HULL TAKES SLAP
AT HARDING LETTER
Declares Presidents Missive Is
Plea for Reelection of Do
Nothing Congress.

WASHINGTON, oct. 16.-(A.-PD
The letter Of Pres't Harding TO
Rep. Mondell praising the work Of
congress. which was made public
yesterday. was declared by Chair
man Cordell Hall Of the democratic
national committee, in a statement
tonight to be in effect a plea for
the reelection of his republican
do-nothing congress"
With the exceptions Of the re-
publican members defeated in the

tically the entire membership Of

asks the American people to ap-
prove Of this congress. he asks for

general results COT the congress)
says Pres't Harding, which have
been so helpful TO American welfare
that they Nill not fail TO appeal TO
the approval OF the american peo-
rle.'"
This is the Harding roundabout
way OF doing what Pres't Wilson
did in 1918 IN a direct way when
he asked for the reelection OF a
democratic congress to aid him IN
making a just peace for which he
was criticized and abused by repub-
ucan leaders, republican speakers
and the reactiOnary republican
press
'Pres't wilson's plea was for the

Vaughan, a United States army pi-
lot today set new worlds airplane
speed record by covering a one-kilo-
meter course at the rate Of PASS
miles an hour
The record was made during Ofri-
ciRl government tests of speed planes
that participated IN the national air
races at Selfridge field last week
and was electrically timed by Offi-
GERS from McCoOk field.
Aeronautical engineers and army
and navy officers who witnessed the

be attained in the afr.
Lieut. Vaughan made the record
breaking fight in the same plane
with which he won the Pulitzer trO-
ply race Saturday. The machine ia
a Curtiss-Army biplane, powered
with Curtiss 400 II. P. engine.
After setting the new record Lieut.
Vaughan continued his fight to show
that the tremendous pace could
be maintained. On four laps he was
timed at the rate of 232.22 miles an
hour and his average for eight laps
was 229 miles an hour.
Not a ''Trick' Flight.

PARIS, oct 16.-(A-P)-It was
the specific policy of France, COM
bined with the sincere desire Of
Mustapha Renal Pasha to avoid
war and not the British display Of
force which prevented war in the
Near East. a war which would have
soon assumed the proportion Of the
great world conflict. Mr. Franklin
Bouillon. the special French envoy
at the recent Mudania conference,
told nearly a hundred Newspaper
men of 10 nations who gathered at
the foreign office tonight to hear the
French delegate tell about his mis-
sion.
1T has been said in England that
the British fleet and British troops
alone halted the victorious Renal
ties" said NJ. Franklin Ouiuon.
The truth is that every time force
was used and the British troops
were reinforced, negotiations with
Mustapha Pasha became increas-
! ingly more difficult
The peaceful efforts of France
always interviewed just in time 10
prevent open warfare and had 1t
not been for France, peace would
not have been realized. In this
connection, I wish TO pay tribute 10
