FOch at Kansas City.
lCincinnati Enquirer.l


 When some great poet does for FOch what Tenny- son did for Wellington he certainly will into his heroic rhyme reference to the great Marshals reception at Kansas City. New York and Washing ton had done their devor, and it seemed that not much else could be done in the matter of popular demonstrations of welcome. But Kansas City had not had her opportunity. Noby did she respond to her high duty The great captain will fail to remember that it was in that city that the full lsonorous voice of America spoke to him its welcome And the small man in gray" felt the lift and inspira ton of it. Above the strains of the Marseaise he heard the roar of comrade voices in crescendo of heartsome greeting to him as their commander in the worlds Armageddon and through him they sent ae greeting of America to France sister republic and 'eonstant and loyal friend to America
 t was wonderful, this reception wonderful and tSpioei of America. In the slight figure of the Marshal suggestive of that grief which comes to idi men who have sent forth to death in every great cause plain citizens, gold mothers and the men who had seen service, realized something of the power and mystery of those influences back of the wars and conflicts of mankind
 Many man present at this notable occasion will 'eberish its memories and tell to his grandchildren the story of Fochs reception in Kansas City as the guest of the nation which its legions to serve under his command when every foundation of civ ilization seemed to be crumbling to disntegraton

COMMERCIAL AVIATION.

 "The development in the United States has been along lines different from that in Europe" the bank says in discussing the subject in the November issue of it's maga- zine Commerce Monthly, due partly to the fact that the public has not been familiarized with flying as the populations of the belligerent European countries and partly to the absence of definite government policy. Commercial transportation companies have re- ceived neither assistance nor encouragement and in consequence private enterprises of this nature have accomplished very little. On the other hand the Government, in the Army, Navy and Post Office departments, has been active in experiments of great value to commercial aviation that in the United States the one distinctive example of sue cessful aerial transportation large scale is not strictly commercial, but is merely civil as distinct from military aviation.
 At the present time the air mail, in festaton of commercial activity in the air on any considerable scale in this country. II is estimated that there about one hundred air transportation companies in the United States, but regular operation of sub- stanta commercial importance has scarcely begun."

BEN R|CE ID OPEN
 FRENCH SHOP SAT,

Of interest yesterday was the an- nouncement by Benjamin Rice that the French shop will open Saturday at the Southwest corner of Central avenue and Adams street to engage in the wholesale dispensing of men and women's wear in Arizona, Texas, New Mexico and Old Mexico. In connection with the wholesale de- partment there will be a retail store in which millinery, women's and misses suits, coats, dresses, skirts and underwear as well as mems clothing and furnishings will be sold at wholesale prices, said MT. Rice.
 The stores main business will be the wholesale and retail selling of high grade women's and misses clothes, and in the fall of the year a complete line of mems furnishings, shoes and clothing will be added. In connection with the wholesale de- pertinent a sample room for the dis play of merchandise will be main tained.
 The new policy of the French shop represents a departure in modern methods Of selling and distributing goods, according to Rice. Because of the present extreme high cost of travelling and the great distance be- tween this part of the United States and the great Eastern manufacturing Z centers, Mir. Rice said he has bean able to take over the wholesale dis tribution of many exclusive high grade lines of merchandise for a dis trict which is almost as large as the United States, including the three largest Southwestern states and All of Old Mexico.
 This wholesale distribution of mems and women's clothing will mean according to MT Rice. that French shop customers will be able to puy at wholesale prices. as he will have to maintain a staff of clerks to care for the wholesale business an1 the retail will mean only the selling to indi- vidual customers at the wholesale prices.
