BRITISH WOMAN WINS
HIGH MILITARY HONOR
Freed From Jail, She Builds
Hospital For Wounded.

London.-Though Britain flung her
into durance vile before the war, it Is
dotting it's cap to Miss Louisa Garrett
Anderson, who now holds authority
equal to that of major in the British
army. Her work has to do with great
things for the wounded.
She had been jailed for q suffrage
demonstration, and in the early weeks
Of the war she and the British gov
eminent felt mutually shy of one an
other. Her first hospital was opened
under French authority. ..
The shyness having been dispelled,
the war Office asked Miss Garrett An
derson to come home and make hos
pital In London. Out of her own re-
sourcefulness, experience and initia-
tive she is making her hospital. It
has 500 beds. It is to be in working
order in record time.
The family record is an extraordi-
nary one. Her mother, DR.. Elizabeth
Garrett Anderson, was one Of the first
of women doctors. She began her
medical studies in 1860, and though
the College Of Surgeons and the Col
lege of Physicians refused to admit
her to their examinations, she obtain
ed license to practice from the Soci-
sety of Apothecaries in 1865.
Paris had fewer prejudices than Lon
don, and, passing the medical exam
nations Of its university, she received
her M. D. degree. Later on, when
England realized that she was not to
be denied, honors were not lacking,
and her daughters degree Is London
one. After long career in London
DR.. Elizabeth Garrett Anderson re-
tired to her native town of Aldsburgh
and was elected mayor

SAYS WOMEN DRINK MORE.

Fight Against Liquor Stronger Except
With Them, Says Bonnet.
Philadelphia.-In an address at the
fiftieth anniversary celebration of the
National Temperance union ex-Con-
gresham William s. Bennett of New
York, after describing the progress
made by the foes of drink, said:
"The case of the girls and women
constitutes the one point in which there
has been retrogression. It is my OBJ
servation that there is much more
drinking among women than there was
twenty years ago. As men are giving
up the habit, women are drinking to a
greater extent than they used to do"
Mr.. Bennett said that in 1870 virtually
every state was under the influence of
the liquor interests, but that now only
two, one eastern and one western, are
so Influenced.
drinking has decreased in New
York. Now the men who refrain from
drinking at a banquet are in the MAORI
ty. Few men drink during their busi-
ness hours"

Girl, Given Away Because of Poverty,
Now Knows Parents.
Lacrosse, Wis.-Hazel West" if
teen-year-old girl, who was taken away
from Fred West. her foster father. by
Judge Brindley because he had neg
lected her, has found her mother in a
woman she has known all her life as
dear friend. Mrs. Fred Green, the
mother, appeared before Judge Brind-
ley and told the remarkable story Of
how she had given Hazel to the Vests
when she was baby because of her
inability to care for the baby.
A mysterious telephone call to the
Home of the Friendless, where Judge
Brindley placed Hazel, effected the re-
union of mother and daughter. The
message said that if Hazel would come
to one Of the downtown stores she
would be given heavy coat. Hazel
went downtown alone and did not
come back. Investigation revealed her
at the home Of Mrs. Green, who had
met her in the store and told her the
story of her parentage.
In explaining the case to the Judge
Mrs. Green said: II was the mother Of
another child when Hazel was born,
and we were too poor to care for both
Of them, and at Mrs. Vests urgent
plea let them take her.
"Not a week has passed since that
have not seen her. The Vests were
better. able to care for her than I, and
l have been happy in the thought that
she was being brought up in the right
way. But since Mrs. Vests death
have been worried, and now that she
has been taken away from West in
tend to keep her."
Mrs. Green is the wife Of railroad
engineer. Hazel's father is dead.

THE PRINCE OF WALES.

had refused it on the ground that the
princes military training had only just
begun. =
For second time the 1.-the and slen-
der subaltern stood before the great
field marshal. He had thrown himself
into his work with such enthusiasm
and patriotic fervor that now, after only
twelve weeks, he was fit and ready for
active service. He had been so report
ed by his commanding officer.
Earl Kitchener listened to what the
young man had to say. The British
war lord is stern and unbending, but
human. He knew the princes spirit
!; and talked with him as one soldier
with another, not from a personal but
from a national point Of view. It went
without saying that the prince was
eager to fight and would do his duty
just the same as any other officer, tax
Ing his chances Of being killed or
wounded with the rest.
That was not what was worrying
Kitchener. He would mourn If any
thing happened to the Prince of Wales,
but he knew that if the heir apparent
did get killed there were plenty of
other people to come to the throne Of
England. What concerned Lord Kitch-
ener was this:
If the Prince of Wales were taken
prisoner and held as hostage by the
Germans very serious embarrassment
miVhf ho oo,,on1 n thu olIioe ord &b.,r
plans for the final settlement of the
war would be gravely hampered. This
Earl Kitchener pointed out in his usual
direct and forcible manner, but the
young prince was not, to be denied,
and when he left the war Office it was
with the promise that he would be at
tached to Field Marshal French's staff
at the headquarters of the British ex-
peditionary force in France. On Nov.
16 the Prince of Wales crossed over
from Folkestone to Boulogne and pro-
ceeded at once to st. Omer, where the
headquarters staff was then located.
From that day till April 10, when the
Prince of Wales arrived in London
bearing dispatches from the British
commander in chief, he has regularly
performed the arduous and dangerous
duties Of dispatch rider.
The Prince Of Wales is a slightly
built and very high strung youth who
looks two or three years younger than
he really is. There is nothing in his
uniform to distinguish him from any
other staff officer.
Nearly four months elapsed from
the day the prince reported for duty
till Field Marshal French gave him
twenty-four hours leave This was
early in March, and instead Of spend
ing his time in the big white house in
which he lives the prince ordered his
car and, leaving the noncommissioned
officer behind, took his brother officer
and was on his way to Paris as fast
as his car could carry him.
On his arrival he went to an old
fashioned hotel in the Rue de Riyolf.
facing the Tuileries gardens, and sent
word Of his presence to the British
embassy in the Faubourg st. Honore.
When the Right Hon. Sir Francis Ber-
tie, the ambassador, heard about it he
at once wired over to Buckingham
palace. but the king and queen eti-
IDENTIFY decided not to interfere. So the
ambassador called upon the Prince of
Wales and took him round to lunch
with President Poincare.
