Today The President’s Condi tion. Food a Danger. One Million Young Men. God Owns This Land. ^ »y ARTHUR BRISBANE J The president’s serious illness, which, happily, presents at this writing no serious danger, is the one topic that interests the nation. In the universal sympathy and af fectionate solicitude, there must be comfort and sustaining power for President Harding and his devoted wife. Such illness as now prostrates the president threatens every man past 60 who lets devotion to duty drive him beyond his normal pow ers. A physique, nervously ex hausted, offers little resistance to attack, and constant change of diet, with good natured accept ance of unusual foods adds to the danger. The indications of pneumonia are such as often follow a violent attack of indigestion, lowering vitality, and facilitating the work of the pneumonia bacillu's. For tunately, the president’s powerful constitution is exceptional and will undoubtedly protect him against the double attack. Many European physicians would be disturbed by the state ment in the doctors’ bulletin: “Nourishment is being taken regularly.” It is, of course, nourishment of the lightest possible kind, most easily assimilated. But it is not easy for the system simultaneously to eliminate poisons and assimilate food. The president, without loss of strength, could do with nothing but water, in abundance, for a week, if necessary, while concen trating all organic energy on get ting rid of poison. The doctors locate the poison effects, at present, in the gall blad der. About that mysterious organ medical science knows little, but the work that it does certainly is important in the digestive process and a complete rest from all digestive effort, for a few days, would be recommended by many doctors. This writer can testify to the details ef one severe case of gall bladder trouble, in which able doc- ' tors insisted on regular feeding, to be followed by an operation, as soon as the patient could stand it. The patient declined food for 10 days, when, temperature, pulse and respiration having returned to normal, there was no further trouble and no operation, but a permanent cure, thanks to no food. Doctors often give food, against their own judgment, for fear of alarming relatives, ignorant of the danger of food given at the wrong time, when all internal strength is needed to fight illness. It will be recalled that aome of Europe’s most famous physicians protested earnestly against the an nouncement that Caruso, suffering from internal poisoning, was "eat ing well.” Nature, oldest physi cian, warns all sick animals, by in stinct, against food. Canada proposes to bring over 1,000,000 young men from Eng land, boys about 18 years of age. They will be taken in at the rate of 200,000 to 800,000 a year. And Canada, wise land, will supply money to help bring them over. Meanwhile, this highly intelli gent country shuta out in its self satisfied ignorance the very pick of Europe’s ambitious, energetic population that would gladly come here to build up the nation and in cidentally bring mouths to eat the surplus wheat. The Fiery Cross, Ku Klux Klan newapapsr, prints a “klan creed.” It aeys among other things, “ I am a nativa born American citizen, and I believe my rights in this country are superior to those of foreigners.” That will interest the red Indians, but what about the right of God Almighty? Ho made this country, and sent Christopher Columbua, a foreigner by the way, to discover it. The rights of the Lord presumably ara paramount. All creatures on earth ara His children. Suppose He aends them here in future, as He has in the past, to use the unused land, what than? Steel stocks are feeble, the change from the 12 to the eight hour day frightens speculators. That change wouldn’t mean enough to make any real difference. More important is the closing down of 30 blast furnaces in the Pittsburgh district. Whatever else you do, don’t gamble. There ia something for wheat farmers to think over. For the first time in many years France will import no wheat One dollar wheat seems cheap to us. It used to be 6 frane wheat in France. Now it costs 17 franca there. The weakness of European money pre vents buying here. Let no farmer persuade himself that any world eourt or league of nations will •haags that. (Ooaxrlshl Kill I Law Officers Being Rushed - to Tempe, Ariz. Belligerent Depositor* De mand Explanation of Closing of Institution and Burn ing of Bank Records. By Aanwltlrd Press.

She was arrested by Motorcycle Offi cer Sheehan at Thirtieth and Far nam streets. "How fast were you going?” she was asked. "Not very fast—but fast enough to get in.” She experienced difficulty tn locat ing her father, and the toe which tapped the boards behind the foot lights on the Great White Way beat a tattoo of impatience on the cement floor of the prisoners’ enclosure be fore the desk sergeant's window over the unavoidable delay. She declined assistance from any other quarter and announced her de termination to stay In Jail until her fnther appeared to ball her out. An unidentified girl, a brunette, who vied with Miss McCormick her self for beauty, appeared at the sta tion half an hour later with the $50 which obtained the singer's release.

