 Dark skinned. alert, a Princeton man, son of wealthy New Eng land family, he started his diplo- matic career in 1912 just in time to be on hand for the birth of the World War. Shifting to Paris, he did neutral inspection work on French camps where German pris- oners were held.
 His big thrill. professionally and personally, came when he went to Russia in 1916. There he married Princess Myra Koudacheff. The legend Is that he saved her life in the revolutionary disorders.
 
 After Ambassador Francis with drew from Russia following the shevik revolution. he left Armour at Vologda as a link with U. 8. consuls remaining in Russia. Rus- slams ordered Armour out. He re- fused to go. Troops entered the embassy and escorted him bag and baggage to a train bound for Mos. cow.

|JOBLESS PARTY SPLIT BY CLASH
 OF TWO LEADERS
William H. (Coin) Harvey Sl-Year-Old Capt and Father Cox Differ and All Over Religious Liberty"
By F. O. BAILEY

United Press Stan Correspondent) )
 St Louis, Aug. 17-(UP)-The fiery clash of two dynamic leaders and a charge by one that the ''re- lgious issue" was raised against him split the "Jobless-Liberty'' party into two ragged bands as they met on the mosquito ridden shores of Lake Creve Couer today to nominate presidential candi- date.
 They were scheduled to convene at Il a. m. (E.D.T.) but it ap- peared doubtful if the convention could get under way as scheduled.
 The dispute grew out of strug- gle between genial Father James H. Cox, Roman Catholic priest of Pittsburg, Pa., and leader of the "Jobless' party and William H. (Coin) Harvey, 81-year-old captain of the Liberty" party.
 The men led their followers, about 1000 in one case of Cox, and 100 in the case of Harvel, to se- parate camp sites a few hundred feet apart after a personla inter view broke up in disorder.
 When Cox at the head of his ragged army arrived in his ''littla blue truck" Harvey unbraided him for failing to bring the 100000 men he had promised.
 The priest asserted he would "be taking food from the mouths oi the jo bless" if he had brought more men and charged Harvey with try ing to defeat his candidacy by raising the religious issue.
 T am disgusted to think that I am to be showed aside to let you go in as the party's presidential nominee" said Harvey.
 Father Cox never steps aside

 Washington, Aug 17.-(UP)- Two hundred thousand homeless American children who plod across 48 states are beset by every phy- sicaf danger--hunger. heat, cold. rain, disease and the possibility of death under a freight train.
 But there Is an even graver dan- ger, according to officials of the children's bureau of the depart ment of labor. It carries the threat of rotting the social fabric of the rising generation.
 In the hobo jungles from Port land, Me, to Portland, Ore. there is only one motto that every one accepts-"Only saps work"
 Dr A. w. McMillen, associate professor of social economies at the University of Chicago who did field work for the children's bu- reau, explains this danger.
 of these boys have been com pelled to leave home because their parents or other relatives cannot support them. Fathers say to their sons: I've lost my job. started out on my own when was lots younger than you sare. Good luck but the fathers do not realize that starting out on your own during an agricultural age when the countryside was friendly and times were good is far different from starting out in a mechanical age when there are no jobs any, where"

Again and again they hear the hobo philosophy that "only saps work" They talk and travel with older men who have been practicing that philosophy successfully for years. They fall easily into the loosely. organized but efficient routine of hobo fife.
