FROM White House
Wife Of Deceased President Leaves

Washington. Aug. 1s.-Quietly and
almost unnoticed, Mrs. Florence King
Harding last night left the White
House, never to return except possibly
as a guest.
A little before o'clock last eve
ming an automobile drew up to the
north portico. 1t had waited for
more than half an hour when anoth-
err bearing the coat of arms of the
president of the United States, drove
UP and from it stepped Mrs. Coolidge,
the new first lady of the land. She
passed within the mansion and it was
half an hour later and almost dark
before there was another sign of ac-
tivity.
Two secret service men, the one
who has been assigned to Mrs. Hard
ing from the time her late husband
was elected president and the one de-
tailed to attend Mrs. Coolidge, came
out and then in came Major Ora NJ.
Baldinger, the military aide to the
late president, who was selected by
Mrs. Harding for the post because he
had been one of the newsboys when
she had charge of the circulation de-
partment of The Marion Star.
In Mourning.
Dressed in mourning, but without
a veil, Mrs. Harding stepped out, fol-
lowed by Mrs. Coolidge and George
r. Christian Jr., secretary to the late
president. She walked with firm step
to the automobile and was helped in
by Mr.. Christian, who, after assisting
Mrs. Coolidge into the car, stepped
inside himself.
Meantime Miss Laura Harlan, sec
rotary to Mrs. Harding, and Miss
Ruth Powderly, who was Mrs Hard
ing's nurse during her illness year
ago and was nurse to Mr. Harding in
his fatal illness. had taken their places
in the second car. Then the auto
mobiles moved down the grayeled
driveway, out one of the northern
e,,es and out into Pennsylvania ave-
rue.

readiness for them, President and

TO be superstitious but something &C.
CURED last night when he and Mrs.
Coolidge went to the White House to
call on Mrs. Harding that he regard

Europe's New War for Aerial Supremacy Starts
Franco British Building Feud in Earnest
BY Milton Bronner

London, Aug. 1s.--"If you bomb us.
we will bomb you. If you let down on
London rain of hell. killing and
manning our people and destroying
our great capital. we shall do the
same to your Paris"
Put bluntly, starkly, without any
diplomatic or parliamentary soft soap,
that is the real meaning of the various
recent moves of the British govern
ment and of the more or less silky
speeches made by British cabinet min
listers, who protest that in charging
Britain's air arm they haven't the
slightest fear or suspicion of future
trouble with their dear ally, France.
England's first scare came last win
ter when an inquiry in parliament
elected the following:
That France then had 140 squad
rons of nine machine each-l26O in
all. Only about 20 squadrons were
abroad. The rest were on service in
France. Half were bombing squad
rons and the other half fighting and
reconnaissance squadrons.
That England then had 80 squad
rons in all. The nominal strength be-
ing 12 machines to the squadron, but
there were only s71 machines on &C
tive service. OF these. many were in
foreign lands or attached to the navy,
and there weer only five for home de-
tense, of which only one squadron
consisted of bombing planes. In re-
Spouse to agitation on the subject, it
was agreed to increase the air strength
by Is squadrons.
Despite all the mystery stories
printed every once in awhile in Brit
ish newspapers, a man connected with
the British air ministry. told me there
had really been no epoch making dis
coveries in military aviation since the
war. He said the main developments,
both in British and French aviation
were four:
First-Greater speed, longer fight

sell the property, nor will she make
an accounting which the plaintiff
claims she is entitled to. The action
is returnable in the superior court at
Hartford the first Tuesday in Septem-
Der. Constable George A. Stark served
the writ and placed an attachment for
$4,000 on property of the defendant.

SUGGESTED

1t seems probable that the aver
age New England audience would
show a majority in sympathy with
the effort of France in the Ruhr to
enforce claims against Germany. The
Oxford debaters are arguing before
the college audiences in disapproval
of the French occupation, their op-
ponents taking the other side of the
question and the decision respecting
the merits of the argument being
made by the audience. In the de-
bate at Lewiston the audience de-
cided in favor of Bates by a vote of
1885 to 17S. In the debate at Harvard.
Monday night, the Oxonian debaters,
for their skilful pleading, received
174S votes to $50 given to Hazard de-
baters. If Bates does not in this find
source of Congratulation it would
indeed seem strange. 1t may not be
altogether apropos to remark that
the size of the vote does not indicate
an attendance on this brilliant con-
test of wit and wisdom comparable
with that present at the fight be-
tween Dempsey and FirDO.
