But he has showed marked initiative,
by picking . cabinet Of his own choice.
He resisted all attempts to dictate the
ed around him the ablest group Of
personnel Of his advisers. He gather
practical thinkers and executives that
. president has had for years.
The great ability and power Of these
men has given the country the ablest
leadership it has had for = generation.
Whatever faults Congress may have
manifested, the country has had
brains and competence in the execu-
tive end.
In suggesting measures Of legisla--
ton. the president has been hampered
by the presence in Congress Of many
men of many minds, as is natural,
considering the diverse sections they
represent. 1t would be 70 with any po-
litical composition that could be i'm
agined.
But the president has shown mark
ed initiative. The Washington con-
ference which has achieved the most
remarkable results ever attained by
any international gathering, was very
largely his idea. 1t was the common
sense conception of level headed
mind, infinitely more practical and
possible than the vague dreams OF
more pretentious statesmen. Its re-
suits promise to take the world long
step toward universal peace.
The country has faith in Mr.. Hard
ing. He is popular. Even opposition
newspapers admit it. He has shown
common sense, tact, and ability to
handle perplexing situations. Con-
gress should back him up.

TROOP ENTRY TO keep ORDER

Concord, n. H., July 19.-Whether
or not Gov. Albert o. Brown will
call out the National Guard to pro-
tect strikebreakers and railroad
property here will be settled by the
governor tomorrow. he declared to-
night, after the receipt of communi-
cations from Mayor Henry E. Cham

company. Pending the decision, six
policemen and two officers have
been sent here from Manchester to
assist the local force in maintaining

The demand for the National
Guard was precipitated by the al

at an early hour this morning. who
are said to have driven a dozen So
called strikebreakers from their
home to the town line, and by the
recent firing of five shots at the
house where the strikebreakers were

Washington, July 19.-(By A. P.)-
While government interest in the in
dustrial situation continued to be
conferred today chiefly in the coal
strike and particularly in the re-
action from President Harding's in
vitation to governors of coal produc-
ing states that they cooperate with
him in the effort to reopen the
mines, evidence was not lacking that
the coal and railroad strikes were
correlated at least in effect.
Unofficial reports received here
brought further details of reduction
in coal output, because of inadequate
car supply, with the result, it vas
said, that production was tending 20
be more than ever confined to nom

Preparations to
Await Report on
German Guarantees

Paris, July 19-(By A. P.)-The
whole reparations question will prob
ably be in suspense until Friday or
begin consideration of the report of
the committee on guarantees which
has returned from Germany. Definite
developments are not looked for in
the meantime.
The committee will do some inten-
sive work tomorrow and Friday in an
endeavor to have it's findings ready
by Saturday at the latest. In official
circles the disposition is to proceed
slowly and carefully with the ques-
ton, and it was this idea that
prompted Premier Poincare to write
letter to the British ambassador at
Paris, Lord Hardinge. pointing the
necessity of moving with the greatest
care before the date of the forthcom-
ing Franco British meeting is fixed.
In reparations circles it is indicat-
ed that the question of instituting a
most rigid control over German gov
ernmental finances will be one of the
chief elements in the discussion of
Germany's request for moratorium
1t is reliably reported that a difference
of opinion exists in the commission on
the question of extending control over
Germany, even in the event that a
moratorium is granted.
A majority of the members of the
committee on guarantees are said to
be opposed to stricter control over
German finances, on the ground that
these would have the effect Of shift
ing to the commissions shoulders all
the responsibility for the financial sit
uation of Germany.
The directors Of the Allied Offices
for the collection from Germany OF
pre-war commercial debts will meet
in Paris on July % to consider the
recent announcement that Germany
intends to suspend payment of these
debts. There is said to be 100000 ,O0s
gold marks due this year.

-Linnett Urges Resumption
Building Activities-Wil Be
No Lower Cost in Materials

Portland. Me-, July 19.-Tribute to
the ability of women in the manage
ment of financial affairs was paid by
Alexander NJ. Linnett of Newark, N.
j., president of the U. S. League of
Local Loan and Building associations,
at the opening of the annual conven-
ton of the league today.
President Linnett in his annual ad-
dress made plea for a greater FEM
mime representation on the boards
of management of financial institu-
tons. He said Miss Ann E. Rae, re-
tirig president Of the New York
League and second vice president of
the National body, had been a con-
spicious example of the invaluable
asset a woman might prove to an
associa ton of that kind.
He called attention to the fact that
Miss Rae is in line for the presidency
next year, and that the league prob
ably will be tn efirst great financial
organization to honor a woman in
such fashion.
President John L. Reade of the
Maine League in welcoming the Wis
itors spoke of the soundness of the
loan and building associations in this
State, saying none ever had closed its
doors or gone into receivership.
President Linnett expressed the
opinion that it is inadvisable to de-
lay building longer in the hope that
costs of materials will drop to prices
previous to 1914. He said that from
$4,000. 100000 to $4,000, 100000 was
tied up in this country as the result of
the cessation of building activities,
and urged that general resumption
of building be inaugurated all over
the country.
He said the associations should be-

