. BEVERIDGE MAY BE MADE AMBASSADOR Indiana Republicans Hope to Avoid Fight Over Sena- tor New’s Seat. HAYS VISITS LEADERS Beveridge Also Has Conferred With Mr. Harding—Friends of Both Active. INDIANAPOLIS. Ind.. January — It is generally understood here that «iovelopments of the last week mean that the republican leaders of Indiana are going to do everything within their power to prevent a contest for republican United States sena- hip unomination in the next cam- paign. The recent visit of National hairman Hays to Indianapolis and Albert J. Beveridge's trip to Marion a conference with Senator Hard- re both regarded as significant National Chairman H. is looked o1 as the man who can do the engi- ing that will remove the diffi- culties. His _chief claim to fame from acting _as national airman_was the work he did as state chairman in Indiana in bring- ing the republican and the old pro- gressive elements to harmony. It is very well understood that in the effort “to eliminate the senatorship ontest Senator Harding will be will- ing to do all in his power to aid. Senator Harding is a close personal triend of Senator Harry S. New and 1= Scnator New's seat in the Sen- that is at stake in the coming ampaign. Mr. Beveridge is the man who is slated to oppose New. ¢ Chairman Hays was in conference ith President-clect Harding at arign just before he came to In- ianapolis, and it was Hays, accord- Ing to all reports. who brought the to Beveridge to g0 to Just what the definite plan n aveiding the senatorship cont, known, but since Mr. Hays was in In. dianapolis certain men who are under- tood to enjoy friendly relations with Mr. Beveridge have intimated that Sen- T Beveridge might finally decide to accept a diplomatic post. Some of the friends of Mr. Beveridge say_now that in deciding what he will do Mr. Beveridge will be willing to defer to the wishes of Mrs. Beveridg 1t is d also from the same authoritative source that Mrs. Beveridge is not at all inclined to look with disfavor on resi- dence abroad. Both Mr. Beveridge and his friends have been very active in all parts of the state during the last month. Has Made Many Speeches. Mr. Beveridge recently has made many speeches in Indiana and some outside the state. papers have in the last day or so! carried a schedule of his future| speaking dates in the state, and it is the active campaign was aiready on. It is said that the friends of Sen- ator New are not in ignorance of the rapidity with hich the Beveridge movement is being carried on. It ias been announced that the cam- paign of Senator New for renomina- tion will be launched in a definite manner at the midwinter meeting of the Indiana Republiation Editorial Association, which will be held in Indianapolis the latter part of this month. "It is the understanding that Sepator New himself will come to In- diapolis at that time for a conference with friends, who wish to know what he desires that they do. Anticipating a contest over the sen- atorship, Senator New's friends throughout Indiana are already pre- paring quietly for it. It is said that Warren T. McCray, the new governor { Indiana, will espouse openly the cause of Senator New. AERO CLUB APPEALS FOR AIR MAIL SUPPORT Mrs. C.

Depends on Allies. “The activitiés of the Greek army depend upon the allies,” said Con- stantine, in discussing the situation in Asia-Minor. “I may go to Smyrna so0n to inspect the troops, but not to lead operations. If the bolsheviki make a spring campaign it will be against Poland or Rumania. They cannot fight everywhere.” Referring to the Greek hope for the occupation of Constantinople, Con- stantine asked: “Would we be able to hold it if the Russians wanted it2" “I know but little about the ‘little entente, Rumal Jugoslavia and Czechoslovakia,” said the King. “but if that entente was really planned to prevent wars in the Balkans I am in favor of it. The world has had enough of war for the present.” Too Busy for Memoirs. Constantine said he had not consid- red writing his memoirs, as he had been “too b on a big job with ramifications.” He added he was al- ways ready to discuss and give facts to any one writing of matters in this country. “Are you tired of interviews?’ he was asked. “Well. T have had my share in the last few months.” he replied, “but I am always glad to talk with American correspondents. as they have proved their trustworthiness.” SCHOOL WORK EXHIBIT.
