THE ‘SUNDAY ‘STAR, WASHINGTON, D. C, POSTPONE OPENING OF CAMP HARDING Training Course to Start August 8—Donations Asked to Aid Boys. Camp Harding, the summer training camp of the National Military and Naval Academy, on the Conduit road near the District line, will open its course of training for boys and young men between the ages of twelve and seventeen a week from tomorrow in- stead of tomorrow, as originally pro- posed. It was deeme dadvisable to postpone the event in the interest of a large number of boys who were anxious to take the course, but who were unable to meet the nominal cost. It is now hoped that these boys may be cared for through the donations of public- spirited_citizens. The camp has been provided by the War Department, there were no funds to meet needs of camp preparation and the purchase and preparation of meals for the boys. As the fee charged left no eurplus, the camp not being con- ducted for profit, it became necessary that each boy be able to advance his own fee, or have some one do it for him. It has been the desire of this camp to deliver the advantages of its train ing to the largest number of boys pos- sible in the District. The course of training. under Capt. Richard R. Day, long _the instructor of the Washi ton High School Cadet Corps, Which is conceded to have reached its high- est state of efficiency under him, con- templates not only a thorough, prac- tical training of the body and in all physical lines, but to imbue the boys with American ideals—patriotism, honor and a proper conception of law and order, all of which are included in the military training course. Pleasant Vacation Also. Aside from these advantages, which will help to enrich the citi- zenship of the District, is the pros- pect of a pleasant vacation for four weeks in a high and healthy location, with splendid_natural surroundings and near both the canal and the river, where the boys who need it will receive competent instruction in_swimming and life saving. It has been found that a large num- ber of boys are eager and anxious to.enter the camp, but their parents are unable to bear the necessary ex- pense. A careful revision of the plans for the camp has been made, and Capt. H. D. F. Long, room 2, District building, states that it has been found possible to provide for these boys who desire the camp training to admit them at a cost of $21.45 for the entire four-week course.. Appeals have been made to prominent citizenes of Washington, whose public spirit has enliated their interest in the value of this training to the city itself, and it is hoped within the coming week donations will be received which will enable promoters of the camp to provide for worthy boys who are unable to pay themselves for their camp training. Several Promise Donations. Already assurances have been re- ceived from several prominent peo- ple that they will make donations to the camp fund. It is hoped that these will be increased by many others to whom appeals have been made. or who, knowing the facts, may volun- their assistance. An arran ment has been made wheraby donors | to the fund may themselves nominate, if they desire, the boys who will profit by their donations. There are no restrictions upon entrants to the camp, except that they must be be- tween the prescribed ages and of good character. The camp will close in ample time to enable boys attending the public schools to. have some rest and recer- ation before preparing for the new -cnool year, which opens -Septem- 19, Clp!. Richard R.

HARVEY MAY MEDIATE. Expected to Exert Salutary In- fluence at Meeting. BY PAUL SCOTT MOWRER. By Wireless to The Star ad Chicago Daily News.. Copyright, 1921. PARIS, France, July 30.—The opin- fon is growing in allied diplomatic circles that Ambassador Harvey, as President Harding’s representative, will be able, without in any respect involving the United States in Euro- pean politics, to exert a salutary me- dlative influence in the forthcoming meeting of the supreme council. This meeting will deal with two extreme- 1y difficult questions: That of removing or maintaining the allied occupation of the Ruhr river ports and the special Rhineland customs frontier, and that of dividing Silesia between Poland and Germany. On woth questions France and Brit- ain are in disagreement, but of the two the latter is by far the more im- portant Britain believes that Ger- many’s jpeedy economic recovery lul inevitable and even desirable, and would try to avert any possible dan- ger._of renewed aggression involved in that recovery by trying to co- operate with Germany and by avoid- ing irritating that country unduly. Again, Britain dces not believe in a large and strong Poland, mainly cause she fears that such a Poland weuld inevitably draw Germany and Russia into an alliance against her- self, with detrimental political and economic effects. France Sees More Dangers. France, on the other hand, while she think$ German's recovery in- evitable, thanks to her a?ulnmenl and her trained and disciplined popula- tion, fears that this recovery will be merely a prelude to renewed efforts at political expansion involving grave danger to France. France also desires to see Poland a large and strong te, believing' thnt forty or fifty years may elapse be. fore Russia recovers her old flrennh and w the meanwhile to util ize Poland a counterpoise to Geor- manic ambitions in the far eas tions for entry at room 2, Dl!lrlct late Theodore Roosevelt. SAYS LLOYD GEORGE | VIRGINIA RULING GIVES WOMEN RIGHT TO PAY POLL TAX AND ENROLL Special Dispateh to The Star. RICHMOND, Va., July 30.—Attor- ney General Saunders has again ruled that women have the right to pay their poll taxes and to register up to and including the day of the primary next Tuesday, and to participate in the primary. The ruling of Judge Mullen of Petersburg is bothering some elec- tion officers, but the opinion of the attorney general will, it is be- lieved, be given precedence in the matter. The opinion is quite lengthy and is a confirmation of the opinion rendered on the same subject several months ago. Wom- en are paying up in this city today. They are registering and they will vote next Tuesday. Attorney General Saunders quotes the Constitution and the interpre- tation placed on the election laws by his predecessors, holding that ‘women cannot be denied the ballot, being in every sense new voters.

