"I can only speak to yen today as a private citizen, but I have in my heart the pride of a private citizen of America in such a representation of American manhood. When it is my Hma t f>nmc infra rncnnnafhiKtv T want to have your confidence. I know you will have mine. I hope you will continue in your devotion and service to your country, but at the same time I hope you will never have to fire a gun in defense of your country." When Senator Harding reached the tabernacle the audience was singing religious hymns and he asked for one more before he began his speech, rhen he paid a tribute to the influence pf religion, declaring that if he did not believe there was a God to aid mankind he never would want to take the responsibilities of the presidency. "Neither would I want to be President If 1 did not feel that I would havd" your help," he continued. "1 want a united nation and I want lomehow to appeal for that underitanding that will have the people of the old Confederacy understand that that's only a memory. Tribute to Administration. "I cannot talk to you today about public policies and proposals, because there is yet a proper and respected administration in power and I'd be the last man in America to give offense to the President or his friends by assuming responsibilities before my time. So I can only say that I want to know you and want you to know me because we're -going to work together; and, God helping us, we're going to preserve representative popalar government. "I do not speak In criticism of any party or any personality. I believed rery much in an essential antocracy for the winning of the war. but now inaL in over i wane ine restoration »f normal government. "Among other things I want to see America the greatest maritime nation on the face of the earth. I have a profound conviction that if ouf America had been possessed of a great merchant marine as an auxiliary of national defense, our rights never would have been affronted by the central powers. "A lot of old hide-bound democrats and a lot of miserable old mug-wump republicans have been utterly Mind to the idea of the American nation giving a thought to an adequate merchant marine. If the I* Fellette Seamen's Act represents the conscience of the American people, and I believe it does, then the American government ought to step in and share the burden it imposes. Urges Turnover of Ships. "1 want to call attention that the chief propogandists against subsidies for American ships were the agents Df the Hamburg-Amercan and North German Lloyd steamship lines. I don't know whether their opposition was Inspired by selfish competition or whether it was due to a far-reaching design of the ruling class of the central empires; sometimes aspiring monarchs think of these things, and I believe the ruler of Germany was looking forward to world domination. "What I want for America is that the ten million tons of shipping we builded in haste during the war shall be turned over to private management under government encouragement. And I want above all that we shall preserve one thing more. We must preserve the majesty of government and of law, and these rest on the Constitution. And I want the clttsens of Virginia to Join the citizens of Ohio, and the citlsens of Maine to join the citizens of California, in one concord of American union and consecration to the service or our common country."

These Mm principally at securing compulsory arbitration by the international court of justice, the admission of all states and the election of all members of the council Instead of only four as now. The Argentine delegate explained that he had expected to leave for Rome next Monday, but now had decided to remain to see what action the assembly might take at Monday's session. He declared he was sup- ported by many of the South Ameri- can states. No Qaesttoa of Legality. Referring to the reports in Argen- tina that France was questioning the constitutionality of Argentina's ad- herence to the league and the status jf the nation's delegation at Geneva, M. Pueyrredon asserted: 1 "There is no question of the abso- lute legality of our adherence to the league or the complete authority of my delegation to act for Argentina »i tne assempiy. "Ab to the report that my program is pro-German, that ia absurd. I have no country in mind. I merely feel that the league, to be an effective international body, must include all the nations of the world." Senor Pueyrredon recalls that the nvlta«on received by the Argentine Republic announced amendnqpnts to the covenant and that his govertnent then prepared a series of projects, which he summarised in the assembly >n November 17. "It is necessary to distinguish among the amendments in general," the note adds, "those that might have relation to the treaty of Versailles From those intended to modify the i :ovenant in the noble object of guar- in teeing humanity against war and insuring practical solidarity and ] equality among the states. i "All the amendments proposed by Argentina are In the second category. rhey are: Admission of all sovereign i states; admission of all the smaller ] states without the right to vote; com- position of the council of the league ] by democratic election; an Interna- ] tional court with obligatory juris- i iictlon. 1 Contribution of Argentina.

