Dieppe Is Popular
With English Folk
As Cocktail Paradise

LONDON.-Dieppe is very popu-
lar with English people just at
present, remarks The London Times
special correspondent, owing to the
elaborate arrangements made to sup
ply them with the cocktails that
they have now got into the habit
of taking.
Although the habit is extensive
in London there are only specified
times at which it can be INDUCED
IN. At Dieppe there are no licensing
restrictions, and it is therefore
something in the nature of cock
tail-taKers' paradise"
At one Of the largest american
bars" in the town there are no
fewer than forty varieties Of cock
tails on sale and they all cost one
price. That price is five francs. II
the same price were introduced in
London it might have the effect Of
putting an end to the cocktail habit,
but in Dieppe five francs is not be-
grudged for a thimblefui of mixed
drinks. This is not very surprising
when it is considered that a large
measure Of whisky costs from '1S
to 20 francs

Soldier Bonus Act
In New York Invalid,
Appeals Court Holds

ALBANY, n. Y, Sept. 2.-The
court of appeals, by a vote of five
to two, today held the state soldier
bonus acts invalid on the ground
that it violated Article VII, section
1, Of the state constitution, which
prohibits lending the credit of the
state for the benefit of any individ-
ual, association or corporation.
Judge William S. Andrews wrote
the prevailing opinion which was
concurred in by Chief Judge Frank
II. Triscock and Associate Judges
John w. Hogan, Chester B. Nc
Laughlin and Frederick E. Crane.
Dissenting opinions were filed by
Judges Benjamin n. Cardozo and
Cuthbert w. Pound.
The bonus act, according to the
majority of the court, is clearly
gift of the credit of the state unless
it is payment of some obligation
which the state owes. The court
continues that the bonus is not the
payment of an obligation to the for
mer service men from the state.
The claim, the court holds, is a
claim essentially against the federal
government, a claim which the gov
eminent recognizes and in payment
of which it proposes to appropriate
an amount estimated at between
three billion and five billion dollars.

BANKERS TO DISCUSS
". & 4. RENT PLAN

At a conference of state house Of
ficers with Governor Hardwlck, in the
executive offices Friday morning, 1t
was determined to call a meeting Of
leading Atlanta bankers and their
counsel. to discuss and consider in
formally the legal questions involved
in connection with the funding of
the Western and Atlantic railroad
rentals, as authorized by the legisla-
ture. The meeting will be held next
Tuesday afternoon in the office of the
governor at o'clock.
"A representative of every state
depository in Atlanta will be in at
tendance" said the governor, land
they will be requested to bring their
counsel with them
The state repositories in Atlanta
are seven in number, as follows: At
lanta National bank, Fourth National
bank, Lowry National bank, Fulton
National bank, Citizens and Southern
bank, Central Bank and Trust cor
poration, Atlanta Trust company.
1.-The Importance Of expediting the
funding of the. state railroad rentals
was emphasized at the conference
Friday morning with the attorney
general, the secretary of state, the
state treasurer and the comptroller
generally Governor Hardwick con-
tinued.
while L personally haven't
doubt as to the legality of the fund
ing plan, and the attorney general
and other officers of the state concur
in this view, which also was consid-
cred by the legislature, it is deemed
essential that every vestige of posi-
BILE legal objection shall be satisfied
In order to expedite the sale of eXecu-
tive warrants against the railroad
rental returns.
II believe that the Atlanta bank
ers, as representative of bankers
sci can and will be satisfied as to
the legality of the funding of these
rentals, but in matter of such mo-
ment to the state, we cannot afford
to take any chances. If legal objec-
tionS are to be insisted upon by the
bankers it is important that we
should be fully informed, so that
steps may be taken to satisfy them"
The governor already has received
bids from state banks for enough
executive warrants to take up one
years rental of the Western and At
lantic. These bids, he announced Fri
day, are based on per cent dis
count. He thinks that the rate of
discount will decrease as the period
of time for the deferred rentals in
creases.

WARS ABOLITION
IS FUTILE HOPE,
HARDING DECLARES

WASHINGTON, Sept. Hope OF
entirely abolishing war is perfectly
futile" President Harding told Off
GERS at the army war college here
Thursday.
Armies and navies probably will
always be necessary, he said, no mat
ter how far aspirations toward world
peace lead.
The president blamed lack Of un-
Outstanding for the warfare in West
Virginia, and declared that policy
of understanding at home and abroad
would solve many ills.
Practically every high officer Of the
army was present in the small lee
ture room of the war college when
the president spoke. Secretary of
War Weeks and General Pershing
also spoke briefly.
Must Always Arm
mo matter where the best aspira-
ton of the world may lead up there
may never be a time without the ne
cessty for armed forces" President
Harding said.
DSllSNS Will oil lily IlCo1 lila
we are going to diminish the bur
dens of armament. / believe with al
my heart that we will have lesser
armies and navies, but there may
never be a time when there won't be
the requisite defense agencies.
ut is perfectly futile to think
there will never be conflict when we
stop to think that in the 1000 years
of Christian civilization and the f.
600 years of pagan civilization we
have only lately come to civilized
state of warfare and even that does
not apply to all nations.
But America, L can say without
unseeming boasting, has come nearer
to it than any nation.
"And 1 pledge you now that yol
will never be called to service un
der this administration for any worl
that you cannot enter with all your
hearts and souls as American citi'
zens."
Should BE Understanding
President Harding told the army
officers that the principle of un'
Outstanding should govern the ma
ton both in it's domestic and in its
world affairs.
1--WE ought to have no conflict like
that which is now distressing us
in West Virginia." he said. THAT
condition is due, 1 believe, to a lack
of understanding.
There ought never be conflict be.
tween nations if those in authority
have understanding. and I want you
to be the defenders of an admins
! tration that believes in a fullness
of understanding at home and E
fullness of understanding among the
peoples of the world"
Opening his brief address, Presi
dent Harding explained that he must
rely upon the technical skill such
as is being acquired by Officers
studying at the war college.
1.-THE president after all is just
The agency employed in focusing a
judgment and knowledge of those

President Harding said. NO man.

United States if it were otherwise

remind you that if the war college
is an institution which brings the
knowledge and experience to bear on
the theory it is making a contribu-
ton to this government.

too many theorists know nothing of

possible to use both the farm loan
banks and the federal reserve banks.
The joint commission on agricultural
inquiry has for some time been de-
voting itself to an intensive study,
first, of the credit requirements of
the farmer, and. second, of the rela-
tive merits Of different methods of
meeting these requirements. Its re-
ports will, in my judgment, recon-
mend to congress a definite concrete
plan which will embody the most eff
fective of these methods"
