Ledoux Greeted
at White House
Leader of JObless, With 35
Followers, Presents Peace
Prophecy.

If Urbain J. Ledoux, otherwise
known as Mr.. Zero" expected to be
stopped by the police and "glorl-
uusly frustrated" he was disap-
pointed. for the President greeted
him heartily and presented Mrs.
Harding, who responded with equal
grace. The same held good for the
thirty-fives jobless former service
men who formed LedouX's shabby
retinue in his visit to the White
House yesterday.
In spite OF the all-SeeinC eyes of
the Secret Service men who
"friskedt him, in common with the
rest of the long line of callers,
Ledoux took his piece de resistance
with him and struggled it into the
Presidents palm. Its essence was
hail and farewell" with this
prophecy at the end:
The tears of them that have ned
from the drawn swords shall be
wiped away, and ii shall come to
pass that the wilderness and soli-
tary places shall be glad for tlrem
The desert shall rejoice and blossom
like the rose. and there shall reside
my peace. amidst the lions and the
lambs and the child that lesdeth
them"
