MRS. BELMONT'S ENGLISH
BOYCOTT VERY ENGLISH
American Suffragist Spends First Day
in SCATTERING Her Threat to
Eschew Britishers.

/ London. April 2e.-Mrs. o. H. P. Bel
monts first day in England can hardly
be called as successful as she might have
wished, when her declaration to boycott
English and everything English is borne
i'll mind.
After sleeping in an English hotel. in
room decorated especially for her by
an English firm of upholsters. Mrs. Bel
mont arose at 10 o'clock, being called
by an English maid. After her toilet
she ate an English breakfast. Follow
ing this, the American suffrage leader
hired an English secretary and attended
to her mail. Mrs. Belmont then took
drive with her daughter, the Duchess
of Marlborough, in an English motor car.
When Mrs. Belmont returned to the
Ritz Hotel she found a battalion of Eng
lish and American newspaper men
awaiting her. Mrs. Belmont promptly
refused to see all except the reporter
from Lord Northcliff's newspaper, the
Daily Mail. The boycott was especially
severe against the correspondents of
American papers.
Mrs. Belmont lunched with her duchess
daughter at Sunderland House, and later
called upon Mrs. Emmeline Pankhurst
In High Bridge, spending half an hour
with the British militant leader.
Returning to the Ritz, Mrs. Belmont
continued her boycott by having reg
ulation English tea in the afternoon.
After partaking of an English dinner
tonight, Mrs. Belmont attended a meet
ing of the English suffragettes in Kings
way Hall. and finished the day by tip
ping an English porter at the Ritz with
an English half-crown, thereby earning
an English thanks.

TO START NEWS SERVICE
TO BOOST OWN FAMILY
Waldorf Aston, Disgusted at Way For.
bears Have Been Used, Will
Remedy Fault.

London, April 29.-Waldorf Astor. son
of William Waldorf Aston, member of
Parliament and controller of several Sun
day newspapers here, is organizing a
news agency to serve American news
papers, with the intention, il is said,
of placing the English portion of the
Aston family in a better light in their
native land. and secondly, to secure for
his father the peerage for which he be-
came an expatriate and has sought so
long in vain.
Young Aston has declared that he is
disguised with the manner in which
the American newspapers and the news
agencies here have treated his family.
The news agency will not confine itself
to exclusive news of the doings of the
English Astor family, but will handle
the general news for the benefit of
American papers. The conclusion is
reached here that when the Tory party
is returned to power, William Waldorf
Astor. through his sons aid, will be
able to secure his long hoped-for peer
age,

Great Britain will be satisfied by the

Il believe you two were running mates
once" remarked the friend, by way of
small talk.
so we were" said Kern in remi-
niscent tone, as if he had forgot all
about his Vice Presidential nomination.
Yes put in Bryan. thoughtfully.
Lets see-which time was it. any
how"
Postmaster General Burleson has two
hobbies One is fine pictures He can
ture and tell who painted it, without
consulting a catalogue or the janitor.
He knows the names of various painters,
to say nothing of many other facts about
art His other hobby is dabbling at
science. He spends what time he can
spare at the Cosmos Club, the leading
scientific club of the country, talking on
subjects with men who possess intimate
scientific knowledge. One of the things
he learned one day, or one of the be-
liefs he acquired. was that if there were
no horses there would be no flies. With
out flies there would be much less dis
ease. So il seemed to Burleson that the
logical thing to do was dispense with
horses. The automobile is going to
crowd out the horses before long any
how Why not do it all at once, by
statute? Have a bill. say. that would
prohibit the use of horses in all cities
and towns above a certain size.
Still, Burleson realized that it would
be a radical move and he preferred that
somebody else take the credit for it.
He looked over his fellow members of
Congress the next day and picked Ham
py'' Moore. of Philadelphia. for his
victim. "Hampy'' almost fell for it. but
on reflection, recalled that an old friend
and influential constituent of his owns a
horse named "Old Prince" that has been
in the family for years The man would
have been angered if ''Hampy'' fathered
an anti-horse bill.
Thus it happens that We are still per-
mitted TO drive horses about the streets.
Secretary of the Navy Daniels once
spent a day or two in Jail for contempt
of court on account OF an editorial in
his paper. When he got out Mrs. Dan
iels came around with a horse and
phaeton to take him TO the country for
an airing. hoping to drive away the
prison pallor from his face. One OF the
first people they saw was u coIored man
who had worked for Daniels and who
had been in the habit of getting ar

Usually Daniels had taken pity on him
and paid his fine. This man rushed up
to offer congratulat on Daniels re-
lease.
