NEWS REVIEW OF CURRENT EVENTS Herriot Cabinet in Peril— Hindenburg Nominated by German Nationalists. By EDWARD W. PICKARD AT THIS writing the downfall of the Herriot government of France Is momentarily expected, because of the determined opposition in parlia ment to its financial plan. Already the premier has met defeat In the senate on a minor Issue, and though be was persuaded not to quit on that acconnt. It was believed the cabinet would soon be overthrown. Anatole de Monzle, the new minister of finance, offered to pa£ament his scheme for meeting the financial crisis. This, briefly. Is a camouflaged capital levy of 10 per cent on French wealth and an Increase of paper currency to the extent of 4,000,000,000 francs (roughly. $200,000,000). The levy Is disguised as a "voluntary contribu tion" in return for 3 per cent bonds, payments to be made at twenty-three month Intevals. Wage earners em ployed at physical labor and those drawing salaries below a fixed sum are exempt. All others must contribute 10 per cent of their wealth, under pen alty. The people of France as a whole did not seem especially opposed to this measure, but the finance committee of the chambers had many changes to offer and the opposition parties a% tacked the plan vigorously. The cur rency inflation is not considered so serious since the Bank of France al ready has issued more francs than the legal limit, but the "forced voluntary contribution" Is being fought especially by the nationalist bloc and the reac tionaries. M. de Monzle says he hopes to raise 15,000,000,000 francs ($750,- 000,000) during five years, which 1B only about 3 per cent of the nation's wealth, while an additional 1,000,000,- 000 francs ($50,000,000) would be pro duced annually because reduction of the floating debt would cut down In terest and carrying charges. Hundreds of Americans and English men who have established official resi dence In France in order to escape heavy income tax at home will be com pelled to contribute a tithe of their wealth unless they are able to transfer their holdings before the measure be comes operative—lf It ever does. The safes of the great gambling casinos on the Riviera and at Deauvllle also will be* tapped. Primarily the plan Is de signed to uphold the exchange value of the franc. For the present this Is be ing kept steady by the purchase of francs by the French government wlttt Morgan loan funds. The re-establish ing of the gold franc Is the ultimate aim of the government FIELD MARSHAL VON HINDEN BURG has accepted the nomination of the German Nationalists for the presidency, in opposition to Wilhelm Marx, nominee of the Republican coali tion and lAder of the Catholic Centrist party. Twice tbe old soldier declined tbe honor, partly because of his age and partly because be wanted Dr. Karl Jarre* to run. But tbe Nationalists compelled Jarres to withdraw from tbe campaign and obtained tbe in dorsement of tbe Hanoverian party, the bavarian People's party and tbe Economic party for tbe candidacy of the field marshal. Tbe German Peo ple's party, led by Doctor Stresemann, for some days threatened to break away from the Nationalist coalition if Von Hlndenburg were nominated, but It, too, finally yielded. Issuing this statement: "Despite our apprehenaions of Inter national and national difficulties which may result from the nomination of Oen von Hlndenburg, we will stand with him in the fight for his election for the sake of the bourgeois parties. W« will keep up the discipline of the party.* Von Hlndenburg still declares him self the "devoted servant" of former Kaiser William, and German Repub licans wonder bow, tf be is that and If be Is elected, be can swear an oath of-allegiance to the republic. His most p-— t T" supporters assert openly that they, as well as the field marshal, believe the idea of a monarchy is only slumbering In Germany and that the nation Is awaiting the day when a monarch shall preside over its des tinies. "For us all" they say, "the son of the crown prince will be the legal heir to the throne when he reaches his majority.*' This will be In 1927, so that is the date when the Nationalists expect the restoration. The way to It has been made clearer by the virtual renunciation by Crown Prince Uup precht of Bavaria of fils claims to the imperial throne He says north Ger many does not want a Catholic sov ereign, and that his health is broken. And then, on the other hand, all of these plans, hopes and discussions may be futile, for Marx may be elected president and the German republic may be continued Indefinitely. It Is announced that Germany's pay ments to creditor nations under the Dawes plan during March amounted to 91,601,000 marks ($22,923,500). Of this France received 37,900,000 marks and Great Britain 21,600,000. Total pay ments for the seven months the Dawes plan has been in operation have been $145,000,000. IVE her a good swipe now," said vJ Secretary of the Navy Wilbur to Mrs. Wilbur Tuesday at Camden, N. J., and the lady promptly smashed a bottle of mineral water on the bows of the largest airplane carrier In the world. The U. S. S. Saratoga there upon slid down the ways while whistles shrieked and aircraft swooped aloft. The Saratoga Is the biggest ship ever built In the United States and when completed will have cost $45,000,000. She will be the mother ship of 72 planes. 