"Do you wish this, Felice7"
"YQu know do not. You know what /

Her word counts for nothing. She is

He spoke with an information that brought
to Hugh Burton's mind voice silent for
him, for many years, and with it host of
memories, each with its emotional appeal.
But he hardened his heart. To admit de
feat now would be to deny the significance
of half ifetime-to put himself beneath
the heel of his enemy.
"You cannot have Felice. She must ac-
cept my judgment in this matter. I and
your father have an old score-one too big
to be settled by a girls infatuation."

"He must come all the way, if he come at

answer. It's time to end this interview"
A white fame of anger passed over Rob-
ert's face. He turned to Felice.
"Do you give me up?"
az shall never give you up"
"Youll wait for me?"
"I1l wait"

never lay eyes on her again. Do you under
stand?"
"You need fear nothing underhanded
from me-" Robert flashed back. "Felice
and do not have to meet If you've hated
all these years man you never see, I can
love in the same way"
Felice looked at her father. His trem-
bling hands and white face told her poign-
antly that he suffered in the prison from
which he issued his commands. He seemed
in these moments to have grown ten years
older
Robert held out his hand silently to
Felice. They stood for moment in com
munion from which her father felt his per-
feet exclusion. Robert bowed to him and
left the room.

She could not escape his tyranny in one
direction; but In another the way was
open.
Her resolution taken, she went one day
to the headquarters of an organization of
women who were working for a cause of
which she had heard much, but knew little.
She presented herself at the secretary's desk
and gave her name. The young woman
was instantly attentive. Recruits from
society circles were always welcome.
"I want to work for you," Felice said,
"and want to be trained to speak in pub
lie" g"7
The secretary regarded her attentively
Women came to her from all kinds of mo-
tives, restlessness, ambition, curiosity as to
the new ideas abroad in the world-a rare
minority from actual enthusiasm and de-
votion to the cause. Felice she placed in
the majority. "She has something" she
thought, that she wishes to forget"
"Do you know much about us and what
we are doing, Miss Burton?"
Felice confessed her ignorance.
"And you want to speak in public for us
after you're somewhat acquainted with
the subieCt?" the secretary said, a smile
fitting over her face. She had grave
doubts of Miss Burton fitness for the work,
but otherwise she was a most desirable ac-
QUESTION. A young and beautiful girl, with
her life before her, made magnetic medium
for the dissemination of the clubs ideals.
Too often the women who undertook the
work were disappointed people who had
failed of their natural destiny.

Felice said.
"You're very young to do that"

She would oppose her father In a direction
equally distasteful to him, yet she knew
that In doing so she was not acting the bet

Russian Troops in France.

The announcement yesterday that
Russian troops would be landed at Mar
seile came as complete surprise, not
only in this country, but apparently IN
Europe Not the slightest hint had been
given of an intention TO send forces
from Russia to the western fighting line
and the first intimation that such a
move was under way was the arrival
of number of transports in the har-
Dor of Marseille and the Decentralization
of troops of the czar's army, accom-
panied by an announcement by Gen,
Joffre calling upon the soldiers of
France to give the warmest welcome to
their Russian brothers in arms.
1t is noticeable that no mention is
made in any of the dispatches of the
number of the transports or any ap-
proximation of the number of the men
they carried. This is an obvious pre-
caution to prevent intimation of the
strength of the achievements from
reaching Germany, though doubtless as
result of espionage, which it is to be
assumed is conducted by all the bellig-
erents in enemy countries. Germany is
fully informed of the exact strength of
this Russian expedition.
Speculation at once arises as to the
significance of the move. Does it pre-
sage a French offensive movement, or
is it designed to repair the damage done
to the French ranks by the German
drive of the past two months at Yer
dunn Or is it in measure political
stratagem. to disclose the continued So
Iidaritv of the entente alliance. the dis
ruption of which has been predicted per-
sistentlv of late in dispatches of Ger
man origin9
1t is assumed that the transports
sailed from Archangel. although in some
of the dispatches facts are indicated to
strengthen the suggestion that the ex-
petition came. in fact, from Vladivos-
tok by the long route around the Ash.
attic coast through the Mediterranean.
If Archangel was the point of departure
the expedition might have sailed only
a short time ago, even allowing for the
probable detour around the British Is
lands and we'll out in the Atlantic to
avoid submarines, and thus it is possible
that the sending of Russian troops has
connection with the Verdun fighting.
If on the other hand these troops sailed
by the long route from Vladivostok it
is questionable whether this new move
of Russian forces is in any way con-
nected with the German offensive at
Nerdun Meanwhile, it is interesting to
note that notwithstanding Russia's long
fighting line and numerous points of
heavy activity she has men to spare to
send to France.

Passing of the British Crisis.

