Lawless Gangs Rob London
as $4,000 Constables, Entire
Police Force, Go on Strike
By Associated Press

London, Aug. 81. - Considerable
lawlessness marked the first night
passed by London without police pro-
lection. During the earlier hours Of
the morning there were some harm
less demonstrations, but later on the
thieves became active and daylight
found number of windows of jewer-
er's shops and other places of busi-
ness broken and considerable prop
erty stolen. t.
This was particularly true in such
centers as the Strand, Aldgate and
other busy streets, which usually are
SO well guarded that shopkeepers
leave their goods on view during the
night. Some of these places were
entirely without civilian police pro-
lection last night, $4,000 constables
having joined the strikers.
There were a few military police
about, including Americans, but they
devoted their attention entirely to
their own men, and, even If they
| had tried, would not have been able
to cope with the thieves, who gen.
orally worked in squads.

General Mangin has in his COM
mand some of he finest American
divisions, together with elite
French and colonial troops. The
fighting during the past 4S hours
has equalled in ferocfty anything as
yet seen during the war.
General Ludendorff, in conse-
quence, has thrown in the best
divisions he can muster. These are
Alpine regiments, Prussian guards
and picked Bavarian and Saxon
units.
Nevertheless the enemy had to
give way and the Franco American
forces have won half the plateau
between the scissors and the Coucy-
le-Chateau. The Soissons-Co and
the Soissons-Anizy-le-C Chateau roads
are threatened and the Germans are

Sandy of the Engine Room.

''The chief engineer, q Scot. &.
Certainly and always Passenger ship,
freighter, yacht, from here to Suez
and back again, the man IN charge of
the engine room probably is a Scot.
There is no special reason for it; it
just happens that way. There is the
old story, told with zest today by trav-
elers who will swear that they wit
messed the doings, of an American and
an Englishrnan who beguiled the time
away in Shanghai by waging goodly
sums on their odd achievements of
knowledge. The Englishman, of course
was behind in the game, but finally he
hit upon brilliant wager; he bet that
every ship making ready to sail that
day carried a Scot in the engine room.
So to every engine room door they went
and called Sandy" "Mac" And ev-
cry engine room gave it's reply. The
story must be as old as the steam en-
CINE. The bet could be won today.

man sat at his desk and transposed
the notes of her songs from his brain
to the stated paper on his desk.
He dotted in notes here and there,
making changes, adding a hint of
technique here and sense of rhythm
there. Each page as it f1uttered from
his pen held a dainty score of music
notes that a generation to come would
still be singing. They were exquisite
bits of melody, some for the voice and
others for the violin.
The old man pondered hour upon
hour as to the identity of the girl
whose voice gave to his listening ears
those wonderful notes.

girl in the room above had flung into
his soul snatches of melody that 1t

He wondered from whom she had
Inherited that gift of original herding
of notes.
"There has been music somewhere,
everywhere about her, and yet hardly
think she is conscious that she has
composed score or more Of wonder
full songs"
And because David Ward was a ro-
mantle old man, with a soul filed to
the brim with fantasy, he pondered on
a picturesque way in which to &C
quaint the girl with her own gift. He
had the songs for the voice bound in
one dainty volume, and those for the
violin in another.
And while the old man pondered
Mildred, too, was worrying her brain
and becoming wistful-eyed and trou-
bled.
IT just can't stand it any longer"
she told herself, tearfully. II must
make some money. Everyone else is
helping the soldiers, and I don't even
have five dollars extra a month to
help with"
That evening her song was sad; so
sad that David Ward swept moisture
from his eyes as the notes stopped
abruptly in the room above.
Something told him that sobS had
choked the songbird's notes.
An hour later, when the sad little
melody was down on paper, David's
door was flung open and his big
nephew bounded in, wonderful smile
Sn his face and his shoulders erect.
He was wearing khaki.

Mildred lifted q soft air as she
wound her great coils of coppery hair
about her small head. It framed her
oval face like FURNISHED braid of old
gold. Her eyes were wistful and her
song dropped, like a tiny bird that
fiutters YEARLY home to the nest.
Sometimes the quaint airs that Mil
dred sang were light and happy; then
again they told of a heavy heart that
longed for rest, and yet again there
was tremendous grandeur in her song,
as if some great emotion held her in
it's grip.
Mildred could not have repeated the
quaint airs that her heart fashioned
in her brain. They were little snatches
Of expression in song that were as
spontaneous as they were tuneful.
She did not realize that her notes
were herding themselves together in
dainty compositions that were full of
sentiment and harmony.
