and Rosen returned to hotel for

overpowered by the tremendous Ova>
ton he received. He could only ex-
press his gratitude by shaking the
hands of everybody, and in response to
a volley of questions fired at him as to

had been upon their shoulders. Sol

as they entered the hotel and the
sounds of jubilation greeting them on
every side did not shut out from their
thoughts the home country and pos

news of the sacrifice that had been
made for peace. Neither plenipOtenti-
