"The Bogardi," as the descendants
of Everardus Bogardus are called,
scattered as they are through Loudon-
Vile. Schenectady, Schaghticoke, Cox
sackie, Coeymans. Rhinebeck and
Yonkers, these Bogardi may now turn
covetous eyes away from Trinity
Church and certain backyards off
Wall street and lower Broadway.
which for generations they kave
claimed they owned as the descend
ants of Anneke Jams, who was mar
ried to BogardIls, pastor of seven
teenth century New Amsterdam.
Princess Anneke's father-she had
a Dutch courtesy title-had otEer es-
tates of great value. But when she
married not the pastor but her pre-
vious husband. her father, Prince
WoIfert Webbert cut off her and her
progeny until the seventh: generation.
Some of the seventh generation have
learned of this and have gone to take
a look at these estates. They say that
the only drawback to them is that the
cannibals living thereon showed such
great appreciation for the white civil
ization that the last two exponents
thereof sent thther as agents never
rC turned. The estates are not at the con-
fuence of Broadway and Wall street but
in the interior of Dutch Borneo and the
q Fiji Islands. Outside of anthropological
membranes they are worth 100000
600.
One of the claimants. as one of the
seventh generation of the Princess An
neke, is Mrs. Mandrock Moaha. who
has been to Borneo and the Fits with
her husband looking over the estates

When she pressed her claims with the

Three Plymouth boys also claim to
be of the seventh generation. Eight
years ago an advertisement appeared
in the Western Daily Mercury, Plym-
outh, seeking the heirs of Samuel Web
ber. born in Okehampton in 1888.
Many Webbers made Inquiries. But
about that time came the war and the
Austrian attorney responsible for the
advertisement disappeared. One Ralph

Paris, April 3.
The latest proposal for bringing about
a compromise between the Vatican and
the Italian Government comes from
Spain. where It ls seriously proposed
that the Papacy abandon the idea OF a
temporal kingdom In Italy and instead
should appeal to France to restore the
ancient sovereignty Of the Vaucluse dis
trict, which formerly was under Papal
jurisdiction. Thus the Pope would re-
main In the Vatican. but would be able
to rival other sovereigns by being the
temporal King OF Vaucluse.
The amusing aspect OF this serious
proposition IS that the district Is now
represented In the French Parliament by
Alexandra Blanc, a Communist Deputy.

As result of a referendum just held
by the students of French universities
it appears that large majority are
against the proposal to allow women to
vote and become members of the French
Parliament The crusade for woman
suffrage is just taking a new lease of
life In France and its supporters hoped
to obtain strong support among the ris-
ing generation, having begun to conduct
propaganda campaign among univer-
sity and high school students.
They are therefore greatly disap-
pointed over the first result. which is all
the more unfavorable because the girl
students for various reasons are just as
much opposed 10 equal rights as are the
boys. The strongest prejudice. however.
is among the shopkeepers. Grocery
store proprietors said that French
women already have all the necessary
mower In the home and in business.
They Insist that a campaign in favor OF
woman suffrage viii only serve to arouse
stronger masculine opposition. with the
result that women will lose rather than

Of Marshal Foch in the attacking
army, can be believed. The declara-
tion of war took place some three
weeks ago at Nice, but the headquar-
tiers have now been removed to quiet
street. the Rue de Faubourg Saint
Honore. The war makers are the
women who have suffered at the
hands of the "tyrant man" and have
decided to destroy them wherever they
are found.
No nasty male weapons are to be
used. Instead every member OF the
league has to take an oath to make at
least one man thoroughly unhanpy-if
possible drive him to drink, suicide or
some other painful ending. At present
the membership numbers only forty. but
Nine. Brander is convinced that as soon
as a proper propaganda campaign Is
under way the movement will spread
throughout the world. She places great
hopes In the United States, where she
expects to start a branch early in the

Among the warlile methods proposed
is to start an international blacklist OF

has injured in getting revenge.

the national headqus rtcrs where anJ
injured woman can leave an anonymous
accusation which will be investigated by
the headquarters staff. and II 1t is con-
sidsrcd~ assuitabe case the whole mem
bership win beturned loose on the black
hearted scoundrel.
Meanwhile the just will suffer equally
with the unjust. In leisure moments the
league members will devote their ener-
gies to thinking out ways TO make
wretched the life of the tyrant man gem
orally. so that sooner or later he will
be only too glad to vacate the usurped
throne and abandon the management OF
the world to the more capable hands OF
the gentler sex. II is stated that the
membership already includes French.
