riette of Orleans, and Louis XIV of
France had conspired to wage war
against Holland and restore Roman
Catholicism in England.
The month following that of his re-.
turn to England. James left London with
this confidence, whose betrayal would
have wrecked his fathers throne and
his own chances of succession thereto.
While proceeding back to Rome he be.
came lost to history and today no one
knows what became of him.
All that has accounted for his fate
after he took leave. of his father, at the
British court, has been mere theory and
speculation. Some authorities believed
that he was followed and murdered by
some one whose black heart fostered
jealousy over the royal favor shown to
him while he was being entertained at
court; others that ono of his servants
assassinated him.
Was He ''The Man in the Iron Mask?
Shortly after his strange disappearance
there appeared at Naples q dissolute
swindler and impostor, who masqueraded
under the name OF Giacopo Studardo, and
there was q story that this adventurer
was de la Cloche But inasmuch as that
young man was a pious youth who had
every reason to serve his masters well,
who might look TO the west for throne,
or to the east for ecclesiastical honors,
this theory was absurd. Another was
that the adventurer Studardo was not de
la Cloche, after all. but the servant who
had assassinated him and had proceeded
for part of his journey under his dead
masters name.
Some have advanced the belief that
James de Ia Cloche was disposed OF by
no less parsonage than his own royal
father; that while beal1ng back TO Rome
the news Of the conspiracy TO recatholi-
cize England he had somewhere COM
mitted the indlscretion of conhding this
confidence to some one, as he had con.
hded his parentage tosthe Queen of Swe-
den
According to this theory, King Charles,
on hearing of his sons betrayal of his
trembled with the fear that
the story might get abroad. that the
Protestants IN England might again rise
in their bloody wrath. and that his head.
like his fathers might fall by the ak.
Consequently he gave the alarm TO his
great and good friend" Louis XIV. who
had James dc la Cloche arrested and
placed in prison. where he became that
mysterious parsonage, "The Man in the |
Iron Mask"

Perhaps the wise men at the head of
the army knew of the saying in the regi.
ment when they picked Turner for the
Job That saying is:
Wed follow Turner through hell"
Colonel Turner is heavy man, with
a shrewd head set on heavy neck. His
eyes, close together, are brown and
searching, with few wrinkles that make
his countenance pleasant to look upon.
Fifty years have grizzled what hair re-
mains on the sides of his head, but his
| closely cropped mustache is brown.
Colonel Turner was born in Philadel-
| phia, November 10, 1866, the son of John
| s. Turner, a Civil War veteran. He was
educated in the public schools, and in
| 1881 embarked in his business, that of
patent solicitor
His military career was begun at tho
bottom, in the ranks. He enlisted as q
private in Company l. I'd Regiment, April
l, 1888, and worked his way up by pro-
motion through the various grades-cor-
poral, sergeant, quartermaster sergeant,
first sergeant and second lieutenant. He
was elected captain of Company October
., 1899, eigheen months after he entered
the National Guard and served in the
Spanish-American War. At the close of
the war when the regiment was reorgan-
ized he was made major and later lieu.
tenant colonel On October 16, 1906, he
became colonel of the regiment.
Easygoing in appearance, Colonel Tur.
ner is a strict disciplinarlan, and withal
holds not only the respect of his men but
their utter devotion. He is like a father
to the boys"
II haven't any method in handling the
regiment" he said when asked if he had
a policy. II just treat the boys as If they
were human beings, I'm glad to hear
that they like me. like them"
Colonel Turner is fighter-not with a
chip on his shoulder, but ready to flare up
for his men. The troop train that brought
his regiment here was the third offered
by the railroads. The first two were not
fit for white men" and Colonel Turner
would not allow his soldiers to enter
them. His heart is full of concern for
them.
One night as the train was creeping
around tortuous curves the Colonel stood
at the door of one of the coaches, in
which some OF his men were outlined in
spectral highlights from the dim railroad
lanterns pressed into use when the gas
light failed. The soldiers, hot and tired,
were Transforming their seats into I'M
comfortable hunks. The Colonel thought
that he was alone on the swaying plat
form; he did not see another officer
standing in the shadow.
They're going to bed" he whispered to
himself. Poor fellows"
Colonel Turner was married July 0,
1889, shortly before he became captain.
His wife was Miss Dora Stahlberg. They
have two children-Mrs, Edna Price. who
is the mother of two children. and Mrs.
Sadie Euler Colonel and Mrs. Turner
live at 2459 North 10th street.

"GOD BLESS YOU"

An American in Mexico has been moved
to verse by the situation there He has
sent his poem to friend in New York,
who in turn sent 1t to the Sun, which
printed 1t. The author called his verses
God Bless YOU" because that is the name
which the American civilians and soldiers
in Mexico apply TO the American bullets
that the Mexicans are using. The poem
follows:
The slim little bullet that lays people low
Arrives by the shipload in old Mexico,
It's American made and American sold.
It's bought by the barter OF foodstuffs for
gold
And stamped on It's face as 1t drops from
the mold
Is 'Bless you. God bless you. God bless
you"
Carranza receives it on board, Vera Crns
And sends 1t wherever he thinks it's or use.
It's issued TO patriots, aye there's the rub,
Whose sweet soldaderas go out with a tub
And swap with Zapata and villa for grub
God bless you. God bless you, God bless
you.
zapata and villa and I. salazar
Pack them up TO the border, IL Isn't so far,
They strike In the night when It's dark as
the grave,
And they shoot up with Winchesters Though
we may raye)
The Land OF the Free and the Home OF the
God bless you. God bless you. God bless
YOU
Whereat Dr. Wilson, A. b., LII. D.,
Becomes Just as cross as a teacher can be,
He views with alarm" and he places the
blame"
on rslnister interests''-that Is his claim,
But he is the one who Is back of the game,
God bless you, God bless you, God blesz
you.
ON September the eighth, Nineteen Hun-
dred Fourteen,
He lifted the lid of the bullet maehineI
Then September the ninth OF the very same
year
He summoned to prayer the good folk faR
and near
For the peace of the world that he claims
to hold dear,
God bless you. God bless you. God blesa
you.
That made it all right though it's hard foe
10 see,
For he could have stopped the whole mess
by deeree.
Now mothers and children ana soldiers,

There Is war ia the East, but there's he'll
