Here is the first stanza:
Books come and books go; some are

Some have bindings OF show and are

At THE SHRINE OF A POET
ProvencaI Women Of France Have
New Grace Because MIstraI
Sung Of Them.

Paris.-Frederic Mistral, who died
on March "a, was of course still alive
at the time of our visit to Aries, Al
bert Bigelow Paine writes In the Cen
tury. He was the light of modern
Provence. We began to realize some
thing of this when we saw the photo
graphs and various editions of his
poems in the windows Of Marseilles
and AK. and handbills announcing the
celebration, at st. Remy, of the fifth
eth anniversary Of Gounod's score of
Mistral's great poem, "Mireille."
But we did not at all realize the full
ness OF the Provencal reverence for
the master" as they call him, until
We reached Aries. To all Provence
Mistral is god, an Apollo, the "cen-
trail sun from which other Provencal
singers are as diverging rays" What
ever Mistral has touched is glorified
Provencal women walk with a new
grace because Mistral has sung Of
them. Green slopes and messy ruins
are viewed through the light of Mis-
trails song. A Mistral anniversary is
celebrated like Declaration of indie
pendence or Louisiana purchase.
They have even named a wind after
him. Or perhaps he was named after
the wind. Which ever way it was, the
wind has taken second place, and the
people smile tenderly now, remem-
boring the master, when his name is
mentioned.
He loved Provence. When he was
awarded the Nobel prize, he forgot
that he might spend it on himself and
bought and restored an old palace,
converting 1t into museum for Aries.
Then he devoted his time and ener-
gies to collecting Provencal relics and
today with its treasures and associa-
tons, the place has become a shrine.
Provence has produced other noted
men, among them Alphonse Daudet,
who was born just over at Mines, and
celebrated the town of Tarascon with
his "Tartarin." But Daudet went to
Paris. which was perhaps a sin. Not
but that Provence is proud Of Daudet
he, too, has statue. at Nimes-but
Provence worships Mistral.

FIRST FIGHT IN SENATE ON
 CLAYTON ANTITRUST BILL. Over Giving Private Parties Benefit of Decrees Won by the Government.

Washington. Aug. 1.-The first fight in the Senate on the Clayton anti trust bill began in earnest today over the question of giving private parties bringing damage suits against a trust the benefit of decrees won by the gov ernment in a successful dissolution suit against the same combination. Con- sideration of the bill had been simpli- fled by striking out the sections for bidding price discriminations and ex- elusive contracts. This was done by Senator Culberson at the direction of the judiciary committee so that the subjects might be dealt with excIus- lively in the trade commission bill now in conference.
 debate in favor of making a decree won by the government in a dissolu- ton suit conclusive as to all facts and law in issue in private suits for dam ages.
 The House bill contained such a provision but the senate judiciary committee doubting its constitutionali- ty changed it so as to allow the trust to introduce additional evidence and have the points reconsidered.
 Senator Culberson argued that in the endeavor ito put teeth" into the legislation there was danger of de- priving persons of their right to be heard and Senator Borah suggested that the principle of equal protection of the law to all was violated. The bill was laid aside before a final vote was taken but in perfecting the com mittee amendment the senate voted to make the ''prima facie' value to be given dissolution decrees apply to de- crees hitherto entered. This was done by a vote of A to 23 Vice President Marshall breaking a tie.

interference in the controversy be- tween Japan and Germany. This was reflected somewhat in the studied retl- cence of both President Wilson ana Secretary Bryan. The president had been asked early in the day whether the assurance of Japan that she would eventually restore Kiao Chow to China in case that territory was obtained from Germany was regarded as satis- factory here. MT. Wilson replied that he saw no reason to question Japan good faith in that connection, but care fully refrained from expressing any opinion on the merits of the ultimatum or Japan's attitude. Published reports to the effect that the president had expressed himself as satisfied with Japan's course were promptly denied by Secretary TunuIty tonight at he direction of the president.
 No Opinion from President Wilson.
 "The president feels it incumbent on himself" said Secretary Tumuity, "as the head of a neutral nation, to express no opinions whatsoever on the attitude of Japan or any other coun- try"
 Diplomatic despatches brought no course of either Japan or Germany, but official Washington was diverted for the moment from the thought of the hoStilitieS in Europe to a hypothet- icaI consideration of how American possessions in the far east ultimately might be affected by the results of an extension of the war to the Orient.
 Army strategists discussed among themselves whether Japan might not also take the German possessions in the Samoan and Caroline islands, which are on the American line of communication to the Philippines, and how that eventuality might affect the interests of the American government in the Pacific.

Aug. r. 1920 p. m--The landing here from the United States cruiser Tennessee of s3,000, 900 in gold belonging to American bankers, which is to be used for the relief of Ameri- can refugees, was delayed 24 hours owing to a misunderstanding with re- gard to insurance. Tonight, however, it IS safely aboard a train bound for London.
 When the Tennessee arrived here American Express company who un- dertook to take charge of the gold on land approached the captain of the Tennessee to accept delivery.
 Take 1t when you like" said the captain Tt is in the magazine, safe and sound All I want is your auto graph when you receive it."
 The reply. was that the express com pany's representative would sign fOr the gold when it was landed. This, however, the captain would not under take. not relishing the task of having boatloads of gold pass through the harbor crowded with shipping and German prizes seized by the British, which makes navigation by small boats risky.
 Finally a cable despatch was sent 70 New York, and a reply being received that the gold was insured from the time 1t left New York until it reached the London banks. 1t was hurriedly landed
