High and Low in London Are Going In for Dancing

| Criterion, Marc Henri, the famous
landscape painter, has reproduced
the blue magic of an Italian eve
ming, with vines and pergolas, stars
and rising moon, and glimpses of
white villas amid tall expresses, all
complete. Dinner is served at tables
ranged round the walls, a high
backed, semicircular divan on which
four people find comfortable sitting
room segregating each table.
The detail of illusion is minute,

Before he had quite reached the

"Oh, hell" said the bandit, and
neatly slipped out of his thin mantle
of respectability.
Several years of tremendous activ-

They took Starr to the county

The doctors said there was no
chance of his recovery, for the bullet

four days, conscious all the time.

LONDON.

II ONDON is busy showing the
prophets who freely predict
ed a slump in the dancing
craze this season that, like the
hoary old gentleman who foresaw
the end of the world in 1891, they
needed spectacles when they looked
into the future.
The symptoms of private enter
prise and public enthusiasm point
not to diminution but to pro-
gressive development of the craze.
Roof gardens are blossoming forth;
hotels are announcing the dansants
and dinner dances and supper
dances; new clubs are forming,
old ones are reviving and existing
ones have full lists; and all sorts Of
places, from the small Queens Hall
in the neart of the metropolis, where
in past seasons musical prodigies
were wont to introduce themselves
to London, to town halls in the
suburbs, which formerly echoed to
nothing but the burblings of local
politics and the warblings of the
school children's Christmas cantata,
are being leased by business men on
the track of the British dancing
public's shekels.

A Daring Robbery

Shot by Boy

Starr could have shot the boy a.
he came toward him, but he had
good target further down the street
in one of his old enemies, deputy
sheriff. The boy fired and Starr
fell heavily, bullet in his hip. Louis
Estes, Starts chief lieutenant and
leader of the attack on the other
bank, also dropped with a bullet in
his hip. The other bandits took
alarm and got away.
In a doctors office over the bank
he had robbed Starr was laid out
on the table.
Sure, Pm Henry Starr" he said,
What did the kid shoot me with! I!
When they told him he grumbled.
"A hog gun, eh? And a kid, too
/ wouldn't have minded if it had been
a man and a regular gun meant for
humans
For this robbery Starr was sen
fenced to another twenty-five years
in the Oklahoma penitentiary. -Four
years later he was out again, pa

good behavior.

Killed a Detective

From the rather dusty records Of
the early zoos it appears that he
did. As leader Of a youthful gang
that would dare anything once, he
planned and committed more crimes
to the working day than any of the
veteran crooks of the West had ever
thought possible. Finally he shot
and killed Floyd Wilson, detective
who caught up with him on lonely
load. Afterward he said that he
had promised himself never to shoot
man except in self-defense.
Throughout the rest of his career as
a desperate he never took another
life.

WEST VIRGINIA WAR
 IS RESUMED AGAIN
STRIKERS CLASH WITH ARMED DEPUTIES IN LOGAN
 COUNTY.

State Police Headquarters. Ethel, w. Na.-Five men fell in an encounter between an armed band and state troopers on Beach creek, Logan coun- ty, near the Boone-Logan county line. Capt, J. R. Brockus, commanding state police and deputy sheriffs,a reported.
 There was much shooting on each side. he said Whether all the men who fell were killed, Captain Brockus was unable to say. He added that af- ter his men had seen those who had fallen picked up and carried away by their companions. the state troopers and deputies retired. because some of their number were in civilian clothes and it was difficult to distin- guish them in the darkness from the men comprising the armed band.
 The clash was at close range. ae- cording to Captain Brocuks' report, the men firing at each other when but eight to 10 feet apart Before the fight, Captain Brocuks said II pris- oners had been taken by the pa.
  gan, ostensibly toward Blair and Sharples Four of the prisoners es' capped during the engagement, 1t was said, and one of the mis believed to have been killed.
 Captain Brocuks was at the head of the advance guard of troopers and deputies. It was this detachment, comprising 12 men, that engaged the armed band. The patrol, while pro- ceeding toward Sharples, Captain Brockus reported, ran across five men afoot All were armed with rifles, and one had a shotgun.
 He said he had talked with man who came from Sharples after the battle had taken place and this man said that some miners were killed but was unable to tell whether all five of the men had been fatally wounded.
 Captain Brockus said that later re ports from Sharples indicated that the state police had played in luck in stopping where they did.
 We learned from Sharples that there were between 1 300 and 2.000 armed miners waiting for us to walk into a trap" Captain Brocuks said and if we had advanced it seems as. sured a very serious situation would have developed
 , All along the way. the state police officer explained. "potshots" were be. ing taken at the officers from men hid. den in houses and in ambush.

