He was o ma cere good man, an honest e s were those used 3 groups that gath red to discuss the news of Mr. Hard- ing’s death It would be useless to pretend that Europe regarded Mr. Harding as a great statesman.

The writer. in numerous v all the countries of Europe, ha: had occasion to become acqu: with the popular feeling regarding Mr. Harding and has heard countless express themselves in terms that made it plain that they regarded Harding more as a warm hearted and generous friend than the chief of a great £tate who might inspire awe and respect because of the power vested in him. They felt he was more interested in people than anything else, and even when his officlal acts might not tw ap- proved by natlonal sentiment in this or some other nation there was rarely a word of resentment against the man himself. Millions of people in Europe today are struggling amid the bitter disap- pointments of war-wrecked lives. The loss of the kindly sympathy of a man they loved and trusted is felt keenly. Wonder About Coolldg: Such a vast gulf exists between the personality of Mr. Harding and that of President Coolidge that Europeans generally, as they read today the cabled biographies and sketches of the new executive. were puzzled by the contrast. Mr. Harding they knew to be of genial and expansive temper- ament. Indeed, Mr. Harding had spent some time abroad and because of this was better known than moSt men who have been Chief Executives of the United States. Mr. Coolidge, a retiring, ~ quiet, withal friendly man, is_unknown 'to people here. The office of Vice President is a more effect{ve barrfer against knowledge of a man's personality on this side than it is in America, where one of the standing jokes of politics con- cerns itself with the anonymity of the man who is Vice President. It came, therefore, as a surprise to the average European to read the descriptions of “austerity, firmness and ironlike will qualities of President Coolidge, and many thought the new executive to be tempera- mentally akin to former President Wilson.

Special Dispatch to The Star, NEW YORK, August 4 — “The| United States must stop killing its Prestdents.” This warning was sounded today by Mrs. Douglas Robinson, sister of the late Theodore Roosevelt, in com- menting on the sudden death of President Harding. Mrs. Robinson spoke from her intimate knowledge of the severe physical strain involved in the pres- idéncy, saying that even her brother, a young and robust man, had often found the presidential tour a “gruel- ling experfence.” “No man who comes to ‘he presi- dency after the age of fifty can bear without serious cost to his heulth the enormous obligations put upon him by the American people,” sald Mrs. Robinson. “The reason Thec- dore Roosevelt was able to undergo the rigors of his experfences in the African jungle after he left the White House was that he was a very young man “Moxt Gruelling Experlence.” VI cannot say that his health was in any way impaired by his political ictivities, though he was often fa- ued. «He once admitted to me that he continuous strain of a presid:n tal tour, with its handshaking and speech-making, was the most gruel- ing experience of public life “President Harding, more than any esident we have had, was like dore Roosevelt in feeling a clo hip with the people. and zave of himself whenever they de- manded ft.
