ciplining her Irish husband and knew
the power of her lungs and the vigOr
of her invective, but she seemed bent
upon apprsing the whole common
wealth of Connecticut of the fact that
she was vastly displeased with the
person she was addressing, who was
certainly not Flynn. Amid sounds of 4
scuflle and the continuous outpOuring
OF billingSgate the light over the
garage door flashed on suddenly and
disclosed Flynn i'm the act of precipi-
tating himself into the fray. Elsie hal
grasped, and was stoutly clinging TO a
tall man who was trying to free him

cries meanwhile included some Of the
raciest terms in the German dictionary
and others-mOuthfuls of frightfulness
that l didn't recognize.
When reached the open Flynn was
dancing round the belllgerents like an
excited boxer, occasionally springing
in to land blow; and all the while
Elsie continued to address her captive
and the world at large in her native
tongue. Flynn was rather more lhan

Antoine knew that his story had
startled me. He told me further that
the man had carefully outlined to FL
sic just how she could take advantage
of her freedom Of the house to appro-
pirate the fan when the ladies were
out and the servants off the second
floor. She was to be paid for her as
sistance; two hundred dollars had
been promised; even more had been
suggested. Elsie and the stranger had
left the garage and passed out of ear
shot before Elsie fully consented; but
Pierre had given Antoine the impress
sion that she would make the attempt.
"It was to be for the kaiser, for Ger

A Tribute And An Appeal

Washington, Nov. 15-Not only has the American Red Cross generz ously met every demand made upon it, but in assisting in our efforts to- of the war it has performed prodt- gies.
 During the past year thousands of sick and wounded have been returned condition as it was humanly possible to achieve.
 However, there still remain in hos pitals goodly number of patients whose convalescence has necessarily been protracted, and reconstruction consequently retarded. Before the lapse of another year I hope to see all of these patient victims of the war homeward bound and equipped to assume some role as useful mem bers of society,"
 Amid ideal surroundings in Balti- more, the American Red Cross is still caring for that small group of pa theic cases, the men blinded during the war. 4es-
 But coincident with the rehabiIita- ton and gradual reduction of the numbers of the wars maimed there looms ahead another weighty task for while it may nov approach the mag nitude of recent war activities, in --th C far-reaching results it can have upon the young manhood of they nation,
 
 portant as any of the work under taken in the past.
 I refer to the functions exclusive ly and voluntarily to be carried out peace-time army. A description of these activities is set forth in detail in Circular of the War Department, , under date af January 5. 1920. As being widely disseminated in connec tion with this roll call they need not be repeated here.
 Our New Army.
 The new army will consist prin- cipally of youths voluntarily enrolled in the formative period of their lives. It will be organized along new and essentially progressive lines. On a scale hitherto undreamed Of the soldier will be surrounded with every conceivable agency for the advance ment of his moraL physical, voca- tionaI and educational development.
 In training them to meet the ma tional obligations so certain to de- volve upon them in any war of the future, and at the same. time prepar- ing them to qualify for and fit into a place irl the commercial or industrial life of the nation upon the conclusion colors, the army will urgently need the support and assistance of the American Red Cross.
 Need Greatest Mother"
 On the very threshold of manh ood away from home and friends, and in a strange environment, these young men will particularly need the help ing and guiding hand of the Great est Mother who so beneficientIy watches over and aids all irrespec- tive of boundaries, birth or creed.
 The physical welfare of the per- sonnel of the army is not the only concern of the medical department. It is just as keenly interested in the development of those mental and particularly those moral qualities that should be associated with a sound body. Aside from it's physical

GAY-PARTIES
 DIVORCE BASIS

Dover, N. H., Nov. 15.-Former Mayor Fred H. Beckwith, of this city wealthy clubman and overseas vet eran, was granted a edivor-o from Marion Taylor Beckwfth, wei. known ! Boston artist. The suit was uncon- tested.
 Mir. Beckwith alleged that his wife ( named Harold GaIpin, of Belmont and Boston, leather salesman, as core spondent. Ga1pin is married. A stu ,l dio on Boylston street, Boston, fig ured prominently in the husband $ charges against his artist wife. He , fitted it upr for her when they were married, just before he sailed for France. He spent more than $5,00O furnishing it. In his petition he de- , clared the studio was the setting for gay "candle light parties." while he was away to war, and that it was a convenient spot for the development of the romance between his wife and Galpin. She was away from her home in Dover great deal even after his return from France, Beckwitn charged. On one occasion the hus- band, accompanied by detectives, trailed Mrs. Beckwith with the CO., respondent to an inn in Jaffery, where the door of the youne WomarSs apart ment was forced. Her husband took his automobile away from her at that time, and she and Galpin returned to Boston by train, according to the tes- timony Mrs. BecIlwitn at the time or her marriage to the New Hamp- shire clubman was already a divorcee. fridge, of Melrose. She has been well known in Boston as a patron or Bo- hemian tea room and lounging places, according to Beckwith.