On the ] :ontrary, they give fuller amplitude , :o the directing organization and tend | o fortify the league by associating' , vith its work all civilized humanity." J The note asserts that it is by acts ) :he league will be judged, and re- i narks: "The members of the assembly will separate in a few days without a laving considered great - constltu- i :ional questions which might have i iffered to public opion the best guar- 1 mt'ee of the amplitude and organic 1 rigor of the league. "The Argentine delegation would lave accepted adjournment of a I proposition of secondary importance. 3ut cannot consent to put off those thatr would oomplete and fortify the institution." While respecting- contrary opinion, le says: "We would be unfaithful to >ur line of conduct if, after having Irmly maintained our principles In ieclarations and in the commissions, ive had not chosen a course which we esteem is alone in harmony with ;he profound convictions that prompted our government to adhere to the frand project of the league of nations." Senor Pusyrredon points out that it was the principal object of the Argentine government in sending delegates here to co-operate by amendments to the covenant and to co-operate In the constitution of a chapter in which all hoped to And inscribed the ideals Argentina always entertained and concludes: "In accord with the government I have the honor to inform the presiient and, through him, the assembly, that the Argentine delegation considers its mission terminated." Resolution la Dispute. The resolution introduced in the issembly by the Argentine delegation, providing that all sovereign recognised states shall be members it the league unless they voluntarily ibstain, says: "The force of the league resides in the incorporation of the greatest number of states.

BALTIMORE, Md., December 4 (Special)..Due to his superior faith in the standard bearers of his party, as well t as bis superior knowledge of tbe po- ' litlcal situation in Maryland fully a j month before the national election, j Bralnard H. Warner, Jr., of Washing- I ton and about twenty-lire of his »e- j tect friends sat down to a real Maryland dinner tonight at the Maryland j Club, at the expense of W.

Mr. j Warner was very confident of the re- suit, and among other things predict- ed that Harding would carry Maryland by 40,000, to which Ml*. Lowndes, although having the advantage of being a Marylander, as well as one of the leaders of the republican party of the state, took exception and ventured the prediction that Mr. Warner was " at least 30,000 out the Wgy. The re- 1 suit of this difference of opfnioa was I the wagering of a dinner to twenty- ' ftvd guests to selected by the win- i ner.

its commerce, and then everlastinglydetermined to defend its commerce andits rights.

"I can only speak to yen today asa private citizen, but I have in myheart the pride of a private citizenof America in such a representation ofAmerican manhood. When it is myHma t r» f>nmc infra rncnnnafhiKtv Twant to have your confidence. I knowyou will have mine. I hope you willcontinue in your devotion and serviceto your country, but at the same timeI hope you will never have to fire a gunin defense of your country."When Senator Harding reached the

tabernacle the audience was singingreligious hymns and he asked for onemore before he began his speech,rhen he paid a tribute to the influencepf religion, declaring that if he didnot believe there was a God to aidmankind he never would want to takethe responsibilities of the presidency."Neither would I want to be PresidentIf 1 did not feel that I would

havd" your help," he continued. "1want a united nation and I wantlomehow to appeal for that underitandingthat will have the peopleof the old Confederacy understand thatthat's only a memory.

Tribute to Administration."I cannot talk to you today about

public policies and proposals, becausethere is yet a proper and respectedadministration in power and I'd bethe last man in America to giveoffense to the President or his friendsby assuming responsibilities beforemy time. So I can only say that I wantto know you and want you to knowme because we're -going to work together;and, God helping us, we'regoing to preserve representative popalargovernment."I do not speak In criticism of any

party or any personality. I believedrery much in an essential antocracyfor the winning of the war. but nowinaL in over i wane ine restoration»f normal government."Among other things I want to see

America the greatest maritime nationon the face of the earth. I have a profoundconviction that if ouf Americahad been possessed of a great merchantmarine as an auxiliary of national defense,our rights never would have beenaffronted by the central powers."A lot of old hide-bound democrats

and a lot of miserable old mug-wumprepublicans have been utterly Mind tothe idea of the American nation givinga thought to an adequate merchantmarine. If the I* Fellette Seamen'sAct represents the conscience of theAmerican people, and I believe it does,then the American government oughtto step in and share the burden it imposes.

Urges Turnover of Ships."1 want to call attention that the

chief propogandists against subsidiesfor American ships were the agentsDf the Hamburg-Amercan and NorthGerman Lloyd steamship lines. Idon't know whether their oppositionwas Inspired by selfish competition orwhether it was due to a far-reachingdesign of the ruling class of the centralempires; sometimes aspiringmonarchs think of these things, and Ibelieve the ruler of Germany waslooking forward to world domination."What I want for America is that

the ten million tons of shipping webuilded in haste during the war shallbe turned over to private managementunder government encouragement.And I want above all that weshall preserve one thing more. Wemust preserve the majesty of governmentand of law, and these rest onthe Constitution. And I want theclttsens of Virginia to Join the citizensof Ohio, and the citlsens ofMaine to join the citizens of California,in one concord of Americanunion and consecration to the serviceor our common country."

would not resume her place in theassembly until it had passed the foyritmendments he had proposed. TheseMm principally at securing compulsoryarbitration by the internationalcourt of justice, the admission of allstates and the election of all membersof the council Instead of onlyfour as now.The Argentine delegate explained

that he had expected to leave forRome next Monday, but now had decidedto remain to see what actionthe assembly might take at Monday'ssession. He declared he was sup-ported by many of the South Ameri-can states.

