At the close of a, tour that took him thru a dozen razed villages ending at the ruins of :the historical cathedral at Rheims, he made this commment: “No one can put into words the impressions I have received | amongst such scenes of desolation and ruin.’ He was accompanied by his wife, Admiral Grayson and a small party. President Wilson motored first to Chateau Thierry, then proceeded by motor to Rheims, passing thru many ruined ~villa; along the old fight- ing lines, ¥ evidences of combat were plainly “geen. After visiting Rheims the President and his party abandoned their motor cars, boarding s-epecial train for the return to is. The first fighting ground was reached as the party neated Belleau _ Wood, immortalized in the history of the war by the gallant fighting of the’ American marines. The Presi- dent stood beside the graves of a hundred or more American boys who gave. their lives at that point. Then President Wilson drove up the hill, over which the American troops smashed the crack Prussian divisions mustered there to crush the “Green- horns” and where the advance on Paria was checked. This was near Chateau ‘Thierry and the spot. ines to be a mecca for Americans f, many. yenrs. to. come; wea On entering Glteau Thierry, the mayor greeted President Wilson. The latter then drove on towards Rheims, | passing along the old battle line be- tween long lanes of barbed wire en- tanglements now rusting away in the ; first winter.of peace, between long muddy trenches reaching over the hills and down into the hollows as far as the eye could see and past wrecks of dugouts, ammunition dumps, aviation sheds, hospitals, bar- | Tacks and all other litter left behind by'the defeated enemy in his flight. President Wilson was welcomed at Rheims by the mayor and a com- mittee. Before going to thé cattie- Gral, President “Wilson passed © thru the streets of the deserted city which ‘was once the jhome .of 115,000 peo- ple, ‘but where less than 5,000 now are eking out an existence among the ruins. A. light blanket of snow covered the ground as the Prosident drove to the cathedral, and Rheims, ravished and naked in all its misery and deso- lation, looked like a graveyard in the moonlight, Cardinal Fufon, Archibishop. of Rheims, who stood steadfastly by his charge for four years, during which scarcely a day passed without a Ger- man shell hurling death into the city, met the President at the fence of rough boards which now excludes curiosity seekers and encloses. the | rubbish into'which this most historic edified has been reduced, The cat dinal conducted President Wilson to the Nave of the ceesmueemuearal JUGO-SLAVS UP IN ARMS, WILL FIGHT ITALIANS By United Press FIUMES .

There has never been unv question of the adoption of a good dry bill by {this legislature. It has only been a jmatter of the exact form the law jshould take. With an excentienal radical wet here and there, the citi- 'zenship of the state is for a good bone dry law that will hold water and spill booze. 3 In presenting the bill today Chair- man Jenkins explained that the meas- ure as presented represented the com- posite experience of other states pre- viously made dry; it had been form- ulated from the practical experiences of these dry states. and was be- lieved by the committee to embody the essential of practical bone dry | legislation.
