MISS BURKE TELLS
HER WAR THRILLS
"why do you hate to dis7"

"hy W yOu nate 70 olt
''oh. mademoiselle. by dying now II
looks as II were deserving France" /"
replied the mortally wounded soldier.
This was one Of the thrilling incl
dents of the spirit of France which
Miss Kathleen Burke gave as one OF
her personal experiences in the war
when she spoke before the members
of the National Geographic Society in
the auditorium Of the New Masonic
Temple yesterday afternoon and eve
ming.
Miss Burke Is the honorary organ
izing secretary Of the Scottish Wom-
ems Hospitals. and has been one OF
the directing geniuses in British hos
pltal work for four and a half years,
not only on the French front, but in
the Balkans. She wears more decora-
ttons from the allied governments
than any other living woman.
One OF the most moving stories told
by Miss Burke last night was the ac-
count of the manner in which the
women Of Portsmouth. England, re-
ceived the news of the loss of thou
sand OF their loved ones In a marine
disaster. A ship had been sunk by
an enemy submarine, and the list OF
Portsmouth casualties was SO large
that the government announced the
quickest way of advising the relatives
would be to post the names OF the
survivors. Ten thousand women gath
cred to receive the news. They
waited all one day. all OF one night.
and into the afternoon of the second
day. Then the list was posted
eighty names out of more than 900!
For one tarribie nnonaent there was
an appalling silence, and then, moved
by the divine spirit of patriotism and
self-sacrifice. the speaker said, 10000
grief-stricken voices were lifted in
a mighty chorus of song. "Rule, Brit
tania." And those desolate women
marched through the streets Of the
historic seaport singing England's
national anthem.
Miss Burke paid high tribute to
the American Red Cross and to Amer
lean troops both on land and sea.

'I am not anxious for this position,
he said, but many of the members
say it is vitality necessary for the sue
cess of the chamber to change officers
at least every two years. President
Sinclair is a friend Of mine, and 1t is
with reluctance that have allowed
my name to be used. II any other
member will offer himself for the
presidency / will gladly withdraw in
his favor"
So far there have been no new NOM
nations for the first and second vice
prsidencies, Albert Schulteis and
