CAMPAIGN TALES UNTRUE S'reaiSent-elect Kow as Always Against Article 10 but tor Proper Association. (Continued Fram First Page.) the proof lies in what is one of the moat interesting unwritten stories of the campaign. CtMEc of Stand Denied. Early in October a. group of the pro league supporters of Senator Harding became alarmed at the newspaper re port to the effect that Harding was yielding to Senators Borah and John son. In this state of alarm they de termined to satisfy themselves before they were willing to go further In their support of Senator Harding. They met in New York and expressed their apprehension in a telegram to Senator Harding. More secretly they-j sent their telegram to Will Hays, who they knew was at Marlon. The tele gram was signed on behalf of the group by Herbert Hoover and Jacob . Oould Schurman, president of Cornell university. The telegram was' a long one and as I say expressed apprehen 6ion lest Harding might yield to pres part from his August 28 speech, sure from Borah and Johnson and de Will Hays got the telegram at Ma rlon and showed it to Senator- Hird ing. Threeupon Senator Harding him eelf sent the foil-owing reply to Messrs. Hoover and Schurman (I quote the telegram from memory, but I am sure that these were the words): "There has been no change; there will be no change. Nothing has been eaid. Nothing will be said in conflict with my August 28 speech. I nope you will see my speech to be deliv ered at Des Moines October 7." Speech Is Approved. ' In suggesting that they should look up his pes Moines speech Senator Harding had in mind- the fact that there was an advance copy of this speech at the New York headquarters available for Mr. Hoover, and Mr. Schurman and the others to look at. They did look at it, read it minutely and expressed due satisfaction with it. Being reassured by it, they went aHead with their plans. In addition to this group, one of the most prominent of the pro-league re-; - publicans in New Tork read the ad vance copy of the Des Moines speech nd expressed enthusiasm for it, say ing: 'That's exactly what we need. That's a real pro-league speech." When most of the newspapers and probably the bulk of the public took the view that the Des Moines speech was a change from the August 28 speech, certainly no one was more surprised than Senator Harding him self. He supposed he had reaffirmed his August 28 speech. What, then, was the cause of the widespread as sumption that he had changed his position? One cause lay in the fact that eeri tain strong expressions of hia attitude on the negative side of the question occurred in the early part of his Des Moines speech, while his expressions on the affirmative side occurred in the latter part of the speech. But this alone would not have accounted for this interpretation if it had not been for the fact that for a week or ten days preceding the newspapers had been full of vague stories of a rift between Harding on th-e one hand and Senators Borah and Johnson on the other. Borah's Influence Not Snows. The theory was widely held that Senator Harding had a motive for changing his position and that that motive was pressure put upon him by Senators Borah and Johnson. For fully four weeks the larger part of the campaign discussion was based upon this assumption. It was said that Senators Borah &nd Johnson had "blackmailed" Mr. Harding Into adopting their position. Another word frequently used in the terminology of the campaign to express what was alleged Q have happened was "black jacked." But of facts as a basis for this as sumption there were literally none. It began with stories in the news papers to the effect that Senator EVERYBODY'S treat: Borah had quarreled with Harding and with the republican national com mittee and was not going to make any more campaign speeches. This expanded into stories to. the effect that Senator Johnson of California was going to do the same. He and Senator Borah had made common cause. Idaho Senator Peeved. Senator Borah, upon returning from on of hia- speech-making trips, called up the speakers' bureau of the repub lican national committee in New York by telephone and asked about a mat ter which was wholly a mere clerical detail of the relations between him and the national committee. The re pry was made that this detail was not in the hands of the New York head quarters, but was in the hands of the Chieago headquarters. Thereupon Senator Borah said something to the Effect that it was of no consequence, anyhow. His reply seemed to express some irritation, and out of this epi sode grew the enormous legend that undoubtedly had a considerable ef fect on the course of the campaign. It would be of little use to consume space here with a, restatement of Sen ator Harding's position on the league. That position is contained both in the August 28 speech and in the October 7 speech at Pes Moines- It is true that there is an inherent difficulty in mak ing Senator Harding o position clear and keeping it clear. This difficulty lies in the fact that his position nec essarily consists of two parts one affirmative and one negative. He is against entering-the present league which includes article ten, and he is not only in favor of entering but will take the initiative toward entering- an association of nations, call it by any name you wish, which does not include article ten and is based upon the principles of an interna tional court.

Active work on colonizing a fertile Island about 40 miles south of Mazatlan, Mex., where she has a T000 acre holding, has been begun by Mrs. Ena M. Harper of Seattle. Wash., who went thither recently from San Diego in the yacht On-Time-Again, of which she ia master and part owner. But Mrs. Harper is not going to experience the' hardships of a pio neer. ""Already 40 families from the Yakima district in Washington state have been taken to the island, and for her own use she is having a costly- hacienda constructed. In the hoLd of the Curacoa when she sailed from San Diego several days ahead of Mrs. i Harper's yacht, was an elec tric lighting anil power plant for use at her home, besides stump-pulling machines, immense tractors and other farming machinery. On the next trip of the steamer 29 farmers and their families from Nogales. Aria., will sail for Mrs. Har per's island to join the new colony. By December, she says, about 150 farmers will be busy there, and during the winter three financiers from the east and one from England will be on hand to help with the development work. Frank Wright of Seattle, head of the Carlisle Fisheries company, will also make a trip to the island during the winter to inspect the fisheries. The yacht On-Time-Again, which is owned jointly by Mrs. Harper and Frank A. Williams, a millionaire of Toppenish, Wash., was recently pur chased for $25,000, and refittedl throughout at an expenditure of al- , most the same sura. The vessel rs 65x15 feet beam, and is propelled ; by Wioton engines. It is luxuriously fitted, and has sleeping quarters for 14 persons. . j On this trip to tor island, Mrs. I Harper has as her guest Mrs. Betty Hanson of Los Angeles.

On the trip from San Francisco to San Diego Victor Clinker, vice-president, ! and relatives, of the Anglo-London and Paris Bank of San Francisco, and relatives of Mrs. Harper from Shang hai were her guests. LABOR .FACES CONTROL Proposal of Germany to Conscript Workers Rouses Opposition. BY CYRIL BROWN. . (Copyright by the New York World. Pub lished by Arrangement.) BERLIN, Nov. (Special cable.) The socialists and the leaders of or ganized labor are intensely aroused over the government's serieus pro posal to enforce "economic militar ism" or labor conscription. The government's position'conflrms rumors , that have been current for some time that the ministries of eco nomics and labor were preparing the draft of a law requiring all young men and women to serve one labor year for the state under conditions which approximate the discipline of the oM Prussian militarism. Such a measure undoubtedly will be submitted to the reichstag at its present session. , It is significant that it has the support of the reactionary and nationalist parties. Probably its champions hope to use this "conscript labor army" measure as a club to beat the "socialization of the coal mines" measure. This latter Is urgently de manded by the socialists and organ ized labor. Both measures should come before the reichstag about the same time. - if 99 Red Rock Cottage Cheese We wonder if you know how delicious it is with .sliced ripe apples or pineapples?
