LADY .p'|l|GET WAS;
HEROINE At THE
CAPTURE OF USKUB
lBy United Press Leased wire. /,


Monastir. Nov. IA (DeIayed) -
The calm courage Of Lady Ralph
Paget in the face Of certain capture
of uskub, where she was later held
"a war prisoner. was told here today
by Edward Stuart, head Of the Amer
ican sanitary commission. who left
Nish two days before it fell. Deaf
to her husbands pleas, Lady Paget,
in charge OF a hospital at Uskub, re-
fused to quit.
Sir Ralph Paget," said Stuart,
was at Nish when he learned that
Uskub was about to fall. He stock
ed his automobile with provisions
and dashed over the rough roads to
uskub to save Lady Paget in charge
of the hospital there. He arrived
three hours before the Bulgarians
entered. The last Of the Serb SOL
diers and civilians were then fleeing.
He found Lady Paget directing the
care Of the wounded, and urged her
to fly without delay. She refused.
Tearfully, her husband begged her
to give up her task and come with
him. To this she only replied: i can
not leave them now when they most
need us.
so Sir Ralph kissed her goodbye
and returned to Nish."
Eleven American doctors remained,
with Lady Paget to aid her in the,
hospital.

london. Nov. I5.--Doubt still
shrouded today events surrounding
the Austrian torpedoing OF the Ital-
ian liner Ancona. though both Aus
tria and Italy had presented their
versions OF the affair. Austria main
tanned warning was given the liner
and sufficient time to debark her
passengers. She denied that she had
shelled departing lifeboats.
Italy, on the other hand. claimed
the submarine fred at the Ancona
without warning and continued this
course even to the extent Of killing or
wounding passengers who sought re-
fuge In the llfeboats. The submar-
Inc crew jeercd at the panic stricken
refugees. according to the Italians.
Az the same time the Rome emf
grant Office gave figures to clear up
the conflicting stories as to casual
ties. saying nine out Of ten Americans
aboard perished. and that only 209
persons of total OF 507 aboard were
saved.
Austria positively asserts that not
a shot was fred until after the warn
Ing to stop had been ignored and a
desperate attempt was being made to
escape. and that after the Ancona
had been overhauled As minutes
were given to allow the crew and
passengers TO debark.
Only when the submarine sighted
another vessel coming up did she
hurl the final torpedo.
Many lifeboats, said the Austrian
statement. remained unoccupied.

Earet Plumes.

The story m from India that
some provinces in that country are
breeding egrets In captivity, and find
1t possible to get four crops Of plumes
a year without injury to the bird. The
four-crop section Of the tale sounds
too good to be true. The rest is plau-
sible enough. Men have domesticated
the ostrich, raised the black fox In cap
tivity and even started breeding
skunks for their skins. Why should
egrets hope to be immune? The time
may not be distant when paradise
birds also will be reared in captivity,
Just as p%heasants and p~eacocks are
now. If women insist on having
tlumes, plumes they will get-but not
by the old, fiendish method which muir
dered the mother bird and starved her
nestlings for the sake of a handful OF
blood-stained feathers. That piece OF
barbarism is gone forever, SO far as
America is concerned, and 1t owes Its
departure to a section of the Under
wood tariff law which even Mr.. Aldricr
would hardly try to repeal.

Healthy Baby Smiles.

An interesting mental process with
physical manifestation which Is found
in every healthy baby is smiling. 1t
Is a remarkably early one. too. and a
child Of a month old will often show
a distinctly pleased smile when its
little face is patted or it is tickled.
At first the smile spreads very slowly
over the tiny features. then. as time
passes, flashes up on the face and dies
away again with equal celebrity, and by
the time the first three months are
past is accompanied often enough by
little chuckles Of glee.
But laughter comes later. often
much later, and many children never
really laugh until they are a year old,
or even more. 1t is, indeed. very rare
to hear laughter before the first six
months are accomplished. and when II
is heard 1t should be regarded as q
symptom Of unusual intelligence, may
be gratifying to a mothers pride. but
most certainly not to be excited OF
provoked.

WHEN Is A MAN DRUNK?

Judicial authority In Topeka has
ruled that a man is drunk If a police
man can detect the odor Of liquor on
his breath. II. in addition. he talks
and laughs boisterously he is drunk
and disorderly and guilty of a breach
of the peace. If this standard were ap-
plied to the city of New York 1t is es-
timated that 100000 people would be
arrested as drunk and ~disorderly
ver day. In Chicago the number
would be 400, 900; In Philadelphia. 300.-
900. The claim Of the ~liquorites that
Topeka has a high percentage OF
drunkenness will not hold water-or
any other kind Of liquid.
In this connection 1t may be noted
that Topeka, with a population of A..
i0a, has 20 poll: ,men. The average
for 20 American saloon-infested cities
with a population Of $4,000 to $4,000
Is 46 policemen.

Apt Quotation.

Shakespearian quotations are In
great favor with Mr.. Joseph H. Choate,
but he uses them only when they are
opposite. A hit which he scored IN
the Cesnola trial is illustrative of this.
Clarence Cook, the art critic, mad
given testimony unfavorable to Gen.
eral Cesnola, whom Mr.. Choate was
defending. Something was developed
on the cross-examination that materi'
ally weakened the statements made
by the witness. w%hereupon Mr.. Choate
turned, his countenance expressive
of well-assumed indignation, and
pointing his finger at Mr.. Cook. said
dramatically: .
False, feeting. perjured Clarence!'
