While the senate was votitng on the resolution, the navy, department was arranging for destroyers. to proceed far out to sea to meet the historic cruiser Olympia bearing the unknown soldier to the homeland. The department was in communica- tien with Capt. H. L. Wyman, com- manding the Olympia and trans- mitted to him instructions'as to the t'me of his ship's arrival and as to the escort to be furnished. Congress also took notice of the forthcoming ceremonies in another way, the senate adopting a resolu: tion authorizing the purchase of a huge floral wreath to be placed on the coffin of the unknown soldier as the tribute of congress to Amer- fea’s dead in the world war. Receipt was announced by Secre- tary Denby of a letter from a gold star mother in California express- ing her thought that the Olympia might be bringing home her son, killed in action ig France. She has asked that she be permitted to have a memorial wreath placed on the coffin of the hero as it lies in state in the capitol.

George Harvey, American ambassador to Great Britain to hold office in the American government. ‘ st od 576 to 444, with 50 not voting. arvey resolution had been tabled, a substitute Harvey resolution was adopted. animous vet The criticism of Ambassador Har- vey was based on a speech he made shortly after his arrival in England in which he discussed the reason for the entrance of the United States into the war. A heated debate followed Presentation of the original resolu- tion. After lengthy debate during which “peakers argued for and against the resolution, a viva voce vote was called for. ‘The chairman announced he was in doubt as to the result and ordered a roll call. The fight on the resolution broke shortly after noon and, officials said, probably prevented adjournment of the convention before tonight. mid cheers, the national convention also adopted its executive committee's re- port affirming its stand om tho ques- tion of immediate federal aid for vet- erans and called for government ac- tion on the adjusted compensation that Mr. Harvey's remarks ‘did not represent the sentiment of the Amer- fean Legion and was amended, on mo- tion of South Carolina to omit the title “Colonel” in referring to Mr. Harvey. é The resolution as passed provided that a copy be sent to the president of the United States. _ The text of the substitute resolu- tion as adopted by the convention said: “That the sentiments expressed by George Harvey, United States ambas- sador to Great. Britain, in his Pil- Brim day speech, setting forth the reason for’ America's entry into the world war and the cause for which America fought, does not represent the true American attitude as inter- preted by the American Legion; and let it he known for all time that America fought not only for the maintenance of America’s rights but for the freedom of the world and that &@ copy of this resolution be sent: to the president of the United States. ‘The convention finally adopted the resolutions committee's report includ- ing the substitute Harvey resolution.

