London, Dec. 16fh.-The diplomatic

the departure of MI. Harvey to Washing
ton next week and intimation that the
Harding administration is disposed to
exert a helpful influence in European
affairs, attract wide attention here and
Washington and New York dispatches
bearing on these question filled the lead

Aline, through slurring the consonants.
One OF the daughters OF waltheof, earl
OF Northumbria, was so called and Il
Is believed that her christening set the
fashion for tha barbarous names which
made their appearance In England
about that time.
