PROUD OF HER VIRGINIA BLOOD
Lady Astor Shows Spirit When Asked
Why She is Not Spending
Energies in L. S.

Plymouth. Nov. S.-"Do not think
for one minute l am ashamed Of my
Virginia blood" snapped Lady Aston
This afternoon at wonlan's meeting
when she was asked why she was
not spending her energies in Amer
lea, where there are so many social
evils as here.
"What do you want me to do?-
sit at home and hold my hands ?"
Lady Astor went on. Il married in
England, my interests for ten years
have been in Plymouth, every drop of
blood in my veins is Anglo-Saxon,
and | am proud of my American
birth"
Lady Astor's eyes flashed and she
gestured for moment. Resuming
rer speech, she declared women
would be the ones to bring about the
working OF the League of Nations.
"Men tell you they had good times
at the front" Lady Aston asserted.
'but l do not believe a mother with
a son there ever had a good time"
"Men have physical Cclrage," she
added, "but they often lack moral
courage, and that's the kind of cour-
age most needed today"
Answering another hombardment
of questions, Lady Aston said:

POLICE STRIKERS LOSE
Massachusetts Supreme Court Re-
fuses to Order Reinstatement

fuses to Order Reinstatement
Boston, Nov. 8.-The Supreme
Court denied yesterday the petition
of the officers Of the Boston Police
mems Unicn. who sought restora-
ticn to the positions from which
they were removed by Commits
sioner Edwin Curtis because OF
their sffiliation with the American
Federation Of Labor. The court
acted on the request of the former
policemen, headed by John F. Nc
Innis. president of the union, for
q writ Of mandamus to compel the
Commissioner to restore them.
Judge Carroll held that they were
not entitled to reinstatement be-
Cause they had failed to avail
themselves of remedies contained
in the anti-coercion act.
1t was the suspension of the -
officers CT the union by Commits
sioner Curtis that precipitated the
strike of policemen September 7.
The patrolmen were tried by the
Commissioner on charges that they
had violated departmental rule by
their union membership and activi-
ties and were found guilty. Sen
tcncc was withheld for time while
unicn members announced only
that any punishment of their lead
crs would be met by strike. With
in few hours of the union officers
suspension the other members of
THE union walked out.
Commissioner Curtis, through
counsel, contended that the petition
ers had no standing in court be-
cause they were not members of
the police force when they filed
their petition. They failed, he said.
to take advantage of their right to
demand review of the Commits
sionor's action under the anti-coer
zion act. Of 1918. Accordingly, he
held, the action of the Commits
sioncr became final and conclusive.
1t was On this ground that Judge
Carroll held the former patrolmen
were without redress.

Mr.. Allison has formed series of
four volumes, each giving in chrono-

The volume in hand is the second of
the four-a cartoon chronicle of the
war in it's second year. hundred
cartoons cover this period. wherein
Bulgaria enters the war, and Serbia
suffers the fate of Belgium, and Yer

activity is set out here in the unique
handwriting of Louis Raemaekers,
and, besides the main line itself, are
innumerable points of illumination in
condemnation of the Hun and IN eX-

toon is a page of explanatory or sup
Elementary text drawn from variety
of authoritative sources-the press,
the comments of diplomats, the
