Balkan situation with a Louis XI
wearing spectacles, also diverted
them.
From that point on they became
good comrades and danced with less
restraint. They discovered that they
were marvelously in accord, having
the same tastes and the same repug-
nances, after the manner of young
people who strike up friendships.
Having talked about others, they be-
gan to talk about themselves. Simone
avoided personalities. She kept her
mind on her great objective. But,
little by little, she attained a degree
of self-confdence which she had
never felt before.
In low and guarded voice the
Carthaginian was paying her dis
creetly turned compliments. He
showed intelligence and wit, and, in
addition, a sincerity and vivacity
which seemed to be struggling
through habitual reserve. AL
ready a certain intimacy of feeling
had been established between them.
They took supper together, tete-a-
tete, at a little side table. After
supper, fleeing the cotillion and the
reception rooms, still we'll filed in
spite of the early departures, they
wandered into the winter garden.
They sat down there in the shad-
ow of some big, MOSTLY fragrant
plants. Her head wIlirling a little
with the intoxication of her success,
Simone allowed herself to be lulled
by the tender phrases which he
whispered. She felt perfectly happy.
Never had any man who had mur-

INJURED words of love to her moved
her as she was moved by this one,
who pleased her more than any
other, and whom she already loved.
And it was such an extraordinary
piece of luck!
He took her hand. He mirrored
his black eyes in her big brown eyes,
with glints of gold, and suddenly he
asked her if she would marry him.
The young girls cup of happiness
was full. She made no answer. But
he felt her delicate fingers tighten
about his. He bent forward. His
lips just grazed hers. But already
she had risen to her feet and drawn
away step or two. He also got up.
Both were trembling little. For a
moment neither spoke.

said, to break the silence. What

'Yes." he answered. Especially

mine is very simple. But you
you are so magnificent as Cartha-
ginian general"
He smiled.
"Thank you for the compliment.
But I'm not Carthaginian general.
I'm Byzantine emperor"
He stopped. She had given a start
of terror and surprise.
ga Byzantine! You are Byzan-
tine emperor! Mon Dieul Mon
Dieu! l made a mistake. 1t isn't
you!" she cried.
She was so panic-strieken that
she forgot all about the necessity Of
concealing her disappointment.
You made a mistaken"
He looked at her dumfounded.
"Yes. No."
Then, bursting into tears, she told
him everything: her mother, q

at whose house the fete was to
be held, had given Simone the
most precise instructions.
"He will come as Carthaginian
general" she said. "The general
had name, but l don't remember it.
He is tall young man, dark COM
plexioned, with somewhat sleepy
air, but wide-awake enough, all the
same. He has twelve millions, my
dear little friend. He is an orphan,
and would make an ideal husband.
But, you see, everything depends on
you. He wants to be loved for him
self alone--this young bachelor does.
He is sentimental and literary. He
has been handicapped in his love af-
fairs because of his money. He
would like to marry, but is afraid to.
If he thinks that you know he is a
catch there will be nothing doing. So
you must meet him at my ball, by
accident, as it were. Give him a
chance to talk to you. Charm him.
That will not be difficult, for you are
intelligent and you are pretty. But
avoid dangerous subjects. Not a
word which would lead him to sus-
pect you know anything about his
position or his money. If he is in
troduced to you try to make it ap-
pear that you didn't hear his name.
He must believe that he has made
conquest without your guessing who
he is. You understand me, don't
you? I have told you all this little
crudely. But you know / love you.
1t is an occasion which you mustn't
let slip"
"Thank you, thank you, dear
friend"

getic. She had been campaigning for

"You are a providence-for us, as
always. Simone will show herself
worthy of your confidence. She will
succeed. You will succeed, Simone,
won't you?"
Simone knitted her brows and re-
flected.
II hope so. I will do my best"
"Above all, dear child, don't for
get that he will be a Carthaginian
general. He will wear a robe,
think. Do you know what Cartha-
ginian generals costume is like?"
"She ought to-" the mother re-
piled. "Otherwise it was time and
money wasted keeping her at school
until she was sixteen"
Amid the throng at Nine. de Their
masses costume ball Simone was
now looking for her Carthaginian.
"He is here; have seen him." the
stout hostess had whispered to her.
Her mother had slipped away into
the cardroom and she was free to
operate in peace. Eluding invita-
tions to dance, she pushed through
the crowd, always alert and atten-
tive. Her heart beat fast. She was
very anxious to succeed.
Her costume-Autumn Dew-of-
fered striking contrast to her own
dazzling youthfulness. She was,
that evening, much more beautiful

strewn with crimsoned leaves and
scintillating dewdrops; with her
dead-white skin, like pearly dawn,

