S. Stuff Correspondent London, April 2't. Within a few days, Ambassador George Ilarvcy will sail for the United Stales on leave of absenro, having completed two years' service as the diplomatic representative of the I'nited States at the court of St. James. There are repeated rumors, always denied, that Ambassador Harvey will not return to Iondon, but will remain in the United States to talio up lu's old vocation of politics.

If lie is leavinir Imdon for good, it 1 is hard to say just what impression lie. is leaving behind him. Ambassador Harvey has been an enigma to the Knglish people. They cannot understand him. When be lirst arrived, they were inclined to believe some new American buffoon had como to grace their diplomatic corns.

Ho drove bis own Ford car through Hyde Park and played golf in bil shirt sleeves. Then Harvey really went into new brand diplomacy" action. Ho displayed a of "shirt sleeve and the irrevalent callc it "don't give a dam The Jiritish and were shoeU-ed. Itut nevertheless they seemed too effective and amidst Hie smiles there came a feeling of respect for thu ability of this range mail. They hoped to be able to tabulate him lint they never have done so.

He remains a mystery. New Uniforms For B. S.

Lodge Calls On President Hoping To Prevent Split In Party Threatened By World Court Continued from Ldj. the parly, the feclim prevailed today among' many Republican leaders that Mr.

Harding had gone so far in his New York speech that it would now be impossible to head off an open break. Among Republican Senators who led the fight in the Senate against the league of nations some satisfaction was expressed because the president took pains to make it clear that the international court of justice, from his point of view, had connection with the league and that his administration would not take the United States into the league, even if the Senate should decide otherwise. On the other hand, Democratic Senators who have expressed approval of the Karding-Hughes-Hoover world court plan, saw in Mr. Harding's speech some hope for eventual American participation in the councils at Geneva. They pointed to the President's elimination of the side door, the back door and the cellar door, as places for American entry, approved this policy, but insisted that the "front door" still remained with participation in The Hague court as the first and preliminary step.

All of the discussion of the President's New York speech, however, was not unfavorably critical. Friends of the court plan believe that Mr. Haiding played good politics by giving the country a clear cut explanation of his aspirations with respect to this country's international political activities, and looked upon the address as the opening gun in the nation-wide campaign to win support for the administration's approval. They plan to lay down a barrage of publicity with the obj'ect of wiping out much of the Senatorial opposition by convincing' the people that the President is right and that he deserves the support of the country. This publicity campaign will receive its greatest impetus during Mr.

Harding's western tour this summer, when he personally will ask the country to stand by his fight to put the court proposal through the Senate in the winter.
