Bust of Harding Unveiled In Memorial of William
 Mckinley
i.r Associntcd Presn

Miles O.. June 1S.-The nations President and martyred President, both Ohio native sons, Warren G.. Harding and William Mckinley, were showcred with equal praise here to- day at the unveilng of bronze bust of the former in the memorial of the latter.
 While Vice President Coolidge, Secretary of Labor Davis Governor Davis of Ohio and Congressman John c. Cooper of Youngstown extolled the lives of the living and the dead Presidents from the shadows of the white marble building, the gigantic statue of the martyr gazed solemnly and majestically on the throng that gathered in the sweltering sun to pay homage.
 purpose, ambitions, achievements and lives of the two were themes in the addresses of the speakers on which they dwelt at length.
 Mckinley set before the country not only an example of political wis dom, declared the Secretary of Labor
 "He gave it an example of moral fire. He touched the fainting moral strength of the people, he put the fire of his own will to theirs, and u ey laughed at their foolish fears and went forward again with new vim. and prospered as never before
 Now again we have before us a leader with the pure faith, the same high confidence in the strength ana purpose of our people. Already the hopeful. helpful, reassuring words ol President Harding, reflected back on the national faith that elected him. have had a quickening effect. Tn ms few short weeks in office President Harding has shown the good Will of Mckinley, the patience and TOT bearance of Lincoln and the drive or Roosevelt"
 At the conclusion of the wee Presidents address, Mrs. J. D. Wad- dell, wife of the president Of the Niles Chamber of Commerce, which made arrangements for the cere- monies, pulled the cord which un- furuled the large flag which up to this time had covered the Harding bust.

Paris, June Exchanges that the French government usually suffered a loss in it's business ventures were made in recent debates in Parlis- ment.

 Twenty thousand employees of ths posts. telegraphs and telephones, ac- cording to a Senate commissions re- port, were ordered discharged after the war, at the insistent suggestion of Parliament, in order to give their old places to war veterans.
