after leaving the area garrisoned by
British troops. A French patrol came
up to inspect the train and the Ger

the shadow of the bayonet. Neither side
would yield and as result we were
left stranded in the midst of the coun-
tryside with no houses in sight. Bleak,
dismal and rainy weather set in.
Patience was impossible on account of
the overcrowded condition of the train

And He Is Willing to Step
Aside for Another If
That Is Thought Best.
IS PARTY MAN FIRST
Prefers at This Time Not
to Discuss Renomina-
ton in 1924.
By DAVID LAWRENCE.

Copyright. 1923. by the San Antonio Light.
Washington, d. c., Feb. 10.--Presi'
dent Harding has adopted an interest
ing attitude toward the question OF
whether he should or should not be
renominated in 1924.
The President agrees with the argu-
ment advanced by Senator Robinson,
the Democratic leader, that discussion
of candidates. this far in advance OF
the national conventions is decidedly
premature. he is not unaware, how
ever, Of the cross currents in the
American Senate and certain senators
have thought enough Of the Importance
of these currents to go to the White
House and seek something definite on
which to chart their course in the
political debates which have sprung up
in Congress.
Mr.. Harding has had no hesitancy
in talking frankly with his callers on
the subject for he feels that it is ut
this time at any rate, more or less an
impersonal matter. Mr.. Harding be-
lieves it all boils down to this: IL
the administration has been a success,
the party in 1924 will literally want
to renOminate the man who stood at
the head of that administration; if
it is regarded as n failure. the nomna-
ton may not be attractive TO any
Republicans aspirant as the people will
turn to the other party's candidate.
Under these circumstances il the party
leaders were to think that someone else
had better make the race, President
Harding would probably be resigned to
the turn of events. But the chances
are against such an outcome, because
if the administration is to be the issue
in the campaign which it undoubtedly
will be. the leaders will wish to have
the men who made the record stand
forth and defend it.
Wants Party Harmony.
Warren Harding is distinctly n party
man. He always has felt that duty to
party was above the obligation to in
dividuals. He feels that way about
himself. And he is willing to abide
by any decision the party may make
in 1924. There are positive disad-
vantages to any explicit statement on
the subject at this juncture. First
of all, if he were to say that he did
San Antonio light. [volume] (San Antonio, Tex.) 1911-1993, 1923-02-11

not care for a denomination it would
simply stimulate all the various per-
sons who want the nomination TO
begin active campaigns. Party sohdar-
ity in Congress would give way to IN
dividualism. Chances of making
good legislative record might be I'M
paired by the desire of candidates to
advertise themselves as militant cham
pions Of various measures. And 1t Is
a known fact that parties make great
est Roadway when they are harmonious
rather than divided into groups and
blocs.
II on the other hand, President
Harding were to say fatty that he is
a candidate for denomination, it would
be like firing the opening gun in the
presidential campaign itself. The eff
forts OF political groups and organiza-
tons OF various kinds to influence his
course on pending matters would be
redoubled. Pressure to get friends ap-
pointed to public office would be ex-
erted in the light OF what delegations
could be mustered for the first ballot
OF the nation as well as what votes
could be gathered for the final fight
in the autumn after the nominations
have been made.
Mr.. Harding knows that it is to
deal with patronage. It is the most
troublesome and perplexing phase of
presidential work. To announce him
self as candidate at this stage of the
game. would impart to the next twelve
months a physical strain which could
not but diminish the energy of a man
who. has the responsibility of the
presidency.
Watson Speech Not Inspired.
The President is anxious to avoid
discussion Of the denomination Ques-
ton. He did not inspire the recent
speech of Senator James Watson of
Indiana, Republican, but the latter
made his own prediction of what the
Republican party would do when he
said Mr.. Harding would surely be re-
nominated. There has been talk on
Capitol Hill that Jim Watson himself
was an aspirant for Republican nomi-
nation in 1924. All this has been on
the theory that Mr.. Harding was tired
and would voluntarily withdraw. Sena-
tor Watson did 60 to the White House.
His speech is his own deduction of
what will happen and it amounts to
disavowal of any candidacy of his
own. 1t will be recalled that Herbert
Hoover took occasion recently to an
nounce his belief that Mr.. Harding
would be rcnominated. He, too, had
been mentioned as candidate in the
event that Mr.. Harding withdrew.
The fact to be borne in mind is that
M. Harding has no intention of giving
up the presidency for personal convent.
ence as has been indicated from time
to time by some who enormously in
terpreted his candid remarks about the
weighty responsibilities Of n President
in this reconstruction period. Mr.. Hard
ing will accent the nomination if his
party wants him. That's all there is
TO it. And with that fact definitely
implanted in the minds of Republicans.
the ones who seek the nomination will
not be numerous as history has proved
that In most cases the man in the
White House is renominated by his
party.

first place with an editorial worthy OF note. OF
course there are editors and editors. but Edge

