PARIS. Sept T.. The Figaro prints a
letter from DR.. Pierre Delbet. d profess

describing the passage of German
troops over the Grand NORM across a
small Trivate bridge belonging to his
mother. aged seventy. who was occu-
pying the house on the property at the
time.
The Germans arrived on SATURDAY,
September 5, about 10 a. m. Finding
the lublic bridges cut. they approached

must know, since she belonged to a doc

expel the majority Of them to America,
keeping only a healthy minority TO IN

the only means of producing strong
race.
The general said that all the reports
of French successes were untrue. The
allies were invariably defeated. and the
Germans would occupy Paris in two
davs. This sentiment was echoed by his
escort.
The troops seemed fresh and in ex-
celIent condition. The officers were
wearing new kid gloves and their horses
and equipment were good.
On the Monday following the whole
force retraced their steps in greater
haste than they came. This time the
general was less talkative but one OF
the troopers forming the escort. who
before was very attentive to the cook,
entered the kitchen. and said, mourn
fully. NO Paris, No Paris" and de-
parted.
Immediately on the heels of the Ger
mans came the British in hot pursuit.

resisting pursuers, even after such a

Discussing the rumors of a German

Just what might have happened is
hard to say, if a lady standing near
hadn't heard what Rosie said and

An hour later, after seeing Pietro at

the lady, who was very beautiful, by
the way, in her big automobile, to the
hospital, where the poor Sanity had
been taken the night before.
It was a wondering, curious little
Rosie, who followed her friend down
the long, cool hall to the ward where
the sick Sanity man lay. Timidly she
walked to the mans beside. He saw
her. He held out his hand. Rose
grabbed it and held it close and fast
in her own little hands.
