No. 26 New York, Sept. 22.—The French republic has negotiated with a syndicate of American bankers a loan of $100,000,000, running for twenty-five years, and bearing interest at the rate of 8 per cent. per annum, according to official announcement made recently from the office of J. P. Morgan & Co., head of the syndicate. The terms of the loan do not differ materially, except in the date of maturity, from the forecast printed a little more than a week ago. A chief of the loan as finally concluded is that of redemption. Under the loan contract, the French government agrees to pay annually to J. P. Morgan & Co., as trustees, not less than $4,400,000, to be applied to the purchase of the bonds up to and including 110 per cent, and accrued interest. During the first five years these payments are to be made in quarterly instalments, and thereafter in semi-annual instalments. After the five-year period $4,000,000 or more of the bonds will be called yearly for redemption at 110. A syndicate composed of thirty-five banks and banking houses is offering the issue for subscription at par and accrued interest to yield 8 per cent. The subscription books will not be opened formally until Thursday, but it is known that a very large number of subscriptions have been received. A feature of the subscriptions sent in was the very large volume of small subscriptions of $100 and $500, insuring an exceptionally wide distribution for the loan. The bonds will be dated September 15, 1920, and mature on September 15, 1945. Their principal, premium and interest are payable in United States gold coin without deduction for any French taxes, present or future. The proceeds of the loan will be used to aid France in liquidating her share of the Anglo-French loan, which matures on October 15. That loan, amounting to $500,000,000, is a joint obligation of France and England, each of these countries being liable for the payment of $250,000,000 at this time. The entire British share will be paid off at maturity, a large number of the bonds having been purchased already in the market. The balance of France's share, amounting to $150,000,000, will be liquidated by the shipment of gold, the first of which has been sent from Havre, and by the use of credits established in this country by the sale of francs in this market. It is estimated that from $50,000,000 to $75,000,000 of gold will be sent here, while from $75,000,000 to $100,000,000 will be taken care of by the purchase of dollar exchange. The loan was negotiated by the French government through Maurice Casenave, director of the French services in the United States, and Jean Parmentier, director of the French ministry of finance. The latter came to this country a few weeks ago and alced M. Masenave in carrying through the loan negotiations. Those two French agents were assisted by Jean Bloch, Jean de Sieyes and other representatives of the French government here. Hartford, Sept. 22.—To complete the party ticket in Connecticut for which the national convention in Chicago provided the standard bearers, the republican state convention began recently its session in Foot Guard ArmoryUnited States Senator George P. McLean, as temporary chairman, made the keynote address. Reviewing the opportunities of the democratic party, he said: "A great crisis will make a great man of an ordinary one, provided he happens to be in the right place and is willing to seek and follow unprejudiced advice. Mr. Wilson may be a great man in many respects, but the records show that he failed as soldier, as statesman and as peacemaker. Mr. Wilson had the opportunity of a century and threw it away. Moreover, republicans were never in a position to prevent his ultimate success had he deserved it. As soldier, they stood as close, if not closer, to his sword arm than did democrats. As statesman, republican opposition would have added to his glory if he had possessed the vision and spirit of true staesmanship. As peacemaker, he had the sympathy and good wishes of all men everywhere, including the prostrate enemy." Senator McLean discussed the peace treaty, saying that he was one of those who believed that wisdom and duty lay between the extremes as represented by the document in its exact terms and the proposal to reject it entirely. He said there was ample room for honest difference of opinion, and believed then, and still believes, that "the crude and dangerous proposals in Mr. Wilson's league and treaty can be so modified by amendment and reservations that no injury will result to the United States." SENSATIONAL STUNT TO BE PULLED OFF BY PARLSIANS SENSATIONAL STUNT TO BE PULLED OFF BY PARLSIANS · (Special to the Tribune) (Speech to the Tribute) Paris, Sept. 22—Coal shortage or not, Parisians will be able to keep warm at least temperamentally this winter if the plans of a prominent theatrical producer do not miscarry. Seeking something that will make the rest of the world stare in amazement, as well as fascination, he has decided to have a new dance written in which Andre Brule will dance the steps of a seduction waltz before a huge platter on which will repose a beautiful but absolutely naked woman. Rumor has it that Agnes Souret, who is said to be France's most beautiful woman, has been offered this enticing role, but that she has refused. FRANCE WILL SEND MORE GOLD TO U. S. Paris, Sept. 22.—France will continue the shipments of gold mixed with American dollars to the United States until the necessary $150,000,000 is in the hands of J. P. Morgan & Co. for the payment of France's share of the Anglo-French loan, it was authoritatively stated here recently. In that connection French bankers report unusual activity in the foreign exchange market as it relates to dollars, many brokers purchasing American exchange, it is believed, as a result of efforts of the French government to retain gold on this side of the Atlantic. Certain high officials here are complaining that those government efforts alone are calculated to stimulate speculation and to stress depreciation of the franc. The Intransigeant criticises Frederic Francois-Marsal, minister of finance, for his statement that there would be extensive gold shipments to the United States by the Bank of France, asserting that this gold is "essential as a guarantee of our bank notes." Some other French newspapers express the opinion that the interest and amortization charges on the new French loan are too severe, even though a gradual improvement in French exchange rates is envisaged.

