PRESIDENT AND JUDGE WICK ERSHAM DISCUSS THE
 GOIERNORSHIP

Judge Wickersham had audience yesterday with President Harding. The conversation turned entirely up- on the subject of the Governorship oi Alaska. This much was admitted by the gentleman who soon expects rp occupy the Executive chair of this Territory. He would not. how ever. state that the President gave any indication of his intention with reference 10 the appointment. By the same token We might say that neither would Secretary Fall admit that he had recommended Wicker sham to the President for the Gov eruorsbjp. He referred his ques- lions to the White House. Yet it IS generally believed in Washington political circles that the Secretary made the recommendation And it Is still further significant that the busy President should summon Judge Wickersham for a discussion upon the subject that he is expected To dispose of within a very short time.
 IL is scarcely reasonable to sup pose that the President is sending for unsuccessful candidates to ex- press regret al his inability to fav- or their candidacy. We haven't heard of Mr. Hazelet or even the Re publican National Committeeman from Alaska having audience with the President. This important ep- iSode lends additional strength to the general belief existing among those who are on the inside of Alaskan affairs at the National Capital that Judge Wickersham was practically decided upon some days ago. At least he was satisfactory to Secretary Fali and il is now likely that if there was the least shadow of doubt in the mind of the President, that the logical and persuasive powers of the Judge has a tendency to dis pei all uncertainty on the subject.
 For more than ten days past all adyices coming from Washington, some from special newspaper bureaus and others from private in dividuaIs, indicated the selection of Judge Wickersham. Those who are supposedly close to the Judge are absolutely satisfied that Secretary Fall and Delegate Sutherland both expressed themselves to the Presi- dent as favorable to the selection of the former Delegate, who had been elected to Congress for six success Sive terms from Alaska. And his interview with the President yester- day very naturally adds to the cer- tainty of the early appointment of James WiCkerSham to the Governor ship. The announcement. officially should come at any hour, unless it is the intention of the President to await the opening of Congress to. send his appointment to the Senate for confirmation. If the appoint ment is made before next Monday the new Governor can take office

permit of that horrible war. By
 automobile we went to Senlis, pass
 ing through a country now barren
 but which in 1914 was dotted with
 farms, passed through Chantilly
 forest, the headquarters of Joffre in IgI4-15 and Foch in 1915. The Towers of Californian are now mere splinters sticking out of the ground. The road to SoissOns in one Continu- uus cemetery. In Soissons The No tre Dame Cathedral, which was a
 model of Roman and Gothic arChi- lecture is a sight to make one weep.
 We visited the Valley of the Vesne
 where the stubborn resistance, the courage and herOism of our own
 SammieS was first shown in August 1918. We visited Rheims which now
 has the same appearance I should
 imagine Skagway would have should some celestial power pick A. B. mountain up and drop it on us. We
 saw the Valley of the Marne which is nothing less than one vast grave yard with white crosses as thick as poppies.
 We spent a day in the Museum, the Palace, the Park and the Trian- ons of Versailles, To me, this day was the most significant of our trip. I often thought of Mayor Shaw while passing through these ancient halls, red0leut of the days of Napoleon and Josephine. We saw. the Little COrporal's folding table which histo- " tells us he carried with him at all times. We saw the bedChambers of NapOlean, Josephine, Louis " and Marie AntOinette. We ascended the gold staircase up which the lat ter ran and escaped from the mob, and our guide opened the secret door to her bedchamber. And we walk ed through the Hall of Mirrors where the Peace Treaty with Ger many was signed. And we saw the table at which the delegates sat, and the chairs; although they are now removed to q smaller room off the Hall of Mirrors. And We saw the golden chariot; the coronation car; which was used but twice. So much did we see at Versailles and so be- wildering, I cannot recall any partic- ular place or object that impressed us most, unless perhaps it was the Latona Basis and gorunds surround ing it.
 Tell your wife. or your sister, or your sweetheart, that shopping in Paris is easy, providing you go about il in the right manner. English is spoken in all the shops and one does not need an American flag to pro claim thelr identity. They can spot an American as far as We can an tourist. But never stroll into shop for the purpose of look ing around until something to suit is found; if you do you will either go broke or become bewildered and walk out empty handed. l found that the best way is to look at the gowns on the window models and, when something is seen that appeals to you, go in, and, if it fits you, buy it and hurry out. Bear in mind the fact that all Paris shop keepers think us Americans are all advance agents of the Federal Reserve Bank and they are unaware that the banks close at three D. III. They will clam pr for our money as eagerly at six as ten a. m.

And while the French people think that the horror through which they have just passed is through with for all time, there is still a sad remem- brance and a lurking fear by night that any morning may bring it on afresh.

Dear Sir:
Every Citizen of Alexandria who
has any sem2lance of civic pride IS
indebted to the Gazette for its edl-
torial of Yesterday on The Tapping OF
Sewers. The Anticipated system Of haV
ing the filth run along the cutters
has been advertised and ridicuied by
visitors from all over the country and
we had hoped that with the advent
Of a full time health officer this men
ace would be abolished.
However the health department has
never 3een approved of by some of
the moth eaten invisible City
Fathers and che result is that a
great number of propety owners not
only defy the orders of the depart
uent but openly boast about it.
Let's have some more Of these
editorial that concern Alexandria and
help the officials who are really try
ing to do work get the slackers that
the laws do not seem to reach at
present.
