FRENCH,AWED BY
AGGRESSIVENESS
OF AMERICANS
They Can Not Understand
How Officers Run Off
Such Large Meets.
The French are awed to silence by
American aggressiveness. Over in
t'uris quarters have been arranged for
3,500 athletes who will take part in
he crea.t inter-allied games. The
Wrench are giving the athletic carni
val their undivided support, but they
cannot understand how the American
•-irmy officers who will be in charge of
the games, hope to run off the pro
gram without neglecting at least fifty,
per cent of those entered.
The French are excellent managers
hut they are not accustomed to hand
ling such affairs as a track and field
meet which will have nearly 4,000
.competitors. They are still wonder
ing how the Americans will divide the
work so they may complete the meet

can officers, however, are not in the ....
least perturbed about the size of tho Louisville
carnival. They are going ahead with
their plans just as thought there were
to be feut a half dozen athletes to
compete, and they have assured the
French the program will be executed
to the letter without hitches and
'without neglecting any of the com
petitors.
Recently there was word received at
headquarters that the Arabian sol
diers in France would like to compete
in the equestrian events. The French
officers were delighted but feared to
mention the matter lest the Ameri
cans would refuse on the ground they
could not handle them. Their sur
prise almost prostrated them when
the Yankees accepted and asked the
French to interest the horsemen of
other nations so that an equestrian
program could be added. The French
are going to benefit from the inter
allied games in the shape of a lesson
in management. The American offi
cers in charge of the meeting are
nearly all former college men who
have taken part in the biggest track
and field meets in this country. They
have their system worked out now
and it is based purely on American
ingenuity and American push.

"Do you call Dr. Lyman. Abbott,
the preacher, an anarchist?" asked
Mr. Lucking.
"No, he is rather strong for pre
paredness, I believe."
Mr. Lucking read from a book by
Dr. Abbott on the brotherhood of
man.
"Is that not a fundamental Chris
tian belief?" asked Mr, Lucking.
"I believe that it is. but in It there
is no attack on nationalism."
Mr. Lucking asked if Ralph Waldo
Emerson was an anarchist.
"No. he was a transcendentalist—
an idealist."

REEVES RECALLED
IN FORD-TRIBUNE
LIBEL CASE TODAY
Mdunt Clemens, Mich.. June 24.—
Professor J. 8. Reeves, head of the
department of political science at the
University of Michigan, was recalled
today in the Ford-Tribune case. Last
Friday Prof. Reeves testified that
many of Henry Ford's utterances were
similar to those of well recognized
anarchists.
"Some of Mr. Ford's ideas are held
by others who are not anarchists?"
asked Attorney Alfred Lucking.
"Some of them, yes," replied Prof.
Reeves. Internationalism as opposed
to nationalism, the witness said, is an
anarchistic belief.
"Isn't the brotherhood of man a
bible teaching, also?" asked Mr.
Lucking.
"Yes."

GRAIN AND PROVISIONS.
Chicago. June 24.—Weakness
manifested itself in the corn market
today, largely as a result of opinions
that peace had been well discounted
in advance. Besides, a sharp (setback
which had taken place in hog .quota
tions, tended to diminish the feeding
value of corn. On Ihe other hand,
shorts who tried to cover on the de
cline found offerings light. Opening
prices which ranged grorrt 1-8 to 2
3-4c lower with July $1.80 1-2 to
1.81 12 and September $1.76 3-4 to
1 77 3-4 were followed by moderate
rallies.
Oats were off with corn. After
opening 38c down to l-8c advance in
cluding September at 70

S"
to 71,. the
market underwent a sag all arodnd.
Sympathy with the weakness of
hogs and corn led to a fall In provi
sions.
Popular stocks were subjected to
greater unsettlement at midday. "Oils,
motors, shippings, leathers and tex
tiles rtiade extreme losses of 3 to 8^
points with rallies of 1 to 2. Selling
was accompanied by reports that
banks were calling loans but money
held at 6 per cent.
Subsequently favorable weather for
the growing croo received notice as
an additional bearish factor. Liquid
ating sales by holders increased and
at one time September, was down
nearly 6 per cent under yesterday's
top. The market closed nervous at
3 to 4 cents not decline with July

STOCKS.
New York, June 24 —The stock
market this morning displayed unex
pected recuperative power, some of
early being
largely regained in the first hour.
Later when rails strengthened under
lead of Paciflcs, Atchison, Reading
and New York Central, the" rally ex
tended to equipments, rubbers and
food shares Covering of short con
tracts was reported in shippings and
General Motors rebounded 'almost five
points. Oils made •. little recovery,
however, and steels continued under
pressure, interest centered in money:
conditions because' of their ^"direct
hearing upon speculation. Call loans
opened at six per cerTt.
Stocks were decidedly heavy at the
opening of today's session, the short
interest adopting a more aggressive
attitude on the. prospect of Higher
money rates for the balance of the
month. General Motors which fea
tured yesterday's trading at an 8
point advance, soon forfeited virtually
all of its gain and losses of 1 to .3
points were made by Studebaker, Ma
