Weeks Poem
GOD Is LOVE

GOD lS LOVE
By EVA BROWN-HALE
Every sound borne on the breeze !;
Every rustic in the trees;
OF the warblers, every trill;
Every ripple of the rill;
Fen the thunder. loud above;
They all tell me, GOD is love-"
Sunbhrst, heralding the day;
Noontide's brightest, warmest ray;
Every moonbeam, glistening bright
Every star begemming night;
Meningitis shades, DER hill and
grove;
They all tell me, "God is love-"
Summers warmth and winter
cold;
Autumn's brilliant red and gold;
Springtime's soft and balmy air;
Flowers and fragrance everywhere
Storm and sunshine; all but prove
To my soul that God is love.

FRANCE EXPECTS

Premier Laval, However, Says Cabinet Can Do No More, Until Parliament Acts

 Paris, June 25.-(UP)-Andrew Mellon, United States secretary of the treasury. was expected in Paris late this afternoon to take up per sonally the question of President Hoover's war debts plan with the French government.
 Mellon was due from London at $40 p. m. He has been cabled in- take urgent action toward obtaining Frances unreserved acceptance of the Hoover plan for war debts and reparations holiday.
 Appointments for Mellon to meet Aristide Briand, foreign minister; Premier Pierre Laval, and Pierre Etienne Flandin, finance minister, have been made by Walter E. Edge, the American ambassador.
 Premier Laval, however, was un- derstood to have told Edge that il would be impossible for the cabinet to negotiate further until parlla- ment has made its pronouncement on the Hoover program. Meanwhile he said, everything depended on the highly important debate on the plan in the chamber of deputies to- morrow.
 The government will seek ap- proval then of it's reply already sent to Washington. There were indi- cations that approval would be given but that the deputies would forbid violation of the Young plan beyond moratorium on conditional an- nuities from Germany.
 Copies of the French reply to Washington have been dispatched to London and Brussels. The French believe that Belgium's acceptance of Hoover's proposal will be based on reservation similar to that made by France-namely, that the uncon- ditional annuities from Germany be paid, regardless of any other rep arations or war debts holiday.
 Germany, however, 1t was stipu- lated, then could borrow these an- nuities back from the bank for in- ternational settlements-the move merely being, it appears, gesture to maintain the integrity of the Young plan.

MYSTERY DEATH OF GREENWICH
 GIRL UNSOLVED

New York, June 25. (UP)-The mysterious death of beautiful Starr Faithful apparently was no nearer solution to-day than 1t was on the morning of June 8, when the eccen- tric Greenwich Village girls bruised body was found washed ashore at Longbeach, l.. I.
 The letters which Dr G. Jameson Carr, Cunard liner physician and in- innate friend of the dead girl, brought to this country and by which authorities hoped to solve the baffling drowning, have been de- scribed as "extremely different" in handwriting from Starr's other let ters.
 Handwriting experts testified that the letters were written in too even and rounded a script, especially for a person contemplating suicide with in 24 hours. Stanley E. Faithful, step-father of the dead girl, pre- viously had challenged the authen- ticity of the letters and expressed the opinion they were written by a clever forger who was intimate with even the merest details of Starr's life in an attempt to commit the perfect murder"
 The letters, which were made public by District Attorney Elvin N. Edwards, detailed plans to commit suicide and also expressed a mad and undying love" for Carr. Miss Louise Rice,, handwriting expert said the three letters were "easy for forger to write."
 J. V. Haring, another expert, de- clared the handwriting could hardly be that of a person about to commit suicide because it was too regular. The letters, the alignment and the spacing between the words were too regular, he said, and they were too methodically arranged on the pages to exhibit any agitation, such as a person about to die would feel.
 Edwards has not abandoned his theory of murder, despite the letters indicating suicide and said "The case is still open" Assistant Martin w. Littleton, Jr, indicated there still are several clues which point to murder.
 It was learned to-day that the ''break" which Inspector Harold R. King hopes to obtain hinges on the story told by Harry Goldstein, a prisoner being held in the Tombs for Los Angeles authorities. Gold stein told authorities he was chauf- feur for wealthy man who toured France with Starr Faithful and that he saw this same man in New York the day the girl vanished.
 If this evidence proves sufficient promising it was learned the grond jury will not be convened tomorrow as announced, but next Tuesday. Meanwhile, there will be no coro- ner's verdict until the grand jury reaches a decision.
