BIG PAGEANT
 IS STAGED BY {" COLLEGE MEN

OXFORD, England, June 26 Cor respOndence of Associated Press).- It fell to Oxford to inaugurate Eng lands peace celebration with joyful Victory pageant, and thirty-odd Amer ican soldier students took part in one of it's most stirring episodes.
 'The Allies and the British Empire" was the subject .Of the vast drama, which was dedicated Ito the valiant living and the noble dead who fought to bring about the peace of the world" The scene was the university's foot ball field, huge lawn with back ground of noble old trees.
 |. Belgium, Serbia, France, Japan, Italy and America were the allies rep resented, and the pageant laurels fell to Japan and America. The Japanese scene was a cherry blossom festival, in which 700 children, wonderfully ar rayed, participated
 The American episode, mixture of history and allegOry, was the signal for the first martial note sounded by the pageant, and it stirred the big crowd to a high pitch of enthusi- asm
 "The Old Country and the New, 1496 and 1917," the episode was termed. The first scene represented pier of Bristol quay and the departure of the caravel to take John Cabot and his sons to the new world.
 In the next scene, "1917," the Ameri- can flag was depicted as waving over the land the Cabots went to find. Her aided by the Spirit of Freedom, sym bolized by young Englishwoman in a flowing white robe, America joined with the allies in resisting the com mon danger Then a detachment of the United States army student sol diers marched out on the field, with Old Glory waving in the evening breeze, a thrill of admiration seized the spectators, and they jumped to their feet, cheering.
 A gay interlude was the "Banbury Revels," showing a country holiday of the time of Queen Elizabeth, and illus trating songs and dances of Old-time Merrie England. There were May poles and a Ma. queen in scarlet dress and yellow hair of remarkable length, who rode a cock horse to Banbury Cross. It was children's frolic. In all, more than 2,OOO children were seen in the pageant.
 A notable scene was a Serbian viii lage spinning meeting, features by na-

ENGLAND MAY RELAX IMPORT
 RESTRICTIONS

LONDON, June 17 (by maiD.-The automobile section of the American Chamber of Commerce in London has made representations to the British Board of Trade with the view of hay ing the import restrictions on Ameri- can motor cars further relaxed, if not entirely removed. At present the i'm portation of motor vehicles and parts thereof is limited to 50 per cent of the 1913 imports up to September l, 1919, in proportionate monthly quanti- ties.
 Sir Aukland Geddes, president of the Board of Trade, informed the au- tOmObile importers that no increase in imports could be allowed at pres ent, owing to the necessity of guard ing the future of sterling exchange on - America.
 Sir falkland said that the Board of Trade could not consider any one trade or industry by itself, but must look at everything with a view to the best interests of the nation. From this point of view the matter of main taining Great Britain's financial posi- tiOn, and therefore the position of her exchanges, was the essential consid- 2 eration.
 The American Chamber of Com merce here announces, however, that the government has promised to re- view the entire import and export po- sition on September 1, and that the Board of Trade has agreed to con- cession in favor of importers not rep resented in 1914, but who have since established sizable businesses depen- dent on automobiles from America.

A change that made after the American dele
gates left Mr. Furuseh said modified section of the
so-caed Borden amendment so as to read Labor
should not be regarded merely a commodity or ar
ticle of commerce" The word merely" said Mr. Furu-
seth, added later and changed what had been an
absolute negative to positive.
In his reply to the Furuseth charges Mr.. Gompers
read a cabegram from President Wilson stating that
although the labor provisions had been changed some
what they not changed materially The presidents
cabegram to Mr. Gompers reads as follows:
"Your message came while was in Belgium and
reached me too late to make full reply, but ndi
Gated in earlier message, while the labor provisions
are somewhat weakened it is the opinion friends of
labor, and my opinion that they not materially
weakened and that they will constitute most service

will be too late for convention
In concluding his speech favorng the League Mr..
Gompers denied the assertion that he was "blind fol-
lower of the President 81 don't want to be believed
blind follower of any man." said Mr. Gompers "but
do want to say that President Wilson is not only
of the most brany and brilliant of our time but he
possesses conscience and heart that seeks for the
light"

OWith that in stock, successful are our nights.
If man can't sleep when to his couch he goes, if he
can't draw some hours in calm repose, if midnight

with cheers; the welcome" sign may hang across
the street when he to Prunevile turns his princey
feet; but all his honors tawdry are and cheap il
night hours come and he can't go to sleep. He may
have wealth heaped up and heaped again. his bins
and cribs may groan with iron men; he may have
yachts and stately parks and grounds, but such pos
sessions have no worth charm, life is failure
and a false alarm, if sleep won't come when he
retires to bed while hours drag with weary feet

BIG BRITISH AIRsHIP coMBLlE

Following the announcement of the proposed trip
of the giant British drigble, the R34, to the United
States the following quotations from an article which
appeared in the London Daily Graphic are of unusual
interest:
"a LARGE AIRsHIP FINANCIAL COMBINATION
WITH SEVERAL MILLION STERLING IN IT
"This combine, it is stated in authoritative circles
will be heavily subsidized by the governments of the
various European powers and will be in active operation
before the end of the year.
"Three distinct types of arships are to be con-
structed at the works of the amalgamated companies
situated somewhere in the north of England Arship
of moderate size and speed will carry express and mails
and passengers Passenger liners of large size and high
speed will be made for longer distance flights and large
arshps of comparatively slow speed and large carrying
capacity will be constructed for general transport
wealthy travellers to be catered to with small
nonrgid arshps maintained at much the same cost as
small yacht"
The article announces that the slower airships be-
ing planned will be able to carry fifteen tons of pas
sengers and mails for distance of 4,5OO miles without
STOP at speed of 60 miles an hour
Already tentative routes time tables, and rates
have been worked out. Regarding these matters the
article says:
"rhe mail airship routes and times of travel in
this scheme will be as follows all voyages starting from
London: To New York, IL days; San Francisco,
IL; Cairo IL; Columbia 1-2; Perth, Australia,
7; Nairobi 1-2 Cape Town. 1-2; Rio de Janeiro 4.
'The British western system, to take advantage of
the prevailing Winds will consist of two main lines di-
rect and via Lisbon and the Azores to New York and
thence to San Francisco The London to Rio de Janeiro
route will be by way of Lisbon and Sierra Leone
'The Messrs. Vckers (sad to be among the mem
bers of the new combinaton) has already announced
provisional fare of $240 per passenger to New York.
and mail rates at IL pence an ounce"
While this announcement of the marked progress
of British plans for the worldwide commerciazaon Of
air travel will doubtless be surprising to many Americans
l. is, in fact only logical development of new and
tremendously important commercial nstrurenality and
the disclosure should be recognized as an urgent SUM-
rcns to America to wake from her lohargy There must
be immediate action since otherwise Great Britain will
speedily be able to reach the markets of South America
and all the rest of the world within fraction of the
tine consumed by slow-going marine vessels and
will also be in closer communication with our own citv
of San Francisco than the merchants of New York
and other eastern cities. Where is our much-heralded
capital? Where astute business men? Where are
resourcefuness and initiative? Are we to be content
to let Great Britain seize and maintain Ne lead in
aerial as well as in commerce? We have the
and far-reachng action.
