 him and was shot after he had choket Westling nearly to death.

 In his experiences of a year in the White House. he said, there has come to me no other such unwelcomt impress sion as the manifest religious intolerance which exists among many Of our citi- zens.'
 "I hold it to be a menace to the very | liberties we boast and cherish" he as- serted
 Declaring his belief in the part which religious reverence has played in Amer ican achievement, the president added | If I were to utter prayer for thi: republic tonight, 1t would be to re-conse- 1 crate us in religious devotion, and make us abidingly a God-fearing, God-lovlnE 1 people"

Paris March "A (By the A.

The first solution provides for complete internationalization of the straits. the second for Turkish posses sion under allied control and the third for retention of Sculari by the Turks with the allies holding the Constantine pie side.
 As regards Thrace it is reported that the French viewpoint is for returning Adranople and the better part of East ern Thrace to Turkey, while the British contention is for the closest possible ad- herence to the Enos-Media line.
