news Of the world for the
seven days ended June 13:
I y X
| United States of America.-That
was an exceedingly happy speech
| that the President made on June at
| the Minnesota State fair grounds for
the centennial celebration of the first
| organized emigration from Norway to
| the United States. On July 4. 1925,
the sloop Restaurationen, As tons (the
| Mayfiower was of 1870 tons), sailed
from Norway for New York, where
she arrived ID weeks later. About
| million Norwegians have since emf
grated to this country.
The Macmillan Arctic expedition
sails from Wiscasset, Me, this week
Unfortunately, unless there is news
of Amundsen before the expedition
reaches its base at Etah, Greenland,
the grand aims of the expedition must
be subordinated to search for Amund-
Isen. OF these grand aims notice here
latter
The trial of John T. Scopes, high
lschool teacher Of Dayton, Tenn,
charged with violating a Tennessee
State law which forbids the teaching
of evolution in public schools or col
leges of that State, will begin on July
10 at Dayton. Mr.. Scopes will have
Ieminent counsel. gratis, including
lClarence Darrow and Bainbridge Colby.
All the world and his wife will be
there, painting to hear the verdict
which should end the controversy
which has vexed humanity SO long.
But Mr.. Bernard Shaw and Prof.
Henry Fairfield Osborn had best stay
away. Mr.. Shaw has been saying
some perfectly awful things about
Mr.. Bryan. and Prof. Osborn declares
that it isn't Mr.. Scopes, but Mr..
Bryan. who is facing trial.
| Thirteen daylight bank robberies in
Indiana within a few weeks; it is not
surprising that the Indiana bankers
lare irritated. Convening at Indianapo
oils on the 18th, they planned vigi
lante committees, the members to be
paid by the bankers and to be sworn
in as deputy sheriffs. One had been
led to believe that the millennium had
arrived in Indiana, and one is grieved
to be disillusioned.
1t is estimated that more than a
quarter of a million persons slept in
the New York city parks each night
Of the hot spell. Their behavior was
perfect; no arrests and no damage.
All Springfield, Mass, turned out
on June to welcome home Howard
Dutch) Robbins, aged 13, flushed
with victory in the third annual
national Notwithstanding tournament
at Atlantic City. Among the func
tions in honor Of the hero were ar
official reception by the mayor and
city council; a daylight parade and a
torchlight parade. Moreover, FUND
is being raised to send Dutch to
college. Springfield did well. 1t does
not appear from the annals of Spring
. field that any other son has brought
her kudos in comparable sort. There
is Samuel Bowles, to be sure, but
, | what is eminence in journalism tC
pre-eminence at marbles?
One of Dutch's most redoubable
antagonists was Miss Marie Lawley
whose magnificent bearing in the
fray went far to justify the nineteenth
, | amendment.
France.-M. Caillaux is proceeding
discreetly with his plans for the fsca
and financial rehabilitation of France
The finance committee of the Cham
ber has fully approved his budge
proposals., including his bill which
calls for taxation to the tune O
500, 900, 900 francs, in addition II
the taxation provided for in NJ
Clementel's budget for the fiscal year
1925, so as really and truly to balance
the budget "and no mistake this
time. Much against the grain, the
Socialists of the Chamber have beer
brought by NJ. CaillauX to accept the
Senate's drastic loppings Of items in
NJ. Clementel's budget, which con
templated expenditures for socia
amelioration Caillaux insists that
every budgetary item of expenditure
shall be covered by taxation, with
some margin for error or emergencies
He made bold Though no friend OF
Britain) to cite British budgetary
methods as exemplary. He declared
lin contradiction to rumors alleging
that he intended to ask for very
. large note increase) that he was
earnestly studying how to avoid any
increase whatever of note circulation

The Moroccan War; stated {
fortnight ago the basis of apparently
trustworthy dispatches that the
French had withdrawn from all theil
fixed positions of the Wergha River
except two strong forts. The dis
patches erred. The business of with
drawing the blockhouse detachments
and simultaneously destroying the
: blockhouses and any connected work:
which might be useful to the enemy
has been going on during the pas
two weeks. Apparently it is now com
pleted or nearing completion. 1t ha:
been nasty work, the enemy attacking
vigorously, even capturing and tenn
, porarily holding some blockhouses ant
harassing the retreating columns
Though severely punished in every
encounter, the brave tribesmen keel
high stomach. All the French arm:
have been served superbly, the air
men in particular doing yeoman 'serv
. ice; but the defensive role imposed by
political considerations is better, eX
. hausting and entirely inconclusive.
Premier Painleve has gone to Moroc
co (partly by airplane) to confer will
Marshal Lyautey. 1t is understood
that Add d-el-Krim has repulsed over
lures looking to negotiation. Marsha
! Lvautey has asked for $50 more air
.. planes.
Germany.-The world was consider
ably excited the other day by the
announcement that the most i'm
portant Berlin banks had pooled {
, credit of 40,000,000 gold marks fol
, the SHINES interest. 1t is reason
able inference that the banks per-
, formed this service in the fear tha'
crash of that monstrous combine
embracing every sort of investmen
under the sun, would Vreak wide
! spread disaster. One hears that th'
SHINES peopie propose 20 deflate witt

: edge holdings. No doubt with the as
sistance vouchsafed they can do thi:
without disastrous losses. Consider
