 Coolidge's Message
 The communication from President Coolidge is given below:
 II am indeed glad to have an oppor. tunity of joining in this somewhat re. mote way in the dedication of the me- morial church in Chateau Thierry.
 Not only will such structure be a fitting monument to those who gave their lives, but it will be source of peace and comfort to those who in years to come makes sOrrowfuI pill grimage to this spot where so many of our boys made the last sacrifice.
 "I am especially glad that it em- bodies also memorial to those who, as chaplains, played great but incon- spicuous part in the service. It is eminently appropriate that tribute to their quiet bravery should be here enshrined to serve as a reminder that even in the midst of the horrors of war the higher things were not forgotten .''
 The Pershing Note
 General Pershing's message is as fol. lows:
 Please tell my friends in Chateau Thierry that my heart |, is with France now in the colossal task of rebuilding the places made desolate by war as it was in the hours of armed conflict. I feel that I might speak the voice of America when say that nothing can ever break the bond of love and sym pathy between our people which was forced in the fires of our common sacri- flee.
 May this church through the ages be the emblem ill stone and bronze of that undying devotion which lives in the hearts of my countrymen.
 "In your work of reconstruction my highest wish for you is that you may be as brave and strong as were your devoted poilus on the fields of ba$ $le Speedy success will then be yours.''

as the governor of Nebraska, he re- iterates his often-expressed opinion of the industrial and agricultural situa. tions. It is sometimes necessary, he emphasized, for ak government >execu- tive to take over industries or public utilities 'so that the people will get q square deals or to prevent them from being deliberately robbed.
 Tn that manner,''he went on, ''can we stop bolsheyism from getting a hold in this country."i As examples, Mir. Bryan pointed out his work in estab- fishing a municipal coalyard in Lin coin and his efforts to reduce the price of gasoline in Nebraska. Such opera tions of industries must only be tenn porary, he said, to be. dropped when the need for them has passed.
 Brother To Help
 That William Jennings Bryan, his brother, vii ltake an active part in the campaign he was certain, although. he said, the arrangement of such mat ters must await formal notification of the nominees and organization of the national and campaign committees.
 Mir. Bryaa declared that nothing had definitely been done in regard to his candidacy for reelection as governor of Nebraska, the entire matter resting with the democratic state committe, which is expected to take action upon his arrival in Lincoln.

YANKEE VISITORS HEAR AID SERMON AT WESTMINSTER
Nothing Wrong In Adver Using Religion Says
 Bishop Of Durham

LONDON, July 13-(By Associated Press.)-The ethics and uses of adver- tising as subjects of pulpit oratory struck strangely upon the ears of con gregations assembled today for the morning services in both Westminster Abbey and the Westminster Roman Catholic cathedral.
 True the services were devoted to the overseas visitors to the internation- al advertising convention and the con gregations largely consisted of Eng lish-speaking delegates from the United States and the dominions, but that the Bishop of Durham in Westminster Alb bey and Father Knox in the cathedral should have chosen such worldly sub jects as the themes for the sermons, was considered as showing a tremen- dous hold which the convention has all ready established
 The Bishop of Durham dwelt on the enormous influence of advertising on modern life. He said the presence of so many of the delegates of the con- vention in the chuch implied an as sumption that their business had di- rect relation to those sublime verities which the church existed to confirm.
 Father Knox argued there was no reason why the convention's slogan, Truth in Advertising" should come as surprise or that the people should be shocked even by the conventions pro- posal to debate the possibilities of ad- vertising religion. There was, he con- tended, no harm even in advertising a particular kind of religion, so long as the advertisers were sure 1t came up to the sample.
 A luncheon given by the Women S Advertising club of London to the overseas advertising women brought out a great gathering of women. It was addressed among others by the Duchess of Atholl and Viscountess Rhondda.
 Import Watermelon
 The Houston. Tex, delegation to the convention, which came to London 60 strong to obtain the 1925 meeting for their lone star city, began their efforts with a banquet this evening to the Thirty club of London and the leaders of the convention. They served their guests real Texas meal. They in- troduced the British to the watermelon, the fruit from Texas and also to steak, which they brought across the seas with them for the occasion.
 Speakers included Lou Holland, president of the Associated Advertising clubs of the world and the president of the 1924 convention; Robert Cor nell and Oscar Holcombe of Houston and Monsignor J. NJ. Kirwin of Gal weston.

 There is nothing in the history of the world comparable to the way in which the purses, not only of Ameri- can millionaires, but of all classes, have been opened to relieve the suf- ferings of the continent. It will not, 1 am confident, be necessary for us, or anybody else, to ask America to for give Europe its debts. Anyone who understands the psychology of the American people will realize that am not playing with this question.
 If you go to an American and try to convince him that he will make a good investment by doing this or that, he will show himself one of the closest and most suspicious of bargainers. He will test every allegation and investi- gate every proposition with what will seem hard-hearted shrewdness. If, however, you ask him to do something which can never benefit him, but which will, instead mean great expenditure on his part, and great sacrifices, you find him a different man. |
 The true American is not to be won over by an alleged business argument. In such matters he knows well enough that he has little to learn. What at- tracts him is an opportunity to satisfy his instinct of helpfulness. Why or how that instinct has become one of the dominant traits of the American people l do not profess to be able to say. All I know is that the American people and their actions are not in- telligible until one has realized its existence.
 And now comes a crucial point. The ordinary man here will say, what you urge is probably quite sound, but if we are going to make the proposal you suggest to America, we ought not make a condition-that is, that we will forgive Europe its debts to us, but only if America will do the same, and allies and associated powers their debts to her" Any attempt at such bar gaining would be a profound mistake. If America does the right think, she will do it on her own initiative and not under any argumentative or moral com pulsiOn from outside The action con templated would lose all its maganani- mity if America could not say with that competitive altruism, which I, for enc, honestly admire in her, i've are not going to let the British people beat us in a matter of this kind.

