Coolidge Is Some

The ofzice is small with two desks. Coolidge sits in corner in an oldxfashibned golden oak chair apparently there in his early law days. He leans back, puts one foot on the desk, strikes an old fash toned wooden match on the sole of his shoe and lights his cigar de- liberately. He still uses the white paper cigar holders, the only wis., ible relic of his White House days.
 There is a small faded picture of Lincoln on the wall, yellowed facsimile of the Declaration of In- dependence, and a case of old law books.
 Coolidge had just received sad news. Edward J. Blanchard, his neighbor in Plymouth, and boy hood playmate, had died. He de- cided at once to attend the funeral. l Coolidge spent several weeks on his farm recently. He worked on the fences and barns, and tramped the woods hunting. He reduced his
 waistline. and looked to be in the
 best of health.
 There appear to be no more gray hairs than when he was president. Business was not pressing and he was in a mood to hear about events in Washington, old friends and new buildings, as former resident who had moved away, not

 Political terrorism, which the president contended was a threat to the established order, prompted the government. to bring Q long period of internal strife to a head by establishing a quesi-military system to stamp out revolutionary violence.
 The military tribunals will begin trials of accused terrorists next week, when the efficiency of the system and the public reaction may be definitely determined.
 There have been many acts Of violence, including murders and and shootings, throughout the towns of Ireland in the last few months. Terrorists have intimidat- ed witnesses. Public officials have found 1t difficult or impossible to prosecute, because, of the political nature of the crimes.
 Republican extremists, commun- ists and other factions have been accused of responsibility for the disorders. The developments have sharpened the political duel be- tween Cosgrave-upholding the present. constitute-and the fiery Ramon de Valera, who has fought for years to free the nation from all ties with England.
 Recently De Valera has modified his methods of attack. but he has lost none of the qualities of per sonal leadership which made hmi an outstanding figure in the bloody days of civil war in Ireland. Al though officially disapproving oi methods of some republican ex- tremeists De Valera has kept uI a steady attack on the government in parliament and recently declared that his Fianna Fail prty wil come into power next yer to wipe out the last hold of the British crown on Ireland.
