srst of q series of two-dny trips
which will be taken by The Her
aids PathhndinG Party for the ben
eft of WashinEton's motorists.
Those who have gained the i'm
preston that the roads to Rich
mond forbid a pleasant trip should
discard it. While the majority of
the road is a dirt one the entire
route can be negotiated without
any desire on the part of the mo-
torist to use forbidden language.
Fredericksburg which Is 64.2

Arrive in Fredericksburg.

Arrived in Fredericksburg the
first move is to appease the Inner
Man. Then a brief itinerary is
mapped out to several important
historical spots.
visit is made to the monument
erected to Mary, the Mother of
Washington" This simple but eff
fective monument is near the Con-
federate and National cemeteries
which contain 1890 graves. 1t
was erected, the monument reads,
by her countrymen." George
/ Washington's mother died in Fred
ericksburg in 1889.
Not far from this monument will
be found another monument to
General Hugh Mercer, distinguished
colonial officer. who was severely
wounded in Braddock's attack on
Fort Duquesne and who afterwards
fought in the Revolution and was
mortally wounded at the battle of
Princeton.
John Paul Jones' Home.
Then, on one of the main streets
will be seen a historical site of
which little is known. While the
house itself has now been remod-
eled into a store its significance is
maintained by a tablet which reads
as follows: This tablet marks the
only home in America of John Paul
Jones. He was appointed a lieu
tenant in the Continental Navy
while still a resident of Virginia" I"
After Jack has taken photo
graphs of all of these places Tom
singled his way to the edge of the
city where a signpost bids the tour
ist good bye, come again" and
the tour "on to Richmond" is con-
tinued.

consequence on the road from

French Conducting Campaigns to
Wrest Control of Tremendously
Rich Region.
BY WILLIAM +. NASH.
BY Cable to The Star and Chicago
Daily News. Copyright, 1920.

PARIS, June 25.-"The pacilication
of Morocco is not yet complete, but
when it is, it will become the most
valuable of all the French colonies"
This was typical sentence in a
singularly Interesting debate just fin
ished in the chamber of deputies.
Minerals abound in Morocco, oil and
phosphates have been discovered and
water exists in abundant quantities,
so that the cultivation of wheat. other
grain, cotton and cattle can be de-
veloped immensely
Casablanca has grown into a first
class port The country already has
40,030 French colonists and 7,000.0 000
Arabs or BerberS. Its flouriShing con-
dition lis due largely to the work of
the great administrator, NJ. LyauteX
who is comparable in every way to
Champlain, Duplex and other famous
French coloniZers of the olden times.
Two Army Operations.
The occasion for the debate was
the request of the government for
an army credit of 500. 900 900 francs
(normally $1,000 ,O00.) Never since
the French occupation have the
natives been quite subdued. Now it
seems that two military operations
are in progress; one to surround the
hostile Benz Ourrian tribe in the
southern mountains. and the other TO
establish a chan of posts in the neu-
tral zone to the north.
IF the French do not do this" said
Andre Lefecre. minister of war, "the
Spaniards will. At present France
has about 10000 soldiers in Morocco,
of whom more than $1,000 are native
Africans. She wants to raise the fig
ure to $4,000

PARIS, June 25.-Count Sforza the
new Italian minister of foreign af
fairs, discussed the results of the
Boulogne negotiations in his special
car on the way to Paris.
Italy, he said, had made plea
for 20 per cent of the German repa-
rations. and Premier Lloyd George
had shown sympathy for Italy's
claim. The count said he was sat
isfied with the decision to place the
matter in the hands of committee
of financial experts. who would re-
port at the Brussels conference on
July 2
ItaIy's Plight Outlined.
Il discussed with Mr.. Lloyd George
the reported Anglo French plan by
which France would obtain SIS per
cent and England 25 per cent of the
fact that Italy's economic plight
necessitated 20 per cent share
which We could not obtain if the
Anglo French plan were adopted. I
bow respectfully to France in her
claims and in her needs but we
est nation. Our casualties amounted
to $50. 600, or a little more than half
of those of France. We are face to
face with insolvent Austria. Ger
many alone can and must pay
Our pensions amount to 30,000 000,-
900 lire (nominally $4,000. 900 000) and
80, 900. 100000 lire-for reconstruction
a total of 10000 100000 lire. Two of
our provinces are in ruins. Premier
Lloyd George said he saw the justice
of our plea.
Russ Question Unchanged.
There was little or nothing done at
the conference on the Russian ques-
ton. 1t was only briefly discussed and
now stands in about the same posi-
ton as it did before. There was no
military operations in Asia Minor,
but I did point out the fact that Mar
shall Foch himself had fixed the num-
Der of allied troops in the east al 400,-
900 and that 10000 Greek troops
would be insufficient for the task de-
cided upon"
Count Sforza dismissed with a smile
and wave of his hand the Fiume
question.
1--WE are not paying any attention to
that now. 1t is creating no worry in
Italy. We will settle it when We come
to it, he said.
Foch and Millernnd Pleased.
On the same special train were Mar
shal Foch, and Premier Millerand.
Their faces were wreathed in smiles
and both said they were extremely
satisfied with the results Of the con-
ference.
This was especially true of Marshal
Foch, who employed no restraint in
showing his great satisfaction with
the German military disarmament de-
cision.,