31 of which will be bombers. In addition she will carry great stores of parts and explosives and will have elaborate repair shops. Her huge elec tric motors will give her a speed of 30 knots, enabling her to forge far ahead of a battleship fleet. The turbine gen erators will supply 45,000 horse-power to each of the four screws. Admittedly something of an experi ment, the Saratoga Is looked on with scorn by Brig. Gen. William Mitchell, about to be retired from tlie post of assistant chief of the army air service Said be: "I could sink the Saratoga with a pursuit plane; I wouldn't even need a bomber. As a part of the national de fense (t is not worth considering. By this fall the building of aircraft car riers of that kind will be stopped. It is useless to build a carrier for air planes that can be sunk so easily. "The same thing goes for all battle ships. Look at the great fleet now at anchor on the Pacific coast, waiting to participate In tlie Hawaiian exer cises. They could be sunk to a ship within a few hours by a single squad ron of bombers. Holding maneuvers With battleships made obsolete by the airplane is Civil war stuff. It's ridicu lous." PRESIDENT COOLIDGE, a notable advocate of considerable silence, lets it be known that be would like a little more of that concerning several things. One of these is the matter of the French debt. He Is fully cognizant of France's financial troubles and tbere will be no attempt to force ber to dis cuss the war debt problem until she is In better position. Concerning the plans of the United States for calling another limitation of arms parley, also, there Is too much talk, the President thinks, in view of the fact that nothing definite Is planned for the lmuedlate future. Government official# uy that the many recent stories of the President'* extreme econoraj In the n.atter of bU clothing pnrcliaaea are not received kindly at the White House, and that moat of them are falae or misleading. Merchants In Washington had begun to fear that the example attributed to Ita. Coolldge would be followed by the society folk there and that the re-sol- Ing of shoes and the blocking of old hats would become "the thing." TURRET Is hsvlng a hair time sup pressing tbe revolt of the Kurds, who are determined to revive tbe cali phate and are all in arms. Sheik Said, their leader. Is said to have at least 30.000 fanstlcal followers and is hold ing s number of Important towns. Tbe government has offered a reward for his capture alive or dead and has sent soma 70,000 troops into Kurdistan. Complete mobilization has been or dered. Premier Isiuet Pasha admitting that the revolt Is much graver than newspaper reports have Indicated. CUMULATING the examples set by Mrs. Mae Nolan and Mrs. Julius Kahn. both of San Francisco, Mrs. Edith Nourse Rogers of Lowell, Mass., has announced her candidacy for the seat In congress left vacant by the death of her husband, John Jacob Itogers. She would continue the poli cies established by Mr. Rogers. XTAVT airplanes manned by volun- teer navy flyers will be a part of the Donald MacMlllon Arctic explora tion expedition that Is to start for the polar regions this summer, and the expedition, though a private enterprise, has the indorsement of President Cool ldge. The explorers will have the use of two planes of the amphibian type with a cruising radius of more than a thousand miles and a speed of 120 miles an hour. One of the chief objects of the ex pedition aside from scientific discovery, radio research and search for his torical data concerning the original landing of the Norsemen, will be the hunt for the unknown Arctic continent, an illusive domain which has been re ported several times by explorers, but never set foot on by man. MacMlllan's ships plan to leave Maine about June 15, and proceed northward, skirting the Labrador coast, then across Davis strait to the Green land shore. In Labrador and Green land the ancient Norse ruins will be explored to connect them, if possible, with Eric the Red. As soon as the ex ploring ship has pushed Its way north ward through Baffin sea and across Mellvllle bay to Etali in the far north, an attempt will be made to reach Axel Helburg land. Safely anchored there, it Is planned to establish the airplane base some 250 miles away from the ship at the northern point of. the land. Working from this advance base, the planes will strike first In the direc tion of Crockerland, the problematical continent of the Arctic. SPEAKING of the Arctic, Dr. Fred erick A. Cook, who said and still says lie discovered the North pole be fore Peary, left his home in Fort Worth, Texas, last week for a sojourn of 14 years la the federal penitentiary at Leavenworth. He was sentenced for fraudulent use of the malls and already bad spent 16 months In Jail. I'etitlons to the President asking par don for Cook are In circulation and many signatures bare been obtained POLITELY bat flrmly. President Coolldge refuses to reconsider bis award in the Tacna-Arlca dispute be tween Peru and Chile or to comply with the conditions asked by Peru, which Itfrluded the dispatch of United States forces to displace Chileans in control of the disputed territory until after the plebiscite is held. In bis reply to the Peruvians the President assures them that their Interests are fully safeguarded and that the powers of the pleblscitory commission beaded by General Pershing are ample AMONG tbe well known persons taken by death during the week were Mahomet All. former shah of Persia; Albert Dickinson, head ot a big grain and seed business In Chicago; Arcbbisbop Alexander Christie of tbe Roman Catholic archdiocese of Oregon City, Ore.; G. 8.

