President Harding In an address today to a lotnt session of Congress urged speedy enactment of the administration hipping bill ai a meana of cutting down present lossea through opera tion of government ships and putting America at the forefront "In the peace triumphs on the leas of the world." At the very outset of the SO min ute apeech which was heard with the '' closest attention, the President frank ly declared that those standing with him might as wall recognise that there waa ''divided opinion and de termined opposition." It would be helpful In clearing the atmosphere to Start with the recognition of this fact, he said, adding that it waa no new experience. , . With great emphasis the President challenged "every insinuation" that the bill was framed for the benefit of "favored Interests" or for the enrich ment of the special few at the ex pense of the public treasury. He de clared that first of all he was ap pealing to save the treasury. . Subsidy Only Goverameat Ale. ' Calling attention to the "hostility In the popular mind" to the word .....

If so, I am pro posing to cut It In half, approxi mately." - ' Discussing the problem confronting Congresa the president outlined three courses of action. The first, he aid, waa constructive, which em braced passage of the bill; second obstructive continued government operation and attending government . losses and third, destructive, Involv ing the sacrifice and scrapping of the merchant nest, - Urges Ceaatraetlre Move. "I have come to urge the construe tlve alternative, to reassert an Amer lean 'we will',"' he exclaimed, which brought ths first applause during de livery of the speech. The next ap plause greeted the President's dec laratlon that he rejoiced that higher standards of labor on Amerloan ships had been established, and that merest Justice suggested that "when Con . greas flies these standards, it Is fair to extend government aid In main taining, them until our shipping lines are so flrmly established that they can face world competition alone." The farm bloo, Including members on the Democratic aide, applauded when : the President said credit systems un der government provision and control must be promptly and .safely broad ened to relieve the agricultural classes. There was a variety of comment by . membera, hut for the most part this followed party lines.

NO OBJECTIONS RAISED (Br Aawlitel Fna.) Washington, Nor. 21. Mrs. W. H. Felton, of Georgia, took the oath of office today as the first woman United States senator. ' It was true that her term prob ably will be only for' a day but the eeremony crowned with success the efforts of the 87-year-old lady had made to "blase the path , for Ameri can womanhood" In the senate, and 1 It was Indicated that she would be content to step aside tomorrow. In favor of Walter F, George, who waa elected November ,7, aa her successor,, to fill the unexpired term of the late Senator Watson. It waa to the va cancy caused by this death that Mrs. Felton waa appointed last Septem ber to serve until the November elec tions. - The- seating ot Mrs. Felton at tracted a crowd to the aenate which rivaled that which had greeted President Harding a short time be fore at the house,- where he ad dressed Congress In joint session. And she was at once showered with congratulations upon the algnal honor. Face Wreathed la Rallies. When she was directed to proceed to the roatrom for the administer ing of the oath of office her face broke into a smile. On the arm of Senator Harrla, of Georgia, and lift ing her gown daintily, she walked down the center aisle and up to the vice president's desk, where Senator Cummins, ot Iowa, president pro tempore, was presiding in ths ab sence from the city of Vice Presi dent Coolldge. As Senator Cummin motioned for her to raise 'her right hand she ex hibited her only sign of unfamtllar lty with the proceedings, waving her hand to Mr, Cummins and smiling aa if receiving a similar salute. Sena tor Harrie nudged her arm, however, and she then raised It, gaslng In tently at Senator Cummins as the oath was delivered and giving her response in a low voice. The seating ot Mra. Felton had been expected In view of the tacit agreement of the senate leaders to Interpose no objection In the face ot possible technical precedents as to her status after the election on November 7 of her sucoessor. But for a time today It appeared as though such objection might be of fered and definite assuranca that the oath would be administered was not reached until a delay of two hours. In fact It was not until after Presi dent Harding had delivered his ad dress to the joint session that Mrs. Felton waa given her seat. The principal delay was due to an address of Senator Walsh, Demoorat, Montana, In support of her claim to the senate aeat This address, which was not on the program ot the lead ers, went Into the precedents In volved in the proposed course and at first gave the Impression that ' the Montana senator waa opposing Mrs. Felton's claims. But later Mr. Walsh swung into strong support of her position, declaring that her title was clear and that granting it should not be considered a favor or a chival rous act... shows No Nervousness. But at no time did Mrs. Felton exhibit nervousness, sitting with hands folded in her lap and with eyes on ths Montana- senator. She arrived a halt hour before the sen ate convened and took the seat on the floor of the late Senator Watson after giving her wraps to a senate page and seeing that they were hung In the Democratic elqak room. The address of Senator Walsh was broken by the joint session for the President's message and Mra Felton attended, walking to the house chamber on the arm of Senator Har ris and occupying a seat between him and Benator-elect George near the center aisle. She then returned to the senate, where Senator Walsh eoncluded his address and ahe waa sworn In. After receiving the oath she returned to her aeat on the floor and watched the routine proceedings with a keen eye until the aenate ad journed. Before going to the capltel today Mra, Felton went to the White House and paid her respects to President Harding, She Is expected to be In her seat In the aenate tomorrow but It la understood that Senator-eleet George will present his elalm to the seat, after Mrs, Felton haa an swered one roll call and perhaps de llvered a brief address. Then It Is understood she will retire without objection In favor or Mr, Oenrge, whose delay In presenting his elec tion credentlels njede possible the seating of the first woman senator, Battle Against The "jury in indicting him. were not legal.

