AMERICAN TROOPS
GREETED IN PARIS
WITH GIRLS KISSES
Flowers Strewn Before Battal-
ion Which Arrives to Pa
rade on Fourth of July.

PARIS, July "a battalion OF
American troops arrived In Paris this
morning to parade in to-morrow's
celebration by Paris Of independence
Day.
Tomorrow morning the Ameri-
can troops. headed by an
escort OF thirty French soldiers, will
march 10 tho Picpus Cemetery. where
speeches will be made at the tomb OF
Lafayette. Participation of tho Am
erican troops in the celebration was
requested by tho French authorities.
The Americans arrived at the
Austerlltz station at 7.l0 o'clock
to-day. The soldiers we're greeted by
representatives OF the French and
Cross provided refreshments and the
/, American Red Cross and the Young
Mems Christian Association also sent
representatives to greet them.
Headed by their own band, the SOL
diers, carrying their rifles and field
packs. fell in and marched Off TO the
barracks. The crowds waved Ameri-
can and French flags. Hundreds OF
Americans were in the throng at the
station.
As the troops swung through the
streets French girls pinned bouquets
and American flags on the soldiers
breasts. Flowers were scattered
along the route. The band played
! Yankee Doodle" Dixie" March
ing Through Georgia" and other Am
erican airs. French soldiers on leave
Erasped the hands OF tho Americans
and marched beside them.
| Several times groups OF shop girls
on their way to work slipped through
the police lines and kissed the sol
diers, TO their great embarrassment.
Now and then an American voice
would be heard, calling out, Hello
boys" Welcome to Paris or GOOD
luck" When the regimental colors
were carried past the men barred theil
heads.
The Americans were greatly sur
prised TO see q number OF children
kneel In the street as the flag wa!
carried by. They we're orphans from
an institution in the neighborhood.

Impressed military observers. Thel

COAL PRICE FIXED
. BY DEFENSE BOARD
ADDS S7OO,OOO,OOO
Increased so Per Cent, Senate
Interstate Commerce Com
mittee Is Told.

WASHINGTON. July s-Cnrord
Thorne, representing the Iowa League
OF Municipalities, told the Senate In
terstate Commerce Committee to-day
that II tentative coal prices arranged
last week between the operators and
the Council Of National Defense be-
came permanent they could cost con-
sumers ;7OO.OO0.00O over last years
soft coal bill.
Should the tentative prices be made
permanent, he said, prices which
operators in the Indiana field have
been receiving in the last six months
would be increased over 80 per cent.
Mr.. Thorne declared the tentative
prices are from fifty TO one hundred
per cent. greater than voluntary con-
tracts entered into within the last
three months between operators and
railroads for the ensuing year.
I'VE are protesting against even a
tentative price fixing agreement
said Mr.. Thorne. He wanted prices
fixed by a government agency.
The President will stand firmly for
the interests OF the public as we'll as
the Government. II became known
to-day, IL investigation by the Fed
eral Trade Commission shows that
coal operators and other producers
are obtaining undue profits.
Averting danger Of n serious spill,
in the Cabinet over methods OF price
fixing for coal and other commodities
consequently. is not the most impor-
tant feature of the Presidents en-
trance into the controversy.
He Is understood 70 be more or less
in accord with Secretary Baker and
Secretary Daniels in their efforts tc
obtain prices for the Government Al
lower figures than those quoted by
! the coal operators. But he and his
Cabinet have no intention OF permit
ting the consuming public TO remain
at the mercy OF the operators.
Secretary Baker and Secretary
Lane have announced that there Il
no difference OF feeling or purpose
between them because of Mr.. Bakers
letter repudlatinR the SO ton btu
minous coal agreement with the oper-
ators made by Mr.. Lane. II was
( pointed out that no price has beer
liked and will not be until II Is done
by some Governmental agency.
The price at the mines of So tor

ton on Government purchases. will
stand until a final figure Is set.

FOR DRAWING j. S.
IN THE GREAT WAR
Wolff and Bernhard Say He
Deceived Wilson in u
Boat Warfare.

COPENHAGEN, July s.-Theodore
Wolff. editor in chief OF the Berliner
Tageblatt, writing in his paper, char
acterizes the German system OF Gov
eminent as "a conservative bureau
cratic regime where Parliament may
only talk, but has no voice in affairs
and where decisions OF war and peace
ire taken in secret without any CO.
operative representative Of the
people"
Herr Wolff says the franchise is
deprived OF value by cunning di-
vision OF electoral districts.
Herr Wolff discusses the advisable
ity OF another programme speech by
the Chancellor before the Relchstas
this week and concludes that unless
the Chancellor IL prepared 10 give a
plain open account OF peace terms OF
announce the introduction OF a parlla
mentary system he better keep silent
The Chauvinests, he declares. have
already thrown away an excellent
chance OF a satisfactory peace by
adopting a ruthless submarine police
because without the entrance OF
America in the war France and ITALY
would undoubtedly have been far
more ready TO consider peace.
In the Vossische Zeitung George
Bernhard calls on the Government
to explain to the Reichstag. II neces.
sary in executive session OF tho
budget committee. the course fol.
lowed in America until the time o.
tho rupture. and asks that II answer
the allegations which are being mad,
with increasing frequency and posi-.
tiveness that the differences between
the actual development Of the Ger.
man policy and what the American
Government had been led TO expect
were largely responsible for tn,
vigorous and indignant action OF the
American Administration. He de-
clares that more and more It is being
asserted that President Wilson wa,
completely surprised by the inaugu-
ration OF ruthless submarine warfare
which was contrary to all assurances
given to him and all invitations ad-
dressed TO him.
No wonder that such conduct con-
tributed to exciting the American
war feeling. hardly less than the offer
OF American soil to Mexico ques-
tlon in regard 20 which the Reich
stag should also insist on further en-
lightenment." says Herr Bernhard.
