GEN. GALLIENI WAS
IDOLIZED IN FRANCE
Regarded as the Saviour Of Paris When
the City Was Threatened by Ger

PARIS, May 27.-Gen Joseph F. Gal
leni, former minister OF war, died at Yer
sailes today. The death OF Gen. Gallieni,
while not unexpected, created a profound
impression. as he was idolized by the
French people, particularly the poor, who
regarded him as the saviour of Paris dur
ing the critical days of August, 1914 His
funeral will be the occasion of a notable
military and civil demonstration.
On Aug. q, 1914, with the Germans
threatening Paris, he was given the impor-
tant post of commander of the entrenched
camp and military governor of Paris The
question of declaring Paris an open town
was seriously discussed at that time. The
departure of the government for Bordeaux
created great deal Of uneasiness and all
those who were in the capital at the time
recall the feeling OF confidence following
the posting of GaIlieni's proclamation in
which he declared: Il have received the
mission of defending Paris against the in
vader; | shall accomplish that mission to
the end "
At once his organizing ability and en-
ergy were shown. In a few days the city
was surrounded by new field Notifications
heavy artillery was posted at ali vantage
points. a complete system Of telephone
and telegraphic communication was estab

WASHINGTON. May 27 - President
Wilson today finished the carefully pre-
pared speech he is to deliver tonight before
the League to Enforce Peace The speech
will be devoted largely to the broad as
poets of the international situation, which
at least by inference will bear on the war,
and will lead into a discussion oi the fun
damentals the President believes should
underlie world peace The speech is eX-
pected to reveal for the first time the
Presidents Interpretation OF world opin-
nations backed by an international police
force Is looked upon by the President as
a possible means of minimizing the danger
of war There were renewed evidences to
day that he is deeply interested in the
continued public discussions of peace.

Expert Alienist Gives His
Opinion Of DR.. Waite,
Accused of Murder
THE EVIDENCE HAS
BEEN COMPLETED
Justice Shearn Began His Charge to the
Jury Soon After Noon Today-Knew
the Nature of the Crime He Com
mitted, Said DIR. Mabon.

NEW YORK, May 27,-The summing
up of evidence against DR.. Arthur W
Waite, in his trial for murder of his father
in-law, John +. Peck, was concluded by
both the defense and prosecution soon
after noon today. Justice Shearn then be
gan his charge to the jury.
DR.. Smith Jelisse was the first witness
today for the state. He testified that he
had determined from the examination of
Waite that the prisoner showed no signs
of defective intelligence. He appeared as
an average man of his early life and en-
vironment.
My belief is that he was an average
man, somewhat superficial, inclined to be
snobbish and of no great intellectual at
tainments. In my opinion he was sane. l
believe he knew the nature of the crime he
committed and was fully aware of all the
phases of it. He had sufficient mentality
to appreciate his act. He was sane when
he killed Peck"
DO you consider Waite normal man.
asked Walter r. Deuel., the prisoners
counsel.
That question cannot be answered, re-
piled Dr. Jellisse. He Is "A criminal with
a mind He differs from the average man
in terms of psychology because OF his
whole life being spent in living and feel
ing
is DR. Waites demeanor on the stand
that of a sane. normal mani" inquired one
of the jurors.
Not like the normal average man, but
he has a trace that d criminal OF that
type would show said Dr. Jellisse.
DIR. William Alabon also testified for the
prosecution, saying he found no distur-
lbance of DR. Waite's nervous system. On
some occasions when he examined DR.
Waite the prisoner made an effort TO give
false answers. This witness conclusion
was that at the time he killed Peck, Waite
was sane and knew he was dong wrong
WAITE, he added, is as normal man OF
his type can be. He had control of him
self and knew what he was doing. Asked
if he noticed that Waite smiled when on
the stand DR.. Mabon said the prisoner
smiled while he was being examined by
the aicnist 4 consider that he chose
J that attitude for a purpose. I think he
had trained himself for years to be pleas

The pre- Memorial day exercises for
Grades five TO nine were held yesterday
afternoon in the main room Of the high

The program published recently in The

II. Clapp in a brief address drew a word
picture OF a young man living at home So
years ago who sometimes wondered why
there was the necessity for the early train
ing in education and the teaching of love
OF country and duty to perform. There
came suddenly the call to arms and this
young man, with thousands of others, with
only hasty preparation, was in deadly con-
tict in the tremendous battle Of Gettys-
burg He then, as never before, realized
the value of education and training and
the necessity for each person to give some
thing in the interests of all mankind

Ambassador Gerard Opti-
mistic in Interview in a

AMERICA WILLING
TO PROMOTE PEACE
Good Relations Between United States
and Germany Has Improved Our Po-
sition for Taking Action to Bring
War TO an End.

BERLIN, May ~ via London.-Unted
States Ambassador James Gerard is con
vinced that peace is in sight, according to
an interview published in a Munich news
paper today from its Berlin correspondent.
Mr. Gerard is quoted as saying: Nothing
can shake my confidence that peace IS on
it's way
The ambassador referred to the settle
ment of the differences of the United
States and Germany as preparing the way
for President Wilson TO take up the qucs-
tiOn of peace.
President Wilson" he said has much
greater freedom Of action now to deal
with immense world problems which will
determine the future attitude of nearly
all the countries OF the globe 1t is useless
10 discuss at this moment the question as
TO whether President Wilson's intermedia-
ton is desirable or probable. America
urgently needs peace and for this reason
alone the American government is under
an obligation u it's citizens TO do and sup
port everything that serves the cause OF
peace
A fact OF chief importance is that my
government is really willing to take action
for the promotion OF peace. / am very
optimistic regarding the progress already
Hlade OF the lded tHaI Ihc war Shpuiu bC
ended even among belhgerent nations.
The wise and moderate word OF the Ger
man chancellor regarding Germany's readi
ness to make peace has probably their
strongest echo in America and strength
ened the impression that Germany viii
take all further steps calmly and with con
Gdence."
Referring TO the recent crisis in German
American relations the ambassador sGid.
Il hardly know from what quarters tho
present good relations between the UniteC
States and Germany could be disturbed
The establishment of good relations Will
Germany is one OF the most important fac
tors of the diplomatic situation now con
fronting the United States"
