The government of the republic
learns with great regret the Off
cial announcement Of your depart
ure. 1t can not forget the tragic
circumstances during which your

public, after giving France her in
valuable moral support and the
powerful help of her friendly as
sistance, came to take her place
by the side of France and fight
with heroism for the same cause,

been kind enough to make known
| to me.
Pray accept, Mr.. Ambassador,
the assurance of my highest con-
sideration and of my warmest
friendly sentiments"

GROWTH OF AMERICAN
COMMERCE STIRS BRITISH
Labor Asked to Help Country Recover
Business That United States
Has Gained.

London.-The labor situation in it's
bearing on future industry is the en-
tirely dominant question here and de-
bate in both branches of the legisla.
ture shows the extent of it's influence
on all classes. Lord Crawford de-
scribed industry as stagnant, alarmed
and nervous and that is hardly an ex-
aggeration.
Strenuous efforts are being made to
grapple with the numerous issues
which are causing unrest. The gov
eminent decision to call a national
conference of employers and en-
ployes and the premiers prolonged
talk to the miners executive COM
mittee, during which he requested
postponement of the strike decision
until opportunity could be afforded to
make thorough inquiry into mining
conditions, somewhat eased the ten
sion.
Statistics showing the enormous
growth of the American export trade
and the shipping output provide the
texts for strong appeals against labor
action which must retard the trade
recovery of Britain and these, to-
gether with the visit to Europe of F.
A. Nanderlip and Mr.. Benedict, pres
ident and vice president of the Ma
tional City bank of New York, lay the
foundation for great extension of
American banking enterprise. There
are other evidences of the restless en-
ergy of American financial and COM
mercial interests.

READY. TO FIGHT FOR THE PLAN
New England Gives President Rousinq
Welcome Home-During Speech
He Was Applauded Time and
Time Again.

Boston.-President Wilson will fight
at home as he has fought abroad for
a league of nations. Returning from
France he had been on American soil
not more than three hours before he
threw down the gauntlet to those who
distrust the proposed concert of gov
ernments based, he said, on the Amer
lean ideals which had won the war
for justice and humanity.
An America confiping to her own
territories her conception and her
purpose to make men free, he said,
he would have to kee her honor for
those narrow, selfish, provincial pur-
poses which seem so dear to some
minds that have no sweep beyond
their nearest horizon
Before a responsive audience that
filled the biggest auditorium in the
city the president pictured the old
world fighting with stubborn des-
peration and expecting in the end
nothing better for the peoples than
they had known for centuries. He
pictured the American nation enter
ing the lists with new purpose
the freedom Of mankind. The old
world had caught the vision, and any
treaty of peace drawn otherwise than
in the new spirit would be nothing
more, he asserted, than a modern
scrap Of paper" and the present
peace, unless guaranteed by the uni
ted forces of the civilized world could
not stand a generation.
Invites Test of Sentiment.
Bending over the speakers table,
his face set in tense lines and his
right hand clenched, the president ex-
claimed: ANY man who thinks that
America will take part in giving the
world any such rebuff and disappoint-
ment as that does not know America
| invite him to test the sentiment of
the nation"
Interrupted by applause, the presi-
dent halted and then evoked the
greatest demonstration of the after
noon when he added that he would
accept no sweeter challenge than the
issue of the American purpose in the
war.
Il have fighting blood in me-" he
said with apparent feeling, "and it is
sometimes a delight to let it have
scope, but if it is a challenge on that
occasion, it will be an indulgence"
At another point in his address the
prpc i6apt said that If the great homo
of the world for league of nations
was disappointed he would wish for
my part never to have had America
plaqy any part whatever in this at
tempt to emancipate the world |
have no more doubt of the verdict Of
America in this matter than | have
doubt of the blood that is in me-"

ARCHAEOLOGY ENABLES
EX-KAISER TO FORGET

AMERONGEN, July Is, Correspond
ence of the Associated Press. "A re-
sumption of his former interest in
archaeology is one of the means adopt
ed recently by the former German en-
peror to keep his mind from dwelling
constantly on his position. Prof. Duerp-
field, one of the most eminent archaeol-
ogists of Germany, came to join the
Hohenzollern circle a month or so ago
and since his arrival has spent several
hours almost every afternoon in his
former monarch's company.
Every phase of archaeological re-
search is discussed during these con-
versati6ns, in the curse of which the
professor entertains the exile with de-
tails of the discoveries made by him and
his companions in Palestine, Syria IA
other sections of the near east. The
professor is an old companion of Hohen-

TALK ABOUT TRIAL Is
ACITATINC TO WILLIAM

AMERONGEN, July Is. Correspond
ence of the Associated Press. THE
former German emperor displayed
marked irritation after reading Of the
peace treaty in which the allies an
nounced their intention of putting him
on trial on charges OF violation of in
ternational morality and Of the %sanctity
of treaties. For several hours after he
had read the clause no one at the castle
of Amerongen had the courage to APP
proach him. He sat in a chair before
the main entrance to the castle entirely
alone and apparently in deep thought,
while the former empress, Auguste Vic
tOria, and the members of his suite
walked in the grounds, occasionally
glancing in his direction.
Next day he seemed to be in a state
of nervous agitation, for he frequently
ceased his saving and walked away,
leaving those who assist him to con-
tinue the work alone. Later, however,
he resumed with increased energy, so
much so that one of his assistants was
forced to take to bed for some days
in order to recover from a chill caught
while perspiring at the other end Of
the saw.
Subsequently the dull life at the cas-
tie resumed it's ordinary dullness and
since the first Display of annoyance
Count Hohenzollern has shown few
signs of being much affected by the
conditions of the peace treaty.
The former emperor has Sawn his
4,000th log, and it is asserted by some
Of his retainers that he intends to bring
the number up to 10000. The logs,
which now form a large heap, are
placed in piles to dry in preparation for
use as fuel in the castle next winter.
