London, June Let is nearly
midnight and in the warm moonlit
air of Paris at it's most beautiful
you are walking along on your way
to your hotel. Suddenly ahead of
you, way up in the air, you see
what seems to be three stars-a
green one. a reddish one and a
whiteish: one.
They are too. high up and too
much to the right TO- be lights on
the Eiffel tower and besides-they
are moving. You are sure of it. It
can't be an optical delusion. And
then, after time Of eye-strain, the
midnight mystery is revealed.
They are the lights of "a giant
airship silently moving over sleep
ing Paris. This French 'airship is
not silvery in CLINT and outline. In
stead, it has smoky brown look
even in the brilliant night. Its COM
mander and crew are making one of
their regular practice trips. In some
similar manner they could float,

sleeping city. 4
In this way France .perfects her

France makes ready for the next

IS MIR. BRYAN'S INFLUENCE
NEGLIGIBLE?

Intimation has been given that
in arranging the program Of spec
tacular events with which it is
planned to mark the high spots in
the forthcoming Democratic Ma
tional Convention in New York, no
leading role has been assigned 20
William Jennings Bryan.
| Indeed, it is given out that it is
expected Mr. Bryan's influence in
the 1924 convention will be cal
most negligible"
How strange that sounds in view
OF the important part he played in
almost every national gathering Of
his party since 1896.
Previous to the Chicago conven-
ton. that year. the then somewhat
youthful Nebraskan had not been
regarded as one capable of welding
more than negligible influence.
Richard p. Bland, the veteran lead
er Of the so-called free silver for
ces, was regarded as the probable,
as well as the logical choice of the
convention.
But all prearranged plans were
aroused by the persuasive elo-
quence of 1.-THE boy orator from the
Platte" His Grown of thorns
and cross of gold" speech, destined
to become cha ssic of forensic ora
tory, won his own nomination for
the Presidency. Thrice he has
been the standard bearer of the
Democracy, though as many times
defeated at the polls.
But it should not be forgotten
that the only Democratic President
elected since Grover Cleveland was
nominated through the influence,
if not actually at the dictation Of
William Jennings Bryan.
!. Champ Clark of Missouri, backed
10y the same powerful Democratic
influences in the east that now de-
mand the nomination of Governor
Smith of New York, would newt
ably have been chosen at the Balti-
more convention in 1912 but for the
opposition of Mr.. Bryan.
Has the Commoner sheathed the
sword once drawn in dfiance OF
Tammany? Evidently the leaders
Of the Smith campaign are endeav-
oring to persuade themselves that
he has. or, if he has not, that the
sharp edge of his weapon has been
dulled and rendered innOXious.
Mr.. Bryan, it is announced, will
be one of the eight delegates to the
convention comprising the Florida
quota. He is no longer a Nebras-
kan, as is we'll known. but a resi-
dent of and voter in Florida.
1t has been arranged, perhaps
tentatively and without reckoning
with the possible influence of Mr..
Bryan, that the Florida delegation,
on the first roll call when the time
comes for nominating speeches,
shall yield to the New York dele
cation, thus giving the Smith sup
porters an opportunity to present
their candidate and stage their ar
ranged stampede early in the
game.
The question is aus to the tracta
bility of the Commoner. Will he.
forgetting his grievances against
Tammany Hall, sit passively and
quietly while it's candidate is be
ing extolled?
1t is not to be believed that Mr..
Bryan has either forgotten or for
given. His silence at that time
would indicate that he has agreed
that his influence in the political
councils of his party has waned.
Will he agree that it has become
negligible? Looking backward at
the peerless leader of. a few years
ago, one is inclined to hazard the
guess that he will not remain ST.
