CITY is OLD, YET MODERN
Rouen Has Double Charm for the Visi'
tor Who Has a Proper Eye for
Civic Beauty.

Rouen, the old capital of Normandy
whence William the Conqueror planned
his wars against England, is a city
which persists in keeping up to date
through the centuries. 1t is busting
modern town today in spite of its long
and strenuous past. You can buy the
Oldest of antiques and the most modern
of manufactures in Rouen, both strict
ly local products.
Like many American cities, Rouen
makes its poorest impression from the
railway stations. No matter which
train you pass through on, Ii you were
to take what you see through the car
rage window as a fair sample Of the
old city, you would never alight and in
vestigate. 1t is necessary to have faith
in Rouen, to believe in more beautiful
things around the corner, and, as is
often the case, he who has faith is re-
warded.
There are few places where the con-
trast between the medieval and the
modern stands out more clearly than in
this old-new city of France. The broad
and handsome boulevards, the brightly
lighted shops, the bustling cafes are
very much of the twentieth century;
and the grim old stone houses, the time
blackened carven walls seem to look
down on the pageant of modern life
flowing past them with dignified pur-
itanical disapproval, Leading Off from
some broad new boulevard you often
find one of the old-time narrow streets
just wide enough for foot traffic, that
was laid out in the days when Rouen
was walled city and the needs of the
pedestrian, or at most the horseman,
were the only ones to be considered.
The traditional idol of Rouen is Joan
of Arc. They have named street and
a square for her, the best of her statues
are found here, and there is museum
given over to relics of her strange ca
reer. Here is the tower where the I'M
fortunate maiden was tried and con-
demned. Through these same streets
she rode in her bright armor, and here
she died at the stake.

FINDS CHILD PLAGUE GERM.
Doctor Burrows Asserts Disease Is
Caused by Milk or Water.

Baltimore, Md, Oct. 1.-THE mys-
terry surrounding the cause of the
spread of infantile paralysis has been
solved, according to an official an
nOuncement made on Sunday at Johns
Hopkins hospital. Extensive research
conducted by DR.. Horace L. Burrows,
pathologist of the hospital, has result
ed in the discovery of the infantile
paralysis germ, the existence of which
was established nine years ago by DR..
Simon Flexner of the Rockefeller in
stitute.
According to Doctor Burrows, the
disease is not spread by contagiOn but
the germ is introduced into the human
system through the mouth in milk or
water
Present always in every case of the
disease germ has been found in the
big intestine, showing that the disease
is spread by some raw food.
The investigators find that house
flies and other insects undoubtedly
help to spread the germ from one food
TO another
The spread of the disease is so much
like that of typhoid, fever and its
method of communication that the in
vestigatOrs are sure they have hit up
ON a way to make an antipoliomyelitis
vaccine like the antityphoid vaccine
that stamped out typhoid in the United
States army.

.ROUMAN|A APPEALS
TO ALLIES FOR AID
King Fears Fate of Belgium and
Serbia Awaits Nation.
SOUGHT TO PROTECT SELF
Ferdinand Asks World to Consider
country's Position Before War
Move-Was Friendly to
Germany.

