Ancient Palm Leaf Found.

A dried palm leaf, such as was used
in India for writing during the Indian
Middle Ages. was found in the wall of a
house being RACED at Budapest, Hungary.
The leaf is completely covered with
characters vaguely resembling Sanskrit.
1t is believed it was taken to Hungary
during one of the Turkish invasions.
Mystic powers probably were attributed
to the document. which may have been
built into the walls as charm to pro-
test the house from bad luck.

at the War College, But when Perxhing
went to Bakers Office for his last word
before sailing, Baker said, Here are
your orders. general. The President
has just approved them"
The two orders were much the same
In their general scope with the i'm
portant difference that the Pershing
version made no reference TO the i'm
portance OF keeping the American Army
intact. which was to be the subject of
so many fluctuations of the commander
in chief In France" Palmer relates.
Bakers historical sense had prompted
him TO have all preeedents looked up
and he had assigned an ofiicer to
formulate instruction for Pershing as
soon as it had been decided in favor
of an expeditionary force.
In view of the present revival OF
interest in Revolutionary War history,
Mr. Palmer makes the interesting OBJ
servation In connection with Bakers
orders to Pershing: The wording OF
the part about our integral army is
strikingly similar to the orders to an
other expedition--in another day
which was dispatched not by America
to France. but by France to America"
These were the instructions carried by
Rochambeau on his departure with his
army to aid the American colonists In
the Revolution.

HOOVER PORTRAYED OPPOSING

Col Frederick Palmer's book, New

Hoover in 1917 as opposing a separate
American Army in France. Mr.
Z, use American troops as "manpower
within the ranks of the allies.
Col Palmer writes that Mr.. Hoover's
army organization views were made in
letter written February 10. 1917, to
Col. Z. M House. President Wilson S
confidential adviser. In the letter Mr.
Hoover suggests that IF the Govern
ment gave stimuli by provision of pen
sions. etc. a large body Of men could
be recruited and sent simply as NAH
power to France"
Mr.. Hoover believes this plan more
feasible. Palmer writes. than the lcng
training which would be necessary in
the organization of an American ex-
peditionary force and in view of the
fact that a large American Army in
France would have political difficulties
in association"
AT the same time" Col. Palmer con-
tinues, Hoover thought we ought to
have strong military forces in being at
the end OF the war TO strengthen our
hands at the peace negotiations, since

Col. Palmer states that Col House ap-
parently favored Mr.. Hoover's plan and
suggested Hoover's suitability for this
post"
In outlining reasons why the plan
was not accepted by the United States,
the writer terms Mr.. Hoovers idea as
one fatal to our efficiency and to the
very cause of the allies"
Gen. Pershing Is shown by Col. Pal
mer to have overestimated by so
divisions the number of American troops
needed to win the war. In an account
of a conversation between Secretary
Baker and Marshal Foch at the allied
front, the French leader is quoted as
telling Baker that 40 and not Pershing S
estimate of 100 American divisions
would be needed in France.

Cars operated by Frederick J. Loiselle of 260 Beecher avenue and Thomas McCarey of 31 Woodtick road collided last evening at the intersection of Meriden road and Beecher avenue. Both machines were damaged, but the occupants escaped injury.
 According to report given to the police the Loiselle car was making a left turn from the Meri- den road into Beecher avenue when the collision took place. Both driv- CTS argued the responsibility of the crash but apparently came to no agreement. Patrolman Joseph Petit of the motor patrol investi- gated, but no arrests were made.

'I have just completed a 3000- mile automobile journey through many states of this country" said pr Carlos A. Abeledo, of Argentina, to a representative of the Pan American Union. Before starting on the trip finished a years grad uate work at the University of Minnesota" continued the visitor. With three fellow students I set out from Minneapolis for New Or leans; from that city we motored to southern Florida; from there, l travelled alone by bus to Wash ington.'
 Asked as to why he came to the United States to study, Senor Aebl- edo replied "T obtained a foreign scholarship from the University of Buenos Aires. could have gone to Europe, but I chose the United States, and the University of Min Aesota as the institution for grad uate study. wanted to know some- thing of your fife and institutions. ! was pleased with the professors with fellow students I formed close ties. Your public libraries and their freedom in lending books sur prisss me. Student expenses are lower at Minneapolis than at Bue- nos Aires"
 T was further surprised to see the number of young men and wo- men in the United States working their way through the university many as manual or unskilled lab orers. I admire this trait; 1t shows the determination of the poor youth to obtain an education. This GUS tom, however, does not prevail in Argentina, at least only in rare cases"
 How about your motor trip observations? Said D, Abeledo: Outstanding impressions are, first, your splendid highways; second, the facilities for motorists and the cheapness of travel when one owns his car; third, the many motor camps and their accommodations and excellent sanitation"
