GIANT ELMS SHADE
 THE BURIAL PLOT
Harding Family Lot Is in
 Marion Cemetery
Hy The Associated Press.

by Ine AbSocidteu FIcSs.
 Marion, O., Aug. 4. VI The spot ir Marion cemetery where President Harding will be buried is one of the most beautiful in the vicinity of the quiet town to which he often times said he hoped to return as an ''or- dinary citizen."
 Situated at almost the exact center of the shady expanse of burial ground the Harding family plot, where the president will resume his place among the kindly folk he knew and loved as neighbors, lies cupped in a tiny valley.
 Two giant elms cast deep shadows over slabs of granite which mark the resting place of the presidents moth CT and his sister, Mary Clarissa, and only a few steps away a gravel road way winds through an archway of foliage fashioned by the interlocking branches of trees.
 To the rear, where the tiny depres- sion levels itself out, stretches quiet vista of gently rolling grassland, dot ted here and there by a gray tomb stone, all deepened into sombre tints by the shade of forest trees-a fitting background for the shrine of dead president.
 The Harding front porch the focal point of the 1920 campaign, today presented a sorrowful contrast to the summer afternoons of three years ago when President Harding, then a can didate, enunciated his policies to thousands of pilgrims. All was quiet around the spacious gray structure and the placid reaches Of Mt. Vernon avenue, seemed even more tranquil than usual. Only a flag at half mast gave indication that the man who left the home he loved, to accept the greatest honor a country may give, was dead.
 Dr. George T. Harding, Jr., the presidents brother, and his father, said today they did not know what plans Mrs. W. G. Harding would make and did not know whether she would return to Marion and make this city her home
 At the Marion Star, news of the presidents death was received with sincere sorrow, for it was here that Mir Harding spent the best years of his life in the profession he most loved.
 One of the men in the editorial de- partment said:
 Destiny alone never reached out for Warren G. Harding. Destiny in his case had an ally in a woman-his wife. Mrs. Harding made her hus- band president. She blazed the way. She had faith in his future. She be- lieved he had the making in him of a great man. She urged him on and on.
 Tt was not mere handful of poli- sticians who nominated him for the presidency It was not even the peo- pie who elected him that really made him president. These were mere bull e!tin board events in life that never became embittered. The background of it all was sweet domestic in- fiuence. the guiding star of Warren G. Harding's destiny. Mrs. Harding

tate, were filed in the supreme court yesterday, when Justice Blur denied an application of Mime. Liobouff Von- siatsky for $50 week alimony and s1,O00 counsel fees pending the trial.
 When the plaintiff arrived here last January from Paris, she, announced that she had come here to fight for her rights as the legal wife of Vonsi- atsky It was said then that she would not only seek to establish the validity of her marriage, but would sue the Ream heiress for $500,000 damages for alienation. No papers have been filed, however. Her suit for divorce on the ground of Vonsi- atskys marriage to Mrs. Stephens was begun several months ago, and the papers were served on Vonsiatsky on June 23. Her application for alimony fees was made several months ago.

made him president. It was her coun- sel and her urge long years before the Chicago convention that made him presidential timber"
 Other employees expressed the af- ton all have felt for Mir. Harding.
 Many persons today recalled the love of MT. Harding for his mother. When at home he frequently sent her flowers and when away from Mar ion always left an order with the l florist to see that she was supplied. His mother has been dead 12 years. She always told her friends that some day Warren will be a presi- dent" but she did not live to see him elevated to the position.
 Money which paid the tuition and expenses of Warren G. Harding dur ing the two years he attended Iberia College, Morrow county near here, was earned by driving team of horses, The Toeldo and Ohio Central was building a railroad near his ,, home and MT. Harding induced his grandfather to loan him one of his teams of horses. Harding drove the team all that summer and earned $160. He was graduated from the college with the degree of Doctor of Arts.
 Came To Marion BarefootetI
 After graduation, MT. Harding came to Marion riding a white mule and barefooted. He took up the study of law in the office of J. A. Wolford, working the insurance business as a side line. But this proved unprofit- able and he forsook the bar to en- gage in the newspaper business, which was more to his liking.
 The first real money" the president seld he ever earned was when he ob- tained the fire insurance on the pres ent Hotel Marion from Amos King who later became his father-in-law. With his sfb0 commission he said he felt himself rich" and the first thing he purchased was slip horn" and joined the Marion Silver Cornet band. This slip horn' is still a possession of the Harding family.
 Mir. Harding had only one love af- fair and that at the age of 25, with the woman who today is his widow.
 To his friends he was always known as 'W. G." but his most inti- mate companions called him Jerry"
 The president was always an ar- dent baseball fan, and up until the time he was nominated for the presir dency liked to wage small bets-al- ways on the Cincinnati Reds. After his nomination when his barber want ed to lay a wager on the game that day. MT. Harding said:
 The president of this American re- public must never bet on anything. The office of president of the United States is too sacred for that sort of thing"

FRENCH POLICY IS

This Is Opinion of Minneapolis
 Traveller

New York, Aug. 4.-"Nothing that England or the United States could do can help Europe avoid a smash unless France changes or Is forced to change her policy" John F. Sinclair of Minneapolis, executive chairman of the World Monetary Association de- clared yesterday upon his arrival by the President Roosevelt from a five months survey of the European fi- nancial and economic situation
 "The curse of intense nationalism is to be seen all through Europe" he said. T visited sixteen countries of Europe, including Russia. The picture of the conditions I have seen can never be erased from my memory. The European economic, financial and industrial machine has broken down" "
 France" he added, lis pursuing a policy which if not checked at the election next spring by the French people will spell absolute ruin and disintegration for all Europe" Wants U. s. to Call Farley.
 MT. Sinclair urged that the United States immediately call a world con- ference on war debts and separations hiu aifiLC SNoiy lntioh oI iIuIopC owing money as a debtor to another nation, including Germany and Rus sa, to attend
 If Europe is allowed to drift into chaos," he said, i've must expect to pay for our folly. It seems to me there is just one wise course open to us and that is to quit our 'watchful waiting and call the conference"
 Carroll L. Beedy, representative from the First district of Maine, who arrived yesterday by the United States lines steamship President Roosevelt. spent a month in Russia, without being steered by soviet agents" His conclusions are that America ought not to recognize the Russian govern ment, as Russia is too much interest ed in a world revolution involving wholesale confiscation of property to be taken into the international fam ily' on equal terms with other na- tions," and that trade relations with Russia should be definitely resumed" Advocates Trade Agreement
 T believe Russia is ready to make fundamental concessions" he said, which will enable us to enter trade agreement mutually beneficial. Both England and italy have seen the light Each has a trade agreement with Rus sia yet neither has recognized the soviet government.
 Russia wants American goods. She has the furs, platinum, flax and va rious other commodities with which to pay. America, having passed through trade depression due to postwar deflation, begins to feel keenly the evil consequences of our diminished foreign trade. I want to see America get foothold in Rus sian trade before other foreign ma tions completely dominate the situa- tion.'
 MT. Reedy bought two wolves in Russia, which his wife named Lenine and Trotzky. They preceded him here and are now at the Geological Garden in Washington.
 H. F. Sinclair, chairman of the board of directors of the Sinclair Con- solidated Oil corporation, who had been in Russia on invitation of the soviet government, returned yesterday by the Cunarder Mauretania deeply impressed, her said, with the activity of the people.
