Los Angeles to Gardiner
Readers of the Journal are follow
ing with interest the progress of Fred
E. £:cott of Pittston, who last fall left
Gardiner for California and is now
making the return journey in the
same car he crossed the continent in
the fall. His last letter was written
in the Grand Canon of the Colorado
while he was waiting for repairs 30
miles from the nearest town.
"After get*ing repaired at the canon
we left on May 2. All through Arizo
na we found had roads and an unlim
ited quantity of dust, sand and ruts.
The state is a real desert to pass
through. We went through one gold
mining town and then the next was
entirely deserted which was, at the
time they were getting gold in paying
quantities, prosperous. We went into
the cliffs of Arizona, where the cliff
dwellers used to live hundreds of
years ago, and viewed the ruins with
much interest.
"From Arizona we entered New Mex
ico and have keen riding for two anil
one-half days through a country where
the people are Indians and Mexicans.
We are now at the Harris Ranch in
the Rockies of New Mexico. The In
dians come out and stop us to sell
their trinkets. New Mexico is more
or less barren in the part we have been
passing through. In some portions of
the State the Indians are doing quote
a lot of farming and have considerable
land plowed up in the sections where
they have irrigation.
"Albuquerque was the first large
place wo reached since leaving Cali
fornia. It is the largest city in the
state and is a clean, rather nice city.
Most of the street cars and busses
are run by women as drivers and con
ductors. This looked extremely odd
to me, as I never ran up against any
thing like it in my travels before.
"1 have only one man with me now,
as the other chap got short of money
and left us at Holbrook, expecting to
beat 1 is way through to Kansas City.
I was to take him with the under
standing that he pay for his food a
part of the way. I gave him a little
money and he skipped out.
"I want to mention one place we
passed through—Santa Fe, New Mex
ico. It has a population of MjOO and
is 69S9 feet above sea level. It is the
center of the most interesting 50-mile
sep are of ny state in the Union. It
has the oldest state capitol in the
Union and is one of its oldest cities.
The city itself is a veritable cluster
of historic and famous landmarks,
cliff dwellings and old missions. An
old church was burned in the Puetlo
revolution : 1 16S0 and restored in 17'0.
It contains an old hell cast in Spain
more than century '. More the discov
ery of America. The altar paintings
lay claim to even greater age and are
by the earliest Spanish masters. The
climate of Sat ta I'e is a great attrac
tion and d wing card, with an average
maximum temperature of 69 degrees
for the summer season. The mercury
never rises above 90 and the nights
are always < I.

: tacliing to inviting the United States
i to participate in any European as
! sembly because of the determination
! of that country not to be dragged
! directly or indirectly into European
! political disputes ns. however, the
proposed commission of investiga
tion is expected to consider matters
strictly financial and economic in
character. The powers think there
can be no question of policies and
that the United States could join the
proposed international board in tiie
same manner as it will participate in
the forthcoming fmanciat meeting at
Paris to study the possibility of an
I international loan for Germany, and
later the assembly of banks of issue
at Uondon to discuss currency, ex
change and monetary problems in

Formal Invitation
for U. S. to Join
Genoa, May 14—-(By A. r.)—The
Italian foreign minister, Signor
Schanzer, who is president of the
economic conference, called on Am
basador Child tonight and handed
him a formal invitation to the United
States government to participate in
[ the nawly arranged Hague confer
ence on Russian affairs in June.
I The ambassador immediately for
i warded the invitation by cable to
| the state department at Wasliinglon.
Italians Plan
Economic Parley
Genoa, May 14.—(By A. P.)—The
Italian premier, Signor Facta, who was
due to return to Rome tomorrow for
an important parliamentary discussion,
gave up the idea of leaving Genoa ow
ing to the gravity of the situation.
Italy is taking advantage of the'
presence at Genoa of representatives
uf the all European countries to carry
on negotiations of an economic charac- |
ter. Besides the Italo-Polish commer
cial treaty, Italy is now negotiating:
a special convention concerning Polish I
oil, and another with Rumania for the |
importation of raw Rumanian oil to '
Trieste, where it will be refined. This
convention with Rumania will be ac
companied by a commercial treaty. i
Other commercial treaties that arc .
abor to be concluded are with Kotho- 1
nia. Spain and Finland.
France. Italy. Spain, Portugal and !
Greece have agreed to meet in Paris in !
the summi t- for a conference regarding j
their alcoholic production, which is :
scriou ly imperilled by the prohibition
laws in the United States.
RUSS. DELEGATES WANT
EQUAL REPRESENTATION
Genoa, May 14. — (By A. I’.) — The ;
Russian delegation announced today
that M. Tchitcherin has prepared a
note to Signor 1'acta. president of tlie
conference, advising him that the Rus
sians will i.ot deal with any commis
sion to discuss Russian financial af- ;
fairs upon which Russians are not of- I
ficially represented on equal terms I
with the other powers.
M. Tchitcherin's note will be sent to i
Signor Fac\a tonight anb members of !
the Russian delegation said it was j
framed after the Russian delegates j
learned from the press that Mr. Floyd i
George, M. Rarthou and representa- !
tives of the other inviting powers were i
framing a compromise reply to the
Russians, in which it was planned to
have a commission excluding the Rus
sians.
Since the suggestion was first
brought to the attention of the Bol
shevik delegates they have allowed it
t' be known officially that they would
not permit their representatives or
representatives on any mixed eommis- j
sion to be humiliated or accorded spe- I
rial treatment which would differen
tiate as between Russia and the other
powers. After plans for such special j1
treatment seemingly became definite, '
M. Tchitcherin and his associates de
cided to take official notice, and inti
mated today that if the inviting pow
ers formally submitted such a prop
osition it might result in the depart
ure of the Russians for Moscow.
Mr. and Mrs. Fred L. Griffith re

