Further word from Rochester. Mimi,

encouraging word regarding the con-
dition of DR.. w. S. Devine, who under
went surgical operation at st. Mary's
hospital April II. The latest word is
to the effect that Dr. Devine is able to

his dinner was served to him.
Mrs. Devine who is at Rochester
with her husband and also i'll, still con-
tinues to suffer greatly from sinus in
lection on the left side. 1t has been
decided that no operation to remove
the tonsils will be performed until the
infection in the sinus is more nearly
overcome.
1t is thought here by friends who
knew of a similar experience Mrs.
Devine had two years ago, that the
sinus trouble was due to an abcessed
tooth.

 There is no lack of jewels for those who have the price and are willing to pay. Many beautiful pieces of jew. elry, the history of which Is not given by the dealer, but which experts say could only come from the wealth lest families of Russia, are finding their way into the market Enormous prices are being asked and promptly paid, while the cost of ordinary stones, diamonds for instance, has risen to unheard of heights. Many old English families also are selling off their jewels.
 Flowers and food for the elabor- ate entertainments which are begin ming to mark the appearance of the newly rich are commanding fancy s1.50 for a peach.
 Automobiles are very scarce and expensive in Britain. Some of them command as much as s10,000 to $15,- 900 and they are models of three and four years ago. while new machines are almost unobtainable. The maker of the most famous English car turns out only about 800 each year, and it is said he has already booked his en- tire output for this year and next

LONE C0SSACK CROSSED EUROPE
 TO GET HELP

Paris, July 21-(Associated Press)- A Cossack herdsman from the eastern corner of the Black Sea, in nigh astra- khan cap and faded long at,recently wandered into American Red Cross Headquarters in Paris. He had sold everything he owned in order to meet the expense of journey across Europe to tell the Red Cross that the Cos sacks of Kuban were dying of typhus
 He told his story to the Commisson- CT, who ordered an immediate inves.
 isation Major Edwin C. Dexter of Urbana, H., formerly head of the Montenegrin unit of the American Red Cross was sent to Kuban to re- port on conditions He found there were 100000 cases of typhus on the slopes of the Caucasus, and that throughout the Kuban district there was a lack of all drugs and medical supplies. Not only were the people dying of disease, but the wounded sol diers of the army engaged in frontier fighting were without dressing or an- aesthetics for even major operations. Not in the whole of Kuban was there a single ounce of ether or chloroform.
 As a result of these reports the American Red Cross has outfitted a ship to proceed to Kuban with com plete equipment for a o00-bed hospi- tai. 1,500 tons of drugs, and 1,5O0 tons of clothing. Ten Red Cross of hcers and 15 American Relief Admin stration workers make up the unit, which will establish a hospital and distribute the supplies, with the full iauthority of the de facto Government of the Kuban Republic.

 Secretary Daniels said today no part of the Pacific fleet, now enroute to the west coast, would be diverted to Mexican waters. adding that if addi- tional forces were needed they would be drawn from the Atlantic fleet.
 With a. view to recommending a definite policy by the United States toward Mexico, the House Committed on Rules tomorrow begins thorough nvestiga ton of the Mexican situation with Henry F. Fletcher, Ambassad or to Mexico as the first American wit ness.
 In making the announcement, Floor Leader Mondell said 1t would be an honest endeavor to develop exactly the circumstances in the case and not blood on the moon affair" He said it was the duty of Congress and the committee to let the people know what has occurred and what the sit uation Is.
 It may be significant that Major Gen. Joseph T. Dickman. who took the Third Army into Germany and returned yesterday on the Aquitania, has been assigned to command the Southern Department, with headquar- ters at San Antonio. Texas, which places the Mexican border situation in his hands.
 It was frankly admitted today that developments are awaited with grave concern. but as President Wilson was on the Tamesi incident came from the nthe Tamesi incident came from the White House.

