TWO "FLORO" GIRLS.
NOW BEARING TITLES,
COMING TO AMERICA

Members of the original "Floro-
dora" sextet. two of the famous
beauties now married into the British
nobility. will soon be seen in Amer
lea. it was learned yesterday.
Broadway thestergoers will hardly
recognize behind the name of Lady
Ashburton the beautiful Frances Bel
mont. who was one of the favorites
of the bevy which helped to make the
play such a success. Lady Ashburton
recently arrived here after her first
visit since 1906. and Mrs. Stock is due
to arrive soon.
Lady Ashburton first became known
as one Of the scrub lady's chorus in
My Lady" graduating from that
role to the more conspicuous berth
Of "Florodora" girl. Shortly after
she went to London she met Lord
Ashburton. a member Of the wealthy
Barring family. to whom she was
married. She left the stage for the
life of a great lady on an Enslish
estate and became prominent for her
philanthropies.
Mrs. Stock, as Camille Clifford, was
another of the seXtet beauties She
steerage. After being n lady's maid
she went on the stage and eventually
became one of the sextet LatD. she
was featured in the first Prince OF
Pilsen" company which went to Lon
don. As the original Gibson Girl
she attracted attention and was soon
married to the Hon. Henry Lyndhursr
Bruce. jr.. heir to the earIdom of
Aberdare. Mr. Bruce was killed at
Ypres where he served in the Scots
Guards. His widow was married a
year later to Arthur Stock, of Eng
land. who also saw service in the
war.
Florenz ziegfeld. jr.. has con-
firmed the report that he is to build
g theater as the permanent New
York home of Billie Burke and her
company. His plans are so far I'M
der way that he is in possession OF
the architects drawings for the
structure. However. he IL not yet
ready to reveal the site that has
been selected
Miss Burke has long wanted to
appear in some of the old English
comedies, and with her great success
IN Caesars Wife" and in view of
the praise that has been bestowed
upon the strong company appearing
IN her support in that MAY at the
Liberty. Mr.. Ziegfeld decided not
only to present Miss Burke next
spring in a revival of The School
Tor Scandal" (she will play Lady
Teasle, of course), but he will make
her present company a permanent
house it in Miss
burke,s new theater. and there
each spring he will present her in a
revival OF an old comedy.

HOLLANDS CURT
 REJ0lNDER WAS
 TO BE EXPECTED

Paris. July 11-Feeling in confer ence circles today was that the curt rctoinder of Holland to the allied note regarding the former German Grown Prince, received yesterday, could not be taken as indicative of the Dutch attitude on the final ques- ton of the surrender of either of the former emperor or his oldest son.
 It is felt in conference circles gen. orally and in American quarters par ticularly, it is understood, that the Dutch reply was just about what might have been expected in the cir cumstances. Representatives of the allied and associated powers are of the opinion that the allied commits sion applied the assumption of some dereliction on the part of the Dutch government and that it's reply was merited.

Attorney General Palmer's recent instructions to district attorneys ef- fectiye July 20, cancelling parol re- strictions on enemy aliens is likely to affect only five enemy aliens in this state, 1t was said at the office of United States District Attorney John F.

 These men who are likely to be released are not considered detrt- mental to the public welfare and have been under the surveillance of the de- partment Of justice and the United States marshal for second violations of their permits. Schuster violate q his permit the second time by get ting a glass of beer at a saloon.
 Lifting of the bans on enemy aliens in the state relieves the United States marshal and the department of sur veiIlance of 5000 aliens and the new orders affect only the five who have been required to make reports every month to the governmental offices.
