BY FRANK e. MASON,
International News Service.

PARIS. Aug. 4.-French political
circles today anxiously sought Fin
side information" as to President
Coolidge's attitude towards the
reparations issue and other grave
Europ can problems involving
Frances destiny. Newspapers de-
clared that the new American Presi-
dent is friendly and sympathetic
towards France.
President Coolidge is admittedly an
unknown quantity. He was never
mentioned in connection with Eu-
ropean affairs until his sudden eleva-
ton to the White House.
els President Coolidge sympathetic
towards France or Great Britain in
the present reparations differences?"
was a question continually heard in
political circles.
All Interested.
Members of the American colony
were bombarded with questions re-
garding the new President. Fortu-
nately Jules Jusserand, French am.
bassador to America, is in Paris and
is in position to supply valuable
information.
Premier Poincare has diplomatical-
ly sounded out Secretary of Treasury
Mellon and Myron T. Herrick, Ameri.
can ambassador.
Newspapers stressed the fact that
Coolidge is Of New England an
cestory. One newspaper carried the
explanation:
New England is mistaken by
many as indicating that Mr.. Coolidge
lived in an Anglophile atmosphere.
But New England is only part of
the United Sates-a name"

line placed upon some of the edi-
torials upon the great American
tragedy.
Like his predecessors Mr.. Coolidge
will have at heart Franco-American
friendship which was sealed upon
the battlefield" said Figaro.
The Petit Journal said the new
President is a friend of France. He
has nothing in common with Ger
many"

Mr.. Crandall was a close per

the late President, and I believe
we are cut by his loss more deeply

Tom Moore, president Of another
chain of motion picture theaters,
unhesitatingly declared that his

Warren G. Harding, best Of all

British Press Sees
Coolidge Taking Up
Policies of Harding
By DAVID Nj. CHURCH.
BY International News SerYice.


LONDON, Aug. 4.-British news
papers expressed belief today that
President Coolidge will continue
in effect the foreign policy of the
late President Harding as regards
reparations, war debts and pro-
hibition. It is believed that Mr.
Coolidge will be no more sympa-
thetic towards active participation
in European affairs than his prele-
cessor. However, there is consid-
cradle speculation.
The Chronicle, organ of former
Premier David Lloyd George, pre-
dicted Senator Hiram johnson of
California, would become a storm
center.
President Coolidge undoubtedly
has ability to control affairs If he
has the nerve" said the Chronicle.
The Times called the new Presi-
dent an unknown quantity"
The Morning Post, a Tory news
paper, predicted President Coolidge
would bring a new influence into
world affairs-"that of a stern New
Englan0eI."
According to the view of the
Westminster Gazette, Mr.. Coolidge
is an "isolationist."
The Evening Standard believes
that the chief direction Of American
affairs will be left to Secretary
Hughes.
Newspapers continued today to
pay tribute to the late President.
A typical example was that Of the
Westminster Gazette:
This country had good reason
to appreciate President Harding
On his initiative the great confer
ence at Washington banished 1--WE

The problems of the nation are
to yield, not to conflict, but to
confer; not to force, but to reason.
Something must be done to
lessen the tax burden Of the peo-
pie. The logical step is to reduce

other nations of the world.
It is neither government nor
society that creates conflicts, but
those who defy their rules.
= Neither individuals nor corpora
tons can rely on government
sources for success.
Observing public authority
when it meets with our approval
and disregarding it when we feel
it imposes some hardships on us is
not constitutional government. II
is either despotism or anarchy.
Do not hesitate to be as revo-
lutionary as science. Do not hest
tate to be as reactionary as the
multiplication table.
I believe humanity would well
come the creation Of an interna-
tional association for conference
and a world court whose Verdfcts
this country, in common with all
other nations. would be willing
and able to uphold.
Aliens who are dangerous to
our institutions should be de-

DR.. BULGIN MAKES
PLEA FOR RIGHT
KIND OF PRAYERS
Evangelist Says Communion
With God Reveals True
Life of Man,
BY THE VISITOR

Learn how TO pray right was the
plea of Evangelist E. J. Bulgin at the
Eadle Tabernacle Thursday night
1T means a whole lot tC pray
right" he said. Let me hear a man
pray and I can tell you what kind
&c the life he is leading.
God doesn't require you to put up
r finely worded grammatical prayer,
out he wants you TO put cry in your
prayer. A sinner can pray for only
enc thing. and that is to be forgiven
Of sin. If you want God to hear you,
get right with God. Help sinners to
wire up to Heaven" the evangelist
pleaded before the largest audience
oe the week.
When you fail to be a soul saw
ing Christian you cease to be a Chris
uau.'' he declared. we need today
moi a revival for sinners. They have
rothing to revive but sin. A revival
IS something YOU already have. A 10
Iival IS for church members. When
81 church is saved sinners are saved.
Prayer is not made to change God.
So much Of our prayer that is not an
swered is not prayer. Faith cannot
be unanswered. We need the church
Of God brought back to the fundamen-
tails Of God.
II am not asking you IL you go to
prayer meeting to keep your minister
from getting angry at you I ask
you, DO you 1--we to pray? If you
don't there is a screw loose and you
had better tighten it up. Be right
and you can pray right.
Prayer is not intended to change
the deity. Il breaks the alabaster box
Of your stubborn will and lets the gas
out so that Jesus can get in. When
q tree can live without leaves and a
man can live without breathing, then
Christian can live without prayer"
DR.. Bulgin said.

THE POPE INTERVIEWS.

France has greatly resented the
pope's Intervention into the Ruhr
controversy, when he wrote a letter
in which he proposed that Germany's
ability to pay should be taken as a
basis for rcparations, and suggested
that France might find less "odious"
but no less effective guarantees than
territorial occupations.
The vatican denies the pope's let
ter was prompted by influence from
England or Belgium, although tho"
were such charges in the French
Chamber of Deputies. However, a
somewhat similar letter went to the
paper representative ut Munich, in
which he was commissioned to inter-
vene with the German authorities
for the secession of peaceful re-
sistance" in the Ruhr. Chancellor
Cuno complied, to some extent, by
dcprecating recent acts of sabotage
in the occupied zone.
