That tells the story ot Bamhardt'a energy. She is coming again to America, by the way. The mother of that Bern **rdt granddaughter is tbe \ ?Princess Jabloneska, who studied at Julian's in Paris, with Marie ?Mhkirtseff. The Princ?ss mother was a Polish countess; her father waa the old King of Italy, created by Garibaldi. "My granddaughter possesses great talent and is an exquisite poetes?," saya Bernhardt. No wonder. A new line-up in Europe, with France the friend of Turkey, Poland and Russia, againat Eng land. The next step, naturally, will be a British step toward Germany, Austria, and Italy. Then Europe will be all ready for a new start and a new war. Russia, as usual, will be the un certainty?she reserves the right to change her mind and change aidea at any moment. That is the revolutionary method. Awhile ago war ended with France ana England in each t other's arms, vowing eternal friendship, Italy disgusted, aa ahe well might be, with her allies' treatment, Germany and Austria nowhere, Russia boy cotted by all, and Turkey ap parently a thing of the past. Then France sent weapons and money to the Turks to tight the Greeks; back came Turkey, with the allies bowing and yielding politely to the "unspeakable' One. And now everything is changed. Just one lesson for Uncle Sam in alt that. Let him attend to his own business, keep away from Europe's complications, ?nd let our friends over there tight and borrow from EACH OTHER. _ Doctor Heyman, head of Blackwells Island insane asylum, In Now York, invites artists to sing to 600 unfortunates under his care.

In savings bank? prohibition ists have an argument hard to answer?if you take saving?) bank statistics as final. In the year past deposits have in creased $88,499,000 and deposit or* have increased by 764,085. There are new $3,046,054,000 in savings bank accounts and 1,873,327 depositors. Encouraging figures, but those opposed to prohibition may say there are things more Import ant to progress than dollars put away. Time alone, about ninety years, will tell what pro hibition actually means with our kind of a mixed race. Lloyd George coins ?? new .ex pression: "If you listen to the never-do's, it's never done." m Every country, every hi??? organ ization has its never-do's to 1 tell why things CANT be done. They're plentiful in this coun try, when it comes to telline why the people can't own nnd manage their own public monop olies, railroads, telegraph, etc. People that fight "BIG" busi ness, not realizing that nothing can be TOO big, if well man aged, will please observe the methods of Henry Ford, and the results attained.

Answer : He haa made more than one million automobilea al ready thia year and ia now turning out. 5,000 a day, at the ? refe of more than 1,500,000 a year. Quantity and intelligence 1 that makes him divide results with the public explain his su premacy. In French prisons only five German war prisoners are left. Except the five, all were par doned hy the French president, and the five convicted of serious offenses have had their sentences reduced. In American prisons are some dozens of American prisoners. The only crime charged against them was talking unpatriotically and foolishly. They did not be lieve tn war. . What this government thinks it is doing, keeping these men and women locked up after political prisoners in other countries have been relcsscd. is I not clear. One thing the -rov G ernment is doing is keeplnc alive the thing it seeks to destrov, supplying ammunition to those that call this government tho moat reactionary oa earth. ' ?

Forbes Cam-els Address. On tho heela of the abrupt de parture of Colonel Korbes, director of the Federal Veterans Bureau, ?and the sudden cancellation of th? | address he was to make to tho convention, fourteen different reso lutiona from as many different State delegations which all em bodied caustic criticisms of Sawyer? were smothered at a stormy night session of the Inter-State Hospitali sation Committee. Continuation of attacks upon the Administration were strongly op posed hy the same group which was largely responsiblo for the "softening" of the criticisms of President Harding in the Beparatel soldiers' bonus resolutions adopted by tho convention, In discarding the fourteen antl Sawyer resolutions the committee, which suddenly supplanted the logions national rehabilitation or nain.:.n,m. an entirely distinct bod', decided to present a report to the convention today recommending the acceptance of tho settlement of the legion's controversy with 8awyer over tho Government's treatment of sick and disabled vet erans on the terms ?Sawyer agreed to.

Sawyer was declared to have "signed on the dotted line" an Indorsement of this program and to have committed himself to full co-operation with the legion In na tional rehabilitation work. Some of the resolutions "killed" by the Interstate Committee were adopted previously by the different State legion organizations which submitted them and when the com mittee's action liecame known there were threats that the fight on Sawyer would be carried to the convention floor. To oppose Sawyer's critics and effect a compromise the Interstate committee agreed to qualify its report to the extenj of stating that the legion accepted his attitude "as sincere only for the time be ing" Oppose Soft Shoeing. The phrase "for the time being." was insisted upon, however, by those at the secret committee meeting, who declared they were opposed ?? the "soft pedaling" policy decreed by the legion leaders. Several rejected resolutions also contained < rlticisms of Senators Newberry and Townsend of Michi gan, who were accused of using their Influence with Preeideni Harding to induce him to direct Sawyer to establish a veterans' hospital In that State.

Dr. Edward W. Hall, lector of the Protestant Episcopal Church of St. John the Evangelist, and tho choir singer. Mrs. James Mills, were murdered in a lonely barn four miles from the spot where their bodies were found, was being thecked up by the Somerset and Middlesex count? authorities t?.day. Tw0 side combs and two hand kerchiefs, stained with blood, were found near this, barn. The comb? and at least one of the handker chiefs are said to have been iden tified by sixteen-year-old Char lotte Mills as belonging to her mother?the slain woman. Mills Lays Blame (o Woman. .lames Mills, husband of the mui dertd choir singer, declared that h" is now conVinced that some women killed his wife. "I feel sure some woman did that ?.hooting.'' said Mills. "'She did it be cause she hated my wife." Mills salti ho was convinced thai the letters now being published a*> tho love correspondence of his wife and Dr. Hall were genuine. "They certainly made ? fool out of me." exclaimed the wronged hua itand bitterly. Il is learned that investigators ar* trying to trace tho whereabouts of a mass of impels and documents that were removed from the clergyman's home on the afternoon of September Iti. the day the bodies were found. According to one version, the papers were "orateti'' and carried away in a motor car belonging to a relative of the Halls. Two new witnesses have been found who told the county au thorities that they passed near the old barn in a motor car about 10:30 o'clock on the night of September 14. and that they heard tho agonized screams of a woman pleading for her life. Tho new witnesses, both men. were driving from Red Bonk lo this city. cind the road they followed took them noar the barn where the double murder is now believed to have been committed. Cries of "help, help! murder: police, police! For God's sake do not kill me:" came from the vicinity of the barn. The car in which the two men were driving passed within twenty or thirty feet of the spot where the woman was bogging for her life, but it was so dark that they could aot distinguish the persons embroiled in the trouble". Later the same night the same two men were said to have seen a larice high-powered motor car dashing st top speed through Pe Russey Lane. ?ili. h flanks the spot where the two bodies were found stretched out. side by side, under a little crabapple tree on the morning of September 1?.
