 MT. Bloom spoke briefly, but to the point, telling the Travellers that or dinarily the keys to 8 city are hand ed to it's guests. "There are no keys to Pine Bluff, however," he said "The gates of this city are always op- en, to the Travellers, the Bagmen and all other good citizens of this and other states"
 Congressman Taylor mentioned of the grip" and knew from expert 'ence what the travelling man has 10 go "up against" That the Travellers are just sc many Give wires," is now understood and admitted b yevery- body, he said
 MT. Sawyer spoke briefly on the watchword of the organization, "Un- ity, Charity and Temperance" which are the. basis for the success of any nj an, he said.

The first orders given by the commanders of the two Ger man vessels were for consignmentss s of beer, and the last of "provisions" taken aboard the Prinz Eitel, before she interned, was beer.
 According to officers of the Kron- prinz Wilhelm, which secured the oceans and seas of the world for seven months, the supply of beer on the vessel became exhausted some weeks w ago. Ship after ship was overhauled, searched and sent to the bottom, but no beer was found until the French steamer, Gaudiioupe, was sighted. Forty quarters of beer were in her hold. Again the supply 6f beer ran low. None was found

BAGMEN DELIGHT
 BIG ASsEMBLAGE
(Continued from Page l)

There was considerable delay in starting the Bagmen's parade, some- thing like a half hour being lost in vain efforts to get the big two-humped camel out of his temporary quar- ters. It was finally decided to pull off the parade without the camel, and also tc leave the two William goats in their stalls, this decision being reached because the animals will have an extra amount of work to do this morning at the ceremonial session of the Bagmen, and also be- cause of unwillingness on the part of the animals to leave their stalls.
 The rarade was headed by the Royal Band of the imperial sultan of Bagdad, in true Oriental costume, and discoursing regular streets of Cairo" musis. which appeared appro- spriat. It was real funny to see some
