July 1. Ohio, the home of the two presidential can didates, today entered upon its first big political week of the Campaign, ' Several members of the Demo cratic national committee arrived during the day for their first meet ing here tomorrow with Governor Cox, the Democratic nominee, and Franklin D.

Arrange ments have been made for the handling of n immense crowd. Members of the Democratic state committee will meet in Columbus tomorrow to fix" a date and place for holding of the Democratic state platform campaign. -Surprise to Harding. Marion, Ohio, July 19. Assur ance that the League of Nations will lead all other issues in the campaign, is seen by the advisers of Senator Harding in over Sunday's development around the camp fires of the two big parties. . 1 The announcement in Washington that Governor Cox stands in per fect accord; with President Wilson is taken here to mean a straight out plea by the Democratic party for Vindication and perpetuation, of the Wilson' foreign ' policy, a policy against which Senator Harding and all his lieutenants here are" ready to make the fight of their political lives. Even before yesterday's White House conference -was concluded. Senator Harding had conjectured this significance and outcome and had taken the aggressive in a pub lic statement, demanding that the "mysterious foreign commitments" embraced in the president's program be outlined in detail so that the American people might know what they were asked to support.. At the same time he gave assurances that the Republican party never would accept that program. -tThe senator's statement called di rectly on Governor Cox to put him self on record in. regard to article ten, the Armenian mandate and oth er subjects, on which Mr. Wilson has found himself in conflict with the : Republican senate and with some in fluential Democrats. The feeling in the Harding ycamp today was that the next move was up to the Demo cratlc nominee. The alacrity with which the league" issue has come to the fore has caused manifest surprise at Harding's headquarters here. Many of the senator's close associates had not expected Governor Cox to take counsel with the president at tne outset -of his campaign nor to take any aggressive measures to hold up the hands of the present adminis tration, with which, he naa not oeen closely associated, in that event they considered it possible, that the leazue issue miKht be thrust more or less IntoXhe background for want of direct point of conflict between .the two parties. Rn far. however, the other ordl narllv imnortant issues have failed f . . . ' HAlnt nf to supply w wmiiiuuni iv.. . conflict and that circumstance la ex. pected to help keep the league con troversy In the spotlight. The Hard ing managers are not unmindful that within their own party there is some division of opinion regarding the league, but they believe that on a direct - issue of acceptance ef the Wilson policy without the dotting of an "1 or tne crosuina m thev. can count on a united Re publican front.

Sen and Bobrow Brothers, Incorporated, 1 GERMAN PRINCE, BROKE, SUICIDES The Youngest Son of the Late Kaiser Ends His Check ered Career (By AHAclat! Prtin) Berlin, July 19. Friends of prince Joachim of Hoherliollern deny stories current ia Berlin that his suicide at Pottadam Sunday was hrought about by scandal. They say that aside from his marital dis appointments the .prince was acute ly embarrassed thru his restricted finances. Like his brothers, he is believed to have been sadly in need of funds, owing to the limited al lowance from the crown funds per mitted him by the Prussian govern ment. Prince Joachim is also reported to have been brooding over the ulti mate fate of the former royal house and the criticism to which his ra ther has been subjected in Ger many. By those who were close to the Hohensollern family' when it was in power in Berlin Jrintee Joachim was said to have been the favorite son of the former German empress and fears are expressed that the news of his suicide may have a fatal effect upon her. as she recently suffered an acute , recurrence of her heart trouble. Prince Joaohim was born Decem ber 17,1890, In Berlin. He served 'In the late war on both the western and eastern fronts. In the flrat year of the war he was wounded in the fighting in France, and for a long time It was feared that he would not recover. When he did recover he was transferred to the Russian front where he had several narrow escapes from capture and Afterwards suffered a serious Illness. After the defeat of the Ger mans ,there were rumors that Em peror Wiltlam would abdicate In favor of Joachim.' Joachim was married In 1918, to Princess Marie Augustine, of An halt, who then was just 17 years old., A dispatch from Paris early In the present year said Joaohim 'had brought a suit for divorce. . The prince during the war, was ranked as a popular hero In Ger many. Since the end of the war lit tle has been heard of him. One re port was to the effect that he hoped to come to the United States after the peace treaty was signed.' Ex-Kmpcror Greatly Affected. Doom, Holland, July 19.

' Prince Joachim saw his parents on the quiet recently. It having been only the middle of June when he paid a visit at Doom Castle here.

As further particulars come to light regarding the agreement between the Hamburg-American Steamship company, and the American Ship and Com merce Corporation, by which the former trade routes are to be open ed to American shipping, the belief is deepening in shipping and finan cial circles here that it constitutes one of the most momentous events; for Germany since the war. Thru It the Germans see the means of re gaining touch with the outside world and an opportunity for Ham burg to re-establish a semblanne, at least, of its former position as a great port. i But apart from the commercial benefits expressed, the Germans at tach much pollikul significance to the agreement. This was emphaalied today by Wllhelm Cuno.general man ager of the Hamburg-American line, who in an Interview with the Asso ciated Press declared: "I call your especial' attention to the fact that the agreement must not only bo considered from a busi ness viewpoint, but must be regarded as a trial at re-establishing good re lations between the two countries.! The way we have taken will lie the1 only possible one to resume rela tions between Germany and foreign1 countries In the near future. The war left a deep gulf between the belligerent countries and disorganis ed entire economic order. The nor mal state of things can only be re stored If representatives of econo-i mlc Interests endeavor to link them selves Into a more binding condition than which was possible before the war." j Herr Cuno stated the Spa confer ence supplied the "best proof that co-operation of nations cannot be ef fected by a victorious government dictating decrees to a beaten govern ment."! I - "The experience In our negotia tions with the United States con firms this," continued Herr Curto, "From, the first day we took up dis cussions with the full knowledge that this flrit renewal of friend ship on an important and vital point will have to be sincere and binding," Herr Cuno said he was satisfied the agreement would prove a suc cess, believing it would be the re opening of the peaceful work rela tions between the two countries. - It Is understood that there Is no foundation for reports printed In German newspapers that American ships would be placed at the Hamburg-American Line's disposal, That a huge shipbuilding jrogrum Is contemplated not onl by the Hamburg-American company, but by other German lines. Is evidenced by preparations now In progress. It ia believed that If sufficient ma terial cannot be had, arrangements will be made to import American steel,- which at the present rate of exchange can be laid down cheaper than the German product. Meantime on the lower end of Hamburg harbor a hew shipbuilding plant which, It is said, is destined to be the largest In Europe, ia hearing completion. The Hamburg-American Linn Is one of the principal stock holders In this concern, which will begin operations within eighteen days and facilities for quickly doub ling its capacity, WILMINGTON SK1AM t!75,A00 ' OF SCHOOL BONDS AT 91.20 Wilmington, July 19.
