S. Py Associated Press Leased I Vice Marion, July 1 that the League of Nations will lead all other issues in the campaign is seen by the advisers of Senator Harding in over Sunday developments around the camp fires of the two big parties. The announcement in Washington that Governor Cox stands in perfect accord with President Wilson is taken here to mean a straight-out pjea by the Democratic party for vindication and perpetuation of the Wilson foreign policy against which Senator Harding and all of his lieutenants hero are ready to make the fight of their political lives. Even before yesterday's White House conference was concluded Senator Harding conjectured this significance and outcome and had taken the aggressive in a public statement demanding that the "mysterious foreign commitments'" embraced in the president's program be outlined in detail so the American people might know what they were asked to support.

At the same time he gave assurances that the Republican party never would accept that program. Asks Stand The senator's statement called directly on Governor Cox to put himself on record in regard to Article 10, the Armenian mandate and other subjects on which Mr. Wilson found himself in conflict with the Republican senate and with some influential Democrats. The feeling in the Harding camp today was that the next move was up to the Democratic nominee. The alacrity with which the league issue has come to the fore has caused manifest surprise at Harding headquarters here.

Many of the associates had not expected Governor Cox to take any aggressive measures to hold up the hands of the oresent administration. Harding managers know that within their own party there is some division of opinion regarding the league at believe that on a direct issue of icceptance of the Wilson policy without the dotting of an or the cross ing of a they can count united Republican front. They are confident that such an issue will drive i wedge through Democratic solidarity.

One span of the Chicago. Burlington Quincy's railroad bridge over Rock river between Sterling and Rock Falls was totally destroyed and several other spans were badly damaged by fire late Saturday afternoon, and as a result all rallraod traffic over the stream has been stopped. Late on Sunday evening bridge builders and a I trainload of material Grom the company's shops at Aurora were on the ground to rebuild the burned part of the bridge, and it is announced the company will probably start arrange- ments for (he erection of a new bridge next year. The fire which it is supposed started from sparks from a crossing engine had its origin in the middle span of the bridge and that span was totally destroyed, collapsing Into the stream within an hour after the fire started. The adjacent spans were badly damaged by the flames.

Hard Fire to Fight The Sterling and Rock Falls fire departments fougtit the fire, but It was necessary to use so much hose to get two streams of water to the flames that they made rapid progress and the firemen were forced to devote the entire efforts to saving the rest of the bridge. Volunteers aided in fighting the flames by procuring buckets and ropes and elevating water from the river and dashing It on the burning timbers. The bridge is an old wooden structure, built many years ago to replace one that was entirely consumed by fire. Until a few years ago the present structure was enclosed with sheet steel. When the sheeting was removed it was announced that company Intended to build new modern structure across the river and additional piers were built in the stream.

Hut because of some hitch with the government authorities, it is said, the plans were never carried out and no repairs were made. Hatur- day's fire may mean either a bridge or some effort on the part of the railroad company to make the present structure more sightly.
