THE SALEMITE CURRENT HISTORY In the sudden hush eoneernine (ierman finances, the problem of I’rench finances now faces the world. It lias seemed tiiat the S]>eculators of tile franc were going to throw finan cial France into the same condition as Germany. This crash to the I'rench nation has been avoided by two means: the protection of the '■urrencies in themarket through in ternational credits, and by financial reforms. The banks of I^ondon have agreed to give the Bank of France a 1,000,- 000 pound credit. The New York bankers, headed by J. P. Morgan & Companv, have loaned the Bank of France $100,000,000. It is un ilerstood that this credit, arranged l)y the. New York bankers, will no l>e used immediately', but will be kept as a reserve to meet contingei cies. President Coolidge approves oi this loan not only because he believes tliat investments abroad by Ameri cans will aid our trade, but also be Cause Europe cannot easily pay the •nillion of dollars she owes us unless prosperity is restored. Financial reform, in the form oi new French Taxation Bill, has I'een successfully j>assed throuKii tile Senate by Premier Poincare. I’liis law authorizes the (jovernmenl to undertake all the reforms and ad- •iiinistrative readjustments that are Contemplated for economy in the public service, after decrees to that effect have been issued by' the Coun cil of State. With the object of re establishment of equilibrium in the Inidget, an increase of two-tenths on all imports, monopolies, and ta existing for the benefit of tlie State, *s decreed. A twenty per cent in crease is placed on all direct taxes, 'vith a few exceptions. By means of international credits !ind internal financial reform, the Value of the franc is steadily increas ing. It is hoped that the Bank of Prance will soon stabilize the franc. * * * Scores of Americans are now thronginK to Rome to witness the ‘American consistory,” which will take place next Monday and Thurs day. At this time the Pope will ele- 'ate Archbishop Hayes, of New Vork, and Archbishop Mundelein, of Chicago, to the ranks of Princes of the Cliurch. These American Prelates arrived in Rome on ISIarch 18. Rome extend ed a royal welcome in spirit, and it 'vould liave been a royal welcome in form, as well, but the crowd whicli fathered to welcome the two pre lates was so great that it becam-; necessary to conduct the Archbish ops away from the vast assemblage, although the royal waiting room liaiJ I'een prepared for their reception. ‘‘Several thousands of messages of Congratulation from all over the 'vorld were received by the two prelates. Work is actively proceeding in side St. Peter’s basilica, preparing for the public consistory on March 27th. * •*■ * J udge '^Hirtis Dwight Wilbur has |>een nominated by President Cool- ■dge to succeed Edwin Denby as Sec- I'etary of tiie Navy-.

At various times he held the positions of pastor of Trinity Cliureh, Charlotte; pastor >f Central Church, Concord, and presiding elder first of the Winston District and then of the Charlotte District.

In order that this number may be reduced to a minimum. Miss Cliarlotte Jackson has organized a biginners’ class and is giving regu lar lessons in this sport. College athletics have often been criticized because they so often take Uie form of games which graduates have no opportunity to play. Ten nis is, how-ever, one form of athletics vhich college students may' continue to enjoy long after their school days ire over. Golf, too, holds its place in the enjoyment of men and women beyond the college age. Miss Jack- jon is anxious that all college girls take an active interest in the instruc tion she regularly gives in these two forms of athletics in order that they may find pleasure in physical exer ase not only during college life, but also in after years.

BROADWAY DEAN SHIRLEY GIVES “PILGRIM’S PROGRESS” The first of the Lenten organ re citals given each year by Dean Shir ley took place in Memorial Hall at the regular Music Hour on Thurs day afternoon. Dean Shirley played a portion of the “Pilgrim’s Prog ress,” a remarkable modern organ work by Ernest Austin. The re cital was unusual in every respect, and a large audience attended. Dean Shirley was assisted by Mrs. W. L. Reid, who beautifullj' rendered an interpretation of this unique tone poem. She stated that the “Pilgrim’s Progress” marks an epoch in organ compositions. It is divided into twelve parts and embraces the whole range of human emotions. It is a very long work; its composition cov ered a period of seven j^ears. Mrs. Reid then told the story of “Pilgrim’s Progress” from the be ginning up to the time when Chris- iian meets Evangelist and definitely begins his journey. Dean Shirley played the first three parts of the composition. Before each part Mrs. Reid described the scenes to be por trayed in tlie music. The opening theme of tlie composition is in the key of D minor. It is descriptive of Christian’s state of mind—his un- liapiness, his hopefulness, and his determination to go on to the Celes tial City'. In part two, Christian pleads with his family' to go with lim. They only make fun of him md refuse to go. The theme which depicts the jeerings of the people is especially interesting. In the third part Christian begins his journey. The music is characterized by great .•ariety and contrast. As Christian wanders his emotions leap from hope to despair, from joy to grief. Final ly he meets Evangelist and pours out his troubles to him. Evangelist joints out the wicket gate to Chri- tian. He runs toward it with joy n his heart and the third part closes ■vitli a note of song. Dean Shirley’s interpretation of his work is very vivid and striking. I'he keen interest manifested at this firrst recital is certain to last hrough the Lenten season. MR.
