SAN FRANCISCO. Calf. August Is.
From the Canadian boundary lines

about $50 persons-men who have re-
placed striking shopmen, guards en-
ployed to protect the railroad prop
erty, and the wives and children of
some of both classes-were virtual
prisoners in railroad inclosure, pick

LONDON, August 15.-The delegates
to the unsuccessful allied conference on
German reparations left London today.
Premier Lloyd George was represent
ed in the large gathering which said
farewell at the station to the French
and Italian delegations by his private
secretary. Sir Edward Grigg. and For
eign Secretary Curzon by Sir William
Tyrreli. Others present included Sir
Robert Horne. chancellor of the exche-
quer, and the French and Italian am
bassadors.
All were in good spirits except Pre-
mier Poincare. who was pale and un-
smiling. and who refused even to pose
for photograph. Before going to the
station the French premier, accom-
panied by his staff. visited the grave Of
the unknown warrior, on which he
placed a wreath Of flowers, bound with
the French tricolor. -
/ Debt Question Paramount.
The italian foreign minister, Schan-
Ger, took occasion before the ad-
journment of the conference yester-
day to make a declaration respecting
the Importance with which the Ital-
ian government looked upon the
question of the interallied debt He
said Europe would never be paci-
fed, confidence reborn, ,~her peoples
and her economic life restored to
normal until the question of inter-
allied debts was settled.
Europe was unable to rise to what
might have been great opportunity
to put her feet on the road to re-
covery. This IL the consensus of the
press comment regarding the failure
Of the London conference. But as to
who was responsible for the failure
depends upon whether one accepts
the French or British viewpoint.

DID NOT INDICATE PRESIDENTIAL
 AMBITION

Mrs. Rhodes does not believe the
 secret of Warren Harding's success en- tircly originated in and with him. He
 did not show any special tendency to
 religion or spirituality in school, Mrs. Rhodes said, but his mother was very religious, although of different creed than that of President Harding. As a pupil in her school for two years,
 at formative period in his life, ti!e boy Harding didn't indicate in any way an ambition to become President nor did he show more than casual
 interest in political subjects. His po- litical ambition, Mrs. Rhodes believes,
 was fired by Mrs. Harding, who sansed her husbands quality and possibili- ties. 4.-.

HER GRANDFATHER WAS IT.. PIONEER TEACHER

Louisa Copes grandfather taught school in the rear of his shop in Lan- caster County, Pennsylvania, in the pioneer days; she won local fame as a teacher forty-five years ago in Mar ion County, Ohio, and her daughter, Mis- Iscah Rhodes, has been teacn- CT in the Cleveland Heights grade school six years, which is the span since Mrs. Rhodes moved here from Marion. The daughter was class mate at Marion of George B. Christian, President Harding's private secretary and D. R. Crissinger, comptroller ol the treasury, appointed by President Harding. was also one of Louisa Cope s pupils at Caledonia.
 Mrs. Rhodes husband, John Il, Rhodes, now deceased, was mayor of Nevada, Ohio, when Brigadier-Gen- real c. E. Sawyer graduated from a medical college in Cleveland and was welcomed to his home in Nevada With more than ordinary ceremony.
 Is it any wonder, then, that Louisa Cope Rhodes has beautiful portrait of Warren Harding hanging in con- spicuous place in her cosy apartment home i'll this city?

Teacher Paints Boyhood Picture of President Harding,
 Nicknamed "Granddaddv'

The latent energy that was finally stirred in Warren Harding he got from his father, Mrs. Rhodes believes "a father who even at an advanced age gets on the newspaper screen quite often on his account. It was from his father, also, Mrs. Rhodes says, that Warren got his inherent love for newspaper work The father Dr. Harding, was in early life a ire quent contributor to the Caledonia and Morrow county newspapers. H' AS Mrs. Rhodes told her interest ing story one got the impression that the two school years Warren Hard ing spent under the tutelage of this woman of pronounced views and high ideals must also have been an inspir' ation to the boy.
 PART OF NOTE TO PRESIDENT IS
 COPIED
 Mrs. Rhodes permitted the report CT to copy portion of a postscript she wrote to President Harding in January, 1921, several months after he had been elected This was the first letter or communication of any kind Mrs. Rhodes sent to the President, because she refrained from joining the mad rush of near friends and ac- quaintances to overwhelm the Presi- dent-elect with congratulatory epistles that were in many instances actuated by selfish motives. This postscript was added to letter written by a friend of the President and former girl pupil of Mrs. Rhodes, who was making a good record as foreign rep resentative of the government and was seeking promotion. It was to help her that Mrs. Rhodes wrote to the President. The portion of the postscript which has never been pub lished heretofore illustrates the moth, erly qualities of the Presidents form CT teacher, anu lHIO"S d h6hI U" "Warren's liking for fresh baked ap' pie pie. It reads thus:
 Now. Warren; few lines from your old teacher. I shall now read the capitals news more closely than ever. I shall watch and pray for you. You know there Is no one whose congratu- lations are more sincere, whose faith in you is more intense. Time without number have I wished that your moth CT could have lived to witness this day. Often I recall years ago meet ing her on Greenwood street, one Sun day morning, having taken fresh baked apple pie over to her dear boy, for he is so fond of them.
 Warren, never do anything your mother could not approve of. Then the people of our U. s. will love you and hold you in as high esteem at the close of your term as they do to- day. God be with you.
