To those who think America is the
last word in democracy and orderly
government we recommend contem-
plation of the bloody race riots in
Washington and the reign there of
virtual martial law. The real bat
tie for democracy, justice and civili-

Just think of 1.-THE British en-
bassy is overlooking with single
men!
There are all sizes. shapes and
varieties - widowers and bachelors: !:
tall ones and short ones; blonds
and brunettes. Some are lively.
others sedate; some are young; some
wealthy and good looking.
Want American Wives.
And they boldly say they came to
America hoping to find American
wives. But to date they are still
on the market.
Thus the bachelor prince on his
visit here this month will be right in
his element with this coterie of lone
some fellow eligibles. Also there is
a chance that he will catch their
matrimonial fervor.
And here is another proof that the
men can't get along without the la
dies:
For these diplomats are tearing
their hair in desperate powwows
about who will be chatelaine for the
embassy when the prince comes to
town.
The Ambassador. Viscount Grey,
will entertain at several social func-
tions for the prince at the embassy.
But the viscount hasn't a wife to
act as hostess. Nor has any OF his
associates. The whole stan is losing
it's diplomatic calm. Some are on
the verge of offering to go out and
get a wife, somewhere. anywhere.
At the British Embassy.
They say they need a woman around
the house anyway; that the embassy
is all dust and disorder and every
thing is in a hopeless way. They are
attempting now to get things cleaned
and Strengthened for the coming of
the prince-but it is the old story of
the house without a woman.
The ambassador Is a widower. His
wife was Miss Dorothy Warrington

Senators Hear Arguments For
