CHRISTIAN SENDS INHIS RESIGNATION Speculation Aroused . Over Coolidge’s Choice of a Secretary. By the Associated Press. MARION, August 11.—George B. secretary to Warren G. Harding as United States senator and President, announced yesterday that he I had submitted his resignation as execu- tive secretary to President Coplidge. Mr. Christian made his announcement soon after he had returned from the final services for his dead chief. “I entered public life wit. Warren G. Harding, and I leave it now that he has been called away,” the anneuncement sald. “For nearly nine years I worked beside him, and my present sorrow is somewhat assuaged by the feeling of satisfaction at having beén permitted to served a great President, a most humane and considerate chicf and the finest friend it has ever been given a man to have. I left at Washington my resignation for tht acceptance of President Coolidge, with a tender of any services 1 may be able to render him and any assistance’l can give his secretary. It is my expectation to enter private business just as soon as I may be able to complete my arrang therefor.” Relied on “George.” Mr. Christian added informally that he had no desire to continue in publie office’ and would not fook wi: favor any federal appointment. The former secretary lefi here for Wash- ington ‘with Mrs. Harding, to assist her in removing personal belongings from the White House and to clear up the desk of the la sident. He may continue to live in Washington for a few months, but expects to go into private busihess oon. The relations between the late Presi- dent and his secretary amounted to what Is gencrally regarded as id-al. The President relied greatly on * ge,” as he ever called him. - When Mr. Hard- ing was selecting his staff of advisers and assistants prior to taking up the presidency there were some republcan leaders who urged others for the secre- taryship, but Mr. Harding soon gave these leaders to understand that inas- much'as Mr. Christian had been loyal to him when political fortunes were W ATTRACTIVE APARTMENTS THE ARGONNE On Columbia Road at 16th St. Commanding a View of Beautiful ROCK.

The names of Edward T. Clark, who served as gecrotary to Mr. Coolidge when the latter was Vice President, and of Benjamin F.

SATURDAY, AUGUST 11, — American ships thls summer, -return- ing convinced that the greatest op- portunity _lles ~before the United States merchant shipping. Chairman Madden of the House appropriations committee aboard this ship favors government operation until such time as private capital can be at- tracted. Mr. Madden f{s friendly to the new policy and it would not be surprising It new construction were authorized wjthout —much debate. Had # not been for Harding's effort toward a subsidy Congress probably would.not be ready to furnish funds for alternative government opera- tion. Europe still believes that America will flounder around and ultimately sell her ships after the fallyre of the xperiment. The American view eld by Lasker and others is that the era of government operation Is excellent for training executives, offi- cers and crews handling ships, and for establishing lines so that when Dprivate owners begin to operate them they will have the necessary trained personnel and will be able to effect large economies over government operation. Coolidge Faces Problem, President Coolldze will be faced fm- mediately by the shipping problem. Hardinz's enthusiasm alone kept many of the best shipping experts in govern. ment service. While Coolldge announced in general terms that he intends to con- tinue the Harding policies, it probably will be essential that he soon make some declaration, gfving a specific out- line of ideas. Of the domestic ques tions inherited from the Harding ad ministration, Coolidge will find ship- ping the most acute need of personal attention. Harding devoted more time to that matter than to any other sin- gle question in the last twelve months, Chajrman Farley af the Shipping Board is just entering his new duties after Lasker's retirement. He took the job because of the assurance of Hard- ing’s continued interest in overcoming many obstacles. Unguestionably President Coolidge will find it essential to gzet behind Farley and the board personally, espe- clally in the encounters with Con- gress, which failed last scasion to provide a constructive policy. What Harding evolved since March is not yet fully approved. The test will come on appropriations, when it will be seen whether government operation | 1923. A el el TRl 0. LEGIN POSTS HONOR DEAD CHEF Mr. Harding’s Character Ex- tolled by Speakers at Me- morial Service. Hundreds of persons attended the memorial service for the late Presi- dent Harding yesterday afternoon, held under the auspices of the Dis- trict Department of the American Legion in Keith's Theater. With hearts heavy with sorrow they listened to the tributes paid to the man who at that hour at Marion was being lowered to the peace and rest that he cheerfully forsook in or- der to serve his nation. The services, which were but a part of the general tribute paid by the ion__throughout the will permit numerous expenditures which private companies make with- out a moment's hesitation. It is espe- cially important to know if authorize the construction of new types of ships and provide amuse- ments and recreations and other fea- | tures by which private ship lines at- tract passenger traffic. The whole subject is new, as the government never operated its ships directly be- fore on such a large scale as now planned. Shipping was Harding's constant thought. It will be Coolidge’s con- stant worry unless he shares his predecessor’'s view of the necessity for aggressive government operation in the next few years.

Never DId Mean Thing. Referring to the character of the late President, Senator James E. Watson of Indiana declared in part: “His heart was vibrant with love for his fellow men. In the thirty years that I knew him. he never did a mean thing, but was always thoughtful, loving, kind and charitable and al- ways gave his opponents the_ credit for honest motives.” Senator Watson referred to the birth of Warren Hard- ing in 1865, the year of the assasi- nation of Lincoln, and declared “it was reserved for President Harding te bring thls nation to a unity it had never known before, a unit that was impregnable.” He sketched the rise of the late executive from | his beginning in ‘“healthful poverty,” to his life as President.

Thomas W. ‘Miller, allen prop- custodian and member of the presided and de- Col erty American Legion, lared: In response to the call of our na- tional commander, services are being held at this hour in every state and hamlet where there is a post of the American Legion, so that we of the Legion may pay our final tribute to our departed chief. its aims and purposes were dear to the heart of President Harding and his helpmate whom he has left be- | hind.

In the first weeks of his administration President Hard- | ing callcd together in Washington a | conterence of leaders among the serv- {ice men and the people at large and directed them to frame the legislation | which culminated in the creation of the present Veterans' Bureau as the agency tor handling all matters re- |1ating to ex-service men, disabled or | otherwise. rs.
