PERSH|NC WITS FRIENDS IN FRANCE
Gets Into Paris Without Off, fiCiaI Attention And He
 Sets Precedent

PARIS. Nov. 3.-(By Associated Press. )-General Pershing established a record on his arrival in Paris last Saturday. He is the only man of such conspicuous station who succeeded in getting into the French capital without any sort of official attention and without being waylaid by gen. erals and representatives of the press.
 The announcement that he wanted to be left alone during his visit to France was interpreted as meaning he wished no official attention. The zealous reporters did not think this was meant for them. They know now that it was A score of them waited at the hotel entrance for the arrival of Pershing's autom obile from Cherbourg, while the general knowing his ground, slipped in through a convenient side door of the hotel and had his bath while the news chasers were vainly waiting.
 Even statesmen have never been able to maintain such a strict privacy on their visits to Paris. nor have members of royalty, who come like the town as others see it. King Alfonso of Spain who probably is the most frequent royal guest. Is quite as well known under his incognito title, the Duke of Toledo, as that of king, and he never yet has been able to keep any of his visits private.

SWEDEN BIG BUYER OF RUSSIAN WOOD
Shipments Of Timber For Match
 Industry Are Active

STOCKHOLM, Nov. 10.--(By Asso- ciated Press )-The resumption on a large scale of the shipment of aspen wood from Russia to Sweden, Just reported on by Svensk Finanstidning Swedish Financial Journal), has aroused great interest here. Accord ing to this authority, 8,000,000 board feet of aspen wood have been i'm ported from Russia during the first nine months of this year, as against less than half of that quantity dur ing last year.
 All of these shipments of aspen wood have been bought by the Swed- ish Match company, which consumes about 120 100000 board feet per year In It's domestic and foreign factories, and 1t Is an ironical fact that much of this wood comes from the forest properties formerly owned in Russia by the Swedish Match company and confiscated by the bolshevists.
 Although no trade pact has as yet been successfully negotiated between Sweden and Soviet Russia, each coun- try sends commercial commissioners to the other. and general foreign trade in both directions is picking up.

SOLUTION OF QUAKEI PREDICTION IS SOUGHT
Weather Officials Hope To Benifit
 From Recent Records

WASHINGTON, Nov. 10-By Asso- ciated Press)-Earthquak records cannot be used directly in predicting earthquakes. the weather bureau an- nounces, but study of a collection of these records throws a great deal of light on the nature of earthquakes generally, and 1t is hoped that at SC me future time this information may lead to successful methods of prediction.
 The Hawaiian volcanic observatory of the weather bureau utiliSes these records and has been instrumental in the saving of life and property When violent earthquake that ap- pears to have occurred in the Pa cific ocean Is recorded the observa- tory officials send out warnings by cable and otherwise to the regions likely to be affected. Such earth quakes frequently are attended by so-ealled tidal waves and there usually Is an interval of many hours between the occurrence of the quake and the arrival of the destructive oceanic wave at any given point.

HAMNTER SONG
CHECK SLAVE TRADE
British warships Active In Red Sea
 Trade.


 Trade.
 LONDON, Nov. 10-(By tho Asso- ciated Press.)-Although the slave trade is commonly supposed to have been suppressed all over the world two British warships. the Celmatis and the Conflower, have been en- gagged in suppressing this traffic in the Red Sea for the last two years. Not only have they succeeded in stopping most of the Red Sea slave trade but they have also stopped gum running which was occasionally at- tempted.
 High prices are paid for slaves in this part of the world, who are gen. erally captured from the coastal tribes and sold to the Arabs. who take their victims inland.
 A communication from member of the crew of the Clematis tells an interesting story:
 we had spent period of two years in the Red Sea-" he says, wit messing very varied scenes of tropical life, and experiencing the almost i'm tolerab1e heat of two summers. The duties of the two Red Sea sloops are primarily to frustrate the diabolical bartering of humans which unfor- tunately still continues to a much larger extent than one is led to be- Ifeve
 "On one occasion a dhow was de- tained which had been thus trading, but it is to be regretted that the oc- cupants successfully evaded capture, and carried away with them the gold they had received for their slaves.
 "It was, however. an exciting in- cident. for when we first tried to board they opened fire on our whal- CTS. This necessitated the latter re- turning to the ship. and we event. uaIiy fired about eight rounds at tho escaping crew.
 "On one occasion . dhow was cap tured full of slaves. boys and girls between the ages of seven and IT.
 Tt was heartrending to stand by and sec the hungry mitss raven ously attack the bread we gave them. The dhow's crew endeavorsd to es- cape by Jumping overheard and swimming ashore. but were success fully captured. and hopes are enter tained that they got their full deserts"

