HARDING BELIEVES - ALASKA SHOULD DEVELOP ITSELF Territory Will Have to Worry Along Without Use of Government Money.

M’CULLOCH TO BE TAGGART MAN IN DEMOCRATIC RACE Visit of State Leader to City Gives Rise to Definite Reports, Democratic campaign plans for Indiana were taking definite shape to day with another visit of Thomas Taggart to Indianapolis. One of the results of present ae tfvities is expected to be an announce ment before many weeks of the can didacy of Dr. Carleton B. McCulloch for the nomination for Governor. McCulloch will bo the Taggart can didate. This fact is as definitely set tied as anything political can be. McCulloch wants the nomination and Taggart Is going to see that he gets it. If he does not get the nomlna tlon it will be because Taggart has less Influence on the party than he has had in previous years. Taggart is not talking politics for publication. He is going to let others do that when the time comes. But he is mighty active. There are still other gubernatorial booms, but they are “unofficlaL” They do not have the Taggart stamp of approval. The boom of William H. O’Brien, Lawrenceburg. may die a-booming. O’Brien's friends have been attempting to get the indorsement of Taggart. There have been meetings at French Lick and there have been meetings in Indianapolis. Nothing doing. T. T. is for McCulloch. The doctor, say his friends, sacrificed his time and his energy and his money on the altars of Democracy in 1920 when he did not have a chance. Now that things are different he should be rewarded, they say. From the wilds of Madison County is being heard the first faint roar of another boom, and like the O'Brien movement, it comes from an old “wheel horse.” The instigators, or perhaps the victim, of this movement, is Dale Orittenberger, editor of the Anderson Bulletin, former Auditor of State, member of the State committee, and Democratic politician from away back. His friends also have been bidding for the Taggart support. It is reported they are having exactly as much luck as the O’Brien backers. Meanwhile, Dr. McCulloch Is saying nothing and Taggart is preparing to show the foil? who is boss.

Foreign, Policy of* England Declared Bankrupt—Advises Nation to Let France Settle With Germany in Her Own Way With out Interference,
By United Press LONDON, July 18.—Great Britain should “clear out of Europe” and let France “settle her account Vith Germany by her own methods,” Lord Beaver brook, proprietor of the London Express, declares in a statement on the eve of publication of the British note to Germany. Beaverbrook, a Canadiad by birth, is one of the most powerful figures behind thb scenes of British politics, having helped to make and unmake prime ministers and the govern-' ments.
By LORD BEAVERBROOK (Copyright. 1923, by United Press) LONDON, July 18. —Premier Poincare of France has anticipated Premier Baldwin’s proposed reparations note by a speech at Senlis in which he declares without reseivations or evasions France has come to the end of all concessions she is prepared to make. He is emphatic in his determination not to go back one inch from the Ruhr occupation policy and all it implies, and he sees nj) hope of settlement by other means. He lays stress in his belief of Britain’s honesty of purpose and expresses "grief at the thought that differences over this momentous question of reparations cast even a shadow on Anglo-French friendship, but in the end he is firm In his purpose. No Foundation for Hopes High hopes were entertained the Baldwin government would in some way or another not deflintely put an end to the deadlock of the Ruhr and reparations situations. Such hopes never had any foundation in fact and never can have as long as the French people support Poincare’s policy. For this ferment of expectation the government itself Is largely responsible by suggesting that Baldwin might succeed in bringing France around where Bonar Law failed, whereas in reality, as the Daily Express pointed out at the time, his only contribution to this subject was a "new brand of opUmism.” Mustn’t Blame Nation Having set this note for themselves, the ministers must not blame the country if it' exhibits some disappointment now Poincare’s speech has ended the high hopes of the nation. The reception of the British note Is now a foregone conclusion and France will reply In a week from now she intends proceeding against Germany in the future exactly as In the past. Britain has two alternative courses before her. First she can submit to the French decision which wiy make her recent action with its loud press talk of retaking the lead in Europe once more look rather ridiculous and humiliating. Second she can dett rifely break with France and conclude what must filially end in an economic alliance with Germany against a former ally. This last proposition has only to be stated nakedly for all men to see how impossible it would look to British public opinion—at least) for many years to come. Foreign Policy Bankrupt if then these were the only alterna tlve courses the British foreign policy would seem to be in a bad way, in fact, practically bankrupt. I, however, believe there is a third and wiser plan open to British statesmen whereby we reed not quarrel with nor be subservient to France nor yet ally ourselves with Germany. It is to clear out of Europe and while taking what we can get from European markets devote our surplus energies to the peaceful development of the British empire. Franc? thinks she can successfully settle her account with Germany bv her own methods. Let her see to it.
STATE BAY CROP REPORTED WEEDY Wheat Harvesting Practically Completed, Varying yields of wheat throughout northern Indiana in which thrashing is progressing steadily is reported by George C. Bryant, agricultural statistician for Indiana. Harvesting of the crop is practically completed in ail parts of the State, while some oats and barley have been cut in southern counties.

