Mr. Wood continued, and I
find that she has the picture sense
keenly developed. She knows life and
can describe it so clearly that there is
no doubt; nothing that has to be sup
piled. | am satisfied that in this pic
ture we have a wonderful plot, stirring
incidents, much human interest, which
think will be received as really
great production Mrs. Glyn is so well
informed, so talented and withal so
conversant with people and their
habits of thought that she has supplied
q story that will not only suit admir-
ably Miss Swanson's qualities but also
contains all the elements of interest
that are essential. Also it is different
very different-from the ordinary
type of film story as might be expected,
I can truthfulIy say that l am en-
thusiastic" 80 -
Mrs. Glyn is also inspired by the
possibilities of the production and is
| highly pleased with the facilities al
| forded for the work. She will natural
! ly watch with the keenest interest,
every phase of the process.
