In the Champagne Cellars Of Rheims
And this brings me to tho cham
payne cellars Of Rheims, which pro-
tected so many people during the
war, and which for generations have
supplied most Of the champagne
drunk by men. That city Is now
emblematic only OF sorrow. It's
mighty cathedral Is in ruins, and its
people are trying to rebuild the
houses and factories battered down
by tho Germans. Before 1914 II
was tho ganglionlc nerve center OF
JOY. Every great dinner from Paris
To Pekin. and from cape Town to
Nome, paid tribute 20 Rheims. 1t
was the synonym Of luxurious pleas
ure, and 1t spaTkled the eyes Of the
rich. During the war the buildings
OF the great wine factories were de-
stroyed, but the cellars were un-
touched. as the Germans occupied
the city only a week in 1914 and
their shells did no damage 70 these

The Cunard liner Aquitania left port
yesterday for Cherbourg and South
ampton with an unusually large pas
senger complement for this season.
Near 1000 persons were on the pier
to say goodbye to departing friends
and relatives.
Among the saloon passengers was
Lord Morris, one of Scotland's big in
surance heads, who has been visiting
the American headquarters Of his cor
poration in Philadelphia. He expressed
much interest in Americas prosperity
and described us as exceedingly deft at
cutting corners toward business pros
perity.
He said that the United States was
good to the working man, but that
legislation for the protection of the
rights OF labor was a necessity.
Bishop Is Hungarian Liberal
Another traveller on the vessel was
the Right Rev. Desidir Baltasar, 8
Protestant Bishop of Hungary, who is
returning to his home near Budapest.
He is the leader of the liberal move

notice as champion of certain classes
OF prosecuted Jews in Hungary.