346 BEFORE GUN SQUAD
British Army Court Metes Out Pun
 ishment To Many

LONDON, Nov. 10.--(By Associated Press .)-Out of the many millions of men which comprised the British army during the late war only BAG officers and men so failed in their duty as to justify their execution by the firing squad.
 Three British officers were shot two for desertion and one for mur- der. One man was sentenced to death three times, each for assertion. Twice he was reprieved, but he could not stand the welter of blood and mud of the trenches, so he deserted again and the third time he was shot.
 Forty other men, after being sen tenced to death, were reprieved only to offend again and be shot. In 266 cases the offense against the military code was desertion, though 37 men were executed for murder. Eighteen were shot for cowardice, three for mutiny and two for sleeping on duty, In all. 3,0S0 death sentences were passed.

MEMORIES RECALLED

PARIS( Nov 10-(By Associated Press .)-The famous wine of Argen- teuil has disappeared from the mem- ory of living man, but there remains in France so keen an appreciation Of what it once was that the people of this French town, a few miles out side of Paris, recently celebrated the first making of this beverage a thousand years ago. Lacking even a single bottle of wine they acclaimed, champagne was substituted by the merrymakers who met to toast dead industry
 History abounds in references to the excellence of this product of the Argentsuil vineyards, and retR.rds also that many years ago the last bottle came from the press and was

At death, hawker's badge is reclaim ed by the police and not reissued to anyone else.
 The reason for the withdrawal of the badges is stated to be the advent of the wide-beamed motor busses and taXicabs which are cnsidered to have made the hawker's trade a danger to himself and others.

The railroads at that time began bringing wine to Paris from the south, and the fields of Argen- teuil were turned over to the pro- duction of fresh vegetables for the tables of the capital.

FRENCH HERO REMEMBERED

The French celebration of the tooth anniversary of the death of Lazare Carnot the great revolutionary fig ure, recently would have passed with little notice but for interested stu dents of American history who re- membered Carnot was great friend of James Monroe when the Ameri- can president was in France seeking aid for the young American republic. It was at that time that the Star Spangled Banner and the French tri- color first were flown side by side.
 M. Carnot was remarkable, not only for his great leadership but as the founder of a great family. Of his two< children, one was an inventor, the other a cabinet member; his two grandchildren were assassinated while president of France, and Adolphe, a famous engineer. His eight great grandchildren, seven of whom are living, are unusual in that all the males are prominent in their vacations and the seven married ones have total of 2S children, or more than twice the average French family.

bursts of highly developed genius had a theoretical windfall by a recent decision of the mixed Franco German arbitration tribunal. It declared that
 the value of pictures had trebled
 since the pre-war tribunal ordered the French art works, on consign- inent to Germany when war was de- clared, returned or paid for at three times the 1914 prices within two months. otherwise the German gov erhment would be held responsible for such payments.
 It was this latter decision, requir- ing the German government to pay. that killed some of the artists joy i in view of the present reparation
 situation.
 Many of these modernists' express
 sions have dwindled greatly in value
 since the war, as new crop of
 artists have ground out products to meet whatever demand there Is. The trebled prices, therefore, although 50
 per cent less than the increased cost of living, are quite acceptable, as
 many of these pictures are now worth only a fractional of their pre-war value in the open market.