After several days of doubt, when it
seemed inevitable that the British
coalition government would break on
the question of compulsory enlistment,
or CONSUMPTION, an adjustment has been
effected whereby voluntary enlistments
will be continued for a period. with
CONSUMPTION in reserve, to be adopted II
necessary to fill the British ranks to
the needed point Thus a crisis has
passed which. if it had led to the dis
solution of the present ministry, would
have been most serious blow to Eng

government was formed soon after the
outbreak OF the war for the purpose of
eliminating party lines in the conduct
of national affairs in the face of for
eign enemy 1t has worked very well,
considering the long continued practice
of government by party IN England.
On the CONSUMPTION issue, however, there
have been apparently irreconcllabie dit
ferences Yet they have not been

vocates in parliament of conscrlptlon
have been David Lloyd George, one of
the most liberal of liberals. and Sir Ed
ward Carson and Lord Miner. who are
stout conservatives. Laborites and
unionists stood together in the opposl-
ton to compulsory service for married
men. In this crisis the deft manage
ment of Premier Asquith has been con
spieuously factor for the prevention
of an open break. During the past few
DAYS he has been keeping the situation
from reaching the point of rupture
by prolonging cabinet discussions and
securing postponements in commons.
Now the arrangement is for the holding
of secret session next Tuesday, at
which the exact status of British re
cruiting and field needs will be set forth,
for the information of members. This
is an unusual procedure. During mod
ern times the British parliament has al
WAYS held its sessions in the open.

The Fake-Auction Bill.

Assurances have been given to the
members of the Retail Merchants Asso-
citation that special effort is to be made
to secure the early passage of the bill
now pending in the House designed to
cure the evil of fake auctions in this
city. Washington has suffered from this
nuisance for a long period without any
practical relief possible through the ex-
isting laws. On the downtown streets
these so-called auctioneers have estab
lished themselves, selling all sorts Of
goods under pretense Of genuine bid
ding, goods Of a doubtful, nature and
vended unquestionably under the stimu
lus of collusive bidding. Various efforts
have been made to check these enter
prises, but the Commissioners have
found that they are unable, under the
laws as they stand, to afford relief. The
pending bill is designed to cure this de-
fciency, and, by putting all auctioneers
on license basis, with the Commits
sioners empowered to discriminate, to
effect the elimination of takers and
frauds.
The fake auction, as 1t Is practiced
here, is an imposition upon innocent
buyers and also upon regularly estab
lished retailers. Under pretense of com,
petitive bidding prices are forced up

whose faces are familiar to those who
closely watch the proceedings at these
places and who, in some instances, alter

device Of the fake auction is for "cap-
per" to get into noisy argument at the
door with the auctioneer over the quail
ity of goods offered for sale, thereby
drawing a crowd. 1t is alleged that ar
ticles for sale are misrepresented as to
their quality and value.
No injustice is likely under the
pending law. The Commissioners
can be relied upon to discriminate
equitably between the genuine auctions
and the fake schemes such as those for
the prevention Of which the legislation
is designed. Most of the victims of
these fake auctions are tourists and Wis

appointment he reached the Senate, and
his party at home approved. Mr.. Sulli-

A Democratic Asset.

Charles Sumner Bird of Massaehu
sets, the leading bull mooser of New
England. is naturally in favor of Theo
dore Roosevelt for President, and wants
to be sent as delegate to the repub-
hcan national convention so that he
may work for Mr.. Roosevelt's romina
ton by that body. This is taken from
his latest interview on the political sit
uation:
The $3.50 900 voters who left the re
publican organization in 1912 believed
it had outlived its usefulness-had lost
it's vision and its intimate contact with
the people They felt. and they were
largely right that the so-called big in
terests' had too large an influence in
shaping its policies. People have not
gotten over that idea. 1t is still in their
minds. There are enough voters of that
opinion to change the result next No
vember in half a dozen states, every
one of which is essential to republican
success. Now there must be broaden
ing of vision. a widening out of purpose,
Il more complete identity with the in
terestS of the common people.
The Chicago convention should mark
the first step in building up a party of
that type. Ii it does, You will hear no
more of the democratic party at Wash

does not, then it's Wilson again, and

the democratic party ought to be put
out of power "for generation to come"
Evidently he disapproyes of the whole
democratic record. But unless the re-
publieans consent to turn the trick un
der Mr.. Roosevelt's leadership, Mr.. Bird
and his friends, who by their bolt in
1912 put the democracy in power, will
bolt again, and continue it in power
"for a generation to come For if Mr.
Wilson is re elected and another demo-
cratic Congress chosen to support him,
the democracy will be likely to shake
down into a long lease of power, with
Mr. Wilson, like jackson, naming his
own successor.
Mr. Bird is not logical, but thoroughly

gram, a democratic asset which the re-
