each! a Beauty"

Il followed one of the soldiers. The
streets were deserted, and at each cor
ner sentries were posted. At one turn
ing 1 caught sight of confused mass
of soldiers and civilians. AT another
point 1 was forced to make my way
through an entire company of the 64th
Regiment amid sneering or insulting
tests 'Ach' You've trapped a beauty
they shouted to my conductor.
II was finally taken to court, where
several other girls and women were
assembled. We waited long time in
the humid cold preceding the dawn. 1
talked with the young girl alongside
me. She was chambermaid and in
formed me that most of the others
were servants removed from houses in
the Place de Tourcoing.
After an hour an officer on horse
back appeared and ordered to
march Surrounded by soldiers with
fixed bayonets, we marched away to
a big hall in which was hundreds OF
captives-girls. scarcely more than
children, women of all classes. We
were told that minors were to be
taken, but l saw a great many whom
/ knew were not over eighteen. and
others looked still younger.
Toward s in the morning we were
reformed into line. I got into line
with Mile de v. whom | knew: her
maid and the chambermaid with whom
il had chatted before. We decided to
stick together Fatigued by the weight
of the baggage had to carry, we
staggered along through the Rue Col
bert to the Place Catinat. where we
took the tram for the railroad station.
Parents relatives and friends were
gathered on the sidewalks anxiously
searching for their loved ones among
the crowd of slaves. The soldiers
would not let them come anyw here
near us, however. l was so cold and
tired I think l should have tainted
if we had had to walk any further.

CANADIAN HYPHENS.

We in the United States have in our German
American, lrish-American and other ~so-calle,
"hyphenized" population people who have turned
out to be fully loyal to the American flag in the
present crisis. This is as was to be expected. No
one can live in the United States for any length OF
time without being infected with the bacilli of
loyalty.
It's a different situation in Canada, however.
where the problem of the French-C Canadians is an
always present one. The province of Quebec is
largely composed of these robust and picturesque
citizens.
Somehow they have not taken well to the great
war, however. They have not enlisted in anything
like the proportion compared with population as
have Ontario and the western Canadian provinces.
Investigators of this peculiar condition have
come to the conclusion that the deep religious
sentiment of the French Canadians is at the bot
tom of their disinterestedness regarding the great
wal.
In their mind, France in recent decades has
become heretical. 1t wideIled the breach between
church and state and within only recent memory
placed onerous restrictions upon the clergy. All
this cut deeply into the heart of the devout
Canadians, and remarkable as it may
SEEM, they resent it sufficiently to refuse to be
in the fate of France.
There is prospect, however, that with the entry
# the United States into war arena, they may take
binders from their eyes and look upon it in
IN entirely different light. They may get to real
re that though the French government in the
may have fractured their ideas of justice to
he church, yet that has nothing to do with the
light of England for existence; and it is under
Ingland's flag that they find favor and justice.

FIGHT CRUMBLES
Patriotic Consideration of Crisis
to OveraWe House Contest.
Colombia Treaty One of Big
Issues at Extra Session.

Washington, March 10.-What
promised to be the bitterest house
organization fight of recent years
patriotic considerations.
While leaders today made partisan
claims as to how the body would be
shaped in the coming extra session,
they confessed that they will not check
vital business by political chickering's.
Republicans and Democrats alike
said it is far better to have a coalition
organization, if necessary to stand be-
fore the world in this crisis as a ma
ton divided from within.
Two Weeks Recess for Senate.
AS matters now stand the house has
one more Republican than Democrat,
with several independents holding the
balance of power. Both sides court
the favor of that power. And while
everything will be done to align these
men with one or the other great par
ty, it seemed likely today that Repub-
licanS and Democrats will shape their
organization course Jointly, should it
seem futile fight to obtain this
favor.
While house leaders are working
hard at the organization problem, the
senate has combinations and the
Colombian treaty as its chief business
in the special session. Leaders say
the treaty cannot be ratified at this
time, hence it may be that the senate
will have one or two weeks adjourn
ment before the extra session of the
whole congress cOnVeneS

Election Sensation Unearthed
by Prosecuting Attorney.

Votes i'm One Ward.

Chicago. March 10.=New evidence
population of the Eighteenth ward at
election times was revealed yesterday
at the office of States Attorney
Maclay Hoyne. From the Information
gathered, it is estimated that at least
1900 fraudulent votes were cast in
that ward in the recent aldermanIc

publican judge in the sixth precinct
illegally placed in ballot boxes, how
they were bought and other illegal
phases of the election. In his precinct
alone sixty-seven fraudulent votes
were known to have been cast.
Officials learned that it was COM
mon for precinct committeeman to
give orders to judges and clerks of
the elections, that the clerks canvass
after registration was omitted in some
cases and that the supervision over
registration was generally loose and
incompetent
Names of men not legal voters were
retained on lists on orders of political
bosses, it was asserted. Judges and
clerks were nearly all of the con-
trolling party in the ward, most of
them were ignorant of election laws
and did as they were told by the
bosses. Some of the judges were not
residents of the state and others were
not of age.

Under action by the governor to-
day. the veto will save the act and
compel commission firms to operate

The veto was the third exercised by
Governor Capper during the present
legislative session. Two weeks ago ne
vetoed the legislative enactment
which sought to compel the state pub
lie utilities commission to decide rate

fire ON SIGHT!
That's Orders to Men Manning
Merchantmen Guns.
Germany Has Decreed NJ
Warming VIII Be Given.

Washington. March 1O.-The mere
appearance of a German submarine or
its periscope in the presence of an
American armed merchantmen would
entitle that ship, according to state
department opinion today, to take
A-double l measures of protection on
presumption that the U-boat's purpose
was hostile. Under this ruling an
American armed merchantmen could
ment it is sighted, without being con-
sidered as taking aggressive action.
This view is based on Germany's de-
clared intention to sink on sight with
in certain zones all vessels, neutral as
well as belligerent, and whether pas
sengers vessels, freighters or CONTRA
band carriers. The United States was
said to stand fatty on its armed mer-
chantmert warning of March 81 last,
in which it definitely recognized the
right to prevent capture as part
of the right of self-protection" which
could be exercised either by flight or
resistance.
Denial by Germany of the old rule
of visit and search makes all it's u
boats actually hostile. Whether the
government will issue any general
rules for the guidance of America n
armed ship commanders, is uncertain
at present.
Opposition to such action has been
expressed on the ground that the stu
alton is now entirely clear, that in all
events, the action of the commander
must depend on his judgment and the
actual conditions prevailing and that
the government does not wish to take
any steps which might be construed
as a deliberately hostile act by Ger
many.
Nearer War Than Ever.
The consensus CT opinion in dip
Iomatic quarters today was that the
action of the United States in arming
its merchantmen would not change
the policies of the European neutral
nations However, diplomatic. repre-
sentatives of some of these nations
seemed anxious to secure all fnfor-
nation possible regarding the details
of the plans of the United States gov
eminent as to what will happen
should a submarine approach an arm
ed American merchantmen.
Virtually all agreed that in their
opinion the United States today was
nearer to war with Germany than at
any time within its history.
