Our point of view regarding modern his- tory had been shifted greatly by the events of the last decade, he wrote: All the factors of the story of man- kind which was an essential unity, he sald, must be weighad and appraised if hny were to be accurately estimated and understood . A broader view of hietory would help greatly those hav- ing to deal with the problem of pre- gerving peace and outlawing war. It was conceded that some of the lessons of the past had been misun- derstood, President Harding said; adding: “It is particularly necessary in times like these that every -effort be made to correct whatever misappre- hension may have arisen.” DORMAN-PARKINS Willlam Dorman, a baker, of this city, and Miss Lilllan M.