Seven countries will be represented by prominent men and It is hoped the gathering will take on much of the character and Importance of the Insti tute of Politics st 'Willlamstown, Mass., and will become a permanent forum of ail peoples of the Pacific.

Following an informal ruling that the 1925 statute placing dractlc restric tions around loans made to "officers and employes" of State banks applies to directors of such institutions. Chief Bank Examiner Clarence Latham has tailed for an official decision of the subject and Attorney General Dennis G. Brummitt and Assistant Attorney General Frank Nash now have the mat ter under consideration preparatory to writing a formal opinion. The new law, of which Senator T. L. Johnson, of Robeson, was the auth or, was designed to place the samd're strictlons that govern national banks around the State banks, and it is said that under the federal law directors are not regarded as officers and when the matter was under consideration In the General Assembly it was stated in committee and on the floor that direc tors would not be affected. The law stipulates that loans shall be made,to "officers and employes" only after a specific authority has been granted by the board of directors in each case and that the board of direc tors shall pass upon the sufficiency of the security. The Supreme Court has time and again ruled that the "intent" of the legislaturt shall be determined solely by the language of the statute rather than what was said about it by indi vidual legislators In debate of else where. The general banking act of 1921 gives color to both views. One of the subdivisions of the act Is entitled, "Officers and Directors," which would Indicate that they are regarded as be ing in separate categories. However, the act itself refers to the position of director as an "office." The act pre scribes bow a director shall qualify to hold "office" and declares that under certain conditions a director shall for feit his "office" and the other direc tors shall declare the "office vacated. Dry Agents Make D?g Hauls. Federal officers operating in North Carolina captured during the month of March, 77 distilleries and 161 stllla, according to a report being forwarded to Washington by A. B. Coltrane, Fed eral prohibition director for North Carolina, with headquarters In Salis bury. In addition to the stills 1.468 gallons of Intoxicating liquors were taken and 251,420 gallons of mash. Ten automo biles, six mules, three wagons and a eaeoUne engine were also among the property captured In raids. Estimated value of property seised and destroyed was $95,395 and that taken and not de stroyed was placed at $2,803. Arrests made numbered 101 and prosecutions returned total 246. People Pay Nearly Billion Inauranoa. Insurance placed In 1924 and con tinued in force from the previous year by North Carolinians totalled $836,- 902,718.46. an Increase of $91,426.- 927.11, representing 1,669,452 policies of all classes, figures made public by State Insurance Commissioner Stacey Wade show. The figures Indicate that every class of Insurance lnoreased its number of policy holders and Its total face value of policies. The outstanding fact disclosed Wjr the report Is the leadership of the Jef ferson Standard Life Insurance Oonv pany of Greensboro over all state and out of state companies In writing of new policies. Tha old line companies which were in operation before the Jefferson Standard exlated are far out stripped by the Greensboro concern which held the lead It ha* established In North Carolina during the previous year*. Total new Insurance written by the Greensboro concern amounted to $15,881,400. iu nearest competitor be ing the Metropolitlan Ufa with sll.- 300.31# The total amount of Insurance of all claases written, the report shows, waa $209,568,409.84 representing policies. This compared with $191,- 404,950.79 worth of Insurance written In the State daring 1923. The balance of the 1924 total of Insurance placed amounting to $816,902,719.44 was In policiea renewed.