Under the caption of Editorial Responsibility"
he says:
ITO weigh the acts of men and Judge the mo-
tiveS behind the acts, to consider private rights
and public policies, distinguishing between the
trivial and the important between the claims of
the unworthy and the unclaimed rights of the
worthy, between the fallaees of the tenpermen-
tai enthusiast and the vicious pronouncementS of
the demagogue on the one hand and the solid
foundations of truth on the other; to look for
ward as we'll as backward and always upward,
prudently always and as TRANQUILITY as may be;
these are the duties that hourly lie in the path
of the conscientious editor.
ITO be able to separate jealousies human IN
consistencieS and personal preJudlces Unborn
from the right as it may appear to him to be; to
conquer private ambition that would unworthily
affect his efforts for the public welfare; these
are gifts and graces devoutly to be prayed for by
everyone entrusted with the preparation of mes
sages to the minds and hearts of the people,
"The editor who may unworthily use his power
and place may debauch the minds, the hopes and
the ambitions of those who read his words. He
NAV raise animosities between neighbors, spread
discord, undermine public confidence and kindle
the fires of prejudice. He may so mingle truths
and half truth and he may SO prey upon the vain
imaginings of unworthy souls that the very
foundations of the state may be disrupted. Con-
trariwise, he may clarity the public mind by a
proper assemblage of facts and by presenting
proper conclusions therefrom He can caution
the unwary, counsel the indiscreet, teach the

petrators of evil and those who would corrupt
private and public life. The editor must choose

FOR THAT UNREST

For the unrest that has followed upon the high
blood pressure of war Mr.. Montague offers
formula that might be framed and hung conspic-
uousy before the eyes of prime ministers, mill
workers, farmers, bank presidents, nanufactur-
ers, street cleaners and newspapermen:
ITO possess your soul in patience, with all the
skin and some of the flesh burnt off your face
and hands, is the job of boy compared with the
pains of a man who has lived pretty long in the
exhilaratng world that drugs or strong waters
seem to create and is trying to live now in the
first bald desolation created by knocking them
off .
"Sick as we are, we have still in reserve the
last resource of the sick To let the sick part
of our soul Just be still and recover; to make
alcoholized tissues just do their work long
enough on plain water-that, if we can but do it,
is all the sweeping and garnishing needed to
make us possible dwelling places again for the
vitalizing spirit of sane delight in whatever adj
venture befalls us. How, then, to do it? Not
fancy, by any kind of pow WOW or palaver of
congress, conference general committee subcom-
mittee or other expedient for talking in company
instead of working alone. This is an individuals s
Job, and somewhat lonely one though nation
has to be saved by it. To get down to work,
whoever else idles; to tell no lies, whoever else
may thrive on their uses; to keep fit, and the
beast in you down; to help any who need it; to
take less from your world than you give it; to
go without the old dran1s to the nerves-the hero
stunt, the sob story, all the darling liqueurs Of
war emotonalism, war vanity, war Spite war
rant and cant of every kind; and to do it all, not
in a sentimental mood of self-pity like some actor
mounting in an empty theatre and thinking what
treasures the absent audience has lost, but like
man on a sheep farm in the mountains as much
alone and at peace with his work of maintaining
the world as God was when he made it,

APPALLING NATURE OF FUTURE WARS AS
PREDICTED BY NIKOLA TESLA

Nickola Tesla word-renowned electrical en-
gineer and inventor in commenting upon the
prevention Of war recently, said that the most
effective agency for securing and promoting un-
versal peace would be the annihilatlon OF dis
tance through the development of the wireless

made twenty years ago, that instantaneous
transmission would be made from one point OF
the earth to another OF, signals, speech and PFC

ment of Improvements which he has made ne
felt assured that comparatively small, compact
plants, not requiring high towers as at present,
and having a telephone range of $4,000 miles,
would be established in various countries, and,
by thus bringing them into closer contact, main
tain a better international understanding. vi
greater Importance he said would be the Wire
less transmission of energy, which could be ef-
fected by making use of the same underlying
principles now employed in radio, and which
would make cheap motive power available every
where Then, he averred, it will be possible to
propel flying machines at great speed without
fuel
He evidently does not believe that harmony
will prevail among the nations of the world for
some time to come, for, continuing, he said:
discovery and invention tend to intensity the
forces and agencies for attack and defense. The
wars of the future will be greatly different from
those previously waged. They will cause less
physical suffering, but will be all the more de-

ships or aerial squadrons to meet in battle, but
crewless vessels will be sent from to the
other with enormous speed, and to distances of
thousands of miles. Such apparatus does not
now exist, but could be quickly constructed.
These internal engines will drop poisonous gases
and other destructive chemicals on any city or
place, the position of which is accurately known.
Batteships, guns, torpedoes, submarines and
even manned flying machines will become of
trfling Importance; there will be no need of adj

work will be done by electricians, engineers and
mechanics. international agreements will not
prevent war, for the simple reason that they will
be ignored when the life of nation is menaced.

thing else That is why Germany violated the
neutrality of Belgium and why Italy deserted her
allies Before universal peace can be obtained,
The entire human race must be changed for the
better through closer contact and the cultivation

He evidently does not believe that any restric.
tion will have to be made on the number of radio
phones operated, for he says:
"As to multiplex wireless telephony, there are
means available which will make it possible to.
operate as many radiophones as there are human
beings entirely without natural interference"
