NJ. Viviani rode to the University OF

guests OF President Harry Prat. Jud
son. Great crowds were meanwhile
forming outside the amphitheater
battling with the police in attempt

Frenchmen who have died for u.s.
General Joffre was introduced firs,
and when the storm of cheers sub
sided the hero OF the Marine spoke
for fully two minutes. His address
was in French. Not one person In
one hundred who heard understood
him. But the crowd burst out again
in cries of "Joffre' is he concluded.
Ntviani's eyes ran over the field of
faces. resting for a moment on the
khaki clad soldiers OF the United
States army massed at his left. Then
he began speaking. He spoke in his
native tongue, but with such express
sive e1oQuence that he compelled his
audience to understand

Mr. Speaker, ladies and gentlemen
of the house of representatives: viii
you permit me. on behalf of my
friends and myself. to offer you my
deepest and sincerest thanks for the
rare and valued honor which you
nave done us by receiving us here to-
day? We all feel the greatness OF
this honor. but l think to none of us
can 1t come home so closely as to one
who like myself has been for forty
three years in the service of a free
assembly like your own. I rejoice to
think that a member, very old
member. ! am sorry to say, OF the
British house of commons has been
received here today by this great sis
ter assembly with such kindness as
you have shown to me and to my
friends
Ladies and gentlemen, these two
assemblies are the greatest and the
Oldest OF the three assemblies now
governing great nations in the world.
The history indeed of the two is very
different. The beginnings of the
British house of commons GO back to
a dim historic past. and its full rights
and status have only been conquered
and permanently secured after CEN
turtles OF political struggle, Your fate
has been a happier one. You were
called into existence at a much later
stage of social development You
came into being complete and per
fected and all your powers deternin-
ed and your place in the constitution
secured beyond chance of revolution;
but, though the history of these two
great assemblies is different each OF
them represents the great democratic
principle to which we look forward as
the security for the future peace Of
the world
Models for Free Assemblies.
All of the free assemblies now TO
be found governing the great nations
of the earth have been modelled either
upon your practice or upon ours, or
upon both combined
Mr. Speaker. the compliment paid
to the mission from Great Britain by
such an assembly and upon such an
occasion Is one not one of us is ever
likely to forget. but there Is some
thing. after all, even deeper and more
significant in the circumstances un-
der which I now have the honor to

minutes General Joffre smiled and
stood at attention while wave upon

his ears. Then a member OF the en-

his hand and removed his red gold

ably in New York. and then return
by the route they came. 1t was ex-
planned here today that lack of food
stuffs in Holland made it necessary
that a large quantity be ordered at
once and it was felt that a merchant
fleet could better brave the dangers of
the seas than individual ships.

CAN'T GET STEEL
Santa Fe Officials Postpone Big
Improvements Here.
Addition to General Offices Will
Be Made in 1918.

Erection of a new ten-story office
building on the site of the old five
story brick building at Ninth and
Jackson streets, by the Santa Fe rail-
way will be delayed until the spring
of 1918. Fred C. Fox, general mana
ger for the railway company, said to-
day that steel plants refuse to bid on
material for delivery in less than six
or eight months. Recently, the railway
asked plants for bids on steel and
along with the bids the latter sent no
tice of the delay in delivery which,
they said, was due to the enormous
demand created by the war for such
products.
Officials of the Santa Fe here said
today that none of the bids made by
the plants would be accepted because
of the delay which would mean that
the material would not be on the
ground until this fall, at the earliest.
Approa ching winter would then pro-
hibit construction to any extent.
The building planned for the site
now occupied by the brick structure
will be practically a duplicate of the
ten-story building completed in 1912.
The entrance will be on Jackson street.
The plan to add three stories to the
present ten-story structure has been
abandoned in favor of the new struc-
ture, which will relieve congestion in
the offices here and provide room for
new ones.

OUR NEW TARIFF BOARD.

An act of September s, 1916 author
lied the creation of new tariff COM
mission to be known as the United
States Tariff Commission 1t is COM
posed of six members, having a term
of twelve years each and salary of
$500 per year. No member of this
Commission may engage actively in
any other business or employment
but all must give their whole time to
the work of the commission.
The commission is to have ample
machinery for the collection of all
needful information. 1t is to inves-
tigate the administration and physical
and industrial effects of the customs
laws of this country now in force or
which may hereafter be enacted, the
relations between the rates of duty
on raw materials and finished or part
~ finished products. the effects of
the ad valorem and specific duties
and of compound specific and ad val
orem duties; all matters relating to
the arrangement of schedules and
classification of articles in the several
schedules of the customs laws, and
in general. to investigate the opera
ton of customs laws, including their
relations to the federal revenues,
their effect upon the industries and
labor question, and to submit reports
of its Investigations.
The commission is empowered to ad-
Minister oaths and compel the at
tendance of witnesses, and is to have
access to the private records of anv
person or corporation whose business
1t is deemed necessary to investigate
in connection with revenue-producing
questions.
p In other words states George f.
Shields in Case and Comment, the
commission appears to have far more
authority than any earlier commission
has ever had. and the scope of it's
activities are also much greater than
was that of any earlier commission
OF course. congress is not bound by
any finding it may make. and may
accept or refuse to accept its recon-
mendations; but the purpose of the
act creating this latest commission APP
pears to have been to empower this
commission to do in an effective and
businesslike way what the committees
of congress have heretofore tried to
do; that is. to collect, classify, and
present to congress all the facts it is
necessary to have when considering
the enactment of tariff law.
