feeling is that the failure of the
allies to adopt strong attitude
toward those two countries has

given them courage to spring the
news OF the alliance at the height

Military Entente Foreseen.
In many quarters il is regarded
as a clever Russo German trick by

The younger generation of Wash
ingtonians turned out by thou
sands yesterday to enjoy the an
nual egg rolling festival. They
mingled in the White House
grounds. on the broad slopes of
Geological Park. on Capitol Hill
and in many other places in the
city where the grass was green and
the egg rolling good.
Several times during the day the
weather man started to send down
showers. then becoming ashamed
of himself changed his mind.
Free to Go Anywhere.
As in other years the White
House grounds attracted the great
est gathering, but Zoo Park was
not far behind. At the Capitol
grounds No Trespassing" signs
were removed and during the day
the hill swarmed with children.
But no matter where it was the
scenes were the same. There were
little tragedies. such as the lost
kid: the little girl whose gas bal
loon slipped from her grasp and
went soaring into the clouds. and
the tot who lost her Easter basket.
The sobs of the hapless. however.
were drowned by the joyous shouts
of those more fortunate. All were
well armed with eggs when they
set forth in the morning. And it
was noticeable that the baskets
bore more eggs than they did last
year, a fact explained by the drop
in egg prices
There can be no discussion as to
where the best time was had dur
ing the day: there was fun wherever
the children gathered. i

Fifteen thousand or more

o'clock and continuing until late
afternoon. Only grown-ups acting
as guardians were admitted to the
grounds part of the day. but at $3.50
the grounds were opened to all.
President and Mrs. Harding ap-
peared on the south porch of the
White House about l o'clock and
waved greeting to their little
guests. and Laddie Boy, filled with
the friendly Easter spirit, did
everything a dog could be expected
to do to show how happy he was
to have visitors in his big play
ground.
He raced down the porch steps,
romped along the fringe of the
crowds. then back again to stand
beside the President and barked his
greeting to the happy throngs be-
low.
As in other years the wanderlust
was strong in the blood of the lit
tie White House visitors yesterday.
Fifty or more, who started out to
explore the beautiful grounds. ended
up in the arms of policemen and
crying for their mothers.
