Atlanta, Ga, Feb. 1S.--News service into the South was badly hampersd to- day by the sieet storm in the North. :.
 Although Southern wires, worked fairly we'll. the wires north Of the Ohio River were 10 interrupted as at times practically to cut the South cR from news communication with the rest of the world through the usual big news arteries.
 Communication between Chicago and New York was Intermittent and even when established was msintained only by the most citcuitons routing of wires. For q time the two big cities had much of their wire connection via Winnipeg. but even these wires failed at times.
 The stormy weather which is ad- vancing from the West is playing havoc with the great news channels of the country as we'll as with teleeraphie communication in general. Chicago Is we'll nigh Isolated. and only spasmodic communication can be had with ths country north and west of Louisville. Kansas City and st Louis are tn the grasp of the storm and news and com. merciai communications which ordinar. fly travel only a few hundred miles gro being handled over circuitous routes many times the usual distance.

Mr. President and guests, and la
dies and gentlemen, l commend to you
as toastmaster of the evening the
nresident of the harbor commission.
Mr.. George Fl. Stewart
The mention of Toastmaster Stewards
name was the signal for a demonstra-
tion. The banqueters rose and cheered
him to the echo, waving him a salute
with their handkerchiefs. He had to
rap for order several times before the
assemblage was quieted. Toastmaster
Stewart. in the course of his remarks
reviewed briefly the annexation fight,
the growth of Los Angeles, the develop
ment of the San Pedro harbOr and out
lined briefly the future development of
Los Angeles. His remarks were pointed
at times and always fraught with
humor. His remarks seemed to please
the president and Mayor Alexander
for during the course of them both
laughed heartily.
Another demonstration which lasted
five minutes greeted Senator Flint as
he rose to speak on the subject of THE
President" Senator Flint said in part:

Angeles, for the privilege of having
with us the president of the United
States. The president is to be congrat-
ulated upon being given the opportuni-
ty of meeting the very flower of the
nation.
I'm his speech a few days ago. the
president stated that this country was
made up of people from every part of
the world; that they had left behind
them the bad and brought here the
good, and they made our patriotic
American citizens. But here our citi-
zenship is made up of the very best
from all the states of the Union. 50
we may say. without boasting. that
here can be found the highest type
of American men and women.
Here we have the best from the
states of Nebraska, Kansas, Iowa, the
Dakotas, Illinois, Indiana, and thou
sands who have left Ohio and aban-
doned all hope of the presidency that
they might live in this beautiful coun-
try of ours. Therefore, Mr. President
in giving you an opportunity to meet
these people you are to be congrat-
uated.

thoughts go back to the fourth day
of last March. to that memorable scene
