Administration leaders In all branches of the government expressed confidence tonight that speedy and favorable action would be taken by Congress on the British debt funding settlement nee It is submitted by the President While It was generally admitted that opposition to the plan would develop considerable strength, administration spokesmen argued that a free discussion of the plan would win support for it both in Congress and throughout the country. Tha President was understood -tonight not to have definitely determined whether he would have present the plan for congressional consideration personally or would send it to the capital with a brief statement of his views, although there were Indications pointing to the latter cmirsa." Presentation Expectei Today. It apiared probable that the quea-tKn would turned over ta Congress tomorrow but there was no definite decision on that tonight nor ware the leaders agreed on the form hi which they would seek to obtain congressional sanction to tha funding commission's work, President Harding was aald to have been engaged much of today in drafting his views on the plan preparatory to laying them before Congress. He held numerous conferences with administration leaders from the capital and talked over various phases of tha plan and discussions between the British and American Commissions with several members of the American commission including Secretary Mellon, Its. chairman.

The information thus supplied, it was said, was being by the President in his argument for ratification of the terms by Congress. Mellon Calls it Victory. Secretary Mellon was represented as having declared that he regarded the settlement aa a victory for American statesmanship in that it would successfully close one of the greatest transactions ever to take place between two nations. Further, "It was said, Mr. Mellon informed the President that the settlement, if accepted by Congress, would go far toward solving the great question of dealing with all war time debts, a question regarded by economists as one of the hindrances to stabilizing world conditions.

Two Actions Considered. While there appeared to ba differences of views aa to the form In which Congress should pass ratifying legislation. It was understood that the act would be either in the form of a resolution dealing specifically with tha British settlement or an amendment to the present law encompassing tha terms of tha British arrangement Secretary Mellon was declared to ba favorable to any measure that would close up the settlement before March Z.

President Harding will be a candidate for re-election In 1921 and will be renominated unanimously by the Republican party, Sena- tor Watson of Indiana, prominent in ine itepuoncan leaaenmip, preuictea in the Senate today during a debate with Democrats over political questions. The Indiana senator also promised his support for Senator Ixidge of Massa chusetts, the Republican leader In the! Senate for that position In the next Congress, saying that "If the senator' from Massachusetts wants to be lead- er in the next Congress I know of no reason why he shouldn't be and I am for him." Ho added that the llepublican party would present a united front in 1324, and stand on the administration's record in Congress and in the executive departments. Statements Significance was attached to Senator Watson's statements because of mention which has been made of him as a possible presidential candidate next year and because of his prominence in the administration leadership and his close personal and political connection with President Harding. Frequently he is in consultation with the chief executive and in fact made his statements on the floor of the Senate today not long after returning from a White House conference. The assertions of the Indiana senator were made In reply to Senator Harrison, Democrat, Mississippi, who started the political discusoion.

The Mieis-slppi senator in a characterstc address referred at length ta the announcement last week of the designation by Senator Lodge of Senators Wadsworth of New York and Lenroot of Wisconsin ta aid in flow debate, contending that thia waa directed against the possible presidential candidacy of the Indiana senator. Harrison Sees Diwiennion. The Republican ohove. Senator Harrison declared, indicated dissension and "dethronement" from leadership work of Senators Watson anJ Curtis of Kansas, the latter assistant leader and whip. He also suggested that it might be a move to "kill off" the presidential reported for Senators Watson and Capper, of Kansas, the latter Senator Curtis' colleague.

During the melee Senator Lodge explained that ha had not named Senators Wadsworth and Lenroot a "assistant leaders," but, aa in the past, bad designated them to aid In discussion on the Senate floor. Senator Lodge also paid tribute to tne'aid oi Benators Curtis and Watson. "if President Harding wants to bei renominated he ought to be, because the Republican party ought to stand on the administration record," said Sena-tar Watson. "It would not bo possible to stand on that record and decapitate its leader. We stand on the record made by the Congress and the administration, legislative and administrative.

Hat No Doubt of Benomlnatlon. 'I have no doubt In my own mind that the President will be a candidate for the presidency, and that he wtll be renominated unanimously." "I ani very glad the senator stopped at renomlnation," Senator Harrison interjected. "That is as far as if necessary now; the other details will be looked after later." Senator Watson replied. Referring to an announcement that Senator Wadsworth was to represent the conservative and Senator Lenroot the progressive wing of the Republican party. Senator Harrison said that if all Republican wings were to be represented there would have to be more than two assistant leaders.

