Little Talks by
Beatrice Fairfax

The other day group of profes.
sional women weer discussing Lady
Randolph Churchill and her thirt
marriage to a young Englishmar
named Porch.
And one of them, a physician, said
IF her door bell were at the mercy
of patients, like mine, all night long,
she would not be marrying again at
siXty-five."
And the miniature painter said:
Nonsense, being up all night with
sick folk is velvet compared to my
job No woman ever has miniature
painted ecept Xto look young and
lovely, and they never stat least
10 me-till they are forty-five."
She sighed, passed a thin hand
over a haggard brow and said: I've
handed over every shred of youth
and-never had any beauty-well,
we'n call it appearance, to my
sitters."
The woman who had written plays
groaned: "Ungrateful women, neither
of you knows when you're we'll off.
The most aging thing on earth is
writing plays. You have to contend
with the manager, the actors, the
critics, and if theer is anything left
to You or your play-the public.
Lady Randolph Churchill never
wrote play or she wouldn't be mar
rying third time"
The woman who wrote short
stories smiled with deadly superb
ority: Amateurs in affliction, all of
you; the acme of woe is being told
how to write story by man who
would starve if he had to write one
himself"
Someone else said Lady Randolph
had nursed soldiers during the Boer

Harry Hunter testified that he
was an eye witness tO~the tragedy
that occurred at Third avenue and
Forty-fifth street, Moline, last
June and which resulted in the
death of Gust Johnson. Hunter said
the train was travelling faster than
the maximum rate set by city ordi-
nances, six miles an hour. The

ALL NIGHT KILLING AND PILLAGING

CRIMES HERETOFORE UNREVEALED

Arrived at the Place des Tilleuis
the women and children were sep
arated from the men. Haphazard,
the soldiers picked out thirty or
forty men and shot them down in
cold blood.
And all the while. day and night,
in the flaming streets the piIIage
and the murder went on. The man
who described it all to me had
vivid memory Of a tall, red-headed
soldier who was particularly con-
spicuOus because of the ferocity
with which he welded the ak and

Bortmeerbeek,l near Malfnes. Mr..
Whitlock says that every time the
German army was thrown back
upon it, they burned 40 houses.
At Dinant, Mr.. Whitlock de-
clares:
Women and children were forced
to stand by and witness the murder
OF husbands and fathers.
"One woman, Nine. Amin, who
had given birth to a child three
days before, was borne forth on
mattress by German soldiers, who
said they would compel her to look
on while they shot her husband,
but her cries and supplications fin
ally moved the soldiers to spare
the husbands life.

Describing heretofore unreyealed

United States minister to Belgium,
indicates the Prussian horrors
were conducted with Prussian eff
cheney as part Of the plan of cam
paign Mr. WhitlOCk was in Bel
GUM when kUltur overwhelmed the
land.
Writing in Everybody's magazine
for May, he tells how carefully or
ganized barbarities followed in the
wake OF the German drive, being
especially crl4 after each German
defeat.
Picturing what occurred when the
French resisted German attempt
to bridge the Mouse on Aug. %,
1914. Mr.. Whitlock says:
People were held there, evidently
as d sort OF screen, while the Ger
mans began to construct a tenn
porary bridge over the river
The Germans sent citizen of
Dinant. one OF the prisoners, in a
boat across the river to inform the
French that unless they ceased 1ir-
ing the Civilians would be shot.
But a few stray bullets still sped
across the river.
The prisoners were massed to-
gether-nearly ninety of them, old
men and young, girls and boys,
little children and babies in their
mothers arms A platoon was
called Mp, the colonel in command
gave the word to fire, and the gray
soldiers in cold blood shot down
those 80 persons as they stood
huddled there together.
Among them were IL children
under the ag OF six years, six OF
them little babies whose mothers,
as they stood up TO face their pitt
less murders, held them in their
arms"
The fate OF the town OF Andenne,
before the war a place Of $500
people, is cited by Mr., Whitlock as
an example OF what happened
when the Germans were thrown
hack in an attempt to cross the
Mouse on a temporary bridge.
