The People and Inauguration.

Of large numbers Of visitors at the
time of the Inauguration is regarded
| by the District Commissioners as
necessary, Notwithstanding the change
in program which has resulted from
Mr.. Harding's request for a simple
ceremony March 4. They have asked
for special appropriation for this
purpose and it should be granted with
the general plan Of an Inauguration
along the customary lines. Indeed, it
is to be hoped that there will be a
! large attendance here March from
Washington, especially on such an &C.
casion. is stimulus to patriotism.
One Of the chief reasons for regretting
the change in the program was the
would seize the occasion Of Inaugural
ton to make what might be their only
journey to the capital.
AS the ceremony is now arranged

will go by motor to the Capitol, prob
ably escorted by guard of honor.
The Vice President will take the oath
of Office in the Senate chamber and
then the members of Congress and
others, who by their position are en-
titled to a special invitation, will pro-
coed to the east portico Of the build
ing and there, perhaps on small
stand, Mr.. Harding will take the oath
Of Office and will deliver his inaugural
address. Then he will return to the
White House by the traditional route,
probably with the same escort as on
the eastward trip. There will be no
long inaugural parade. The proceed
ings will be in themselves just as in
teresting as though there were more
pomp and a larger number of escort
ing troops and civilian organizations.
The chief point Of interest on an In
auguration day is the person Of the
new President. To see and greet him
a multitude will be on the streets
March 4, even if the ceremonies are
brief, and even If the parade attend
ing him is short. Probably every avail
able foot of space in front Of the east
portico and along Pennsylvania ave.
nue. to the White House will be filed.
In one sense the proceedings will gain
in impressiveness through the con-
centration upon the particular object
of interest.
The misfortune of the situation
chiefly is that no special provision can
be made for the comfort and conven-
fence Of those who come from out of
town for the occasion. There will be
no stands from which to view the
presidential progress and all who come
must take their chances In the streets
and on the plaza with the Washing
tonians themselves, who WIN, Of course,
be present in great numbers, inasmuch
as. though they have no part In the
election Of a President, it Is still their
privilege to greet him when he takes
the cath of office.

Re-Frenchifying Alsace.

The problem Of reasSimilating the
'1ost provinces" into France is a dif-
ficult one, and some Of the principle
obstacles are mentioned in an article
in the Paris Figaro by an Alsatian:
Every ono knows that the greatest
obstacle to overcome is the question
of language. We were all beginning
to talk a little French when the great
separation took place. The Germans
did everything possible to do away
with the French language in peace
time and succeeded in reducing 1t con-
siderably: during the war it became
almost exterminated. But we wish to
learn it. and we will learn it. We
shall not give up the priviiege-Very
useful to France-of learning German
we shall have two languages, because
that is our interest and our wish. II
there are difficulties in the way OF our
learning the national language, we
will overcome them, because we wisn
to Listen to our children speaking
IF the administration he::tates o. &c
cedes, Influenced by the noise tnat
our German press is making. we sh.f
know how to set them to rights. AS
to the apostles OF the German IAN
tongue. Alsace does not listen to them:
it is not in Strasburg that they are
applauded. but in Berlin.
1T would be much better to leave
us in peace. There are too many Goc-
tors at the bedside of Alsace. They
will end BY making her i'll. The post
war world has enough neurasthenics
already Alsace has no wish to add
to the number. Here our health Is TO
bust and our hearts sound. Uneasi-
ness and discomfort prevail? Just
come some Sunday when the village
is en- fete, when the band is playing
Sambre-et-Me and the inhabit-
ants are looking their best, we'll

are decorated with garlands and
French flags. Or come to one Of our

Mr.. January, won't you put on your

April is a watchin' with springtime

Never mind the skidding if it helps
you slide.
You wished US Happy New Year, but

trade was thrust upon the United

 Interesting Life
 We're finding life so interesting over here that I never tire of 1t in spite of the difficulties attached to oriental methods of existence. Cos pol is a dirty. crowded city of steep and rocky streets. with the worst fea- lures of the east and west combined to make it the vile place it is-notsy, smelly, wicked uncomfortable. It boasts of nearly 2,00o,00o people of every race under the sun, from South Africans to Americans, dwelling to- gether in perpetual quarreling. The allied occupation has brought Tn many troops, including French and British colonials, so you can picture what I bump up against when l go shopping-a jet black Algerian with gold earrings and gashes across his cheeks to identify his tribe; tall' thin. velvet eyed Hindu in 'volumi- . nous khaki turban; or one of those cocky little brown men from l know not where. whose walk reminds me of a bantam rooster, and whose long knife, so they say, is never drawn without it's drop of blood. There are Russians by the thousands, too all of Wrargers defeated army and the en- Al .I14 1f rriv C q " here, fleeing the bolshevist, and they make & sombre spot on an otherwise gay and carefree place. They are penniless, most of them having come only with the clothes on their backs, and they're getting food any way they can, selling shoe laces and flow CTS or begging-princes and prin- cesses and humble alike. A few of the once well-to-do ones brought along wonderful jewels that they are 6iisposing of for whatever they can get, and some lovely things, silver bibelots and paintings, that make the shops more fascinating than any thing that New York or Paris can offer.
