GREAT LONDON PEACE CELEBRATION.

Nineteen thousand Allied soldiers
picked men from famous combat
divisions the names of which are
written large on the pages of his
tory of the world war-marched
through London streets on the 10Th
in celebration of the return of
peace. The line of parade was more
nan SIX miles in length and reQuir-
Ell over an hour to pass q given
point.
King George, with other. men,
bers of the royal family. army and
navy officers and leaders of both
houses Of Parliament, stood on the
steps OF the Victoria memorial, in
front of Buckingham Palace, to re-
ceive the Salutes of the warriors.
A magnificent reception was Civ
en- the marching hosts. The streets
were bright with Allied colors,
some thoroughfares being flanked
by stucco pylons supporting allie
gorical figures of victory. Eager
spectators jammed every coign of
vantage, even the roofs being black
with cheering thousands. Large
numbers of people camped on the
streets all night to hold places from
which the parade could be witness
ed. Huge grandstands, accommo
dating thousands, were erected for
demobilized soldiers, an effort be-
ing made to arrange that every sol
dicr home on leave from France
should see the procession. Among
those who witnessed the parade
from these stands were 1000 wild
ows, mothers and children of Off
GERS and men killed during the war.
London for the past week has
been overllowing with those who
came to the city for the celebra-
tion. Many were forced to seek
shelter in police stations and
churches, and large numbers slept
on park and embankment benches.

DRASTIC PROHIBITION,

BY vote of nearly, three TO one,
the house, weary of talk on prohi-
bition, on Tuesday passed bill
for its enforcement, with provisions
and penalties so drastic as to bring
the men who framed it the predic-
ton that it would forever suppress
the liquor traffic on American soil.
Exactly one hundred members
81 Democrats and as Republicans
refused to support it. Against
this even hundred, the prohibition
lists, putting up a solid front to the
very last, polled 287 votes, and Just
as the result was announced lit
tie girl in the gallery, too young to
know what it was all about, leaned
over the railing and waved tiny
American flag. The house broke
into applause, the galleries, only
half filled, meanwhile looking on in
silence.
"A broad smile spread over the
faces of the prohibition leaders, for
their work in the house was end
ed and the measure was ready for
the senate, where many of its re-
strictions may be modified or
stricken out The cloak room ru-
NOR persisted that all of this legis-
iative effort might end on the shoals
of Presidential veto, although the
general view was that it would be
signed as passed.

MUCH SUGAR IN SIGHT,

While retail dealers throughout
the country are advising consum-
ers they have difficulty in obtain
ing normal stocks of sugar, the
Government has forecast domes-
tic crop far above the average for
The last six years.
The Department Of Agriculture,
in an estimate based on July 1 crop
conditions and announced at Wash
ington on the Goth, predicts q crop
of 100000 pounds. Such pro-
duction would be $4,000, 900
pounds more than the average of
the preceding six years, during
which the total of the two crops Of
beet and cane sugar has slightly
exceeded 2,000,000,000 pounds
every year, except in 1914.15.
The beet sugar forecast this year
is higher than the record crop of
1856 by nearly $4,000 tons, but
the cane-sugar crop of this year is
almost 100000 tons below the aver
age Of the six years. The sugar
beet acreage this year is record
one.

MAN WITH BROKEN NECK PAYS VISIT
TO CAPITOL,

The first case of a man living
with broken neck on record in
the Workmen's Compensation De-
partment is Frank Alexander, of
Cannelton, young man of 10.
He paid the department a visit re-
Gently, and was the object of much
interest with local physicians.
Alexander was employed in the
mines of Cannelton, Fayette county,
on April %, when he was run over
by mine car, in which accident he
broke his neck. Yet he continues
to live, and furthermore can walk
and talk and be quite active. He
cannot stoop very we'll or bend his
neck, and of course is unable to
work.
He lives off ice cream principally
since, he states, it takes q great deal
of water to wash his food down.
The commission has not yet pass
ed upon his disability, but an X-ray
picture of his neck was taken which
showed that the second cervical
vertcbrae was dislocated.
DrS. Godbey, Huhey and Gamma
dy made an examination of the
young man, and were quite inter
csted in his case, since he is the
first one they had seen. DR.. Godbey
declared that his was one case out
Of 10000 in which man lived with

WARREN HAS LIVED.

Little Warren Pershing has lived.
For life can hold few greater
thrills than those which came to the
soidierly 10-year-old son of "Black
Jack" Pershing during Saturdays
great victory pageant in London in
which millions gave themselves
over to a delirium Of joy in COM
memoration of victory.
These things happened to Warren
nershing:
The King slapped him on the
back in chummy fashion, as one
soldier to another.
The Queen patted him on the
head and called a photographer to
snap them together as they stood i'm
stand.

hand as a fellow-soldier and then,
STOPPING, kissed him on each cheek.

Queen Mother Alexandra, plain.
grandmotherly old lady, clasped the
motherless American boy in her
arms and kissed him.
Ex-King Manuel of Portugal and
the ex-Queen shook his hand and
so did the Prince of Wales, Eng
lands future king.
And even that list does not give
the supreme thrill that Warren
Pershing enjoyed in a day of super
thrills.
The greatest of all came when
General Pershing, having finished
his part in the parade, dismounted
and walked to the royal box to take
his stand at the Kings side and
watch the others march by.
From his obscure place in the
royal box little boy in a minia-
ture uniform of an American officer
lcaped forward, dignity forgotten,
and, with an impulsive cry Of "Oh,.
Dad! threw himself into the arms
OF his big soldier father. Pershing
swept him up with a fathcrly hug,
kissed him and then presented the
youngster call around"

MARCH OF YlCI0RS.

The triumphant march of Allied
and American troops thru Paris
began al eight o'clock Oil the morn
ing of July ii. The weather was
brilliant, being more like October
than midsummer. A thousand
wounded soldiers with crutches or
in wheel chairs and clad for the
most part, in civilian clothes, led the
parade, being preceded by a drum
corps. Guns began firing at minute
intervals as President Poincairc
placed a wreath at the foot of the
Cenotaph at the Arc de Triumphe
in the morning. The empty casket
placed there in memory of the AL
lied dead also was decorated by 9TH
er wreaths, these being placed by
Premier Clemenceau, a French sol
dier, an Alsatian girl, French sail
or, girl from Lorraine and Col.
Edmund Croh. This last wreath
was in memory of ~ members of
the Lafayette Escadrille, who lost
their lives during the war.
Marshal Joffre, the victor of the
first battle of the Marne, passed un-
der the Arc de Triumphe at 8:45
O'Clock. He rode alone. Behind
him came Marshal Foch, the com
mander in chief of the Allied troops
during the final campaign of the
conflict. 4 storm of applause arose
from the vast multitudes as the two
marshals passed the presidents
stand and moved down the bril-
liant avenue.
General John J. Pershing, with a
number of American generals, came
next in line and were received with
equal enthusiasm. Forty American
organizations. soldiers and marines,
marching with wonderful precision
were greeted by a sea of waving
handkershicfs and flags and deaf
cning cheers.
