There was feeling OF satisfaction
among the audience when he stated that

alleged tales OF atrocities proved them
to have no foundation of fact
The pictures showed in great detail

the German army. The men in the
trenches. at the big siege guns and
in the varied occupations of the mill

as were the familiar scenes of the
now historical towns in the fighting

Special correspondent Of the Washington Herald.
New York, April 19-Paul Swan. who
bills himself THE Most Beautiful Man
in the World" is lamenting over the
brutality of New York until he is in the
mood for something terrible. His plight
is provoking really.
1t is his fatal curse OF beauty. The
latest story about the clubs with Paul
for a hero is irking him greatly. IT
goes like this: Paul Swan is going to
the dogs. l saw him staggering out of
a soda fountain yesterday" Paul is tired
of these jests and quips for he says he
is regular guy and was brought UP on
a Western prairie farm.
He learned to play, to break wild
horses. to swim. wrestIe and even fight
with his fists and now when folk see him
they murmur: Isn't he lovely?''
1t all came about-this beauty business
because Paul went to Greece six years
ago. In New York lie is considered a
freak but in Athens he was a riot He
hadn't been there two days before poets
compared him TO the Iiermes of PreaXite-
les nd averred he was a reinca rnation of
Apollo.

Emporia sailed forth on Times Square
