MORE THAN 10000 IN
BATTLE OF THE MARINE

BOROEAUx.-The Battle Of
the Marine was the greatest in
history. On this battle line
alone more than 100000 men
were engaged, of whom $780,
600 were infantrymen, cavalry
men and artiIIerymen. The 9TH
ers were in the engineering, avi-
alton and special service corps.
The three armies commended by
the German Crown Prince on
this line numbered 100000 men.
1t would appear from these fig
ures, which are the War Office
estimates, that the Germans were
out numbered by approximately
40o, 900.

CHAPTER ~.
The Beautiful Tiqress.


Flora Desimone had been born in a
Calabrian peasants hut. and she had
rolled in the dust outside. yelling Wig
orously at all times. Specialists de-
clare that the reason for all great
singers coming from lowly origin is
found in this early development of the
throat. Parents of means employ
least to smother these infantile pro-
tests against being thrust inconsider-
ately into the turmoil of human be-
lngs. Flora yelled or slept, as the
case might be; her parents we're
equally Indifferent. They were too
buslly concerned with the getting Of
bread and wine. Moreover, Flora was
one among many. The gods are al
ways playing with the Calabrian pen
Ursula. heaving it up here or throwing
it down there; IL terremoto, the earth
quake, the terror. Here nature tink-
ers vicariously with souls; and she sell

Constant communion with death
makes for callosity OF feeling; and tire
Calabrians and the Sicilians are the
cruelest among the civilized peoples.
Flora was ruthless.
She lived amazingly well in the pre-
mier OF an apartment-hotel in the
Champs-Elysees In England and
America she had amassed a fortune.
Given the warm beauty Of the south

ment, the love of mischief, the natural
cruelty, the inordinate craving for at

nations with her affairs. And she new

woman's discrimination. And he had
gone to Flora Desimone's.
The carriage stopped before hand
some apartment house In the Avenue
de Wagram. The unknown got out,
gave the driver his fare, and rang the
conclerge's bell. The sleepy guardian
opened the door, touched his gold
braided cap in recognition, and led the
way to the small electric lift. The
young woman entered and familiarly
pushed the button. The apartment in
which she lived was on the second
floor; and there was luxury every
where, but luxury subdued and
charmed by taste.
She threw aside her hat and wraps
with that manner of inconsequence
which distinguishes the artistic tenn
permanent from the thrifty one, and
passed on into the coy dining room.
The maid had arranged some sand
wiches and a bottle of light wine. She
ate and drank, while intermittent
smiles played across her merry face.
Having satisfied her hunger, she
opened her purse and extracted the
banknote. She smoothed 1t out and
laughed aloud.
"Oh, II only he had taken me for a
ride in the taxicab!" She dubbed
again with merriment.
Suddenly she sprang up, as If In
spired, and dashed into another room,
a study. She came back with pen and
ink, and with a celebrity that came of
long practice, drew five straight lines
across the faint violet face of the bank
note. Within these lines she made lit
tie dots at the top and bottom OF
stubby perpendicular strokes, and
strange interlineal hieroglyphics, and
sweeping curves, all of which would
have puzzled AN Psychologist If he
we're unused tothe ways of musicians.
Carefully she dried the composition,
and then put the note away. Some
day she would .confound him by re-
turning 1t.
A little later her fingers were NOV

has promoted agricultural depression,
low wages, unemployment and discon-
tent. "It is notorious" said a city Of
London barrister, that large areas of
land which might be with advantage
iarmed by desirable tenants willing to
pay a fair market rent are kept back
by owners, who either sit on the prop.
erty in the hope of being eventually
able to hatch higher price, or pre-
serve 1t for the purpose of game or
ornament for reasons of social pres
tige or sheer sporting instinct. The
extent of this retention of land is con-
clusively evidenced by the numerous
applications that flow in for every
farm that Is thrown upon the market
and by the frequent abortive endeav-
ors by actual or would-be small farm
ers to obtain at current market rate
new or additional land for agricultur-
al purposes" The evils of this state
of affairs are manifest. Not only are
many persons thus deprived of the
employment which otherwise they
would be enjoying, but this swelling Of
the ranks Of the unemployed, some Of
whom remain in the country and some
go to the cities, tends to diminish
wages, and, so far as farm products
are concerned, to increase prices.
Poverty, taxation, agriculture, unem-
ployment, housing, the whole economy
OF the social system, are affected by
The land problem.
Very "Soft" for Noble Duke.
The unnecessary burden which falls
upon industry by landlordism in the
form of mining royalties Is another
evil result. Mr.. Lloyd-George, the Lib
eral chancellor, estimated it at $40,-
100000 year. The average amount
of royalty on iron ore is 60 cents a
ton on every ton brought to the surf
ace. and Is cents on coal. This is paid
to landlords for mining royalties in
addition to ordinary leases or dead
rents" in British phrase. OF the coal
mines visited one example will suf-
fee. A coal mine operating company
fourteen years ago sank the mine at
an expense of s2,5OO,OOO, and, although
as yet no coal has been taken out, the
company has paid in mining royalties
to the duke of Newcastle more than
