LONDON PAPERS
PRAISE YANKS
WITH PERSHING
Honor Men Who Marched in
the Peace Day
Celebration

London. Aug. 21.-The provisional
regiment of American soldiers who
followed General Pershing in the
Peace Day procession was the flrst
sample of American fighting troops
to march in London. Other organi-
cations seen here had been on their
way TO the battlefields, while these
mern wee returning.
Here were the Americans in steel
helmets, marching in companies eight
abreast with bayonets fixed, said
the Daily Express. They were as
jovial as any when the procession
halted, for 4 time, but while they
marched their faces were as serious
and as immovable as the gravest of
craven images. They made pro-
found impression on the onlookers.
Their marching was Roman in its
iron sternness and precision"
"A magnificent regiment II was,
said the Daily Telegraph, young
men all of them and the quintessence
of the alert and 1.-the. Khaki clad
in brown steel helmets they looked
most workmanlike.
How magniticently they marched,
swinging past in perfect alignment,
with a long. easy stride, heads held
high and shoulders squared said
the Daily News. They are greeted
NoclterouSly With as good cheerlnS
as I ever remember having heard in
London"
There was a grim, indomitable
look about Pershing's men," said
the Daily Sketch, IAN effect greatly
heightened by their shell helmets,
and it made all the more wonderful
the burst of clear color which fol-
lowed as their massed banners came
10y. Old Glories, along with the rest,
held American fashion so that the
fabric flew freely and no shred of
color was lost. The cheering of
the crowd turned at the sight to a
great All OF delight. Except for
the passing of the massed colors of
the Guards with their laurelled
staffs, it was the most picturesque
moment of the procession"
GOOD old Yanks,' thus are the
Americans affectionately if some
what Familiarity greeted" said the
Morning Post in its story of the
procession.

For Itching Torture

There is one remedy that seldom
fails to stop itching torture and relieve
skin irritation and that makes the skin
soft, clear and healthy.
ANY druggist can supply you with
zemo, which generally overcomes all
skin diseases. Acne, eczema, itch, pim-
pies, rashes, blackheads in most cases
give way to zemo. Frequently, minor
blemishes disappear overnight. Itching
usually stops instantly. Zemo is safe,
antiseptic liquid, clean, easy to use and
dependable. 1t costs only 35c; an extra
large bottle, Sl.00. 1t will not stain, is
not greasy or sticky and is positively
safe for tender, sensitive skins.

THE HIGH SCHOOL GATHERING

The high school meeting at the university which has
just closed has been by all odds the most successful gath
ering OF the kind ever held in the state. The great gather
ing has increased in scope and interest year after year.
1t has developed from almost an exclusively athletic meet
to a great gathering in which almost every branch Of cd
ucation affecting the high schools has been represented.
Feature after feature has been added and the result has
from all parts OF the state, and to develop interest in ev-
cry line Of high school ACTIVITY. The debates which have
come to be a feature of these meets have been exceeding
ly successful and greatly beneficial. The May fete which
has been developed in recent years was this year a fea-
ture OF unusual beauty and attraetiveness. This years
May fete can correctly be described asa classical enter
tainment, and anything more beautiful has never been
presented in the state.
A feature entirely new this year was the series of
musical contests. Those who were responsible for the
Incorporation of this splendid feature are entitled to the
highest COMMUNICATION. The idea itself is an excellent
one and the manner in which it worked out leaves moth
ing to be desired. The musical feature is timely and APP
propriate and the interest which has been taken in it is
significant of the lively interest which is growing in all
our schools in the development of musical taste. The re-
spouse met throughout the state to the invitation to par
ticipate in these affairs was all that could be desired.
One feature of the gathering to which all it's varied
elements has contributed is the meeting on the same
ground of a great body Of students representing every
section of the, state. and the throwing Of these students
together in conference and friendly rivalry, If nothing
else were accomplished the meeting of these young minds
on a common plane is bound to be productive of great
good. 1t must result in a decrease of sectionalism, in the
growth of mutual respect and esteem, and in the deyel-
opment of a high type Of citizenship. From every stand
point, therefore, the success of this gathering is highly
gratifying and those whose efforts have made it a sue
cess are entitled to the gratitude OF the entire state.

THE NONSTOP FLIGHT

The achievement of the American aviators in the
journey from Newfoundland to the Azores, 1900 miles
without stop marked an epoch in the history Of the nav
igation Of the year. 1t is only a few years since the
French pilot, Blierot, astonished the world by flyine
across the English Channel. Before that time aerial
flights had been more like spasimodic jumps. Today reg
ular passenger service is maintained between Paris and
London. and the airplanes which make the flight travel
on a close time schedule. We have read much of the re-
naarkable feats of aviators on the battlefield and it was a
toregone conclusion that as soon as there was a chance
to devote time to the long flight the crossing Of the At
lntic would be undertaken.
The trip from Newfoundland to the Azores was made
in about fifteen hours. 1t was a Nonstop flight, although
the arrangements were such that in case of necessity
stops could be made at will. Some criticism of the ex-
pertinent was made on this score, and it seemed to be
held that a flight which would not necessarily be a non
stop flight could scarcely be counted a real flight across
the Atlantic. Pilots of our naval planes have disposed
OF that objection by covering the distance actually with
cut stop. They have accomplished a feat never before
equalled in the matter of time regardless of method be-
cause on no other occasion have men covered a n equal
distance in a similar time period.
The success of this adventure by no means solves
our problems Of aerial navigation. 1t was not expected
to do SO, but a better knowledge has been gained Of the
problems that are to be solved, and therefore a step has
been taken in the direction of their solution. AS between
the seaplane and the airplane proper it seems that the
former is destined to be Of the greater utility in the cross
ing OF large bodies Of water. The test of the serviceabil-
ity of any carrying device is not alone its ability to travel
when all the conditions are favorable, but its ability to
stop and to start again. The renewal Of the journey is
especially necessary at sea- On land a flying machine
in case Of need may alight and the trip may be abandon
ed without serious injury to anyone. AT sea this is i'm
possible. Under ordinary conditions of travel there will
be no line Of destroyers stretched out across the ocean to
guide the pilots on their way, and to be ready to lend a
hand in case of accident. Unless the machine is capable
OF renewing its journey the lives of all on board are jeop-
ardized.
Whatever the developments Of the future may be ii
VIII always remain a matter Of pride to Americans not
only that in their country was the first successful FLYING
device perfected, but that their countrynne en- were the first
successfully to cross the great ocean by the air route.

PRICE FIXING

In the opinion of Attorney General Palmer, almos:
any agreement among producers and tradesmen for the
fixing of prices is unlawful unless specially authorized
by act of congress. When railroads are under private
management they are excluded from such rulings as
that Of the attorney general, for in their case the gov
ernment participated directly in the fixing OF rates. Spe-
cal provision is also made for concerted action among
American dealers with reference to prices Of goods for
export. But in the case of most lines of business, anu
for the purposes Of domestic trade, all understandings
as to prices are prohibited. The attorney general does
not include in his opinion only the fixing Of prices Nv
the adoption of resolutions or the signing of written
agreements. He points out that there are many ways
on. which mems minds may meet without the creation
OF a record or the making of direct statements or prom
ises. The substance OF the opinion is that any under
standing, however informal, between two or more COM
petitiye dealers as to the price of an article ia a viola
ton OF the Sherman law.
