monious gathering Of Great Brit

his principle that there must no

London, Dec. 3O.-Two momentous
conferences, punctuated by the ac-
claim of the British people for Presi-
dent Wilson, we're crowned by cere.
monial event of unexampled magnifi-
cence In the state banquet at Bucking-
ham palace.
The affair was notable not only as .
spectacle such as probably no other
court in Europe can provide the set
ting for, now that the thrones Of Rus
sia, Germany and Austria have disap-
peared, but from the representative
character of the men summoned to
meet the head of the American gov.
ernment.
Besides the members Of the royal
family the official world was represent
ed by the foreign ambassadors to tho
Court Of st. James, the heads of the
government. present and past, chiefs
of the army, navy and colonial officials
and members Of the royal household.
There also were present dignitaries Of
the Church Of England, representatives
of universities and men high in the
worlds of literature, art and Journal
ism.
President Wilson escorted Queen
Mary into the banquet hall, while
King George gave his arm to Mrs.
Wilson.
Puts In Full Day's Work.
The day was chiefly working day
with the President. Five hours were
taken up by two momentous confer
ences with David Lloyd George, the
British prime minister, and Arthur j.
Balfour, foreign secretary, on peace
problems. This was the fulfillment Of
the main purpose Of the President'Ai
pilgrimage to London.
For three hours in the morning
President Wilson sat with Mr. Lloyd
George and the foreign secretary be.
fore the open fireplace in the Presi-
dent Wilson apartment in Bucking-
ham palace. The second meeting was
in the cabinet room of the premier's
residence in Downing street. The two
sessions were broken by luncheon
at which Mr.. Lloyd George gathered
dozen leading British statesmen of
the Conservative, Liberal and Labor
parties.
Unveils Picture Of Washington.
There was picturesque incident
after the luncheon when President
Wilson unveiled portrait of George
Washington presented to the plemier's
residence by Lord Albemarle.
The interest of Londoners In Presi-
dent Wilson continues high. Crowds
outside the palace and in Downing
street awaited his coming all day, not
withstanding the rain. and cheered his
every appearance. Each time they
saw President Wilson they demanded
a speech, but each time the President
shook his head negatively.
The newspapers were filled with
tributes to the President, which un.
doubtedly have been the cause of the
heightening bis personal popularity in
London.

miles from the ship and the fog was
so heavy we could not see 100 feet.

farther than any other division ON

came back for rest, but it d d NO

our way to the St. Mihiel drive. We
hit them hard, then were relieved

New York. Aug. 1.-THE bull
interest in the market is plainly
on the defensive AS a general
thing it would like to retain its
advance, but the short interest is
small and public buying is very
limited, so that it is much easier
to put prices down than up. Some
really important favorable news
might lead to a good rally, but all
the current discussion seems to
point to endless confusion in the
great matters whose settlement is
so essential to a revival of bull
speculation We may expect ma
terially higher prices for money
soon; this will tend not only to
curb activity but also to shade
prices of stocks.
There is no trading incentive in
the first page news today. The
bears view developments over
night as leading to a more serious
situation The stock market
should stand pressure exceedingly
well, but unless some big con-
structive factor diVerts attention
from present difficulties it seems
probable that the list will work
lower. favor sales on rallies par
ticularly on the sharp feverish rail-
lies.

HAY BUMPER in

AFTER SHOWERS
Some Parts Of Country Dry and
Grass Fires, Though Pastures
Generally Good.

Although bought is injuring pas
EHrage and hay in northern Illi-
nois, southern Nebraska, some sec
tons of Kentucky and in many of
the mountains and western states,
this section of Illinois, for many
miles each way from the tri-cities,
enjoys a bumper crop and lush
pasturage.
Prior TO the rains of the last fort
night the condition in the local
hay fields and pastures was the
same as that in the corn growths-
they were seriously lacking in
moisture. Rain came and rene
died that, however, so that now
farmers hereabouts declare the
hay crop to be excellent. One said,
We'll all have loads of tilt
orally and as slang.
Generally Looking Up.
This crop and pasturage is gen
y%rally loking up in all parts of the
country, exclusive of the agricul-
tural states of the west. The At
lantic states report excessive mois-
ture and a fine growth of hay and
grass, while the blue grass in the
south is growing fine.
