CONSUL GENERAL
ON BICYCLE TRIP
Bv WILLIAM PHILIP sIMMS

By WILLIAM PHILIP SlMMS
paris correspondent of the United
Press).
Paris. March 31.-Scorning the au
tomobiles at their command, United
States Consul General and Mrs.
Alexander M. Thackera will leave
here shortly on six weeks cycle
trip of some 1900 or 1900 miles. The
American consul general, recently
transferred from Berlin to Paris, is
champion bicycle tourist OF the world,
court and diplomatic circle category,
while Mrs. Thackera is a close sec
ond, grown children Notwithstanding.
Even third assistant Secretary OF
State Alvey Augustus Adee, the only
other bike pushing statesman, is ap
parently outdone, for the consul gen
erals record on French roads alone is
over $1,000 miles.
For eight years the Thackeras were
stationed at Havre, where Mr.. Thack-
era was consul, and each of their va
cations was spent bicycle touring.
There are but two department in all
France umtracked by their wheels,
these being Brittany and. Calais.
Those who see the Thackeras only
at the brilliant state banquets and
receptions of official Paris, would not
recognize the distinguished couple in
I the very plainly dressed bikers of the
country roads, dusty and tired, but
happy. Tyrant Style sinks powerless
before them and Solid Comfort dis
| tates instead.
Before starting sn the long ride
1 the Thackeras always map out then
\ itinerary in every detail. This they
adhere to religiously throughout the
trip, taking their own time however
in covering the distances. Experienc.
gained on many such outings has
taught them exactly how much they
can do comfortably and just what t.

has been made the guest Of honor
at series of afternoon teas given
by women well known in society.
These functions have brought out the
fact that 'Jim'' is an inveterate
tea drinker and has been so for a

coming in the cool of the day and
through the magniicently long twi-
lights. Afterwards they have dinnes
at third inn, excellent and pictur-
esque as were the others. Finally
after stroll along the cool, silent,
shadowy, country road for breath
of the fine air and a glimpse at the
stars, they go early to bed and 4
ready, dreamless sleep. For during
the day they have covered some 35 tu
45 miles. 1t is a simple life! No
| Trouville or Deauville, the French
Newport, for them. No downy cush
ioned limousines. No brilliantly
lighted ball rooms, midnight suppers
composed of indigestibles, or gam
bling casinos at ultra-fashionable re-
sorts. Their whole vacation is given
up-not occasionally, but every year
to this mode of life.
"When we come Rack home," the
consul general told the United Press
correspondent, eve are both ready for
work, tell you. Nowadays most va
cations leave body less fit than
when he began it. We owe our good
health and digestion to our annual
bicycle tour. No automobiles for us.
We both fairly delight in the bicycle
mode of getting about, SO why give
it up? People wonder at us; they
seem to think it strange that we don't
tour in an automobile like everybody
else. But we don't see thing odd in
our way of taking vacation. It's
great. Pm going to get another
wheel, as Mrs. Thackera insists that
mine is bit shabby"
He said this with precisely the same
air as another man in his position
might have said that his wife in
sisted on a 1914 model automobile.
The work which Mrs. Thackera
does would break most any other
woman down in season. She heads a
dozen committees on various chari-
table and social works, leading in all
sorts of movements, advancing the in
terests of the American colony here
as well as attending official recep-
tions, banquets and balls and look
ing after her own household which,
as soon as suitable house can be
found, will be quite important in it.
self. For she is not only the wife of
the consul general at Paris but the
daughter of General William Tecum-
sch Sherman, which fact brings it's
duties also. The Thackeras in Ber-
lin were noted all over Europe as
keeping "open house TO a tremendous
circle of friends. hTe same thing
will be continued here.
Paris is. amazed at the thorough
democracy of the Thackeras; it is
also charmed. The colony is saying
that America has never had here a
more democratic representative. At
the same time the Thackeras main
tain this position with the greatest of
tact and dignity; in short, they have
made big hit here.

WalTenBeTg: Our cabinet, Ike It's
predecessor, has not deviated, nor
will il, from its old policy of neu-
trality. The dividing line between
the two cabinets consists only in the
technical question of the extension
of the period of military training. We
find that year is required for the
more or less satisfactory development
of the conscript; in other countries
this time is two or three times longer.
The military reforms now in prepara-
tion are not exclusively on account
of the fear of Russia, but are called
forth by the necessity of being ready
for all eventualities. What do /
think of Hedin's agitation? He is, it
seems, a sentimental person, and the
present leader of the foreign policy
can in no way be responsible for
Hedin's actions. To this l should

tionalist press assures the country
that Sweden already has entered into
an alliance with Germany and has
bound itself in the event of Rus
sian-German conflict to send troops to
Finland. The economic conditions
between Sweden and Russia, which
had improved steadily for several
years, already have felt the effect of
this view Of the situation. A Rus
sian newspaper has sent corresponds
ent to Sweden to gather information
from we'll known persons. Premier
Hammarskiold and Foreign Minister
Knut Wallenberg took advantage of
the opportunity to disclaim, on behalf
of the government, any cooperation
with Sven Hedin or participation in
his proposals. "The reports about a
Swedish alliance are false" said Mr..

Everyone is aware of the danger Of
Russian aggression, says a Stockholm
correspondent, and all are agreed
that Sweden must do something to
put her defenses in shape. Hjalmar
Branting, in a speech in Christiania
recently, expressed the willingness of
the Social Democrats to offer their
cooperation. However, owing to the
manner in which the Conservatives Of
Sweden during the last election, with
Sven Hedin as their foremost cham
pion, represented the matter and de-
scribed the Liberal government as
being friendly to Russia and faithless
to the motherland, because it did it's
best to maintain strict neutral pol
icy and wished to solve the question
of defense without panic, other coun-
tries have wondered if the new gov
ernment shares Hedin's plans. Sven
Hedin wants a coalition with Ger
