 Especially anxious is Great Britain to see what the United States thinks about the British governments latest gesture.
 If the American government gives evidence of disappointment, Premier Baldwin will present in specific terms suggestions made by Secre- tary of State Hughes for an impar- tial international audit of Germany's assets.
 This idea will probably be set forth more fully in Great Britain's proposed draft of the reply to Ger. many's latest memorandum on rep. arations.

HARDING NOW

Terms Scenes Along Govern ment Railroad as Am
 erica's Wonderland

ANCHORAGE. Ju.y 1.-The Ian guage of description was exhaused by President Harding and Mrs. Hard ing and the members of the Presi- dential party yesterday afternoon as the special train from Seward car ried them over the Government-built railroad into the heart of Alaska, which the President himself has termed "America's Wonderland
 The whole train of nine cars, since leaving Seward, has passed a sue cession of beautiful mountain lakes, valleys and glacier scenes with noun tains raising their lofty snow-capped peaks above the clouds; lakes set like emeralds among these noun tains. valleys green with jungle-like vegetation and great blue glaciers creeping down the slopes.
 The travellers were given visions of Alaska not obtained during the water trip along the Southeastern and Southwestern Alaska coast.
 At the outset the party saw the great Chugach National Forest which extends along the coast for 50 miles and many miles inland.
 After passing two stations recall ing previous administrations. Wood row Wilson and Roosevelt, the train proceeded along beautiful Lake Renal several miles before arriving at the summit of the Chugach noun tains. < At this spot the party saw an example of engineering work nee essary to build the railroad to over come grades.
 The railroad passes through a tunnel and around horseshoe curve where one track crosses directly above the other.
 Dinner was had at station named Tunnel and with the sun still high in the heavens, although it was eight o'clock.
 The party travelled for miles along the Cook Inlet to Anchorage. the third largest Alaskan town where a two-hour stop was made and the President greeted the citizens and was shown about the town which served as a base for the construc- tion of the railroad and now the center for trade in coal from Chick aloon and the Matanuska coal fields which the President saw late last night before the train was parked for the night
 The whole trip is being made by daylight which is practically continu ous, however.
 Open Air Address
 The President was greeted at An chorage by several hundred people who gathere daround stand erect. ed in the center of the town.
 President and Mrs. Harding were presented with a painting of Mount Mckinley, North Americas high est mountain. which could be seen just 125 miles away from Anchor. age, and nugget handled ivory

Marriage among humber folks all over Europe has increased under the distress. but not so with the leaders of fashion.
 June, the month of weddings, has not produced the large number of society weddings which always char acterized the month in pre-war days. This is especially noticeable in cen tral Europe.
