What the vice president meant was

ton folk. The story goes back to the
days when Calvin Coolidge was a soph-
omore 1T Amherst college. With shoes
to be repaired he sought Lucey's shop
on Gothic street in this city, and then
remained to listen to the cobbler's
homely comments on the topics of the
day.
Helped to Shape Career.
The student found the shoemaker's
philosophy so engaging that during the
remainder Of his college course he
went frequently to see him. AS a
lawyer later young Coolidge opened
offices here, and while he waited for
clients. continued his acquaintance
with the cObbler. Throughout his ca
reer in the politics Of the city and
state, Mr.. Coolidge dropped in at the
shoe shop from time to time to ex.
change ideas with his friend and have
the benefit of the latters pointed p0
litical observations.
The youthful Coolidge took away
lessons from the cobbler counsellor; ;
Coolidge, the candidate, received the
benefit of his influence, which was
considerable in city politics, and when
he rose to a position Of state and
national prominence he still received
the loyal support Of the shoe man.
Mr.. Lucey, mOdestly explaining that
Mr.. Coolidge long since passed out
of his range Of influence, admits that
he may have been Of some help when
the vice president was on the first
rungs of the political ladder.
Cement Closer Friendship.
The cobbler says that the only time
he ever crossed Calvin Coolidge seemed
to make firmer the friendship between
them. Mr.. Coolidge had sought the
election Of a friend as mayor, and
asked Mr.. Lucey as q delegate to the
party caucus to stand in his behalf.
but the cobbler, already bound to the
opposing candidate, refused This
evidenee Of loyalty to a prior al
legianee served to heighten their mu-
tual respect.

NAVAL EXPERT
GIVES HIS VIEWS
BY milton BRoNNER-

PARIS-While statesmen in Eng4
land, Japan and America say that
war between any two Of these coun-
tries is unthinkable, the French arg
discussing the day"
The French imagine "the day A
may be the one on which the Amer
lean fleet goes out to battle the Japs.
or the one on which our tars face
Britains naval might. or the hour
when America faces foes in two
oceans-Japan and Britain.
SO the French are studying just
what they shall do to protect them
selves under such conditions from
Germany bent upon revenge.
Some of the most outspoken views
were uttered in the French Parlia-
ment when the navy budget was be-
ing discussed.
NJ. Landry, former minister Of the
navy, said France had for a long
time been a naval rival Of Britain.
1t was as late as 1905 that she lost
second place. Today she not only
ranked below Britain, America and
Japan, but was not-even chief among
the naval powers of the second rank.
He impressed upon Parliament that
France needed an adequate navy.
Pierre Dupuy. chairman Of the
committee on the navy. in support
/ ing the naval program proposed,
said:
rs it quite sure that Germany dis
armed upon land. will not use all its
care quietly to reconstitute a power
full naval force7
"Our alliance with the strongest
naval powers does not shelter us
from an aggression by Germany in
a case where those powers would be
in conflict with each other.
Would It not be better in this
case 10 be prepared for defense
We ought to maintain our naval
strength and assure ourselves Of a
force always superior to that which
Germany can reconstitute."
Pierre Deloncle. naval expert Of
the Echo de Paris. has just writer
an extensive study Of the naval pre-
parations being made by America
and Japan. He says this Is for thu
mastery Of the Pacific. He ask
whether this can leave France in

Deloncle figures that Americ'