Franc Holds Balance in French Republic (('ontinunt From Fags On«.) outcome of the present situation which makes It clear that reparation* money will not be forthcoming, should necessarily be followed by some def inite developments of French Internal finance. Spend Billion in Execs*. The French, during the entire five years since the armistice, have been spending more money than they col lected in taxes. The excess of their expenditures over their income has been upward of a billion dollars a year. They have been quite frank about it and have made no attempt, to con ceal their failure to balance their budget. They divided their budget into three parts. In the first, the ordinary budget, expenses have been about the same as the entire amount of taxes collected. A second budget, known as tho extraordinary budget, has spent about one hundred million dol lars a year without any attempt to meet it with taxation. Their third budget, known as tho special budget, has been entailing an expenditure of, roughly, aliout a million dollars a year, no part of which has been col lected In taxesk. This Is the money which the French have spent on re storing the devastated district. The French government has raised the money by selling bonds to their own people and have gone along on the expectation of reimbursing their people so soon as they should collect their reparations money from Ger many. If this latter expectation should now be seen to be Impossible, or to be very long postponed, it would be natural to expect this to be followed by a marked effect on the value of the franc. May Cause Disturbance. The franc has already' had a heavy drop In value. From a normal value of about 23 cents it has fallen to a present value of about 6 cents. If there should he a heavy and Immedi ate fall In the French franc it will be Interesting to watch the political con sequences In France. The French people have been buying eagerly the Internal French bonds, which are pay able In francs. If they should now see the value of these bonds decline to a fraction of what they paid for them, they might be seriously disturbed, and that disturbance might reflect itself in French politics. On the other hand. It is barely pos sible that the French people might look upon' the breakup of Germany In the same light as many French leaders and regard it as well worth the cost. In any event there Is not In tills situation any necessarily Im perative reason for any impairment of the external obligations of the French government, which are pay able In gold.

Foreign Relations Views of Harding Made Public Text of Proposed San Francisco Speech Is Given Out as Interview—World Court Plan Is Urged and Criticisms of St. Louis Speech Answered —International Achievements Outlined. llv ARMwtfttrd Press. Presidential Headquarters. Palace Hotel, San Francisco, Aug. 1.—Sec retary George B. Christian made pub lic tonight the address President Harding was to have delivered in San Francisco this evening at the civic auditorium on the accomplishments of the administi ation in the interna tional field. In his address, President Harding presented the views of his admlnis tration on pending International re lationships affecting the United States and urged participation by tho United States In the permanent court of in ternational justice as the next major step to be taken. Dignity Is Maintained. "With becoming dignity we have maintained our rights; we have yielded willingly to the rights of oth ers. and we dwell in cherished and unthreatened peace,” ho declared af ter enumerating the achievements of the last two and a half years, In cluding the conclusion of peace with Germany, Austria and Hungary, the arms conference and the British debt settlement. Two pending International ques tions wore discussed by the chief executive. With respect to one, the recognition of Russia, ho declared, "International good faifh forbids any sort of sanction of the bolshevist pol icy.” The other question concerned relations with Mexico, and in discuss ing it, Mr. Harding said he earnest ly hoped the American commission now in Mexico City would achieve “definite and favorable results.” Having In the past two and a half years, as he said, "strengthened our friendly relationships and done much to promote peace in the world,” the United States, he maintained, should now do Its part to bring the bless ings of peace and absence of fear of war to the other nations of the world. No Need of Force. “Nations ought no more need re sort to force In the settlement of their disputes or differences than do men in this enlightened day," he asserted. "Out of this conviction, out of my be lief In a penitent world craving for the agencies of peace, out of the in evitable presidential contact with the world war havoc and devastation and the measureless sorrow which at tended and has followed. I would be Insensihle to duty and violate all the sentiments of my heart and all my convictions If I failed to urge Ameri can support of the permanent court of International Justice. “I do not know that such a court will be unfailing in the avoidanco of war. hut I know it is a step in the right direction, and will prove an ad vanee toward International peace for which the reflective conscicice of mankind is calling.” Replies lo Critics. Evidently having in mind published statements by members of the senate and others criticising Ills Kt. Louis address in which he proposed a re construction of the creative ma chinery of the court, the president said: ‘ My own sincerity of purpose hus been questioned, because I do not insist that we shall accept the ex isting court precisely as provided. Personally, I would vastly prefer the policy of submitting all controversies in which wo are concerned to the court as it sits today, as against,any other agency of settlement yet de vised. As president, speaking for the United States, I am more Interested in adherence to such a tribunal in the dentiai insistence. The big thing is the establishment of the court and our cordial adherence thereto. All else is mere detail.” Prefacing his review- of interna tional achievements with the declara tion that ‘‘when the present national administration came into responsibil ity world affairs were in a complicat ed and very difficult posture.” The president said four main tasks were undertaken, as follows: "First, The reestablishment of peace with the central powers and the orderly settlement of those important afterproblems of the war which dl rectly involved the United States. ‘‘Second, The protection and promo tion, amid the chaos of conflicting na tional interests, of the Just rights of the United States and the legiminiate interests of American citizens. "Third, The creation of an interna tional situation, so far as the United States might contribute thereto, which would give the best assurance of peace for the future; and, "Fourth. The pursuit of the tradi tional American policy of friendly co operation with our sister republics of the western hemisphere." International Achievement*. Mr. Ha riling then proceeded to the enunciation of International achieve ments, taking up first the negotiation of separate treaties of peace with tile central powers which was necessary as “the peace negotiated by my dis tinguished predecessor, though he was Impelled by lofty purposes, had evoked a bitter and undying con troversy.” Because of the Increase In the num ber of burglaries and thefts, house holders In Vienna now have 73,000 dogs, or twice as many as before the war. .JjSB&iE M J^CE "* *>s«r,mv o^1*; "Stti £j2? w **U FOR Less Get Our Prices Before You Bu) Elsewhere Extremely Low Prices Walnut Bedroom Suite 3-piece walnut bedroom suites, period design.
