oARDLIuNrS DRUG STORE
1l'TElD EARLY TODAY

Thieves, evidently bent on making
Il ,thoesu9h search Of the premises,
broke into Boardmany drug store
some time early this morning and
made away with loot which would
scarcely pay them for the call. En-
trance was gained by forcing the
rear door open, the intruders EVIL
IDENTIFY making their exit the same
way.
As far as can be ascertained4 by
Mr.. Boardman, nothing Of any conse-
quence was TAKEN. only a small
amount Of money being taken from
the stamp drawer and penny sack,
although indications are that thor
ough search was made, since a num-
Der Of drawers were left partly open.
A visit was made to the safe in the
balcony at the rear of the store, but
nothing there was harmed. The rea-
son for the visit is still a matter of
conjecture since very little money u
kept in the store over night. Police
are investigating the intrusion and
believe it to b the work Of amateurs.

Coming of Rene yiviani to u. S.
Is Believed to Be Meant
as a Sounder
FRENCH BELIEVE US.
WILL CANCEL LOANS
Willing to Modify League Plan
to Suit Demands of New
Administration
(By United Press)

Washington, March II. (By Ralph
H. Turner. 1.-The coming to America
of Rene Viviani, former French pre-
mier, has two main objects, it was
stated in semi-official advices receiv-
ed in Washington. France desires:
To sound out the Harding ad-
ministration and the question of
French indebtedness to the Unit
ed States and determine whether
there is any possibility of the
French debt being cancelled.
To draw the United States in
to European affairs bv modified
league of nations or any other
agreement which needs the ap-
prevail of this government.
A considerable section Of French
opinion, it Is indicated, believes the
United States eventually will cancel
all or part of the allied debt. France
has received cash to the extent Of
$4,000, 100000 and is eager to learn
Harding's loan policy at the earliest
possible date. The French desire to
obtain cancellation Of the American
loan has been stimulated, it was
learned, by the realization that
allied invasion of Germany and the
exaction of penalties is doomed to
failure as a means of collecting Ger
man reparatiOns.
Linked with the Preparations and
loan situation, French opinion is
stronger today than ever that they
need some form Of American cooper
alton in order to carry out success
fully the French policies in central
Europe. In order to gain the sup
port, according to advices reaching
Washington, Viviani is ready,to acs
csae DIS mich apodifixG ton 81 the
league az the Hars'ing administration
may demand. france believes, &C.
cording to opinion here today, with
American backing she will meet with
greater success in collecting from
Germany.