and the supple grace of her figure
accentuated by the changing and
vanishing tones Of the silk gown she
wore. A little tired from having
prospected everywhere, she had
stopped near the door Of a big gal
lery in which there was dancing.
Suddenly timid voice asked her for
turn.
She faced about and felt her heart
throb violently. The man who spoke
to her was tall, with a pale face and
black hair, the latter encircled by a
blue headband. He wore a painted
robe, a short cloak and high shoes
with purple laces.
"It's he" she said to herself, won
dering at the good fortune which
had thrown in her way the one per-
son she had been looking for. She
took mechanically the arm offered to
her.
The thought that she had to make
herself attractive embarrassed her
at first. She was so habituated to
the other idea--that she must de-
fend herself against those whom she
pleased too well. She didn't know
what to say. But her lack of ease
must have appealed as an added
charm to her companion. Moreover,
the ice was soon broken. They found
something to laugh over. 1t was the
sight of a gawky "May Rose" who
waltzed furiously in the arms of an
infatuated schoolboy grotesquely
dressed as druid. A stout priest
dripping with perspiration, but very
grave, who had taken off his triple
crown and was talking about the

mitted by Lord Jellicoe to the secre-
tary of the Admiralty on October 80,
1914, in which he outlined the prob
able course Of a major action with
the German High Sea Fleet and ad-
vocated the exact tactics he followed.
These tactics had the approval of the
Admiralty. New weapons Of warfare
had to be dealt with, and there was
no previous experience on which to
base conclusions. Jellicoe feared a
decoy into mine or submarine traps,
and believed in caution. His turn

a. M, now reassured, the Admiralty
ordered them to join Lord Jellicoe.
AT 1902 p. IN. it ordered them back,
there being no prospect of action.
The Lessons of ,gutland
In Admiral Won Scheer's report to
the Kaiser he sums up the expert
ence of the battle with the words:
"The large war vessel, battleship
and cruiser, is and remains the foun-
dation of sea power and should be
further developed by enlarging the
caliber of the guns, increasing the
speed and perfecting the armor above
and below the waterline."
Lord Jellicoe says that the Brit
ish losses were due to the lightness
of armor of the battle cruisers, and
that speed was valuable factor for
the Germans.

German ships possess a speed far in

JelIicoe Comes Up

Meanwhile Lord Jellicoe, in the
fog to the north of the battle, had
not yet made contact, being unable
to find the enemy. At 4:52 the Ger
man fleet again turned northwest.
Admiral Scheer did not know that
he had engaged the entire Grand
Fleet, and was surprised when he
came upon the battleship force at
6 p. m. Lord Jellicoe, fearing SUBJ
marine and torpedo boat attack,
turned away from the Germans, then
paralleled their course. At 1923

the loss of ships and enabled him to
outpoint the enemy, cutting him off
from his base.
Lord Beatty's Message
2. Lord Beatty did at one time
send message urging Lord Jellicoe
to follow him and saying that this
action would cut off the German
fleet. This signal was not made at
the time critics have assumed it to
be made, but later. Lord Jellicoe did
respond to the request. The record
of messages does not give the result,
but Lord Jellicoe has said that the
battle cruisers were hidden by the
fog and smoke and that he could not
find them.
3. In the question Of the Harwich
destroyers the records show that at
4:45 p. m. on May 81 Commodore
Tyrwhitt asked leave of the Admi-
rally to take his vessels to the scene
of the fleet action. At SIP he took
them to sea so as to be ready for the
Admiralty's permission. At $40 the

A Splendid Panorama
Now the fleet is standing out to
sea, down the Firth of Forth. 1t is
a summer night; on either side of the
wide firth rise the low Scottish
hills. All the fleet swings slowly
into motion. First the Cyclops, drop
ping down to draw back the wire
submarine net. Then the stubby
mine sweepers, slipping out with
their kites and travis to clear sea
lane. A destroyer fiotilla, in close
formation, passes down to sea to
form scouting screen ahead. The
light cruisers follow, and at last the
battleships-every ship dark and
silent-form in a long line and dis
appear.

Germans in Flight

Germans i'm Flight

So the orders carry the battle on
through the night. The battleship
fleet did not again make contact; the
1cruisers pursued and harassed the
crippled Germans. One by one the
ships called up to report their DAM
age and their dead. Tugs were
ordered Out from Scotland to bring
in crippled ships. A scouting Yep
pelin was driven off by anti-aircrs'
guns, and report came from the chas'
ing cruisers that more enemy crsi'
were being disabled. All night long
the Grand Fleet moved southeast
trying to prevent the Germans from
making Horns Reef. If they coula
have held them at sea for another
day there would have been an oppor'
tunity for complete, annihilatlhs
victory, but when morning came thS
Germans had gained the protectl0'
of their mine fields.
The Blue Book papers, which haNs
thrown much new light on Jutlano'
have again aroused the controversy
which waged among naval autnoFt
ties after the battle. The genera
opinion is that everything was done
that could be done, in view OF tas
visibility conditions, but some critics
feel that the Grand Fleet did not
have the opportunity to show II
power.
Admiral Percy Scott, in speakiHs
of the Jutland documents, says
Didn't Have Full Scope
"The magnificent fighting quail
ties of our officers and men did nos
obtain full scope, owing to the as-
fensive tactics adopted b. the bat's
fleet off Jutland, though this was
with previous concurrence and iun
subsequent approval of the Az,
miralty. On that head there nsa
never been any serious doubt" 1
