DOPE Plus XII has added himself
to the number of those who seek
to persuade France to let up on Ger
many, taking the stand that justice,
world peace and the interest of the
creditors can best be served by policy
that will not exhaust the resources
and impair the productiyeness of the
debtor nation.
Premier Poincare has been asserting
that his policy was supported by the
Vatican, but the pontiff, through the
medium of letter to Cardinal Gas
parri, now refutes this claim and takes
the same stand as that of the British
government and Premier Mussolini of
Italy-though the latter has been less
insistent than Downing street.
In his letter the pope suggests that
the amount of German Preparations be
determined BY impartial judges fur
nished with adequate data and with
means to control the Preparations sums.
He continues?
Likewise, if it is just that creditors
should have guarantees proportional in
Importance to their credits and such
as will assure collections from which
vital interests depend, we leave it to
such creditors to consider whether it
is necessary to maintain at all costs
territorial occupation implying heavy
sacrifices Tor both the occupied and
occupying countries. or whether it is
rather preferable to resort, even
though more gradually, to more proper
and less odious guarantees.
"Once both parties accepted such
peaceful terms and ended their bitter
ness and territorial occupations, it
would be possible to reach that sincere
pacification and peace which is indis-
pensable for economic reconstruction
and Is ardently desired by all.
"This pacification and reconstruction
is such great blessing for all nations
as to, justify any grave sacrifice"
Premier Theunis of Belgium, whose
cabinet resigned ON local issue, has
not been able to form new ministry
and the Franco-Belgian solidarity on
questions concerning Germany is grow
ing weaker daily. In effect, Poincare
is being isolated and his position is
becoming more and more difficult. The
French budget is demoralized because
in 1t immense sums are listed as recov-
cradle from Germany, and the frame is
falling in value.
Maybe the economic experts who
condemn the course of the French in
the Ruhr have the best of the argu-
ment. but ii seems to some of us that
when they assert that the Industrial
Generalization of Germany means the
ruin of Europe, if not of the entire
world, they are overlooking what the
economic ruin of France means. The
French simply must obtain from Ger
many the greater part of what they
claim, and this greater part Germany
has shown no intention Of paying un-
der any conditions

ONE cannot help thinking that at
~ Lausanne also justice is not be-
ing done TO the French financially.
The British and Greeks there are turn
ing against the French demand that
the Turks pay their bonds on gold
franc basis, which is three times more
valuable than the paper franc. The
English call this unreasonable" but
the French reply that the pound ster-
ling is nearly normal. so the English
bondholders will be paid almost on a
gold basis. France is now willing to
leave this matter out of the peace
treaty with Turkey and to settle it
later by negotiations. The Turks are
insistent that the bonds be paid at the
present rates of exchange and their
delegates at Lausanne have been in
Structed to quit the conference if the
allies do not yield.
In order to test Russia's willingness
to "come back into Europe" the allies
decided to invite the soviet govern
ment to sign the Turkish straits con-
vention when the treaty is completed.
The representatives Of England and
Turkey settled the controversy over
the Mosul region by accepting the
boundaries of British influence in
MesOpotamia as agreed upon by Lord
Curzon and lsmet Pasha. Any further
disputes concerning Mosul which may
remain unsettled nine months after
the signing of the treaty will be re-
ferred to the council of the League of
Nations, though the Turks preferred
that they should be submitted to the
Hague tribunal.

DRESIDENT HARDING has repeat
eddy disclaimed that his speeches
on his trip through the West and to
Alaska are designed as campaign mate
rial, but 1t is probable that the gist of
most of them will be found in the next
Republican national platform. After
his address on American membership
in the world court, in which he sug-
gested divorcing the court from the
League of Nations by making it prac-
tically self-perpetuating, he told the
farmers of Kansas what the national
government has done to rescue Amer
lean agriculture from the depression
that came with deflation in 1920. Incl
dentally he shocked some wheat and
operated a binder. In Kansas City he
insisted on compulsory consolidation
of the railway systems as a solution
of transportation problems. Sundays
address at Colorado Springs was in the
nature of sermon, urging the Golden
Rule as panacea for the ills of the
world In Denver and Wyoming the
President made two most important
announcements. First he declared alb
solutely for enforcement of the Vol
stead act, by each and every state as
well as by the federal government. He
denounced the action of the "new null
lificationists" who have repealed or
tried to repeal the prohibition enforce
ment acts Of various states, referring
especially to New York and Governor
Smith. OF this he said:
Instead of being an assertion of
state rights, it is an abandonment of
them; it is an abdication; it amounts
doesn't choose to govern itself, but
prefers to turn the task, or a consider
able part of 1t, over to the federal
authority. There could be no more
complete negation OF state rights"
And this was his warning to the
"nulliticationists" IF the, burden of
enforcement shall continue to be in
creasingly thrown upon the federal
government, it will be necessary. at
large expense, to create federal po-
lice authority which in time will in
evitably come to be regarded as an
intrusion upon and interference with
the right of local authority to manage
local concerns. The possibilities of
disaster in such n situation hardly
need to be suggested" He said fur
Their that they Twill discover that they

prove one of the historic blunders in

gust 1.-THE Armys well mounted
team defeated Bryn Mawr in one OF
the crucial games in the twelve goal
championship yesterday, to 2. The
Philadelbhians finished strong in the
last half OF the match. The big rally
of the Philadelphians was staged by
Hubert, who was playing at back,
and in the course OF a melee in front
Of the Army goal his pony broke leg
and had to be shot. None Of the play
ers We're hurt.
Bryn Mawr attacked in the first
period. carrying the fight into Army
territory. but il was not long before
the Army got going. Maj. Allen
staged the first soldier attack and
Donaldson whipped the ball over the
goal line. Jadwin and Donaldson put
together a neat sequence of strokes
that accounted for another goal. Just
moment later the same combination
accounted for another tally.
The Army team went up to the at
tack in the second period and Lieut.
JadW1n WAS the spearhead of that
performance. Hitting neatly on both
sides OF his mount he worked out a
pretty combination with Donaldson,
the latter eventually feeding up to
Jadwin for score made off the fore
hand
In the third period Maj. Allen. his
team working into the long formation
and giving him clean alley, pressed
the play for the soldiers and piled
up the score with Il forehand stroke
Bryn Mawr bucked up in the fourth
period and Leonard led prettily de-
vised attack. He. in common with the
other Philadelphia players, however
cut the strokes to the right. There
were plenty of opportunities, save
when the Army defense frightened UP,
but the Philadelphians were none too
accurate with the mallet.
