England's Delay Cause of

when the allies and Germany were dick

When two men possessing strong

differ, one of them must eventually
retire.

lwritten for the United Press.


New York, Oct. l4.-The resignation
of Theophile Deleasse as minister of
foreign affairs of France, was almost
certainly due to the refusal of the
British and French governments to fol-
low his advice about the best way of
dealing with the Balkans. England s
foreign secretary Sir Edward Grey, was
given control of negotiations with the
Balkans. Grey's failure in these ne
gotiations was apparently Delcasse S
reason for no longer supporting the
Britisher s methods,
Delcasse always was strong advo'
cate of prepared diplomacy.
In the present instance preparedness
meant the dispatch of a large army, for
quick action, through Greece to check
the Teutons at the Serbian border, and
to overcome the Bulgarians. This army

course of the diplomatic battle at Sofia

laughing, "the loud speaking telephone,

mitter is so sensitive that it picks up
even a whisper, and the receiver is
placed back of those two megaphone

He was standing at a table, careful

thing and hiding the wire under car

Ito anyone. We don't know whom
to trust or suspect"
Elaine's car had stopped finally at
shop on Fifth avenue. She stepped
out and entered, leaving her chauffeur
to wait
AS she did so, Dan and Billy sided
along the crowded sidewalk.
Dan the Dude left Billy and Billy
surreptitiously drew from under his
coat half loaf of bread. With a
glance about, he dropped it into the
gutter close to the entrance to
Elaine's car. Then he withdrew a lit
tie distance.
When Elaine came out and ap-
preached her car, Billy, looking as
cold and forlorn as could be, shot for
ward. Pretending to spy the dirty
piece of bread in the gutter, he made
a dive for it, just as Elaine was about
to step into the car.
Elaine, surprised, drew back. Billy
picked up the piece of bread and with
! all the actions of having discovered a
treasure began to gnaw at it vora-
ciously
Shocked at the disgusting sight. she
tried to take the bread away from
him.
Il know it's dirty, miss" whimpered
Billy. but it's the first food I've seen
for four days.
Instantly Elaine was full of sym
pathy. She had taken the food
away. That would not suffice.
What's your name, little boy?" she
asked.
Billy" he replied, blubbering.
Where do you live?"
with me mother and father
they're sick-nothing to eat"
He was whimpering an address far
over on the East side.
Get into the car" Elaine directed.
"Gee-but this is SWELL" he cried
with no fake, this time.
On they went, through the tenement
canyons, lodging children and push
carts, stopping first at grocer's. then
at a butchers and a delicatessen
Finally the car stopped where Billy
directed. Billy hobbled out, followed
by Elaine and her chauffeur, his arms
piled high with provisions. She was
indeed a lovely Lady Bountiful as q
crowd of kids quickly surrounded the
car.
In tba meantime napO Mika apf
Kitty the Hawk had gone to a wretch
ed fiat. before which Billy stopped
Kitty sat on the bed, putting darB
circles under her eyes with a black
ened cork. She was very thin and
emaciated, but it was dissipation that
had done it. Dago Mike was CORE
spondingly poorly dressed.
He had paused beside the window
to look out. shes coming" he an
nounced finally.
Kitty hastily jumped into the rick
ETY. bed, while Mike took up crutcf
that was standing idly in a corner
She coughed resignedly and he limpeC
about, forlorn. They had assumed
their parts, which we're almost to th'
burlescue of poverty, when the doc
was pushed open and Billy burst in
followed by Elaine and the chauf
feur.
"Oh, ma-oh, pa" he cried, running
forward and kissing his pseudo pal
ents, as Elaine, overcome with sym
pathy, directed the chauffeur to la
the things on a shaky table.
Just then the door opened again
All were genuinely surprised this time
