By France to Secure New
Association of Nations.
Washington, Oct. 18. President

Senator Harding relative to the re
publican nominee's statement of
Saturday that he v had been ap
proached '"informally" by a repre
sentative of the French government
relative to a new association of na
. titma. . i
Quoting from a dispatch dated St.
Louis, October 16, purporting to re
port the statement of-jenator Har
ding, the president said:
"I need not point out to you the
grave and extraordinary inference to
be drawn from such a" statement;
namely, that the government of
France, which is a member of the
league of nations, approacehd a pri
vate citizen of a nation which is not
a member of the league with a re
quest 'that the United States lead
the way to a world fraternity.'"
Letter of Wilson.
The letter of the president to Sena
tor Harding follows: '
""Ekhteenth of October, 1920.
"My Dear Sir:
"In the New York, Times of yes
terday, Sunday, October 17, 1920, 1 1
find a statement dated St Louis, Oc
tober 16, which purports to report
certain public utterances ot yours, in
it occurs the following:
"'Replying to criticisms of his
nrooosal for an association of na
tions, he said in a rear platform
speech at Greencastle, Jnd., that he
already had been approached in
formally' by a representative of
France, who asked that the United
States' lead the way toa world fra
ternity, " '
Questions Quotation.
"I write to ask if this "Is a correct
quotation and jf ' yon really said
what is there attributed to you. I
need not point out to,ybu the Rrave
and extraordinary interer.ee to be
drawn from such a statement, name
ly, that the government if France,
which is a member of the league of
nations, approached a private citizen
of a nation which is not i member
of the league with a request 'that the
United States lead the way to a
world fraternity.'
"The Department of State, has al
ways 'found ,the government of
France most honorably mindful of
its international obligations and
punctiliously careful to observe all
the proprieties of international inter
course. I hesitate to draw the infer
ences to which I have referred, un
less I am assured by you thatyou
actually made th statement ;

port workers' executives and the Na

meeting of the executives, of the labor
party, the labor members of parlia
ment and the trade union congress,
which would bring together all the
big labor leaders.
Scotch May Quit.
While the national leaders as a
whole are saying little, there are
some of them who have declared in
favor of a sympathetic strike, not
ably in Scotland and at -Barry,
Wales, an important coal depot.
Ihe newspapers are making much
of the fact that while the strike is
completely effective there are con
siderable sections of the miners who
entered it half heartedly and only
n response to orders. 1 he West
Yorkshire miners are among those
who disapprove of the strike, al
though declaring they will stand by
the others.
The miners- of the vital South
Wales coal fields represent the bel
ligerent section of the -strikers. The
bulk of the extremists of the fed
eration are to be found there and
they are eager to carry on the fight
to the bitter end.
Steel Industry Hit.',;
With the shipping, steel aftd iron
and other industries already hard
hit, many thousands of men are out
of work this morning in various
parts of the country, and it seems
certain b.the end of the week that
the total will be many scores f
thousands unemployed.
The general public already has be
gun to feel the effect of the restric
tions on coal supplies for lighting
and for storing away.- The people
awoke today1 to tind themselves
faced with sharp fall weather, which
demanded either fires or warmer
clothing. If the cold snap con
tinues, it undoubtedly will have an
important effect upon the situation.
No disorders of any description
have been reported. v
All available supplies t coal have
been placed under government con
trol. - ' -

grams which she received from the
ensign since his arrest in Portland.
They were burning messages of
love, confessions and promises, all
of which the young woman plans
using in a forthcoming suit to an
nul, their marriage. Despite his re
peated assertion he married Miss
Dombrow while in a haze of cham
pagne and under the spell of Chi
cago's night life, and consequently
irresponsible. Miss Carlson is de
termined to rid herself of him.
' Miss Carlson's Story.
Incidentally Miss Dombrow is of
the same determination, although
she confesses to loving him still.
The ensign's career in Chicago
with Miss Carlson was described by
her as follows:
"A year ago, when he came out
of the navy, he obtained a position
with the Allied Packers," she said.
"He advanced rapidly, and when
we met at a social function he was
making a high salary.
"He began to shower me with at
tentions. There were flowers ga
lore, canry by the 10-pound boxes,
theater parties, etc., and ; his splendid
limousine always was at rrfy call. I
though it was his car. I now
learn it was a taxicab for which he
paid with bogus checks.
' Grew to Love Him.
"My health failed me last June
and I went to Great Falls, Mont. He
wrote and telegraphed me daily and
I grew to love him. On last Labor
day he stepped off the train clad in
the uniform ol a lieutenant com
mander and said he had come to
marry me.' '
"We were married the following
day and he departed, alone, for Seat
tle, where he said he had an im
portant business : proposition. He
was to return within a few days and
take me back to Chicago."
The denouncemeent came, Miss
Carlson said, when-she received a
letter from her home the day fol
lowing his departure which enclosed
a newspaper clipping concerning hjs
recent marriage to Miss Dombrow.
"I could not believe it," she con
tinued, "and I . telegraphed him at
Seattle. Days passed. I received no
answer. Then-this letter came I
call your attention first to its post
script because it explains his delay
in answering my wire."
He Was in Jail.
The "postscript" was as follows:
"You will notice, darling, that this
letter is dated several days ago. It
is because I am in jail and have not
been able to get out to mail it."
The letter began, "Darling Star of
My Life," and launched into 14 pages
of endearing terms. Then it went
into a repudation of Miss Dombrow
and his marriage to her. Jhe letter
read:
"I do not love that girl, it was
but a nightmare in my life a figure
in a drunken revelry. I met her one
night with a party. I had been hor
ribly lonesome for you and drank
rather heavily.
"We first were at the Midnight
Frolic, then Colosimo's, then the
Marigold Gardens. As we entered
the latter place the spotlight acci
dentally fell on us. - I happened to
he at this girl's side.
"The crchestra struck up the wed
ding march. Everybody in our party
laughed and looked at us. The whole
room laughed and looked We
laughed, too.
Tons of Champagne.
"Tons of champagne followed.
Then I recall somebody saying:
'How about a wedding breakfast? I
don't remember what happened next.
But when I awoke I found f was
married to this girl I didn't even
know her first name. j
"I was fired from the Allied Pack
ers under a cloud.
"I was charged with graft, with
payroll padding ana distorted ac
counts. I don't know anything about
the charges. I was drinking heavily
and a man under the influence of
I?

"But as soon as I get straightened

Renewing his protestations of love
for Miss Carlson, "and for you only,
darling of my soul," he pleaded she

, He said that would enable him to
get out on bail and obtain more sub
stantial assistance from his father.

The girl-wife avowed she had an

Meanwhile he was writing letters
also to wife No. 1. One 'of them,
written even as he was traveling
west to claim Miss Carlson as his
bride it was dated August 31 read
as follows:
"Dear Lillian: I am deeply in
debt, more than $12,000 in the hole.
Our marriage was a terrible mis
take. Please have it annulled. I
am not worthy to see you jagain.
Perhaps, some day in the 'great be
yond,' we will meet again. Do not
expect to 6ee me for at least four or
five years. Yours, GLEN."
Wife No. 2 obtained a warrant for
the arrest of the naval officer on
charges of desertion and nonsupport.
Investigation also has been
launched into other of Aldrich's
marital affairs.
In another letter to Miss Carlson
he intimated he had still a third
wife, believed to be living in New
York.
This intimation came when he ar
gued to her that he could not know
ingly have married Miss Dombrow
because.the letter read, "You know
it would have been impossible for
me to get married again at this
time."
