FRUIT TO LOCAL PARTIES

Mrs. j. w. Butler, the Misses

ceive1 q hos Of fruit this, week from
Mr.. J. A. Barnes, fruit grower of
Largo, Fla, whose letter of inquiry
about Washington was published in
our issue of last week. The pack
age contained grapefruit, two vari-
cites of oranges and kumquots, all
of which the editor can personally
testify were excellent. Eating the
kumquot was an entirely new ex-
perience, as this was the first Of
this fruit seen here; it is the color
of lemon, small and oblong, and
grows in clusters. This fruit car
ries some of the characteristics of
both the orange and lemon; it is
sweet near the surface but the center
is quite as, sour as the lemon.
Mr.. Barnes was born and reared
here and he expressed his intention
of revisiting Washington at a future
date.

Paris. Aug. 13.- Frances aggres- sive anti-soviet policy and the conse- quent diplomatic misunderstanding with Great Britan make the resigna- tion of President Paul DeschaIe inn mnent, it was currently reported to- day in high political circles of the capital. In the event of M Des- chanels resignation, it is considered likely that Premier Millerand will succeed him as president, and NJ. Briand. former premier, will assume Millerand's duties.
 Frances recognition of General Baron Peter Wrangel is regarded by the French press as a mere incident in the gradual divergence of policies adopted by France and England in the Russian crisis. The french news papers hold that the divergence has existed for months and the recognition of Wrangel, only served to reveal the difference.
 International relations have now reached point, as viewed by the press, where the "entente cordial" re- qulres new and more solid base.

AMERICA TO SUPPORT
 POSITION OF TRANCE
lRr Irited pressN

Washington, Aug. 13.-For the most part, American diplomats are inclined to side with France in extending re- cognition to General Wrangel and to
 espouse the French point of view in preference to that of England As expressed in official circles, General Nrangel is the successor of Admiral kolchak, who had the sympathy, if not the support of the associated pow CTS, and hence is entitled to the re- cognition which France has extended. kolchak, although strongly endorsed,
 was not officially recognized by the
 Wilson administration. His collapse
 in south Russia was followed by Wrangel's rise to power as the chief enemy of the soviet regime.
 Hugh Gibson, American minister to
 Poland left Washington today for his
 post at Warsaw. His departure was taken at a time when President Will son andSecretary of State Colby are giving serious consideration to a re quest of the Polish government for permission to purchase war materials
 in the United States. Another meas ure which may be adopted to extend
 'all available support to Poland, as expressed in President Wilson's note
 to Italy, may be suspension of Amer ican statute forbidding the enlistment of citizens in armed expeditions against friendly power It was said semi-officially that the president wartime powers authorize him to sus- pend this statute in order that Ameri- cans may volunteer for service in the
 Polish army.