COOLIDGE DENIES ISOLATION POLICY IN RECENT ADDRESS Portland, Me., Sept. 22.—The assertion that the republican party stands for a foreign policy based upon recognition of the fact that the United Staes is not isolated was made here recently in an address by Gov. Coolidge of Massachusetts, republican candidate for vice-president. "Ever since this nation was established, ever since it adopted as its emblem the splendor of the rising dawn," Gov. Coolidge said, "It has never been isolated. All the earth has turned to that vision of hope. Not isolated, but independent, free, rendering service to all mankind not on compulsion but in response to the national conscience. The republican party resents the imputation that it seeks to do any less than render that service now. By its history, by its platform, by the solemn assurances of its candidate it completely refutes that charge. "I believe humanity would welcome the creation of an international association for conference," he added, "and a world court whose verdicts upon justiciable questions this country, in common with all nations, would be willing and able to uphold. The decision of this court or the recommendation of such a conference could be accepted without sacrificing on our part or asking any other power to sacrifice one iota of its nationality." Sees Maine as Test Ground. Gov. Coolidge paid tribute to Maine as a frontier state, saying that "as the nature of your development made you a frontier state so the date of your staet election puts you on the frontier of American politics and makes you politically a pioneer state. Here the great parties meet in their first test of strength. Because of the intelligence, loyalty and patriotism of your citizens, because of the enlightened conscience of your people, there is no place where such a test would have greater significance." He referred to "the eminent men" who have represented the state in national affairs—to Dingley, Hale, Frye, Reed and Blaine, and said: "Tresse men believed in the development of the material resources of the nation, and they believed the business of the nation ought to be owned not by the government but by the people. They believed the only safeguard of liberty was not in personal but constitutional government. They believed in America for Americans. But they knew that the destiny of our country could not be separated from the destiny of the world, and that America could not be America unless it bore FLURIBUS UNUM Hard Politics, but Not Here PROVE THAT OR CLEAN IT OFF! its share of the burdens of civilization, unless it was forever responsive to the conscience of mankind. * * * America as they knew and loved her never was and never can be isolated from the great human interests of the world." Discussing the refusal of the United States senate to ratify the peace treaty with the covenant of the League of Nations as submitted by the president, Gov. Coolidge said: "In general the objection was the reluctance to incur either legal or moral obligations binding our government to act in accordance with decisions not made by itself. It was the desire to retain unimpaired the traditional policies, like the Monroe Doctrine, and the independence of action of America." Never Opposed Principle of League Discussing reservations adopted in the senate, he said that the president had rejected them and that Gov. Cox had announced that he favored "going in." The republican party, on the contrary, he added, by its history, by the record of its senators who "twice voted to ratify the league with reservations," by the declaration of its platform approving the conduct of its senators, and by the statement of Senator Harding, was not opposed to the principle of the League of Nations. He contended that when Senator Harding, in discussing on August 28 the league and the Hague tribunal, said he "would take and combine all that is good and excise all that is bad from both organizations, he made a statement broad enough to include the suggestion that if the league has been so entwined and interwoven into the peace of Europe that its good must be preserved in order to stabilize the peace of the continent, then it can be amended or revised so that we may still have a remnant of world aspirations in 1918 built into the world's highest conception of helpful co-operation in the ultimate realization." Distinguished Visitors Rev. R. L. Pope, presiding elder of the Rocky Mountain district of the A. M. E. church, and Rev. W. H. Thomas, pastor of Shorter chapel, A. M. E. church at Denver, formerly pastor of Allen chapel at Kansas City, Mo., were in Phoenix last week visiting their former members, Mrs. Cora Smith and niece, Miss Ruth Lacy and Mr. and Mrs. R. F. Rodgers. They had breakfast with Mrs. Smith, after which they were given a ride through the principal streets of the city and to places of interest in the suburbs. They were later entertained at an informal dinner by Mr. and Mrs. R. F. Rodgers at their home, 