WASHINGTON, Sept D. The
possibility that Prest Harding. after
the formal conclusion of peace with
Germany, may through the extern

Reports were general until a few
days ago. although without official
confirmation, that Atty. Gen. Daugh-

and an extension of executive Glenn
ency. A pardon, it was explained,
would operate TO restore Debs TO
the full rights and privileges Of
citizenship in addition TO freeing
him from prison, while the extern
sion Of clemency merely allowed him
his freedom.
These officials were strongly OF

were made by these officials that the

from Debs on the question OF am
