tee, which is making plans for the
annual Shrine session here next
June, Il is announced by Ellwood T..
Morey, chairman Of the housing and

hotel rooms in Washington will be
available for the use Of the Shriners
next June. Assignment Of hotel
quarters to the various temples, in

Rooms in Private Homes.
After supplying hotel quarters we
have the problem of assigning the
great mass Of individuals to rooms in
private homes" Mr.. Morey said,
I'VE will list every available room
and assign II to the individual before
he leaves his home, with directions
how to reach the room after he ar.
rives at Union Station.
MANY requests have come in for
tire parking of Pullman cars. II is
estimated that between fifteen and
twenty thousand persons will come in
chartered Pullmans, which VIII he
used while here for sleeping quarters.
Scarcely a city in the country Is bet
tee equipped than Washington il for
this purpose. To look after the
W. nts of this class OF visitors will
require the constant attention Of a
large number OF our local members" 4"

Miss Troy's anticle was brought
before Congress, but the furore II
created was hushed up by the vii.
son administration. II was In this
same year that Miss Troy. assisted
by influential friends overseas, in
Guiding Hiram Maxim, the famous
inventor, founded her theater.
Throughout the war Miss Troy's
work was largely charitable. She
went among factory workers and
those stricken by poverty and helped
them. But twice she came to the
foreground in defending her country
against the outbursts Of British
propagandists and brought down on
her head the wrath of official Brit
ain.
She next turned her pen upon a
flaming indictment of American
morals and customs embodied in a
book, entitled "Y., Americas Peril" ."
The "Y." stands for Yankee" and
the volume was a scathing criticism
of the United States. The men were
pictured as degenerates and the
women as little better than harlots.
Some Of Her Criticisms.
Some characteristic paragraphs
from the volume, culled by Miss
Troy. follow:
by the time I had been in the
states a month I began to ask my.
self was any woman in the land to

nized villification of America by an
author Of no standing. The title.
page of the volume shows that II
had been perused and commended
officially by the British government.
Another anti.American writer at
whose bitterness of expression Miss
Troy took exception was A. Maurice
Low, knighted last June, and re-
cipient OF the Imperial Order OF the
Rising Sun for extraordinary serv.
ices rendered TO Japan.
Sir Maurice In Washington corre-
spondent OF the London Morning
Post, known from It's anti.American
tendencies, and he has offices in the
Hibbs building. In his book, The
American People," Sir Maurice. who
at that time was plain Mr.. Low,
wrote of the colonizers of Virginia
and the South:

parts OF the South o dark and bloody

law known is the law Of the rifle

gratuitously, Miss Troy was taken
to Liverpool by a Scotland Yard

During the debate on the four
power pact at the Capitol on the
night Of March 20 last, Senator Tom
Watson OF Georgia spoke In favor Of
Miss Tfoy's writings. He took par.
tiCular exception, to Sir Maurice
Lows statements In regard to the
South.
Encouraged by Senator watson's
address, Miss Troy brought her af-
fairs before her Congressman, Julius
Kahn. and before Senator Reed
Smoot. They tried to aid her by
visits to the State Department. but
their efforts were fruitless.
Miss Troy brought to, the State
Department letters OF introduction
from nationally known members Of
Congress to Secretary Hughes. They
were turned back to her, and she
was told that Secretary Hughes
would not be Interested
State Department officials declare
they took up Miss Troy's case with

The Department OF State has
not seen fit to give definite answers
to these questions. Prominent
members of Congress have assisted
Miss Troy in her investigation, but
the results have been negligible.
Postoffice Pushes Charges.
Chief Inspector Simmons Of the
Postoffice Department. by the
way. is looking into Miss Troy's
charges that mail from England
addressed to her in Washington
has been opened and inspected
without cause in the United States
Other mail. she declares, has been
searched in England. but the Post
office Department authorities have
no control over that situation.
Miss Troy has a widely patrOnized
motion picture theater at Croydon,
Surrey, ten miles from London. She
organized the theater company and
controls four.fifths Of the stock
During the world war more rhan
250, 900 Tommies were admitted 10
the playhouse free Of charge. Now
Miss Troy finds thatN business ssso'
ciates are trying to force the theater
company into a receivership. At the
same time she has many offers TO
purchase the property.
In the ordinary course OF events,
Miss Troy would have no difficulty In
disposing OF her theater. She Is
represented In Croydon by solicitor,
armed with power of attorney. But
what good is q solicitor when trans.
Atlantic mail is held up and often
never delivered? Miss Troy cannot
return to England because OF her de-
portation. She asks only to settle
her affairs ae1icably and stay in the
country Of her birth.
Miss Troy was horn in California
and was graduated with high hon
ors from Notre Dame College, Snn
Francisco. In 1908, at the request
OF william T. Stead. the noted
Journalist, she went to England to
pursue her Literary career.
Aside from her writingJ Miss
Troy engaged In charity and at
tracted wide notice during the
great London dock strike in 1919
when she fed thousands of chill
dren whose fathers were out Of
work. This act of mercy was In
terpreted later by British propa.
gandists as the first step toward
a revolution.
Criticizes Ambassador Page.
Again she came into public at.
tention when she fearlessly told In
various, American newspapers OF an
address by Walter Hines Page
American ambassador to England
In the first year. Of his service
1918. Page was quoted as making
remarks distinctly derogatory 10
the nation he served, and the regu
