The President had suffered severe
attack of grippe Saturday night. and
1t had been questioned for a time if
the Journey to Montbrison should not
be Cancelled. He, however, had in
sisted upon making the journey.

strict orders that he should not be ds-

CONSERVATION Of Party
The bewildered servant ran through

sternation by shouting: THE President
has Disappeared" The dismayed mem
bers of the party held consultation
until Montbrson was reached.
A crowd had assembled at Montbrison
to greet the President, and notable
body of officials, with a guard Of honor
and band, had gathered about the

y Hson Message attracts
Great Interest in London,

LONDON, May % By The Associated
Press) President Wilson'S request
that Congress sanction acceptance by
me united States of the mandate for
ARMENIA is attractng great interest
hence III the morning newspapers, but
the news was received too late for edi-
torial comment.
Some of the newspapers. however.
print short explanatory notes. which
reflect doubt as to whether Congress
Will comply with the Presidents sug-
gestion. "The Times" remarks that
recent dispatches from Washington
have shown that the people Of the
United States just now have strong
dlstaste tor any foreign commitments,
The DAILY News" points out that
since acceptance OF the mandate would
virtually imply Endorsement of the
covenant OF the league of nations and
membership in the league it is hardly
conceivable that Congress will fall in
line with the Presidents wishes.
The Presidents action" "The Daily
News' adds, "doubtloss has tactical
bearing on the impending election
campaign, III which the peace treaty
and the issues arising from it viii
figure largely. There also are some
grounds for reading in it desire on
the part of the President to manifest
his own concern to the fate of Ar
menia"

Presidents step certainly will cause
considerable surprise in peace confer
ence circles and that the decision Of

Greek Legation Silent

PARIS, May 24 (By The Associated
Press 1.-The Greek Legation in Paris
has refused to confirm or deny the
report of the marriage Of King Alex
ander to Mile. Manos. King Alexan-
der's marriage is said to have been the
elimination of boyhood friendship.
The King and his wife are at the
same hotel here, and yesterday went
TO Versailles, where they lunched and
visited the gardens.
Reports here impute the Kings visit
TO Paris to a desire on .ne part Of Pre-
mier Venizelos Of Greece for a sepa-
ration of the King from his reputed
morganatic wife, so that he may marry
a princess Of royal blood. The King
is said to have left Athens quite in &C
cord with his Premier's point of view
but is declared to have undergone
change Of mind since his arrival here
The marriage ceremony, it is assert
ed, was not recorded with the Metro
politan Of Athens, the supreme ecclesi-
astic authority in Greece. This is the
explanation of the fact that no record
of the ceremony is available.

SHE WAS A. w. 0. L.

Last Thursday evening some twen-
ty-fve or thirty River Falls business
men assembled at the City Hall to
get in touch with ''the spirit of XII
wants" through the medium of Inter
national Organizer J. H. Marshall.
But somewhere along the route the
wires became short circuited, or some
thing, for, as the meeting progressed
from a very favorable beginning, it
soon became very evident that 'the
Spirit of Kiwanis" was A. w. o. L.
Perhaps the spirits of past organi-
cations of similar character haunted
the room to the exclusion of the new
aspirant, or possibly "that indescrib-
able atmosphere of Kiwanis," to
which the organizer so eloquently
and frequently allrded, could moi
mingle tremendously with that of the
city polling place.
At any rate, Organizer Marshall
although given a good turn an6
an attentive hearing, POSSIBLY toe
attentive), was unable to convince oul
business men with a pressing need OF
this particular form of organization
and River Falls is, for the time being
at least, forced to struggle along un.
Kiwanised.
