Capt. Bradlee Strong Who
Has Become an Honored
Member of Frances
Foreign Legion

America was still a British possession.
Lord Francis was a very gay, lavish and
unsophisticated young man about town
Through his mother the young man was
heir to the magnificent estate of Deepdene
and also to the famous Hope diamond, that
jewel of rare beauty which has brought so
much unhaDpiness with its ownership.
Lord Francis fell desperately in love
with the beautiful American dancer, and
although it is said she was in no hurry TO
accept him he would not be satisfied until
she had become his wife. The highest
social position in England was attained at
a leap by the young American dancer, the
dau-ht"r Of a modest Pennsylvania dress
maker. The Dowager Duchess of New
castle, although deeply religious, was fas-
cinated by her sprightly American daugh.
terin-law and received her into her in
timacy. Other titled women showed them
selves very gracious to the American
dancer. Lord Francis was devoted to his
bride and gave her every luxury within
his power
May Yohe was the mistress of Inrdly
Deepdene, and she had also a town house
in London Her husband even gave her
the famous Hope diamond. This remark
able gem is said to be the finest example
of a blue diamond in existence.
Lord Francis Hope and May Yohe were
married in 1898 and lived together for
seven years. Then they began to drift
apart. 1t may have been the diamond but
her ladyship May Yohe was heard to ex-
press the opinion that she could not stand

couple was made up of wild dissipation in
the effort to forget. maudlin quarrels and
spasmodic repentance They wandered
6tfully between Asia and America,

BuenoS Aires they were married
Another trip to Japan followed. and May

that all her costly Hope jewels were
stolen or in pawn. Strong's broken
hearted mother rescued the Jewels. After

Auliffe. the pugilist, with whom she was
doing a vaudeville turn. was also rumoreG.
Strong during the same pe-iod figured
in many strange episodes. He lived in
China. Japan and the Orient. He was ar
rested in Shanghai, and then he was re-
ported to be living as a gambler at Macao,
a Portuguese colony that is the Monte
Carlo of the East.
From that life of obscurity and ILL
repute they have both emerged on the
stage Of war-she as a devoted nurse and
soldiers wife, he as a valiant soldier Of
the famous Foreign Legion.

Strong and May Yohe are making
atonement separately for their grievous
sins of the past.
In all the wonderful stories of human
Transformation produced by the great con-
fict there is none perhaps more remark
able than this The man, son of Mayor
OF New York, who was one of the city's
merchant princes, threw away social posi-
tion. the respect of his friends and army
rank in order to crafty an illicit attach
ment The woman, for the same cause,
deserted titled English husband, lost one
of the greatest collections of family jewels
in existence, lost the right to rule over
great historic English mansion, lost the
prospect of succeeding to a famous Eng
Iish duchy, lost, in fact, most of the things
that would make life delightful to a nor
NAL woman.
The two paid dearly for their passionate
escapade They learned what it meant to
outrage the laws of morality and to for
felt the respect of good society. They
ouarreIled again and again, and their be-
lated marriage was finally ended by d.
vorce Strong became an outcast and a
wanderer on the face of the earth, gam
bier in Asia, a brawler, a bad actor, dis
grace to his aged mother, to his family ana
his friends. MAY Yohe suffered no less on
her side. After having been a famous star
on the stage and then the wife of British
nobleman. she fell into the lowest rank OF
the theatrical profession, became per-
former in ten-cent vaudeville houses, was
an object of charity to the unfortunate
,eonIe among whom she was cast, and in
many WAYS learned to know that misery
which is the usual punishment for defying
the laws of God and man.
At the outbreak of the great war May
Yobe found herself in London. where
she was trying TO live down some OF the
obIbouv that had pursued her in Europe
and America as a result of her escapades.
noubtIess she still retained much of the
nbysical charm and fascination of manner
that had captivated so many men OF the
world The latest victim OF this charm
proyed to be no less a person than captain

married and deserted American charmer
and married her in his turn.
Under the command of General Louis

African possessions. He served with dis
tinction and received wounds which caused
him 10 be sent home from the front. Dur

people who surrounded her. One day with
out any explanation she took ship for
America and looked up her old Bohemian
friends.
During a trip to San Francisco she met
Putnam Bradlee Strong, who had already
shown a tendency to be gay. He was the
son of William L. Strong, a millionaire
New York banker, who was elected Mayor
Of New York on fusion ticket during a
very exciting election. Young Strong had
been captain in the famous SiXtyninth

during the Spanish-American war he Oh

and then went to the Philippines as

there and was wounded in action.

by the conduct of the sprightly American
actress whom they had received into their
circle.
Lord Francis Hope had been very
patient with his wife's capriciousness, but
this conduct was more than he could stand
and he obtained a divorce. Strong's
action cost him his commission in the army
and his only hope of maintaining a
respectable position in the community.

SWITZERLAND IS ANXIOUS TO HELP
 SOCIETY OF NATIONS

BERNIE, Switzerland, July 1S- Switzerland considers that it's his tory and it's democratic character make it obligatory upon the little republic to take up the problem of nations, according to President Call onder.
 In an address to Parliament at it's opening the President told the lawmakers that the Federal Council has asked Professor Max Huber to prepare a plan for a society of na- tions which will then be submitted to committee of experts, examined by them and finally presented to the Council and to Parliament for action.
 The Federal Council. the Presi- dent added, will do what is possible toward arbitration during the pres ent conflict, but only in case both groups of belligerents are in accord with such step. Such condition, the Swiss executive admits, is not easy of realization. each belligerent party estimating in turn that this or that moment is the right one. Nev- ertheless the Federal Council consid- CTS it its duty to neglect no step

COLLEGE FOR THE ORPHAN GIRLS HAS
 BEEN OPENED EAST

PHILADELPHIA, July 1S.- in- formally, but none the less joyous ly, Carson College for Orphan Girls has been opened in Flourtown, Pa. Thirty little girls form the first quota of pupils. Situated on the 400C-acre estate called Erdenhein, the home and school for orphan white girls" has an ideal location in the beautiful Whitemarsh Valley about four miles above the Northern extremity of Philadelphia. It is the gift of Robert Carson, prominent as a builder of railroads, whose will endowed the institution with a $5,- 000,000 fund.
 The beautifully built structures composing the college group have been planned with an eye to home like qualities. The benefactor of the college so disliked the institution suggestion that he even desired the girls to be dressed in clothing of varied design and material Nothing in the nature of a uniform will be permitted.

GREAT SUMS. IN
 FORM OF PENSIONS
 FOR GREAT BRITAIN

!. LONDON, July 1S.-Great Britain will have to pay $150,0O0,O00 a year in pensions if the war ends by next March, according to an estimate made by A. Bonar Law, Chancellor of the Exchequer. Sir Alfred W Watson, a Government actuary esti mates that( by 1930, the annual pen sion charges will have failed to $2OO, 100000 and that each succeed ing decade will show a reduction of $50,000,000 but that these pensions will not have entirely disappeared by 1870.
 15,000 cases of war disabled sol diers are reported each week to the Minister of Pensions. The total mum. Der of disabled British men on the list is now placed at 341,025 of which 2S per cent were cases of injury to the eyes or loss of sight resulting from wounds.
 Small industrial and memorial vii lages for disabled soldiers and sail ors are being established in different parts of Great Britain. At one of these near Moreton, Dorset, ten acres have been laid out as a mar ket garden and houses are to be erected for the wounded men.