Senator Lodge also replied to Senator Harrison, declaring that In reality he hnd created no new offices in the Republican organization of the Senate, and had appointed no assistant leaders, but that he had repeatedly asked advice and would continue to do so. Lodge Praises Watson. The Republican leader took occasion ta praise Senator Curtis, fn whom he said the Republican party In the Senate "never have had a more painstaking ar harder working whip," and Senafor Watson, of whom he said there waa "no senator here with whom I have consulted more, or whose advice have more often taken." Senator Lodge directed the attention of Senator Harrison to the right for leadership on tha Democratic side of the Senate chamber and said there were numerous species of Democrats there to be satisfied also. "So far as the Republican party is concerned, thera la no division as to national leadership, and no discord as to leadership In the Senate." IJncoln Receiver Tays V. 8.

5. (By Associated Press.) The Havaa News Agency learns from Lausanne that Ismet Pasha acting for Turkey, has accepted the Allied terms respecting capitulations. Premier Poincare has received con. flrmation of this A telegram to the premier from M. Bompard, head of the French delegation at Lausanne, gave the details of a long talk between M.

Bompard and the Turkish leader before the former left for Paris. Ismet was more completely informed of the Intentions of the Allies in the event of a settlement was not reached. He did not persist in his uncompromising1 attitude of last night, the telegram said, and accepted the text of the capitulations previously submitted him, thus removing the only obstacle to the signature of the treaty. "Allies Accept Reservations. The reservations ot the TurRs on other points, as Mosul, have aU ready been accepted by tha Allies.

Premier Poincare hastened 'to trans mlt this favorable news to London, and It should be in the, hands of the British povernment tonight, although perhapa too late for the cabinet meeting whictt was called on the arrival of Lord Cur-zon, the foreign secretary, from Lausanne. Ismet Pasha told M. Bompard that If he should make a hurried trip to Angora it was fully understood that the Mudanla Armistice would continue-In force at reast during his absence. Not a Rupture. It Is not a rupture the conference i Interrupted." said M.

Bompard, chief French delegate to the Lausanne Near East conference, on his arrival 1 Paris late tonight from Lausanne. "I cannot say wht-n the pourparlers will be resumed, for the good reason that I do not know," he added. The situation, according to French advices, is as follows: Ismet Pasha, head of the Turkish delegation, is ready to accept the treaty as formulated by the Allies, including the clause safeguarding tha juridical rights of foreigners, on condition that the ecoaomlo part of the compact Is left for further discussion. Poincare Wants Treaty Signed. Ismet proposes to resume the negotiations on his return from Angora, a month hence.

M. Poincare, the French premier, on V.A 1 warns mo treaty signed and got out ot the way immediately, and is using every endeavor to Induce Ismet to accept his viewpoint. Active exchanges also are golns; on with London and Rome, and it is hoped the question will be cleared up within the next 2t hours. The secretariat of the vtiferen. mains at Lausanne the conference has not and will not be declared officially ended.

Until that la done there will be no hostilities, for Ismet Pasha repeatedly has stated he considers the Mudanla armistice will continue in force as long as the conference is "not terminated. Turk Press Confident Break Will Be Healed. Constantinople, Feb. 5. (By Assoclat ed Press.) In contrast with its recent rather bellicose utterances, the press tonight Is inclined to take a hopeful view that the Lausanne rupture is not complete.

It lays stress on dispatches reporting that intervention towards resumption of the negotiations is x-pected. Constantinople is tranquil, and foreign circles only fear the possibility of a fanatical outbreak among the irresponsible elements in Stamboul, which is considered remote. The military men are watching the Maritza frontier anxiously. In the belief that if the rupture Is definite the Greeks may regard the situation as reverting to the status before the Mudanla armistice, and attempt to reoccupy their positions. This undoubtedly would precipitate a grave situation, as it is known that the Turks have Increased their forces in that region far beyond the agreed numbers.

