rest as he has lived during the last
three years-as a private citizen.
Announcement to this effect was
made by Rear Admiral Cary 7. Gray
son, his physician and close personal
friend, after consultation with mem
bers of the family.

al, such as many proposed immediate
Nv after his death Sunday. 1t is un-
derstood plans for private services
were in accordance with the wishes OF
the former President.
Services were held privately at the
residence at $50 P. M, Wednesday.

was attended only by members Of the
family and intimate friends, the body
of the former President was taken to

Mathematical Masterpiece
 The one-haf piece bathing suit is a mathematical masterpiece along the lines of subtraction, presenting, as it does, the solution of an old problem, to wit: How can the irreiucible min imurn be cut in half7'6 .syt As displayed on one extremely real istic young blonde in, the fashion parade at the Commodore, the costume begins about here and runs brief, shriekins course to about here. veering of thence in a generally southwestefly. direction to somewhere in the region of here.

REPORTED ADVERSE
 TO FRENCH POLICY.
Macdonald Quoted As Con.
 demning Ruhr Occupation.

PARIS, Jan. 21.-Britain's labor government intends to propose that both Germany and Russia be. immedi- ately invited to join the League of Ma | tions without any special conditlons, according to remarkable interview ascribed to Premier Ramsay MacDon- ald by the Paris 'Quotidien.
 The British premier is quoted as con demning the Ruhr occupation and the French policy of giving armament and | loans to small Balkan and mid Euro pean powers. and as saying that Britain would probably support the ex- perts committees now studying Ger | man finances if the committees de ma nded a wider scope of activity. tae
 Frankly, France irritates our peo- pie, who sincerely wonder whether they will not have to face the necessity of making military preparatiOns, too, and making new alliances" MacDon- aid is quoted as saying to the Quo | tidien.
 Editors Note: It is not made clear just when this interview was obtained, whether it was given before or after Macdonald became premier. or where it was given to the Quotidien. What Great Britain reproaches | France with especially is the occupa- tion of the Ruhr. which we think is the main cause of the present British eco homie distress" Macdonald continues. | >"Furthermore. France has not enough consideration for the higher in terests of Europe, and no consideration whatsoever for British interests in par ticular.'
 These statements do not make pleas ant reading for Frenchmen, but Mac Donald seems to have touched a still sorer spot when he discussed loans to 1 the little entente. ss
 Against Loans To Small Powers | "The moral and financial encourage ment that France gives to the arming of certain small nations tends to make another war inetitable," he declared. | Macdonald then goes on to say that he believes frank and sympathetic ex- plantations" would dissipate the mis- understandings between the two coun- tries. t<
 He was not particularly enthusiastic however. over the work of the commit. tees now conducting investiga tions into German finances.
 Il do not think that the experts will find satisfactory solutions within the narrow limits of their field of action,' he said. but we may expect results from their efforts
 If the committees demand a wider scope. we shall probably support them In case of divergence of opinion be- tween England and France on this question, we shall negotiate with the French government
 The statement is not definite, but ob- servers here point out that it might be construed as meaning that the British labor government will be prepared to support recommends tion by the ex- perts for reducing the amount of Ger man separations.
 We should immediately inaugurate an international policy of good sense and good faith which will make gen. eral disarmament possible" Macdonald urged. adding, We should first get rid Eef the prejudices and slyness of the old diplomacy"
