Viviani when h- saw President Harding yester day made an impassioned appeal that this couniry should cotne to th aid of Europe to prevent utter collapse there Jtf. Viviani is a threat orator and he painted in most eloquent and moving words the desperate situation in whirh France rinds it is faring ruin and unable lo collect damage from Germany. France has been counting upon the $5,000,000,000 reparation!-; winch are due under th treaty on May 1. tier many has said she cannot pay. France'? budget exceeds enormously her revenue. Last year she sold bonds to meet the deficit. This year she cannot do so. Viviani plea had not hlng to do with the cancellation of debts. It is .understood that the concrete sugges tion he hail to make was the creation of a credit for Germany in this coun try which would flow from this country to Germany and thence to France to, meet the first five billions reparations which come due on May 1. M. Viviani described France as bled white by the war. He spoke of her as bearing the full brunt of the great war which saved ci viliza' ion. He describ ed her as being still the outpost of civ. ligation. He described the dangers to the world that would follow the collapse of France, the threat of Russian com munism and possibly bolshevism. The effect .of what he said is described as profound. If such a credit as is suggested above is impossible France has accomplished the purpose of getting Its case for this country's sympathy before the admin istration. Morally in view of what has been said It becomes more difficult for this country to make a separate peace with Germany and to pase the Knox resolution. A Different Situation. Also when France is forced to take new coercive steps against Germany after May 1 on the ground that the present measures to compel Germany, to pay it will be difficult for this country to assume a critical a'titudc It becomes increasingly apparent that M. Vivianfs visit here is a part of a program which has been the constant larger aim of French diplomacy ever since the signing of the treaty of Ver sailles and that is to prevent France's becoming isola'en in her policy toward Germany, Every move she has made, her alliance with Poland, her relations with the Balkan states, ner constant maneuvers with respect to Grt-at Brit inn, has had' this one object. And now 'hat the l'nited Staes has a new administration and fcae.- the problem Of Kuropp anew France i prompt to cultivate the sympathy or this country. Her po'ley with respci lo Germany becomes increa singly difficti't as i is steadily dawning upon th" allied mind that even though Germanv can pay the allied countries cannot afford to tak. payment in the only practicable way by means of goods What wMI he the next Step In French policy wln-n it Is dem onstrated that the recent military move in Germany i? unproductive as a means of collecting reparations is not dis closed.

The Wom an's Missionary union convention, which has. been In session in the First Baptist church of this city since Tues day night, adjourned tonight without a meeting place for the next session a year hence. The matter of select ing a place waa left to the executive com mittee. The convention has grown so large and the housekeepers' problems have grown so acute that no town or city dared to Invite it. The constitution was changed so that in the future the representation will be greatly reduced. Only one delegate from each society will be allowed. The latest regis t ration shows 63 delegates and 72 visitors at ihis ses sion, hut scores of visitors failed to register. While the homes of Kooky Mount have been taxed to take care of so nrniy. yet their hospitality has. been unbounded. This has been a great i on vent ion in every way.

Director Rountree said today that Genera Pershing had taken their in vitation under advisement and another delegation from North Carolina wilt come to extend an invitation to Vice President Coolldge. He also said the committee had the tentative promise that two cabinet offl cers would attend the Greensboro con vention. "We are not ready to announce the names of these two cabinet officers, because they are not definite.'- said Colonel Rountree. "We hope that will be one of the surprises of our conven tion. "I think we will get two members or the cabinet and we will know defi nitely about this as soon as Congresa meets. it these olTicers are not re quired here before some committee of Congress they are coming. We can t call names yet. Colonel Rountree said that Senator Simmons had assured him that unless the finance committee Is in session at the time of the Greensboro meeting the norm Carolina senator will attend. It Is probable that the cabinet offl cers who eventually may accept the invitation will Include Herbert Hoover. secretary of commerce, and that either secretary Wallace or the acting Secre tary or the navy, Theodore Roosavelt, will go down.

James Cardinal Gibbons, archbishop of Haiti more, was burled today with all the honors that the Roman Catholic church could bestow on one of Its princes.

Ex - Emperor Charles' HeneaTitnal Kaater out ing to Mudui est was the fulfillment of a promlae made to the primate of Hun gary several months ago. and reported al the time by your correspondent. It was u ndertn ken without the con nivance of Admiral Horthy, the Hun garian regent, and the ministers, who, though staunch monarchists, judged the. time not ripe for the exile's re turn. Charles, however, was too impatient to wait lunger, and, eagerly adopting the counsels of his light-hearted en tourage, embarked on the mad adven ture, thereby probably forfeiting what ever chances he may have had of re galning the throne. An authentic account of Charles' flight from Switzerland was given your cnrrfHpondent by a personage initiated into the secret of the castle at Pran gins, the beautiful residence on L.ake nea uonaparte rnmny, wnerw ins fallen Hapsburg ruled with his beauti ful wife and pretty children lived in apparent reil gnat ion and rctiremeiM from the world of politics.

It is believed the federal authorities at Heme will refuse to readmit Charles Into Switzerland. When he sought refuge in Swltrtrland he pledged him telf to refrain from all political activ ity. This royai promise he has broken ;md his use of false passports In cross ing the Swiss frontier is another of ((nse which the federal government will hardly be able to overlook.
