WASHINGTON, April 26. — Few
more impressive scenes have been
witnessed in Washington than that
enacted at the navy yard when the
president’s yacht, the Mayflower, ar
rived with the French representatives
yesterday afternoon. Several thous
and persons lined the half-mile lane
from the navy yard gates to the pier
I where the yacht docked with the dis
tinguished visitors. Mounted troopers
came to attention from their position
as guards of honor near the pier.
Scores of naval military officials were
waiting to greet the French commis
sion and as the Mayflower was warped
jinto her pier the marine band on the
lawn of the navy yard struck op the j
“Marseillaise.”
On the Mayflower deck standing out]
in sharp contrast among his civilian !
companions, was Marshall Joffre, in
red cap and a pale blue cloak. Immed
iately the gang plank was up, Secre- j
tary Lansing mounted it and as he
stepped on deck the bugles sounded.
I All soldiers and sailors came to atten
j tion as did the victor of Mai ne, while
the secretary of state hastened forward
between the lines of the crew and
greeted former Premier Viviani and
General Joffre and the other members
of the party. A great cheer went up
and the party led by Viviani and Lan
sing then descended the gangplank.1
They went immediately to the resi
dence held in readiness for the French j
commissioners. As they left the pier
the marine band continued playing the i
French national air. The crowds lin
ing the streets cheered the eommis-,
sioners as they were whisked away in
limousines.
The British commissioners got a

real welcome last Sunday but it did
not class with the love, reverance and
brotherhood that marked the arrival j
in Washington of the representatives
of the greatest republic in Europe, j
As they rode through the wide avenue j
of the city the men of France were
made to feel that their sacrifices were
appreciated by the American people.
It was plain that the spirit of Lafey
ette still lives in the hearts of the na
tion and it was commented on as more
than a co-incidence that exactly 140
years ago yesterday, April 25, 1777,
Marquis I)e Lafeyette sailed from
Passages, Spain, to offer his sword
and his all to the seiwice of the peo
ple who at that time were fighting for
the perpetration of a democracy and
a representative government.

could inform The Empire and other
newspapers in Alaska that the con

WASHINGTON, April 26.—British
Foreign Minister Arthur J. Balfour s
more than pleased with his present to
the United States, hut for all the ac
tivity displayed and the bright lights
at night, he has a way of looking at it
through a Britisher’s eye, those dim
med by war. Today Mr. Balfour said:
“I arrived here Sunday afternoon.
That evening I took a walk in the park
and I was struck by a feeling, which
at first 1 could not analyze. Then it
came to me suddenly. It was the first
time in two and a half years that I
had walked down a street at night
that was properly lighted.
“Think what that means. London
is wrapped in gloom. Everywhere is
darkness, it is much like living in the
medieval ages.”
The tall Briton spoke with sadness
of manner in which the war has touch-1
ed every hearthstone and home in the
United Kingdom.
“I saw, with very great regret thi.
morning, that the sen of Lunar Law,
our chancellor of the exchecquer, is
wounded and missing in Palestine. It
bi'ought home to me, even more tragic,
the losses of this war of the cabinet
ministers who were serving the gov
ernment. in August, 11)1-1. One has
been killed in action, and at least four
have lost their sons. It is character
istic of what is happening everywhere
throughout France and England.”

WASHINGTON, D. C.—A national
prohibtion measure will be put before
congress ;tt the extraordinary session
only in case President Wilson asks it
a> an additional war act, declared
democrats of the house in Thursday
right's caucus. When New York
t *presentatives protested because of
the adoption of a resolution providing
for consideration of a measure au
thorizing the president to prohibit
tile manufacture or sale of liquor dur
ing the war, the provisional measure
was introduced as a compromise. The
democrats decided that only such war
ami general defense legislation as
may be recommended by the presi
dent will be considered during the
session.
fientiment for a prohibition meas
ure was strong in the caucus and it
was only the danger of a party split
that caused the provisional resolution
to be passed. Opinions differ as to
whether the president will ask a pro
hibition measure since it is also the
administration project to increase the
tax on liquors as a revenue measure.
The caucus refused by a majority
of one vote to approve any water
ways legislation lest “pork barrel”
(barges might interfere with the .vat
program.
Despite the fact that official figure
from the department of agriculture
have shown that more than 600,000,
000 bushels of grain are used each
year in brewing, distilling, anil simi
lar industries, Hugh F. Fox, of New
York, secretary of the United States
Brewers’ association, has come to
Washington prepared to furnish to
congress figures, purporting to be of
ficial, from his organization showing
that only 107,000,000 bushels are used
in this business. This, he says, rep
resents but 1 per cent of the grain iu
the United States.

^ >> j j ^*x a »i j £4 Patriotism and thrift are inseparable. This
MT CLbl lUllSlll dlllQ X 11 III X a* true as that the sood the patriotic
citizen. At the outset of the present war there
were 367 savings accounts to every 1,000 of population in Germany, 370 out of 1,000 in France, 342 out of 1,000 in the United Kingdom, hut only 218
out of 1,000 in the United States. In other words, there were nearly twice as many savers, in a given number, among the people of these European
powers, as there were in the United States! No wonder they have been able to astonish the United States by the way they have financed the more
than forty billion dollars already invested in the war. THEY WERE BETTER SAVERS THAN' WE. We can well loam from their example and
add more generally the splendid quality of thrift to our own undoubted spirit of patriotism. It is the privilege of tiiis bank through its
facilities to be of practical assistance to all who are practicing thrift.