FarvnerLaborite, in Minnesota’s senatorial | election, set political tongues wagging i on the subject of a possible “compro- | mise” candidate between President i Harding and the extreme "left wing” ;in the Senate when 1924 Republican nominations are considered. In Washington, Frazer Edwards finds a group of “stand patters’’ talking of Hiram Johnson, now homeward bound from Europe. In New York, Paul R. Mallon has learned progressive Republicans are agreeing upon Judge William S. Kenyon of lowa as the man to succeed Harding. V KENYON AS MEDIATOR lowa Jurist and Former Senator Is Choice of New Yorkers. Bv United Press NEW YORK, July 18.—A representative group of progressives has decided to back William S. Kenyon of lowa, former Senator and now Federal judge, for the presidency of the United States in the 1924 election. Kenyon will be put before the Republican convention as an opposition candidate to President Harding. If he fails of nomination, an independent movement probably will be started. It is believed he. more than any other man, can attempt to join the dissatisfied Republican elements, the near-progressives and the ultra-pro-gressives. THIRD PARTEY IS FEARED Progressives Believe California Senator Would Head Off Move. By United Press WASHINGTON.

Johnson's friends are not the only ar.es behind the boom. Some standpat leaders were discussing him seriously for the Republican nomination to head off a third party move by La Follette.

SOCIAL AFFAIRS , MAKE CAMP KNOX LIFEMEABLE Serious Work Broken by Many Dances, Boat Rides and Parties. BY DOROTIHf STANHOPE (Times Staff Correspondent.) CAMP KNOX, Ky„ July 18.— The Kentucky Cavalry gave a dance Monday night at the Officers’ Club—a very brilliant affair, with s-v 'ral hundred officers in white and khaki. General Carter and General Deuhardt, opponents for nomination for Lieutenant Governor of Kentucky, were there, apparently the warmest of friepds. The music for the Kentucky dance was by an orchestra of Purdue—Ohio State boys—which has won quite a reputation here. The 150th field araillery has brought a thirty-piece band with it from Muncie. > Preparations are in order for coming of General Pershing. This will be the first time he has visited {he camp for two years. There will he a review followed by a banquet at which camp commander, Gen. Dwight' E. Aultman, will preside. This will be followed by a reception for the entire camp. While here it is probable the General will pin on Maj. .Gen. Robert Tyndall, Ihdianapolis, the Distinguished Service medal, which has been awarded him. He is now wearing the Legion of Honor, conferred by General Gouraud. The O. R. C. closes Saturday, so General Pershing will not reach here in time for the officers of that corps to meet him. Some will remain over however. The Kentucky Infantry and cavalry, too, will break camp Sunday. The training of troops arriving Sunday began as fast as physical examinations completed. Examiners have In mind discovery of any contageous disease, always apt to spread rapidly when It breaks out among troops. Col. Ben Lear will head a party of officers from Ft. Leavenworth who will conduct a series of tactical walks ipr National Guard field officers. There will be four of them this week. The party will walk over the terrain® where an imaginary battle is being fought, and defend or attack a situation. The O. R. C. has invited officers of the camp to a dance in their service club this evening. Their club is decorated with flags and streamers. It is provided with a reading-room furnished with latest magazines, sent down by Indianapolis Overseas Girls. The O. R. C. hostesses are Miss Goodwin. Newcastle, and Miss Courtney, i Indianapolis. These young women' make the club attractive and homelike and receive guests at dances. There are four hostesses in ramps, all of whom were overseas. They were secured because of their experience in entertainmnt of troops. Th R. O. T. C. will have its third and last dance In Louisville Saturday night. Last Saturday they had their annual boat ride. Practically the same girls are invited to all functions. The Invitation list is made out by well known Louisville women who have been much Interested In the camps since war days.
