officers of the United States Army and
Navy who were taking the Y M. c. A
sightseeing trip to Versailles, the
most popular of all the sightseeing
trips in Paris.
Every day except Mondays the Y NJ
c. A. charters two special trains on
which it takes an average of 800 en-
listed men and from 100 to $50 officers
to the beautiful palace which cost
Louis XIV so much that the grumbling
started among the people which cul-
minated in the guillotining of Louis
XIV And fully ninety per cent of
those men are surprised at the things
of especial interest to Americans which
they find in that palace of kings
William B. Geoghegan, pastor of the
First Congregational Society of New
Bedford, Mass, the mentor Of the
twelve Y. NJ. G. A, guides who every
day conduct these parties through
Versailles, has written lecture which
largely is responsible for the interest
he Americans take in the palace. Mr..
Geoghegan wrote the lecture for his
own use, when only about eighty men

unusual interest to the American
visitors that it was adopted as the
model from the lectures of all the Y.

INTO a sympathetic and appealing tall
winch he gives as he leads the men
from chamber to chamber.
Mr.. Geoghegan's lecture is so in
formative that French people who can
| understand often attach themselves to
his party instead of following the
french guides, all of who are author
tiles on the historic interest of the
palace. French lieutenant colonel
and three other French officers were
IN the party yesterday, and they not
only listened with much interest but
continually nodded approval. In fact,
their approval was SO pronounced that
an "AO' lieutenant said
I'm bet this "Y" man is a French
| American"
Probably" agreed the Medical
Corps Major, He certainly has re-
markaDle knowledge and understand
ing of France"
Mr.. Geoghegan, however, is very
much American. His home and his
| life work have been in Massachusetts,
not merely as minister, but as
Dattler for public health. 1t was his
| work before the state legislature which
gave New Bedford, Mass, its tuber-
culosis hospital which is one of the
model institutions of America, and he
| has given much of his work to similar
efforts. He came to France il June

THE American soldiers do not come

Catarrh Medicine was prescribed by one
of the best physicians in this country for
years. 1t Is composed of some of the best
