This faculty of feminine intuition now
being put to such an unusual test has been
the subject of scientific discussion for
decades. Knowing that It did exist. that
woman had the practical monopoly OF 1t,
that its processes we're as swift as light

that barred out all theory of condolences,
scientists at last decided that its causes and
origin we're worth looking into.
The late Professor Munsterberg. Of Har.

In man, Munsterberg argued.

French psychologist, agreed with Munster

~ NE afternoon not long ago a comedy,
bright-eyed, young woman in the
midnight blue skirt and coat, brass
buttons and fatigue cap of the Woman's
Police Reserve, entered a car on one of
the lines Of New York City. 1t was a

Rent Is a serious factor in every metro
politan dweller's life. But to women II is
an acute cause Of unrest, protest. Of OBJ
servation. An uptown housewife missed
the woman Of the front ground floor fat
OF the modest house In which they lived.
A month later she met her former neigh
Dor downtown and asked where she was
living. The woman, who was dressed
simply, mentioned one OF the exclusive
portions OF the city.
Come to see me-" she said You'd
love my. new home"
The former neighbor called at the apart
ment house. As her former neighbor had
said, she did love the wide view of the
river, the impressive court, the sunshine
pervaded rooms. the everywhere apparent
luxury. AS she went downstairs she asked
to see the superintendent. She inquired
the rental of the apartments on the floor
she had left.
Five hundred a month" answered the
superintendent.
More investigation connected with the
house service. In the apartment she had
left was run private Joker game. "A big
game three dollars entrance and fifty dol
lars in the kitty" grinned the porter. I've

RULES WITH IRON HAND
Takes Revolution From Ham,

Full Support.
Special cable Despatch TO THE Sus.
CopyriGht. 1918: all rights reserved.

LONDON, Dec. 4-One Of the most re-
markable stories of the German revo-
luton centres about a man named
Heise, formerly boatswain's mate on
submarine, who became dictator of the
Hamburg district, according to des-
patches received here from The Hague.
The purpose Of the movement Is to
establish an independent republic Of
the Lower Elbe. extending from west
Of Bremen to east Of Lubbock and
southward TO the junction of the rail-
ways from Hamburg and Kiel to Ber-
lin.
The present situation came about in
a curious way. Early IN November
there was a large meeting in Ham,
burg. mostly of marine men. who
listened impatiently to the speeches Of
professional haranguers. Suddenly a
man in sailors uniform elbowed his
way out OF the mob, climbed the
rickety platform and in a loud voice
demanded attention.
You don't know what you want"
he said. You are listening TO use
less pack of demagogues and tub
thumpers. III tell you what you
want, you should elect one of your
selves to lead YOU: now 20 and choose
one"
When little later Heise asked
again If they intended to choose some
one there was a roar of assent and
cries OF you've elected yourself" ."
Heise proceeded to establish himself
in offices which he seized and with the
aid OF a fleet of armored cars kept per-
feet order in the city.
The election committee presented
Heise with a list OF questions. which
he duly answered, but at the same
time explained that II he was to be
master he would be absolute master
and would impose an iron discipline.
When he was firmly established in the
dictatorship Heise proposed scheme
for the establishment Of Hansa re-
public completely independent of Ber-
lin.
Toward the end Of November he sent
q delegation TO Holland TO ask the
recognition and support OF the Allies
for the Republic OF the Lower Elbe.

COPENHAGEN, Dec. 4.-The
German Crown Princes last
proclamation, announcing that his
resignation from his command was
necessitated by the Emperor's
resignation and thanking the
troops for their heroism and self
sacrifice, is published to-day by the
TagiiSche Rundschau of Berlin.
In this proclamation Frederick
William, who is now interned on
the island of Wieringen, having
fled to Holland, says:
"My army group is unvan-
quished by arms. Hunger and
bitter need conquered US. We can
quit the soil of France proud and
with heads erect. Your shield,
your honor as soldiers, are un-
spotted.
deeply moved, I separated
from you, bending my head for
your mighty exploits-exploits
which history will relate to the
coming generations with indelible
characters. Be true to your
leaders as before. God be with
you and our fatherland."

Hundreds of thousands of
buildings will be erected on cheaply

loaned at low rates to farmers,
gardeners and country artisans;
houses will be built for workers,
employees and officials belonging
to sedentary occupations and trans
ferred to them on the payment of
a moderate portion of the actual
costs.

Empress Of Russia, of the murder OF
the entire Romanoff family by the

dlers. who insulted them shamefully.
The valet said on July II all the
members Of the family were taken to
a cellar of the convent and placed
against the wall and shot one after the
other. According to the story the
murderers granted the last request Of
the ex-Emperor Nicholas that his wife,
who was i'll. should die in his arms
According to the valet the Grand
Duchess Tatiana was only wounded by
the shots OF the rifiemen and was
killed by blows from their rifle butts.
All the bodies were burned in the out
