(Copyright by the New York Evening Pot, int. ruoiisnto or Arrangement.) WASHINGTON. D. C, May 21. Both for those who try to understand a complex thing, and those who try to make it clear, there are various devices for simplicity of these. One of the most frequently useful Is to picture a situation in terms of the men who figure m it. It is a part of that philosophy which says that what will come out of any situation . win always be whatever is the net i-fuunt of the pulling an. hauling 01 me sirong men in it, and that the whole tangle of the world altogether comes down to strong men seeking meir own ends in their own ways. aometimes at cross purposes, some' times in co-operation. Harding; Firm ta urpoae. Such a picture of Washington be gins of course with Harding. His dominant trait and Dumose continue to be, as in the beginning, harmony. ooa ieenng ana back to normalcy." But everybody has learned by this time that while to Harding harmony means extreme consideration for the rights and feelings of others, it is as lar as possible from meaning willing ness to abandon his own purposes, nor easy-going compromise. Harding will squirm and shrink from doing or saying a disagreeable thing. He will show obvious discomfort in his resistance to those who want him to do what his own judgment does not Indorse. He will go to any length to leave a rood taste in the mouth of one who Is necessarily disappointed at the end of a transaction with him but in the end Harding follows his own ends as steadily and surely as any public man in Washington. It is a striking fact that this president who was to be the "creature of a senatorial oligarchy," has given the senate, in his soft-speech way, more rebukes than it has ever had from any presi dent in the same length of time. Harding has his own programme about our foreign relations and his own determinations to support the secretary of state, who is his own choice. That programme goes for ward slowly and steadily and, in the judgment of all except a very few. satisfactorily. Irreconcilable Are St rone:.

' For the purposes of those European problems which are most immediate these two are the big men of the cabinet. Some of the irreconcilable senators are suspicious of Hoover and Hughes as not having hared the irreconcilable attitude to ward the league of nations. But this uspicion is a decreasing quantity. And every Indication promises a smooth working out of our foreign problems by Harding and his ad viser. Hoover works too hard. He plunges into work in the spirit of headlong self-forgetfulness with which some men go into dissipation. Just lately there has been some con cern about Hoover's health and his friends have been engaged in an ef essary to offer inducements to get men to go there. The inducements which are still maintained Include free house rent and one-fourth added to the prevailing rate of wages in the United States. It is this kind of problem, scattered all the way from Panama to Alaska, that engages the cabinet's daily attention. DREDGE WORKER DROWNS S. Wilson of John Day Goes Down ' When Boat Upsets. BAKER.

When you Witch him at ono of those big receptions, shaking hands with long lines of visitors, you can notice his tired personality, grasping at even that few seconds of rest which his tired features can get between shak ing hands with one man and beaming on the next. If the writer seems to lay unusual emphasis on the mere element of fa tigue in public men, it is because anyone who reported the peace con ference knows better than the public i commonly does.

In vestigation of patents and applica tions for patents recently filed in this country by German citizens and assigned to Frederick Krupp, Ger- man munitions maker, reveals "the rather striking circumstance" that of 228 such patents and applications so far investigated, the majority have to do with military appliances, the war department announced tonight. "The investigation disclosed," the statement said, authorized, by Secre tary Weeks, "rather striking circum stances in view of the conditions which Germany is supposed to ob serve as to disarmament and the man ufacture of war materials under her treaty obligations. Of the 228 pat ents and applications for patents as signed to Krupps, 26 were found to relate to artillery fire control 'devices, 18 to eleciric control apparatus, nine to fuses and projectiles, six to gas engines, 17 to guns, three to processes for the production of metals, ten to naval fire control devices, three to projectiles and devices for handling them, 14 to railroad artillery and the balance to varied uses, most of which might well relate to military use." I In the course of the investigation. ' the statement said, it was found that a large number of patents relating, among other subjects, - to airplanes and their accessories, chemicals, dyes, radio apparatus and naval equipment had been assigned to other German companies besides Kruppa Careful Investigation is being made into all these assignments. Secretary Weeks announced, adding that "con siderable progress has been made looking toward the introduction of corrective measures in congness for the protection of those American in dustries in which the war department is especially interested against the recurrence of this insidious patent activity by Germany.