S. | Projection of Far Eastern Problems Into W orld D. ‘rmament Program Means End to Alliances; Whole Coni “wersy Handed Down From Time of John Hay Reopen: « By DAVID LAWRENCE. Copyright 1921 by The Casper Daily Tribune. (in this the third of a series of significant dispatches, David Lawrenée, the famous Washington correspond- ent, tells why the United Stats considers the alliance between Japan and Great Britain as a menace to America and the inside story of how the coming conference on armament happened to be called.) WASHINGTON, Nov. 2.—The United States has never liked the Anglo-Japanese sl- liance. Republican and Democratic administrations alike have felt that alliances only led to dangerous misunderstandings. Europe has revealed the mischief which a system of al- liances develops. The formation of an alliance in central Europe between Germany, Aus- tria-Hun; France and Russia. Dut the objection to the AngloJap- anese alliance has not heen merely that it sets up England, the greatest naval power in the world, as a work- ing partner of Japan with whom America has been having tn recent years some troublesome disputes. It that spurred on by the knowledge of such @ partnership, the Japanese have assumed an attitude toward China wherein American, French, British, German and Russian tnter- ests were Licol> to be permanently injured. Of course, for the moment, Germany and Russia are out of it but essentially it is the grouping of Bur- ope and America on the one hand and Japan on the other, Would England stand by her European friends and her American kinsmen and would she bring Japan within the circle of inter- national concord and compel her mill- tary leaders to refrain from ‘acts which spelled ultimate domination of China and Eastern Asia? Would Eng- land help or hinder the task of mak- ing Japan play the game on a plane of equality with other nations? Would Japan pledge herself to help restore the sovereignty of China which has} become the catspaw of nations? | Great Britain has insisted that her alliance prevented her from making protests to Japan. It has been left to the United States alone to keep a vigilant eye on Japanese pretensions. The crisis came at the time the Dominion premlers were in session. Proclaiming in one breath ;next breath challenging: som /fight, J. J. Giblin, candidate \fear, run away with him to th Mrivel which he poured out on the ears of his listeners last night developed conclusively, for the person with an analytical mind, that the Dr. Jeykl and Mr. Hyde phases of Mr, Giblin’s existence were both fight: ing a severe battle for the upperhand {in his mental structure. For 45 minutes or more he attacked The Tribune for daring to place Mr. Giblin’s acts and records before the public. At one minute condemning The Tribune for daring to assail his integrity and in the next breath ap- propriating unto himself the platform for a clean moral town which The ‘Tribune first laid down as the stand- ard up to which all candidates should measure, Mr. Giblin rambled through ithe mazes of an address and flopped from si®e to side adding hilarity and| dered. comedy to the occasion. After Mr. Giblin had been introduced the candidate arose and was strong- ly received tn applause lea4 by many of his workers who were occupying strategic positions in many parts of the house. Starting his talk Mr. Giblin asked the indulgence of his bearers by Pleading that he had arisen from a sick bed in order to be present at the meeting so that he could tell the peo- ple what a martyr he had been. That Possibly accounts for the manner in which the ex-minister garbled his ser- mon. “I want to tell you what I stand for and to defend myself against the campaign which has been waged against me.” After telling the people they had met there to hear the views of one of the candidates who aspired to be their ruler Mr. Giblin warped off into wordy generalities telling what should be done for Casper when it put on the seven league boots to jump from a small town to a city of industrial fame, due to the ofl resources and the contemplated irrigation develop- ment. i “I am the most thoroughly adver- tised and besmirched scoundrel in the state,” Mr. Giblin. admitted.

Incidentally he never paid for the advertising that he used to get that start Ho also said that during the past weeks, by actual count, The Tribune had given him $700 worth of free ad- yertising.

LONDON, Nov. 2—Negotiations relative to peace in Ireland have pro- | gressed to a point which makes neces- |Sary the presence in London of Sir |James Craig, the premier of Ulster, it | was declared here this morning. Po! |ical correspondents of London news- papers today centered their attention upon the Ulster question and speculat- jed whether Sir James would soon join jin the conversations going forward |here. ‘ The absence of any definite pros. and Italy was offset only by an entente cordiale between Great Britain, It led to war. The British government didn't want to offend Japan by publicly refusing to renew the AngloJapanese alll- ance. What would be the good of that, it was argued? It would only drive Japan into an attitude of hos. tility. Japan need not fear impoverished Russia or helpless Germany. She need only be concerned about Great Brit. ain arid the United States. Financially distressed as is the British empire, Japan might feel herself capable of golng it alone tn the Far East. Brit ain was too much absorbed in domes to troubles to disturb Japan's preten- sions while the United States was not inclined to go to war over China's Plight. She was too far away and her people were already sick of war expenditure. Japan, however, had ex- pended Ittle money during the war and was near enough to China to of- fer the Japanese imperialist golden op- portunities for commercial gain by exploiting China's resources. Great Britain counselled against the abrupt cancellation of the AngloJap- anese alliance. Couldn't some other way be found to accomplish the same end anf at the same time prevent Japanese aggression? Diplomacy moves tn strange ways its wonders to perform. Couldn't the ‘United States lend a helping hand?

America wanted an armament con- ference called—England wanted some- thing done about Far Eastern prob- lems, she was anxious that graceful way be found to leatl her out of the dilemma in connection with the re- newal of the Anglo-Japanese alliance. The alliance, it had been decided, would remain in effect for at least another year, or even more unless specifically abrogated.
