II you see a gay fellow at the head of
a crowd,
A leader Of men, marching fearless
and proud.
And you know of a story if uttered

Would cause his proud head in sorrow

It's a pretty good plan to forget it.
The mans life is judged by its cri-
SEES. 1t is the crisis that makes his
success or cause his failure. All of
his long years are really spent getting
ready for his crisis.

A mans success is reckoned by
what he does in a very brief section
of his time; his work stands or falls
by a fortunate or a disastrous hour.

decision of a general.

ST. CROIX STATION.

Washington, Nov, 8 France and
the Urited States came definitely to the
parting of the ways today or the propo-
sal to enlist United States cooperation to-
ward a solution of the PREPARATIONS problem.
NJ. Poincare was adviSedby MI. Hughes,
through Ambassador JuSSerand, that
the restrictions insisted upon by France
would serve to 'frus'rate" the object of
the Government in offering United States
cooperation in an expert PREPARATIONS
plan. The State Department refused to
60 beyond this point in disclosing the
purport and result of recent on7ersa-
tionS with the Ambassador in which de-
tailed explanations of the French atti.
tude were made. Formal invite ton to
participate in an expert inquiry is before
the Government and a dccIination is
therefore not in order. 10 the circun-
stances. no invitation from the Allied
powers now is expected. There IS no
doubt that such an invitation, il present
ed under the French restrictions, would
be declined. The President feels that
the French limitations render the inquiry
plan useless and futile. He believes the

WEDDING BELLS.

The Memorial Church was the scene of
attraction last night when a pretty and
unique wedding took place, the happy
pair being Miss Leonie Ernestire Sewer
and MIR. Cyril William CreQue both of
this city. Precisely at $50 lie bride en-
tered beautifully attiFed in a dress of
white silk crepe de chine adorned with
O~vershadowed lace leaning on the ann of
Mr.. Halv0r Delamos, Honorary Vice
Consul of the>D dominican Republlc for St.
Croix. who came over especially for that
plrpose. The bride was led by Master
Aubrey Anduze, ring bearer, and the lit
lie Misses Doris Miller, UbeIdlaa Edlu-
UNI, Adella Rasch, Euridila Hall and
Louise joshua who very nicely looked
dressed in white crepe de chine carrying
baskets of flowers. Miss Blanche Collins
who acted as Maid of Honour, was much
admired in her dress of rose pink satin
with lace. Mrs. Carl A.. Anduze con-
Quoted the very little brides maids.
Our we'll known merchant Mr.. Jos. E.
Sprauve acted as best man. Two cush-
toned chairs were prepared for the BRIDE
and groom, and after both were seated,
the choir sung beautiful anthems. Mr..
PaiIIip Gomez's solo being very much
enioyed. The bride being one OF the
choir members and much beloved, the
choir rendered their parts wonderfully.
Mr.. Amos Huyghue's solo is worthy of
special mention. After the singing OF

the ceremony the guests repaired to the

and confirmed the bride. it gave him
infinite amount of pleasure to be an
able to perform the Ceremony OF Mar

dance and dancing was INDUCED lin an

and much loved by many, having been

Cyril Creque, who has worked himself

counts, that the United States could
serve no useful purpose by participating
in an investigation that could not pro
duce broad and comprehensive plans for
the economic rehabilitation Of Germany
and adequate payments by Germany on
PREPARATIONS accounts. Conversations took
place at the State Department today,
when Ambassador JusSerand called with
advices from his Government. which
reached him while Mr.. Coolidge and his
cabinet were discussing the situation 90
the basis of previous explanations from
Paris. Today's message showed no mo-
IiGcation Of the French attitude and add
cd nothing new to the situation. Mr..
Hughes, before receiving the AmbasSa-
dor, made a second visit to the White
House for a brief conference with the
Presi lent, in preparation for presenting
the decision of the United States. Nj
JuSserand'S visit served to bring out a
detailed statement of the limitations on
the expert Inquiry desired by the French
Government. With respect to the sti-
p~UlatiOn made in Paris. that the experts
should not diSu>SS the occupation of the
Ruhr, the Ambassador explained that
this would mean, in the French view.
that the experts could examine all ques-
tons as 10 the resources of the Ruhr,
the value Of Industrial establishments
and the productive 20 yer Of the region.
France could not, however, discuss the
legality Of the French occupation, the
system of collection of taxes in the Ruhr
region imposed by the French occupation
forces, the guarantee seized by French
troops. or the agreement recently reach
ed between the French authorities and
the German industrialiSts of the Ruhr.
On the question Of the exact meaning of
the French stipulation, present capa-
city" to which the experts would have
been limited in studying German re-
sources which might yield the means of
payment of reparations, The Ambassador
explained that this coutd be interpreted
as meaning the survey Of the situation
up to and including the year 1880. Both
the 1890 dead line and the restrictions
that would have been imposed by The
Ruhr stipulation, were given general
consideration by Mr.. Hu9hes in formu-
lating his answer. The 1890 proposal in
itself however, was regarded by the
United States Gov rnment as forecIosing
the possibility of approaching a compre-
henstve study of the situation and the
formulation of far reaching financial
plans to avoid economic disaster in Eu-