No Qaesttoa of Legality.Referring to the reports in Argen-

tina that France was questioning theconstitutionality of Argentina's ad-herence to the league and the statusjf the nation's delegation at Geneva,M. Pueyrredon asserted: 1

"There is no question of the abso-lute legality of our adherence to theleague or the complete authority ofmy delegation to act for Argentina»i tne assempiy."Ab to the report that my program

is pro-German, that ia absurd. I haveno country in mind. I merely feelthat the league, to be an effective internationalbody, must include all thenations of the world."Senor Pueyrredon recalls that thenvlta«on received by the ArgentineRepublic announced amendnqpnts tothe covenant and that his govertnentthen prepared a series of projects,which he summarised in the assembly>n November 17."It is necessary to distinguishamong the amendments in general,"the note adds, "those that might haverelation to the treaty of VersaillesFrom those intended to modify the i:ovenant in the noble object of guar-inteeing humanity against war andinsuring practical solidarity and ]equality among the states. i"All the amendments proposed by

Argentina are In the second category.rhey are: Admission of all sovereign istates; admission of all the smaller ]states without the right to vote; com-position of the council of the league ]by democratic election; an Interna- ]tional court with obligatory juris- iiictlon. 1

Contribution of Argentina. '

"These projects were brought here Jis Argegtina'8 contribution to the ,

vork begun; none of them diminished:be obligation of the members, none ]estricted collective effort. On the ]:ontrary, they give fuller amplitude ,

:o the directing organization and tend |o fortify the league by associating' ,

vith its work all civilized humanity." JThe note asserts that it is by acts )

:he league will be judged, and re- inarks: "The members of the assemblywill separate in a few days without alaving considered great - constltu- i:ional questions which might have iiffered to public opion the best guar- 1mt'ee of the amplitude and organic 1rigor of the league."The Argentine delegation would

lave accepted adjournment of a Iproposition of secondary importance.3ut cannot consent to put off thosethatr would oomplete and fortify theinstitution."While respecting- contrary opinion,

le says: "We would be unfaithful to>ur line of conduct if, after havingIrmly maintained our principles Inieclarations and in the commissions,ive had not chosen a course whichwe esteem is alone in harmony with;he profound convictions that promptedour government to adhere to thefrand project of the league of nations."Senor Pusyrredon points out that it

was the principal object of theArgentine government in sendingdelegates here to co-operate byamendments to the covenant and toco-operate In the constitution of achapter in which all hoped to And inscribedthe ideals Argentina alwaysentertained and concludes:"In accord with the government I

have the honor to inform the presiientand, through him, the assembly,that the Argentine delegation considersits mission terminated."

Resolution la Dispute.The resolution introduced in the

issembly by the Argentine delegation,providing that all sovereignrecognised states shall be membersit the league unless they voluntarilyibstain, says:"The force of the league resides in

standard bearers of his party, as well tas bis superior knowledge of tbe po- '

litlcal situation in Maryland fully a jmonth before the national election, jBralnard H. Warner, Jr., of Washing- Iton and about twenty-lire of his »e- jtect friends sat down to a real Marylanddinner tonight at the Maryland jClub, at the expense of W. Bladen 4Lowndes, first vice president of the sFidelity Trust Company of Baltimore. £In the early part of October Mr. sWarner and Mr. Lowndes were die- tsussing the political situation gen- serally, and naturalty the talk driftedas to how Maryland would go. Mr. jWarner was very confident of the re-suit, and among other things predict-ed that Harding would carry Marylandby 40,000, to which Ml*. Lowndes,although having the advantage of beinga Marylander, as well as one ofthe leaders of the republican party ofthe state, took exception and venturedthe prediction that Mr. Warner was "

at least 30,000 out the Wgy. The re- 1suit of this difference of opfnioa was Ithe wagering of a dinner to twenty- 'ftvd guests to b« selected by the win- iner. Mr. Warner was to pay far thedinner if Harding carried the stateby less than 20,000, and Mr. Lowndes .

was to do the honors if the republl- jcan victory in Maiyland went over 1that figure. :The official canvass of the vote was jmade public last week and showed 1that Harding carried the state by 158,491, and tonight Mr. Warner and <jhis guests enjoyed a real Maryland tdinner at the expense of Mr. Lowndes.