In fect inn generally takes place in child hood. This infection, like all other germ infections, ran only happen if (here is « break somewhere In the skin or the lining of the body cavities! The mem brane which lines our nyse. mouth, throat, bronchial tubes and 1 lung spacer Is h continuation of the skin, and, like It, is not affected by ge'ruis, except as they can find an opening somewhere to allow them to enter- the substance of the body and begin to grow. Any break or tear lu this meml-rnne is just like an open gate In a city wall. It Is a gap through which the enemy can* enter. One of the earliest and most common signs of tubercular infection In children Is a swelling of the lymph glauds of the neck. The lymph glands of the body, which lie Just under the skin, are the Alters or drains which stop and hold any Infectious matter which may enter the body and so prevent it from reaching the deeper-seated vital or gans. They are the second line of de fense, like the street barricades which the defenders of a city would throw up to stop the enemy, after the gates had broken down. Now it has long been know that In muny. If not all cases of tubercular glands In the neolc, the teeth would be found to be decayed. Even If the de cayed teeth are pulled, Infection may enter through the holes left In the gums. If decay has gone far enough so as to kill the pulp In the tootli, the soft ening opens up the canals In the roots of the teeth and root abscesses may re sult. The tuberculosis germs may then pass from the root abscesses Into the Bne lymph vessels. The Orst lymph gland they come to catches and holds them. If they are few In number, they may be killed In the gland without do ing any harm. Bat If they are many, they make the gland work so hard that the glands become swollen and tender and finally break down and form little abscesses. Bad teeth or openings In the gums caused by bad teeth are Ideal breed ing places for the tuberculosis germ*, a* the warmth and moisture In the mouth gives them Just the conditions they need for growth. Sounl teeth and clean mouths are s protection against dl sense. Children especially should be taught to keep their mouths clean. Bad teeth should be removed or filled at once, not only to save the other teeth hut also to keep out any disease germs that may cause trouble In after life. CONTROLLING HAY FEVER IJ AY fever Is a disease wHlch Is not dangerous to life but which often makes the victim wish It was. It Is called hay fever, because the most common form comes In the early fall, during the baying season. Jusr how the idea originated that It had any connection with hay Is hard to see. Probably because people working In the hay fields were found to be espe cially subject to It. This Is not due to the bay but to the fact that many weeds, growing among the hay. be come ripe and throw off their pollen about haying tithe. These weeds, cut down with the hay and dried, ara raked up and handled In haying, so that the air In which the haymaker works Is full of dried pollen. The small, sharp-pointed seeds, drawn Into the nose In breathing, are extremely Irri tating and causa the well-known symp toms of constant sneeelng, congestion and obstruction of the noae, theo watery Irritating discharge. It was long ago noticed that theaa attacks happened at other times than the early fall. The ao-called "roae colds" occur In May and June Similar attacks may occur almost any time In the year. Ho It la not only the pollen of weeds at baying time which may cause tills condition, but any Ir ritating substance In the air. I have seen typical hay fever attacks In the middle ot the winter, due to breathing street sweepings blown about by the stray winds of January or February. I have also seen attacks brought on by breatldng formalin or formaldehyde Hay fever may be doe to the pollen laden air from the hay fields, but It may also be doe to many other rauaea. The principal cause la the Individual. A dozen people will breathe the same air under tha same condition, only one or two will show any discomfort. Those who do will be found to have two pecullarltlea: aome obstruction In their nose and a naaal mucous mem brane that is nnoaually sensitive. So long as there Is no Irritating sub stance In the air, they ara all right But If the air Is filled with pollen of rag weed, golden rod. Wild oat a, Ber muda graaa. aage braah or any of tha many Irritating seeds. Immediately tha sensitive victims begin to sneeze. We have learned much about this miserable ailment In lata year* and aow know that it la caused by many ktnda of daat. Instead of only by bay ased aa we formerly believed. Thousands Have Kidney Trouble and Never Suspect It Applicants for Insurance Often Rejected Judging from report* from druggiita who are constantly in direct touch with the public, there is one preparation that has been very auccesaful in overcoming the#e conditions. The mild and healing influence of Dr. Kilmer'* Swamp-Root is soon realised. It atands the highest for it* remarkable record of success. An examining physician for one of tha prominent Lift Insurance Companies, in an interview of the subject, made the as tonishing statement that one reason why so many applicants for insurance are re jected is because kidney trouble is so common to the American people, and the large majority of those whose applica tion* are declined do not even nuspect that they have the disease.

Physique Value When Frank A. Vunderllp wag pre siding over the largest financial Insti tution America lias ever known, the National City bank of New York, he said: "In picking a man for a highly re sponsible executive position, I always take Into account both his physical condition and his physique. Unless he has built up a strong, healthy body, I don't want him, because during the terrible stress and strain of a great crisis, when you need his services most, he Is likely lo cave In." — Hearst's International-Cosmopolitan.

First Salt Made in 1791 Louisiana has for years been a source of salt in the United States, the first crude refining having been done on a small scale In 1791 from the salt water springs In that state. The Indians found their salt In this way, however, long before the advent of the white man. In 1812 a more suc cessful method was worked out.
