Down South, q few months back,
President Roosevelt was motoring to
Atlanta. Definite arrangements were
made that the 10 cars leaving Warm
Springs should be kept in line. When
the motorcade reached Fort McPher-
son, the Georgia Congressmen and
Atlanta committeeman raised cain
with the presidential secretary to get
their dozen cars up front. They
pointed out they were up for re-
election and they wanted the voters
to see them early in the parade. The
secretary compromised, letting three
congressional cars in up near the
President.
Mr.. Roosevelt gathered legal ad-

grams.

Solicitor Reed were to explain to

explanations ran along about an hour,
getting deeper and deeper. Ulti-

Partisan authorities have good In
side reasons for suspecting that the
popular young Edward does not per-
sonally like the virtual political al
lance into which France has drawn
Great Britain. Also he Is considera-
bly, more friendly toward Germany.
His private slant is that France too
often has used Britain as q political
tool on the continent. It it were left
to him, he would not tie either to
France or Germany, but use the Brit
ish balance of power to keep both
from endangering the peace Of Europe.

King'sentiments ,piH neuer be men
toned officially, but is 30 DeA
known among a tew ht0h-r0nktng

yond question.
Furthermore, Edward is known to
believe that steps should be taken
TO improve relations between the Ger
man and English people. He does
not like Hitter, but does maintain
genuine feeling of friendship for
the German people. That was what
was behind his recent startling sug-
gestion to British veterans that they
invite German veterans to visit them.

France was upset about that. So
were some of the British ministers,
