Virginia warmly. 1--WE are going to
be out of town until September, and
then Kathleen wants to study designing
here in the city. She will probably stay
with friends. You two will see great
deal of each other, I expect"
Virginia is going to be married in
September" Kathleen announced tri-
umphantly.
Mrs. Foster raised her delicately PEN
ciled eyebrows and Mrs. West said
sweetly.
Virginia is going to visit the An
dersons next week and 1 am going to
my sister in Detroit. OF course there
would be no need of keeping up this
apartment, so we are breaking it up and
Virginia will probably be married from
hotel"
Virginia flushed painfully. She knew
that her mother was. quite well aware
of the fact that there would be no
hotel wedding, and that she was merely
getting out of the situation as well as
she could.
"I'll let you know my plans" she
said, catching Kathleen's hand which
was beautifully gloyed in light fawn
suede. '.....
Kathleen drew it away lightly and
gave Virginia's arm a little pat.
"Of course, I'll write you from the
mountains and send you my address. "
Was there little coolness in Kath
leen's voice or did Virginia imagine it?

Kathleen and Her Mother

KATHLEEN and her mother blew in
N on the Vests unexpectedly one
evening. Mrs. Foster was large
blonde woman, beautifully gowned. She
had quiet dignity of manner and she
saw everything that was taking place
around her, although she did not give
the impression of unduly noticing any
thing.
leen and the two talked eagerly,
''How is Jimmy?" were Kathleen s
first words.
Virginia blushed. "I'm going to visit

Kathleen opened her eyes wide under
the blue feathered hat. ''Then it's
settled? Oh, Virginia, what made you
be SO foolish. Does your mother ap-,
prove? never thought she would" AND

back languidly in large chair and

''Of course l do"
''When are you going to be mar
ried?" =, o.,

''Splendid."
Kathleen looked doubtful. She had
known Jimmy Anderson for three years
and she could not imagine marrying
him. She thought in her heart of hearts
that Virginia was foolish, that she was
throwing her chances away. II she
had known the truth Of the matter, and
that Virginia was planning to live on
$50 a week, she would have been
scandalized.
'1But you haven't told me anything
about Bill" Virginia was saying.
''Oh, my dear, that's all off. Mother
thought was crazy to even think OF
such thing, and she made me promise
to have nothing more to do with him. !"
'Oh, Kathleen, how could you? Bill
was 'awfully in love with you."

Twenty-Five Million Dollars
Needed for ChurCh'S Work

London, Feb. 1.-The Church OF
England is in the first stage of
building up a new scheme of finance.
Experience has shown that parishes,
dioceses and great church societies
that have helped to carry on the
work cannot meet the need of re-
organized and reconstructed church
Ancient endowments were not
given to the church as a church, but
to this or that particular parish or
corporate body, and there are no
funds available for reconstructive
work. Until now central machin-
cry to carry on the Church of Eng
land as a progressive church has
never been installed.
The want of funds will explain the
difficulties that face the organizers
of the central church fund in carry
ing out their new work.
Twenty-Five million dollars is re-
quired, and church people through
out the kingdom are being asked to
subscribe.

Mahon.
"In the Marshall islands" said Mr.
Mcmahon, Il was much impressed

who then read a telegram from
General Joffre, dated July so, read
ing as follows:
"For diplomatic reasons it is in
dispensable that no incident occur
at the frontier. No unit and no
patrol shall advance east of the
line fixed"
JofFre Took Defensive Stand.
NJ. Viviani then read a message
from Adolphe Messih1y, minister
of war at that time, as follows:
'"In order to assure English COLA
boration, it is indispensable that
French troops do not cross the gen.
eral line decided upon unless a reg
ular attack is made upon them"
On August 2. General Joffre,
learning that II violations of the
French frontier had been committed,
telegraphed to Premier Viviani as
follows:
"The Introduction against crossing
the line indicated is lifted, but for
national reasons of diplomatic and
moral order, it is indispensable to
leave to the Germans the entire
responsibility for hostiHties. Con-
sequently, our troops will merely
hold the enemy back and throw him
upon the frontier without pursuing
him beyond"
Approved by British King.
M. Fiviani, amid tense silence,
continues:
Then war was declared. The
president of the republic wrote a
letter to King George, which was
published in the press at that time,
but the reply of the king is still I'M
published. 1t reads:
81 admire the limitation which
France willingly imposed upon her
self and which so vitality concerns
her military defense"
The former premier was laboring
under great emotion and his voice
was at high pitch, carrying to every
corner of the spacious chamber, as
he concluded:
at is essential that the world
know that III order to assure the
peace of the world, we were making
such a sublime sacrifice in uncover
ing our frontier in order to affirm
our right. Do you think that great
and noble America would have re-
manned Indifferent to such strik-
ing demonstration of our good faith
and that it had no influence upon
her final decision?

