G0URAUD RECORD
 SHOWS HER0|SM French General Active in Syria Following World War

Paris, July 19 tPl-The visit of General Henri Gouraud to the United States where he is attending bow division which he commanded during the war, brings back to mind the battle of Khan Meisseloun in July, 1920, when the general, then French high commissioner to Syria defeated the Emir F'eisul and paci- fled Syria for three years
 General Gouraud had been advis- ed that Feisul was advancing south from Palmyra He immediately set forth to the north and within days march of Homs his scouts and planes sighted the enemy.
 Asks Enemies Strength
 How strong are they?" Gouraui asked one of the aviators returning from long scouting flight.
 T should judge about 10000 men and 10000 horses and camels" re- piled the aviator.
 Then the game is even I have 10000 men here. We attack at dawn" Gouraud decided
 By sunset the next day the Arabs and Turks were in full flight toward the north.
 Here is another side to General Gouraud:
 When May Day comes each year and the communists announce, with great gusto their preparations to disturb the peace of Paris. the min ister of the interior and the prefect Of police. fearing the regular police forces will prove inadequate to maintain order, must call upon the army for assistance.
 Ask Gouraud to Help They turn to General Gouraul. ! military governor. and he makes the necessary arrangements. assigning troops to various strategical points Of the city. In active service throughout the war in the thickest of the fighting himself losing his right arm at the Dardanelles, Gouraud is loath to cause French blood to flow and his successive May Days are greater nightmares to him than those of his greatest pitched battles against the enemy during the war.
 Recommends Blanks Put three blank cartridges in your magazine.' he instructed his | officers on the first of May last. | Shoot those three blanks first only l if absolutely necessary and you are attacked Then he hesitated for | a moment and a sad look came into | his face, as he concluded: Then for | Gods sake, don't fire the others, unless someone is killed"

MEXICAN CHURCH
 HARMONY LACKING
Settlement Of Problem Still Causes Difference Of Opinion

Mexico City, July 19 lP1Settle- ment of the church problem in Mex leo does not mean that harmony has been restored in the Mexican family and that the people have set themselves unanimously to the task Of national reconstruction, as had been predicted in some quarters would be the case.
 Opinion Still Divided
 Opinion in the Revolutionary fam lly' is divided today as it was before the church and state brought to an end their three-ye old controversy, and Tn the present instance those who before were the most ardent supporters of the governments poli- cles find themselves on the other side of the fence.
 The majority of the people, being Catholic. is content with the agree ment allowing reopening of the churches. But the minority which prior to the agreement upheld the governments stand and which now finds itself opposed to it. is we'll or ganized group and constitutes strong factor in Mexican life.
 The minority refuses to reconcile itself to the return of the Catholic priests. It holds that the Mexican revolution achieved one of it's great est forward steps by riddlng the country entirely of church assocla- ton and that by allowing the priests to return the government rendered null one of the benefits of the move ment which startd with the over throw of the Porfirio Diaz regime in 1910.
 Many Anti Religious
 It Is well known that many of the most prominent members of this group are strongly anti-religious
 An outstanding leader of the anti church minority is Governor Alberto Tejeda of Vera Cruz. Vera Cruz newspapers published telegram he is reported to have sent to President Portes Gil. protesting against any arrangement which would allow the Catholic clergy to return to the pull pits in Mexico. Similar messages from the Vera Cruz state legislature and various workers and peasants organizations in Vera Cruz also were published.
 Newspapers Censored
 Soon after the church. state agree ment was concluded the government requested the Mexican newspapers not to print anything on the religious subjects and imposed a censorship on incoming and outgoing cables. The censorship on cables was lift cd after having been in force only two days. with no explanation of any kind offered.

FAIRBANKS WANTS
 SEWARD HIGH CAGE
 TEAM COME NORTH

Prof. Bath has for some week
 been contemplating accepting the
 l:.viL ations of Fairbanks basketball
 coaches to bring his charges to tn far north metropolis for games with the crack teams of that city.
 Wien asked about the possibili- ties of making the trip, about two weeks ago Bath said that if the showing of the ponies against Col |]ege and Cordoya warranted it, he would delyc into the financial Complications and see if he could
 induce the Fairbanks organization
 to put up enough kale to cover the expenses. The money matter seems
 70 be the only stumbling block now, as the boys fought the College to an even break, winning one and loos- ing one in the two contests with the varsity, and then showed their superiority over Cordova by sweep ing the three encounters by impre. = sive margins and outplaying the fast Copper City team in all depart n1ents. NoJ only that but the team as whole has shown better en- deavors recently to carry out play ing instructions. Their pass work has improved perceptally and tn
 attempts at long range shooting have been fewer, two things tlls Prof. has been insisting upon, and ohe Gelinoue1 members have promised to he good from now on
 If the trip undertakes. and Sew ard folks hope that it will, the games will be staged about the first week in February. The Fairbanks quintettes are some of the best il, the Territory. The Bathmen may not win but they have the ability and punch to put up some great scraps and can be counted upon to olay the game and play it hard every minute to the finish.
