Within the last few days the dilapIdated tene-
ment house at No SO Beach-st has become q
mecca for Scandinavians To one ignorant OF
its traditions the cause of a pilgrimage to such
place must be a dark mystery. Surely, No. Sc
has little to attract the eye or inspire the soul
of visitor Dirty children are playing hide
and-go-seek In its halls Some pale-faced
mothers, with babies in their arms sit on the
steps in the hope of breathing cooler air. Piles
OF mattresses and other bedclothing are hang
ing from upper windows. Heavy trucks clatter
past ever the cobblestones. Such is No SO
Beach-st.
The tenants thought at first. with the increas-
ing number of visitors. that some syndicate was
looking the old structure over with the purpose
OF erecting a modern office building in It's stead.
But what they could least understand the
language the newcomers used.

The KeMSargc Returns from Ger

"wherever the American flag and the royal
standard meet they will together symbolize

The words were those of the Emperor of the
Germans and he uttered them at Kiel few
weeks ago, when guest of the American Navy

the striking incidents of the most auspicous
visit On American fleet ever paid to the powers
U Europe.
Since then there have been incidents assuring
lie friendship and GOOD will of King Edward of
The Britons, for the ship sailed for Portsmouth
shortly after the dinner to the Kaiser. Admiral
rotton then transferred his flag from the Kear-
.,ree to the cruiser Chicago, and went off to
pay a visit to the King of Portugal The Kear-
sarge mighty fighter that she is, started under
Captain Hemphill for the battleship record IN
Z race against time across the Atlantic.
While nothing could have been more cordial
,han the treatment which the fleet received in
English waters the visit to the great German
hawai- headquarters was full of incidents OF sur
