HARDING BEGINS
CRUSADE AGAINST
LEAGUE NATION
.i.
Marion, O., July 19.?Assuran
that the league of nations will le
all other issues in the campaign
seen by the advisors of Senator Hai
ing in over Sunday developmc
around the camp fires of the two I
parties.
The announcement in Washingt
that Governor Cox stands in perfe
accord with President Wilson is tak
here to mean a straight out plea 1
the Democratic party for vindicate
and perpetuation of the Wilson fc
eign policy. A policy, against whii
^senator Harding and all of his lie
tenants here are ready to make t'
tight of their political lives.
Even before yesterday's Whi
House conference was conclud
Senator Harding had <fonjectur<
this significance and outcome and hi
taken the aggressive in a public stat
ment demanding that the "mysterioi
foreign commitments" embraced
the President's program be outlini
. in detail so the American peop
might know what they were asked
support. At the same time he ga'
assurances that the Republican par
never would accept that program.
The Senator's statement 0 -ealh
directly on Governor Cox to put hir
self on record in regard to Artie
ten, the Armeian mandate and oth<
subjects on which Mr. Wilson hi
found himself in conflict with the R
publican Senate and with some ii
fluential Democrats. The feeling
the Harding camp today was that tl
next move was up to the Democrat
nominee.
The allacrtty with which the leagi
issue has come to the fore has cau
ed manifest surprise at Harding
headquarters here. Many of tl
Senators close associates had noe e
jjijvivu uvvwrnor uox, so me (goons
sive measures to hold the hands <
the present administration with whi<
he has not been closely associate
In that event they considered it po
sible that the league might be thru
more or less with the background. S
far however, the other ordinarily in
portant issues have failed to supply
paramount point of conflict and th:
circumstance is expected to help ke<
the league in the spot light. . T1
Harding managers are not unmin
ful that within their own party the:
is some division of the opinion r
garding the league but they belic^
that on a direct issue of acceptan
of the Wilson policy without the do
ting of an "I" or the crossing of
"T" they can count on a united R
publican front. They also are co
fident that such an issue will drive
wedge through Democratic solidai
and they do not propose to overloo
any opportunity thus to carry tl
jig in* uibu me enemy n wjrntory.
Marion, 0., July 19.?Pressing h
fight against the "splendid accon

tor Harding dec.ared in a stateme:
today that triumph of the Democrat
ticket this year would mean "a cp
tinuation of the foreign policy whi<
has so greviously disappointed bo
Europe and America."
Apparently foreseeing the leagi
as a paramount campaign issue as
result of the White House conferen
the Republicn candidate adopted ai
aggressive program of striking
the Wilson policy whereever it sho
ed its head. He took for the text
today's attack a statement on t!
league attributed to Colonel Hou
and just published in this country.

PRINCE JOACHIM
COMMITS SUICIDE
Berlin, July 19.?Friends of Prince
Joachim of Hohenszollem Deny
stroies current in Berlin that his
suicide at Potsdam Sunday was
brought about by scandal. They say
that aside from his marital disappointment,
the Prince was acutely
embarrassed through his 'restricted
finances. Like his brothers, he is believed
to have been sadly in need of
funds, owning to the limited allowance
from the crown funds permitted
him by the Prussian Government
Prince Jochiam is also reported to
have been brooding over the ultimate
fate of the royal house and the
critisim to which his father has been
subjected in Germany.
By those who were close to the
ITr>Vinr>Tnllorn fomlir wkan If nrna tn
power in Berlin, Prince Joachim was
said to have been the favorite son of
t he fomer German empress and fears
are expressed that the news of his
suicide may have a fatal effect on
her, also she recently suffered an
acute recurrence of her heart trouble.
Doom Holland, July 19.?The announcement
of Prince Joachim's
death came to Doom Castle like a
thunderbolt.
The former German Empress, who
during the last week has been again
seriously troubled by her heart ailments
is believed not to have been
informed of the tragedy. The ExEmperor,
however, has been told of
it, and has been greatly affected by
the untimely end of his favorite son.
Prince Joachim saw his parents
quiet recently, it having been only the
middle of June when he paid them a
visit at Doom Castle here.
