ENGLAND'S PART IN WAR
DOES NOT PLEASE FRANCE
(Continued from PAGE IL

"From England there have come
missionary catchwords on which we
have lived for months and which, af-:
ter benefiting us for moment, have
ended by doing us harm. Was it not
Lord Kitchener who evolved that for
mula so pregnant with hope but so
tardy in delivery: Our forces will
continue to expand INCREASINGLY
while those of the enemy will increas-
ingly diminish
Not Expressed in Private.
Hanotaux did not express this
criticism of England in private, or
behind England's back. He said it
in print, to England's face. Nor is
that all he said. "The English min
listers were prodigal of magnificent
phrases" he writes, "but their work
shops were idle
asked an Englishman why Eng
land still held only her 30-mile front,
why Kitchener's promise of more and
still more soldiers had not been made
good. His reply, in effect, was that
Kitchener himself had made good his
promise. He had raised the soldiers.
"There are three million soldiers
or thereabOuts in England" he said.
"But they are equipped with WOOD
EN- GUNS!" "
So admitted my English friend.
Many Lack Equipment.
There are men plenty" he went
on, "but they lack the necessary
equipment. They have uniforms, or
most of them have, but many lack
belts, knapsacks and the like. And
of the thousands and thousands of
recruits one sees drilling around Lon
don daily, very few have rifles. They
are using the sticks used before the
war in Ulster with other limitations
made since''
The French whole-heartedly admit
that England furnished the broom
which was largely instrumental in
sweeping German ships and German
commerce from the seas.
"But French ships have not been
idle either" they declare. I'VE have
kept the Austrian fleet cooped up all
winter and we have all we could
with the fleet in order directions
All we ask: HAS England, like our
selves, done ALL she is able to do "
No doubt France and England will
stand together without faltering
right on through to the end, but now
there is no doubt about it, more than
at any time since hostilities COM
menced, France is inclined to ask
England to get move on, to quit
squabbling at home and get into the
fight. For every hour the war is
prolonged means many lives snapped
off.
Not the least part of the resent
ment in France is caused by British
insularity. In England, as Georges
Clemenceau, the former prime min
lister, writes, after all Calais is only
Calais!'' Calais is in France, for
eign country. The measures taken
around London are an admission that
Calais and Boulogne may fall into
German hands. The French feel
that if England does her duty the
thing won't happen. p
So the French not only think, but
speak.

SYNOPSIS.

In the New York home of James Brood,
his son. Frederic, receives a wireless
from him. Frederic tells Lydia Des-
mond, his hancee, that the message an
nounces his fathers marriage, and orders
Mrs. Desmond, the housekeeper and
Lydia's mother, to prepare the house for
an immediate homecoming. Brood and
his bride arrive. She wins Frederic's lik-
ing at first meeting. Brood shows dislike
and yelled hostility to his son. Lydia and
Mrs. Brood met in the Jade-reom, where
Lydia works as Brood's secretary. Mrs.
Brood is startled by the appearance :. Of
RanJab, Brood's Hindu servant. She
makes changes In the household and gains
her husbands consent to send Mrs. Des-
mond and Lydia away. She faScinates
Frederic. She begins to fear Rantab In
his uncanny appearances and disappear
ances, and Frederic, remembering his
fathers East Indian stories and firm be-
lief In magic. fears unknown evil. Ran
1ab, performs feats of magic for Dawes
and Riggs. Frederic's father, Jealous, un-
Justly orders his son from the dinner table

He got up and began pacing the
floor. She leaned back in her chair,
deliberately giving him time to
straighten out his thoughts for him
self. Wiser than she knew herself to
be, she held back the warm, loving
words Of encouragement, Of gratitude,
OF belief.
But she was not prepared for the i'm
petuous appeal that followed. He
threw himself down beside her and
grasped her hands In his. His face
seemed suddenly old and haggard, his
eyes burned like Goals Of fire. Then, for
the first time, she had an inkling Of
the great struggle that had been going
on inside of him for weeks and weeks

he went on, almost arrogantly.
He was very much in earnest, but
alas, the fire, the passion of the i'm
Fortunate lover was missing. She
shrank back into the corner Of the
couch, staring at him with puzzled
eyes. Comprehension was slow in ar
irving. AS he hurried on with his
plea she began to see clearly; her
sound, level brain grasped the insig-
nificance OF this sudden decision on
his part.
There's no use waiting, dear. I'll
never be more capable of earning a
living than am right now. l can go

She had smiled sadly-it seemed to
him reprovingly. His cheek flushed.
What has put all this into your
head, Freddy, dear?" she asked
shrewdly.
His eyes wavered. 81 can't go on

"Cowardly?" he gasped, and then
the blood rushed to his face.

a moment and then went on reso-
lutely. II know just what it is that

CHAPTER XIII.
Two Women.

Frederic had the feeling that he
skunk to the telephone. The girl
handed the receiver to him and he
met her confident, untroubled gaze for
a second. Instead of returning to the
sitting-room where she could have
heard everything that he said, she
went into her own room down the hall
and closed the door, He was not con-
scious of any intention to temporize,
but 1t was significant that he did not
speak until the door closed behind
her. Afterwards he realized and was
ashamed
Almost the first words that Yvonne
uttered were of a nature to puzzle
and irritate him, although they bore
directly upon his own previously
formed resolution. Her voice, husky
and low, seemed strangely plaintive
and lifeless to him.
Have you and Lydia made any
plans for the afternoon" she inquired.
He made haste to declare their inten-
ton to attend concert. 81 am glad
you are going to do that" she went on.

next week? What has happened?"
Broods wife was regarding her
with narrowing eyes. "Oh, see now.
You think that my husband suspects
that Frederic is too deeply interested
In his beautiful stepmother, is that
not SO? Poof! 1t has nothing to do
with It," Her eyes were sullen, full
of resentment Low. She was collect
ing herself.
The girls eyes expressed the disdaiA
that suddenly took the place Of appre-
hension in her thoughts. A sharp re-
tort leaped to her lips, but she sup
pressed 1t.
"Mr. Brood does not like Frederic"
she said instead, and could have cut
out her tongue the instant the words
were uttered. Yvonne's eyes were gilt
tering with light that she had never
seen in them before. Afterwards she
described it to herself as baleful.

monotone. HE has hated him for
years-is not that SO? l am not the

may.
