Text of Reply However, Is Not Given Out and Possibility of Negotiat- ing Agreement is Not Given up
British Govt. Plans to Pre- sent Question at Meeting Of Imperial Conference Next Month.

Washington, Sept. ie.-rhs Brttish reply to Secretary Hughes proposai for reciprocal agreement on shin iiauor and liquor smuggling was re- ceived at the state department today and was described by officials as lin general. not sympathetic to the pro. posais."
 Will Present Plans. The British government plans how- ever to present the question to tho British Imperial conference, which meets in London next month.
 State department officials view tho British note as leaving open the possibility of negotiating "a double barreled treaty to curb rum runners and also to facilitate legitimate liquor shipments in foreign bottoms.
 There was no attempt however to disguise the fact that the British government had indicated general disapproval of the plan and raised ob- jections against 1t.
 The Twelve Mile Limit
 In his proposal made to several powers, including France and Great Britain. Mir. Hughes pointed out that the draft treaty he submitted was de- signed to make a special arrangement extending the right of search and seizure up to 12 miles off shore for the particular purpose of preventing wholesale smuggling of liquor into the United States. It was em- phaslzed that no project was being put forward by America for any change in the general rule of inter-. national practice that fixes the limit of territorial waters at three miles off shore.
 Law Is Definite
 Secretary Hughes also pointed out that under existing law in this country the government was power less to permit stores of liquor on foreign ships to enter American the liquor was not to be used or de- livered within American shore.
 Text Not Published.
 The state department does not plan to make public the British note. nor would officials disclose the specific grounds upon which British objections were based Apparently there is some hope in Washington that refer- ence to the question to the imperial conference leaves door open to ul- timate negotiation of a treaty along the lines of that proposed by Secre- tary Hughes. In any event the state department regards the matter as still in an indefinite state.
 Since ships chiefly concerned both n the ship liquor controversy and in Inc smurrline operationS have been of British registry other countries nave deferred answers pending dis closure of the British viewpoint.

while sticking type for his college
paper, the lure drew him into the
newspaper tield.
His family meantime had moved
to Marion, in an adjoining county,
where he obtained his first news
paper job, and where his life inter-
ests were centered thereafter. Mr..
harding's ambition was to bCome
publisher, and it was realized at the
age of nineteen, when he bid ia the
Marion Star at a sheriff's sale. The
paper was purchased under heavy
mortgage and his friends have often
said that the struggles and hard
ships which were his in making this
paper a success had much to do in
fashioning his character and devel
oping a broad patience and toler-
ance which were his chief charac-
teristios.
Whatever his other attachments,
Mr.. Harding's greatest pride was in
his professional accomplishment
and training as printer. editor and
publisher. Nor did the interests and
exacting duties of his high office
serve to dull he delight in pottoring
about a composing room. On his
first trip back home after his inau-
guration, he went to the Star ONCE,
pulled off his coat, rolled up his
sleeves, borrowed a chew of tobac-
co and helped make up" the paper.
His luck charm was a printers rule,
carried always in a vest pocket.
As his ambition had carried MIN
into the ranks of publishers, so fancy
took him into the realm of politics.

canisnl.

Early in his years OF political SER

whom his close frien Is have most
often likened him, and with whom
he had in common a predominant
passion for obliteration of class and

up between the two men. Mr.. Hard

LIFE STORY OF.
LATE PRESIDENT


Warren G. Harding brought to the
Presidency an infinite patience and
kindness in dealing with public
questions and men which enabled
him to handle the problems of gov
ernment without stress and worry
which had handicapped many of his
predecessors.
Whatever else historians may say
of him there probably will be little
dispute that few chief executives
came to office in peace time facing
problems more complex in their ma
ture or greater in number. All in
ternational affairs were unbalanced
as never before, with many princi-
pal settlements of the Great War still
to be effectuated. At home the
work of reconstruction had only just
begun, with business depressed, ag-
riculture PROSTATE and unemploy-
ment general.
How Mr.. Harding measured up to
the task before him must be left
to the historian, but his friends said
that coming to the Presidency as he
did with an open mind, a desire for
counsel and an intimate knowledge
of the processes of government ac-
quired in his services in the senate,
he was the type of man needed for
the job at such a time.
Preaching upon every occasion
the doctrine of Americanism, he set
his face resolutely against "Entang-
ling Alliances" While thus adher-
ing to what he was pleased to term
the principles of the founding faith
ers, he nevertheless lent the moral
assistance of the government in the
efforts to bind up the wounds of the
world.
That influence was once declared
by him to be not inconsiderable,
and so America under his guidance
had part, silent though it was in
the main, in effecting the settle
ments of many vexing world ques-
tions. Its chief contribution was
the Washington Arms conference at
which the principal powers conve-
nanted to limit the size of their
navies and thus lift from tax weary
peoples the burden of maintaining
the race for naval supremacy.
Along with the proffer of coun-
sci in effecting world settlements
went an insistance that American
rights be recognized.
In polished phrase. but with a di-
rectness of expression that was not
to be misconstrued, the world was
given to understand from the very
first of the Harding administration
that the United States, freely re-
specting the rights of the other ma
tions, asked for herself only that to |
which she was entitled in simple |
justice, and that she could accept |
nothing less.
While in his dealings with con-
gress, Mr. Harding preferred the |
role of counsellor rather than die |
tator, he speedily removed any
doubt that his gift of patience de- |
noted any lack of purpose once he /
had charted a course. Thus he told |
congress that soldiers bonus legis-
lation either should carry the means |
of financing or be postponed, and |
when the legislators put aside his |
advice he promptly vetoed the bill |
they sent him.
His tenacity of purpose was fur
ther exemplified in his continual /
