He delved into the early history OF
the country, when kings held sway In
the realm. traced the characteristics OF
tho French people from the earliest
times, and then took his hearers thru
France by aid OF his pictures. 1t was
upon the cathedrals that Mr., RIGGS
dwelt the longest, showing the bcauti-
full one at Rheims, before its destruc-
ton and afterwards, Here the speaker
was especially bitter, and declared that

treasure that belonged to all mankind
alike. and that altho never to be re-
placed. will stlll. forever, stand tri-

set scenes at Grenoble, tons of roses
piled high in q perfume factory at
Grasse, quaint and curious Brittany,
mountains and valleys, plains and cit

the screen and by word of mouth.
Upon the war the speaker touched
but lightly, showing few pictures Of
the French army officially approved
which gave a good idea of trench work,
mine chambers and fighting in gas
Masks. In the main tho talk was OF a
historical and descriptive nature. for as
Mr.. Riggs declared, zone has heard so
much of the war that it is slckening,
and q change to the green fields, golden
shores and magnificent cities OF the
country OF romance Is pleasant" Mr..
RIGGS talk was given in a very pleas

President Tells Congress of Sew
erance of Diplomatic
Relations.
.RECITES KASER'S PROMISES
Says He Refuses to Believe Supma-
rines Will Commit Overt Acts
Against American Lives
and Ships.

Washington, Feb 3.-President Will
son this afternoon addressed joint
session of congress. outlining the
events that led up to the diplomatic
break with Germany. He said:
ITO the congress, February 8, 1917.
Gentlemen of the Congress:
''The Imperial German government
on the 31st of January announced to
this government and to the govern
ments of the other neutral nations
that on and after the 1st day of Febru-
ary the present month. it would adopt
a policy with regard to the use Of
submarines against all shipping seek
ing to pass through certain designated
areas of the high seas TO which it is
clearly my duty to call your attention.
"Let me remind the congress that
on the 18th of April last. in view of
the sinking on the Oath of March of
the cross Channel passenger steamer
Sussex by a German submarine, with
out summons or warning, and the con-
sequent loss of the lives of several
citizens of the United States, who
were passengers aboard her. this gov
eminent addressed note to the I'M
perial German government in which it
made the following declarations:
If it still be the purpose OF the inn
perial government to prosecute relent-
less and indiscriminate warfare
against vessels of commerce by the
use of submarines without regard to
what the government of the United
States must consider the sacred and
indisputable rules of international law
and the universally recognized die
tates Of humanity, the government OF
the United States is at last forced to
the conclusion that there is but one
course it can pursue. Unless the inn
perial government should now and i'm
mediately declare and effect an aban-
donment of It's present methods of
submarine warfare against passenger
and freight carrying vessels, the gov
eminent of the United States can have
no choice but TO sever diplomatic re-
lations with the German empire alto
gether.'

Admittedly the worst danger menac-

1t Is morally certain that the mystic

Ike the Naronic and the Huronlan

others previously, is attributable TO
this cause, for no other agency is pow
