If New Laws Should Be Sent to Him Will Judge Them on Merits. By David Lawrence. (Special Correspondent of The Eve-nln- a World.) WASHINGTON. Nov. 17 (Copy- right.) President Harding hasn't changed his- - views on tho Prohibition question, lie voted an n memlcr of the Honnto for the Eighteenth Amend ment and also for tho VolBtead act. Whatever loiters ho has written be- fore and after tho election discussing Prohibition in Its relation to tho voto In Eastern Stntrs was not Intended as a forecast of what ho himself might favor hut an Interpretation of what might bo forthcoming In Con- gress and in the several States. That'H tho position of tho chief ex ecutive as It was outlined to tho cor respondent Mr. Harding hasn't nny Idea of Initiating any change In tho Volstead law by recom- mendation to Congress. Ho has te- - cclved several letters from prominent Republicans In Eastern States telling him tho wet sentiment must bo reck- oned with. Mr. Harding has cour teously acknowledged theso communi- cations and has given It as his per- sonal opinion that there was a shift ing of views going on in tho country He didn't attempt to say in what direction the shift would lead, concretely, but he did hint that he thought It would be In tho matter of regulation: namely, changes In the Volsteiul law. in mis respect nir. naming wuh Mmply sizing up what the last elec tions meant and the effect on Con gress. The President Isn't saying what, his views would be It Cougross put up to him a bill which modified tho Volstead net. Thero l.i ovcry rea- son to bclicvo Mr. Harding's prog nostications have not gone any fur- ther than that. Significance, never- theless, can be attached to the fact that Mr. Hurdlng did write some let ters on tho subject to party associ ates, that ho does bclicvo tho Issue Is so acute that It will not bo aban- doned and that thero has been a shift ing of his views among some voters on the subject. Mr. Hnrdlng is merely referring In his letters to the movement, for modi- fication of Ih'o Volstead law, and ho predicts it will come up for serious consideration. Ho doesn t prophesy It will bo successful. Nobody can tell what any Congress will do after the Anti-Saloo- n Leugue begins Its man-t- o man canvass and holds Senators and Represcntutlvcn to a strict account ability for their acts. Of ono thing tho public can bo cer tainthe President will not engage In tho fight, but will maintain strict ncu trallty waiting for Congress to express Itself. Whatever the Senato and Houso do, especially under Repub lican control, will Influenco Mr. Harding's course. As to hut own vlows, he still stands on his record, namely, enforcement of the existing constitutional amendment nnd en forcement of tho laws now on tho statute books. Jewelry.

By George Buchanan Fife. (Staff Correspondent of The Evening World.) BOSTON, Nov. 17. A towering weight of 66,000 tons, tho Whito Star liner Majestic, tho world's largest ship, was yesterday floated on a cushion of winter Into n drydock In was drawn out from under nor. It was the first tlmo this had hap- pened to her on this sldo of tho ocean, and sho went into the only dock on this seaboard thr.t can accommodate her vast length, 05C feet. It Is a navy dock, lying beside tho long main storehouse of tho Army's Area Headqunrtors. Owing to tho ship's tremendous weight and length and hor bulk, which might bo easily get beyond control, tho docking of tho Mi-Jcst- lc had to bo dono with precise ollowanco for oven fractions of inches. It was absolutely neces- sary that sho bo floated In with such caro that, slid should llo with h'cr keel directly over tho blocks set on tho floor of tho basin, nnd that sho should bo stopped and held Immovablo In a predeter- mined lino In the dock. And nil this was so casdy accomplished tho ship was mado to movo so obediently, even when It was necessary to urgo her nn Inch toward tho southern sldo of tho dock that It seemed tho simplest Job In tho world. Just floating her In on a cushion of water and drawing tho cushion away. Thero had been much specula- tion as to the length of timo that would be required in moving this ponderous man to the proper po1 sitlon and there securing her. At a matter of fact only an hour required to get her into tho proper berth. Her nose entered the dock at 8 o'clock nnd at 9 the floating caisson which sealed the baiin was Vun Into place and made tho great pumps wero started at their task of sucking out tho hundreds of thousands of gnllons of wutcr In the supporting cushion. To accomplish tho docking of this great vessel thero was an army of pigmies at least that's what It looked like from tho upper deck of the Majestic, which was more than n hundred feet nbovo tho rim of tho dock. This army was made up of skilled mon from the Cunrlestown Navy Yard, who wero armed with ropes, which, from that height, looked llko strands of spool thn-nd- . They re- minded oneof the Lilliputians after Gulliver. Hut the Inhabitants of Lllllput got Gulliver Just as theso handy dockmen got the Majestic and bound her fast. When the Majestic came In Just before dawn and passed be- tween Castlo and Governor's Islands, where the newspapermen wero put aboard her, a stiff brcezo was blowing from tho northwest, and this waa event- ually mado to aid the Lillipu- tians In their task. They took every udvnntago they could of this wind, and inndo It help them to get tho gie.it vessel Into tho comparatively narrow dock. In- deed, used it to aid In forcing Iter to tho middle line, Just over tlio carefully set keel bloc-Its- .

