One of the bellhops nicknamed her

cautiously. She was not city girl.

She tucked couple of large shell
pins into her side brads and looked
past Andys head absently.
The colonel expressed himself as
delighted over her aloolness. Even
TO the colonel she was aloof, and he
was owner of the st. Dimitri. She
gazed past his handsome head quite
as nonchalantly as she had past

Parade of Chalmers

Broadway, the blase, the sophfstf- cated, is not in the habit of paying at tention to anything ordinary in the shape of parades or processions,. but yesterday the extraordinary happened
 Down New York's gasoline row yes terday, and over its other prominent avenues there wended it's way stream of automobiles that made New Workers gasp with admiration. The procession consisted of 125 brand-new, handsome, snappy Chalmers Stx-40 cars. No wonder New York looked! S170 900 of automobiles in q few blocks. The movie men, with their usual en- terprise, were on the job, too.
 These machiney were part of a ship 1nent of 226 Chalmers Six-40's. It took 7e freight cars, in two trains, to bring this shipment from Detroit to New York rt was the largest single ship ment of high-grade motor cars that ever came into New York.
 The drivers of these cars were ChaI- raers dealers and owners, who couldn't t wait for the ordinary freight delivery, from many cities near New York. Among those present with bells on'' was Ralph W. Barnes, the local Chal- mers dealer.
 After the drive around the city, the entire string of cars crossed the Queensborough bridge and ran down to sDuer's Pavilion at Whitestone, Long Island, where 0 c1anbake was served. From White5tone MT. B6z1s-- 1----@ 1-- - -

COL. DESCLAUX

Perhaps the most direct disgrace which has befalIen any officer in the present war is that which involved the degradation and imprisonment of Col. Francis Desc1aux, whose name in France has become a synonym for the lowest iniquity. During the early part of the war Col. DescIaux was paymas- ter general of the French army, and was highly honored in military circles as a man who with a most brilliant future. Cupidity and the wi1es of a, siren brought about his downfall, and last March he was sentenced by a military court-martial to seven years solitary confinement after being con- victed the charge of stealing mili- tary stores. A short time ago he was taken from his lonely cell to be pub 1icly degraded, and, when this terrible ceremony was over, was led back to the cell which is to be his home for several years to come. Col. Desclaux was a faVorite among his comrades prior to the scandal which involved him in destruction. He was chief secretary to Joseph CaiIlaux when the latter was Minister of Finance, and had held other important posts before becoming paymaster general. It was charged that he had stolen large Quan- titles of military supplies, which he had sent to the house of his sweet heart and confederate, Mime. Beschoff- DdN1O' d AdSI11OHdO1e dTeSSInaker or Paris whose establishment was found to have been secretly financed by Ger mans. The trial was a cause celebre because of the military prominence and political connections of the ac- cused officer and the fame of the dressrnaker. Both were found guilty and the woman was sentenced to two years in prison. More than a ton of food supplies intended for the soldiers were found in the house of the dress maker. A domestic employed by the dressInaker, having spied upon her mistress, reported the matter to the police.

HUNIADES

The first European general to suc- cessful1y oppose the progress of the Turks in Europe was John Corvinus Huniades, the great Hungarian soldier, who died at Zem1in on this death, Sept. 4th, in 1456. Huniades was reputed to be the iI1egitimate son of Sigis- mond emperor of Germany. The Ottonans, having establish themselves in Constant1nop1e, set out to conquer all Europe, and for a time the fierce Asiatic warriors seemed bent on req Iizfng the ambition of MohaInmed II. -sto feed his horse with oats on the altar of St. Peters in Rome" MohaTn-
 med II. conquered large part of the Balkans and then undertook the sub jugation of Hungary and Austria In HAP Huniades won his first great vic tories over the Turks, and forced them to declare a truce. This was broken by King Ladis1as of Hungary, at the instigation of the Pope. and the King was defeated and killed. Huniades then became regent, and in 1456, shortly before his death, he defeated and hurled back the Mosle1ns from the walls of Belgrade, raising the siege and saving western Europe from the threatened Moslem peril.
