Of course there were nations coming at that time who had not enough to support a flag, Thats why the commission were here to place a Flag Contract,

   Now to get to my Peace trip, About three months are supposed to have elapsed between the last Paragraph and this one, All of which time was taken up by Congress talking, (

    see congressional Record

   ) Finally Pres Wilson got tired listening to them and walked out on them,

   If it had not been to get away from Congress, I have my doubts if he would have gone to Europe,

   Now for the Number 2 Peace trip,

   This Peace trip is not an original Idea, (It was originated by some obscure

    Manafacturer of Knick Nacks

   ,)

    Name furnished at advertising rates

   ,

   Its always the same, the fellow who originates anything or starts something new is generally called a nut, The next fellow comes along takes his Idea improves on it and of course is a smart man,

   Of Course this No 2 Company used better Judgement than the first one. This one waited till the war was over to Go,

   This is the only case in Theatrical History where the No 2 Company was better than the original,

   Of corse I claim this Manafacturer in some middle west town (I cant seem to recall that fellows name) made one mistake, There were people on his Boat that should never have had a return trip ticket,

   Through Holland receiving them is where the Kaiser got his idea of going there,

   Of course there was a lot of dissatisfaction against the Pres going, Mostly by people whom he did not take along,

   I was in favor of his going because I thought it would give us a chance to find out who was Vice President, But it Dident,