547 East Jefferson street. They left the following morning for California and Utah where they will spend a few days before returning to their home in Denver, Colo. TRIBUNE COOLIDGE SAYS COX IS TRYING WARD POLITICS Boston, Mass., Sept. 22—Assertion that Governor Cox, after attempting the role of an idealist, had turned to the coarse methods of ward politics, resorting to wilder and wilder charges, was made recently by Gov. Coolidge, the Republican vice-presidential candidate. The governor, addressing the Republican state convention, said the Democratic nominee was named by a convention in which "idealists had very little influence." "Yet," he added, "after receiving a baptism of idealism at the White House he attempted for a time the role of an idealist. He was to be the apostle of the 'great and solemn referendum.' His address of acceptance started that way. "But the success has not been marked. Soon the methods of ward politics prevailed. To that eminent valetudinarian in the White House, a master of logical expression, correct of style, always dignified, as he has behold his exponent resorting to coarser and coarser methods, wilder and wilder charges, the referendum must for him become solemn and more solemn. "Ideals are projected by the surroundings no less than the man. Lincoln had Garrison, Sumner, Steward, Stanton, Grant and Farragut. He spoke with their voice no less than his own. "When both the background and the man are wanting, what chance is there for ideals? "The Republican party has not been, is not lacking in idealism, either in its history, purposes or leaders. Who can name an established ideal they have not cherished. There is none. It has furnished four-fifths of the states necessary to enroll the idealism of the nation in the public service through equal suffrage. Through the ages woman had been natural counselor of man. In her solicitude for the welfare of her children, she is the idealist of the world. She is destined to walk hand in hand with Republican purposes to the glory of our nation." PHOENIX WELCOMES GOVERNOR COX All Phoenix joined in welcoming Governor Cox of Ohio, Wednesday, Sept. 22, on the occasion of his visit to the Salt River valley. Governor Cox is a pleasing speaker, gifted in the art, and withal entertaining. He spoke to a crowd variously estimated at between 15,000 and 20,000 people, at the State Fair grounds. He promised to continue the Wilson form of government, which statement caused a ripple of applause from a small group of democratic cohorts who evidently were satisfied with the present dynasty. A jinx seems to be following the Democratic candidates. Franklin D. Roosevelt narrowly escaped serious injury in an airplane several weeks ago, and Wednesday, as the Cox special was speeding towards Prescott, the rails spread and four cars of the train left the track. None of the party was seriously injured, but all were given a good shaking-up. The train was re-routed over the Southern Pacific to Deming, N. M., where they will be transferred to the Santa Fe and proceed to Albuquerque, N. M. We are pleased to have had Governor Cox with us and trust he will never forget his trip into Arizona and the thrilling experience afforded. LEADS WESTERN CONFERENCE Leading the entire Western Conference. That is the good news Rev. Thompson brings to Phoenix from the semi-centenary celebration of the C. M. E. church, recently held in Birmingham, Ala. In addition, though the C. M. E. church of Phoenix ranks third compared with all the churches under Bishop Phillips' jurisdiction, Cleveland and Indianapolis being first and second. Rev. Thompson will preach his farewell sermon before attending the annual conference in El Paso, Sunday evening. His subject, "The Increasing Burning Fire of God on the Altar." Sunday morning his subject will be "Partnership with God." Everybody welcome. Miss Susie Brown of La Grange, Ga., sister-in-law of Rev. Thompson, is a recent arrival in the city. BLACK MAN WILL RUN FOR GOVERNOR STATE OF ARKANSAS BLACK MAN WILL RUN FOR GOVERNOR STATE OF ARKANSAS Little Rock, Ark., Sept. 22.—T. J. Terrall, secretary of state, Tuesday night announced that the name of J. H. Blount, Negro, of Forest City, will appear on the ballot in the November election as candidate for governor. His announcement followed a conference Tuesday at which he and State Attorney Arbuckle heard arguments of representatives of both the regular Republican organization of the state and of the Negroes who bolted the Republican state convention last spring. At this conclusion the attorney general expressed the opinion that Blount was entitled to make the race as an independent and Secretary Terrall announced that he could certify Blount's name, provided the certification was in regular form. Scipio A. Jones, local colored lawyer, who represents Blount, said that Blount is making the race with the sole object of polling more votes than Wallace Townsend, regular Republican nominee for