It finds America the slacker among na ; tions, refusing to complete the task so nobly begun. So far as I America is concerned, her dead have died in vain, and the nation has turned back to the "normalcy" of armaments and imperialism. Discarded are the inspirations and idealism that armed the nation in a righteous cause, and discredited the great leader who as spokesmn for humanity, forced the first effort to unite the world for peace.

She has not ' j kept the faith. Her national honor is tarnished. The world is resentful of her aloofness, her prestige abroad is shattered, and faith in her near the vanishing point. The policy of! seltish isolation, of denying a helping hand to shattered Europe, of refusing to ccoperte to establish peace, is not one the nation can be proud of in future years. We celebrate today the triumph of a great cause in war. We do not celebrate the failure of that same cause in peace.. The faith of America in America, however, leads us to hope that ere another Armistice day rolls around, America, emerged from the dismal swamp of politics, recovered from the reaction of war, will be found cooperating with her sister nations to preserve the peace of the world and that we can celebrate the complete victory of the cause for which our boys made the supreme sacrifice in France with America a tnembcr of the League of Nations.

Cabinet Possibilities David Lawrence, the Washington correspondent declares that President-elect Harding has indicated his choice for cabinet officers as follows : Secretary of State, Philander C. Knox of Pennsylvania; secretary of treasury, Governor Frank 0. Lowden of Illinois; attorney general, Harry Daugherty of Ohio; secretary of war, General John J. Persh ing: secretary of the navy, former Senator John W. Weeks of Massachusetts ; secretary of agriculture, Henry Wallace of Iowa; secretary of labor, either Representative Nolan ef California or -John F. Burke of Pennsylvania; post-master general, Will H. Hays of Indiana; secretary of commerce, former Governor Stokes of New Jersey, or Albert D. Lasker nf Chicago. For secretary of the interior, eeither Senator Fall of New Mexico or former Senator Sutherland of Utah. These selections are said to be Harding's first choice and likely to win appointment, although of course the list is sub ject to revision. Some of them are certain to be found in the cabinet. The list is notable for the elimination of Root, Taft, Hughes, Lodge and Hoover, and all members of the progres sive wing of the party. Root is said to be out of tune with Harding's foreign policies. Taft and Hughes will likely be appoint later to the supreme bench. Hoover will probably he offered some foreign mission. Lodge will remain senate JtJiltiOit. Ihe cabinet, as announced, is safely reactionary. Knox, ' representing the steel interest, is opposed to the League of Nations and author of the resolution for a seperate peace with Germany as well as father of "dollar" diplomacy. Daugherty, Harding's manager, is a professional politician and lobbyist for big business: the selection of Lowden eotfld probably not bo improved upon; Weeks is a reactionary ot the deepest dye: Pershing will militarize the civilian con trol of the army; Wallace is a farm journal editor; Hays is : orofpssinnjil rmHrfotan nriH aamwfsmr n-f tl-m rnnnhlinon q . . 1 ... , ... , ,. ;, , '. j "This is amazing.

"It is a matter of creedf' said Grismer grimly. "It was. God's will." " Cleland shrugged. "Let it go at that.