The effect of the women's voto will bo to bring out tho higher and less material aspects of politics. Tho women's Influence certainly helped to do so In this election. The cheap cry of \Alice\ and tho attempt to create an feeling to oppose me has failed as miserably as tho cry of \cheap beer\ failed exactly threo years ago, when the electors of tho Sutton division of riymouth returned mo as tho first woman member o?

The mothers of theso babies, which quickly bloom into unusually fine boys and girls, want a place for their off spring to breathe and play and romp is other children have since tho dawn of time.

DREY DOCK.. If el pie. Attempts wero mado to repro sent this contest as a Prohibition' fight, in spite of the fact that tho temperance bill, for which I am re- sponsible, is a local option bill. Tho English drink trade knew that temperance reform makes as strong an nppeal to right-minde- d fathers and mothers as any other kind of Boclal reform, and they therefore endrav-ore- d to represent me as an autocrat, seeking to force Prohibition on an unwilling countiy and to rob the worklngman of his occasional glass I don't think tho drink trado will ever put up nnotlier trade candidate. for tho fact that their nominee is nt tho bottom of tho list Is a setback to ono of tho most powerful trusts In England. There was a moral Issue In this fight, not only in connection with my opponent's policy toward tho so cial evil, which aroused the protest of ill women who recognized tho chal- lenge. This has confirmed mo in my belief that tho women's voto will bring out tho higher aspects of poll tics. Hurrah for Plymouth nnd Virginia!

Tlio part aliout tho dogs and cats having a better chanco in ihl city thana a healthy loy mado a very deep impression. The direct result of the pela. which was buttressed by those o fa nuin lcr of prominent men and women was a decision of tho Estimato Board to consider immediately nn elaborate plan for more playgrounds In tho fl boroughs. The Rus Urban plan will be considered In connection with tho general plan and a public hearing will soon bo arranged.

With tho re sults announced from 603 ot tho 615 constituencies In Great Britain tho re sult stands; Conservatives, 346; La bor, HI: Asqulth Liberals, 61; Lloyd Gcorgo Liberals, 44; all others, 10. This gives Bonar Law a clear ma jority of 85 thus far. Tho popular voto thus far tabulated : Conservatives and Unionists, 464,707; Labor, 4,131.732; Asqulth Liberals, 2,619,870; Lloyd George Lib erals, 1,429,001; Independents, 269,704; Antlwaslo and Prohibition, 54,051; Communists, 28,441; Irish National- ists, 12,614; Agriculture, 11.432. Grand total, 14,081,612. Whllo this cannot properly be de scribed us a landslide as tho Conser- vatives at tho time of tho dissolution of Parliament numbered ubout 380, tt amounts, conMderlng the peculiar of tho time and the high hopex held by tho Labor und Liberal parties of tho return of the country o tho progresslvo views, almost to th sumo thing, und It may bo supposed that tho Conservatives themselves urdly expected such favorable results. It means a Parliament wttn nine changes, except that Mr. Bonar Law replaces Mr. Lloyd Gcorgo us Prime Minister and that tho former Premier's ttenuatcd following of National Lib -- la, reduced by the lections to fearer than 60, will presumably hencerortn bo In opposition Instead of working In with tho Conservatives. Tho Asqulthlnn Liberals lately im- - provexl their position, rising from 34 n tho old Parliament to 62 in me new, but they did not do so well as they expected. Whllo the strength of Conservatism n the country Is n mntter of surprise. erhaps tho keynote of the elections Is ho decline of Liberalism and tne rowth of tho Labor Party. This seems to show that henceforth th struggle will be between tho Conservatives on tho ono hand and the Labor Party ou the other. Tho position now Is that Labor Is tho second strongest party In tne House, and In what looks now ns the mprobablo event of the present Gov ernment suffering defeat In Parlia- ment It would be to the Labor Party that tho King would naturally turn tci a new Premier. Another striking feuturo of tho elec tion Is that the women voters have taken quite nn unexpectedly strong Interest In the struggle, their partici- pation probably accounting more than Anything else for the exceedingly heavy polling. But, however keen their Interest in political life, they do not appear to bo In the mood to elect women to Parliament. Only threo of the thirty-thro- e women who stood for fariiament vero returned, despite the fact that it was tho first general election at which women exercised tho franchise Lady Astor anJ Mrs. Wmtringham wero and Mrs. Alderton of Edinburgh also won. There Is keen disappointment In women's organlza lions that such prominent social workers as Miss Bondfleld, Miss Su san Lawrenco and Miss Ptcton Tur bervllle were lost In the shuffle. , Miss Bonfleld polled a very large voto. as dkl Lady Cooper, Lady Ter rington nnd Miss Rathbonc. One rea son the women give for tho feminine dobacle was that. women wero chosen to stand in constituencies where thero wns only a forlorn hope of their elec- tion.'