President Harding's message, which he began reading to Congress at 11:10 today. Is a plea to cut the actual lossea on "the government owned merchant fleet created during the war by granting aid to private operation of those ships." As Mr. Harding presents the fig ures the United. States Is now losing M, 000,000 a month on Its ships. And he asks for a subsidy of 0. 000,000 to tJO.000,000 a year whioh will ena ble private owners to take over and operate the ships. Stripped of all the presidential rhetorlo that is the proposal finan cially considered. He does not aak to lay a new burden on the tax pay ers. If his hopes be realised the ex isting burden on them of 1(0,000,000 losses would be out In half. The President's other argument Is the patriotic one. The war left us in a position to establish an Ameri can merchant marine on the high seas. The opportunity is not the best that could be conceived for the ships were built in haste and often badly. And they were not planned to meet the varying needs ot trads. But all through the epeech appeara the , President's lack ot confidence that his proposal - wilt commend it" self to Congress. The message la a plea rather than a declaration of policy.- It la the plea of a man who la aware of formidable opposition "In Individ ual exchanging ot opinion not a few In house or senate have expressed personal sympathy with ths purposes efthe bill, and then ottered a dis couraging doubt about the sentiment et their constituencies.

He said sooner or later America would have to interest herself in the post-war affairs of Europe, because she could nJt continue to be comfort able and wealthy If Europe waa cov eted with blood.

The Tiger received a great burst of applauss for the assertion. M.

HILDEBBAND. Washington, Nov, 21. The reaction to the President's message today was prettjaj much as expected, Propon ente of an augmented American mer chant marine felt that Mr. Harding had put the case strongly, but the trouble Is, while a great many peo ple would be pleased to see the American flag on the high seas, all things being even, the administration haa not thus far succeeded In gath ering to itself any Impressive num ber of well wishers. There are a number ot malcontents, generally classified as progressives, ready at all times to scuttle any number of ships, if to do so promises embarrassment for the administration. With two or three exceptions, ths Democrats, with an eye single to 1M4, will do their utmost to ditch the' President's program. Some aay Senator Under wood Is lacking In sympathy with this projected light on the Adminis tration, and relinquished the minor ity leadership for this reason. Other Republicans, who generally flock with the old guard, entertain the fear that the President is not the man to carry the party to victory in the next campaign, and these will be able to maintain their composure should the President fall In this acid test of his leadership. The process of elimination does not leave a very- numerous company of those who have placed their hearts and their souls at the disposal of the President, who haa at last delivered hla ship subsidy ultimatum. One ar gument certain to be heard now la that support of the President Is a lite and death matter for the party that it the President tails the party falls because the President is sim ply undertaking to carry out a party mandate, and a party pledge. , - Railway Mall Me Meet ..' .

The state could not persuade Judge Oliver Allen that there was even probable cause for holding Leonard Dowd and Walter West, whom N. B. Thornton Identified as two of the men who flogged him Monday night pre ceding the election. The feeble alibi of the youngsters was almost as strong as the evidence of the swarthy little tenant, who admitted absenting himself from church sometimes and drinking a little liquor occasionally. Either decision of the jurist, that to discharge or that to hold, would have been understandable. The atate was shy of unimpeachable testimony. Nevertheless, the state showed that in Anderson's Creek township, near the Harnett-Cumberland line, there Is a rampant band of sanctified regula tion lata led by a preacher who eaally harmonlsea the terrorising ot women and children and disolpleshlp ot his Lord. Parson W. C. Dowd hasn't been accused In court of leading the Ku Klux raids on Anderson's undesir ables; but he has been fixed as a forerunner of the holy ghosts whose nocturnal apparitions make country life hideous for the residents of that shirt-ridden territory.

