condition OF the girl had been
brought to his attention by Mrs.
Mclean. Mr.. Mclean had objected
to the women's bureau maintaining
unnecessary espionage over her.
Chairman Gould said he did not pro-
pose at this time to open up an ex-
tensive investigation OF the police

Van winckle had specifically men-
toned in connection with the young
woman. white slavery" and de-

Mclean carried his complaint
about the treatment OF the girl, who
had never been under arrest, to
Mai. Pullman. He thought IL out
rageous and unbelievable that she
should have been taken from a pri-
vate room in a hospital by the po-
licewomen. He said Pullman ex-
pressed regret and the girl was re-
turned-to the hospital. Mr.. Mclean
said his qualifications to pass upon

AMIDST CURTAINS OF FIRE

Continually.

We came.at night upon a little vii
lage of Picardy and were chartered
in a big room Of the school, R. H. 8.
writes in the Manchester (England)
Guardian. The night was warm and
the sky spread like some fabric Of
deep violet spangled with ~glittering
silver. The windows shook and the
doors ratified and our heads we're
throbbing with the endless thudding
Of the guns. Was ever such a bonn
bardment? With a friend l climbed
the church tower. An owl beat out
suddenly, throwing a cloud of dust
from the ancient walls. Then the
very earth seeming to sway and
heave, the bell struck. We held on
desperately. Midnight. We reached
the top and looked eastward. The
lrlnges OF the night seemed on nre
dancing, shooting, tagging flames,
Spurts Of fire, curtains Of fire.
The next day, in a hellish cres-
Nndo, the din went on, and through
it all we heard the school children
begin the day with AYES, and we
watched them, in "St. Pierre nous a
donne les clefs du Paradis." All
through the night the bombardment
continued. 1t stopped suddenly
early the next morning when the
troops went over the top for the first
battle of the Somme.