BALKAN FRONTIER
QUESTIONS TAKEN
UP BY THE LEAGUE

London, July 19.-(By A. P.)-
Various Balkan frontier questions
and border irregularities engaged
most of the time of the council of
the League of Nations today For
the first time former enemy state
was permitted to sit as a member of
the league, Hungary being allowed
to present her boundary claims
against Jugo-Slavia and Austria.
Some of the officials believe that
this foreshadows similar privilege
for Germany.
Intense disappointment and dis
satisfaction were caused by failure
of the council to admit the public
and newspaper representatives to
discussions of the Palestine and Sy-
rian mandates, to which the whole
of the morning session was devoted.
The Earl of Balfour, for England,
M. Viviani, for France, and the Mar
quis Imperial, for Italy. presented
the views Of their respective govern
ments regarding the religious, po-
litical and commercial rights of the
various powers and the Vatican in
the Holy Land. 1t is understood
that when the members of the coun-
Gil reach an agreement in private,
the subject will be discussed pub
licly later in the week.
The afternoons proceedings were
singularly spiritless and devoid of

frequently fell asleep, and his
breathing could be heard above the
drone of the discussion; other men,
hers were kept awake apparently
only by frequent drafts of tea. The
council finally adjourned, it was
said. out of sympathy for Lord Bal
four's WEAKNESS.
The council declined to accede to
| Bulgaria's request for the appoint
ment of a special commission to in
vestigate border incursions alleged
to have been carried out against her
by Jugo- Slavia, Rumania and
Greece, holding that the disputes
/ which have arisen could best be set
tied by direct negotiation among the
states themselves.
Consideration of the frontier con-
| troversy between Austria and Hun
gary and the various border disputes
between Hungary and Jugo- Slavia
was postponed until the council
| could give further study to these
subjects.
Information received by the
league from Russia indicates a
grave spread of cholera and typhus.
The latter is reported as being twice
as prevalent this year as last. All
the Mediterranean countries trading
| with Black Sea ports are threatened
with cholera. There were more than
5000 cases of cholera at Odessa in
the first week of July. Hospital IA
cilities are said to be insufficient and
the water supply is lacking. Nearly
100 cases of cholera were introduced
into Bucharest the past fortnight
Excluding the famine areas, the
total cases of typhus and relapsing
fever in Russia since the beginning
of the year were $4,000 and 732. o3s
respectively. The mortality rate Is
increasing. The seriousness of the
epidemic situation is shown by the
stringent orders issued by the Gen.
trail Soviet authorities. Vaccination
control has been in force and the
movement of refugees guarded.

Judge Reserves
Decision in Case
OF N. H. Picketing

Manchester, n. H., July 19-Justice
Branch reserved his decision this
afternoon on the petition of the
strikers to have the picketing injunc-
ton modified. i Strike leaders took
the witness stand, after the court had
declined to entertain a protest by the
mill counsel. Several tits between
counsel for the mills and the strikers
took place.
Vice President James Starr and
Organizer Horace Riviere criticized
the police methods Of handling the
situation.
A hearing will be held tomorrow ON
the strikers complaint that the police
exceed their authority in ordering
strikers to remain indoors when re-
turning operatives pass their dwell
ings.
Labor Commissioner John S. B.
Davie has submitted a report in
which he blames both sides for a
continuation of the textile strike.
He arraigns the employers for their
refusal to submit either the question
of hours or wages to arbitration and
blames the strikers for refusing to
arbitrate the question of hours.
THE only way to secure a perma :
nent peace" says the report, sis for
the parties involved to sit down at a
conference table and present the
facts to fair and impartial tribunal
and abide by it's decision"
The state labor chief then adds
that though the position of both mills
and strikers practically eliminates
him from the controversy, he urges
local arbitration boards to take up
the matter. He suggests that each
side select an expert to represent it
and that these two choose a third
member.
