Nv the Assnciated Press

BY the Associated Press.
RARITAN. n. j.. July 1.-THE reso-
luton of Congress declaring war with
Germany and Austria Hungary at an
end was signed here late today by
President Harding.
The President affixed his signature
to the measure at $40, eastern
standard time, at the home of SEN
ator Joseph S. Frelinghuysen. where
he is spending the week end.
So that there might be no unneces-
sary delay in consummation of the
long deferred state of peace. the
resolution was brought here by
special messenger from Washington.
where it had been given final con-
gressional approval yesterday. The
messenger left for the capital again
tonight to complete the formalities
of the declaration by depositinG the
document in the archives of the
State Department.
Ceremony Lacking.
There was little dramatic in the
actual ceremony of giving presiden-
tial approval to the measure. Re
turning here from a luncheon and
golf game at the Somerville Hill
Country Club. the President found
the White House messenger, L. W.
Smithers. waiting for him on the
yeranda of the Frelinghuysen house.
Mr.. Harding Immediately put on
his nose glasses and. sitting in a
porch swing. examined the official
COPY Of the resolution minutely. The
signing took place at small ma
hogany table in the adjacent living
room in the center of a distinguish ed
group, which included the President.
host and hostess, Speaker Gillett of
tor Kellogg of Minnesota, a member
of the Senate foreign relations conf
mittee: Senator Hale of Maine and
other members of the week end party.
AS the Presidents pen scratched out
the final letters of his name. one of
the group remarked: We'll, that's
that, Mr.. President"
Yes, that's it," replied Mr.. Harding.
with a broad smile. and the others re-
sponded with a quick burst of hand
clapping as if the historic significance
Of the occasion had been borne in
upon them.
Makes Ne Statement.
No formal statement was made by
the President in connection with the
ahxing of his signature and the con-
summation Of the first formal step in
the announced peace program of the
administration With other papers
Of routine character brought here
for his attention. the President re-
turned the peace resolution as soon
as it had been signed and then pre-
pared to resume his interrupted holi-
day by getting into golf clothes for
another workout On the links.
In signing the resolution the Presi-
dent used pen sent him for this
purpose by Representative Porter of
Pennsylvania, chairman of the House
foreign affairs committee and joint
author of the measure. The pen will
be returned to Mr.. Porter as a souve-

Although the session primarily was

Representative Mondell says:
The introduction of the tariff bill
in the House coincident with the close
Of tho fiscal year and the brief
of I,,l&- af
perfume time to review briefly the
work Of the special session OF Con-
sress thus far.
The special session was called pri-
marty for the purpose of considering
and enacting tariff and revenue legis-
lation and. had the Congress followed
the policy Of some former Congresses.
little would have been accomplished
dyta,sgi the period necessary for the
preparation OF tariff bill. but the
Congress set to work diligently, has
been in session continuously and has
enacted much important legislation
while the ways and means committee
Of the House has been framing the
tariff bill.
Country FavOrs Tariff.
Some OF us were of the opinion that
IT would be wise to consider taxa ton
questions Immediately after the pass
age of the temporary tariff bill, but
the sentiment of the country. as re-
flected in newspapers. letters and tele-
grams, seemed to be overwhelmingly in
favor of the consideration of a perma-
nent tariff measure first. and the House
responding to that demand, its commit
tee on ways and means has worked
steadily and without ceasing in the
preparation Of the tariff bill
Unquestionably the country has been
impatient at the length of time re-
ouired for the preparation Of this meas
ure. but the examination Of Its 346
pages, its thousands of paragraphs, will
convince any reasonable person that
the time consumed In preparation has
been we'll spent and that a tremendous
task has been speedily and wisely ac-
complished.
1 am of the opinion that the meas
ure as it will be presented to the
House next Wednesday will have
more general and united support and
commendation, both in the Congress
and in the country. than any tariff
bill since the civil war. The tariff bill
will be promptly taken up and con-

gone, confidence shattered. blood run

cash over his cheek bone. looked ffke
hunted animal. Dempsey without
mercy and like an avenging Nemesis
Furnishing Carpenter without mercy.
The bell at the end of the third round
| found Carpenter in semi-helpless
condition on the ropes and the gong
saved him from a knockout at that
point.
Contrast to Air OF Copndence.
The fourth and final round was
soon completed and the picture pre-
sented by Carpenter helpless on the
floor and his stunned handlers in his
: corner was in marked contrast to
| the supreme air OF confidence with
which the Frenchman entered the
! ring.
Carpenter was first to enter the
| eighteen-foot pugilistic amphitheater
at 2:57 pm. He wore a gray silk
bathrobe over his white silk trunks
and smiled and watched an airplane
flying overhead with the utmost un-
| concern. At pm. sharp the cham.
pion followed wearing dark ma
room coat sweater and white trunks.
| Manager Descamps was fussy about
f; the bandaging on Dempsey's hands.
| which was twice as heavy as that
| which Carpenter himself wound
| about his own fists. There was little
delay in the usual preliminaries to a
championship contest and at 3:1S the
gong called the men to the center Of
the ring for the championship battle
Thirteen minutes later the great in
ternational match, heralded through
out the world. was over and CarpeL-
tier was being half carried, half
| dragged to his corner by the police
and his seconds. Helpless and groggy
and with a blood-smeared face he
did not resemble in the slightest par
ticular the superconfident challenger
Of a few minutes before.
Not Q Mark ON Dempsey.
Across the ring Jack Dempsey sat
! in his corner with not a mark on face
! or body. Francois Descamps was
ministering to his crushed. idol as he
! sobbed and chartered in French.
! When finally Carpenter could arisa
he staggered toward the center OF
the ring and the police and ring Of
fcials, seeing his condition. sup
ported him. while Dempsey sprang
from his stool and. running to meet
his defeated opponent. grasped his
hand and congratulated him on his
gameness .and boxing ability.
A moment later the principals had
left the ring and the fight of CEN
tury" had become ring history. In
the short period of the contest it
was shown conclusively that Carpen-
tier in no way compared to Dempsey
as a fighting machine.
Courageous. speedy of foot and
with a lightning-like rapier blow. he
proved to be a clever boxer with
moderate punch. Against the man
killing smashes of Dempsey all his
skill and speed faded away like fog
before the sun. 1t was but another
demonstration Of the fuulity of
cleverness when opposed to actual
fighting.
Summed up in a few words. Car
pentier was outclassed when Demp-
sey persisted in fighting inside the
Frenchman's flying arm. Had he
elected to try to box with Carpen-
tier the end might have been differ
ent. But Dempsey is a fighter and
fought the only way he knows how.

TEDDY IS ASHAMED.

My pride in the action OF the rank
and file Of the country is offset only
by my shame at being represented in
the world by the present administra-
ton" So says Lieutenant Colonel
Theodore Roosevelt in his recently pub
lished book. Average Americans We
have always had the greatest respect
life time. and at his death mourned
his untimely end. with millions of other
true Americans regardless of any poll
tical lines. This respect for our Rough
Rider President was carried over to
his family and we knew his boys would
make good soldiers in France. Now
II ts all spoiled. and the parting OF the
ways has been reached. We must
characterize the writer of the above
as brainless wonder. The little in
significant. egotistical upstart. that is
ashamed OF an administration that won
the war. at least twelve months before
he or any one thought it possibly could
be won.
An administration. whose every act
had been carried to success by demo-
cratic and republican shoulders at the
wheel lifting for all they were worth.
An administration that had placed the
biggest brainest men regardless of poll
tics. At the head Of the different war
ospsrtments. At . salary Of 800 per
