Belgian Royalty Are
Guests Of Pershing
at Chau1nont Castle

Chaumont, France. March 2l.--
King Albert and Queen Elizabeth
of Belgian arrived here last night
for a visit to General Pershing at
his chateau. The royal pair made
the trip by motor car, the weather
being unfavorable for the journey
by airplane that they had con-
templated. The king and queen
were accompanied by Colonel Tilk-
ems, aide de camp to the court, a
second Belgian officer. and Countess
Decarmen-C hemay, lady-in-waiting
to the queen. They were met at
the great entrance of the chateau
by General Pershing and his per-
sonal staff, dined quietly and passed
the night in the chateau.
& Snow fell heavily here in the hills
of the upper Marine all last night.
But this did not interfere with the
reception given the Belgian royal
ties today, at the Chaumont. city
hall. The little city was brightly
decorated and the streets were
crowded with visitors from nearby
towns, including many American
troops from neighboring canton
ments. Nearly all the French and
American officers of the staff were
present and the American head
quarters band furnished the music.
Hundreds of school children lined
the city hall square. waving Bel
yian.and French Hags.
The Belgian royalties, after the
reception at the city hall had been
concluded, went to the Courban air
drome and reviewed the 8lst Amer
lean division. They then returned
to the chateau and took tea with
General Pershing, his staff. the To-
cal, civil and military authorities
and the chiefs of the allied mis-
sions.

Chickens in Minister'S Yard Solve
mystery" Of Hen House Depredations
That Is, Neighbors Had
That Idea, But the Facts
Are Decidedly Differ
ent, But Interesting.

When Rev. George Van Wrinkle,
pastor of Olivet Baptist church. was
observed in his backyard yester-
day, administering. breakfast to a
polyglot flock of chickens, neighbors
Immediately concluded that they had
solved the mystery of recent series
of hen-house depredations.
The fact that this minister did not
have, any feathered possessions on
Thursday and was we'll supplied in
the morning, added to the interest OF
the occasion; and the further fact
that the flock represented every
variety owned in the nc shborhood
stimulated further suspicion.
Different Kind of Flock.
Some of the neighbors walked over
to the ministerial habitat and viewed
the Van Wrinkle. chickens furtively,
without indicating that they ques-
toned the methods of possession.
One neighbor remarked that it was
a nice morning for the first day of
spring. and another facetiously OBJ
served that the minister now had
charge of another kind of a flock.
The truth, however, was, made
known to those who were not al
ready informed that on Thursday
night S. members of the Olivet Bap-
fist church congregation met by ap-
pointment at Fortieth street and
Grand avenue. and then proceeded to
the Van Wrinkle home, where they
surprised the minister and his wife
by presenting 10 live chickens, one

der and that he would beat him
two to one"
M. M. Robertson, election Judge,

watching you in that booth and we
find changes on these ballots which
/ consider it my duty to call to the
attention OF this board"
A Il wouldn't do anything like that"

he could have made the alleged
erasures.
