traction at the Colonial this evening
Mary Hamilton is the possessor of
several millions of pounds of British
money. She wearies of society and
longs for the simple life. She induces
Peggy Ingledew, her secretary to be-
come her partner in scheme 10 buy
a horse and caravan from gypsies. and
accompany her to the New Forest to
lead the simple life. Wearing old
clothes and cooking her own food,
Mary has a delightful time of it until
the gypsies from whom she purchased
her outfit, seek to extort more money
from her She stands them of with
a revolver. Sir Kenneth Graham, one
of her numerous admirers, comes to
her camp, meets Peggy and falls in
love with her. Jack Hutton, owner of
the ground Mary is encamped upon,
decides to get rid of the gypsies and
with several henchmen, goes to Mary's
caravan with the view of forcing her
off the place When Jack sees Mary
in her gypsy garb, he is entranced.
She invites him to dine with her, and
he is puzzled to observe that her table
is weighted down with Sevres china,
cut glass and silver She tells him
she has stolen it from a great house
in Park Lane and he makes up his
mind to reform this beautiful but pill

HORSES AND MULES
BEING DEMOBILIZED

disqualification of horses and mules
as we'll as men, is the order of the day
at Camp Meade. The old Missouri
mule is being given an honorable dis
charge from the army having served
his time and done his duty along with
the rest during the war.
Decentralization" of the equestrian
stock at Camp Meade began Tuesday
when $50 animals were placed on the
block for auction at the Three Hun
dred and Fourth Remount depot at ten
o'clock. The sale ended by shutdown
The highest bid was $3.50, brought
by strong draft mule. Other mules
ranged in price from $50 to $50
Mainly because most of the 300 pa
irons were farmers and contractors
seeking mules for heavy work, draft
horses brought hardly more than $110
while driving horses were sold often
during the day at less than $50.
OF the entire lot 800 were draft mules
and $50 were draft and driving horses
They were sold in singles, pairs, tours
and several teams of 10. The average
price was about SIS and it was esti-
mated the total proceeds from the sale
would be about 100000 The govern
ment is losing nearly $4,000 on the
$50 horses and mules, exclusive of the
cost of feed. it having been figured
that the lot cost the government about
100000.
The sale was under supervision OF
First Lieutenant Frederic r. Whip
pier. Quartermaster, and was conduct
ed by M, Fox & Sons. auctioneers of
Baltimore.

ISSUE OVER ARMY RANK
IS PUT UP TO CONGRESS
Secretary Bakery Announces "Anom-
alOus Situation, Relating to Emer-
gency Grades of Officers


| Secretary of War Baker. is being
confronted by the problem of the sta
Utilization of the emergency rank of
army officers, which, he says, must
wait the action of congress.
THE War Department" he said
has not yet undertaken to suggest
what it thinks wisest about it, We
have an anomalous situation; a very
large number of men in the regular
army have been promoted from lieu
tenants to captains, and captains to
colonies, and so forth, and after a
man has been doing duty with troops
in war as a colonel, 1t is pretty hard
to revert to a lower rank. The problem
of how to stabilize rank is a serious
one, and one that cannot be solved
until congress decides what to do
about the bill for the army. If con-
gress provides for an army of a half
million men land all members / have
talked with seem to be favorable) that
would provide much larger number
of places for colonies, majors, cap
tains, etc. So far as | know, it will
take care of all the regular army men.
IAN effort will be made to use all
the present permanent officers, and
then fill in with those officers best
qualified who are now in the tenn
porary army and have signifed their
desire to stay in the military estab-
lishment."

Has passed our brief infinity.

ty of rendering false judicial testimony
IS merely an opinion of the Mexican Gov
eminent entirely unsupported by evidence
the Mexican Government cannot expect
the United States to accept, in the grave
circumstances of this case, such an nm
supported statement as a valid excuse.
Mr.. Jenkins, weak and exhausted in a
hospital says he has been harassed by
the Mexican authorities while evidence
against him was obtained through init
midation of witnesses. The only conclu-
Slon this Government can draw, is that
Mexico has made a studied effort to en-
snare Mr.. Jenkins in legal intricacies, in
order to devert tt attention of the A
merican and Mexican people from the
fact thar Puebla, the second largest city
in Mexico, is overrun by bandits and
that the Mexican authorities have
been negligent. 1t appears to have been
the purpose of the Mexican Government
to assume a Wiiful Indifference to the
feelings of the American people, that
have been aroused to the point of indig-
