I'm going ahead in an effort to make
the word safe for humanity, even il
it costs me-another term in the White
House"
Picturing what Mr.. Harding planned
ito make the world safe for humani-
ty," Mr.. Wellman said he wished to
have the world court proposal settled
as the first small step, and then con-
tempated next year inviting all the
nations to a world congress at which
he meant to submit a definite pro-
gram.
Mr.. Wcllman said that the late pres
ident had discussed features of this
program, in which he saw the League
Of Nations as a praiseworthy effort
that had failed and which should be
merged into Il greater and more eff
cicnt community embracing all ma
tions equipped, not with some. but
with al the powers needed to achieve
it's ideal. Particularly, said Mr.. Well
man, did Mr.. Harding deem it neces-
sary to end war by forbidding it in
international law; not compromising
with it. but leaving it without legal
status.
1T is a most tragic coincidence in
our national life" declared Mr.. Well
man. that Mckinley. long the cham
pion of high tariffs. had his newer
vision of American intimacy with all
the world and voiced his reciprocity
proposal just before his death in Buff
falo, and now Harding, generally con-
sidered an American isoationist. reach
ed the determination to make his coun-
cry the leader of new and better era
for all mankind just before the end
came at San Francisco"

they way on each side of the ma
chine and down the street. There
was a desultory shot or two, the
combatants combining themselves to
bottles, bricks and stones.
A county detective in the crowd

carried into a butcher shop where
their wounds were attended by a
doctor and they were then hurried
away by their friends. Many SINH

authorities.
The greater number of klansmen
had remained in the road near the

street beyond. County officers plead

HARDING SOUGHT
Continued from Pace Onel

"his plans and purposes he would
himself have revealed when ready"
But now" continued Mr.. Well
man. at is plainly my duty to him,
to the people who loved him as a
man regardless of their view of his
policies, to make known what he
told me of his determination to do
all in his power to bring about a
higher type of civilization, to Danish
war, to lift from all peoples the bur-
den and menace of the old but now
worn-out and useless militaristic
regime. It'll is only just to Mr.. Hard
ing's fame, to his place in history,
that the truth be made public"
Mr.. Wellman then tol6 of the con-
versations he had had with Mr..
Harding in the White House several
weeks before his death:
1.-The late President spoke to me
frankly as one newspaperman to an
other. Had he lived, all that would
have been a confidence. Now it is a
heritage that must not be lost.
"He told me with feeling of his
many days and nights of earnest.
prayerful thought on the problem
of Americas duty, of how he had
at last reached definite conclusion.
that his conscience would not permit
him longer to remain inactive. of his
belief that the conscience of our
people, once their minds were stirred
upon this problem, would not coun-
tenance persistent isolation and in
difference as our national policy.
"'Our people have never really
thought of this matter he said. and
when they do really think of it, they
will land with 'all their hearts and
souls in the right place.
'Mr. Harding rose to a great height
in discussing his plans. He was
splendid, noble, in voicing his deter
mination. I wish all the people could
have seen his face, heard his voice,
when he said:
Lots of people like me, but don't
like my administration. They think me
too timid to do really big things. Well.

The American twist serve imparts
top and side spin to the ball. The left
foot (for a right-handed player) is
placed two or three inches back of the
base line and nearly parallel to it, the
body facing to the right along this line.
The ball is thrown about 81 feet above
the head over the left shoulder and at
the same time the racquet is swung
''~"li and up in an arc until it points
lard across the back, the handle
over the right shoulder. 1t is
swung up until it come sin con-
with the ball just as the after
.-,Grts to descend. the point of contact
being as high off the ground as pos
sble, the server even rising up onto
the toes of his left foot. The server
should keep his eyes on the ball until
it is hit: this is absolutely essential.
When the racquet meets the ball it
passes diabonally across it and over
the top, so that it gives to the ball both
top and side spin. causing the ball
to curve to the left and bounce to the
right, as shown above. The stroke is
finished (after hitting the BALD by a
folow-through which ends with the rae
quet nearly hitting the ground couple
of feet inside the base line, and with
the right foot just finishing its first
step towards the net.
Tomorrow Mr.. Murray will explain
the reverse twist service which is just
the opposite of the one described
above.)

champion. Jack Dempsey went through
an equivalent to 10 rounds at his Sara
toka Lake camp today. with the criti-

tantes watching every move he made.
When the champion. his broad Shout
ders covered with a Aashy bathrobe,
entered the canvass-walled arena the
throng was so dense with fashionably
gowned women and their escorts that
he had to shoulder his way to the ring.

Sinclair. Miss Consuelo Vanderbilt.
Mrs. J. S. Cosden, wife of the turf

the intently interested spectators who
watched the pcrspiring Dempsey shoot
over right crosses and left hooks at
his retreating sparring partners Eyes
accustomed to society tea dansants did
not lose single move the champion
made and there was a chorus of Obs
and shudder whenever Dempsey. his
body cleaning, sank his Gioved fists
into his sparrng partners.
The cold from which the heavy
weight champion is suffering was re-
fected in his work. He complain of
stiff muscles and did not work with the
same aggressiveness characteristic Of
his sessions with his sparring part
ner. Dempsey boxed six rounds and
appeared to be slow in shooting his
punches. In addition to the boxing,
Dempsey tuggod at the weights, shad-
CIV boxed for a round and drove his
fists into the heavy feather filed box
