PJ5A0E RESOLUTION
1
THE H A RON CASE.
President Harding Is understood
to have approved the introduction of
the Knox peace resolution immedia-
tely after congress reconvenes next
week. A final decision has not been
reached, however, it was indicated
in Washington Monday by republican
leaders, as to when it will he pressed
for adoption.
Hopes were said to be entertained
In admin 1st rat ton crcles that a def-
inite progress toward a concord of
nations on a new world peace urogram
wll be posable soon.
For that reason, a period of three
months Or so might be allowed before
action will be taken on the resolution
by congress. Some of Harding’s ad-
visers said he would hold that, with
the Knox resolution pending, influence
should be exerted on the thought and
action of other powers In their con-
sideration of peace'questions which
might be Introduced.
Natural influence of debts owliift to
the I’nited States will be added to this,
it was said.

TUNE OF YANKEE DOODLE
ANTEDATES CIVIL DAB
The origin of “Yankee Doodle” Is
involved in obscurity; but it Is said
that the song was introduced by the
British troops about the beginning
of tbe American Revolution. While
the British were in the city of Bos-
ton In the summer of 1775 some
rhymer among them wrote a poem
In derision of the dress equipment,
etc., of the New England troops, or
’ Yankees " That waa the original
"Yankee Iloodlf” song. The author-
ship is generally ascribed to Dr, Rich-
ard Shuckburg, a British surgeon and
wit.
Dr. Edward Everett Hale has at-
tributed the present version of “Yan-
kee Doodle" to Edward Bangs, who
graduated from Harvard in 1777. The
tune has been attributed to various
countries and even carried back to
(he Church of the Middle Ages, but
most likely it had its origin in Eng-
land. It is found in an opera by
Samuel Arnold, "Two to One." pro-
duced in l-ondon in 17H4,
