KANSAS CITY, (By NEA service)
Bravery Is its own reward, it is
true. But 1t has other rewards for
Russell Dennis, Boy Scout. When
President Harding reached here the
other day enroute to Alaska, he pre-
scented several heroism medals to
scouts, among them Russell.
In March, 1919, young Dennis saw
fire fash up and envelope Margaret
Clark, a little girl who lived nearby.
She had been playing with matches.
Having nothing to throw about her
he put out the blaze with his bare
hands. He suffered severe burns.
The girl died three days later, but
the scout was no less a hero. He
had done all he could.

suddenness distress of uncommon
depth and darkness has broken upon

the psalmist's cry: Thy waves and
Thy pillows are gone over me. Out
of the midst of the storm may there
come to us, each and all, the voice
of our divine Helper. who walks in
triumph upon the waves: Peace,
be still; when thou passest through
the waters, I will be with thee. and

BRITISH EFFORTS VAIN.
Unable to Coordinate Views in
New Conference With French.
BY HAL O'FLAHERTY.

BY Cable to The Star and Chicago Daily News.
Copyright, 1923.
LONDON, August S.-When the Brit
ish cabinet ministers reassembled today
after brief bank holiday they re-
ceived reports on strenuous efforts made
along unexplored avenues which, it had
been hoped, would lead to cooperation
between Great Britain and France. Both
Lord Robert Cecil and the Earl Of
Derby, who had been comforting with
French POLITICAL leaders, reported that
they We're unable to coordinate the
views of the two governments.
Unofficially two plans of action have
been proposed by j. NJ. Keynes and
'Wickham Steed, the former suggesting
that Britain remit allied debts and
defer reparations payments and the lat
ter proposing that Britain call upon
Germany to cease passive resistance In
the Ruhr without making ii condition
al upon. the retirement of the French.
Both suggestions appear equally dis
tasteful to France.
Limit of Concessions.
Thus the British ministers seem to
have reached their limit of conces-
sionS to the French viewpoint. The
writer finds in official circles a grow
ing belief in the futility of further
pursuit of an interallied agreement
reached wholly through British sac
rificeS
1t is true that several cabinet mem
bers, such as Cecil and Derby, pas
sionately desire further exhaustive
efforts toward allied amity, but the
majority of the ministers have given
up hope, and now want a public
declaration that Great Britain con-
siders the task hopeless and sees no
other course than to withdraw into
her old isolated position adopted
after the Napoleonic wars, without
renouncing any of her war claims
either upon Germany or her allies
and without breaking relations with
France.

indicated court action would be taken
to recover these funds.
Mr.. Hayward again refused to make
public the confessions which he an

spirited away from Fort Jay, Govern
