~ and furiously galloping through
Champagne when, on the 18th OF
March, 1914. the allies saw from
Clichy the setting sun gid the spires OF
Paris, the first alien invaders to behold
that sight in $50 years.
The Car Alexander beheld the end OF

Fail of Paris.


From a tower Of Notre Dame the Pa
risians could see the Russians and Ger
mans and Austrians rolling toward their
walls like q tidal wave, and could see
the smoke curling above the camp hres
Of the enemy. The French had conquered
the capitals of Europe and now retribu-
tion awaited them at the gates Of their
own capital. where the eager Cossacks
echoed the cry of hetman: "Ah. Faith
er Paris! Thou shalt now pay for
Mother Moscow
In the presence Of the great army of
allied Europe, the city was utterly help
less. The beautiful capital was adorned
with the treasures of conquered lands
and the monuments of military triumph.
No less than LOO melted cannon, which
Napoleon had captured from Russia and
Austria, were in the lofty Vendome col
umn. But there were no guns to mount
on the city wall. Paris. like all France,
was exhausted by victory and bankrupt
ed by glory.
Already Marie Louise and her three
year-old boy had left the Tuileries. The
Emperor hsa repeatedly commanded that
his wife and son should leave before
the city fell. 'I would rather my son
sho6ld have his throat cut than that he
should be brought up in Vienna as an
Austrian prince" he wrote King Joseph.
AS for himself. he plainly warned his
brother that when Paris fell he would
have ceased to live.
1t was no new experience for Marie
Louise to nee before an advancing army.
Thrice had she fed Vienna to escape
Napoleon, and now she was about to run
away from the army OF her father. But
the little King Of Rome, in spirit OF
prophecy, stubbornly refused to leave,
and poor FAigion clung to the doors and
his little hands clutched at the balus-
trade Of the stair as he struggled against
the IMPLYING fate which was hurrying
him into q lifelong captivity.
When the batteries of the allies began
to knock at the gates on the soth Of
March there were only seven old can
non with which to hold the natural de-
fenses Of the city. the heights Of Mont
martre. Marshals Marmont, Mortier,
and Money gathered a few defenders,
some Of them only high school boys, and
offered q gallant but vain show of re-
.sistance. At in the afternoon the struE-
gle was over and trumpeter rode out
with nag Of truce. BY the gate of La
Vfllette, not far from the Care du Nord
today, a psrley was held as the sun was
sinking behind Montmartre and It was
agreed that the little army Of defense
should evacuate the city in the night and
that. the allies should make ,xheir entry
in the morning.

THE AMENDING
MEASURE
Daily Telegraph Asserts the Govern.
ment viii Accept the
Bill

London, July 9-The house of lords
is dealing with the bill amending the
home rule bill with unusual expedi-
ton and is wasting little time in dis
cussion.
Three important amendments were
adopted yesterday. The first provid.
ed for the elimination of the clause
of the bill requiring that vote shall
be taken In each county Of Ulster on
the question whether II should be ex-
cluded from the operation of home
rule bill. The second provided for
the total exclusion of Ulster. without
time limit. The third. which WAS
accepted by the government, places
the excluded Ulster under a secretary
of state, instead of the lord lieutenant
in order to avoid any possibility of
influence from Dublin.
An amendment offered by Lord Nc
Donnel, proposing sort OF home rule,
within home by setting up special
Ulster council of flfty-two members
to take over the chief administrative
work of the province was supported
by moderates like Earl Loreburn and
Courtney, but was rejected on divi.
sion by 1876 to 20.
The Daily Telegraph today asserts
on high authority that the govern
ment eventually will accept the bill
rs amended by the house Of lords. 1t
adds that there will be no difficulty
regarding the abolition of the time
limit, but that the Redmondites will
stoutly oppose the exclusion of the
whole of Ulster. They will, however,
the Telegraph declares, be outvoted
on this point in the house Of commons
by combination of Unionists and
Liberals,

Why Men

primitive indeed at work here-man's

lief that she Is a stranger of another

What can be the cause" King
James | asks in his "Demonology,"
that there are twenty women given
to that craft where there is only one

his question by showing the decisive
hold which Satan obtained over wo.

II II had not had such terrible con.
sequences, there is something almost
comic in the fear woman has inspired

Women, to do them Justice, have
never raised the cry that they were
