Chief French Delegate Is Still Strong for America Trying Times in Disarmament Conference Fail to Curb Enthusiasm.

Special to Indiana Dally Times and Philadelphia Public Ledger. By CONSTANCE B REXEL. WASHINGTON. Jan. IS—ln conversation at a luncheon several weeks ago M. Albert Sarraut, now head of the French delegation enthusiastically told his table companion how much he liked America. That occurred before the friction over capital ships and submarines became apparent, resulting in an avalanche of criticism against France. In consequence the conference path for France has been anything but rosy. One might therefore have assumed that M. Sarraut would have changed his cordial opinion of America. Not so. M. Sarraut is just as keen about America as he was when France was feeling so joyful over the fourpower pact because she had been included when It might have compromised only Great Britain, Japan and the United States. He told the writer his enthusiasm for America had not waned a bit because of the trying weeks of the conference. Why that Is so will be disclosed later. HERE S A CLuSEUP OF M. SARRAUT. For the moment, let us describe M. Sarraut. A man about fifty, he has the square head of a bull terrior, with the snappiness of manner and the small bristling mustache reminding one of the tale of Theodore Roosevelt on a smaller scale. The same eye glasses are there. At home he is owner of La Depeche de Toulouse, France's most influential paper outside of Paris. But still more Important, he has been minister of colonies in Briand's cabinet, and today he received word from Poincare inviting him to remain in the cabinet. That makes his ninth ministry. He was a lieutenant of Infantry In the later war and was wounded severely. at Verdun. While governor of Indo-China, France's largest colony in Asia, he became famed as a colonial administrator and put through an advantageous deal for rice with Japan. But even though he has been a far greater globe trotter than most of the Frenchmen, when he came to the conference it was the first time he had set foot in America. He had always traveled to Asia the other way. That is one reason he speaks no English. Explaining his enthusiasm for America today M. Sarraut said: FEELS AT HOME ON ARRIVAL. “The moment I stepped on American soil I felt myself at home. I did not-feel that I had been uprooted or transplanted in any way, and that feeling has grown even during the trying weeks of the conference. “It does not seem that I have changed country in the least; our ideas of art and the very air one breathes seems to be the same. I have felt a strange sympathy and understanding all along. Os course this is psychological, but nevertheless, there must be a foundation In fact.” And, thereupon, the head of the French delegation took some pains to explain, with impassioned gestures and very Gallic emotion, he was firmly convinced it was not the American people who were criticising France. He thinks if Is merely a superficial misunderstanding due to the fact France had been forced through circumstances to wait until the naval ratio 5-5-3 had been practically fixed before being called in to explain her position. From the above, the statement M. Sarraut still enthuses over America may seem paradoxical. He believes Americans have not had the opportunity of hearing France's defense for her naval proginw. He has facts and figures which he ■wants to give the conference and to the public at a plenary session. It may take place on Tuesday. lie thinks America will then better understand France’s position, thereby Increasing the chance of a rapprochement among all nations. Asked whether he had felt surprised !n finding four American women on the advisory committee of the American delegation, M. Sarraut answered: “No, indeed, I had always heard of the direct part in public and business affairs taken by American women. So it seems to me perfectly logical they should have been called upon to give the benefit of their own point of view to the conference.” Hereupon the conversation naturally drifted tb the seclusion of French women. The thought developed If French women had had suffrage rights and had thus been in communication with American women as British women have, the grave misunderstandings which have arisen might have been avoided. Women have human feelings more fully

Render Qms r ßccomc Jim Gum soreness and bleeding usually end in one week. Kloria destroys germ cause. Free trial proves it.

