' M COOLIDGE TALK CONDEMNED BY BRIT!SHPR ESS London News Scores U. S. - President' for Address at Cambridge Cause of Peace Not Served U. S. Chinese Policy Also Flayed. LONDON. July 6. (A. P.) The Daily News today takes issue with President Coolf rise's Cambridge ad dress. Such speeches do not serve the cause of peace and can do io good in America while in Europe they do positive harm, it s5ys, adding; "The implication In thland similar speeches appears to bej that love bf peace is almost exclusively an Amer ican virtue and that the enmities dis tracting Europe have their roots in a savage passion for war in itself. ''These enmities arise from no such thing but from Jealousies and fears from which America is free if she is free not owing to her own superior righteousness but simply through his torical and geographical accidents." Tlje paper contends that any Amer ican statesman prescribing for Europe ought first to master the faces and the symptoms of the case. ' ' "There is not a word in Mr. Cool idge's speech," it continues, "which suggests that ho has even tried to do this. . . . Such speeches are worse than useless. They are either exas perating - platitudes 'or else mean something which can only be guessed at. In which case they simply import another element of darkness and un certainty into a situation which is dark enough already." The Dally Telegraph finds a bone to pick with the United. States on another ground. It assumes that the American government is "insisting seduously upon immediate reform of extra-territorial rights In China," and argues therefrom: . , ; Washington has betrayed one more an unwillingness or Inability to grasp the larger aspects of tho Orien tal question. . . By making this de mand at this hazardous moment she (the United States) will assuredly be regarded as having at last thrown down the glove, for It Is obvious thai Japan would not merely suffer the most by such modification but in the present mood of the Chinese ehc would be so patently menaced that, pacific as her intentions are, she would be persuaded by the mere in stinct of self-preservation to take im mediate action."

Tho French military au thorities announced they have had "to take special measures." because tho hostility of a number of tribes along the eastern section has bocomo so pronounced. The French government announced Sunday night that the defections of Moroccan tribesmen, unfriendly to tho French had1 strengthened Ard-Kl-Krlm and given tho French a serious setback. PARI8, July 6. (A. P.) Hupreme command of the French forces oppos ing the Itlfftans in Morocco is to be taken from Marshal -Lyautoy, the gov ernor general, and entrusted to a gen eral who will leave Franco immedi ately for the front. ' This decision, which is subjected (o ratification, by the cabinet today was reached at a council of war held last night under the chairmanship of M. Palnlcve, the premier and war minis tor. Tho step Js being fitken, It Is ex plained to allow Marshal Iiutcy free dom for carrying out his political duties. The man selected for tho post is understood to be fJonoral Cullhiu hiut, commander in ctilef of tho allied operations in the Balkans during theH world war. & Dispatches from Fez yesterday rep resented the situation In a highly pes simistic light, with wholesale defec tions of hitherto friendly tribesmen and an Insufficiency of French troops to hold long against Abd-EI-Krlm' driven In the direction of Fox and Tana. This caused such a stir InJ'arts that Premier Palnleve Issued an explana tory note declarlntOthat "public opin ion ought not ifi allow itself to bo dis turbed by suoh episodes which are customary In. colonial wars." - The Impression prevails, neverthe less Ot hat Abd-Fl-Krim's offensive In developing upon a larger calo than any he has thus far attempted, calling for drastic action on the part of the PFrench command.
