BRUSSELS, April 25.—The woman vote, cast for the first time in Bel- gium, is credited with the major share in the conservative victories in Sunday’s elections. _Fairly full returns indicate that the Catholic party, which counted upon the women. has definitely lost its position as the strongest party. The communist candidates were heav- ily defeated. / THE EVENING STAR, WASHINGTON, D. GREAT SERVICE OF PRESS IN WAR PRAISED BY PRESIDENT HARDING Former Ambassador Davis, New Counsel, and Frank B.

Frank B. Noyes. president of the As- sociated Press, in behalf of the gather- ing pledged support and sympathy to President Harding in the great tasks he is_confronting, and gave the only_ toast offered on these occasions, “The Presi- dent of the United States.” The guest of honor at the luncheon which was held in connection with the annual meeting was John W. Davis, formerly ambassador to Great Britain, who made his first appearance before the members as general counsel for the Associated Press. Remarking _that editorial comment was secondary to the news column in influence upon public opinion, he cong a two-thirds vote in the Senate to ratify a treaty be abrogated in favor of a majority vote, and that diplo- matic and consular agents be com- pensated adequately. In beginning his remarks Mr. Noyes sounded an optimistic note, saying: “It is in a troubled world that we meet today, but least of all is it a time for us to indulge in pessimism. “The rising sun, as it reaches, in its believe that each sunrise will find a world a little more tranquil, a little more at rest. Work for Tranquil World. “This betterment will not come au- tomatically though. It must come by human effort and in that effort this nation of ours must play a great part. “While today all over the world each country seems to devote itself to hating its nearest neighbor, this must pass and an ordered world begin again to move forward. “It would be hard to assemble a gathering more diverse in its political or economic beliefs than in our meet- ing today. “I believe, though, and I take it as a sign of great hopefulness, that every one here desires that, forget- ting~ past dissensions, this nation through its leaders should do its best possible for our individual citizenship, for our country, for our allies and for the whole world, and, broadly speak- ing, what is good for one will be good for all. “It seems to me that the people of the United States are singularly united in cordial support of our Pres- ident, in full confidence that he will ind the right path for us to follow in tLis world-wide welter of confusion. “In this feeling I am sure that every one here jo: “Heavy indeed are the burdens that Sl Safe Fur Storage Nominal Charges ST. which makes the individual taste fronting. “I give you the only toast it is our wont to offer on these occasions: “The President of the United States, Warren G. Harding.” President Harding's Letter. The following letter from President Harding _then was read: “Dear Mr. Noyes: “I would be very grateful if. on the occasion of the annual luncheon of the Associated Press. you would express to the gathering my great regret that public engagements make it impos- sible for me to accept the invitation to be present. The opportunity to meet so pleasantly a company of fel- low newspaper men such as will there be gathered. presents a real tempta- tion to play truant and join you; but it seems quite impossible. “As a newspaper publisher T am disposed to arrogate to myself a bit of special qualification to judge the service that the journalistic press has rendered to our country in the difficult period through which we | have passed, and which is not yet| ended. I know how earnestly and | effectively the press tried to hold up| the hands of all who were carrying | “The world and our own nation have yet manifold onerous problems to solve and burdens to bear. 1 know that among those intrusted with na- tional administration there is the ardent wish to serve with whatever of ability we may possess, and with- out any reservations in_ behalf of partisanship or personal interest. Nothing would give me more assur- ance at this time than to know that that has been accorded to it thus far. Mutual tolerance and moderation will, I am sure, be amply repald in ac- complisfiment for the good of the giving to one senator opposed to a treaty as much weight s to any two who favor it? “This leads me to say a word on a subjeot whioh lies very near my heart, and in which I can no longer be suspected of a personal interest. The diplomatic and consular service is our first line of defense. The trenches, therefore, should be manned with troops who are both well trained and, what is equally important, well equipped and well fed.

Introducing the guest of honor, Mr. Noyes said: £ ““When this organization was in the process of formation. those who were responsible for planning it sought the advice of many great legal minds, but as our chief adviser selected Mr. Fred- eric B. Jennings. “Through all the years since then until his death last year Mr. Jennings was our trusted general counsel. “He was, of course, a very great lawyer. He was, in addition, a very wise and sober adviser. But those of us who were privileged to be in close contact with him through these twenty years. do not ramember him, do not think of him as the eminent lawyer, from whose knowledge and wisdom we profited, but as the dear, dear friend who has gone before. “To find a successor for Mr. Jen- nings was not easy. Our legal path- way is not strewn with flowers, though 1 am glad to say that our legal per- plexities are not those of a defendant. On the contrary, we have been engaged in blazing new paths in search of ele- mental justice in establishing our rights to the fruit of our labor and ex- penditure—our property right in the news we jointly collect. “Those to whom the direction of your affairs is intrusted were unan- imousdn their desire to have one man take up the work of Mr. Jennings and within the last few days he has greed to become our general coun- el “That he is a great lawyer goes without saying, that he is a great dip- lomat also goes without saying, that he will be a wise and prudent adviser we are sure, that he has a gracious and delightful personality is certain. That he will take us into his heart we have taken him into ours is our sincere hope. “He has served his apprenticeship in such minor tasks as representa- tive, as solicitor general of the United States and as ambassador to the court of 8t. James, and now enters upon his real lifoe work. I introduce to you the Hon. John W. Davis, general counsel of the Associated Press.” Former Ambassador's Speech. Mr. Davis spoke as follows: “I am flattered by this invitation to address you. One would confess him- self ignorant past all hope if he had not some acquaintance with the As- sociated Press and its work, for verily there is no speech nor language where your voice is not heard; your line has gone through all the earth and your words to the ends of the world. Day unto day you utter speech, '3" night unto night you show knowl- edge. “The newspaper {3 the great educa- tive Institution and the immeasur- able company of your readers are the voters whose education is imperative if self-government is to survive. Nor does it detract from the devoted labors of editorial sanctums to say that their considered comment, great as its influence may be, is secondary in its influence upon public opinion to_the news column. “I congratulate the Associated Press because, hy the general verdict of mankind, it has performed this with- out bias, without prejudice and with- out partisanship, and in an earnest pursuit of the truth. “It is a good omen that American newspapers unquestionably are giv- ing more space to foreign news. “It is clear that among the prob- lems which beset this anxious planet three stand easily in the front rank.
