 Almost No Warning
 It was the return trip to Pekin from Peoria Friday night that a faint jar extending from stem to stern. gave the first intimation of the onrushing tragedy.
 The tragedy came without warning when the 300 merrymakers aboard, af- ter nights outing at Alfresco park in Peoria, were ending the evenings en- tertalnment with a concert by the or chestra.
 After the survivors had been cared for, it was impossible, because of the darkness to continue the search for bodies and this was halted until day light. At sunrise scores of volunteer workers hacked at the wreckage while two divers began bringing out the | bodies

 Hit Ammunition Dumps
 "Our troops located along the Marne at o'clock D. m. On July 1 to p. m. on July experienced a quiet day. There was an increase in the enemy's fire.
 The enemy's signalling continued excessive. There were several indica- tions of hits being made by our ar tillery on the ammunition dumps. One of these occurred late in the evening when a large blaze was seen in the sky and a heavy explosion heard from a point which had just been shelled by our artillery. Later in the day an unusual glow was seen and explosions heard.
 "In the early morning of July 2, there was still another report of an explosion. Our guns were playing on this particular spot at the time and this report, the smoke of which | immediately arose. the high shooting | flames and the bursting of cartridges are evidence that this was still an- other ammunition dump.

 Intense machine gun fire and a heavy bombardment of the Clerem- beauts wood preceded the German counter attack Some gas was used. Hostile airplanes dropped bombs. One was brought down near Tocy.
 Tn this sector between the even Ing of July and activity on both sides greatly decreased. The enemy shelled Marette wood with gas during Inc morning and put down some har- assing and interdiction fire.

Tn Picardy the enemy's artillery fire was the only outstanding fea- ture July 1 10 July 2, noon to noon. A large proportion of his fire was em- ployed in concentrations and our lines in the vicinity of Cantigny and the northern edge of the Bois Fontaine In addition to these concentrations there was slight harrassing fire on our front about noon July 1.
 "The enemys airplanes were more active during the morning than at any other time during the day, one patrol of five planes being seen over our lines at that time. During the night bombs were dropped in which appeared to be an attempt to explode one of our ammunition dumps. Shortly before midnight air combats occurred. At o'clock in the morn ing a German plane was brought down by an allied machine over the enemys lines. Enemy working parties were heard at intervals near Chateau Jenlis, Fontaine Sous Montdidier, Montdidier and other positions. Our artillery apparently registered di- rectly on German ammunition dumps.
 Heavy Machine Gun Fire
 'In Lorraine, from noon June 30 to noon July 1. there was unusually heavy machine gun fire and rifle fire on our l lines. The machine gun fire doubled in the space of "A hours, originating largely in the German position oppo- ] site Badonviller. The enemy's artil- l lery fire was light and scattered con sisting mainly of small caliber shells and including the use of some shrapnel and gas.
 Our patrols were very successful in gaining information.

addressing the president,

1 1SAASy
said:
"Mr. President, a day memorable
beyond all is that on which, for the
first time, a chief of the great Amer
lean republic crosses the threshold
of our Hotel de Vile. None among
your illustrious predecessors, not
even those most deeply venerated
for their genius and their virtues,
come to sit for al instant at the
hearts OF the people of Paris. Thus
in mourning the death of George
Washington and Abraham Lincoln,
fathers had felt a deep regret
that they could render but a postum
nous homage to the great men who
had been the object of their enthu-
siastic ~veneration. The joy which
this visit gives us is OF a rare and
precious sort
To-day, we need no longer seek
to imagine your features, for we see
them; nor the sound of your voice,
for we hear it. 1t is given to us to
express in your very presence our
gratitude and our admiration. AS
the terrible drama has dragged its
bloody way over land and sea, your
generous heart has beat in unison
with the misery suffered, and has
taxed itself to find succor for IN
happiness. How can we count over
the innumerable benefits OF Amert-
can charity, so vagilant, so method
ical and so wise?"
Tribute to Mrs. Wilson.
by Margaret Robe. United Press

PARIS, Dec. 16.-It is an amazing
tribute to Mrs. Wilson's personal
beauty and gracious charm that she
passed triumphantly all the severe
and critical tests accorded by the
wives of great men, and has been
taken with rapturous approval to the
warm. throbbing heart of Paris.
When the president received his
first ovation, as he stood on the sta
ton platform, Mrs. Wilson's lips
were tremulous with joy and emotion
and her eyes confessed the womanly
pride that was filling her heart be-
cause of the overwhelming demon
that was being given her hus-
band, not as the president of the
United States but as Wilson, the
man.
A French editor said the smile of
the president was the revelation of
the day. He should have added that
the smile of Mrs. Wilson was the in
spiration.
From the moment Madame Poin-
care presented her with a huge sheaf
of orchids at the station, Mrs. Wilson
deluged with floral tributes. Her
open carriage. piled high with frag-
rant, colorful blossoms, resembled
of a carnival queen. She smiled
and inclined her head to
the enthusiastic acclamations of the
swaying American beauty
in the midst of La France, Marchenal.
and other French roses
smartly tailored suit and three
cornered block hat accentuated her
smiling face among the flowers, as
with unaffected delight and charming
camaraderfe she waved her white
gloved hand to the futtering myriads
handkerchiefs, and blushed with
pleasure at the cries of Vive Madame
wilson," mingled with the cheers of
''vive wilson," and "Vive L'Ameri.
que!"

He is not at all that. Wilson is a
man. He is correct but not austre.
And If he drinks nothing save water,
it is perhaps well. But after all he is
worthy of the love and wine of France,
because he knows how to. smile. We
thought him ~phlegnsatic, but he is
not"
Two Vexing Disputes.
WASHINGTON, Dec. 16.-Mid-
Europeans will invoke the aid of
President Wilson in Paris to settle
two vexing racial disputes now
threatening the peace of the world,
according to authoritative diplomatic
disclosures here today.
Cross-claims of the Ukrainans and
the Poles to eastern GaIicia and con-
ficting aspirations of Mgo-Slavs and
Italians on, the east coast of the Adj
Ratio constitute the issues involved.
The Ukranians and the Poles already
have clashed in battle and observers
see an approaching crisis between the
J~ugo-Slavs and the Italians.
Both disputes seem to have pro-
crossed beyond bounds of domestic
settlement" a prominent entente dip
Iomat admitted today.
at is highly desirable that a basis
for the solution of these problems be
evolved before the assembling of all
parties involved and his decision
would be final"
