ALLIANCE seen
IN NAVAL PACT
French and British
Jingoes Hail 1t

PARIS. August. 5.-The Franco
British naval pact, although still
kept secret, has aroused the Pari-
sien capitalist press to hailing it as
further political and military
bond between the two governments.
Enough has been related from Of
ficial and semi-official sources to
reassure the militarists and conserv-
ative opinion that technically nothing
had been done to hinder the growth
of the French navy and that un-
limited development of the French
land forces will not be interfered
with.
That the conservative forces are
frankly very pleased over the pact
of mutual development is shown by
editorials in lie Temps" and the
statement of well-known conserv-
ative political writer who said:
Haven't the Germans frequently
said we were soldiers of England?
The English have become to some
extent our sailors. The interests
of England and France are compile
mentary."
Hailed as War Agreement.
LONDON, August 5.-The British
press comment on the naval pact
between the English and French
Governments. whether they be favor
able or unfavorable, agree in their
opinion that the pact represents a
virtual alliance for the benefit of
both powers.
1t is pointed out in many papers
that the new pact is analogous in
many ways to the old allianceeof 1906
which prepared the way for the
landing of British troops on French
soil if France were attacked.
The Manchester Guardian, lib
eral paper, suggests that besides
the actual pact itself certain agree
ments have been entered into be-
tween the two naval and military
departments to provide for a pooling
of the two navies in time of war.
The conservative paper, The Satur-
day Review, looks with disfavor
upon the freedom given the French
military authorities to strengthen
their land forces.

Of the Harding school, was the
speaker of the evening at the meet
ing Of the Present Day Club. held
at the home of DR.. and Mrs. Edwin
O. Carter on Sandalwood Drive last

interesting talk on new educational
developments in the public schools
That the new education strives
TO develop the special abilities Of
the child, and to take into consider
alton in the junior high school, and
even to some degree in the primary
grades, the general type of mind Of
each child was explained by Mrs.
Reid. As an example of this, Mrs.
Reid referred to the Los Angeles
public schools, where in junior high
school an attempt is made to divide
the children whose occupations will
probably be brain work from those
who wish to enter industrial fields
Science has found many improved
methods of education, and adults
should try to avoid criticising the
new departures which are different
from those used when they were in
school, Mrs. Reid declared.
Many other interesting points
were explained by the speaker, in
Guiding the differences which have
arisen in generation or two from
the compulsory school attendance
laws which put all the children Of
all the people in school, as compared
with only those of the middle and
wealthy class of earlier days.
Mrs. Reid S talk was enthusias-
tically received.

He said he had no fear of Cuyler's temperament. or what l ever it was that caused all the rum pus while 'Kiki" polished the bench at Pittsburgh during the 1927 world 1 series.
 Cuyler said he was delighted to be taken up by the Cubs. and his ac-
 auisition gave the team six heavy

 being the others.
 To strengthen the pitching corps
 where the strain of the pennant
 chase really caused the beginning or