NOTHING like Kloria has ever been known before for sore, bleeding gums, pyorrhea, etc. Usually, in one week, all gum soreness and bleeding disappear, and soon the shrunken gums tighten around the teeth again. Doubt if you must, but try it. This is the new and wonderful antiseptic discovered in the world war, which, by scientific test, is over 40 times more germ-destroy-ing than carbolic acid. This great germicidal power is what makes it so effective. _ Yet Kloria doesn’t burn or irritate, is soothing, pleasant, and absolutely safe because not poisonous. Asa healing agent, it knows no equal. Apply it, without fear, to any skin disease such as eczema or barber’s itch, and watch the trouble fade away. Mark how it soothes soreness, itching and irri-

developed than men. The same statement applies to Great Britain, America and France. There is no doubt of the pressure against militarism and military and naval preparedness being brought upon the governments of Great Britain and America by the women of those two countries. In both of these countries women have but recently received the franchise, making it necessary for the government to listen to them. In France the women have no suffrage rights whatever. France still is under the dominating fear that right and justice must be protected if not achieved by huge military and naval forces. She still believes the prestige of a nation are dependent on those forces. IDEAS MAKE BEST I‘ROGRESS IN U. S. Even those who like and understand France the best must admit that the “new ideas of life not based on conflict" (quoting from President Harding) have made greater progress in America and in Great Britain than in France. Os course, conditions are different. But the possibility remains (in which thought M. Sarraut concurred) that If a greater contact between French and American women through mutual interest in the conference had been established, the present difficulties might have been avoided. But, be that is it may, M. Sarraut still likes America and only wishes he could take a trip clear to the Pacific coast before going back to France.—Copyright, 1022, by Public Ledger Company.

FREIGHT BUREAU SIFT ORDERED Purposes and Activities of Organization to Be Questioned. WASHINGTON, Jan. 18.—In accordance with a Senate resolution of Dec. 15, 1021, the Interstate Commerce Commission today ordered an investigation into the organization, management and control of the transcontinental freight bureau at Chicago. The investigation will go into the purposes for which the bureau was organized, its duties and activities, the railroads it represents and the influence it exercises in the publication of freight rates and charges as between railroads. The inquiry will also bring out whether the bureau's operation In any manner stifles competition between various railroads. The investigation will be conducted through hearings or otherwise, as the commission may hereafter determine. CRAB AND TOMATO SALAD.

For dandruff, simply wet the scalp a few times with Kloria, and see how quickly the itching and dandruff disappear, yet it is harmless as water to' the hair. Asa mouth-wash, it really destroys the acid-forming bacteria, thus preventing tooth-decay. Asa gargle, there is nothing like it for sore throat.

Witenss this from Asplnwnll, Pa.; “Just show me the real gentleman.

“must be a good dresser, not too sporty, | but must like a good time. If you will j steer m right, I think I can do my part. No flirts or curiosity seekers accepted, j This is to he fair play.” A good man in Kansas City tells the j mayor to tell some good widow that he ! “don’t drink nothing stronger than j coffee.” For a Romeo smitten with a love of adventure here is a daisy opportunity. A romantic person who signs her name “Miss?” printed a leter to the mayor telling of her desire for a real lover. The only address she gives is “X. C., Michigan.” “He must be Interested enough when you show him this letter to take the next train for T. C. Mich., to meet yours truly and If he does not find me without any names mentioned from my description and love me on first sight I’ll send him packing,” says the mysterious damsel. “fie must not propose for six months, but must COURT. Send him along, but only if he’s a good one that the other girls like.” Many of the writers thanked the mayor for his thoughtfulness. “Some of us I i widows have very little clianee to bei come acquainted with the right kind of a j i nmn and don't want any but the right kind. Will you also help us to know too good from the bad?” writes one woman. And from a grateful man: “AHA! THE VERY THINGS'* SR/.ZE. “I have studied that proposition of yours over and believe you are giving

us old Rtiffs some good advice.” A widow of 58 in Wayland, Mich., might hook up with the Kansas City man who drinks nothing stronger than coffee, for she writes she does “not want any chewer, smoker or dTlnker. In other words ho must be a model man.” In Centralia. 111., there is a man who says he owns a twelve-room house, a meat market and grocery. “My age is about 30-33. I fee] young and spry.” “Mr. Janitor,” who 6ays he runs the finest apartment house in Detroit, writes: “I want no triflers.” A frank fellow in West Allis, Wis., says: “I am writing to see if you could furnish a wife for an aged widower.” A widow in Battle Creek, Mich., writes: “I am an American, 53 years old, but don’t look it and don’t act it.” “I sure would do all I could to make a