CRUSADERS START
 WAR ON TOBACCO

LEIPSIG, Germany. July 13.-(By Associated Press. )-An anti-tobacco movement has been launched here and say the promoters. an anti-strong drink campaign will soon follow.
 The Union of Enemies of Tobacco, in session here recently considered the question of smoking. among German women which, it was contended. was spreading at an alarming rate. Speak CTS estimated that many thousands of girls and women, from 15 to 90 years old. had taken to the cigarette within the last few years.
 It is proposed, by law or otherwise, to make cigarette smoking less popular among the women and after this move has met with success, then to begin on the men users of tobacco.

RADIO PUZZLES
 DICTIONARY MEN
Thousands Of Words Have Been
 Added To Vocabulary

NEW YORK, July 13.-Radio has enriched the English language by at least 5000 terms, according to pr. Frank H. Vizetelly. managing editor of the New Standard Dictionary. He says that radio, like each new science, brings in its wake host of new terms and gives new meanings to old words - Today it is not uncommon to' near persons referring to frequency con troll" variable condensers. "oscilla- . tor-grid current -metres,' and thousands of other terms that have become gen eral in their use, due to the growth and development of radio. A definition of these new terms is indispensable to one who would understand radio, and it is natural to look for this infor- nation in the dictionary
 "You ask me to tell you what radio has added in the coining of words said Dr. Vizetelly. Tt seems to me that some new term is introduced every day. From a general survey of the subject. l should not be surprised to find that the language had been enriched in one way or another by at least 5000 terms.
 How much of all the terminology that has come to my desk is sound and how much is gold brick only time can tell. The terms will have to be stand ardized. At present we have some words that may last for a mouth or five weeks and then die. The language itself will regulate this and usage will simplify many of the terms. Ten years ago the new science was known as wireless Then it occurred to some one to call it radio. which serves equally as well md to the majority of people this new fascinating means of spreading enter, tainment and education has remained radio"
 Lately I have been more concerned about the correct use of propositions and conjunctions than about the ter minology that the radio fan frequent ly finds himself battling with said Dr Vizetelly. Should one tune in ol tune up. Does one listen in,' or jus do what everybody tells them to do bI listen?
 "One of my friends, an eminent He brew scholar, tells me that radio IS b! no means a new word, and the fac that it occurs in the Talmud and il to be found ill a passage in the Moed in the fifth chapter, which treats O the observance of the Day of Atone ment. once more proves that there i' nothing new under the sun. Accordin; to the Hebrew alphabet the letters TUT resh yod, daeth, yod, aleph, which. i transliterated into our alphabet, would read reedeo, because the aleph has twt sounds, as in ah or as in go. Unti within the last year or two none O the Talmudic scholars had given thu term a thought Already we have sev eral rabinical interpretations of it which has been associated with tn, flash of lightning that burnt the sacri fees offered on Mount Carmel whel Elijah bade Kind Ahab to assemble th priests of Baal to determine the tru nr: the fake nrOnhet."

 At the same time Virginia and North Carolina officials began a check to as certain definitely the majors move. ments during his trip from Norfolk to Raleigh, which consumed little more than day. Main highway arteries and by-paths were searched in all di rectiOns without result.
 Raleigh soon became the center of the hunt. Mrs. McLeary, relatives and friends of the family went there from Norfolk to spur the searchers; while the aid of municipal and county off. cials throughout the state was invoked in proclamations issued by Governor Cameron Morrison and the mayor of Raleigh.
 Later, the governor received tele. graphic appeal from Governor Pat M Neff of Texas to prosecute the search vigorously and friends of the family in Texas soon came to offer their assist ance.

 Last Friday a member of the Ral eigh detective bureau asserted that he had seen the officer on a downtown street in Raleigh on July 2 or 8, but neither this nor a report that his au. tomObile had been left in a garage on the night of July and claimed the next day by unidentified men, could be confirmed.

 Want Free View Of Stone
 Scotsmen, through one of their mem. bers in parliament, are kicking because they among others must pay six pence when visiting Westminster Abbey to view the Stone of Scone which forms the seat of the coronation chair. Ac, cOrding to legend this stone was Jacobs pillow at Bethel, and in the year $40 it was taken to Scone in Scotland, from Tara, home of the Irish kings. All the Scottish kings were crowned on il until 1296 when Edward the first of England had it brought to Westminster where all the British sovereigns have since been crowned
 The scotsmen admit that in viewing the stone one gets a lot of history for "sax pence" Nevertheless they want the parliament to prevail upon the Westminster clergy to permit the public to view the Stone of Destiny" for noth ing or send 1t home to Scotland where it belongs. The English argument is that in England the stone is in it proper setting inasmuch as it seems to be fulfilling the old prophecy that where the Stone Scone rests there the Scot .tish rroe -, - r.,'"