GERMANY SIGNS
 SEPARATE PEACE
PACT HEPUD!ATES CLAUSES OF VERSAILLES COVENANT BUT
 HOLDS ALL RIGHTS.

Washington. - The treaty of peace with Germany negotiated by Presi- dent Harding and Secretary of State Hughes in lieu of the rejected treaty Of Versailles has been signed in Der lin and made public at the American State Department.
 The treaty carries out the stipula- tions of the peace resolur,on adopted by Congress and approved ty the president of the United States July ?, 1921. and provides that this govern ment shall have all the rights and ad- vantages which were specified in that resolution
 The treaty explicitly provides that the United States shall be entirely disassociated from the League of Ma action that the league has taken or may take in the future. and 1t binds Germany to all the important repara- tions and economic clauses. the dis armament provisions and other essen. ffal obligations insofar as they af- feet the United States which were specified in the Versailles treaty which was approved by the allied and associated powers.
 The treaty does not become effec tive until ratified by the Senate of the United States and Germany can not be resumed. lnaSmuch as the Senate is m recess until September 2l. President Harding cannot submit the pact. but it will be sent to the Senate immediately when it recon venes and ratification is confidently expected without much delay. Mem bers of the Foreign Relations Commit tee have had the provisions of the treaty read and explained to them by the president and Secretary Hughes Representatives of all Republican fac tions which developed during the dis cussion of the Versailles treaty have declared themselves satisfied with the pact and even some of the Demo cratic leaders have admitted that the l president and his secretary of state have accomplished a great diplomatic achievement. Opposition, therefore is expected to be little more than per functory from any source.

MONSTER AIR CRAFT WRECKED
 BY EXPLOSION
BETWEEN FORTY AND FIFTY KILLED WHEN GIANT DiRiG-
 IBLE COLLAPSES.
THOUSANDS SEE TRAGEDY
United States Commander MaxfieId and British General Maitfield Are Among the Victima-No
 American Rescued.

Hull, England.-Seventeen officers and men of the United States navy and 27 officers and men of the Brit ish navy met death in the collapse of the great dirigible ZR-2 over the city of Hull U. S. Commander Maxfield and British General Maitfield were among the victims
 Every one of the Americans on board the ill-fated craft perished as far as could be ascertained
 Only five men of the 49 who wers making the trial trip in the dirigible prior to the vessel being turned over to the United States navy are known to have been saved.
 While flying about 1000 feet over Hull, spectators saw the ZR-2 seem- lngly buckle amidships and plunge downward over the city and into the Humber river. One theory of the cause of the disaster is that while the ships rudders were being tested the giant craft took a sharp turn which caused her framework to buckle and that the explosion of gasoline tank completed the tragedy The actual cause, however. never may be known. A rumor has been afioat for several days that the ZR2 was structurally weak. but this was stoutly denied by all In authority
 Tens of thousands of spectators saw several men climb outside the balloon and drop from the falling mass, which was enveloped in smoke. and others jumped into the Humber as the crippled craft came over the water As the dirigibe struck the wreckage above water was burning. ana there was slight chance for any or the men caught inside to escape.
 rugs immediately put out into the stream and brought ashore the five survivors, who were taken in ambu lances to hospitals. Among these was the American quartermaster. N. o.

 An eye witness of the tragedy says the airship was just over center of the pier and had been noticed to be dipping for some time Suddenly tho nose end seemed to break away from the body and the ship broke in half. One or two parachutes were seen fall. ing before it. The airship touched wa ter as one-half exploded. and a few feet under water there was a second roar, The explosions were like two huge rockets bursting in the air. When the mass of the airship touched the water of the Humber huge col umn of flame and smoke was all that could be seen.
 As result of the explosions a great amount of damage was done to win. dows in the central part of Hull. also in the streets adjacent to the pier.
