GEORGE SAND.

The great writer who called her
self George Sand, was born Aman-
tho Aurore Dupin. on July 5, 1904,
within a months of the marriage Of
her parents. Her father was SOL
der of Napoleon and a great scamp,
the son of an uIegitimate daughter
of the brilliant Maurice de Sake.
George Sands mother was the pref
ty daughter of peasant. She had,
therefore in her ancestry a king Of
Poland and an opera dancer. She
was at once cousin to Louis XVI and
to a peasant At an early age Am
antine was placed in a convent by her
aristocratic grandmother. When
her grandmother died she went to
live with her mother IL Paris. Here
she met Baron Casimir Dudevant and
married him In 1922. The marriage
turned out very unhappily and the
pair sought distraction in travel. It
was during a trip to Bordeau that
Amantine met the first of the many
men she was destined to- love- He
was Aureiien de Seze "a young mag
istrate. After nine years OF conjugal
infencity she informed her husband
one morning that she was tired of the
duphcity and demanded separate
maintenance in order that she might
live as she pleased. Her husband
readily acceded and Amantine decid-
ed to divide her life between Paris,
where she intended to write, and No
hant, her chateau. where resided her
children. It was in January, 1881,
that she began to live this sort Of life,
spending three wild months lin Paris,
and three months as dutiful house
keeper and mother. During the
course of her career she had ne less
than nine lovers who are all cele-
brated men in music and literature,
among them Chopin. She may have
had others who remained unknown.
She survived them all, dying at last
on June 8, 1876, at her native cha

GERMANS MAKE
AERIAL RAID ON
ENGLISH TOWN
Two Enemy Machines Are
Brought Down to Sea
In Flames.

London, July aided by misty
weather, from - to IA German air
raidefs early yesterday dropped
bombs on Harwich, seaport town in
Essex. Eleven persons were killed
and So injured.
The raiders were quickly driven off.
Two of the German machines were
brought down ablaze by British naval
aircraft and a third was damaged.
All the British airmen who engaged
the Germans emerged safely from
their fights.
An official statement issued early in
the day read:
A squadron OF some II to IA enc
my airplanes attacked Harwich from
northeasterly direction about 7:05
o'clock this morning. A number of
bombs were dropped and the latest
reports state that eight persons were
killed and % persons were injured.
Only slight material damage was
caused.
Fire was opened from the anti
aircraft defenses and the enemy's for
nation was broken although the
low-lying clouds rendered the visi-
bility very bad. The raiders also
were engaged by our own aircraft
from a neighbbring station.
After dropping their bombs the
ene1ny's squadron turned seward
without attempting to penetrate in
land. The whole raid only occupied
a few minutes.
Later In the day this official state
n1ent was issued:
The Vice Admiral at Dover reports
tina tnaval aircraft from Dunkirk in
tercepted the hostile squadron return
ing from England after the attack on
Harwich this morning. An engage
ment ensued at a considerable dis
lance from the Belgian coast. Two
hostile machines were brought down
in flames and q third was seen to
have been damaged.
Several other machines were at
tackled with indecisive results.
All our machines returned safely.
A later report increased the casual
ties to IL killed and 36 injured.
In beginning the attack the German
squadron travelled at great speed and
in close formation, heading first one
way and then another in an erratic
manner. It was a very misty morning.
and the German machines could be
distinguished only at intervals when
they appeared from behind cloud
banks Bombs were dropped in
rapid succession.
British airmen, operating under the
most adverse conditions, intercepted
the Germans and broke up their for
nation. Frustrated in their enter
prise, the Germans turned toward the
sea. Their retreat was marked by a
series OF duels with British aviators.
One British machine was seen TO en-
gage two Germans.
Anti-aircraft guns are believed to
have registered some hits, although
clouds prevented the gunners from
getting a clear view Of their tar
gets.

Immediately preceding its New York
engagement at the Lyceum Theater,
David Belasco will present his latest
production, ''Tiger Rose" a new play
of the great Northwest by willard
Mack
This play has been looked forward
TO with much interest, as it marks
the-feturn Of Mr.. Belasco to the field
of his earlier dramatic successes, such
as THE Girl Of the Golden West" and
other great scenic triumphs, follow
ing his comedy masterpieces.
1t is with the most promising ma
terial that the author is said to have
written a play of intensity, thrills,
color, and romance. and one that sus-
tsins the interest completely from the
first to~the last curtain. The story
centers around q French-Canadian
girl and q young American engineer
who are surrounded by typical and
well-drawn characters, while consid-
ersble impetus is given to the action
by the fact that that famous body of
men, the Canadian northwest mounted
police, figure prominently.
Mr.. Belasco has chosen a cast OF
rare excellence for the play, embrac-
ing as it does such distinguished
