Marion, O., Sept 19.-rAmerlcaa-ism,
its meaning to tne foreign-born
citizen, and the dangers of a hyphen
ated citizenship, was the kenyote of
an address delivered from his front
porch today to delegations of for-cign-born
citizens by Senator' Hard
ing, republican candidate for pr,esi-ident.
The delegations, comprising sev- j
eral hundred, came from New York,
Chicago and cities of the northwest
and Cleveland.
Whilfi rUrt.'t-inor hat "if i- nn
possible and ought not "to be expect
ed that Americans of foreign birth
shall stifle love for kinfolk in the
lands from which thev came, the
senator asserted that "we are unal
terably against any present or future
hyphenated Americanism."
'" Senator Harding was interrupted
many times during his address by
applause, as he struck sympathetic
notes. Touching upon foreign rela
tions, the senator declared that
"nothinjr helpful has come from the
wilful assumption to direct the af-.
fairs of Europe." but that, "on the
contrary, the mistaken policy of in
terference has broken the draw-
, strings of good sense and spilled
bad counsel and bad - manners all
-over the world."
T Raps "Meddling Abroad."
"Meddling abroad," he asserted,

at a park here this afternoon and

Urges Caution. "A
Senator Harding said he not only
believed in fraternity of citizenship;
but a fraternity of natrons, but that
m -playing America'! .role, caution
should be exercised. He alluded to
;n efforts' to have America accept a
mandate over Armenia and said
"While I want America to do its
t share, I do not want somebody else
across the sea to tell us what to
" do or how to do it"
He declared France and' 'England'
had withdrawn their troops from
Armenia in an effort to force Ameri
.ca to accept a mandate, but asserted
that America would do everything
tor Armenia except involve America
5,000 miles away "and plant the sons
of this republic there in . the gater
way between the Orient and Occi
dent to involve us in every conflict
of the old world." ; ,
. Senator Willfam M. CaldeN' New

v on a number of matters, particularly
the work in which he is engaged as
chairman of the senate sub-committee
to inquire into housing shortage.

at the coming session of congress
in December. f

resigned Tuesday, was arrested at
noon Saturday by Chief of Police
Eberstein at thevSouth Side station
and booked on a charge of illegal
possession of liquor and bootlegging.
Chief Ebersteien, who in company
with Police Commissioner Ringer
was isiting the station, said he no
ticed a rather large bulge in Mc
Carthy's right coat pocket and upon
investigation found the bulg'e was a
quart of liquor. Peter Jolly, chief
of police of the local Cudahy packing
plant, said Jie noticed the liquor first
and told Eberstein. ' v
McCarthy was taken to the desk
and booked and afterward taken up
stairs to ine locKer room, wnere ne
protested his innocence and asserted
he was being jobbed and that th$
bottle was placed in his pockets ov
an "erfemy." After a consultation' Bey
tween Commissioner Ringer, Chief
hberstem and Captajn Briggs, Mc
Carthy was ordered to stand up and
Chief ijpierstein presented the former
sergeant! with a handsome all leather
traveling bag, pair of diamond-
studded cuff links and a gold tie
holder as a token of the esteem .in
which he was held by the members'
of the department and "for the effi
cient" record attained in the 26 years
of his correction i withr tne depart
ment. ' ; -,.
The prisoner, with tears in his
eyes, expressed his appreciation of
the gifts and his regrets for leaving
the department. He stoutly denied
that he had ever been a "bootlegger"
or that he had ever carried a bottle
of liquor on his person outside of
that taken from -prisoners arrested
for violation of the prohibition laws.
McCarthy's story greatly impressed
Commissioner Ringer and Chief
Eberstein and the charge against the
former sergeant was dismissed.
McCarthy left last night tor bioux
City. Ia.,rwhere Monday he will take
up his duties as chief of police of
the Cudahy packing plant in the
Iowa city. A large gathering of
friends were at the station to bid him
good hick and a safe journey to his

have contained the infernal machine.

Discussing foreign relations, Mr,

mand for a partisan congressional
victory in 1918, which .ie. character
ized as the "extraordinary return
frr the zeal and sacrifices of repub
licans in support of the adminis

Continuing, he said:
"There was no need for such ex

policy. Republican leaders had
long looked to an association of na
tions to aid in securing the peace

Oeneral Palmer, it was declared at
Hhe Department of Justrce today,
woujd use the Wall street explosion
outrage as a lever upon congress for
legislation to strengthen the arm of
the department for handling "red"
agitators in the country who seek the
overthrow of the government.
The-attorney general sought legis
lation at the last session of congress
which would give his department
more power over radicals, but failed
to get it. In his report to congress,
now in preparation, the attorney gen
eral has embodied a new demand tor
this legislation and the latest outrage,
which officials are now convinced is
the plot of anarchists, will be cited as
an example of conditions demanding
legislative reform.

Mr. Palmer is now in New York
assisting in the determined hunt for
perpetrators of the Wall street crime
and he hopes that evidence will be
adduced to prove" conclusively that
the explosion was deliberately
planned by a group of persons in

Funds Curtailed.
The bureau of investigation of the
Department of Justice has probably
accumulated a grater mass of data
upon this than is anywhere else
available. Beginning with the new
fiscal year July 1, the funds avail

lessened because of the failure of
congress to appropriate as much
money as was allowed last year.
The bureau of investigation or

of the attorney general that this di