governor. Jones said the Negroes were, in effect, ruled out of the Republican party at the last state convention and that they wished to prove to the Republican national committee that they make up the bulk of the Republican voters in Arkansas. FIRST CLASS CAFE TO BE OPENED HERE ABOUT OCTOBER 1ST FIRST CLASS CAFE TO BE OPENED HERE ABOUT OCTOBER 1ST At last Phoenix will have a first-class restaurant for colored people. Mr T. A. Gaillard, an enterprising race man, who for the past ten years has been a steward in the dining-car service for the Santa Fe and Fred Harvey system, is the man who will give. Phoenix this much needed institution. The place will be known as Gaillard's Cafe and is located at 221 East Madison street. All new fixtures are being installed and when completed will be the finest place of its kind between Los Angeles and Denver. There will be seven tables at which twenty-eight people may be seated and a lunch counter where eleven people may be served at the same time. There is ample room for more tables and if the business warrants it, others will be added. Mr. Gaillard stated that he intends to make this a place where men will delight to bring their wives and children and have the sats isfaction of knowing that nothing will be done or said that will offend. It is designed to be conducted strictly along first-class lines in every particular. Mr. Lewis Wright will have charge of the kitchen and his five years' experience with the Fred Harvey people insures first-class service in this line. Mr. Gaillard stated that the place will be open for the general public on or about October 1st. While it is intended primarily as a first-class cafe for colored people, they also will cater to the general public and all who conduct themselves properly will be received with cordiality. It is the plan of the management to specialize in club parties, family dinners, private dinner parties and the like. Any who desire a special dinner or wish to entertain guests in elegant style, are requested to see Mr. Gaillard and he will arrange everything to your entire satisfaction. He stated that his chief delight was to arrange banquets, special dinners, etc., and that he would give all requests for same his personal attention. Ladies will be employed to serve and the management has secured a corps of capable, efficient and courteous waitresses who will greet you on the opening date and be ready to serve you in grand style. For many years Phoenix has needed an institution of this character, and now that it is about to obtain one, marks a great step forward. All members of the race who have an ounce of race pride in their make-up will support this enterprise whole-heartedly. We predict success for the venture from the opening date and know there are hundreds of people in this community who welcome this news. Watch for opening announcement. 5 Cents a Copy; $2.50 a Year 250 CONVERTS IN BAPTIST REVIVAL AT TAMPA, FLA (By Associated Negro Press) Tampa, Fla., Sept. 22.—Perhaps the largest baptismal class ever held in the city gathered on Spring street at the river, Sunday, when Rev. O. W Bartley of the Bowman M. E. church administered the sacrament to 135 colored people. Rev Bartley was assisted in the rites by his brother, Rev Bartley of Palatka. The ceremonies took place at the foot of Kay street, where hundreds of spectators, both white and colored, had collected to view the proceedings. The entire class was baptized without mishap, though many exhibited some slight reluctance at the prospect of the immersion. Inspired by the sight, several hundred of the spectators professed their willingness to join the church, and 250 converts were admitted. Following the baptismal ceremonies proper, the candidates were taken to Bowman M. E. church, where the fellowship rites were conferred. Owing to the size of the class, the fellowship ceremonies took place in the open air, a special permit having been granted for the proceedings. Rev Bartley is well known in colored ecclesiastical circles, having been in the city in charge of his flock for ten years. He is largely responsible for the completion of the Bowman church which, prior to his advent, had rested in an incomplete state for many years. Due to his energetic efforts the church was completed and has done a fine work here in Tampa. MAINE ELECTIONS SPELL VICTORY FOR PARTY, SAYS HAYS (Special to the Tribune) New York, Sept. 22.