LONDON. July 13.--Adolphe Danzi-

There Is not. in my estimation, a
single country in Europe as rich and

Is tremendous commercial activity

year. Particularly interesting is the
mining industry. which in the north OF
Spain has developed wonderfully.

LONDON TO WAR AGAIN

LONDON, July 13.-Another deter

small merchants who keep their shops
open on Sunday The attack, which
emanates from a preserving band OF
enthusiasts, is very typical of what
the French call British hypocrisy.
The act which forbids Sunday trad

been seen. Now the Directoire hat n

are familiar from illustrations Of the

These hats are quaint things. Of the
poke bonnet family. adorned with
three nodding plumes or stin little
lunches Of posies and always with
long satin ribbons. which tie under
one ear, or. more demurely, under the
chin. These hats are already being
worn by the younger members Of the

they look with garden party frocks.
Parasols show enormously tall
sticks, which is but another evidences
OF Directoire influence.

BON| CARRIES AWAY
SICK SON TO NURSE

PARIS, July 13.-The Castellaine-
Gould children are again the OBJ
jects Of legal strife. The report
current here that Count Boni had
forcibly kidnapped them from their
mothers house In Versailles Is untrue,
but It Is true that he has begun q
struggle for their possession. The
Marquise de Castellane told The
Times correspondent today that
his son, Count de Boni, hearing that
the youngest child had slight fever
went In an automobile TO Versailles
and told the housekeeper that as the
mother was not nursing her child he.
as the father. would take It with him.
The housekeeper sought TO prevent
him, but Boni got the maid to dress
the little one and took IL with him to
his Paris residence where II is now
progressing. Count Boni's next step
will be to apply to the court for pos
session OF all the children, who, ex-
cept for the youngest whom he took
TO nurse, remain At Versailles.

LYCEUM CLUB RESENTS
SUFFRAGETTE ACTIVITY

LONDON, July 13-When the Ly
ceum club was founded people de
clared that this. the largest OF the
women's clubs in London. would be
broken up by the usual quarrels In
less than year, but 1t has gone on
successfully. until very recently
when really serious cleavage was
caused by the actions OF the Suffra
gette members.
The majority OF the members do not
want the vote. Many of them are
writer's. painters and musicians, and
others are fashionable women who
look upon the club as quiet retreat
from work and social turmoil. The
handful OF Suffragettes, however, were
determined to use the club and It's
name as a lever for hurting petitions
at members OF parliament. The ma
jority In the club deeply resented this
and several actually resigned.
