PERSHING IS
CHEERED AGAIN
When He opened Door Of Joffre's
Automobile, Crowd Went Wild
at Display Of Democ-
racy.

by W. S. Forrest. United Press Staff
Correspondent
PARIS, June 19-The throngs which
invariably haunts the Rue Constantin
in front of the spot where a great
American flag marks the Headquarters
of Major General Pershing, got q new
thrill today ana a new chance to
cheer the American commander.
Marshal Jofrre, who had been con-
ferring with Pershing for more than
an hour, emerged from the building.
There was an immediate craning OF
nec.ls. Behind papa" Joffre the
crowd discerned the tall, erect figure
of General Pershing. The two idols
of Paris walked together to the curb
where Joffre's automobile waited. And
there Pershing swept aside the crowd
and himself opened the automobile
door for his distinguished visitor. The
two saluted formally, smiled informal
ly and Joffre speeded away. Cheers
greeted the incident and the crowd
talked excitedly long afterwards over
democracy and his courtesy
to the elder soldier.
The American general is now work
ing on dawn-to-dusk schedule of Of
fee hours. Scores of conferences are
sch eduled daily and between these
Pershing approves reports of his sub
ordinate staff officers, consults with
them and personally 'familiarizes him
self with every detail Of the arrange
ments for disposition Of the army he
will command when it shall arrive in
France.

Keen on LAUGHING.

Kansas City Times: It has been
suggested in this country that the
press and platform conf1ne themselves
to serious things; that anything with
smile in it be banished as not in
keeping with the carnage and priva-
ton Of war. 1t is pointed out that
Paderewski has ceased to play his be-
loved instrument because of the suf-
fering and despair in his native Po-
land Harry Lauder whose son, serv-
ing in a Scotch regiment. gave his life
for Britain, has stopped making peo-
pie laugh and now is preaching TO
them.
One day when Lincoln's cabinet met
the president asked one Of the mem
bers If he had read Nasby's latest.
Mr.. Stanton-austere, stern, dignified
took the president to task, saying
he ought to be thinking of sterner
things. Mr.. Lincoln replied:
Stanton, think have the burdens
of this nation on my heart. but laugh
ter is my safety valve. am sure that
if l couldn't laugh sometimes I'd
bust"
If laughter (Which is so closely
akin to tears) will better fit us to
bear our load, then we cannot do with
out laughter. Sometimes a tightly
wound spring snaps. That could be
avoided by loosening the tension of
the human system. 1t is needed es-
pecially now.

MURDER MYSTERY
BEING SOLVED
Arrest Made In Case Of University
Student Whose Burned
Body was Found.

UNITED Press Leased Wire Service.l
NEW BRUNSWICK, N. j., June 10.
County authorities this afternoon
claimed to have cleared up the baff-
ling murder mystery of how John V.
Piper met his death, in the arrest
at Chattanooga, Tenn, today of DR..
VIM. j. Condor. a captain of the
United States army medical corps.
Condor, formerly resident Of New
Brunswick, is socially prominent here
and the news Of the charge Of MUIR
der against him created sensation.
Piper was a University Of Vermont
graduate and a student at Rutgers
college He disappeared February II.
Saturday his body half incinerated,
hut still recognizable, was discovered
near a road by gang of workmen.
Piper, who lived in suburb, was
working his way through college by
tending furnaces and doing odd jobs
for prominent New Brunswick fami-
lies. Among the families for whom
he worked was that Of DR.. Condor.
The physician was in active practice
and was well esteemed here. The
last home at which Piper was seen
to call on the night of February II
was Condon's.
When the body was discovered
Saturday, physicians found hole in
the breast made by bullet OF
the same caliber as that carried b.
a weapon found on the Spotswooi-
Tnglishtown road earlier in the day.
The badly decomposed remains had
apparently been tossed from wagon
or an automobile In the bushes.
Piper's disappearance had babe
fair to become an unsolyable mystery
up to the time the body was found
,Piper's wife always maintained that
her husband had been murdered. al
though for time his friends thought
the young mans mind had become
deranged from overstudy and over
work.
Captain Condor is about thirty
eight years of age. His home life
was entirely happy. County officials
refused today to explain the reasons
why they believe he committed the
crime or the theory of the motive
for the murder.
Captain Condor left New Bruins.

'Oglethorpe, Ga. Dispatches received
today said he was being held by the
military authorities at Chattanooga
pending arrival of a representative Of

Strickle this afternoon asserted

possession Of evidence showing how
piper was killed, including how his
body was disposed Of and who drove
