ICE CREAM SODA IN PARIS
At First .Skeptical French Have
!. Turned to American Delicacy
With Relish

Paris. July 13.-The ice cream soda
has invaded Paris. With the arrival OF
the first of the American tourists
have sprung up numerous shops which
boast THAI within may be obtained
real American ice cream sodas. .
Prices for this American drink range
frcm 8 to 6 francs. according to the
character Of the shop.
Paris has always had places where
poor limitations of the great Amer
:can drink could be obtained, but
net until this spring when the tour
ISIS trade revived did the real thing
make its appearance. An amusing
feature Of the French premier of the
soda has been the popularity it has
attained with the Parisians.
AT first quite skeptical, the French
later tried the drink and liked it.
One large cafe on one Of the famous
boulevards serves more French pco-
pie than Americans with ice cream
sodas. This cafe has even attempted
the sale Of sundaes, but they haven t
achieved the success of the sodas.

WILSON WATTS
ADVICE Of cox
Governor Will Confer at White
House to Indicate Direction
Of Presidents Support.
BY DAVID NJ. CHURCH,
International News Service.

President Wilson and Governor
Cox will probably hold a conference
here before the President makes any
definite plans as to his part in the
campaign, according to Democratic
leaders today.
RELIES ON HIS ADVICE.
The White House has made IL very
plain that the President regards the
campaign as Governor Cox's campaign,
and while he is willing to help. he
desires that Governor Cox outline tn c
campaign plan for him and the part
selected for the Chief Executive.
As the result OF conferences which
have been held here during this week
between Secretary Tu.nulty. Joseph
Guffey. national committeeman from
Pennsylvania; Attorney General Pal
mer. e. II. Moore, representative OF
Governor Cox and other Democratic
leaders, it is understood that Cover
nor Cox will be urged to come to
Washington following his Western
tour for a conference with the Presi-
dent.
A general conference of all Demo-
cratic leaders with President Wilson
Is desired and believed necessary, ac-
cording to some of those who have
been in conference here this week.
The leaders who have been in confer
ence here this week have agreed that
closer organization 10 desirable to
carry on the work of the campaign
and they feel that more effective
organization might be worked out III
, a general conference were held here.
The White House has refused TO
make any statement on the possible
part the President may take in the
campaign. until after Governor Cox
has moved and has indicated his de-
sires.
A series of messages from the Presi-
dent on the League of Nations Is ex-
pected as the most likely proposal
that will be made by Governor Cox
! tc the President. Leaders feel that II
| the President and Governor Cox can
confer they can map out a plan of
campaign upon the League OF Nations
issue which would bring that subject
| before the public in the most forcible
manner during the late weeks OF
October.
The question OF the President max
| ing a campaign speech is still one OF
speculation. While White House OF
fcials state that the Presidents con-
dition is such that he might make
| speeches. there has been no indication
| from his physician as to whether such
action would be advisable or not.
