CorpSeS Robbed of
Silk Burial Gowns
BERLIN, Feb. IS.


STRIPPING the black silk burial
gowns from the corpses Of wo-
men intrusted to him for crema-
ton is the crime for which Karl
Lehman, a crematorium inspector
in Melningen. has been sentenced
to three years imprisonment.
The evidence shows that the in
spector was not engaged In a COM
mercial enterprise as his booty was
not converted into money. but his
female relatives were presented
with the garments thus rescued
from the flames. Any one familiar
with the tragically depleted plight
Of the German woman's wardrobe
since the war might be inclined to
find justification for this ghoulish
crime from a standpoint Of pure
expediency, but the law does not
base Its findings upon such extern

WHAT will M. Poincare ~
about votes for women7 Not
long before he became Primo Min
lister he declared himself In favor
of women's suffrage. Already the
ardent suffragettes of France have
given him a reminder in a tactful
woman's way.
They tell M. Poincare how de-
hghtful they are at his succession
to power. say many nice things,
and finally declare they are quite
sure he will lose no time in push
ing forward women's right to vote.
The Chamber Of Deputies has
already passed a bill for women's
suffrage, but the Senate still needs
convincing. So NJ. Poincare is be-
tween the suffragettes and the
Senate.
NOTHING pleases NJ. Poincare,
Frances new prime minister,
when work Is done more than Il
good game OF dominoes. He is an
expert player. too. and easily beats
the President, NJ. Millerand, who,
though also fond of the game, is
but an indifferent player.
Marshal Foch, however, IL M.
Poincare's fayorite opponent. and
in days past the two have spent
hours in doughty battles with
dominoes.
The gallant marshal. despite his
ability as a stratesist. is. however.
no match for NJ. Poincare. whose
skill seems little less than magical,
and no wins his .ame nine times

he declares that he is able by q
glance at a woman's foot to tell

whether she is faithful or other
