President Back In Paris After
Two Days in Belgium.

Paris. June 2o.-President Wilson
and his party arrived here this morn
ing at o'clock after a two day trip to
Brussels and the war zone in Belgium.
There was no formal reception and
Mr.. Wilson drove Immediately to the
Paris white House, The president
had a good nights rest and said that
he was not tired. He expressed his
enjoyment and interest in the trip he
q had taken.
AT IL o'clock the president went to
the Hotel de Crillon and held a con-
ference with the entire personnel of
the American delegation to the peace
conference. including Col. e. NJ.

from his visit to England.
In the two days he spent in Bel

cry honor within the power of King
Albert and his people. The president

coming President Wilson in the house
of parliament yesterday, sounded the
keynote of Belgium's whole attitude
toward American and Americans. He

America
Addressing parliament, President
Wilson took occasion to emphasize the
Importance of the league OF nations.
THE league of nations is the child of
this great war" he said, for it is the
expression of those permanent resolu-
tons which grew out of the temporary
necessities of this great struggle, and
any nation which declines to adhere
to the covenant deliberately turns
away from the telling appeal that has
eyer been made to its conscience and
to its manhood" The president de-
clared that the nation that wishes
to use the league of nations for its
convenience and not for the service
of the rest of the world deliberately
chooses to turn back 20 those bad days
of selfish contest when every nation
thought first and always of itself and
not of its neighbors."
The president announced 1t was his
intention to propose to congress that
the American legation to Belgium be
raised to the rank of an embassy "as
a recognition, as a welcome to Bel
GUM in her new status of complete
independence"

KILLED IN SWING
Charles Byrd EIectrOcuted at
Garfield Park.
Chain Came in Contact With a
Light Wire.

Catching hold of the chain on the
flying swing in Garfield park, which
was short circuited with one of the
electric lighting wires, caused the
death Thursday night of Charles Byrd,
age Is. son of Mr. and Mrs. E. C.
Byrd, of 1915 North Jackson street.
He was taken TO a tent which had
been erected by Kflmaurs King on
the grounds. The boy died soon
after.
With two chums, Neville Oliver and
DINA Sans. Byrd had been boating on
Soldier creek. They left the stream
and started back thru the park. AS
they approached the swing Byrd ran
forward, caught one of the ropes and
tried to swing about the pole. AS
his feet touched the ground hi started
to climb up the rope. The chain
connecting the rope is about eight
feet above the ground and is fastened
to the wheel at the top of the pole.
When his hand touched the chain,
the full force of the current hit him
and he fell to the gre und. Several
persons ran to his assistance. They
took him to the tent but he died a
few minutes later.

park. sent for the .pulmotor. He later

Ellis, Kan, June 20.-The Interna-

in effect, the answer of the patriotic
people of Ellis county to recent dis

from many of the neighboring towns

started an investigation as to the
cause of the tragedy. 1t was found
that one of the chains of the swing
had been thrown over the light wire,
about two feet above the pole. The
chain was disconnected by Sergt H. d.
Sturm and a guard placed to prevent
further danger.
An investigation was also started by
Commissioner Wilbur Stanfield. Stan
field announced that steps would be
taken today to make a temporary
change to reduce the high voltage,
also the circumstances of the accident
were unusual. he said.
The boys father, mother and sister
were in the park at the time of the
accident. The lad had just finished
business college and expected to start
to work in a few days.
Light Wire Removed.
The electric light wire running over
the swing in Garfield park, where
Charles Byrd was electrocuted Thurs
day night, was moved this morning
by Commissioner Stanfield, according
to Commissioner McGiffert. Stanfield
could not be found this morning in
order to obtain his view on the situa-
tion at the point of the accident.
The electric light wire runs sixteen
and clears the top of the swing by
about eighteen inches. There is no
way in which any of the swing chains
could be Topped over the wire, as was
the case in this tragedy, unless they
were thrown over the wire. AS near
as any explanation is possible. it is
felt that children must have been
playing with the swing. Perhaps try
ing to throw the end of the rope over
the electric light wire just to see if
they could accomplish that feat, en-
tirely unconscious of the fact that the
contact of the wire and the chain at
the top of the rope would cause a
short circuit.
Garfield park and other parks will
be examined for the possible chance
of similar accident occurring.

SEES WAR IN FAR EAST
And U. S. VIII Be Involved, Says
Oriental Authority.

Washington. June 20.-War in the
far east in which the United States
will be involved is almost certain in
the near future because of the award
of Shanturg and Kiao Chau to Japan
by the peace conference, Dr. J. w
jerks of New York university, an
authority on Oriental problems, told
the house immigration committee
Thursday.
The award seems so contrary to
right and justice, SO contrary to the
development . of Democratic princi-
pies in the war, so contrary to the
principles for which the Americans
and the allies fought that unless some
factors enter into it that do not now
appear, the decision is almost certain
to bring about war in the far east. in
which the United States will certainly
be involved" jerks said

RATHER BE GOVERNOR
Prefers Office to Presidency, Allen In
dicates-League Losing Popularity.

Denver, Colo, June 20.-Governor
Allen of Kansas, here to address the
firemen and enginemen's convention,
would rather be governor than presi-
dent, for the present anyhow, he indi-
Gated in an interview.
According to Allen, ''the league of
nations is losing popularity with the
Americans"
The more the people analyze it,"
he said, the more uncertain they feel
as to whether it will work. We should
have the peace treaty now and the
league afterward, if analysis proves it
a real peace league"
Governor Allen told the brotherhood
that if government ownership of rail-
roads should be rejected the Plumb
plan for joint operation of roads by
employees and railroad officials would
be the fairest solution of the railroad
problem as far as the general public
is concerned"
