Co. Pnrln, Nov. 29. Whatever practical results may follow President Wilson's appearance In IJurope, Franco will give him tho greatest wel come ever accorded to a foreigner on French soil I do not refer to tho of ficial arrangements, which naturally will not leave nil) thing undone to honor the Frcsldent, but to the Immense spontaneous reception by the peoplo of France The democratic elements here, which Include the majority of the pe'ople and tho Parliament, will turn out en masse. Preparations nro making on nil sides, Inspired by an ardent admiration for and a profound trust In Sir Wilson The desire Is widespread nnd deep among the elements not onlv to nttest their con fidence, but to make a showing that will strengthen the President In Furopenn councils. Whether the (ffrct will last long as against the subtleties of Furopean diplomacy, remains to be seen General American opinion here continues that the visit will result In a loss of In fluence ns compaied with handling the situation from tho vantage point of tho White House RED CROSS JELLY BY TON Porto Rico Ships 120,000 Glosses Over teas for Soldiers in France San Juan, Porto ltlco, Nov 29 Porto Ttlco has completed the sh'pment of 120,000 glasses about thirty-one tons of guava Jelly to the IV-d Cross in France to be distributee! among the hos pitals The Jelly was made by the Porto ltlco Chapter of the American lied Cross and sent to France as a contribution rom Porto ltlco Last year the Island Ited Cross made and sent to France about twelve tons of guava Jolly and It was so greatly ap preciated that Charles Hartzell, chair man of the Porto ltlco chapter, recently received a cable from National Hcd Cross headquarters at Washington say ing the supply In France was all gone and asking If any more was available. Ten thousand cases of Jelly which the Ited C'rosi had ready for shipment to Frnnce recently were sunk at tho pier at New York REVOLT SHADOW OVER LUXEMBURG Presence of American Army Has Quelled Talk for the Present FUTURE IS UNSETTLED Several Political Parties ' of Revolutionary Character Striving for Supremacy Hy EDWIN L. JAMES Special Cable to Evening Public Ledger Cowrtoht, 19It, bv A'no Vorfc Times Co. Luxemburg, Nov, 29, After a rest along tho German border the American army of occupation will soon resume Its march to the Ithlno, occupying the stretch from tho vicinity of Coblenz southward. The march from the Moselle to tho Ithlno Is something llko 160 kilometers (ninety-three miles), which at tho rate of fifteen kilometers (nlno nnd three-fourths miles) per day should ho made in ten or perhaps twelve d.ijs, If no long stops wcro or dered. The Americans have enjoyed tho best in tho Duchy of Luxemburg, where they have been well treated, with the excep tion of the very high prices charged for what they rought to buy. The talk of revolution hero seems to have been almost dropped since tho Third Army has arrived Unquestionably Its pres. ence has stabilized affairs temporarily, at least The future of the duchy s politics still hangs In tho balance. The Clerical party, backed by the peasantry, wishes to ict.iln tho Duchess, while the very strong Liberal party favors a re public and Is friendly to France Thero Is another revolutionary element, which wishes union with Uelglum. It seems thit the sentiment In favor of Prance has bten growing dally since the spell of the Germans was taken away. The duchess, rigntiy or wrcngiy, Is generally regarded as pro-German, and one hears free talk of a telegram she sent tho Kaiser praying for n Ger man victory. This has aroused Intense antagonism among tho elements favor able to France. In a word, there arc moro different klnds'of politic) here than In Ilarrlsburg with a prohibition bill on tho calendar. Tho outcome, of course, Is unimportant, so far as the number of peoplo Is concerned ; but Important, nevertheless, ns a glance at the history of tho duchy In Its relation to European politics will show. Released prisoners coming through the llhlne valley do not picture food conditions there aa being as bad as reports have represented them. Two Tommies told me today that three days ago they bought three steaks In Mainz for ten mnrks. You can't do that in Luxemburg. French Honor Guatemala Otintemala City, Nov. 29.
