Tt is well known, of course, that mere suggestion of this triple alli- wnce is aggravating to a powerful lement in the United States Senate nd its carrying into effect will al- ways be stoutly resisted. Yet, it is argued by its proponents that the security demanded by France will be such as would be provided by such an agreement, and, lacking it, France will continue to insist upon providing ample means for her own protection. Much Yet to Be Done. Within the’ short time remaining be- fore the assembling of the conferencé, that is to say short when measured in terms of the leisurely progress of diplo- matic negotiations, much must yet be done to clear up some of the far eastern questions before the conference as- sembles, if they are not to be added to the list of subjects considered by the « -)’Yi(eru‘vc. i he Yap controversy still going | g9 ¥ through the diplomatic mill, as lkewlss | bors. e Shiopine HraEq jaembloys tis the Shuntung disagreement between | have the suggestion under considera- Japan and China.

PERSHING GIVES UP LONDON CEREMONY American Troops, Held at Paris for Week, Return to Coblenz. By the Associated Pres PARIS, October 10.—American trovj~ which had been held here for a week to act &8 & guard of honor at the cerc- mony expected to be held in West- minster Abbey, London, when Geu. 1 Pershing was to lay the congressiona! | medal of honor upon the tomb of the British “unknown soldier,” have re- turned to Coblenz. Gen. Pershing will not go to London, as he had planned, because of the failure of the British war office to fix a date for the cere- mony. Such explanations of the delay on th art of the war office to fix the ti when the United States formally could honor Great Britain's war dead would appear to indicate that the British government did not have time to muke the arrangements for the ceremo Washington advised London early in August of the details of the plan, but it is said many British ministers have been out of the city and have other- wise been so busy that they have been unable to give the situation the attention it demanded. _Gen. Pershing will sail for ihe United States on October 20, and the interval before that date will not be sufficient to permit him to carry out his plan of going to London. COMMENT IS DECLINED. the as- he eon- S I IN'LEEDS WEDDING Crowd Storms Church to Wit- ness Marriage of New Yorker and Princess. By the-Associated Press. PARIS, October 9.—The final rites in the marriage of Princess Xenia Georgievna of Russia and William B. Leeds, jr., of New York, were carried out today. Two religious ceremonies, following the civil ceremony of Satur- day, were performed. The first of these, which was brief and simple. took place at the American Episcopal Church of the Holy Trinity, and the second, which lasted one hour, fol- lowed at the Russian Church. At the latter ceremony all the pomp and historic custom of the ancient ortho- dox church formed part of the cere- mony, which was performed by the private chaplain of Queen Mother Olga of Greece. The ceremony at the Episcopal Church was witnessed by only rela- tives and a few friends, but it was found impossible to bar several thou- sand members of the Greek and Rus- slan colonies from that in the Rus- sian Church. When the bridal party entered that edifice the crowd stormed the barrier, and as many Dersons as could be squeezed in rushed into the church o witness the ceremony. After the wedding the church attendant had to force a way through the church aisles for the bride and groom. Bridal Party Gives Reception. After the last church function the bridal party held a reception at one of the leading Paris hotels. Tonight the bride and groom left Paris for the where a houseboat on which they will spend their honeymoon s awaiting them. = Because of numerous deaths in the family of Princess Xenia since the bolsheviki came Into power in Ru sla, all the ceremonies incident to the rriage were planned with the ut- most of simplicity. There were no attendapts. Prince Christopher of Gree Husband of young Leeds' mother, acted as witness and best man for Mr. Leeds, while the Grand Duke Dmitri of Russia was the witness for the bride, who is his cousin. The lit- tie son and daughter of Prince George of Greece carried the bride's train. Prince Xenia wore a simple dress of liberty sutin, cut along perfectly straight lines and had a garland of orange blossoms around her waist. A full veil of tulle feli from her head. The only jeweiry the bride wors was a long chain necklace set with dia- monds, with a sapphire and diamond pendant—a gift from mother. {The bride was given away at the {altar by her uncle, Prince George of Greece. Americans in Attendance, Among the Americans who attended wedding were Cortlandt F. Rishop and Mrs. Bishop, the Rev. Di ekman, rector of Holy rinity u d Mrs. Beekman; MY. and heldon Whitehouse, Seth Barton General’s Order Referred to France Alone. Officials of the State and War d partments today declined to comment on the report that Gen. Pershing will return to the United States without stopping In Lendon to place the con- greseional medal of honor on the grav of theunknown British soldier in Wer- minster Abbey, except to say tha they “saw no discourtesy on the par: of the Eritish government in failins to fix a date for the ceremony in 1) short time intervening before Pershing leaves for home.” Just LeWore Gen.

Secretary Weeks today explained that arrangements had been pre- iously made with the French goyv- ernment for the ceremonies to take place in Paris on a certain date, but that no such arrangements had then been concluded with the British au- thorities.

MR.DAUGHERTY TO DECIDE Sacramental Wine Business to Be Put Up to Him. ‘The long-disputed question of wholesale dealers in sacramental ‘wines being permitted to do business under the national prohibition laws has been put to the Department of Justice for decision. Secretary Mel- lon has asked Attorney General Daugherty to rule whether commer- cial irms can bo permitted to deal in _wines for religious purposes. Under an opinion of former Attor- ney General Palmer, which banned wholesale liquor dealers from selling intoxicants, the Treasury contem- plated the inclusion of the dealer in sacramental wines in the general category. Protests againat @ ban on the dealers in wines for religious purposes were lodged with the Trea: ury by a number of denominations on the ground that the churches were unable to obtain wines.of a standard quality from other sources. Existing reguiations confining the sale of liquors in Wholesale quant! ties to wholesale druggists and ma ufacturers have excepted sacramen- tal wine dealers pending Mr. Daugh- erty’s determination of the law.
