Seldom have the newspaper men
with the party heard such shouts as
went up when King George handed
the President an American nag as
they were standing on the balcony OF
Buckinham Palace and the President
waved II. Then he passed IL to Mrs.
Wilson. The cheers were renewed
as she waved the nag.
After the King had shown the VIII
sons the art room, they were driven
to Marlborough House. where they
called on Queen Mother Alexandra.
On this visit Mrs. Wilson wore black
velvet suit, a black picture hat with
gray plumes, and a gray shoulder
wrap.
1t is estimated that more than a
million persons witnessed the process
sion from ChaTing Gross Station to
the palace.
As the Presidents carriage entered
the outer yard OF the palace, 1t passed
through a line of wounded Tommies
and Australians. One of the Aus.
tralfans shouted. "Hurrah for the
greatest man in the worldr'
Amid the cheers of tens of thou
cands, which drowned out the bands.
Mr.. Wilson and the King rose in
their carriages as they were driven
into the interior courtyard. They
stepped out OF the carriage and re-
viewed the palace guard.
Eseortlng the President. the King
walked toward the palace entrance.
American sailors and soldiers, perched
on the palace fences, waved q huge
American flag and led the cheers.
The King and the President, fol-
lowed by the Queen, princess, and
Mrs. Wilson, entered the palace, the
crowds giving vent to q final saivo of

Immediately after the King took

audience to Robert J. Bender, United

SPEECH OF CLEMENcEAU
TODAY MAY TOUCH ON
GREAT WORLD PROBLEMS

Intense interest awaits Premier
Clemenceau's scheduled speech dur.
ing budget debate in the Chamber Of
Deputies this afternoon. 1t has been
reported that he will touch on the
proposed league of nations, the Rus
sian situation and perhaps name
Frances personnel at the peace con-
ference.
Added importance Is given to the
premier's speech because IL opens
public exchanges between the allied
statesmen before the preliminaries to
the formal peace conference cSm-
mence.
Belief is held that Premier Clemen-
ceau is prepared to tell the chamber
that the conversations held thus far
with President Wilson and others
have been most satisfactory and in
spire the hope that the peace pre-
Iiminaries can be quickly concluded
once they get under way. Whether
or not NJ. Clemenceau will be able
to give the date of the opening of the
preliminaries is not known. but It il
hoped that this and other information
will be forthcoming, thus clearing up
the haze now enshrouding the con-
ference.

TO OPEN SCHOOL IN VOICE IN
PARIS.

Under the auspices Of the Lexing-
ton College of Music, the noted
Swedish baritone, Burger Maximus
Beausang, will open class in vioce
in Paris about Sept. IL. The location
of the studio will be announced later,
according to Miss Anna Chandler
Golf, Director of the Lexington Col
lege of Music, who was in Paris,
Wednesday.
Burger Maximus Beausang is a
Swede by birth, but came to this
country in his youth and has receiv.
ed his high school and university ed
ucation here. His A. B. degree was
attained at Bethany College, Linds-
borg, Kansas.
Mr.. Beausang gave special atten-
ton to the study of music through
out his college education and after
receiving his university degree went
to Copenhagen, Denmark, and entered
the opera school, studying with the
master, Herman Spire. Here he re-
manned several years. Clarence
Whitehill, of Chicago, Grand Opera,
and Peter Cornelius, the great Wag-
merriam tenor of Covent Garden, Lon
don, and of the Royal Opera of Co.
penhagen, are among the we'll known
pupils of Herman Spire.
Later Mr.. Beausang went to Belrin
to study with George Ferguson and
was to have been introduced in
opera, but the declaration of war
made that impossible, and Mr.. Beau
sang returned to this country in De-
cember, 1914. He located in Chicago,
where he has been devoting his time
to cancert work, teaching and direct
ing.

pose of transporting delegates and

seaport and stayed there just about
long enough to say we had been
there About all saw of the town
was a warehouse where we stayed.
The few English women we saw sure
had big feet. The railroad cars and
engines look more like construction
cars than anything else. Just about
five to eleven tons capacity.
THE trip across the channel was
rough and more boys were sick than
at any other time. / have been here
less than twenty-four hours but the
suffering of the French plainly shows
on the faces of the women folk. The
little boys are active and seem to be
pretty good rustlers, but the little
girls show the pinch of poverty and
their eyes show the look of hunger.
One boy broke up a piece of hard
tack and threw it out in the road
and the children cleaned up the
pieces like chickens would handful
of grain. The scraps from this camp
go to feed the Belgians. All my sur

girls, either give them money or food.

HOLES IN THE ROAD.

Rodman Wiley, Commissioner De-
partment of Public Roads, Frank
fort, KY, says:
"A road is the means of transpor-
tation and upon the condition of the
surface depends the cost of trans
porting materials. A great many
people think that when a road is
once built that it will stand for all
time and do efficient work without
any repairs, but such is not the case.
Railroads, rivers, harbors and canals
are patrolled, and in as much as the
highways are subjected to more Sc
we're traffic than either of the above
it stands to reason that they should
receive constant attention. Besides,
if the road is not smooth not only
is the cost of hauling increased, but
vehicles are caused to deteriorate
most rapidly.
Consider, for example, large
hole in a road. Everyone knows
that when automobiles, wagons and
buggies pass over holes that consid-
cradle damage is done. Suppose that
the damage to an automobile is only
one cent and that there were one
hundred automobiles over the road
in a day. The damage to the auto
mobiles alone from that one hole in
one day is $1.00. Suppose there are
fifty such holes to the mile of road.
Then the damage would be $4,000
per day or 81 500 per month and for
twelve months in the year the dam
age to the automobiles alone passing
over a mile of such road would be
$4,000, which is a sufficient sum of
money to build in it's entirety a mile
of road and use an excellent grade of
materials. 1t might not be necessary
to rebuild the road, and in that event
it certainly should be maintained.
1T would seem to me that it is now
high time that steps be taken to at
least see that all the holes in the
roads are kept filled. One way would
be to appoint patrolman on all the
main roads in the county.
Il cannot believe that we will
very much longer be willing to see
each day thousands of dollars worth
OF damage done to property.
The proposition is worth serious
thought"

courts, etc. 1t is a beautiful place
and on Sunday afternoons a large au-
dience comes to hear the music
There is also large park for colored
people
Paris has no park. 1t ought to
have one for the benefit of the grow
ing children. Nothing is better for
their health than play in the open
air with safe surroundings. 1 have
only lived in the town a year and a
half, but 1 am much like a Jew,
wherever l hang up my hat there is
my home, my town, my country, and
for it / will work and talk and
think. When a Sunday School gives
picnic nice park would come in
handy and save troubling the neigh
bors or going to distance. There
are various places in the town that
would do. Mt. Airy would be an
ideal place, could it be bought or
leased. The little strip of woods
starting from the corner of Houston
avenue and Second street, with the
adjoining ground on the same side
of the creek that is now in tobacco,
would make a delightful park. The
large lot on the opposite side of
Houston avenue, would be good
accessory. One dollar from each cit
izen would fit the place up nicely.
Yours truly,
ELEZAR DALEY.
