Hard Fate of Brilliant Woman.

French newspapers are making ter rible revelations of the poverty in which many of the greatest French savants are found to live.
 The first woman doctor to practice medicine in France, Mime. Madeleine Bres, has just been discovered by the newspapers living in extreme poverty and completely blind. She Is 82 years old.
 Mime. Bres was a poor mans child, and when a child was employed in the hospital conducted by the Sisters of Charity at Mines. When she was 15 years old she married a bus conduc- tor, who was jealous of her attain ments. After marriage she took les sons in Latin and gained her degree at 28. Later, by special intervention of the Empress Eugenie, she was en- abled to attend examinations in medi- cine and study under the most noted French physicians.
 After practicing for 50 years, how ever, her sight failed and for some years she had lived on the verge of starvation, refusing the invitation of the public charity authorities to enter the paupers' hOme.-LOndon Herald.

SIAMESE RULER IS SUPREME
Rama VI Perhaps the Most Absolute Monarch That Is Left on This
 Old Earth.

You forget, when you are in LOn- don, that you are in the kings capital. You forget it in every kings capital in the wOrld-except Bangkok, Siam. 1 had not been in my hotel for half an hour when I heard whistles blow ing and bells ringing and trumpets sounding strange fanfares. 1 asked my boy Che came with my hotel room and was my shadow during my entire stay in Siam) what the noise signified. He knelt down and put his hands piously together, as GUS tom decrees that a servant must do when addressing a superior, and made me understand in his queer, pidgin- English that the king was passing by.
 Later, 1 came to know that the pass ing of the king was not a rare oc- currence. Often the trumpetS an nOunced him two or three times the gOlden-roofed royal palace in the center of the city and the audience hall two miles distant. Every time he passed the highway was lined with a crowd eager to pay homage. For in Bangkok, a king Is a reality, not the mere fgurehead that he has come to te in most other countries.
 The hotel at which I stopped was owned by the king. So, found, was everything else in Siam, including the inhabitants, body and soul. Rama VI Oxford graduate, playwright, poet and keen adnlinistrator-is perhaps the most absolute of all the monarchs left on earth. Gle does not appear In the Siamese archives as Rama VI. detch Phra Paramendr Mana Vajir- avudh Phra Mongkut Klao. But for the sake of convenience, foreigners call him Rama VD.
 Rama VI Is an autocrat, but his government, strangely enough, Is more like an advanced state social ism than anything else. The state owns the main lines of the railways, the oil fields, the forests and the mines. The street cars and the water works and the lighting system of Bangkok are state property. Of course the state is the king. But the king draws a very firm, straight line be- tween his rights as an individual and his rights as the head of the govern ment, and governs for his people more truly than does many an elected ex- ecutive. He is democratic in spirit. l know of just one act of his that might be called tyrannical-h1s recent order that the women of Siam must let their hair grow long.-FIorence Burgess Meekan in Asia Magazine.

ATHENS. (By Mail to United
Press)-That a new map Of Middle
Europe and the Balkans is in the
making and bears the indelible
marks OF the Quai d'Orsay is the
widespread conviction of Greek
statesmen here.
To most Of Western Europe Greece
carries indisputable evidences Of pro-
Germanism, a trait that in itself
alone is sufficient to draw down the
uncompromising hostility Of France.

Serbian, Belgian. Portuguese and
other nations dominated by the Al
lies have been non-committal. The
Yugoslavs have actually been openly
hostile. Roumania's attitude also
has given the government here no
little worry and embarrassment.
The attitude of the American Le-
gation-one Of the most influential
Legations in Athens-has been that
of 'watchful waiting" or "benevo-
lent neutrality"
The new political map OF the Bal
kans, according TO authoritative en-
tente source, calls for a reorganized

AID FOR WIDOWS
/. OF CITY FIREMEN
Liberty Suggests Division of
Company Holdings After
Sale
IDEA MEETS WITH
GENERAL FAVOR

Members Of the Liberty Fire Com
pany have started a movement
whereby widows OF volunteer fire.
men are to be benefited by the sale
Of the present fire houses and equip
ment when the present volunteer fire
department system ceases TO exist
The plan OF the Liberty Company
is to divide equally between the
widows Of deceased members the
proceeds Of the sale Of their hold
ings in the companies.
IL is said other companies may
decide upon similar action. Such
a division it is understood, win not
appreciably affect the share living
members would receive, and it would
be a lasting memorial TO the volun-
teer department as we'll as add to
the esteem in which the volunteer
firemen have always been held by
those whose property they have pro
tected these many years.
From the time OF the incorpora-
tion Of the Friendship Fire Com
pany, the first volunteer company in
the city, up 10 the present, upon the
decease or dismissal OF a member,
his claim to any rights in the cor
poration ceased, it being understood
that in the event of dissolution the
living members only would be en-
titled TO share in the disposition OF
the company's assets. Most Of the
older companies have a membership
of from so to rs, while some of the
younger organizations number only
from 35 to 40 members. Several OF
the older companies ceased taking
in new members years ago, and
especially has this been true since
the agitation for a paid fire depart
ment started. It is understood the
heirs or assignees Of a deceased
member have no claim on the assets
Of any Of the fire companies.
For years past the families af de-
ceased members have been assisted
/ by the Volunteer Firemen's Relief
Association in defraying funeral ex-
penses OF members Of the volunteer
department TO the amount OF 500,
and the act creating a paid depart
ment carries with it an appropria-
tion Of $4,000 to the association TO
enable It to continue It's relief for
