French IDEALS WILL
TRIUMPH, HE DECLARES
Arthur Stanley Riggs Tells Geographic
Society France Will Shine with
Greater BrilIiancy After War.

That France, tried by shells and fire
and blood, will arise with greater
brillianee and again become the in
tellectuaI leader of the world, was a
prophecy made by Arthur Stanley Riggs
in a lecture before members of the
Masonic Temple Friday. One hundred
years ago, the lecturer pointed out, the
French fought all Europe, and emerged
from the terrible exhaustion of this con-
fiict to see the ideals for which they
fought win steady victories throughout
the world. France, being tried in just
as fearful an ordeal today, he predicted.
will again see her ideals, for which her
sons are bleeding, triumph as they
triumphed century ago.
The wonderful recuperative power of
the French finds examples scattered
throughout her history" he said. Be
fore this war, some OF us thought that
France had refined itself to a point of
degeneracy. How far we were from
right is shown by the wonderful en-
durance and organization that the
country has displayed since the outbreak
of the war. 1 feel that 1t is not too
much to say that the whole world will
benefit from its struggle, even as the
whole world benefited from the French
Revolution"
The lecturer described the different
regions of France and their beauties.
He told of the fearful destruction that
has been visited upon Northern France,
and then sketched the beauties and the
history Of the South. One picture that
he displayed illustrated a contrast be-
tween the France OF today and that of a
century ago. It was that of Napoleon's s
column at Boulogne. The egotistic Little
Corporal caused this column to be erected
to commemorate an invasion of England
that never came OF, the lecturer said
Napoleon, he continued, gathered 10000
men at Boulogne for the undertaking,
and. so confident was he of success, that
he had coins struck with which to pay
his soldiers, with the legend on them
''minted in London" Boulogne, at the
present, Is the great war port through
which the chief British-French COM
munications run.

Prominent among the visitors in
washington last week was Miss Ger
truds Titus, Of Helena, Mont, who holds
the honor Of having made the highest
flight. in an aeroplRne of any woman
in the world, other than licensed wom-
en- aviators. Miss Titus flight was
made recently at Denver, Colo.' In
Curtiss biplane, as the guest and pas
senger of T. T. Maroney. a well known
exhibitor. Miss Titus also was the nrst
woman passenger ever carried py MI
Maroney.
Miss Titus, the pretty. young. and
winsome daughter of Court T. Titus,
smeIter king of Montana and niece OF
Clinton T Brainard. New York and
washington, editor and publisher. Is a
true daughter of the West and laugh
fngly tells of her ride through the air.
So accustomed Is the young woman 10
the sensations Of flying, gained oy
mockinE the speed laws Of cities and
countries in her big forty horsepower
Automobile and on the back of her
fayorite broncho, that during the flight
she nonShantly pressed the bulb that
snapped a picture Of herself and the
aviator.
Recountiug the experience, Miss Titus
said that she became Interested IN Inc
aeroplane after she met Mr.. Maroney
and the Intimate details of the craft
to ride in the air grew gradually but
every request to her parents to be per
mftted to go up met with a stern re-
fusal, and it was only by strategy tnat
s6e finally accomplished her purpose.
Helps Repair Machine.
Her father was in the East on busi-
meas and her mother busy with her
home duties. when one morning the
engine of the machine became oalky
and she was called on for assistance
by the aviator. Together they TOOK the
machine down piece by piece and then
when the troubles had been "doctored
put it back together again This per-
sunaI touch only added to the desire
to feel the sensations Of riding above
the clouds and after much persuasion
Miss Titus gained the consent Ol
Maroney to be taken up.
A photographer in the large crowd that
had gathered sensed the value OF the
occurrences and attached n camera TO the
end Of one of the planes, placing the
bulb in the hands of Miss Titus. Pictures
Of the trip also were taken by a cine
metagraph machine and now are attract
ing much attention in the movies Oi
the West.
Dressed in a great coat which covered
a costume OF serge, the daughter OF
the West climbed into the seat beside
NaroneyI withC IT the flicker of an eye
lash TO betray that for the first time
she was to enter the realms Of the al,
most unknown. A casual spectator would
have inferred that Miss Titus was q
veteran aYIatrix rather than o young gtrl
whose dainty feet had never before len
the earth.
Describing the sensations of the ride,
Miss Titus said:

with a whir the propellors began to
whirl and gradually attaining greater
speed the aeroplane bumped along the
ground. Suddenly It gave leap and 1t
seemed as IL IL had bumped into some
thing and been brought to a sudden stop,

pert hands OF the driver. the craft swan

Il was not a bit excited. aside from
the pleasurable excitement attendant
upon the experiencing OF a new sensa-

Miss Titus is constantly looking for

opportunity to repeat the experience, and
II her parents would only consent, she
would purchase a machine for her own

Mr. Titus was on a train rushing from
Philadelphia to New York to complete
a big mining deal when the picture of his
daughter sitting in an aeroplane high
above the ground flashing from the front
page of a newspaper gave the drst in
timation that his mandate had been dis
obeyed.
Exceedingly wrathful, but more fright
ened than the object of his wrath. Mr..
Titus left the train at the first oppor-

to repeat the performance.

 STOCK MARKET 

New York, Oct. 30-Opening-The trend was mainly higher on the re- sumption of trading in stocks today,
 copper sugar, and shipping shares again leading the advance at gains or one to two points. United States Steel also rose a point and strong features included Central Leather, Westing- house, Lackawanna Steel, Republic Iron, and Baldwin Locometive- The prominent rails were Rock Island, Kansas City Southern and Union Paci- fife. There were minor recessiens in Reading, Denver & Rio Grand pfd. and Crucible Steel with marked heavi- ness in the motor group.
 Noon.-Prices shaded in the first hour on selling caused by reports of another British ship sunk involving possible international complications. Motors extended their initial losses and Industrial Alcohol was heavy with Bethlehem Steel common and pre- those issues yielding to 6 points. The movement was not espe- cially effective elsewhere, however, metals, including zinc stocks, showing pronounced strength. Chino made a new high at 63 1-8 and Atlantic Gulf and West Indies also exceeded all pre- vious records at 187 1-2. A more gen. eral reaction occurred at midday.

1t was, Of course, old Nicholas Van
Ploon who fell back again on the
stock argument which had been quite
sufficient to soothe his conscience for
all these years.
I'VE give these people cheaper rent
than they can find anywhere in the

I'VE should continue to do so, but in

This Is the home of all these poverty

We cannot for shame, If for moth

on every point of vantage to support
his intense desire 70 lift the Vedder
court derelicts from the depth Of their
degradation. I'VE lie now under the
disgrace OF having owned property so
filthy that the city was compelled to
order 1t torn down. The only way in
which we can redeem the reputation
of Market Square church is to replace
those tenements with better ones, and
