little American cemeteries, miles Of
desolated countryside and scores Of
ruined villages fresh In his mind.
mo one can put into words the
Impressions l have received in the
midst of such scenes of desolation
and ruin" he declared after leaving
the skeleton of the famous Rheims
cathedral yesterday.
President and Mrs. Wilson spent
the entire day in the devastated area.
i They left Paris in an automobile
early in the morning, took lunch at
Chateau Thterry and returned from
Rheims by train in the evening.
Snow fell most of the time. Old
trenches stretched out in thin, white
lines across the country. Abandoned
.camoufage dropped in funeral
wreaths beside the roads Piles Of
abandoned materials hid their mar
tial 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 cathedral, as though nature
were seeking to hide the vandalism
of the invaders.
The presidents party spent two
hours in the Chateau Thierry region,
passing through the ruins of Lucy,
Torcy and Bouresches. At Vaux, VIII
son stood on rise near score of
American graves. overlooking Boil
leau wood while the story Of the
fighting in this region--where the
second division made history-was
re-told for his benefit.
The aged mayor received the party
in Rheims, in rooms with shell pierced
walls and ceilings. The president ex-
pressed emotion in response to the
mayors welcome. The party then went
to the cathedral passing reverently
through the ruins.
AS the president walked by the side
Of Cardinal Lucon. he remarked, "it's
beautiful, even though it's a ruin" The
cardinal presented to him an intact
circular center piece from one of the
cathedrars priceless stained glass win
dows. 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 bor-
dered by the wrecks of what were once
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.

Linnia Audrich Glass and School Notes
Editorial
Why be slackers? Just because
school is out is not a sign that we
should stop selling stamps. We still
have boys "over there" and our gov
ernment is looking to us to help bring
them home.
Mr.. Waiter Boon has been appointed
to look after the stamp sales this
summer. All sales by pupils will be
reported to him, for which the school
will receive credit.
The amount of our sales at the
present time is $1379.50. The quota
for us to sell by next January is
$4,000 or an average Of $40 per pupil.
We are sure to make it and perhaps
go over the line. In doing so we need
the combined efforts OF every pupil
for it is big undertaking.-Editor
