sors. Why was this? 1t must have
been for some extraordinary purpose,
far reaching and exemplary rather
than the need for the heiress to
England's imperial throne. What re-
ligion was it? These were the daugh-
ters of queen Victoria, for she was
mother as well as a queen, and
to be a mother is more than being
queen, for a mother, whether a
queen on throne, or a mother
without throne, or dominion, is
the queen of all queens, for she is
heavens highest and best gift to
earth.
Did England's great queen fore
see the exacting demand that would
be made upon the women of her
kingdom in the coming crisis Of the
worlds supremacy for human free
dom? Did her sweep of vision take
in all times? Was it possible that
she imagine that her daughters with
royal blood coursing through their
veins would be required to earn
money and to make a living through
this course of training? No, a thou
sand times no. Then what? Who
can tell the inervertible and final
mishap of man? Shadows do not
always trail behind, but they by
misfortune reverse themselves and
cast their trembling forms with hi
eousness before us Unexpectedly in
the noontide of life.

New Orleans, La. Jan. 3.-Press
dispatches from Shreveport that a
new order on the Texas & Pacific
allowing Negro passengers to eat
in the dining cars after whites had
been served" created mild SEN
sation among traffic chiefs of all
railroads terminating here.
Local officers interpret the order
differently, saying that it applies to
Negro soldiers only and that Negroes
in citizens clothes are not admitted
to dining cars at all. They say it
became a problem how to feed the
Negro soldiers en- route and it was
decided by the Texas & Pacific to
admit them to the diners after whites
had finished,

PERSHINC DENIES
MEN ARE LAWLESS
Tells Secretary Baker Paris
Stories Are Untrue.

WASHINGTON. Feb 1.-Gen. Pershing
In an official telegram to Secretary Ba-
ker to-day characterized the sensational
reports in, French newspapers OF as
saults and burglaries having been conf
mitted In Paris by American soldiers as
gross cxaggerations"
Gen. Pershings cable follows:
Reference your telegram No. 1870, n
personal knowledge Of conditions and in
vestigation since receipt your telegram
shows that sensational reports as to as
saults and burglaries by American SOL
dlsrs are gross exaggerations. Grimes
by American soldiers in Paris are almost
negligible considering the large number
OF men In the vicinity The eame may
be said as to conditions throughout
France.
Since the conclusion OF the armistice
Paris offers attractions to men mis-
ch.evously and criminally inclined.
Naturally there are minor disturbances
in Paris. But the American military
police organization Is excellent and
these disorders are kept at a minimum.
None of these are traceable in any
respect to faulty pay systems. No PEN
niless soldiers are found In Paris.
There are individual cases of delayed
payment due to a change in pay system
which took place during hostilities. The
rev pay system enables a soldier to
set pay from paymaster when money
is due him. Generally speaking. the pay
has been almost always correct. The
pay department has been sending Of
ficers to find casuals at our hospitals
and elsewhere with directions to pay
men whose records are entirely lost.
Full refutation of the charges made
regarding crimes and disorders in Paris
cannot be put too strongly before the
American public"