Parson Dowd has had a habit, so wltnssses testified, of turning up a few minutes ahead of the masked mob, warning folka here and folka there, that there Is trou ble ahead or there is not.

TURK WANTS PUBLICITY Diplomats So Cocky They Won't Admit Anything Ex- , cept Contempt For Public, i PREMIERS DO NOT MEET Each ot Big Power I Bringing la Henchwiea To Aid la Forclast Demands V'poa the Turk- . tab Ministers. Isalil Cable la (ill, Una. ' By CLARENCE K. STRF.IT. (Cnpsrltbt, 1128. oy Mladalpala MMh Udtir.) Lausanne, Nov. tL Peace In the narrow meaning of the silence Is to be the Immediate' obJe6tlve ot Lausanne diplomacy,, ' it .developed today. Clocks are to be moved back 10 years so as to settle the eastern question by methods of secret di plomacy which then so. successfully nursed the same problem Into a fu!l slsed war. 1 For diplomacy, which ''thank Heaven doesn't seek publi city", is feeling so cocky now that the only thing it will divulge la It aupreme contempt for the public and Its "dislike for treating public af fairs in the market place and hav ing Its decision Influenced by the fluctuations of opinion - which I" ready to koorove tomorrow what. It rejected-yesterday." Tnrk Waata To Talk. . .. ' The words are those of M. Barrere, French ambassador, whose work In Italy after and during the war cer tainly entitles him to the p-rodlral poaitlon of spokesman for the dumb dlplomaoy but the sentiment was echoed by other delegates he waa ad dressing at ths conference session with one exception the Turks. Kor lsmet Pasha, when asked to give Ills word of honor to let the vulgar pub lic know nothing beyond, the usual ' communique, refused by saying he ' wanted full publicity with the press admitted. Though his objection was overridden he served notice that If he found the communique did not correctly represent the proceedings he would make his own- report ta the press.';: -I ' "We are not satisfied with the or. ganisatlon of the conference entirely ' under allied chairmen, but are will ing to let -that go, asserting Our equal standing here In far the mora important matter ' of reporting the ' sesBtons to ths world," a prominent Turk told me, adding: "We are one agalnet- rnony. hero-and- 1t- M to our Interest to have the public know what really happens. Any attempt to throttle us will fail." i ' Communique la Inacearate. ' "v" The Inaccuracy of the official com munique Is evident from the fact that It says positively the Turks did not speak this afternoon when I have cer tain Information from a number of Turkish eye witnesses that they did though they refused to tell what they said. I Nor did the British divulge! the fact that the Turks formally stated they would not treat with any "third power" after the allies had decided to admit ''all other Interested nations" to the conference in a consultative capacity until your correspondent raised the question. The aim of the powers It to brlnr In their henchmen small European states to preaent weightier mass ot opposition to such Turkish demands aa abolition of the capitulation. The Turks, however, do not object to the presence of American observsrs. Russia's failure to answer the in vitation to participate in the settle ment of the straits question -which is to he treated by the first commis sion Is causing soma apeotilatlon, Russia, since she can not participate In the whole' conference aa she wishes, may be hitting back by not coming at all on the theory that no stable settlement can be made with out Russian adherence at least to the straits solution. Talk With the Terks. The premiers no longer are con versing among themselves but sepa-' rately with the Turks, both Marquis Curson nd M. Polncars having pri vate talks with lsmet I'asha tonight. I have reason to believe t'remlej rtus sollnl Is finding his claims discounted by the other premiers who apparently think hla position In Italy Is unstable.' When he received the foreign press thla morning Mussolini emphasised 'the thing to remember Is our gov ernment is solid, very solid. "I am satisfied but there are de grees of satisfaction," waa his cryptlo answer when your correspondent ask ed If the entente pleased him now more than before he left Rome. Thre j Is reason to believe he has not said his last word he Is remalnUg . a couple of days though M. I'olncare , Is leaving tonight and made the ' "j,um" sixn with his finger when your correspondent asked If he wa willing to replace capitulations with the commercial treaty the Turs are offering him.
