WAR IS over!
! MAYORS WILL
! LEAVE FRANCE
U. S. Tourists Make Up
Their Minds About
Prohibition.
BY SIDNEY B. WHIPPLE
United Press STAFF Correspondent

PARIS, June 15-A homesick
group Of American mayors, appre-
ciative of four weeks Of hospitality
. in France, but longing to shuck
their tail-coats and get back to
: business, sail Tuesday on the lie De
France for home.
The mayors got lost Sunday on
their way to Blerancourt and kept
Mrs. w. K. Vanderbilt, Miss Ann
Morgan, Andrew Tardieu, former
premier, and Walter E. Edge.
American ambassador, waiting two
hours for luncheon.
They suffered from the heat and
e. thirst until relieved at a village
cafe near Senlis.
They've Been Brave
In their month in France, the
mayors have toured most Of the
nation. They have been taken to
every conceivable spot in which the
government believed they would
have an interest.
The mayors found it tedious at
times. They have groaned when
they rose early in the morning, like
troupe of one-night-stand actors,
to make the next town. But they
stuck by manfully and with grit
and patience subjected themselves
to the necessary banqueting and
speech-making.
The prohibition question, which
"A
ress through France, appeared to
have been settled. as far as the
majority of the mayors was con-
cerned. The general attitude might
be summed up by the expression Of
ROLAND B. Marvin of Syracuse.
They All Turn Wet!
IT am more than ever convinced"
he said, 'that the answer to the
temperance question is in restoring
personal liberty to the people. The
r French people never appear to abuse
r. the privilege. France seems to be
a nation that believes in personal
liberty not as a matter of politics,
but as a human right and prin-
ciple."
Sylvestro Andriano, representing
San Francisco, said the United
States should take lesson from
T. France on prohibition.
I'm California" he said, 1--WE would
p be prosperous today and there would
be no unemployment If our vinet7
yards and our winners could OPP
crate legitinately under the law"
Kirk Mckinney, representing IN
dianapolis, said the French regard
personal liberty as matter utterly
divorced from politics

From Hoover

President Herbert Hoover is a

thermore, he cooperates quickly.

United States marshal at Phoenix,
the U1Iited States district attorney

paiTtees III Arizona whom he felt
might be able to help him get rid
of an insane Mex can woman named
,Josefa Rosas who had been SEN
fenced to stay in the county jail
for period of four months for en-
ttering the United States illegally.
All day long the woman howled
and kicked, refused to eat, and
otherwise made the county jail and
Sheriff's office a place where no
one would want to spend a single
moment.
Imagine Wager's surprise when he
received a telegram the last of the
week Signed by President Hoover

lowed by an attractive official or
