HOMAGE AS HE GOES TO
PEACE CAPITAL.
OINES With P0INCARE
TROOPS JOIN PEOPLE IN CHEER

SrREWN PATH.

Wsetsrn Newspaper Union News Servics-
Paris, Dec. 16.-Presfdent and Mrs.
Wilson made their entry into Paris
Saturday morning, greeted by 2.O00.-
900 OF the population not only OF the
city but of the surrounding districts.
They were attended by President
Poincare, Premier Clemenceau and
others among the most eminent fig
ures of France. Flowers were dropped
around their carriage; airplanes
winged overhead; guns sounded.
The city was ablase with illumina-
tions; the boulevards were thronged
with crowds. dancing and singing and
throwing confetti.
The chief official event of the presi-
dents first day in Paris was a lunch
con rendered to him and Mrs. Wilson
by President Poincaire. 1t was q gor-
geous affair But its outward magnif-
icence and brilliance were overshad-
owed by something that went straight
to the heart OF Paris and of France.
something touching upon the question
that has been foremost in the hearts
and minds of all French ever since the
signing of the armistice.
Somehow the impression had taken
root here that President Wilson was
opposed to the full payment by Ger
many of the damages her armies did
in the ruthless campaigns in France
and Belgium. Somehow a great sec
tion of the French people had come to
fear that he would try to stay the
hand, not of vengeance but of just
and deserved punishment.
1t was therefore natural and In
keeping with Frances traditional pol
Icy Of utter frankness that President
POincare in his speech at the official
luncheon dwelt tactfully but candidly
upon this question of questions. He
spoke Of the deliberate savagery" and
astounding cynicism' or the German
staff in its systematic procedure of
wanton destruction. He touched upon
the absolute necessity that such
crimes must not 60 unpunished- that
their just punishment is part and par
Gel of the Justice upon which the
worlds peace must be based here
after.
In his reply President Wilson, with
equal candor and an explicit direct
ness that made all doubts vanish into
thin air. spoke his own neart and
mind on this subject.
Il am sure" said he. that shall
lock upon the ruin wrought by the
central empires with the same revul-
sion and deep Indignation that they
stir in the hearts OF France and Bel
gium. and i appreciate. as you do. the
necessity of such action in the final
settlement OF the issues OF the war as
will not only rebuke such acts OF ter
ror and spoliation but make men ev-
erywhere aware that they cannot be
ventured upon without the certainty
of just punishment"
President Wilson spent his first
Sunday In Paris by going twice to
church. laying wreath on the tomb
Of Lafayette and having.a a brief con
ference with Premier Cle1nenceau and
another with Col E. NJ House In the
evening he rested in preparation for
the coming strenuous week of prelim-
f,ary conferences. During the after
noon the President made a short call
on President and Nine. Poincare at
the palace OF the Elysee.

READING ALOUD TO CHILD
BY HAMLIN GARLAND,
(Author Of "a Son Of the Middle eor.

tROkUVT VI - 0Vst W eshG Hut9osV SOt
der" Ete.)
The value Of reading aloud to Il child
cannot be overstnted. In the first
place, 1t establishes n delightful COM
radeship between parent and child. II
builds Il lasting foundation of COM
mon interest and mutual understand
ing. The child associates with the
face and the voice of his sire much
of the dignity and poetry Of the book
he has heard read.e He infers that his
father has something of the quality
of the author, and he carries with
him n grateful memory of the busy
man who laid aside his large affairs
in order to give pleasure to a small
boy.
A fathers voice can vitalize the
printed page to his son even before
the son can comprehend the written
words. 1 commenced reading aloud
to my daughters before they could un-
derstand the spoken words, for the
reason that the very music Of the bal
lad or the drift Of the story enthralled
them. 1t was good to see them strive
to comprehend. It developed their i'm
agination. They are growing toward
womanhoOd now and they are able to
tell me that they remember those
nights when 1 read to them, with an
emotion which they find 1t hard fit-
tingly to express. I gave them both.
In this way, feeling for glorious
verse, and love for choice words
which has been Of the highest value
to them up to this time. and which ill
increase in value as the years pass.

chance to impress forever upon the
young mind a clean and >wholes ome
knowledge Of one Of the most impOr-
tant facts of nature.
Let the mother strive for two things:
to start the child with 4 beautiful and
reverent feeling concerning the origin
Of life; to give this knowledge before
the child can learn It In harmful way
outside the home.
1t Is well to anticipate the direct
question by getting ready before the
child is old enough to nsk 1t. How to
do this? Begin. perhaps. with seeds
Show the seed-pods of any plant. The
seeds are the children Of the plant.
The plant gives them protection and
feeds them with its juices. They are
part Of the plant. The plant is the
mother of the seeds. When the seeds
are ripe the pod opens and the seeds
leave their mother to live their own
separate lives.
Dwell upon the care the mother plant
takes of her little seed-children. of the
beautiful flower petals she wraps about
erently of motherhood. Make the little
boy as well as the little girl under
stand and love the mother.
Lessons From Nature.
In the springtime show birds nests
If possible. If not. show pictures and
talk about the building and how both
parents engage In 1t. Then show or tell
about the eggs. Explain how the eggs
grew inside the mother-bird. They are
n part of her just as the seeds are n
part of the plant. When the eggs are
ready the bird lays them in the pretty
nest and sits on them to keep them
warm. The father bird sings to her
and feeds her. Both birds love the
baby birds and as soon as they hatch
out father bird and mother bird feed
them and care for them and teach them
to fly. A hen sitting on her eggs can
be used to teach the lesson. The
egg grew In the hen. How wonderful
1t is that little egg can change into
beautiful bird or n cunning little chick
en-! AS the child grows older lead
him to notice that the seed grows into
a plant just like the parent. that the
egg becomes bird like the parent.
Tell the child how important It Is for
children to come from good parents.
Speak Of parents and children when
talking Of plants and birds; this Will
cause the child unconsciOusly to con-
meet the ideas gained about plants and
birds with human life.
When n chance comes to show the
child young kittens or puppies or rnf,-
bits. or the young Of any animal. tell
him quite frankly, whether he asks or
not. that of course the young ones
come from the mother, that before
they.-yere born they were part OF
her. Make it all seem natural to the
child.
Teach Mother-love.
Dwell upon the love and care the
mother everywhere bestows upon her
children. Include fnther-love wherever
1t Ia expressed In the lower animals.
When at last the great question
comes, the child will probably answer
1t himself: Mamma. did / come from
your" "Yes. darling. you were once n
part OF mother. How mother loves her
little son (dnughter)
Each mother will think Of way to
tell the story according to circum-
stances. Only remember two things.
Tell the story properly before anybody
gets ahead of you and poisous the
child's mind. And tell 1t in way to
make the child reverence and love
