COOLIDGE BEGINS HIS TASK TODAY Considers Two Courses In Dealing With The Strike Situation (By PAUL R. MALLON) United Press Staff Correspondent White House. Washington. D. C., \ug. 13. President Calvin Coolidge stepped into the White House todav "to clean up the correspondence” left unfinished by the sudden death of 1 ITesident Hnrding. Pledged to carry out the principles 'of his predecessor, Mr. Coolidge goes 1 into the executive ofiees as president for the first time to sit at the desk j where Mr. Harding sat and finish the the job. Matters of immediate concern are the anthracite situation appointment of his personal secretary ami preservation of the Harding organization within the Republican party. Mr. Coolidge's entrance into the executive offices will not disturb Mrs. Harding's occupancy of the white house proper. The ofiees are in a separate wing. In the coal striks situation. Mr. Coolidge is considering two courses: | 1 — Calling the miners and operators to the White House and serving upon them notice that the government will not tolerate a strike Sept. 1. 2 — Bringing steady pressure for a settlement and if that fails acting to safeguard the public coal supply in case of a shutdown. Mr. Coolidge is leaning toward the first course now. But he is not quick to make up his mind. He believes that hast makes waste in gov-. eminent activity and he will consult again with his advisors before making public his decision. o Yeomen Meet Outdoors The Brotherhood of American Yeo-

men will hold their repular meeting tonight in the yard at the Lee Stultz home, in the south part of town. All members are urged to come and the degree team is especially requested to be there as there is work to do.

At least a dozen person were injured and thousands of dollars lost in •iamaged buildings and crops. o , ' FIRPO HAS CHANCE United Press Sports Editor Gives The South American A Chance By HENRY L. FARRELL (United P>es a Sr orts Editor) New York, Aug. 13—Any fighter with a tremendous punch and the heart to come back under punishment, even if he is a crude boxer and a onehand hitter, is a dangerous man Against any opponent. For this reason. Louis Angel Firpo, the huge South American, has a chance to win the heavyweight championship from Jack Dempsey when they meet on September 11, or later. I Because he is a crude, rough workman, because lie is “dumb” in the orthodox way of judging boxers and because he is green and pracitcally inexperienced against first-class fighters, Firpo’s chances of beating Dempsey are being laughed at by the wise ones, and predictions are being made that the South American will end on the floor as soon, as Dempsey is inclined to stop the fight. | Firpo has so many faults that it would be silly to figure him as a sure thing to win the championship, but it is almost as foolish to concede him no chance against the champion. | Regardless of Firpo’s lack of boxing skill and despite the fact that he has to be reminded he has a left hand, it is one sure thing that Dempsey will enter the ring with plenty of respect for the South American’s right hand. Firpo. in the possession of a right hand that has more driving power ( than any right in the business, is physically and at heart patterned much after Richie Mitchell, the Milwakuee lightweight, and Eugene Criqui, the featherweight champion of the world for June and July, 1923. | Firpo, Mitchell and Criqui are all highly dangerous as long as they are • on their feet. The dynamite in their ' right hands is always a terrific men- . tai hazard to their opponents, no niati ter how near they are to submission. - All three fight back hardest when hurt. I | Mitchell is perhaps the most dangers ous fighter in the ring when he is just 'about able to stand. His fight in Mad-

Ison Square Garden two years ago with Benny Leonard never will be forgotten. Leonard had him out on his feet, punched dizzy and glassy, but Leonard became care)ess when he was so close to victory and he dropped his guard. Mitchell crashed over u right hand to the Jaw and flopped Leonard to the canvass for the count of nine, in many other of his recent fights, which have been losing fights, Mitchell has always flashed the valiant dying stand that worried his opponents until the finish. Crlqui hud nothing but his right hand punch ami a heart that never permitted him to step back. He could n't box, but he could fight. Johnny Kilbane made a monkey out of the Frenchman for five rounds, but Kilbane became careless. He opened himself to a right hand punch and was knocked out. a D. O. K.

LOSING POPULATION - France Losing Half Million People Each Year At Present By JOHN O BRIEN United PrcMM Staff Correspondent Paris. August 13.—1 f the present rate of depopulation in France continues until 193 G France will be able to place an army of only 3.500,000 men in the field in case of war, while Germany will have 10.000,000 men capable of bearing arms. In other words France will have an annual recruit ."class” of 100,000 men, whereas she has now 258.000. These figures were I given by ex-Prefect of Police, Lepine at a meeting of the French league. I “In the year 1922,” said M. Lepine, “■we lost half million population. One of these days the number of deaths will be actually superior to that of births. For every two male children born in France, Italy has three and Germany five. France is the most 'extravagant nation in the world We i are paying every year twenty five billion francs (about one and a half bili lion dollars) for goods which our coloI nies ought to provide. costs more .to publish 2,000 copies of a book in France than it does to publish 5,000 in England. Germany knows all this. (That is why she is playing the waiting game. She knows that very soon she will see France in a position of utter inferity. That is why she is preparing a formidable aerial fleet to help her get revenge.” 0 : FREE SCALES POPULAR Total Os 17,000 Weighed On One Free | Scale In Indianapolis In Week | Indianapolis, Aug. 13. —"Here Hemry—you hold baby.
