Another thing that seems to be estab lished Is that the Shamrock's crew are too sluggish for a racer, JfJo doubt the Resolute's crew are well trained, up on their toes and eager to serve, and the Shamrock's crew have larger, and so heavier, sails to handle.

Nominee Says if Elected He Will Refuse to Take Any Steps for Ratifying Treaty if uovenanx 5 tan as as at rresent. By Raymond Clapper . Marlon, Ohio, July 19. (U. P.) Senator Harding, if elected president, will refuse to take any steps toward ratification of the treaty of Versailles while the League of Nations cove nant stands intact, according to the view of his friends here today after a careful study ,of the Republican nominee's latest attack on the pro ject. H TO MEET WITH COX The Republican presidential nominee, they declared, has . -decided to go to the mat with Governor Cox over the league Issue. He is confident, , they said, that the country Is opposed to en tering the league as it was formulated at Paris. : Harding scored ' the treaty of Ver sailles and the League of Nations as Involving a "mistakenly plighted rela tionship of the United States to Ku rope." A preliminary treaty should have been made immediately after the ar mistice in 19 IS and tha question of a League of Nations should have been considered later and Independently of the treaty, Senator Harding Indicated. HARDING'S STATEMENT Harding's statement was prompted by a statement by Colonel House, formerly the president's confidential adviner, who miwu wtc&b JUKI ancrr ino armiBin , the suggestion was made In Paris that the allies at once make a preliminary peace with Germany based upon broad lines. Harding's statement said We are beginning to understand the mistakenly plighted relationship of the United States to Europe Just In time to proceed to a referendum Intelligently. The-one representative of this country other than the president who best knew the whole situation at Paris was Col- onej House. e wiia now in a cabled statement from London, the suggestion of a preliminary peace treaty was made very soon after the armistice and that such a treaty could have been made be fore Christmas, 1919. JUST LIKE 0. 0. P. " "All along this has been the Repub lican conception of what o4ight to have been done, but this is the first official knowledge that Europe wished each a procedure and was deterred by us In ex pediting peace. The authentic relation Is Interesting at the moment when it Is announced that the continuation of Dem ocratic administration means a continu ation of the history of the foreign pol icy which has so grievously diss pointed both Europe and America." Harding's attack on the league to day was his second within a week, both statements openly displaying hostility to the covenant. Furthermore, he has announced his opposition to virtually all of President Wilson's foreign poli cies,' including his proposed Adriatic settlement, his alleged proposal to award Thrace- to Bulgaria. Instead of Greece, and the Armenian mandate. Harding said he was glad to have Cox -and Wilson express agreement on the league issue. He took the view this would make the league fight clear-cut. "The Republican party wants the country to know that it rejects all these ill-considered commitments and pledges' its administration against them," Harding declared. : He also asserted heavy armaments will nM.u,rv In rurrv ftnf t h..a policies. ': 50,000 ARRESTS FIRST DRY SEASOil Washington. July 19. (U. P.) More than 80,000 arrests were made during the first six months of con stitutional prohibition Just clotted. Prohibition Commissioner Kramer's annual report, soon , to be issued, is expected". to make this estimate. Data on which Kramer la to' base the report is being received from enforce ment . agents all over the f untry. A large percentage of arrests were made by local police co-operating with Kramer, but not directly responsible to him. The number of these arrests can only be estimated, slncu reports are received only from federal agents by Kramer. A total - of 50,000 urrests would ind I cate that on an average of one in every two thousand - persons in the United States was charged with violation of the prohibition laws. This average, however, gives but an Inadequate Idea, federal officials said, of the actual number of violations of the law, since presumably a large num ber -of violators were not detected.
