THE BEE: OMAHA, THURSDAY, JULY 22, 1920. S SCOTTSBLUFF wHONORS FIRST OF, SOLDIER DEAD Throng Attends Services for First Youth From City To Lose Life in v World War. Mcottshhiff. Neb.. July 2!. (Spe cial Telegram.) Scottsbluff Tues day paid honor to the first of its sol dii'r, dead to be returned from Fiance when the body of Charles Wright, a native of the community and the first from the city to make the supreme sacrifice, was buried in Fairview cemetery by the members of Wright-Irion . post, American Legion, which was named in honor f him and of Archie Irion, another Scottsblittf young- man killed .n service. Archie Wright, eldest son of Mr. and Mrs. Fred A. Wright, was born, raised and educated in this city. Shortly after the outbreak of the war he enlisted in the coast artillery branch of the service at Omaha, later being sent to Fort Logan and from that point to Fort Rarrancas, near I'ensacola, Fla. He won a pro motion from the rank of private to that of first sergeant. Due to the secrecy by the War de partment, nothing more than that he had left Fort Barrancas during the latter part of September, 1918, could be ascertained by the folks I. ere at houie of his location. Through the merest accident the father learned in conversation with a man on a train a few weeks later that Charles had been taken ill 'ith pneumonia. Despite the most urgent inquiry, it was not until November 26, 1918. that a message was received here telling of the death of the young man at Brest, France, October 11. Full military rites marked the burial today and the throng present to pay their last respects to the young hero was the largest which ever attended a funeral in this city.

Senator Harding's speech of acceptance, to be delivered here tomorrow, is ex pected by his "close associates to give prominence to the foreign pol icy of President Wilson and the league of nations in such a way as to advance the campaign toward a squarely joined issue between the two political parties. Those who know the mind of the presidential nominee declared their confidence today that he would 'make a declaration .squaring with the party platform and the party record and bridging successfully the republican difference of opinion which threatened a split at Chicago. Is Very Militant. The exact form of th declaration was' not revealed, but it was said authoritatively that it would follow the trend of the senator's recent statements and would be particu larly militant in its opposition to the Wilson policies. In addition to declaring unthink able the acceptance of the league as the president fashioned it. however, the senator is expected to express in direct terms his belief that Amer ica should not remain isolated and to take the position that the war's sacrifices will prove in vain unless there is established a new order with added security to pcacnand civiliza tion. Will Speak Broadly. k It is regarded as unlikely that the nominee will enter into a cieianea discussion of the league covenant or will speak objectively of reserva tions or interpretations. He is ex pected rather to hold his utterances to the broad principles involved, hinging his argument to a plea for American rather than world ideals. He is believed certain to couple with this a declaration that the failure of the United States to ac cept Mr. Wilson's league will not be construed abroad as an evasion of duty, but will be interpreted as arising from devotion to the integ rity of the nation.