Vivian Tells How France
Proved Its Desire for Peace
By Making Great Sacrifice
Retirement from Frontier and Abandonment of Briey
Mineral Valley Carried Out, Former Premier Elk
plains, In Accordance With Plan to Leave to Ger
mans Entire Responsibility for Hostilities

Paris, Feb, 2zOn July 80, 1914
the French government ordered its
troops to retire eight on 10 kilo-
meters from the frontier, having
heard that the German troops were
moving toward it, Rene Viviani,
former premier, declared in the
Chamber Of Deputies in the course
Of disclosures concerning the origin
of the war. NJ. Viviani was premier
when the war broke out.
1T was on July &c." he said, that
the government decided that the
French troops should retire eight or
10 kilometers from the frontier. On
the same day l requested Paul
Cambon, French ambassador in
London, by wire. to inform SIR
Edward Grey of the measure taken.
England | sad, will realize
that if France is firm, it is not she
who is taking measures of aggres-
sion. Although Germany has moved
her troops upon her battle lines the
government of the French republic
intends to demonstrate that France
as well as Russia bears no respon-
sibility for the attack.
Gould we risk a murderous fight
upon the chance meeting OF patrols?
We desired to proclaim high before
the world that if France were forced
to fight she would do so for right
and justice and not take advantage
Of any equi*ocation."
Deputy Criticises Move.
M. Viviani's speech was in reply
to questions by Deputy Fernand
Engerand, who sharply criticised
the abandonment of the l0-kilometer
zone. He claimed that it was a
technical mistake because the min
eral valley of Briey was within range
of the French guns and had it been
bombarded intensively for three or
four days the German iron ore de-
posts and factories would have
been destroyed and Germany placed
in an inferior position regarding
minerals. This, the deputy thought,
would have brought about an end OF
the war in six months.
Deputy Engerand added that the
abandonment of the French sources
of minerals and iron without a fight
created situation which caused the
first battle of the Marine to become
a pyrrhic victory instead of the abb
solute defeat of the enemy.
Former Premier Viviani replied
that the abandonment of the Briey
valley in the event of war had
been decided upon by the general
staff in January, 1914. A withdraw
al to a depth of rs kilometers was
first considered, said M. Vivian,

Belgium Adopts Old
Form Of Punishment
for Pro-Hun Women

Bruges.-(Correspondence of the
Associated Press. IAN ancient form
of punishment in favor in the mid
die ages has been adopted in Bel
GUM for Belgian women who were
too friendly toward the German in
vaIers or who listened to their love
making. They have been shorn of
their matt. In Bruges several women
have suffered this form of retribu-
ton and either must remain indoors
or patrcnize the wig makers. 1t is
known that this method has been
applied in at least one other place.
The scenes attending the applica-
ton of this punishment has been
rather boisterous.
Corporal punishment is visited up
ondhe pro-Germans among the Bel
giau men, but few of these waited
the wrath of the Belgian avengers.
They decamped before the Belgian
troops reoccupied the cities and
towns which had been held under
German domination.
Such cases as these have been re-
markably few. The wonder is that
there have not been more. The
proportion of renegades is so small
as to reflect greater glory on poor
little Belgium.
As a whole the civil population Of
Belgium has remained wonderfully
loyal. By their system of communal
administration, they were enabled to
govern themselves while the Ger
man was deluding himself that he
was ruling. 1t enabled them to en-
dure physical privations, suffer death
and resist the insidious propaganda
of the German governors, Won Bis
sing and his successor, Won Falken-
hansen, who attempted to separate
the Walloons from the Flemish and
to poison the wells of Belgium's
patriotism.