London, Oct. 16.-The Times pub
fishes an interview given to its CORE
spondents with the Roumanian army
by the king of Roumania, in which
the monarch appeals to the allies not
to permit his country to suffer the fate
of Serbia and Belgium.
1.-THE ROumanians will not falter,"
the king said, ''in their allegiance to
the cause, nor can the enemy wean
them from their faith in their allies.
Yet the Roumanians pray that, in
spite Of their existing exigencies and
their own huge problems, the allies
will not allow the affairs of ROu-
mania, who has staked her all in this
conflict, to pass into the back of their
minds and to suffer her to meet the
fate of either Belgium or Serbia"
King Ferdinand said that Roumania
had not been moved to enter the war
by expediency, but that her deci-
sion was based on the biggest princi-
pies of nationality.
Against Germany" continued his
majesty, there was, at the beginning
of the war, no hostility, rather, per-
haps, friendship, for economically, Ger
many was an asset to the development
of our industry and a potent instru-
ment in forwarding the prosperity of
our country.
"But with the progress of the war
Roumania began to feel the subtle
force of enemy intrigue endeavoring
in every way to force us into the
struggle against our own real inter-
eStS.
IF Roumana has been criticized
heretofore, let the world consider her
position: small power, with small
army, surrounded by giants, facing a
practical problem.
with a western frontier nearly TOO
miles long, which alone was greater
than the English and French fronts
combined, and Bulgarian frontiers, al
most undefended and near her capital,
stretching for other hundreds of mr1eS
to the south, she had to wait the
time when she could act with reason
able assurance of protecting herself
and having the support of her allies.
"a small country in a great war
which promises to last for at least an
other year, faces certain internal
sacrifices and the consumption of her
resources. But such is the confidence
of Roumania in the justice of her
cause and the faith of her allies that
she has cast her lot with them in the
conviction that her great associates
will see that she does not prove to be
the third small power destroyed in the
great conflict"
Despite slight gains recorded for
the Roumanians in the Bucharest Of
fetal war Office statement, Austro-
German Bulgar forces continue their
crushing nut-cracker tactics and have
expelled the Roumanians from further
portions of Transylvania.
A strip of territory in eastern Tran
sylvania, paralleling the Roumanian
front and including the Gyergyo and
Miszek valleys and the upper and
lower Csik, have been cleared of the
enemy, according to Berlin war Of
flee statement.

ORIGIN OF FAMILIAR PHRASE
How Swinging Found the Circle"
Gained Its Place in Ameri-
can Politics.

"As I go round the circle" uttered
by President Johnson in speech in
Cleveland, Ohio, in 1866, was the origin
of the familiar phrase of today, 'swing-
ing round the circle" as applied to the
campaign tours of presidents. 1t was
David Locke, the Petroleum V. Nasty
of the Toledo Blade, who converted
the words of Johnson into the Swing
ing Around the Circle" slogan.
Andrew Johnson was in many re-
| spectS remarkable man, born and
reared in illiteracy, President John
sons state papers are said to be
among the ablest executive documents
now on file at Washington. yet"
says T. r. Burton in his life of John
Sherman, "Johnson's first message to
congress, in December, 1865, was writ
ten by George Bancroft, and the origi-
nal manuscript is at the Library of
Congress.
1t was on August "a, 1866, that Presi-
dent Johnson, with Secretary Seward,
General Grant and Admiral Farragut,
left Washington for a tour through the
middle western states.
The ostensible object of the trip was
participation in the dedication of a
monument to Stephen A. Douglas at
Chicago on September 6.
But the outing was plainly an cleo
pioneering movement on the part of
the president, for the purpose of max
ing votes for "my policy" in the COM
ing fall election.
AT all the principal cities along the
route through Pennsylvania, New York
and Ohio, the president was received
by a majority of those present at the
different outdoor receptions, with the
respect due his Office.
If the president. in his speeches, had
shown some degree of moderation and
dignity in his language, the history of
this notable presidential journey would
not have been written in words of de-
nunciatiOn.
But Mr.. Johnson did not try to con-
ceal either his prejudice or his tenn
per. From New York to st. Louis the
president petulantly showed his oppo-
sition to the prevailing tone of public
opinion throughout the northern states
at the time, banded epithets with the
crowd, and exalted himself at every
opportunity" Secretary Seward also
made some speeches. But Grant and
Farragut, although frequently called
for, did not utter word. Grant was
said to be thoroughly disguised with
the president and rode in other cars
when he could do so.
81 felt" said Grant afterward, 'that
it was like listening to man at his
own funeral"
Although President Johnson made
many speeches, it was said that not
even once did he pronounce the name
of Lincoln" in this entire trip. At
Cleveland, on September 3, the presi-
dent did say that he twas placed on a
ticket with a distinguished individual,
who is now no more"
In the same speech occurred his ref
erence to the "circle."

may prove fatal.
D'Alene, after putting out the ire
which enveloped. his car, again took
