Pershing To Pass

PARIS, July 10.-General Perish.

ride at the head of an American troop
on Victory day, frances national
holiday, July Id. The commander
in-chief. of the American expedition
ary forces will pass under the Are
de Triomphe, leading composite
regiment of American soldiers select
ed from the units remaining in
France.
1t will be the first time since the
most beautiful arch in the world was
erected that general commi nding
a foreign army has had such an hon
or bestowed upon him. Other Ameri-
can generals will also take pSrt in the
parade. They have not yet been
chosen in view of the fact that the
blending of Frances national holiday
into victory day, commcmorating
her triumphs was decided upon less
than week ago, and plans for the
day are far from complete.
Not all the citizens of Paris, how
ever, are thinking of July Id in a
disinterestcd manner as symbolizing
glory and triumph, Many of them
are apparently coupling glory and
gain. if one may judge by the prices
asked for window and balcony seats
along the Champs Elysees and for
hotel accommodations. In the vicin-
ity of the Arc de Triomphe the prices
paid for the rental Of window for
two hours would provide homes for
INDECENT families for years. For a
single window seat from 5000 to $500
will be paid, and the price of bal
cony situated midway between the
Place la Concorde and the Arc de
Triomphe is advertised at $4,000.

eral manager OF the H. NJ Wagner
Company, Inc, wholesale grocers.

eign countries is given as an explana.
ton of the present shortage by Mr..

ton comes from Cuba, Porto Rico, and
the West Indies. 1t is shipped via
New York and is refined in that city.
The freight rates prevent the advan-
tageous purchase OF sugar for Wash
ingtOn in the New Orleans market, it

attitude OF the organization with re-

WON'T PUT ALIENS
IN NAVY YARD Jobs

THE Navy Yard will not employ
any person in the new optical shop
who does not pass all the civil servi,so
requirements. The navy does not en-
gage workers. but its employees arc
certified by the Civil Service Commits
sion, and it is not probable the com
mission will certify aliens for posi-
lions at the Navy Yard here or any
where else"
This was the statement today of
Franklin D. Roosevelt. Assistant Sec
rotary Of the Navy, following the re-
port that friction had developed al
the Navy Yard between navy officers
and the Navy Yard MachiniSts' Union
over the proposed transfer of an op-
teal shop. employing Germans and
other foreign-born workers, from
Rochester. n. Y, to the Navy Yard in
Washington.
IF they don't want the shop here
the navy will move il to some other
place." was Acting Secretary ROose-
veit's statement.
The optical shop at Rochester,
taken over by the Government
eighteen months ago, will be moved
here July ], and arrangements have
been made to make the new shop the
most complete in the United States.
The principal point at issue be-
tween navy officers and union off,
Gals today, il was said, is the
projected appointment Of a German
to the post of chief mechanic in the
new shop. This appointment will be
fought by the Navy Yard Machinists'
Union, il was said.
With the German optical worker
slated for the post OF master mechanic
in the optical shop. there will be in
troduced into important posts at the
shop about IFS men and twelve
women who are now employed by the
optical company at Rochester, n. Y.
The majority OF the officials and di-
rectors were aliens and came under
obsenvation Of the military and naval
