A Modern King Maker

From The Matinee Idol of Arahia- - hv
 Lowell Thomas, in Asia" marazins
 Such man is Thomas Lawrence Lawrence, the kingmaker, for if is certaln that but for him Hussein ibn AL the aged Shereef of Mecca, would hot De King Of the Hejaz today, nor would Emir Feisal be prince of Da- maseus and Syria. Much credit is due poth to King Hussein and Prince Feisal as leaders Of the Arabian national movement and the Arabian revolution. ret they could not have succeeded without Lawrence
 It was the young Englishman who destroyed the thousand -year-old net work of blood feuds, the thousand mics Of semi-iawiess country between Mecca and Damascus. He it was who built up the Arabian army. He if was who planned all the strategy of the Arabian campaign and. actually led the Arabs into battle. ,tHe it was who captured Damascus. rode in triumph through the ancient capital of Omar and Saladin and established a govern ment for Prince FeisaL Lawrence. in fact was the soul and the brains of the Arabian revival and the epic Ara bian campaign.
 How Thomas Lawrence was able to gain the confidence not only of the di- rect descendants of the prophet who rule over the Arabian cities and towns. but also of the Bedouin tribes of the desert, will be recognized by history as one of the most spectacular stories of all times. His achievements were made more extraordinary by the fact that he admitted openly that he was Christian. Although he wore the robes of Prince of Mecca, he never ac- tually posed as an Arab except when. disguised in the veil and the dress of an Arab woman, he sometimes slipped through the Turkish lines to spy on the Sultans armies.
 The secret of Lawrence's success? Probably this, that he not only lived as an Arab, but thought as one At the same time his brilliant mental gifts enabled him to achieve far greater re- suits than any Arab leader could have attained. Knowing from past exper- fence and continual observation the thoughts, customs and institutes of the Arab, he temporarily conyerted Eng fish mental and psychological back ground into that of Arabia, and, by using methods which they understood and respected, gained the confidence of the Arabs.

Br MAReARET wALTER

London, March 15.-( Reciprocal News Service 1--At her marriage to the Mar quis of Blanford, the heir to the duke dom of Marlborough, Miss Mary Cado- gan wore very simple dress of draped charmeuse with brocaded velvet train falling from the shoulders. Her veil was of plain tulle held by a single bandeau of orange blossoms and. her only ornament was magnificent string of pearls, the Duchess of Marlborough $ wedding gift.
 This match between the eldest son of the Marlboroughs and the fourth daughter of Lady Hedworth Meux Is a love match and began as a boy and girl affair when the young Duchess of Marlborougb first brought her two little boys to Portman Square to live after her separation from the duke. The Cadogan girls were neighbors and the young Marquis of Blandford soon chose Mary for his sweetheart Only the war prevented their earlier mar riage.
 Mary Cadogan is god daughter to Queen Alexandra and since their baby hood Queen Mary has singled out the daughters of her dear friend. the Wis countess Chelsea (who in her early widowhood married Admiral Hedworth) as companions to her own children.
 The history of this branch of the Cadogan family is very romantic. Left widow scarcely out of her teens with five little girls to bring up, the Wis countess of Chelsea was further handi- capped by very small means. But she was natural mother and devoted her self to her daughters, educating them herself and bringing them up in the greatest simplicity. The last little girl was well out of the nursery before her mother married Admiral Hedworth. the blunt sailor, younger son of the Earl of Durham. Admiral Hedworth made splendid father for the little brood and in the days when the girls vert Tn the hoyden stage, the sight of them romping round the sturdy little man was common one in the parks of 3 summer morning.
 One day the admiral al a reception heard a most discourteous remark made Tn the hearing of rich brewers wife the favdrite butt of the seasons draw Ing room jokes. The brewer himself was kind- hearted well -meaHing little man who courted social position only to please his wife, who was stout and commonplace and unused to the ways of London.
 But Admiral Hedworth cared nothing Tor that; he instantly took up the mat ter personally and gave the young in solents lesson they never forgot. He went further and got his wife to call upon the brewers wife and made 2 point of being seen with the couple at

 Colonel Lawrence played the part of a great man of mystery endowed with the ability to do everything superla- lively well.

 He sat on my stomach. pulled out my Colt, pressed it to my temple and pulled the trigger many times. But the safety catch was on, and it only clicked. The Turkoman was a primi- fellow and knew very little about pis- tol mechanism He threw the weapon away in disgust and proceeded to pound my head with rock until I was no longer interested. After taking everything I had, he made off Not long afterward I recovered conscious ness I went to the village and got help to chase the brute.

Childhood Romance Ends

distinguished functions The brewers were childless and lonely and they were often asked to share in the gayety and fun of family parties at the Hedworths. Then they left London and dropped out of the lives of the admiral and his wife
 But upon the death of both, sepa- rated only by a few months it was found that the brewers wife had left the whole of her immense fortune to the admiral in gratitude for his gall lant friendship. She made only one condition and that was that he should assume the name of her adored hus- band. This was a hard condition. Ad- miral Hedworth was proud of his name among the noblest in England, and he had done a good deal himself to keep it illustrious. But there were those five beloved little girls and their fu- ture 10 think of. So in 1911 he took the name of Meux and is now Admiral of the Fleet Sir Hedworth Meux

Delaware Legislature Urged to
Hurry Decision Today.

Dover, Del, March 31.-A vote on
the resolution for ratification of the
proposed equal suffrage amendment
was expected to be taken in the lower
house of the Delaware legislature to-
day. The resolution was reported out
"on its merits" by the house commit
tee on revised statutes yesterday. The
senate will take no action until the
lower branch has disposed of the
measure. Increased activity in the
camps of both the suffragists and those
opposed to ratification was noticed to-
day.
Suffragist workers made urgent ap-
peals for favorable action on the reso-
luton, pleading with the law makers
not to permit the Mississippi legisla-
ture. the upper house of which ratified
the amendment yesterday, to rob Del

vote necessary to make the amendment

Democratic and Republican parties

supporters of that measure today were
optimistic and predictions were freely
made that Mississippi would be the
thirty sixth state to act favorably on
the amendment
The senate vote. 20 to %, showed a
shift of ten members from opponents
to supporters since the vote was taken
in February and suffrage leaders felt
confident that a reflection of this
change of sentiment would be found
in the house which last month also
voted against ratification.
Anti suffrage leaders, however, while
admitting that there probably might
be a slight change in the number of
members who would vote for the
amendment, said they were confident

the resolution was defeated last month
