by the French Ambassad dor
Sand Nine. JusseraI.d to cele-
brate the occupation VI At
sace-Lorrsine by French and Amer
lean troops and the restoration to
France of the "lost provinces" attain
cd all the brilliancy of similar func-
lions given before the war could
dafkened the face OF the earth, and
had unusual significance and historic
interest from the fact that the Presi-
dent and Mrs. Wilson were present.
II was a beautiful and brilliant
scene, the stately embassy Haunting
the triumphant tri-color and one
great rooms decorated with rows of
slim, fragrant pine trees, the pines
OF TAlsace." A string orchestra gave
a delightful musical program. through
which patriotic songs were scattered,
the music serving as an obligato to
the hum OF conversation and the volc-
ing OF congratulations.
The company was largely an offi-
cial one. including Cabinet members,
the diplomatic representatives of ale
lied and neutral countries, with the
InembeEs OF their staffs, members of
the French High Commission and of
the other French missions In the city,

high officials of the United States
Government, and a large delegation
Of the central committee OF the Al
sace-Lorralne societies of the United
States, who came down from New
York especially to do honor to the &C.
CASTOR. In fact, 50 numerous were
the official guests that the Ambassa-
dor and Nine. Jusserand were very
much circumscribed in inviting their
friends who are without official
status.
The President and Mrs. Wilson ar
rived at the embassy about 10:45
O'Clock, remaining until nearly mid
night and mingling with the guests
in quite an informal way. The first
person presented to the President
was NJ. Blumenthal. formerly mayor
of one OF the important cities Of Al
SAGE. The French ambassador made
a brief address in his happiest vein
and the President responded In
few well chosen words. A buffet
supper was served during the even
ing.
Among the guests were the Secre-
tary Of State and Mrs. Lansing, the
Italian Ambassador and Countess di
Cellere, the Japanese Ambassador and
Viscountess Chinda, Mrs. William
Gibbs McAdoo, the Secretary of the
Interior and Mrs. Lane, the Secretary
of Agriculture and Mrs. Houston. the

ARTIFICIAL DIAMONDS

Real diamonds, artificially made,
were exhibited in connection with
the annual May lecture before the
British Institute of Medals. The
speaker, Sir Charles A. Parsons, who
is widely known for his work in de-
veloping the turbine engine, told Of
experiments which showed that dia-
monds exist in iron.
The diamonds displayed were few
and small, and 1t was stated that
they were produced at enormous
cost. Only the resources Of great
engineering works made the expert
ments possible. However, the lee
turer believed that with the advance
Of chemistry and electrical engineer

make diamonds than dig them.

THE GERMAN YOUTH

German youth no longer rush to
the colors with the enthusiasm that
marked the mobilization Of 1914. ac-
cording to an article in the Berlin
vossiche Zeitung. telling of the war
time impairment of the German edu-
cational system.
"The spirit of voluntary service
which at the beginning OF the war
revealed itself in its fairest aspect
has now disappeared" says the ar
ticle. Everywhere we hear lamen-
tations over the increasing distaste
shown for military service"
Scholastic standards in the pub
lie schools have fallen so low, II is
said, that promotions no longer
represent any definite standard of
accomplishment" Scholastic eff
cheney has suffered considerably be-
cause pupils subsisting on war diets
for long periods are found to be gen.
orally undernourished.
Juvenile delinquency has spread
to an alarming extent, and It is an
nounced that ALREADY the number
Of violent crimes committed by
youths in the city Of Berlin is more
than three times the number report
ed in 1914"
Thus" concludes the article,
dark shadows are falling over the
brilliant picture OF 1914. Every dis
ciplinary influence, every effort OF
the still fundamentally sound Ger
man nation must be exerted to OPP
pose this tendency, and to lead the
children back to the path Of recti-
tude."
