 ENORMOUS SALARY

Ten years ago May Sutton, of Pasa- dena, Cal, was ranked as the world S champion woman tennis player. Today she is still the proud possessor of that coveted honor. However, she is no longer May Sutton. In 1912 the famous Californian married T. c. Bundy, former national champion in doubles. Inactivity following her marriage did not deprive her of the snap and punch that made her a world-beater on the courts.
 May Sutton Bundy, recently emerged from an ''acid test" that shattered for all time the thought, entertained by some critics, that she had lost her game. Mrs. Bundy came out of retirement to meet the tennis sensation of 1915. Miss Mola B1urstedt of Norway, and successfully defended the tennis prestige of the U.

guilty OF indiscretions which untitled

cerned Sullivan's alleged participa-
tlon III contracts on the island, but no
evidence was found that he had
proflted
Sullivan had been a lawyer for
JACK Rose, one Of the gamblers in
the R0senthal murder case. His an
pointment generally was credited to
FORMER Secretary Bryan, who in look
ing for place for him wrote Receiv-

TO SEE END OF WAR

DO Not Want. Another Winter.

Ecrlin, May 4.---DeSpite an un-
questioned strong undercurrent Of
peace talk here, officials resent the in
timation carried in recent Washing
ton dispatch that Chancellor Beth
mann-iIollweg had asked Ambassa-
dor Gerard to cancel his vacation
plans and return to America to trans
nit peace offers from Germany
There is a general feeling that the
war ought to end by fall, some be-
lieve by November, and the impress
sion prevails that all belligerents are
anxious to avoid another winter cam
paign.
Some knowledge Of this feeling
reached Washington, inspiring the
latest peace story. Germany, it is
learned, has protested to the State
Department against some leak that
caused circulation OF the stories.

they do not appear to see way out
now. However, he added, that peace
may come spontaneously, as the war
was started. lie stated that a great
victory by one side or the other prob
ably would be the deciding point.
Mr.. Page insisted that the warning

Charlotte. "What is true Of individ-
uals is true likewise Of nations. The
great war and the spirit OF unrest and
strife that Is so widely prevalent
throughout the world are but the
physical results OF the universal
thought Of sefishness, greed, vanity
and hatred in the minds Of the race
in this age In which we live and the
seat Of this thought is within sex

to understand the sex-psychology Of
the Bible. This, and this alone, will
diaarm the nations and give the world