—William H. Hays, chairman of republican national committee, commenting on the election results in Maine, said: "Maine has pointed the way. The result gives the greatest reassurance to all well wishers of good government regardless of party affiliations. "The north star of the union remains undimmed. "Maine continues American. "This overwhelming republican victory unmistakably evidences the demoralization of the democratic organization, the repudiation of the administration of their leader, Woodrow Wilson, and the complete condemnation of the campaign conduct of Candidate Cox. "The women, too, have demonstrated their dependability in this crisis. It means much for the welfare of the republic." HARDING IS 3 TO 1 FAVORITE OVER COX HARDING IS 3 TO 1 FAVORITE OVER COX (Special to the Tribune) New York, Sept. 22—Big changes in the election betting in Wall Street occurred recently as the result of the overwhelming victory of the Republicans in the State of Maine. The odds on Senator Harding, Republican candidate for the presidency, shot up to 3 to 1, and some wagers were said to have been made at odds of 4 to 1. These are the highest odds which have prevailed since the betting on the present campaign began. W. L. Darnell & Co., who are handling election bets in the financial district, reported yesterday a wager of $9,000 to $3,000 on Harding. Several thousand more which this company offered at the same odds went begging. Cox money was exceedingly scarce after the Maine election figures became known, and the most persistent followers of Cox, with one or two exceptions, were holding out for 4 to 1. Darnell & Co. are offering 7 to 5 that Harding will carry Ohio, but found no takers yesterday. Even money, was being offered that Harding will get more votes in Greater New York than will Gov. Smith in running for re-election. Nathan L. Miller, Republican nominee for governor, was a slight favorite yesterday over Goc. Smith, odds of 6 to 5 being offered against the present incumbent. At the beginning of the campaign Gov. Smith was a 2 to 1 favorite. Arizuna’s Greatest.

Cameron, Republican candidate for the United States Sen- ite, will receive the united support of the colored voters throughout the state id his election is practically assured. We also believe that through the mion of our forces, Arizona’s political complexion can be changed and that she will be one among the group of western states that will give Harding a jajority in the November election.

He was jealous of his country’s honor, proud of its traditions, zealous in the maintenance of its integrity and inde- pendence, He labored incessantly to promote that national unity which he believed to be one of the safeguards of the Republic; and his faith in Washington's Farewell Address and in the Monroe Doctrine was such that he regarded strict adherence to the in- Junctions of both as the two great bul- warks of our national existence. If it were necessary to prove these asser- | tions, columns could be quoted from his writings and speeches in support thereof. But one has only to mention the name of Theodore Roosevelt to bring before the mind a picture of a United States strong, self-reliant and | independent. | Roosevelt’s Position Clear. | One does not have to ponder long to | ‘reach a conclusion, therefore, where | Roosevelt would stand if happily he | were among us today. The man who in 1916 avowed that the supreme na- | tional need was the overthrow of Wil- | sonism and all that Wilsonism repre- sents would have a mighty well-defined | position in the fighting today if he | were with us, and he would not be | ranged on the side of Governor Cox. | ‘The man who, though age was ereep- | ing upon him, demanded as his right | that he be sent across to face with the | two hundred thousand men that clam- | ored to accompany him, the German menace; and who grimly laid down the | plea that by bis end on the field of | battle the drooping morale of the en- | tente forces might be revived, though | the death of a former President of the United States would haye had little in ‘common with a candidate whose news- papers proclaimed sixteen months aft- er the sinking of the Lusitania, that | “The German U-boats have committed no crime against us.” Remember in what stirring words Roosevelt denounced the Lusitania sinking, and how, throughout all that drab period of American neutrality, his powerful voice rang through the land awakening the patriotism of our people to the culmination in April, 1917, when even Mr, Wilson finally | was compelled to face the inevitable, | Phere is no law against Governor | Cox's use of Colonel Roosevelt's name. Nor is there any law on the statute books providing for the crimes whieh are committed in the name of progressiveness for which Colonel Roosevelt stood. There are Napoleons: of finance, of wheat, of oil and of Industry, but there was only one Na- poleon. ‘There are Jimmies and Ed- dies and Harries, but there was only | one Teddy. the facts about sex, You can do this through quiet talks, books and pamph- lets. ‘Ignorance bréeds disease.’ This is especially true of that group kaown as venereal diseases.” Do these things and any others that may suggest themselves and thus do your shafe in winning the war against the most territie, persistent, and in- sidious foe that has ever attacked the human race, and one that is reaping @ harvest in deaths, economic loss, mental anguish, blighted hopes, brok- en hearts and saddened homes that is scarcely equaled by all other causes combined.

