The remarkable speech made by
Col. George Harvey in London last
night proved one-day sensation on
Capitol Hill today.
Colonel Harvey's utterances were
received with mixed emotions by
members of the Senate. Irrecon-
cilables like Johnson, of California: !:
Borah, of Idaho. and Mccormick. of
Illinois, hailed it with deep satisfac-
ton; pro-League Senators like Hitch

"discreditable performances" while

LONDON, May 20.-There was
united opinion today both in official
circles and in the press that the
European atmosphere has been
greatly cleared by the speech Of
Ambassador Harvey. II was recog-
nized that the Ambassador spoke
both for President Harding and the
American nation when he briefly
outlined the future foreign policy
IT his country.
The declaration that aroused most
comment and was regarded as most
significant was that the United
States will not enter the League Of
Nations.
FEEL POLICY Is FIXED.
The Times. after commenting
cheerfuly upon Mr.. Harvey's state
ment that the United States will CO.
operate to keep the worlds peace,
added that Europe finally knows
just where she stands regarding
America and the League OF Nations. /"
The Pail Mall Gazette pointed out
that Ambassador Harvey has. made
progress along the pathway of open
diplomacy" The Pail Mall Gazette
considers that tho prospects for
European stability have been greatly
strengthened by the fact that Am
bassador Harvey will participate in
the session of the Supreme Council
that will deal with Upper Silesfa.

from, President Harding, the am

SLAP AT WILSON.
Another section OF the ambassadors 3
speech which aroused much discus
sion was his reference to Americas
part in the war Mr.. Harvey declared
that the United States did not send an
army across the Atlantic to save any
particular European nation, but to
protect America in the future. He
referred back to historic phrase OF
former President Woodrow Wilson
when he said:
I'VE are not too proud to night.

Premier Lloyd George. who was
present, said that the help Of the
United States is necessary II the peace
OF Europe is to be maintained.
The newspapers all praised the
ambassadors frankness. The Daily
News, however, still confessed its in
ability to see why America had jet
tisoned the league.

The Evening Standard fears that
the league is doomed without the sup

In recent years the troublesome
title dispute has been eliminated by
the result of closing games, the
leading eleven having won an I'M

ever, Ohio State enthusiasts claim
their squad has met and defeated
stronger teams than the Iowa elev-

early season defeat of Ohio State
by Oberlin, a non-conference elev-
en-. 7 to 6. as grounds for giving the
title to the Hawkeyes.
These two elevens, reasonably
certain of victories again on Sat

from present indications, will have
to settle their claims during the
"hot stove league" season.

Gates a plan for a conference cham
pionship series, by which the
schedule-makers would leave open
the final November football date,
so that the leading elevens might
be paired on that date to settle titu-
lar honors. Other eIevens elinin-
ated from first honors, would be
matched for the remaining places
in the race.
Critics of the scheme point out
that certain teams in the confer
ence have refused to schedule
games with other conference elev-
ems, a notable instance being the
Ohio tate-Wiscousin feud OF sew
