AMER|cA's $ PEACE ARMY IN FRANCE
 MAKES IMPRESSION
GREATEST DEMONSTRATION OF AMERlCANiSM ON FOREIGN
 SOIL

PARIS, Sept. 2S. (P-Never before did Paris see anything like the parade of the American Legion's peace army which poured between solid lines of cheering Frenchmen, in the biggest demonstration of Americanism proba- bly, ever seen on foreign soil.
 Column after column of American women poured down the Champ Elys~ ees and held their Parisian audience of more than 100000 persons spell bound for three solid hours. Brass band followed brass band and one uniform after another blazed it's way down the famous street from the Washington statue to the Cathedral of Notre Dame, six miles away.
 Girls and women in khaki uniforms and girls and women in high heeled shoes joined with their American Le- zion husbands in the long trail which wound through Paris, on the heels of the French honorary guard which set off to perfection by their sober garb, flashing brilliance of the American garb.
 Paris was impressed with the glow ing viviacity of the affair. Parisians were caught by the American spirit of jollity and good humor which was lacking little in the parade down the same street in 1917. But Paris was more impressed by the American abil- ity to be solemn, when with their leaders, General Pershing and Legion Commander Savage they paid tribute to the unknown soldier, who lies be- meath the Arc de Triumph as mem ory of the bitterness of war.
 The parade drew cheers from all observers, but the greatest tribute came from the invalid French veterf ans who sat in wheel chairs, in re served spots and wept while their American buddies had their parade.

Treasurer; Payment Closes Largest Pro-
bate Matter Ever Handled In Montana
A check for Si74,S84.68, the balance
due on the inheritance tax of the estate
OF the late Senator w. A. Clark, has
been deposited at the office of County
Treasurer j. j. Brett at Butte by j. X.
Heslet of the w. A. Clark and Brothers
bank to be transmitted to State Treas
urer w. Il. Harmon.
The check is one of the largest ever
received at the Silver Bow county treas
ury and was exceeded only by previous
payments On the same tax. The payment
closes the largest probate matter ever
handled in a Montana court.
The first payment on me tax was made
IN December. 1925. and was for 5000, 900.
On this payment. q rebate of 5 per cent
was allowed. Last May a second payment
Of S40O, 900 was made.
The final payment was apportioned as
to the heirs OF nato Clark as follows.
Charles w. Clark. $50, 26e 81; W. A. Clark.

From the estate Of the late capitalist
Montana has received more money in
Inheritance tax than from any other in
dividual estate. The five children Of
Senator Clark, named In his will as resid-
uary heirs, paid the greatest part of the
large tax.
The payment at Butte followed a de-
cree signed by Judge j. j. Lynch Octo-
Der 81. Attorneys for the state took ex-
ception to certain decisions of the state
board OF equalization and demanded that
certain deductions disallowed by the
board be flowed by the court. The
court upheld the board in practically
every issue.

tax and $77. 064.01 In penalties and in

| state was 5000. 900. Because it was made
senator, the estate was allowed a dis
count OF 5 per cent of the tax. The Sec

The DEVIL"
That afternoon Carol felt a strong re-
luctance to join the baskers who dis
played the latest fashions in pyjamas
and beach suits, as they grilled on the
scorching golden sand.
The pale green mirror of the sea was
| unbroken save for one long CLASSY en-
erald roller. AS she gazed at 1T, Carol was
rent with almost o-verpowering nostalgia
for the mountain cool of sun slitted
~pinewoods and the amber chute OF 9

She wanted wild nature-not this
fashionable farce Of playing on the fringe
OF q tame ocean. All her crowd were
staying at the Ocean hotel-whose guests
were millionaires only-and the Storms
There IA eternal Stacking. eternal dane
ing, eternal Irritation; every minute was
time for cocktails or Charleston.
Carol clenched her hands. All she
wanted was her own man. And, while
Chris sat at her elbow, he was a million
miles away, while every man In bel
crowd offered himself as substitute.
She did not change into her beach
suit after lunch, to the dismay OF the
sun bathers.
NO" She shook her head at Their
entreaties. I'm going for a walk BY

Storm tried to work the spell out of
sheer boredom, In her bedroom at the
Ocean hotel.
Her surroundings were not conducive
to superstitious rites. The electric light
fell on the usual drift Of a society woman
who is living beyond her means. On
the tailet table was a litter of trifes-
tortoise shell. crystal, and gold. Cast
garments-fragile as a butterfly's wing
lay strewn on the carpet. thick as au-

Yet In spite Of the smother Of luxury
there was a dominant vital quality In
Carol. suggesting a Force which stretched
beyond stuffy scented rooms and was
rooted in the cool depths Of dew drenched
woods.
In her eyes was q look which was older
than Eve and freer han the wind, as
she bit her apple with strong white teeth,

black ringed eyes.

Her fright turned to amusement at the
sound Of a slam. Laughing. she crossed

eyes. He seemed anxious to avoid the

AS Carol walked by the fringe OF the

smoothed from her face. She took of
her hat to receive twin kisses from Can

had borne In his mouth. to cook.
Once the huddle of striped bathing
tents was passed, the beach was deserted,
save for a small boy who was dazzling a
smaller girl with the display Of grubby
treasures in his pockets.
Something in his bullet head and reso-

On this side Of the cape, nature APP

Then she caught her breath at the

She ate her dinner alone-with q

a dream in her eyes.
Her husband had not come, when,
weary from dancing, Carol went to her

and She tossed in miserable suspense,
sick with worry over Christopher.
Their lives seemed dangling on the lip
of disaster.

White line seemed to crawl ~eternally over
a sheet of black enamel. The sky sagged
down, darkly purple as an overripe hg.
There was a t%hrobbing universal mutter
OF distant thunder.
Suddenly Carol felt an uncomfortable
urge TO cut her way through the cool of
the ocean under the low hanging sky,
the stars tangled in her hair.
She yielded to the impulse with the
same elemental passion with which she
had recognized the island. Although she
had ne clear recollection of stealing from
