Caillaux* political enemies as well as his friends declare he must refuse to yield this point even if it leads to a rupture in the. negetiations. If this happens it is declared on all sides that the fault will rest with the United States. It is pointed out that Calllaux vielded to the American wish not to mention the relution of war debts to reparations, but if the United States 1s unwilling to approach the question from this angle -hecause she is not & partner in the Versailles treaty Wush- ington should at least permit Caillaux to advance arguments for a reserva- tion. Must Permit Reduction. The radical Le Quotidien declares Caillaux dare not engage France to make big payments unless the agree. ment carries a clause which will permit & reduction in payments. “America has demagogues,” it de- clares, “who refuse to permit it to be mentioned. but France cannot re- nounce her reservation. French opinion is entirely hehind Caillaux in sticking to this point which must be settled before the argument can £o on. To refuse us this guarantee will be to take the responsibility for the failure of the negotiations. The liberal Oeuvre takes the same. angls, ving: “The United States would hardly in the end refuse to France what was freely accorded to Germany. If she does, America will alone bear the responsibility.’ Big American Loan. A big American loan as soon as the debt is settled is also unfavor- ably commented upon. It is taken to indicate an obvious understanding between Washington and Wall Street. Oeuvre, continuing, says: “If France is threatened with failure to secure the loan unless she meets Washing- ton's terms, it is better to drop the negotiations and to borrow in Eu- rope.” The_conservative Figaro says Cail- laux risks selling France's birthright for a mess of pottage (lentils), the French phrase) and says there are great advantages for France in an equitable settlement, but that another loan is so much extra burden and unless the United States is willing to make reasonable terms the settle- ment of the war debt with a new loan is too costly. “The French mission is wrong if it thinks it will escape the censure of French opinfon if it sacrifices our angany and future for a dish of len- (Copyright. 1925.)

The great columns of which the tower consists are mostly pentagonal | in shape, but some are four or six sided. Each column is about 6 feet in diameter, and the whole bunched together like a bundle of matches. In evernl columns ‘unite in their portion to form. a large fluted In the lower quarter or third of the tower the columns bend out- ward and merge rapidly into massive rock, which toward the base shows little' trace of columnar structure. It measures more than 1 mile around the base. The Devil's Tower w aborigines as a landmark from which to direct thelr courses across the plains. The Indian lexend of ts orizin has it that one day three Sioux maid: ens, while out gathering wild flowers, were beset by three bears. maidens took refuge upon a rock, which the hears were also able to climb, because they had long, sharp claws. The gods, seeing the maldens about to be devoured, caused the rock to grow out of the ground. As the rock grew, the maidens climbed, but the bears could climb no farther and fell to their death on the rocks be- low. The maldens then took the flowers they had gathered and made them into a rope, which which they safely lowered themselves to the ground. The columnar structure is supposed to have been caused by the marks of the bears’ claws. The In- dians also say that during thunder- storms the Thunder God takes his mighty drum to the top of the tower, where he beats it, thus causing the. thunder. The Devil's Tower is reached by a side trip of 7 miles from the Custer Battlefield highway and Black and Yellow trail, two signed highways, which follow practically the same route through northeastern Wyoming.

No cleaner people live than the Mayas of Yucatan. It is safe to say that every Maya hathes at least once a day.

Will' Have Been Married Year Will Be on One week from today President and Mrs. Coolidge-will celebrate the twen- tieth anniversary of their wedding. The Coolidges have never made much fuss over these sort of things in the past, and their close friends, while dis- cussing the coming event last night, said they don't look for them to depart from their fixed ideas: when the anni- versary day arrives next Sunday. Two vears ago the matter of taking some little notice of the occasion, be- cause it was their first since they had been living in the White House, was suggested strongly to the President and his. wife, but they preferred to ob- serve the anniversary in their cus- tomary simple and modest fashion. Mr. Coolidge didn’t think his being President: made any great difference. Therefore there has been nothing in the shape of a real wedding anniver- sary party or celebration other. than the customary family congratulations and congratulations from other rela- tives and friends and the usual num- ber of presents an Executive usually receives from friends and admirers on such occasions; since Mr, Coolidge has been President. .

One night back in 1906, when Calvin Coolidge presented himself at Grace Goodhaue's home in Northampton, Mass., and asked Col. Jame. Geodbue, her father, for his consent to the nup- tials, he was nearly 33 years of age. There: was nothing about him to sug- gest then that he would ever become President of the United States. The young lady of his choice, who was then a teacher, was not at home when Mr. Coolidge called that night ‘When Col. Goodhue answered the door bell he informed Mr. Coolidge of that fact, but the future President, with his then strongly developed trait for directness and brevity in speech, said he knew it and that he had called to talk business.

