PRINCE CAROL SETS SAIL
WITHOUT SEEING WASHINGTON.

After all II. r. II. Carol, crown
prince of Rumania. set sail yester-
day without coming to Washington.
That was quite what was to have
been expected, since his visit to this
country was entirely unofficial, but
one has learned to expect the un-
expected nowadays. The young
prince expressed his intention of re.
turning next year and said that his
next visit would probably be in COM
pany with his beautiful mother
Queen Marie of Rumania~He had a
number of parties given for him in
New York, but mostly they were
stag affairs. There was one pleas
ant exception however, the recep-
ton which Princess Ghika gave for
him and his suite at her apartment
in New York. You remember her
I'm sure. She's an Englishwoman
who was married to Rumanian
noble and she spent several winters
in Washington to be with her sister,
Nine. Zaldivar, whose husband was

when DR.. Peso, President-elect OF
Brazil, and his charming wife were

afraid Washington is doomed to dis

strictly unofficial" Indeed, I'm told
that he is coming for a rest and posi-
bly, for treatment under a famous
physician before he takes up his new
and arduous duties.

long time, being called homo to flll

the Republic OF Panama. Later he !e-

FRENCH TRIBUTE
TO AMERICANS
Paris Rich in Memorials Of a
Lasting International
Friendship.

Probably no city In the world is so
rich In memorials of an international
friendship as Paris-so many are
those which bear witness to the close
ties between France and the United
States. BY their number and their
nature they have long impressed the
many American visitors to Paris, and
they have had new interest and sig
nlficance for the hundreds of thou
sands of American soldiers who have
seen them during the past three years.
Statues and stately memorials In
squares and parks, busts and paint
ings in public buildings, tablets, monu-
ments, the names of streets and ave-
nues, the cherished traditions of this
neighborhood or that. all remind us
eloquently of what lay behind the I'M
pulse that on the very first day of
the great war carried the heart of
America swiftly and unerringly to the
side of France Ever since 1890, when
Paris went into mourning for Ben
jamin Franklin, the city has manifest
ed frequently the strength of Its ties
with America, and there are many
shrines to which the feet of Americans
In Paris inevitably turn. Of all such
shrines none. perhaps, is more sacred
than the grave of Lafayette in lit

tween Boulevard de Plcpus and Rue de
