Then out of the red haze of war
returned friend of her childhood
an English captain terribly wounded
while leading his men in a charge on,
German trench. The big, pathetic
hero met the sparkling little artistic
and their strange romance began.
"a woman with a career" said
Miss Teyte after news of the engage
ment, which she had intended to keep
a secret, leaked out, seldom makes
good wife in the accepted sense of
the word.
st is different in this case, for the
captain to whom am engaged suffer-
ed for his country, and shall be more
like mother to him. Every woman
should have child. have none, and
so my future husband will be my
child. To achieve happiness in mar
ried life ore of the two parties must
always be dependent upon the other.
! am too rebeIlious by nature to be
the dependent one, so expect to find
my happiness by having someone de-
pendent upon me.
NO." she said emphatically when
asked what her new name would be,
Il cannot tell you the name of my
fiance That at least is to remain a
secret until we are married. We shall
be married in England very quietly,
and shortly before the marriage takes
place Americans will know the time,
the place and the man.

different ways and did not meet for
years. Not until after he had been
injured, in the service of our king and
country, did ! think of marrying the
captain!"
Miss Teyte divorced her French

months ago.
There are plenty of precedents for
her action in choosing a manned sol

CHANCELLOR is
SURE OF VICTORY
Rsthmann- Hollweg Declares That Eng
lands Strength Has Reached
It's Limit.

AMSTERDAM, Nov. 13.-Chancel-
Tor Won Bethmann- Hollweg expressed
the conviction that Germany was GER
tain of final victory in his speech before
the Reichstag committee, according to
reports of the session published here.
The chancellor is quoted as saying:
England and France III 1915 guaran-
teed to Russia territorial rule over Con
stantinople, the Bosphorus and the west
ern shores of the Dardanelles with its
hinterland, while Asia Minor was to be
divided among the members of the en-
tente. The annexation intentions of our
enemies also include Alsaee-Lorraine,
which the League of Peace is to guar
antee them. Such policy of course can
not form q basis for an effective peace
union. Germany is ready at all times to
join union of the peoples and even to
place herself at the head of such a union
TO restrain disturber of the peace. Not
in the shadow of Prussan militarism
did the world live before the war, but in
the shadow of policy of isolation
which was TO keep Germany down.
Against this policy, whether it ap-
pears automatically as an encirclement,
militarily as a war of destruction or
economically as a world boycott, we,
from the beginning, were on the de-
fensive. The German people wage this
war as q defensive war for the safety of
its national existence, for its free de-
velopment.
The enemy obstinately wills to war
with the calling up of military material
and auxiliary forces from all parts of
the world. These efforts harden our re-
SiStanee 70 still greater discrimination
Whatever England can still bring up of
strength - and England S command of
strength has its limit is predestined
TO failure before our will to live. This
will is unconquerable and we await the
enemy's recognition of this, confident
that this recognition must come.
