the Versailles treaty is used as a
basis. just as President Harding said
in his first message to Congress that
he believed it would be the wiser
course to follow. the entire foreign
policy of the United States will be in
a tangle.
Certainly one big fact has already
leaked out of the Department of
State. 1t is that there is no present
intention of renewing diplomatic
relations with Germany until treaty
is signed between Germany and the
United States. The Knox-Porter re-
solution is really a one-sided affair.
1t proclaims state of peace so far
as statutes of the United States are
concerned. 1t doesn't bind Germany
and Mr.. Hughes is going slow about
giving to Germany the advantage of
a peace time relationship with the
United States until Germany signs
on the dotted line treaty disposing
of the many claims which the Uni
ted States holds directly and indir-
ectly against her.
Even the proclamation of a state of
peace which usually makes peace an
established fact after a treaty has
been signed and ratified has not been
issued by the White House The delay
is significant. 1t is one thing to have
congressional resolution declare a
state of peace. 1t is another thing to
put forth a proclamation notifying the
world including Germany that the
United States considers herself at
peace. If the latter were true, there
would be no need of a treaty of peace
at all and the lawyers are expressing
themselves against issuing a procla-
nation of peace until after a treaty
with Germany has been made.
Mr.. Harding at the parting of the
new ways again. He has hoped against
hope for a compromise. But the
'irreconcilables" don't see it that
way and they are making trouble by
threatening all sorts of things il the
Versailles treaty comes back to the
Senate. But Mr.. Harding must follow
the advice of his distinguished coun-
sci, the secretary of state, or follow
the Senate group which has blocked
ratification from the start. The
chances are he will stand by Mr..
Hughes.

Hefter playing short for Rocky
Mount has been doing wonderful
fielding in the Wilson series. In the
seventh when he dropped Walters
pop fly permitting the tying run to
score he made his first error but due
to the fact that Steinback playing
second was also very anxious to as
sist in the put out the ball dropped.
1t is the first real break of luck that
we have had in sometime. and it was
a most acceptable favor. The game
then rocked on until the tenth with
the score five all. In the tenth Roth
led off with a double down the left
line, Smith sacrificed him to third,
and he counted on Heads Texas

won. 1t was a corking good game
from beginning to end, and was at
all times in doubt until one WAS
