JO-The real ilaht I between the r administration forcea and th radical! In tha oomtng meeting- of Congress beginning with special session which Preaident Hard ln h nailed for November 10 will be over whether a ipoolal aeaalon will t. Wl nfter March 4. next. The Preaident la above all desirous not to have the newly elected Congress In Washington before tha Tegular time for Ita aaaembly In Deoember, !., ' '- . ' The new Conrrsss will present all aorta of difficulties which "toe deea not wih to face any aooner man necessary. Tha Republican majority in oth houaea will be narrow.. A radical bloo will hold, tha balance of sower. Indeed Senator Ifollette alone will nrobablv have enough fol lowers In both houaea to dictate terms on organisation of commltteea and on legislation. - Moreover Mr. Harding is tired. Mrs. Harding la unwell. And the desire to get away from Washington for a Vacation la strong. 1 On the other hand, the radicals will probably desire to see a special ses sion. They have been elected on pledgee to bring about ehangea In tha Bsch -Cummins railroad law and In the taxation aystsm of tha United States. Tha voters In their statee are restless and dlsalTeoted. They will wish to act quickly and consolidate their positions.' . v i ; Flgat trar oblleaaritrol....:: ' Tha whole time ot tha ,ne Con gress will b talfen up with fight , for control, of the Republican party. And the radical minority occupying a strong strategic position In both houses will probably wish to begin this as soon as possible. ' They will be unwilling to wait until December, 1SJ, when tha national eampalgn f 1114 la on tha point of beginning, to start their maneuver :' f Mr. Hajdlng'e toT th Novem ber 80 session Is general. Me does pot mention the ship subsidy which was originally the chief object he had tn mind' In calling Congress early. From this It would appear that Tie no longer has great hope of .getting a aubsldr bill -through and In bringing Congress back his chief objeot Is to gain time and avoid If possible the . necessity ot inviting me newiy eieci d membera here after March 4. The shin subsidy bill ' never had good prospects. Opposition to It was o atrong In tha last session that the Preaident had to give up passing It. the congressional leaders telling him that Its passage would lose the party many aeats In the west. Had there been an unquestionable Republican victory on election day, Mr. Harding's prestige would have been so height ened that he might have forced through a ship subsidy bill.' But Harding Is weakened and the oppo nents of the bill are strengthened by the results. All those Republican congressmen from other than sea-' board atatea who managed to aacape disaster on Tuesday will be chary of inviting a. retirement to private life a two years hence by voting for a bill which their communities oppose. The test observers here feel thst the ship subsidy bill Is dead. f War Frauds Fight. ' Tha real fight In the coming ses sion will be over art Investigation of tha attorney general's handling of th war frauds, over th repeal of tha Esch-Oummlns Isw, and over taxation. Thoae who wish to force an Investigation of Mr. Daugherty or railroad legislation may tie Up some of the appropriation bills, for which 'there Is alwaya little enough time In th ahort session, and thus compel the calling; of an extra session in the spring. And once they get this extra session all the fat will be In th (Ire. A strong party organisation would have all It could do to put the ap proprlatlon bills and other absolute ly necessary legislation through in ith short session to come, lengthen d as it Is by Mr. Harding's calling Congress here two weeks ahead of ' time. Mr. Harding desiring to put nothing In the way of this result will hardly press a contentious ques tlon like th ship subsidy. Ha la ex pected to recommend It but If opposi tion arises ns win let it aia. Organisation Not Efficient, For his party organisation Is ,not fflclent. And It will be weaker the coming session than It was In " th last, for the radlcala araiencour aged by Tuesday' voting. Mr, Harding ta in an unhappy po' sltlon so far as his program la coh' " cerned. - His only hope of getting th bills he wants lies In the pres ent Congress.- But If he asks toi much and Is urgent he will clog'up Congress and make a special session next spring inevitatxe.

