MILLIONAIRE IS
ACCUSED By GIRL
Col. Charles Alexander of Providence
r. l., Charged With Niolat-
ING Mann Act.

CHICAGO. Dec. s. Col. Charles
Alexander, muIti-miIlionaire manu-
facturer Of Providence, r. l.. was ar
rested there Friday by operatives of
the department Of justice following
his indictment here on charges of
violating the Mann act.
The woman involved is Miss Jessie
+. Cope, a beautiful young woman,
formerly prominent in society in Los
Angeles. She is now living in Chi
cagO and is under close surveillance
by federal officials
Col. Alexander is married and Oc
cupies a prominent position In eastern
social and business circles.
According to a statement given out
today by Dist. Atty Charles F. Clyne,
Col. Alexander met Miss Cope at a
social affair in Los Angeles two years
ago and made violent love to her. He
gained her confidence, it is said, by
declaring he was about TO be divorced
from his wife and would then marry
her.
The indictment is based on numer-
Gus trips they are alleged to have
taken together.
1t was rumOred at the federal
building that there was another angle
TO the case, in that an indictment is
likely to be returned against Miss
Cope on charges of attempted extor
ton, it is said after the termination
of their relations and before the case
was taken up by the government Mr..
Clyne said he had no statement to
make regarding that phase of the af-
fair.

MAYBE so. AND YET

THE United States is pre-elninently
peace loving; it has neither agrees
sive designs nor entangling alliances;
it is unaffected by questions of the
balance of power in Europe or the

and earnest protestant against a bet

The United States is undoubtedly
peace loving. SO were the Belgians.
If declaration of war were left to the
people of a country, there would be
mighty few wars.
We have no aggressive designs If
we had positive assurance against all
others having aggressive designs on
what is ours, we might set sour battle

tangling alliances" But, the Monroe
doctrine is one grand promise Of all
the entanglements that one nation
can stand.
Uncle Sam has been unaffected by
questions of the balance of power in
Europe and the Orient largely be-
cause there was such balance. One
of his big worries should be as to
whether, after this war, there is to be
such a balance, or world domination
by the victors. A lot of superficial
excuses are floating on the surface.
but the fight is really for trade and

But the moment he is taken prisoner,
no matter whether he has just come
10 the front with every button shin

his carriage betrays detection, un-

OF the sorrowful figures of this war,

men, only the poor broken women
and the hungry children clinging to
their mothers skirts are more pitiful
than the prisoners. Not even the
dead on the battle touch one more.
Why is it? To be prisoner of war
means inaction at its worst, inaction
without rest, or interest or comfort
or entertainment. 1t is a state in
which men succumb easily to des-
pOndency and disease. Sanitation, ad-
vanced as it is, does not keep death
outside the fence of a detention camp.
