Con- 3206-8 N Street 1641 Connecticut Avenue FRENCH FLAG GIFT ACCEPTEDFORU.S. President Receives = From Jusserand Banner That Figured in War. As a souvenlr of this country’s par- ticipation in the world war President Hurding today accepted for his coun- trymen the presentation by Amba sador Jusserand of France of the American flag which was displayed beside the French tricolor on the Eiftel Tower, with a salute of 101 guns, when news came of Amerlca's entry into the struggle. The historic flag, also later dis- played at the celebration of - the | Marne victories at the Troccadero Palace in Paris in September, 1918, was presented by the ambassador on behalf of the Union of Large French Associations for National Growth. It was first displayed at a_ celebration of America’s enfry into the war held by that organization on April 20, 1917, the same day upon which it was unfurled from the Eiffel Tower. The flag will be preserved in the National Museum here. i Souvenir of Wa i “As a souvenir of what was done in those fhomentous years,” Ambas- sador Jusserand said in his address of presentation, “this flag will be preserved from generation to genera- tlon and will continue fresh in the hearts of every freedom-loving in- habitant of the earth.” The ceremony, held In the east room of the White House, was at- tended by the Secretary of War, Gen. Pershing and high officials of the Army, Navy and Marine Corps. Recounting in his address that the first salute given the American flag in European waters was that-accord- ed the thirteen-star emblem flown from John Paul Jones' ship, the Ranger, by a French fleet at Qui- beron, M. Jusserand declared the “un- known" flag of that day was “now re- spected all over the world. Gratitude of French. “Five years ago,” he sald, “when the fight was again for liberty and the forty-eight united states decided to throw their mighty sword on the scale, a thrill of enthusiasm and grati- tude went through the heart of every Frenchman and Frenchwoman from the farthest trencMes to the remotest mountain Kamlet. Richer in stars than that of Paul Jones', but repre- senting the same impulse, the flag of America was holsted, when the news ame, at the top of the Elffel Tower, side by side with the tricolor of France, devised for us by Lafayette during our own revolution, and was saluted with 101 guns. | This same flag, displayed also on other great occaslons relating to the common effort and the common vie- tory, was brought to this country by Marshal Foch, with the papers testi- fying to its authenticity. I count it as one of the greatest honors that could befall me to have the privilege of presenting It to the justly admired chief of the nation which, at a most Measures up to _the Wise Standard of Quality—your protec- tion. 183—service starts at once perilous hour. came to the rescue, and to do so on this day of commemora- tion.

I am not a little impressed by what you have just said. It is a ther curious coincidence. I stood sterday before all that is mortal of John Paul Jones, who gave expres- sion to American independence at the same time that France gave rec- on to the flag. 2 ags are measured only by what they represent. Probably it adds lit- tle to the charm and beauty of the stars and stripes and their wonder- ful coloring to have been saluted with the love and affection and reverence of your republic, but it does add much to that for which the flag stands. It means a new tie, a new bond of affection between your republic and ours. It means a renewed commit- ment of liberty-loving France and liberty-loving America to the liberty to which we have jointly and sever- ally contributed. New Assurance of Amity. “It means a new assurance that the cordial affection and reverent respect of the one republic for the other, which each feels for the other, and which will endure, as you have sug- gested, for all time to come. It is a very pleasing thing to have this signal banner returned after having recelved these exceptional honors. It will be placed {n the treasure house of America among its most valued souvenirs, where it will be preserved as one of the richest heirlooms of the war.” PERU ART TO BE SHOWN.

By the Associated Press. CHICAGO, May 380.—Miss Mathilda McCormick instead of sailing today from New York for Switzerland, sup- posedly to wed Max Oser, Swiss rid- ing master,, returned to Chicago unex- pectedly. She refused to make any statement of her plans for her marriage or otherwise. Miss McCormick, whose return is supposed to relate to the guardianship proceedings in the probate court in which_her mother, Mrs. Edith Rocke- feller McCormick, intervened yesterday, was met at the railroad station by her father, Harold F. McCormick, president of the International Harvester Company. “I've been bothered to death,” the girl said. “I have nothing to say. I have no explanation to make of my re- uhr;‘iuu McCarmick smiled nervously and twisted her handkerchief as she spoke. Mr. McCormick, who on his own ap- plication, was appointed his daughter's guardian several days ago, greeted Mathilde with a kiss and a “hello, ing, so glad to see you bacl but he, too, refused to discuss Mathilde's fairs. NEW YORK, May 30.—No hint as to why Miss Mathilde McCormick re- turned suddenly to her home in Chi- cago was given by Miss Julla Man- gold, formerly secretary to Miss Mc- Cormick’s fiance, Max Oser, when she sailed today on the Berengaria on her way. to London. Accompanied to_ the pier from the Hotel Plaza by Fowler McCormick, her friend's brother, Miss Mflns?ld went at once to her stateroom. She boarded the steamer about half an hour before lines were thrown off. Asked if the riding master Wwas coming soon to America, Miss Man- gold said she did not know. Asked it she expected he would see her in London, she replied: “Why should he?” Legal Fight Reopened. Meanwhile another mystery in- volving Miss McCormick was await- ing solution in Chicago. It centered around the legal battle started by Mathilde’s mother, Mrs. Edith Rocke- feller McCormick, against the peti- tion to appoint her divorced hus- band guardian of their daughter. The proceedings in which it was announc- °d that the guardianship was all gettled will be reopened tomorrow because Mrs. McCormick did not re- ceive the required three days’ notice of the petition which was filed by Mathilde herself. Mrs. MoCormick's protest, it was said, was made in pursuit of her ob- Jections to her daughters marriage to the Swiss riding master. In this John D. Rockefeller is said to sup- | port his daughter.

Corporation: Counsel Stephens ‘Wants Authority Defined. Corporation Counsel Stephens is ready to go before the United States 2| Supreme Court with a petition for a' rehearing in the Moreland case, In ‘which the court held that the Juvenile Court is without power to sentence a man to hard labor unless he has been indicted. The request for a reopen- ing of the cas¢ i® based entirely, Mr. Stephens said, on points of law. The principal purpose in filing the petition is to have the court remove: any doubt as to the authority ‘of the Police Court to sentence prisoners without indictment. Mr. Stephens ex- plained that at the present time the Police Court sentences violators of minor laws to imprisonment and they are then transferred to Occoquan, an institution where labor is required as part of the discipline. The corporation counsel sald that while the decision of the Supreme Court in the Moreland case dealt only with the Juvenile Court, there is a danger that the jurisdiction of the Police Court might be quéstioned as a result of the decision.

Senator Harrison Urges President to Report Executive Appointments. Senator Harrison, démocrat, Mis- aissippi, demanded to know yester- day in the Senateihow mucn longer that body would have to walt for President Harding to comply with its request, embodied in a resolution adopted last month, for information as to the number of persons appointed to office by legislative order since March 4, 1921. Senator Harrison, who was the a thor of the resolution, said he had as- sumed that ten days would be ample time for compiling a report. but added that five weeks had elapsed since the Senate acted. “I know that many problems are before the President,” he said, “and that he has many engagements, so- cial, political and otherwise. 1 know, too, that at times it is necessary that he glide down the water on the May- flower and keep up acquaintanceship with his friends, but it is important that the country know how many persons have been appointed to office by executive order.” e Products which brought farm wom- en nearly $109,000 were marketed in South Carolina during 1921 through associations aided in their organiza- tion by extension workers with women.
