Nov. 12.-tP)-President Coolidge was
on his way. tonight to the White
House. confident that the take-it-or-
leave-it world court declaration which
featured his Armistice address yester-
day in Kansas City would bear fruit
at an early date.

nouncement would lead without fur

toward determination of the question
of Americas adherence to the proto-
col. Certainly, it was said, Europe no
longer can be in doubt as to the inten-
ton of the United States to join the
court on it's own terms or stay out
of It,
If the expectations of the president
advisers are realized. the next week
or so will see an end put to the pro-
longed delay on the part of the mem

definite sort were not forthcoming
from the foreign capitals in efforts to
dispose of the court issue possibly

A special stop was made late In the
day on the famous Horseshoe Bend
of the Pennsylvania Railroad near
Altoona. The president wanted
especially to view the scenery there
and both he and Mrs. Coolidge hur-
ried to the vantage point OF the OBJ

Mr.. Coolidge awoke today to find
himself the possessor of a beautiful

zled him for a while.
He recognized the robe was one of
several that members of his party
