Gay with Flags.

Paris, Aug. 27. At three o'clock this afternoon war will be banned for overmore. Paris is gay with flags notably French and American but on the roof of the Quai d'Orsay the Sevlet flag flies alongside the Ger- mas. This does not constitute an Invitation to Moscow to sign the Pact. It merely means that the flags of, all nations wherewith Franco diplomatically related are helated Indiscriminately,

The ceremony of signing the Pact will be marked by one speech, namely M. Briand's welcome.

Damaging "Evidence,"

After she had covered a distance of almost three miles in three-quar- ters of an hour she arrived at the mill belonging to Paulick, the non- in-law accused of the murder. The "clairvoyante" actually walked into Paulick's dwelling, but just as ahe came out again a bell rang and she woke out of the trance.

The experiment, in which the examining judge and a lawyer from Kottbus took part, naturally helped considerably to incriminate Paulick, who had himself, requested Frau Gunthers-Geffers to come to Buchholz.

When the "clairvoyante" was on trial a few months ago there was a great deal of discussion in the Ger- man Press on the danger of mak- ing such experiments to help! justice. This case Is most likely to renew the debate, especially ae the trial of the accused man had previously to be dropped for lack of evidence.

Conversation with M. Poincare,
