Heads of Navy Are Annoyed By Women

minated in the court-martial of two
officers, illustrates the prominent part
women play in navy circles.
Almost everybody knows Of the
mutual i'll feeling existing between
the navy women and the department.
Every once In a while something hap
pens to widen this breach. Only a
few days ago Ensign Charles M. Aus
tin, son of Representative Richard
w. Austin Of Tennessee, was deprived
of an especially desirable berth by the
navy department merely because he
got married. He had been detached
from the dispatch boat Dolphin at the
Washington navy yard and ordered
to Japan for duty as a student at
Tokyo for the purpose Of studying the
Japanese language. On the way to
his new post of duty he stopped at his
former home in Tennessee and was
married to a girl he had known for
many years.
This was too much for the unro-
mantle departmental authorities, who
suddenly decided that a married en-
sign would not make as good a stu
dent of the Japanese language as a
bachelor. Accordingly his orders
were revoked and instead of spending
his honeymoon in Tokyo he will have
less interesting service at the naval
training station on the Pacific coast.
He will, however, have his wife.

III ASHINGTON. - America has

empire to smoke cigarettes. In a re-
port to this government on foreign
trade by Consul General Charles Den

the class Of foreign markets which

general says:
"One of the most conspicuous ex-
amples of such a market is the de-
mand for cigarettes in China. Ten
years ago the cigarette was an article
used in China by a small number Of
people, chiefly foreigners. The field
attracted the attention of a group Of
American manufacturers who ex-
amined into it and decided to intro
duce the cigarette to the Chinese peo-
pie by American methods. The result
is that now the cigarette is popular
throughout the empire"

him.
He stirred a little. Liddy was half
in and half out of the door, afraid as
usual to be left alone, and not quite
daring to enter. Her scruples seemed
to fade, however, all at once. She
gave a suppressed yell, bolted into the

gradually waking.

l got her over to my room at last,
more dead than alive, and made her
lie down on the bed.
The tappings, which seemed to have

So in spite of her protests, I left
Liddy alone and went back to the
east wing. Perhaps l went a little
faster past the yawning bfackness of
the circular staircase; and / could
hear Halsey creaking cautiously down
the main staircase. The rapping, or
pounding, had ceased, and the silence
was almost painful. And then sud
denly, from apparently under my very
feet, there rose a woman's scream, a
cry of terror that broke off as sudden

The coverings had been thrown back,
and Louise's pink silk dressing-gown
was gone from the foot, where it had
lain. The night lamp burned dimly,
revealing the emptiness of the place.
I picked it up, but my hand shook so
that l put it down again, and got
somehow to the door.
There were voices in the hall and
Gertrude came running toward me.
What is it?" she cried. What was
that sound? Where is Louise?"

stupidity. Il think-it was she-who
screamed"
Liddy had joined us now, carrying a
light. We stood huddled together at
the head of the circular staircase,
looking down into it's shadows. There
was nothing to be seen, and it was
absolutely quiet down there. Then
we heard Halsey running up the main
staircase. He came quickly down the
hall to where we were standing.
There's no one trying to get in. l
thought I heard some m shrek.
Who was it,"
Our stricken faces told him the
truth.
Some one screamed down there"
l said. "And-and Louise is not In
her room"
With a jerk Halsey took the light
from Liddy and ran down the circular
staircase. l followed Lin, more slow
ly. My nerves seemed to be in a state
| of paralysis; l could scarcely step. At
the foot of the stairs Halsey gave an
| exclamation and put down the light.
Aunt Ray" he called sharply.
At the foot of the staircase, hud-
died in a heap, her head on the lower
| stair, was Louise Armstrong. She lay
limp and white, her dressing-gown

her dark hair stretching it's length a

staircase-sat, because my knees

to. There was something grisly and
horrible to me, seeing her there in
almost the same attitude and in the

| similarity, just then the hail clock,
| far off, struck family three o'clock.
1t was four before Louise was able
