Harvey Dinner
King and Queen Remain to
End-Scene Resembles
GGlittering Spectacle Of
Mid.Victorian Days.

London, June .25.-(By A. P)-
With the Wilson tragedy fresh in
mind, the police took amazing pre-
cautions to guard the king and queen,
the members of the cabinet and 9TH
er prominent personages who attend
ed the American ambassador dinner
last night. Groups of Scotland Yard
men in every manner Of disguises
were deployed in doorways. alleys
and obscure corners, and fully 800
special detectives patroled the streets
for a radius of several blocks of the
Harvey residence, almost as much
an object Of interest as the Wilson
home nearby.
Hundreds of curious waited outside
to catch a glimpse of the distin-
guished guests. Detectives were on
all sides when Premier Lloyd George
alighted from his automobile, and the
other members of the cabinet were
similarly safeguarded.
The gathering lasted until after
midnight, the king and queen remain
ing until the end, which is unusual,
as the sovereigns were never known
to remain to such late hour at pre-
vious dinners.
The scene within the ambassadors
house resembled a glittering spec
tacle of mid-victorian days. All the
men. with the exception of Chief
Justice Taft, were attired in knee
breeches and the British guests car
ried jeweled swords. Many deco
rations and foreign insignia were
worn and the prime minister, with
some of his associates, arrived in
Napoleonic cooked hats.
The women we're resplendent in
shimmering of gold and silver, the
Americans vicing with their Eng
lish sisters in the beauty and lavish
ness of their jewels, diamond tiaras.
ropes of pearls, and rings of rare
beauty. The queen wore robe of
silver brocade, with gorgeous dia-
mond headdress.
The king spent considerable time
in taking with Lady Astor OF her re-
cent experiences in America. "You
have made me a splendid laison offer
between the two countries" he
smilingly said.
The queen held a miniature court.

Politics is not in itself an ignoble
thing" said the Archbishop. "On the
contrary, rightly understood as mean
ing the promotion OF laws and move
ments making for the common
wealth and as the sum total OF efforts
leading to the peace. happiness and
prosperity Of the people. it becomes
a science altogether honorable and
worthy OF the support Of all our
people.
But politics in the minds OF many
has come to mean quite a different

has come to be regarded as the occu-

Interest Selves in Welfare.
1T is in this degraded sense that
politics is always taken by those who
raise the cry The Catholic church is
in politics. What I do not under
stand is why it is that the Catholic
church alone is invariably made the
subject of their attack.
Catholic people, in the course OF

the Social and political welfare Of the
nation. They regarded it duty to

House Committee
Moves to Curtail
Election Expenses
Bill Designed to Meet Decis.
ion of Supreme Court
Taking Off Lid Is
Drawn Up.

Washington, June 25.-(Special
Telegram. 1.-The house committee
on elections moved to curb and
regulate campaign expenditures to
meet the supreme court decision i'll
the Newberry case and the opinion
recently rendered by the attorney
general. The opinion and the deci-
sion are regarded as having taken
the lid off expenditures in primaries.
The supreme court decision in the
Newberry case held that congress
has no right to pass federal law
governing expenditures in state pri-
maries.
Representative Andrews (Nebras-
KAY has formulated a bill which he
thinks, will meet this constitutional
objection. He introduced it June y,
and it was reported by the commit
tee today. Its sponsors will seek to
secure special rule 50 it may be
rushed through congress during the
closing hours of the session, III order
to affect pending primaries.
Representative Andrews bill pro-
vidcs that campaign expenditures of
members Of the house shall be linn
tied to $4,000 and of members of
the senate to $4,000. He avoids
the supreme court objection by
avoiding the use of the word "pri-
maries" altogether, and makes it
incumbent upon candidates for con-
gress to make a report of expendi-
tures to the federal government.

Mccormick May Leave
Hospital in Airplane

Chicago, June 25.-There are indi-
cations that when he departs from
Wesley Memorial hospital Harold
F. Mccormick will disappear in an
airplane. The mysterious actions of
an aviator from Checkerboard field
caused such rumors.
This man drove up to the hospital
in the afternoon, carefully looked
over tract of vacant land adjoining
the hospital, paced off its measure
ments, gazed at the Mccormick win
dows, held brief conference with
the hospital authorities and drove
away. The vacant lot is full square
and would permit the launching of
an airplane easily, it is said.
DR.. Lespinasse issued no bulletin
regarding Mr.. McCormick's condi-
ton, but said he would keep
him in the hospital few days longer
to be absolutely sure the operation
was successful.

British Cabinet
Will March at
Wilson Funeral
Wife Consents to Permit
"Politicans'' to Attend Only
When Kings Name
Is Invoked.

London, June 24.-Lady Wilson
withdrew her objections to Prime
Minister Lloyd George attending the
funeral of her husband, Field Mar
shal Sir Henry Wilson, on Monday,
and the prime minister and his cabi-
net will march behind the artillery
caisson bearing the coffin.
Only by invoking the kings name
did the widow Of the martyr consent
to politicians" participating in the
memorial ceremonies, as her friends
pointed out that the absence of the
ministers from the public funeral
would be regarded as disrespecttul
to his majesty.
Spit Is Blamed.
Lady Wilson's refusal to receive
Austen Chamberlain, who called
to present the cabinets con-
dolences, and her announcement that
Lloyd George and the cabinet would
not be welcome at the funeral, was
a result of the split which occurred
between the prime minister and the
field marshal several months ago.
SIR Henry consistently opposed
what he termed Mr.. Lloyd George
weak and vacillating policy towards
Germany and France, insisting that
the British government should as
sume firm and just attitude in sup
porting the French in their tair de-
mands toward Germany, but giving
the Germans a chance to live and
make reparations.
Break Over Collins.
When Mr.. Lloyd George began
negotiations with the Irish, Sir Hen
ry could no longer stand the prime
minister's policy and he broke sharp
" on the principle involved which he
said was shaking hands with MFR
derers."
The elimination of their break oc-
Cured when Sir Henry called at
Downing street one day while MI
Llovd George was conversing with
Michael Collins. As the field mar
shall entered the prime ministers

"Sir Henry, let me introduce Mr.
Collins"
Without replying to these
words, the field marshal placed his
hands behind his. back and walked
from the room. summary breaking

"But that the church is in politics.
in the form and as the charge is
usually made, is not only palpably
and viciously false. but the very op-
posite is true. From the very be-
ginning. the church has stood against
the corruptions and frauds Of politi-
cal life-against the greed and sell
hshness OF her kings and politicians
against the powers of darkness in
high places.
"Poor Politicians"
II would like to ask our critics
whether the church was in politics
in those early centuries when the
pagan cmperors ruled from Rome the
destinies of the world! Poor poll
ticians, those Christians were, but for
God and civilization martyrs and de-
tenders. Thomas A. Beckett, arch
bishop of Canterbury. showed little
political wisdom when he dared to
defend the rights of the church Of
God against the domination of the
English Caesar, Henry II. 1t was
by Henry's politicians that he was
foully murdered at the high altar Of
his cathedral because he would obey
God rather than man.
