to pass the Babe when even a clout

Pitchers, when there is not too
much at stake, should try to get
the Babe, instead of taking the easy
way out of it and giving him a
pass. Many pitchers, no doubt,
would like to do it. Ut doesn t

PRESIDENT HARDING
BIDS COMPROMISE
Proposes Modification Of Machinery
Whereby Vacancies Would BE
Filled BY World Bench Itself

ST Lo1is-President Harding placed
before the country a renewed plea for
adherence 10 the permanent court of
international justice as the zone and
only existing agency of peace { which
we can safely subscribe without violat-
Ing the basic principles of our national
being"
Making the first prepared address
OF his western trip, the president said
that to bring about the end he desired
he would gladly wipe out fractional
differences" and proposed a recon
struction of the machinery Of the in
ternatfonal tribunal ito dispose con-
clusively OF all other cited apprehen-
sions of danger from the exercise OF
any Influence whatsoever. either open
or f~urtive, by the league of nations or
by any other organization"
This could be done in one or two
ways" he asserted. "First by en-
powering the court itself to fill any
vacancy arising from the death of a
member or retirement for whatever
cause, without interposltion from any
other body; or, second, by continuing
the existing authority of the perman-
ent court of arbitration to. nominal and
by transferring the power to elect from
the council and assembly Of the league
to the remaining members of the court
of Justice"
Then, anticipating the "voice of the
doubter," who might inquire whether
40 nations nov represented on the
court would consent to these changes
In The tribunal, Mr.. Harding answered
that TO submit terms which were es-
TO the preservation Of our ma
.tionality is not an act of dIscourtesy,
II Is the only fair, square and honor
able thing a great, self-respecting ma
ton can do.

New York-Two ocean liners flying

liquor aboard for the trip home. de-
spite the fact that Uncle Sam had said
they must cross the three-mlle limit
bone-dry.
One of the British vessels to defy
the American dry edict and force a
test was the Cunard liner B%erengariH.
The fact that she intended TO carry
LIQUOR across the three-mile line had
been well heralded and treasury
agents in New York had been deluged
with orders from Washington as to
Just how TO act.
The other vessel was the White Star
liner Baltic. She took the waterfront
by surprise. Shipping offlcers-except
her own-were ignorant of the fact
that she contemplated a showdown.
Both ships were permitted TO pass
through quarantine unmolested and
proceed TO their docks. Then caino
from the customs house word that
nothing would be done until the cap
talns had appeared with the mnnifesis
and applied for permits to retain
enough liquor for medical purposes.
With two wet Britishers already on
their hands, customs officials. now
face another deluge. Due In port is
the French liner Paris. Before she
set sail II was announced that she car
ried In her hold many a cocktail
shakerful for the homcward voyage
and that on this select locker had been
placed the seal of the French govern
ment.
1t was understood among the pas
sengers that this action was taken as
