Washington, ID. C.. April 26.-With
the next few days expected to bring
a more definite crystslization of senti-
ment in Republican ranks on the
world court issue, the political aspects
Of President Harding's unequivocal
commitment TO the proposal for
American participation in his New
York address continued today to hold
the close attention OF party leaders.
All shades of reaction 10 the Presi-
dents firmly spoken adherence to the
proposal were manifest soon after his
return to the capitol yesterday. The
preponderence of sentiment among
leaders. as openly expressed. favored
the Executives stand and saw little
fear in the warnings from opposition
sources of party split if the advocacy
of American membership in the court
was pursued. There also were sugges-
tons of a compromise on the proposal
In addition to conferences with
party leaders here yesterday, the Pres
ident also received the expressions on
the position he has taken from leaders
throughout the country.
While administration officials gen.
orally appeared well satisfied with the
support accorded the President on the
issue, some of those who talked with
Mr.. Harding yesterday came away
with the impression that he was not
himself entirely assured as to the pos.
sible effect of the opposition expressed.
So anxious is the President to avert
any schism in the party, they said,
that the situation may possibly lead
TO a cancellation Of his plans for a
Western speaking trip.
The President, they pointed out, has
repeatedly emphasized that he wished
to keep politics distinctly in the back
ground during the trip and while ten

Attorney Harrington's last act was
to find and deposit $4,000 in cash
late Saturday TO obtain the release
on bail Of Phillips. The attorney sup
piled a fictitious name for the person
who furnished the cash bail.
There are many who believe that
the best thing that could happen
would be to leave Clara Phillips, if
indeed it is she, safely put away IN
Honduras and stop the trail of trag-
edy and misfortune that she seems 20
leave behind. There may be other

Life Saving Work
Of Red Cross Corps
Wars on DrOwnings

The insignia of the American Red
Cross Life Saving Corps on the bath
ing apparel of men, women and
youths Is seen everywhere at favorite
bathing places along the coasts, riv-
ers, lakes and ponds. In its unrelent-
ing campaign to reduce loss of life by
drowning the Red Cross Is making
constant Roadway. The demands for
instruction from organizations in all
parts of the country were SO numer-
GUS the past year that it was neces-
sary to more than double the staff OF
Red Cross instructors. This work Of
training for water life-saving showed
an enrolment of over 10000 volun-
teers enlisted for duty on patrol, for
rescue and resuscitation, all compe-
tent to instruct others in the standard
water-safety methods. The Red Cross
by request of the War Department
gives water first aid training at the
United States Military and Naval
academies and in the military training
camps for reserve officers and civil
ians. The four cash prizes awarded
by the Red Cross last year for heroic
rescues were conferred upon two girls,
a boy and a man, indicating that the
youths Of the country stand well at
the top in conserving life along our
water courses.

ITO DISASTERS IN YEAR
ENLIST RED CROSS AID
Nearly s4c0, 900 Spent in United

Work Completed.

For its preparedness to render re-
lief through effective and generous aid
to the sufferers from disaster the
American Red Cross Is universally re-
garded as the one organization from
which response to appeal for help Is
immediate. In the last year, accord
ing to the annual report of the Red
Cross, its disaster relief operations
were carried out in ITO localities in
the United States. This work, with
activities carried over from the previ-
Gus year, required the expenditure in
the United States of 1897, 468.04 by
the American Red Cross, its Chapters
and Branches. In the emergency fol-
lowing the defeat of the Greek forces
in Turkey and the burning Of the city
of Smyrna, which entailed the relief
of nearly 100000 men, women and
children, Red Cross National Head
quarters expended $2,605, $4,000. The
food distributed in Greece aggregated
$4,000 tons; garments, 100000; blan-
kets, 48,550; new shoes, 5000 pairs:

refugees there was listed upwards Of
$4,000 children under three years OF
age.
The disasters in the United States
during the past year reported 240 per-
sons killed, 991 injured, 1851 rem
dered homeless The total property
loss was estimated at $20,71O,000.
Reliof of suffering caused by disas-
tiers of such magnitude as to over
whelm the resources of the communi-
ties in which they occur is fundamen-
tai to the charter Of the American
Red Cross. In addition to making ap-
preparations from it's treasury and as
signing trained personnel to relief
work, the Red Cross in disaster CEN
tralizes and makes more effective re-
lief funds and supplies contributed by
the country at large.
Since 1881 the Red Cross has ad-
more than $20,000,000 for
the single purpose of disaster relief.
That it may continue to accept the re-
sponsibilities which grave emergen-
cies place upon the American Red

the hunt for other pools. The natives
then literally catch fish, sometimes
gathering them up by the bushel.
