ROME, Jan. 4,-(By Associated Press).-President Wilson left Rome for Paris shortly after o'clock tonight with the cheers of the Roman throng that had gathered to witness his de parture, ringing in his ears. His visit to the Italian capital had proved the busiest of his European trip, and it was the most demonstrative.
 The presidential party is not expect ed to reach Paris until Tuesday morn ing, as the itinerary provides for stops at Genoa, Milan and Turin.
 The president is represented as OK pecting, on his return to the French capital, to find the peace delegates at the point of deciding on the first prin- ciple of the league of nations, thus pay ing the way to the disposal of what he regards as the necessary preliminaries to the peace, before his return to the United States about the middle of Feb ruary.

 ROME. Friday, Jan. 3.-By Asso- ciated Press )-President Wilson today had probably the hardest single days program since he came to Europe and he accomplished it while thousands of Romans and citizens of other parts of 1ldlA iOOheu OH anu CleHIeU- Alter the procession from the station to the Quir- inal, the president visited the queen mother, had conferences with Premier Orlando and Foreign Minister Sonnino, gave an audience to the council of the Royal Academy of Sciences, was re- Ceived at the house of parliament, was the guest of honor at a state dinner given by the king, and ended the day with , reception at the capitol, where he received the citizenship of Rome.
 There appeared to be more onlookers than there were leaves on the palm trees of Rome. There were too many people for the streets, too many people for the great squares, and too many for the trees buildings, monuments and other points of vantage.
 The atmosphere was that of an aver age American town on a holiday, to which was added the Latin touch so familiar to American tourists This, however. should be multiplied in the | imagination by about one thousand The result is a fairly accurate picture of Rome as it was today.
 After one month of rain, sunlight had come to brighten the parks and the gardens and the city was fresh and glistenng when the president arrived.

FOR A z IN | UNIT
Merger of Topeka Credit and
Merchant Ass'ns Proposed.
Plan Considered Today at
Meeting at the c. of c.

Members of the Topeka Credit
Clearing House association and the
Retail Merchants association met at
noon today at the Chamber of Com
merce to consider a plan for the con-
solidation of the two bodies.
A. l.. Oliger, secretary of the Cham
Der of Commerce. presided at the
meeting and placed before the body
tentative proposition and plans for the
coordination.
While the credit association is an
established factor in Topeka business
affairs and has grown to considerable
chants association is as yet an untried
become one of the most important of
commercial organizations, it is not yet
firmly established. However, a large
per cent of the members of both Or
CARNATIONS expressed themselves as
heartily in favor of the proposed con-
solidation and stated that they would
do all they could to complete the de-
tails.
1t is felt that the retail association
could not and would not command so
great desire for membership in it's
body without the credit feature work
ed out in the system of its organiZa-
ton. For that reason it is considered
highly desirable to get the credit asso-
citation into closer connection with the
retailers. Altho it was expected today
to complete the plans. many members.
altho stating that they were in favor
of the move, expressed the opinion
that a decision should be left to some
time at which a more representative
gathering of both organizations could
be arranged
