Germany has! nothing to fear from the nomination of Warren (;. Harding, as the Republican candidate for the presidency of the United States. ays the Bourbon Zeitung. "Nothing hitherto," the newspaper declares, "warrants apprehension that relations with Germany which have been initiated by American commercial and financial Interests will be hampered and, on the contrary, it is probable they will be furthered. The character of American diplomatic relations with other countries has of late been generally different from American commercial relations. The American business man has emancipated himself more thoroughly than those of other nations from government and politics. He does business wherever business offers. American foreign policies have always been chiefly party politics and will remain so under Harding or doci else. . . interstate Commission Will n 1 t I I- f rrODe I elegraptl Companies (Ry Associated Press) WASHINGTON.

BUTLER A FAKIR, IS GEN. .WOOD'S RETORT TO FORMER'S TALK

CHICAGO June 16. Maior General ! Leonard Wood, in a signed statement . ... . . - . . J uesaay nignt, cnaracienzea as i "vicious and malicious falsehood" a declaration by Nicholas Murray But. ler, President of Columbia University, ; that a "motley group of stock gamblers, oil and mining promoters, munitions-makers and other like persons, backed the General's campaign for the Republican presidential nomination. General Wood said he "regretted" to make the statement, but that it was necessary to "brand a fakir and to denounce a lie," declaring that the men who managed his campaign were of "extraordinary high character." The General said the attack upon them "is infamous," and that Mr. Butler's action was "an attempt to ingratiate himself witM certain elements which exercised a determining influence at the convention."

Colonel William Cooper Proctor, of! Cincinnati, who was chairman of my campaign committee, is a man of extraordinarily high character, known throughout the length and breadth of "he land for his absolute integrity and honesty. "His associates were men of like character, most of whom responded to their country's call during the war. "They typify a group1 of progressive Americans. The attack upon them is infamous. Extensive Backing Claimed "The forces which brought me be fore the convention with preponder ant force were hundreds of thousands of patriotic men and women in every walk of life, who had indorsed me at nation-wide state conventions, nationwide state primary elections, and in a nation-wide poll of unprecedented size. "This action of Nicholas Murray Butler is an attempt to ingratiate himself with certain elements which exercised a determining influence at the convention, and possibly to his own political weakness. explain It is a self-seeking, cowardlv at tack, made under the cloak of an al- ! lefred public s inlen(jed or p service, which never was endered.
