appeared with the following story: His

her not to cry for him as he had been the

FRANCE IS PREPARED TO
 HOUSE AMERICAN VISITORS

Paris, June 2-American visitors to France during the coming summer can be housed and there is no need of worry on the part of those contemplat- ing the trip tine French tourist bureaus assert This confidence is the result of an inquiry made al the various steam ship offices, which revealed that there will not be more than 40,0o0 American tourists coming to France during the next ihree months because of lack Of accommodations Original estimates placed the number at one hundred uhou- sand but later investigations developed that it was impossible 10 transport half this amount.
 In order to be certain of providing places for their guests. the Paris hotel owners have asked the government to turn over at once hotels at present occu- pied by various French and allied mis- sions and other officials. The govern ment has promised to give up at lesai four or five hotels by July first and in an emergency these can be used 10 take care Of the summer rush of. tourists
 At the tourist agencies the belief i: expressed that the senate will ratify tho chamber Of deputies measure appropriate ing thirty million francs for tn correction of hotels in the devastated regions and otherwise facilitating trips to the battle l fields by tourists. If the money is mad' available results canot be obtained unti next year, when the French hope it wi. be possible for all who so desire to com'
 to France.
 ] A conference of French government of hcials. bankers and hotel owners will b. i held next autumn with the purpose O
 arranging for number of ne whotels t'
 be financed by joint cooperation of thu government and bankers.

INDICTMENTS AGAINST THE @
 AMERICAN. WooLEN. co. ARGUED

New York, June "A motion to quash the federal indictments returned last week against the American Woolen Company of New York, the American Woolen Company of Afassa chusetts and William NJ. Wood, president of both companies, charging them with profteer- ing in sales of wool cloth, was argued before Judge Julian. w. Mack in United States district court here today
 No decision was rendered, Judge Mack directing opposing counsel, Charles Evans Hughes for the defendants, and Herbert c. Smythe, special counsel for the government. to sumbit briefs not lat- CT than next Tuesday.
 Mir. Hughes, in arguing for the motion contended the indictment. which contain ed fourteen counts alleging fourteen specific sales of cloth at unjust and un-
 reasonable" prices. did not charge any crime. He maintained that cloth or pieces of cloth alone are not wearing ap- parel and that the sales of cloth do not constitute sales of wearing apparel under the Lever act, which the indictmen; charges was violated.
 Mir Hughes maintained that wearing apparel and foodstuffs differ in that fooo is usable without other preparations than | that of nature, while cloth does not be. come clothing until fashioned into gar. ments.
 I Mr. Smythe, in his opposing argument | declared that cloth made for wearing ap 1 parel was used for no other purpose and could not Dc used for any other. Ht 1 contended that the sale of cloth whici i. was intended to be fashioned into cloth 1 ing comes within provisions of the act

SHIPPING BOARD MAY SELL
 VESSELS TO FOREIGN INTERESTS

Washington, June 2.-while giving American shipping interests preference in the acquisition of government-owned ton- mage, merchant marine Legislation as agreed on today by senate and house con- ferees would authorize the shipping board to sell to foreign interests should "dili- gent efforts'' to dispose of the craft in this country fail
 Sales to foreign concerns, however, could not be made under the compro- mise bill only on a vote of five of the seven members of the shipping board
 The legislation as agreed upon would direct the sale of the government-own- ed vessels as 'soon as practicable with good business methods" but no time lim- it for the sale is fixed. Pending sale of the ships, the board would be authorized to charter them to American concerns. Consideration of the conference re- port will be taken up in the house to- morrow and following it's expected adop- tion will be called upon without delay in the senate in an effort to secure final action before the expected adjournment of congress Saturday.
 As approved by the conferees the bill would require 75 per cent of the stock in companies operating ships in coast | wise trade to be American-owned with Americans holding the controlling inter- est in ship companies engaged in foreign | trade
 | The bill further would empower the board to set aside annually for the next i five years 25,000, ,000 to be used as a l construction fund from which to assist American citizens in the building of new 1 vessels for the establishment and main- tenance of service on steamship lines | deemed desirable by the board. The sen- ate bill fixes this amount at $50, ,Oo0, ,000 1 Owing to opposition of house conferees 1 provisions authorizing the board during | the five year period to construct new vessels on it's own account were eliminat. ] ed.
 While the bill makes no provisions toi l a direct subsidy it would authorize thu
 board and the postmaster general ''ir
 aid of the development of a merchant
 marine" to determine from time to tim,
 the just and reasonable rate of com
 pensation to be paid for carrying Amer
 ican mails"
 In order to give the American mer
 chant marine every advantage for it
 development, the bill would authorize tn
 president to notify foreign government
 within ninety days after it becomes
 law of the abrogation of treaties whicl restrict discrimination in favor of Amer ican ships.