-For more than 3,000 years a woman has been smiling the most amazing smile you ever saw in the dark tomb of King Tut-Ankh-Amen. She was carried out today into the blinding sunlight and a dozen modern men and women gasped with amaze- ment until some one found the right phrase to describe her questioning smile: "It is the Mona Lisa of Ancient Egypt." Nothing like her has ever been found before. She Is a life size statue with a high waist, made of wood and thinly coated with plaster. The image Is painted a golden color and obviously was modelled from life. As I saw her borne along, I felt that she was the most romantic thing ever seen.

Think of a smile given back to tha world after 30 centuries; the resurrection of beauty, after 3,009 years. She passed like a queen, glad It seemed to be admired once more and happy that men still found her beautiful. May Be Dummy For. King's Wigs. She struck a human chord In every heart, but who was she7 What woman has been smiling that enigmatic smile for centuries in Pharoah's tomb? She raises the most interesting and puzzling problem the excavators have been called upon to figure out Possibly it was the dummy on which the king tried his wigs.

It Is believed, however, that experts 1 will in time recognize her as Tut-Ankh-! Amen's wife, Ankhsenpaten. Her light complexion is of the traditional color the ancient Egyptian artists gave women. The crown she wears never has been seen before on any statue of kings. It Is fronted with a sacred uraeus, or snake; a symbol of royalty and possibly It is a crown designed by her father, Akhnaton, for his daughter tha queen. Her figure la that of an Immature girl.

8,000 Year Old Lot Story. Is it possible that here we have the first hint of a love story? Is the statue one of Princess Ankhsen-paten modeled before her marriage, a statue for which the king held "a romantic affection and directed to be buried with him to keep him company and smile on him during his long Journey in the shade? This story appears much more plausible than that the statue was a wig model The high crown alone makes it impossible to fit a wig of any kind on it. Her wonderful eyes are Jet black with gleaming whites. They will never be forgotten by those who saw her happily smiling when she return ed to a changed world. Today representatives of the Egyp- yan government met the senior members of the discovery party and submitted an agreement which the Egyp-tlon government desires the (discoverers to adhere to regarding control of the tomb.

One interesting clause states that if one newspaper representative be allowed access to the tomb, all must be allowed the same privilege. It Is stated the Egyptian government is unyielding on this point. French and Germans Bid for Air Routes in Portugal, Islands Lisbon, Feb.

That the world today still is far from being in a state of universal contentment and that every nation should prepare itself for any events in the near future, were statements made today by Governor-General Leonard Wood before the annual convention of the Veterans of the Philippine Revolution, an organization of Filipinos. The governor-general added the advice that the Filipinos should prepare themselves constantly for defense if they expect some day to become an independent nation. It was for this reason, he said, he had advocated military instruction In the schools. French Extend Occupation in Province Mannheim Invasion Feared as Big Military Movement Impends.

Ixndon, Feb. 5. A dispatch to the Times from Essen announces tha occupation by the French of Goddelau, in Hesse. The dispatch says the deepest point of the new advance beyond the frontier Is 25 miles and that it seems extremely probable the big military movement which a week ago waa expected to follow the presentation of an ultimatum to Berlin will now be made without that formality. The Germans expect the occupation of Mannheim at any moment.

The dispatch adds that the government at Baden has forbidden all Baden officials to take any orders from the French.

Chancellor Cuno was traversing the occupied Ruhr area when news of the 'French occupation of Ofenburg and Appenweler In Baden, reached him, and no official action with respe'-t to this latest French advance is expected before his return to Berlin tomorrow.

The official note apprising the German government of the impending occupation was delivered to the foreign office In the Wilhelmstrasse 13 hems after the French cavalry entered the Badenese cities. Break With France Urged. While a section of the press discusses the new French move In phlegmatic tones barne of the prevailing resignation with which Germany's help lessness la largely contemplated, several of the conservative organs have been aroused to a fit of fury. The Kreua Zeitung demands the immediate breaking off of relations with France and the expulsion of all French and Del gian members of the Allied control commissions, as well as the civilian nationals of both countries now In Germany. It believes that, Inasmuch as official protests from Germany to the Allies are no longer of avail, the presence In Paris of the German charge d'affaires has become Breaking ot relations, the newspaper argues, would also effectively dispose of the rumors that the Cuno government Is about to capitulate to the occupying powers.