Little doubt was felt here tbday that Senator Sim mons would be chosen Democratlo leader of the senate during the (1th Congress. The names vf a number of senators have been mentioned In th press reports, these Including Senators Pat Harrison, Walsh, and Robinson, but It la unlikely that Mr. Harrison will receive serious consid eration In this respect, since the Mississippi senator la Just getting a good atart on hla first term. Messrs. Walsh and Robinson are known to look with favor on the proposal to otter the leadership to the North Carolina aenator with virtual unani mity. As hitherto pointed out, the post will be one of the highest import ance, as the reaponslbllley will 'de volve upon the Democratic leader to ahape the plans and pollclea of hla party with a view to their, effect up on the presidential campaign. Th Impression Is that Senator Simmons will be found willing to accept the reaponslbllley If there Is no contest, and tha other minority aenatora show a disposition to get behind him In the right spirit. May Pat Beam Over. There waa a lot of talk here today to the effect that bonus legislation for tha soldiers can be put over the presidential veto at the next regular aeaalon. Some of the membera at tribute their mlsfortunea on election day to the defeat of thla legislation, and their position Is that as a matter of political expediency aomethlng must be done about It before the presldenltal election.

F0RTESCUE WILL NOT SPEAK AT WEST POINT Englishman's Bitter Attack on America Causes Mr. Weeks to Recall Invitation. Washington, Nov. 10. Brig. Gen. Slayden. commander of the 'military academy at west Point, has been directed by Secretary Weeks to re call ail invitation given to John For tescue, president of the Royal His torical society, to address the cadets on Armistice day. A formal state ment Issued today by the war secre tary said the reason for his action was found In statements contained In a reoent book written -by Fortescue entitled "British Statesmen of the Great War.". The secretary quoted this passage: ."Americans esteem a good bargain, even If gained by dishonorable meana, to mark the highest form of ability. The United States cannot engage In any form of competition with us, from athletics to diplomacy, without using foul play. They must win. If -not by fair skill, then , by pre-ar ranged trickery or violence; If not by open negotiations, then by garbled mapa and forged documenta. There Is the fact. It may be unpleasant, but It cannot be denied." "An, author entertaining these sen timents," Mr, Weeks said, "Is not con sidered to be a proper person to ad dress the students of a government academy." Mr. Fortescue la understood to be visiting the United States for the purpose of delivering a series of lec tures in this country. Have yoo tried a Hoover en yoar ear pets? Free trial.

The commission asked gen eraliy for the employers' view or the direction which should be given Its efforts in the endeavor to comply with the law requiring it to ascertain all the facts concerning coal produc tion, and the operators' letter set out seven points which they consid ered should be covered, as follows: List of tke Points. "1. The effect on production and on the price of coal, to the con sumer, of the monopolistic and ab sentee control of mln labor In the United States. "2. The opposition of organised labor to the Introduction of labor- saving machinery. "1. The non-observance by organ laed labor of contracts made on Its behalf. "4. The existing prices of mining materials and supplies and a' com parlson between them and the prices existing prior to the war. 6. The existing freight rates, and a comparison between them and the rates existing prior to the war. ( The effect of inadequate trans portatlon facilities on production and cost of coal. 7.

Strikes occur from time ta time at Individual mine by reason of local causes," the letter said. "They are always an economic loss. They are usually a breach of contract on the part of ths miners. Tfe Donbt ot Caaae "There can be no doubt that the fundamental cause of such local strikes, as well as strikes of a nation-wide charcater, like those of 1911 and 192!. Is the despotic control of approximately (0 per cent of the mine labor of the United States and Canada by a single organisation, with power to stop at will the pro duction and movement of Interstate commerce of approximately (0 per cent of the normal output of the country. In the opinion of this com mittee the continuation, to say noth ing of any further extension of the autocratic power of the United Mine Workers of America, would he calamitous to the general welfare of the country. Wage payments can not be stand ardised, the operators contended tn answering another specific question, because of variance in living costs and conditions In various sections of the United States. Further, a sug gestlon from the commission that over-production In coal mines might be met by closing down non- economic mines,, under statutory authority to be hereafter created, was strongly attacked. "We know of no way tn which any mine may be closed down contrary to the wish of the owner, except by the operation of economic law," the operatora declared. Competition la Favored.

This will be In accord with a cuatom established last year when aeveral thousand af ter paying tribute to the unknown soldier went to the WHlson home and showed the esteem In which they held the former President. Last year they received a simple little greeting and they hop for th same tomorrow. Observanc of tha day elsewhere through the nation will be varied but In the opinion of the President aa voiced in his message should make for appraisal of tha nation's relation ship to world affairs.' "The Increasing enthusiasm with which our people Join In the annual observance of Armistice -day," the Preaident said, "enforces the oonclu slon that It Is destined to be one of the notable anniversaries. In our cal endar, and Indeed It well deserves t be all of that, for It marks tha vic torious culmination of our nation's most impressive participation In the affairs of the world. We shall not go amiss If ws seek to make our ob servance of this anniversary, not on ly this year but every year hereaf ter, an occasion for appraisal of our relationship to and participation In those wider concerns which Involve the weirare of all mankind.