L. S., Society Editor Off to Texas . Mrs. 'R. Duncan of Houston, Texas, who for the past few months has been visiting Mrs. Bllen Williams and daughter, Mrs. A. Stewart, of 238 West | Jackson street, will leave Saturday for home. She will be accompanied by Mrs. Williams and they will spend a few days in Tucson, and also visit friends in San Antonio, Texas, before going to Houston. Home From Oklahoma ‘Mrs. S. W. Thompson returned last week from Oklahoma, where she spent several months visiting relatives and friends. She visited Ardmore, Boley, Tulsa, Oklahoma City, Muskogee and _a number of other smaller towns. She also spent much time in the country surrounding these towns and reports that the Oklahoma farmers are in cloyer this year. Eine homes, auto- mobiles, fat cattle, bumper crops are some of the things of which they boast, and Mrs, Thompson says they are rolling in wealth. She is anxious to return and enjoy more of the Okla- homa brand of hospitality. One col- ored man in Oklahoma City owns one thousand acres of rich farm land, all under cultivation, and he resides in the city in an $80,000 home. He is reputed the wealthiest Negro in the state. Mrs, Thompson says it is a revelation to tehold his beautiful man- sion and the well kept grounds that surround it. The farm homes in that section also are very pretty. Mrs. | Puompeon says the Oklahoma farmer takes more pride in his home than the average Arizonan who resides in the city. Oklahoma will not find a more | enthusiastic booster than Mrs. Thomp- | Son, and if all Arizonans will ‘heed her advice, they will sell their hold- ‘ings here and go to Oklahoma, where opportunity and riches abound. She also spoke of the many business en- terprises owned and operated by col- ‘ored people in that section of the ‘country. Oz some of the principal [streets, for several blocks, there is a ‘solid mass of colored business estab: Hebapents and Mrs. Thompson says they are doing a good busixfess. Mrs, Franklin Returns Prominent among the returning va- cationists last week was Mrs. M. C. Franklin, who the past three months has been visiting relatives and friends in Texas and Oklahoma. She, too, is ‘an enthusiastic booster for Oklahoma and believes it has d shade over Ari- zona. Mrs, Young Returns Among the arrivals from Oklahoma this week was Mrs. D, W. Young, who spent several months with. relatives and friends in Eufaula and other cities. She is even more enthusiastic in her praise of Oklahoma than either Mrs. Thompson or Mrs. Franklin. She wanted ‘to stay until Christmas and enjoy one more old-fasihoned Yule- ‘tide on the farm. Her sons and her father are farming near Eufaula and she says they have bright prospects for an abundant harvest, To hear her tell of the prosperity everywhere aparent among the farmers of that section, would induce John D. to abandon his New York office and take up his residence in Oklahoma, Sunday Services Good Regular services were conducted Sunday at Tanner chaped, A. M. E. chureh, and there was a large attend- ance. The pastor delivered two able and instructive sermons that were well received. The collection for the day was $43.40.

Mrs. McKinney can best tel] about this front porch reception. It was long past the hour for adjourn- ment before such a thing was thought of, and then not until Mrs. W. H. King said: “My doors will stand ajar for the club Thursday night, Sept. 23, at | sos South Montezuma avenue.” |Home From Litchfield Mr. and Mrs. I. MePinion returned last week from Litchfield, Ariz., where they have been the past two or three months in the employ of the South- west Cotton company.
