DEATH AND THE WOMAN
TO BE SEEN AT TRIANON

Isabel in the city refuses Mortimer.
Bruce, proposes and is accepted. The
couple decide to marry at once.
While Bruce is in the shaft of tho
Chilean mine, a dynamite charge i'm
prisons him. The American Consul cab
les the news to Isabel and Rawn. Later
a baby boy is born to Isabel.
After days in the shaft Bruce digs
himself free, but suffering has unbal-
apced his mind.
Isabel is finally forced to sell the
ranch to Carson. Through the insist
ence of her aunt and love for her boy,
she then marries Mortimer. Soon rich
vein of ore is struck on what was
Bruce's land.
Bruce regains his reason after five
years. He returns to find his home de-
serted and his holdings being worked.
Bruce, to save Isabel--agrees, at the
office meeting, to disappear. AS he
leaves Mortimers office he encounters
Slade, a former ranch hand, who tells
him all that has occurred in his abb
sence. Bruce determines to wreak VEN
geance. He returns to the office, locks
the men in, and demands his property.
Seeing their stocks falling, they at
tempt to coerce Andrews at the point
of gun. but he gains the upper hand
and they sign the release. Bruce again
possesses his property.
Isabel enters, Bruce steps forward
and husband and wife are united. Nor
timer goes into another room and
shot is heard.

AMONG CAPTURED

KEN. Russian Lapland. July 5.
Among the uniformed Bolsheviki cap
tured by the allied troops on the Muir
mansk railway front, where American
railway troops operated for several
months. was a woman, Olga Semenova
Petomtzeva, now serving as cook for
for a Canadian mess, who presented
the strange contrast of an Amazon who
cried over a baby's photograph.
Mrs. Petomtzeva, who is % years old,
was taken prisoner by Canadian troops
at Urosozero, when dressed in a Red
Guard uniform, trousers and all, and
with the Russian ammunition pouches
strung over her breasts.
She said she had left Petrograd on
April 4, to join her husband, who was
soldier in a Finnish regiment fighting
the allies on this front. For some time
she led the life of soldier, with her
husband. The latter escaped at Uro-
sozero.
Mrs. Petomtzeva broke down and
cried, say allied officers, when she was
questioned about scrap book she car
ried, in which she had pasted pictures.
cut from magazines, of many babies.
She said her own baby had died and
that she had no photograph of him,
and that she was trying to find in
the magazines picture that resembled
him.

, hard time trying to figure just how the
State Fair management can put up such
a large outlay of cash for two such
thrilliers as Lieutenant Locklear and
auto polo. They are both headliners.
This thrilling game was introduced to
Birmingham last year. when the State
Fair got going. but as the fair was al
lowed to run but two days on account of
the influenza epidemic. this most daring
of all games is still new, and has not
been seen by 90 per cent of the states
citizens.
The game is played in automobiles so
ing at high rate of speed. Cars crash
irto each other, rip off wheels, turn tur-
tie burying their drivers and games
participants beneath the debris. But the
w1eckage is cleared and the game goes
on until one side has registered two
goals 1t is positively the most sensa-
tional game ever attempted by any clique

The Problem of Ireland
By JOHN $. STEELE

would accept it or would abstain as they
are doing now from the British Parlia-
ment he replied that they would accept
it "as payment on account" and work
1t for what 1t was worth. In reply tc
another question he admitted frankly
that a successful dominion of IRELAND
probably would knock the bottom out OF
the Sim Fein movement for indepen-
dence
Practically the same view was ex-
pressed to me by one of the leaders OF
Belfast business who admitted that while
Ulster might insist on exclusion from
such settlement at first she would be
compelled by economic forces to fall in
line in less than five years.
These are the facts which lead me to
the conclusion that unless the British
government is both mad and blind the
Irish question is in a fair way for set
Element before long.

SIGHT OF BOCK'S BIER WOULD BE
 JOY FOR WIFE
Herman Book of Milford Tells Court He Is Nerv-
 ous Wreck.
CLAIMS SPOUSE MAY
 HAVE KILLED HIM
Testifies Mrs. Book Was
 Afraid or He Would Have Been Dead.

Tesufying in his action for a di- vorce this morning before, referee, Judge Robinson, in the superior court, Herman Antone Book of MfI- ford stated that he has become a ner- vous wreck as result of the unhappy home life caused by his wife Henrietta. Theresa Book.
 1911, his wife threw stove poker at him. On another occasion she brandished a bread knife and ex- claimed, 'I would kill you only for the consequences of the law" q would weep tears of joy at your bier. In June, 1911, Mrs. Book threatened to place dynamite under their home for the purpose of blowing her hus- band up.
 MT. Book stated that on his return from Europe in July, 1912, he pro- ceeded to the Book home where his wife demanded that he discharge one of the farm hands. Book refused, whereupon the wife grabbed Book, called their son, Walter, to bring a gun and shoot the husband if he moved.
 On another occasion she told the son in the presence of the father, I've will get his money if we have to croak him." MT. Book stated that their son, Walter, is now 16 years of age but has never been to school in his life except for three days at a kindergarten. The wife refuses to allow the boy to attend school or nlingIe with other children.
 One morning in September, 1918, when the mother was beating the son with her fists, Book tried to intercede for the boy and was told by his wife, T must get your badness out of WaIter.'' At breakfast one morn ing in March. 1912, Mrs. Book threw a coffee cup at her husband, break ing 1t on his pate. The broken pieces of the cup were produced in court.
 MT. Book Is Bavarian by birth and stated that on many occasions during the war his wife threatened to inform the Depart tment of Justice of false charges of disloyalty. She has informed him, T never married you for love but to get away from my mother"

LOOKING FOR
 EARLY PEACE
This Thought Has Seemed to Become General in
 Paris.

Paris, Feb. 24-(By the Associa ted Press) Present indications are that nothing regarding the responsibility for the war, beyond a declaration of general principles, will be included in the preliminary treaty of peace. The special commission considering the liability of either governments or in- dividuals to punishment has worked in great secrecy and has heard argu- 1nents on every side of the problem from experts in international law, but it is gathered that the only result that can be expected in time for incOr- poration in the peace treaty is an ex- pression of opinion on the general principles that may be applied to the cases so far considered.
 The atm osphere around the Peace Conference has changed remarkably in the last few days. The deliberation and caution which marked the pro ceedings of importance have given away. and even the most conservative delegates are being carried forward al a great pace. Talk of early peace has become general.
 President Wilson, before he left France, urged the American commis- sioners to spare no exertion to bring the conference to a conclusion. but the actual directing force toward that end has been Premier Clemenceau who. even while reclining in his easy chair suffering from the wound giv- en him by would be assassin, has summoned the premiers of four oth- CT Great Powers to his side in ordel 10 impress upon them the need fol hastening the great work in theil hands
