Yesterday was poilu's day in France.
Laying aside with characteristic
abandon, the cards of yesterday and
OF tomorrow, the republic plunged
into an epic expression of the pas
sionate love with which she regards
her little soldiers.
Even the omnipotent legions of
Napoleon never heard the like of the
welcome that was extended to the
Homecoming poilu in Paris. A mil
lion persons participated in one form
or another In the most impressive
military pageant that even this land
of martial members has ever beheld.
The necessar yparade was an inter-
allied affair, but. in it's final ANALYSIS
it was Frances supreme tribute to
the immortal glory won by that
humble, insignificant looking hero,
the French poilu.
Frenchmen are dividing into widely
divergent schools. into classes Bit

to a Russian wireless dispatchN received
here today. The town was occupied
'i Blockade chief Topic.
Paris, July 16.-CBy A. P0-The
council of FIVE met Tuesday afternoon,
its chief topic of discussion being the
Russian blockade. There have been
proposals that the powers shall allow
ships to enter Russian ports under
special permits, the United States
having constantly insisted that there
be no blockade against Russia except
such as incidental to the embargo on
imports to Germany. Consequently
the American delegates. were not ready
to take any action in the matter until
instructions have been received from
Washington.
It has been suggested that most of
the Black sea ports could be blockaded
by, the Denilkine government, which is
friendly to the allies, but the supreme
council has not decided to ask him to
declare such a blockade.
A note has been received from Bella
Kun, the foreign minister of. the Hun
Earian soviet government. declaring
that the Czechs and Rumanians vio-
lated the terms of the armistice with
Hungary and that consequently Hun
garian forces were ordered to cross the
boundaries fixed by the armistice.

MUCK DIDN'T WANT TO
GO BACK TO GERMANY
CONDUCTOR OF BOSTON
49,. SYMPHONY.
John R. Creighton, of Depart
ment of Justice Tells Why
Enemy Alien Is Still Held.

Washington, July f6. - DIR. Kari
Muck, former conductor of the Bos-
ton symphony orchestra, interned
during the war as a dangerou en-
envy alien, still is at Fort Oglethorpe,
Ga, John r. Creighton, of the de-
partment of justice, told the house
immigration committee today at a
hearing on a bill to deport undesir-
able aliens.
In view of recent reports that DR..
Muck had left Charleston, S. c., on a
government transport with several
hundred aliens. Representative Sic
gel, of New York, asked why he had
been deported.
"Dr. Muck has not been deported, "
Mr. Creighton said. He did not
choose to go. The fact that he is re-
tanned at Fort Oglethorpe places him
in the class with prominent German
business men, held there because we
believed their cases were serio s."
The reason for Dr. Muck's intern
ment was not disclosed by the wit
ness.
When the first group of aliens re-
leased from Fort Oglethorpe for de-
portation reached Charleston three
weeks ago, press dispatches from the
South Carolina seaport insisted that
Muck was among the number, and
went so far as to print an alleged
interview with him. Col. Penrose,
commander of the prison barracks at
Fort Oglethorpe. stated that the
Charleston report was in error and
that the leader of the Boston SYM
phony was still at Fort Oglethorpe.
The foregoing dispatch substantiates
Col. Penrose's statement,
No more than forty or fifty of the
five hundred enemy aliens still in
termed at Fort Oglethorpe and Fort
Douglas, Utah, can be deported I'M
der present laws, Mr. Creighton said
in urging additional legislation.
Eighty per cent. of those now in
termed are not wanted in this coun-
try" he added.
MANY German and Austrian sub
jects," Mr.. Creighton said, decided
to stay in the United States and take
their medicine"
But we cannot go much further in
paroling these people" the com;lit-
tee was told, without LETTING oI'
those who were considered dangerc"@
during the war"

REAL ETATE MEN
OPPOSE CARBARN SITE
TIME TO GET AWAY FROM
TWO-BLoCK TOWN IDEA.
Demand for Homes Heavy
Despite High Cost Of
Building.

At the regular monthly meeting of
the Chattanooga Real Estate ex-
change held at noon Wednesday at
the Read house, local real estate deal
ers went on record as being unan-
imously opposed to the car barn site
as a location for the memorial au-
ditorium. The action was taken fol-
lowing q few remarks by s. o. Bank
son, who pointed out that If Chatta-
nooga would ever be a real city she
must get away from the two-block
business section plan. The real
estate men. at the motion of Mr..
Bankson, further offered their SER
vices free Of charge to the auditorium
commission in the work of finding a
suitable site for the auditorium.
The meeting was attended by
twenty-four of the city's most prom
inent dealers. Not one was found to
be in favor of the site, which 1t Is
reported, has practically been ae-
cepted by the auditorium commits
sion. E. Y. Chaplin made an inter-
esting talk upon conditions, asserting
the real estate men were dealing
in property which was actually sold
below the market level. He showed
how prices are dependent entirely
upon the amount of money in circu-
lation, and thus real estate values
which have not increased to any
great extent in the past year or more
are actually below value.
The question of whether or not
people are willing to pay the price
for new homes, which must be built
under the present high cost of labor
and material. was answered by ]. j.
q Ill H. -Oe
he had been able to handle for build
ers were taken even before they are
completed. C. w. Howard, secretary
of the industrial bureau of the Chat
tanooga Chamber of Commerce, de-
clared that Chattanooga must either
interest local manufacturers in build
ing homes to be sold to their workers
on easy payments or create housing
corporation. 1t developed that sew
eral industrial plants have already
adopted the former plan.