Tendered Dinner
on His 73r Birthday
The home of Mr. and Mrs> Seth S.
Aldrich on Chestnut street was the
scene of a most happy occasion at
noon time Sunday when fourteen of
his nearest relatives gathered to ob
serve the 73rd anniversary of his
birth and to partake of a sumptious
dinner that had been prepared by his
helpmate, Mrs. Francis Aldrich. It
was a momentous occasion for the
honored host and one that was most
thoroughly enjoyed by everyone pres
ent.
The dinner consisted of a menu of
tomato bullion, cold ham, cold corn
beef, mashed potatoes, cabbage sal
ad. creamed peas, relishes of all
kinds, pineapple pudding, cake, cof
fee, lemon patties, and cheese.
A feature of the affair was the
ptesence on the table of a large birth
i! .y cake with the necessary number
of candles. J
After dinner the guests adjourned
to the parlor where a general good
time was enjoyed with singing and
music. Mr. Aldrich was the reci
pient of many post cards front fi j -ids
and a delightful smoking stand from
the assemblage.
A pleasant incident was the re
ceipt of a poem dedicated to -papa"
written anil composed by a daughter,
Mrs. Alfred B. Perkins, now living at
T.'S Angeles, Calif., and was read by
■Mr. Aldrich's niece, Mrs. Helen Ful

take and unfair to say tt is a political
marriage. You know* even among
kings and princesses there is such a
thing as ‘love at first sight.1 That is
what happened in this case. The
young king had never met ny daugh
ter until he came to Bucharest last
January. When lie saw her he held
out both hands and said ‘I need vou;
my country needs you. t\ ill you
come and help us?’ That simple,
frank plea won her heart.
The Queen said she often smiled at
the position she had been forced into
by the rircum tnnee that she was
the Quee- mother-ir-law of the Bal
kans.
‘'I eon assure you,” she added
laughingly. I am a ven lenient
mother-in-law, and not the tradition
al termagant. The three children l
have given the thrones of ftrreee,
ltutns.nia and Jupn-Plnvla are su
premely I nput with tl.rir cho res. Ml
are hound to ret on well together
and if tee hnyo such penrr and con
tentment in our family life. why
can't we have it as political and geo
graphical neighbors. Whatever else
1 mav be eritieired for. T won't be
blamed for mv efforts rt brlng'ne
about peace and harmony In the Bal
kans."

—
A. L. Post and G. A. R.
Have Banquet and
Hear Addresses
The members of Wlnthrop Amer
ican Legion Poet No. 40 and their
guests enjoyed n most delight tut
combination chicken and lobster
supper nt tho Winthrop house on
Friday evening. The guests of the
occasion Included Hon. I.. T. Curleton
and Mill Downs of the local G. A. It.
Post. (\ A. It owe of the Hangor Post
of the G. A. It , Past Commander
Francis Bates and Albert Seamans,
members now located In Livermore
Falls and J. O. Htndhnugh of Win
throp.
During the progress of the supper
man> Civil and World War songs
were sung ns well ns n number of
hits from the Minstrel show which
was given so successfully by the Post
last March.
Commander J. Russell Hudson
acted as toastmaster and made intro
ductory remarks. He mentioned that
the memorial tablet had been, or
dered nnd spoke of the play to be
given by members of the Post in con
nection with local G. A. R. Post r,n
the evening of Memorial day. JR
suggested that a vote of thanks be,
extended to Mrs. French for her s< r
\ ices in collecting sufficient funds for
the purchasing of a Post banner.
This gives the Post a complete stand
of colors for use in the Memorial
day exercises. Home funds have a'so
been provided for a cabinet for these
colors and it is hoped that one can
soon be made.
Francis Hates, first commander of
Winthrop Post was the first speaker
of the evening. In a wonderful flow
of eloquence he outlined the present
day trying world situation and called
attention to the fact that It is the
duty of all Legionaires to uphold the
principles for whicli they fought
He dwelt somewhat at length on this
important topic and recalled that
General I.ee once said that •'Put'”
was the best word In the English lan
guage.
Hon. I- T. Caifleton was the other
speaker of the evening and he spoke
of Civil War times and adjustments
as they compare with today. He
urged the bo>s to cling together and
to he lojal to their Post saving that
this would mean more and more to
them as the years go by.
C. A. Rowe was railed upon but
said that he was disqualified as a
speaker because lie was over ”•”> years
o fage.
J. G. Himlhaugh who haa glv< it
freely of his services to Winthrop
Post said briefly that he was glad to
be of what assistance he could
Then followed a round-table talk
in which each memlier took part.
The party broke up at a late hour
being voted by all to lie a great suc
cess. Much credit is due to Pro
prietor Bill Davia for the aide and
efficient manner in which Jie supp* r
was prepared and served. *
