Melodramatic phrases. Of which
this is a specimen, marked the
story of Joseph Allen Husband. Of
Wayertree, London. in the divorce
court when he accused his wife of
misconduct with a lodser named
Harris.
Justice Hill told him at the finish,
however. that the suspicious over
which he had been brooding for
six years rested apparently only on
the Imagination of an exceedingly
suspicious and hot-tempered man,
and the husbands petition for di-
vorce was dismissed.

at Liverpool.

stick him with a knife. There was
trouble between US. and Harris left
the ship.

Both Mrs. Husband and Harris

Mrs Husband. "he followed me

AK les Bains, Sept. l5. The
meeting of the premiers of France
and Italy has been, rather an un-
eventful affair, resulting in an
easy and rapid arrival at at un-
derstanding. The two slttings
Sunday were sufficient to cover the
whole ground, so yesterday only a
few details remained to be settled.
Premier Giolitti was known 10
be willing 70 improve ltaiy's rela-
tions with France, even t. the ex-
tent of renouncing some OF his par
ticular visions of world policy, II
the price for that moral satisfac-
tion should be an estrangement
with one or more of the allies.
On the other hand. Premier MIL

France has agreed to settle some
outstanding questions, such as the
return to Italy of some OF the for
mer Austrian merchant tonnage
which already was promised to
Count SforZa at Spa. Moreover.
France will examine favorably some
Of the industrial needs of Italy, so
as to help that nation tide over the
labor crisis. There remain now no
difficulties that would hamper Ital-
ian exports to France. which have
reached 1000. 900 francs yearly.
Regarding Russia. Premier Mil
lerand does not expect the Italian
government to renounce its trade
relations. although France is de-
cided not to have any contacts
with the Soviet agents who, un-
der a commercial camouflage, might
conduct Soviet propaganda. How
ever, Premier Millerand hopes Italy
will not take the individual initia.

recognition. which America also op,

Have you taken time to note how
true form has run this season
through the various vieissitudes Of
sport7
1t Is generally taken for granted
that the best man always wins, but
the best man over the long route
doesn's always win over the short
one. where fate or fortune may play
a leading role
In England early IN the year it
was generally admitted that George
Duncan and Abe Mitchell were, the
two best golfers in the British En-
pire. Duncan won and Mitchell
finished close up.
Among the Amateurs.
Form ran true at Wimbledon
when Bill Tilden conquered Gerald
Patterson, and later on at Forest
Hills the chart remained constant
when Tilden and Johnston reached
the final round-and when the con-
Queror at Wimbledon finally finished
on top.
The same held true in the recent
amateur golf championship. The
three greatest golfers in the field
were conceded to be Francis Ouimet,
Chick Evans and Bobby Jones.
Jones reached the seminal round,
one Of the last four survivors, while
Ouimet and Evans moved on to the
final test. or the z2S who started

EX-KAISER MAD,

Has Been Insane for
Years.
CBy Universal servicc.)

G. Ward Price telegraphs from
Spa to the London Daily Mail:
That the former kaiser is mad.
and has been so for years. is the
sincere belief of the people of Spa,
whose unwelcome townsman he was
for many months before the day he
signed his abdication on the very
table-so they say-in the Hotel
Britannique at which the heads of
the British peace delegation later
took their meals.
There was a butcher in the main
street of Spa who was walking
through the woods one Sunday
afternoon in the summer of 1918,
and came suddenly upon a feshy.
elderly man in his shirt sleeves,
with bare arms, and a pick in his
hand. who, in company with others
similarly dressed and equipped. was
occupied in turning a little stream
from its course with all the eager
ness of a child making sand castles
on the beach.
Butcher Surprised.
The butcher stared in surprise at
these elderly mudlarks, for it never
occurred to him that one of them
was the German Emperor and two
of the others were a famous gen.
eral and Prince Metternich. Sud
denly he was addressed with an
friend to join him in Spa. Quarters

"Bonjour, monsieur. Take off your
hat. You are in the presence of the
Emperor of the World. And now"
added the Kaiser, as the startled
butcher sheepishly complied. go,
and forget forever Whit you have
seen"
As another hobby of his stay at
Spa. when the German communiques
were constantly assuring the troops
that their Supreme War Lord was
personally present at their battles,
the Kaiser used to stuff his pockets
with leaves or with pebbles. which
he would throw into the air as he
walked.
Sent for Woman Friend.
He sent for a German woman
friend to join him in Spa. Quartesr
were provided for her in the Villa
Pompeia. She was tall, handsome,
and between 30 and 35 years Of age.
The Emperor's spy was the nick :,
name the toYnspeople gave her.
She would disappear whenever the
Empress came to visit her husband
at Spa, but at other times the Kaiser
would go out riding with her in tho
woods that surround the town. One
or his orders was that all the
branches overhanging the paths
through the woods should be Topped
on so that he should not need to bow
his head as he cantered along. And
tar and wide every day the forests
round Spa were searched by secret
service men to insure his safety.
