Barthou’s Last Message to U.S.TransmittedbySimms a a a m n tt Good-Will Speech of Slain French Foreign Minister Is Recalled by Writer.
BY WILLIAM PHILIP SIMS Scripps-Howard Foreien Editor WASHINGTON. Oct. 13.—While France’s great foreign minister goes to his grave today, I am able to transmit through The Indianapolis Times his last official message to the American people. Last June I called on M. Barthou at the French foreign office. He always had been a great friend of the United States and once he recalled some of his meetings with President Wilson and others. Suddenly he laughed. “You know,” he said, “the gods were against me the last time I tried to communicate with the American people.”
I asked what made him think so. "You see,” he explained whimsically. "during the Lafayette celebration in the United States, I was asked to deliver a message to the American people by radio. And I was cut off. Too much static or something. I talked into the microphone over here, but nothing came out of the loud speakers over there.” “13 RING me my radio speech of O May 5," said M. Barthou to his secretary. When it was handed to him he turned it over to me with another of his quick smiles. "There is the speech—my own ill-fated original copy. Perhaps you may have occasion to deliver it for me.” The speech, of course, was largely about Lafayette and Washington. and the traditional friendship between his country and America. Like France, America always had fought for human liberty. Today, he said, as both countries face difficulties of another sort, continue to fight for those same liberties. "It is in that tried concept of liberty,” he explained, "that America today pursues her immense task. And it is with admiration that we measure the difficulties and the greatness of the things being accomplished by your illustrious President. Prosperity can not fail tp respond to such puissant leadership . . .” "American citizens: Rest assured no Frenchman will ever forget the decisive aid given by the United States to France in her darkest hour. Should any one tell you differently, refuse to believe him. "Listen to my voice. It is that of an old friend. It is not the foreign minister of France that speaks to you tonight, but my entire life.”
He concluded by reminding prophetically that “it is the mission of statesmen to apply all their resources, all their devotion, all their intelligence, all their reason and all their hearts towards clearing the road of misunderstandings.” STOCKHOLDERS BRING ACTION AGAINST BANK Plaintiffs Seek Share in Assets of Fletcher American. A petition of stockholders of the Shareholders Investment Corporation asking a court opinion on whether they are entitled to a share of the less than SBO,OOO estate of its affiliate, the defunct Fletcher American Company, was filed today in federal court. The complaint charges that through a system of interlocking directorates Fletcher American Company directors deprived the plaintiffs of $978,000 by upsecured notes. Under the Fletcher company reorganization, stockholders of the shareholders’ corporation would not receive any of the assets. The. petition is signed by Harry W. Bliss, Martha E. Anderson and Mary H. Thompson. LEO F. WELCH HEADS INDIANA LOAN LEAGUE Celtic Savings Chief Is Honored at Annual Convention. New president of the Savings and Loan League of Indiana is Leo F. Welch.

BUSINESS NEWS FOR THE WEEK
SMALL LOANS FIT NEEUS OF MOST PERSONS Only Slight Per Cent of Population Can Be Served by Banks. “Credit is a universal necessity,” C. C. Lloyd, manager of the Capital Loan Company, Inc., 207 Kresge building, 41 East Washington street, observes. “It is as vital to the workingman, clerk, artisan or laborer on small salary or wages as to the great corporations or to governments, to whom it is indispensible. “The commercial banks do not and can not directly serve the credit needs of the great majority,” he concluded. It is estimated that only about 8, or at most 10, per cent of the adult population has checking accounts, and of this number less than 5 per cent can borrow at banks. This is to say that 90 per cent of the adult population does not possess collateral which would be accepted by banks as security for loans. Accordingly, this large majority, in any emergency such as sickness, death in the family, unemployment or other unforeseen or immediate occasion for ready money, must seek elsewhere for credit accommodations. They have two available resources, charity or a loan. The first recourse is unthinkable to the great majority of such borrowers. The loan, then, is the solution. The Capital Loan Company, Inc., Is a friend indeed to those who are temporarily “up against it.” Any worthy person requiring financial help may obtain a loan in amounts up to S3OO within twen-ty-four hours and virtually choose the length of time for repayment. “We require no indorsers or comakers of notes and make no inquired of employers or trades persons,” Mr. Lloyd explains.

PAINT HALTS DISEASE Physician Tells of Fever Decrease Af{er Coating Hospital Walls. Dr. Max Starkloff, more than thirty years health commissioner of St. Louis, cites an Incident where more than 100 lives probably were saved because the application of paint to walls left no place for disease to propagate. “In a hospital of which I had knowledge,” says Dr. Starkloff, “there were, in a given period, more than 100 cases of puerperal fever, with a high death rate. After the walls were painted, it was noted that in a similar length of time, cases of puerperal fever almost were unknown. Undoubtedly paint was largely responsible for this saving of many lives.”
