WILSON ACHAST
AT RHEIMS ruin
President Declares No
Words Can Describe Desc
lation Created by Hun.

Paris, Jan N.-President Wilson re-
sumed work on the peace settlement
today with the picture of many little
American cemeteries, miles of desolat-
ed countryside and scores of ruined
villages fresh in his mind.
mo one can put into words the i'm
pressions have received in the midst
of such scenes of desolation and ruin, y
he declared. after leaving the skeleton
of the famous Rheims Cathedral yes
Aerday.
President and Mrs. Wilson spent the
entire day in the devastated area
They left Paris in an automobile early
in the morning, took lunch at Chateau
Thierry and returned from Rheims by
train in the evening.
Snow fell most of the time. Old
trenches stretched out in thin white
Ines across the country. Abandoned
,amouflage dropped in funeral wreaths
beside the roads. Piles of abandoned
materials hid their martial identity
under a mantle of white. At Rheims,
the snow swirled amidst the wrecked
buildings and splotches of it covered
the blackened wounds of the Cath
edral, as though nature were seeking
to hide the vandalism of the Hun.
The Presidents party spent two
hours in the Chateau Thierry region,
passing through the ruins of Lucy,
Torcy and Bauresches. At VauX the
President stood on a rise near a score
of American graves. overlooking Bel
leau Wood, while the story of the
lighting in this region-where the Sec
ond Division made history-was retold
for his benefit.
The aged mayor received the
party at Rheims in rooms with
shell-pierced Walls and ceilings.
The President expressed deep emo
tion in response to the mayors well
come. The party then went to
the Cathedral, PASSING reverently
through the ruins.
As the President walked by the
side of Cardinal LucOn he remarked,
Its beautiful, even though it's a
ruin" The Cardinal presented to
him an intact circular center piece
from one of the CathedraPs price
less stained glass windows. Half an
hour was spent in the Cathedral
looking up at the great holes in the
roof and inspecting other damage.
Later the party walked in the
streets adjoining the Cathedral,
which were bOrdered by the wrecks
of what once were dwellings. They
then motored through the entire
city, clusters of civilians, who had
returned to take up life in the midst
of the wreckage of war, cheered the
President as he passed.

Pillsbury Mill Closes,
Flour Surplus Cause

Minneapolis. Jan. 2T.-With the
announcement that they had more
-four on hand at present than can
be sold, the Pillsbury Flour Mills

A sensational drop of II cents in
the price OF rye today and of 4
cents in corn was attributed to the
