Hot Fight Waged By 0ppo' Sition In Chamber of Depu- ties Against Washing
 ton Trip
By Associated Press

Paris, October 19.-The opposition in the chamber of deputies boldly seized upon the proposed Washing ton trip of Premier Briand as a basis of attack in the debate on interpel- lations which was resumed today, drawing from the premier a declara- Rtion that he thought France must be represented there and ought to be represented by the president oc the council.
 If Lloyd George goes" he said replying 10 a question, "it will be pleasure for me to meet him in Washington but if circumstances should prevent him from going do not understand why We sshould preoccupy ourselves with the fact in this debate. If he does not go it will be because of certain imposlbilities But here you have to do with me and I consider that 1t Is to the in- terest of France that go.
 Tt is possible that parliament may raise obstacles to that interpretations, 1t is for 1t to say whether l go to Washington or not"
 M. Briand appeared to be less ~re- sponsive to the attack of Deputy Maillard who declared that the pre- mier ought not go to Washington, than to other attacks. NJ. Maillard was more insistive yesterday and his utterances created greater impress sion. He made the most of the diff ficulties encountered in the execu- tion of the treaty of Versailles, hold 1ng the government responsible for all delays and for all concessions for the purpose of reaching compro- mise on hotly disputed questions Tn the course of his remarks M Mai1l- ard asked M. Briand if he thought 1t prudent to leave France when so many important internal and Euro pean questions were in suspense.
 M Briand replied; T think it indis- pensable that l go to Washington"

 campus in the south.
 1t would have been a great thing
 if the entire state could have wit
 messed the demonstration of the
 physical culture department of the
 college in the morning programme. A Itthousand girls marching to music furnished by the big cadet band of
 the Mississippi A. and M. College. made a scene that was both impos- ing and inspiring. They drilled in perfect unison. and so perfect were the formations and the execution of
 the entire demonstration that the vast audience looked on in bewil- dered admiration. and finally burst out in a tremendous ovation.
 As the programme came to close the vast student body, 1000 strong, passed before the speakers stand, where they were reviewed by the DTeSIuenL Ol tLc iHSllldtlOitt iiOti. C.

The programme today would have been a credit to the great military institutions of the country and the | success of the programme Is due to the directing genius of Miss Emma Ody Pohl, director of the physical s culture department. A Pathe staff cameraman took motion pictures of the entire demonstration.
 A band concert by the A. and M band was a later afternoon feature. Thfs afternoon distinguished visitors delivered addresses, and tonight big street dance featured the pre- gramme
 Last nights big pageant parade eciipsed anything of its kind ever staged in the south. It is said to have excelled in beauty and from an artistic standpoint the great Mhrdi \ Gras pageants of New Orleans and h.other southern cities. It was brtt- tSiart and colorful affair and was great feature of the centennial cele- bration.
 Twenty thousand people lined the streets in the business district last night as the parade passed along Main and Market and College streets. It was the greatest crowd ever as- | sembled in Columbus, and the car ! nival spirit permeated the happy \ crowds as they reveled in the fes- | tivities of the night programme. | The centennial programme comes Ito close tomorrow night with great pyrotechnical aerial display n | the grounds of the Franklin acad- emy, followed by big masaue cos tune dance in the streets.
