Saw Redemption Of Lost Provinces
But with the war that In 1914
threatened to engulf France az II had
dcsolated her adopted land half CEN
tury before, Eugenie's patriotism fared
anew. She took the greatest interest
in the work of defending the patrie, and
followed with keencst zest the opera
tions of the armies of the Allies. Her
great wealth enabled her to be Of In
valuable aid to the French Govern
ment, to which in 1918 she transferred
a historic letter she had received from
William /. written to her after the fall
Of the empire, in which he offered the
crown to her son az Napoleon Nv II she
would agree to the cession OF Alsace-
Lorraine.
Eugene positively and Indignantly
refused to consent to the yielding Of a
foot Of French territory to the German
conqueror. ,t.
Her delight over the humbling of
Germany in the world war and the re-
dcmption Of the 'lost provinces" was
unbounded.

little later he returned, and again
stopped and talked to the sentry.
Doctor Evans Trickcd Sentry
Doctor Evans told the man that he
had returned for medicines and instru-
ments, and would pass through the gate
again In short while. He asked the
guard how long he would be on duty and
was told until little after midnight.
The doctor promised the man 1.-TWO boxes
of the finest cigars made. us well as a
bottle of the best brandy on earth" II he
was there when the doctor returned.
As told by the friend to whom Doc
tor Evans described the event, with
Eugene concealed under a skillfully ar
ranged shawl. the perilous journey was
attempted. Reaching the sentinel, who
was there ready for his brandy and
cigars, the doctor leaned out OF the
carriage window with the boxes in one
hand and the bottle in the other, thus
hiding the form of the en-
press. With a cheerful remark to the
soldier the doctor ordered the coachman
to hasten on and the danger for the time
was over. Then began the perilous
drive for Calais, where the empress

picion. and sailed for England
Doctor Evans was born in Philadel-
phia December %. 1923, and died In
Paris November IA. 1907, shortly after
returning from his last trip to America.
He was born at Fortieth and Spruce

Doctor Evans graduated from Jcffer-

dentistry under. DR.. John DE Haven

He amassed fortune estimated at

giate championship, probably will have
the largest representation with a good
chance for landing six stars on the team.
Notre Dame looks good for delega-
ton of four and California and Stanford
may land three on the team. The New
York Athletic club most likely will have
the largest club representation.

facilities for taking a team OF 25O TO 300
to Antwerp, the chances for dark