"I think we have come to realise, aa a nation, that w can not hop to avoid obligations and responsibili ties; often arduous and burdensome aa part of the price we must pay for our fortunate relationship to the confraternity of tha nation. It will be greatly to th national benefit. am sure, If those who most intimate ly participate In the events of the great world war, and among them I of course, include particularly the men of the oversea forces, shall al ways keep. In mind the fact that their noble service to their country and civilisation has Imposed upon us a duty to recognise that hencefor ward we must maintain a helpful and sustaining attitude In all the broader relationships that Involve the nations... Our- drat duty will, In deed b to our own, but that duty can not be adequately discharged In narrowness and selfishness. "That we may be guided to a Just judgment of the time and occaslos. for further proof of our Interest In the common cause of humanity, and In choosing the methods whereby to discharge the obligation thus cre sted, will be, I am aura, a fitting prayer for this Armistice anniversa ry." Visit Arlington Cemetery The visit of the President to Ar lington will be his first official act of the day. ' Attended by his military aldea and accompanied by the two secretaries, each attended by his aldea, the Preaident will leave the White House aoon after nine o'clock and, traversing the route over which the funeral proceaaion of the un known soldier paaaed a year ago, will proceed to the national cemetery.

The trouble marking th attempt to celebrate the anniversary la merely a ripple on the surface, but provides a warning of the. coming storm. Japan'a Imperial family with lta posi tion and title supported by centuries of uninterrupted reign stands serene ly aloof from the whirlpool of unrest. The emperor, or rather the prince regent, la removed from politics and upheld as a heaven-deacended ruler. No crown anywhere is as seoure as hla But however oertaln may b hla retention aa nominally abaolute ruler, Japan'a present government faces a period of great stress and trial. In spite of .the much flaunted em peror worship, police restrictions and other precautions, I am convinced Japan will develop aoctallstlcally much more rapidly than any one al moat now expects.

A HASTY DISARMENT SED Alton Parker, Before Civic Organization, Says America Needs Army as Nucleus L BUT WORK FOR PEACE sr Asnelitod Frew) . New Tork, Nov. 10. America's at titude on the great International problems blocking world peace was discussed today at the opening ses sion of the National Clvlo Federa tion's conference, attended by repre sentatives of 65 national organisa tions with a membership of $0,000, 000. Hasty disarmament by the United States was criticised by sev eral speakers whose views on Amercla'a entrance Into the league of nations were as varied as their views of disarmament wer similar. Alton B. Parker, who presided, declared th United State needed a well manned navy and a atrong armv to be kept at the highest state of efficiency as a nucleus for a great military machine In the event of, war. "It appears," he said, "that ths powers, loaded with debts, plan to win with new wars what they lost In paat wars. They have gone mad, but the Monroe doctrine will prevent this hemisphere being drawn Into the conflagration. "We should work for peace but never, forget to .keep our powder dry." Mr. Parker advocated America's entrance into the league while Klon H. Hooker, chairman of the Ameri can Defense Society, urged an op posite view. Mr. Hooker declared that America must maintain a strong armed force and mentioned aa Issuss which America mliiht have to defend the enforcement of the Mon roe doctrine and the preservation of the autonomy of China, William 11. Gardner, president of th United States Navy league, urged that the navy be kept at the maxi mum strength allowed by the Wash ington conference In order that the United States may always be In a position to maintain peace In the near east Major General Johtl F. O'Ryan and Brigadier General Henry J. Rellly made eloquent pleas for prepared ness, General O'Kyan stressing the importance of the military organlsa tlon aa a factor for peace. General Keilly flayed the advocates of dis armament who, he said, had suddenly switched from that stand to an effort to get the United States to Interfere in the near east. Women pacifists and modern women "who amoke and Seek the newer freedom," are a menace to the nation, according to Mrs. Kllsabeth Ball of Washington, D. C, who roundly condemned the modern tendencies of women "who know everything but how to make a atom." 0 El Party Leaders Figuring On the New Alignment.