This part of the Spanish front had been seeing some special activities for the past two days. since Riff troops under Hamid Boudra had captured Darben-alsea and massacred its Span- ish garrison i We left Bohrabish on the evening of the 6th of September. I was mount- ed on a long-legged Spanish mule with @ mind of its own. We crossed the Djebala to the great Spanish military road, where the Sheshuan-Tetuan re. treat took place last vear. The jour- ney occupied all night and ull ~day Monday, with only an occasional short rest. One of these rests took place in the courtyard of a village mosque, direot- ly opposite the Spanish positions around the Fondak of Ain-Yedida. We were just getting soundly to sleep on top of our saddlebags when the muezzin began intoning his last call to prayer: “God {s great! 1s no God but Allah! but Allah and Mohammed Prophet! Hurry to prayer! to redemption!” Took Wrone Road. An irritating incident of the jour- ney was the loss of my gulde mid- way on my journey. He. astride a gpeedler steed, was about half a mile ahead of me on the trail. When we reached a fork of the road and I had to choose one of two trails, Allah was unkind enough to send me along the wrong road. T made the rest of my journey alone, except for occasional chance companions _along the road. I slept in a cornfield Monday night and reached Targhzuit at noon Tuesday. My errant guide had beaten me inte town by one hour. Stdi Mohammed, generalin-chief of the RIff armies and brother of Abd- el-Krim, recelved me with the great- est cordiality on my arrival at Targh- zuit. s My credéntials had preceded me, and my visit of a year ago was pleas- antly remembered. 1 found myself the only correspondent with the Riff forces. . Gen. Sidi Mohammed produced im- mediate evidence of his tact. and courtesy, in the form of a. Buropean meal, cooked by the Abd-el-Krim family’s own cook from Melilla. 1 was given a tent, with a table, a bed and two chairs, together with a personal servant. The furnishings of my tent were undoubtedly a .great concession, for such articles as tables and chairs are the rarest luxuries in the interfor of Morocco. Bomb- Screen Needed. Thus is my personal comfort pro- vided for, in recognition of my repre- senting the press and public of the United States of America. Now if Sidi Mohammed could only contrive some sort of a screen against bombs, all would be. well. Bombs have been frequent and furious dur. ing my stay in the RIff country. Still, the European aviation experts cannot be said to be distinguishing themselves, ’33‘" by the results of. the past few days. A whole escadrille of seven pjanes from the French zone bombed the Holy City of Sechuan for two hours on Sunday and two hours Monday. The resuitant casuaities. were only two people killed and one ‘wounded. Both of the dead were non-combate ants—a woman and a man. The combined French and Spanish fleets bombarded Wadlau and Tgizas Saturday. Total casualties were four killed. A furious bombardment of Ajdir on Friday resulted in only three deaths—two of the fatalities being Spanish lsoners. pi.! is !r;’:.ll wonder that in spite of the- gathering dangers of this war God is great!

Last Summer Mars was closer to the earth than it had been for many years, and in the period from the Spring of 1924 to July of this year, when the t reached a ne with the s lost to view, handreds of drawings and tens of thoyisands of photographs were made with the 24.inch telescope, chiefly by Bari . Slipher. These show seasonal changs, doubtiess similar to what would be observed on the earth itself from a distance; clouds, which appeared, moved the Martian surface and vanished like terrestrial storms, and also those strange. dark, straight maakings which have been called the canals and over which so much controversy has waged. Canals Not Illusions. Many astronomés, some of great repute, have exprewsed the opinion that these are mere optical illusions, and that those who &aimed to have | seen them were mistdken. To any one who has paid a visit Lo the Lowell Observatory, such as 1 have just com- plated, and has had the pleasure of seeing Mr. SNlipher's actuxl photo- graphic negatives on which the “camals” distinetly show, such & view is unthinkable. The markings are thers, but whether or not they indi- cate the presence of intelligent life is apother and still undetermined ques- tion. Tirect photography and visual eb- servytions of Mars were not the only methAds used by the Lowell astrono- mers lust Summer, for with the co- operatiom of the United States Bureau of Standards accurate measurements ‘were madeé for the first time of the amount of rydiation from the planet, and from this it has been possible to judge accurately its temperature. This was done wAth a very delicate in- strument knowrd the Coblentz radiometer, Last Summer Dr. Cob- lentz and Dr. C. O. Lampland of the observatory staff worhed on this prob- lem and since that time Dr. Lampland has continued the research, applying the radiometer not only h Mars, but to Mercury, Venus, Satun, Jupitey and Uranus'as well. Temperature High. The instrument is used with tke ob- servatory’s reflecting telescope, which has a mirror 40 inches in diameten, to gather the light from the planet. THRY have found that the Martian temperiw ture is surprisingly high, as much as 60 degrees Fahrenheit in Summer. This is of particular interest because many astronomers have supposed that because Mars is so many millions of miles farther away from the sun, our common source of energy, than we are its temperature would be con- tinually below the freezimg point of wadter. However, the earth retains only a little over half the radiation that it receives, while Mars absorbs about 85 per cent. The study of Mars has now censed temporarily, but next year it will be resumed, when the planet, though not as close as in 1924, will be higher in the sky and in a better posi- tion for observation. Meanwhile, Dr. Lapland is studying the other planets. Jupiter, he finds, gives practically no radiation that can be detected with the instrument, while Venus, most surprisingly, radiates strongly from the dark portions as well as the bright. With this planet, which now shines brightly low in the western sky just after sunset, the problem is complicated, because we do not see the surface. It is perpetually covered with clouds, and we do not yet know how far we can penetrate through them. 5 Mrs. Campbell’s Retort. From tho New- York Worid.
