istn and the league of nations have
created friction anion republican
leaden. SenatoV Harding said last
wight "that he Was tatisticd of the
support of a united party on both
issues. '
" He characterized as "absolutely un
true." ftiblished report that Sena
tors Johnson and Borah of the treaty
irreconcilable, had informed him
they soon would withdraw from the

Comments on Cox's Appeal.
Commenting on the appeals of
Governor Cox for progressive sup
port, the republican nominee de
clared he had information convinc
ing him that "the rank and file of
th atmnnrtara ei$ . pAAavh nt
putting their furT faith in our cause."
He made pttblicr-wth his endorse
ment, a telegram ' to the governor
from Charles Sumner Bird of Mas
. sachusetts, a former leader of the
known progressive sentiment was
"a complete refutation" of democrat
ic claims. , Discussing informally the
league issues, Senator Harding said
he never had given privately in let
ter, or otherwise to any republican
leader, any statement of his position
on the lea?ne which had not been
contained. also in his public utter
ances His stand, he said, was known
in every detail to the public and
was commanding the united support
of rniiH1iratiiem
Denies Receiving Letter.
A sked specifically about the report
of a joint letter from Senators John
son and Borah refusing to take
further part in his campaign, the
nominee replied: "There is no such
letter.' The story is absolutely un-
true.". .
, "Have you had any recent com
munication with Mr. Taft on that
lubject?' he was asked, i . ,
"I have had no direct communica-
tbn yjith Mr. Taft, but I have heard
from those close to him and I under
stand, he will be in the campaign
working heartily for the election of
l republican president by the middle
pf October. So will Herbert Hoov
er." ;
The message to Governor Cox
from Mr. Bird said he was a
democrat before b,e went to the re
publican party '. .
"In your acrobatic campaign to at
tract voters, you endeavor to con
vey the impression that the progress
ive voters of the late Theodore
Roosevelt have been ignored and
outlawed by . Senator Harding who,
as you express it, seeks advice from
only 'certain rpe of men name
ly standpatters" ana reactionaries.
The opposition to you of such pro
gressives as Johnson, Poindexter,
Bevendge, James K. viarne-a, mc
Cormick, Baldwin, Robins and, in
fact, by practically all of the pro
gressive leaders who stood back of
Colonel RooseVelt in 1912 and 1916
is a complete refutation of this oft
repeated, 'misleading and tricky
Statement oj jours.
Expresses Indignation.
"I fesent with intense indignation
your desperata' effort to capitalize
his honored 'name for the purpose of
promoting your political aspirations
and for the purpose of perpetuating
-the power of the democratic party,
' which1 he. above all, distrusted and
excoriated."
Commenting on the telegram, sen
ator Harding said: t
"I oply wish to say that the facts
as to the position of the progress
ives of this country as he states
them, are borne out by the informa
tion which is sent to me voluntar
ily, that the rank and file of the
supporters of Roosevelt are putting
their full faith in our cause. '

Yanks Did Not Fight for League
But for U. S., Says Rickenbaeker
American Ace Believes Amen
can Boys Were Not Expected
to Give Lives for Countries
Other Than Theirs.
Chicago, Sept 30. (Special Telc
gram.) Capt Eddie Rickenbaeker,
the American ace of aces in aviation,
stopped a few hours in Chicago yes
terday oarfcis way to San Francisco
and h,e had something to say about
the present campaign. Capt. Rick'
fRbacker is a former Omahan.
Capt. Rickenbaeker said he had
had it in mind for some time to state
his position on the league of nations.
As a soldier who bad been in the
service so long as to be practically
a regular and whose experience had
been the common, property of the
public in the United Slates, it was
difficult for him to make this de
cision. He did not wish to go Into
partisan .politics Except where par
tisan, politics affected the welfare of
his country as he had seen it in the
war and since. He had to come to
the conclusion recently, however,
that it was his duty to speak in be
half of the men with whom he had
been associated in the American ex
peditionary forces, especially those
men of alt branches of the service
with whom he had taken a fighting
part in the line. He aid
Soldiers Not for League.
"I feel it is rny ;duty to speak for
the boys who gave their all for their
country and whA, unfortunately, are
not in a position to tell their friends
and comrades1 at home that they
were willing to fight and die for
America and not for countries whjfh
were not theirs 'nd of which they
knew nothing. ,
"The men who fought in Europe
are not for Mr. 'Wilson's league of
nations or for Mr. Cox's, either. I
know this because I have talked with
hundreds of them. They do not
make a fine argument on the subject,
tut they feel deeply.
"The way they look at it is this:
They went over to Europe and
fought for their country that la
the United States. I do not be'icve
that any one of them ever thought
once that he was fighting to se. ip
i league of nations or to help estah
lish a United States of the wo.d
I know that Mr.' Wilson and Mr
Cox say hey did, but I do not tHnk
that . these gentlemen realize wl;at
the fighting men fought for or the
spirit in which they fought. They
both are mistaken, that is all.

New Agitation .
Is Expected On
Shipping Pact
Fear of England That Abro
gation Would Benefit Japan
Reason for Stand Taken
by Wilson.
I'bicac Tribune-Omaha lite LeMed Wlr.
Washington, Oct. 1. Gen. Per
th? part of Great Britain and Scan
dinavian countries that abrogation of
commercial treaties would work to
the advantage of Japan, were report
ed to have been one of the factors
entering into the decision of Presi
dent; Wilson refusing to carry out
instructions contained in the mer
chant marine act.
The reason for such fears, it was
reported, was that while provision is
made in some of the treaties for a
six months" notice of abrogation, the
treaty with the Japanese cannot be
terminated except on a1 notice of two
years. . It is stated that the nations
other than Japan thought that that
country would retain advantages
during the two-year period not en
joyed by the others.
Way Around Difficulty.
Those favoring the carrying out
of the terms of the merchant marine
act, however, say that it would have
been possible for the president to
notify all countries of the intention
to consider the treaties terminated t
the end of a two-year period regard
less of the fac$ that some of the
tieaties could have been .terminated
at an earlier date. Such a proced
ure, it is said, would have given no
grounds for charges of discrimina
tion, as between countries.
Agitation over the question is cer
tain to be renewed at the coming
session of congress with a possible
message from President Wilson to
give impetus to it. The general be
lief is that congress will fail to either
repeal- this section or make any
changes in it. , '
Ship Owners Divided,
Officials, of the shipping board
were not especially interested In th
matter at the t:ine of the original
passage of the act and ship operator
also are divided on the question of
the desirability cf the proposition,
some of them opposing it. The ele
ments which were chiefly in obtain
ing the inclusion of this section of
ihe bill were shipbuilders and ex
trenie republican protectionists
These elements probably will . be
strong enough tj prevent the repeal
of the section, but will be powerless

in some quarters that failure to give

prevent later action.