Having finally determined upon a @efinite legislative program for the next few weeks, the Senate Is now bending every energy to put through the measures on the list and get away for a midsummer rest about August 10. If possi- ble the recess will extend until the Senate finance committee has whipped into shape the tax revi- sion bill, which is expected to reach the Senate from the House somewhere between the middle of August and September 1. The original plan was to stay in r-- cess until the' finance committee had completed .consideration of the tarift bill and was ready to report it. But the desire of the administration to put through the tax revision measure without fur- - ther delay, which coincides with the wishes of many of the sena- tors, may result in the tax bill be- ing given the right of way. ‘The 'legislative program, it now stands, includes the passage of the bill now pending, to aid farmers .finance exports of their surplus . crops, the Capper anti: grain gambling bill and the Vol- stead anti-beer bill. It is possi- ble that.an effort will be made to have the Borah bill for the free passage of the Panama canal by American coastwise vessels con- sidered before the recess. but those . favoring the recess plan will seek to have this measure postponed. The Senate finance committee is gontinuing its hearings on the tar- iff bill *as expeditiously as possi- ble. This committee has reported favorably to the Senate the admin- istration -bill authorizing the Sec- retary of the Treasury to refund the loans of the United States to the “allied uations, amounting to some $10,000,000,000, with interest due totaling-another billion dollars. It is believed, however, that this\bill will be allowed to walt until after the recess. The President's message to Con- gress last week on the railroads, proposing a method of aiding the roads in their financial difficulties was generally approved by the senators. and it Is expected that a railroad bill also will be put through, but after the recess. Conferees of the two houses are putting the. finishing touches upon the so-called packer bill and the Sweet bill to co-ordinate agencles dealing with the veterans of the world war. With the report of Secretary Weeks of the War Department in hand showing that the United States now has approximately 14,000 soldiers in Germany. (oul- ing about a million dolla month, Jt is expected that & de- mand will be launched soon by senators to bring these troops back to the United States. Germany is to pay the bill for the maintenance of the troops in her territory, un- der the armistice agreement. The Senate has put through the McCormick resolution for an in- vestigation of conditions in Haiti and San Domingo, and a commit- tee will soon begin hearings. Senator Ball, chairman of the District committee, is doing his best to get a day in the Senate for consideration of the bill to extend the life of the Ball rent act until May 22, 1922. He feels that some- thing must be done about this bill before thée recess is taken if it is to become a law. CHECK ON ALIEN SAILORS. Masters of vessels of all national- ities sailing for a port of the United States or of “any of its possessions, except the Panama Canal Zone, under an executive order made public ye: terday, must submit for a vise a’list of all of the alien members of the vessel’'s crew to the American consu- lar officer-at the port where the voy- age begins.

Important legislation will be considered by the House this week, It is probable that a unanimous report on the Sweet bill will be brought in. Leaders expect that the appro- priations committee will bring in the first bill under the chairman- ship of Representative Martin B. Madden making provision for the Shipping Board. The Shipping Board has asked for $125,000,000. The House committee has decided | to recommend nothing like that amount, certainly not over $75,- 000,000 and more Ukely a great deal less.

The day-by-day calendar of the House 10r - fhiS Week as Ial s House Leader Mondell has been able to arrange it is as follows: TOMOITOW — L UANIMous cousti. calendar, with only one bill very Qefinicery in mid.

Thursday—A bill from the In- dian aftairs comnuiee which broadens the orgunic act og the Indian bureau to make in &rder the usual provisions in the Indian appropriation bill.

On Wednesday the House Dis- trict_committee is (0 meel, but as “there will probably be less than a quorum aitend:n.e, the clianes are that no positive action will be taken on legislation to improve the stregt railway situation in ‘Wahington. Conterences between Chairman Madden of the House appropria- tions committee and Director of the Budget Dawes to work out an economy-efficiency budget origi- nating in the administrative branch and meeting the wishes of the legislative branch of the. gov- ernment wlll start this week. Following a White House dinner ‘Thursday night House leaders let it be known that they were en- deavoring to arrange for a six week recess, beginning August 20 to 25, and following the passage of a tax revision bill. Representative Tilson of Con- necticut, a majority leader on the ways and means committee, issucd a statement Friday renewing his contention that the tax and tariff legislation should be united in one comprehensive revenue meas- ure. Six members of the House census committee filed a minority report against the proposal to increase | the size of the House under the new apportionment bill. By a straight party vote of 175 to 86, the House on Thursday pass- ed a resolution providing for pay- ment of the salary for Walter F. Brown, personal representative of the President on the joint congres- sional committee for reorganiza- tion of the administrative depart- ments.

First and second honors at the R. 0. T. C. camp at Plattsburg went to two Georgetown University cadets during the recent competition be- tween 981 students of thirty-eight institutions represented at the en- campment. Word was received from Maj. Willlam H. Hobson, U. S. A., that the two fortunate Georgetown boys were Joseph A. McDonough, last year's adjutant of the cadet unit, and Edward D. Murphy, the cadet sergeant major, and a son of James W. Murphy, official reporter of the Senate. In addition to winning the highest individual honors the Georgetown contingent came out second place in general efficiency. ~Cadet McDon- ough seored 1,409 points out of & Pos- sible 1,500, winning first pldce, while Murphy followed a close second with 1,403 points. To add to his laurels Murphy also won the prize for being the best pistol shot in the camp. Ten students were selected for a rating as “distinguished” by the camp oficers. . Georgetown placed two men on the list, McDouough and Murphy, and ‘was the only institution to have more than one representative in the distinguished class. “Watch' us next_year,” Maj.