Aus tria is given Is days in which to reply.
 The clauses were those dealing with reparation, finances, military provis- ions and a few minor items. The chief provision of the military terms is that Austria must not have larger army than 80. 900 men voluntarily en- listed, conscription being abolished As to reparation. the treaty provides Austria shall accept responsibility together with her allies, for the losses the allied powers and their nationals suffered throughout the war. Be- cause of Austria's limited resources, however. she is asked to undertake only to make compensations for dam age done to civilians and their prop erty, the requirements being similar to those of the German treaty.

WOODED AND WON HER WITH SONG
 AND HIS FIDDLE
But After Marriage She Called Him Grandpa and
 Grouch-Locked Out.

Having wooed his wife by lifting melodies on the violin and guitar, Maltby Leach, a prosperous Sherman farmer, testified in the superior court today that her love for him grew cold after they went to live at the family homestead in Sherman.
 Instead of listening with rapt at tention to the soulful selections her husband played, Elizabeth Leach be- came very scornful of him, called him "granj5pa' and "grouch" and locked the door of her room against him. The term grandpa might be explained by the fact that Leach looks considerably older than his wife.
 The courtship, which was conduct ed in Dover Plains. N. Y, the home of Mrs. Leach, lasted three months and according to Leach's testimony. Tt was a case of love at first sight" She was very affectionate toward him, Leach said, and he looked forward to a happy married life.
 But there was a great difference after the couple settled down on the farm in Sherman. Mrs. Leach didn t like farm life, and was not very fond of her husbands father, who is 90 years old. She would not let the father-in-law sit at the same table for meals but insisted that he occupy a side able.
 Leach said his wife locked him out of the room they had formerly occu- pied together. When he protested she called him names and even theratened him with bodily harm.
 What did you do when she told you to get out of her room?" asked Leach's lawyer.
 What could do? I had to go of course" said Leach, who is much smaller than his wife.
 Mrs. Leach denies her husbands al- legations of cruelty and has an array of witnesses. The trial may last sev- eraa days The couple were married in 1901. Mrs. Leach's maiden name was Elizabeth Banks

 The attack upon unarmed Ameri- can sailors two weeks ago, however, has served to fire the indignation of Democrats and Republicans alike. At all times Leader Mondell has been a critic of President Wilson's Mexican policy. Recently at a conference of representatives of Sll Latin-American countries Speaker Gi.lett declared the situation in Mexico was a menace to the Western Hemisphere.
 T prophesied at the outset" said Mir. Mondell today that instead of bringing about a <olution of the mat
 ter, the whole attitude and policy of the administration was in the direc-
 ton of perpetual trouble. Happen
 ings since, and this most recent oc- currence, have Justified my pro- phecy."
 The investigation will be judicial
 In character. We are not proposing
 to run amuck on the Mexican or any other foreign situation. but it is time
 that the facts shall be more clearly developed and that some definite line of policy other than that of watch tul waiting should be adopted. There has len a fundamental mistake in the . matter. After we got into tn Iropean war there was no use of discussing Mexico for the time being.
 T am satisfied that conditions never will be better until we assume diff
 ferent attitude toward that coun- try.
 This may not. mean intervention. But we have been playing fast and
 loose. The whole policy has been
 long drawn out, ghastly mistake. Chairman Kahn of the House Mill tary Affairs Committee thinks there should be no further delay in deal ing sharply with the Mexican situa- ton. He thinks that the recent as- sault on American sailors at Tampico | was unwarrranted.
 Neither the Navy nor the State De- partment today received amy further | reports regarding the attack by the armed Mexicans upon the motor sail- | ing launch of the Cheyenne. It was assumed in official circles that the Carranza Government has taken prompt steps to apprehend the men | responsible for this affront to the American flag and outrage upon our uniformed forces.
 News published today of the mur-
 der by bandits of Theodore Patterson,
 a British subject, at Conception del | Ore, State of Zacatecas. adds to the l seriousness of the general Mexican
