Mrs. Russell, who was brought UP
in the Latin quarter Of Parik and
was presented to court by her hus-
bands mother, Lady Amthill, de-
clafed that Russell became the
father Of the child after "Hunnish"
scenes in December, 1920. A wit

something like cave.man tactics.
Mrs. Russells lifelong friend,
Maude Acton, testified against Mrs.
Russell and quoted har as saying
In 1921:
"I have never allowed my hus.
band to become familiar with me
and do not mean to-"
Later in the same year Mrs. Rus

Millerand Names Three New
MarshaIs During
Festivities.

PARIS, July 1.-THE crash of
artillery. firing salutes, ushered in
the national birthday Of French in
dependence today. 1t was observed
IN pre-war style and not since the
armistice has this city seen such
crowds and such enthusiasm.
There was monster procession.
The Paris post Of the American
Legion, which had failed to turn
out on the Fourth of July, marched
with the poilus.
At Longchamps. where there was
an imposing military review, the
crowds began to gather at vantage
points early in the day.
The picked troops of the French
republic began filing before the
tribunes at o'clock. There were
marines with broad, blue sailor col
lars, looking for all the world like
good children dressed for Sunday
school; two battalions of chasseurs,
just back from Upper Sllesia, where
they had been on police duty keep
ing the Poles and Germans from
each others throats; sharpshooters
from Indo. China; black troops from
the Senegal, very picturesque with
their bright uniforms and Jet black
face and their little red caps: but
the most interest was reserved for
the regulars-the ordinary French
soldiers in their horizon blue UNI
forms.
It was perhaps the most impress
sive ever seen here as President Mil
lerand stepped from his tribune to
present the baton Of a marshal Of
France to Generals Lyautey, Fay
ellie, and Franchet dEsperey.

Spoofs Diaz Plans.

When asked how he regarded the
movement of Gen. Felix Diaz to start
another revolution to regain the
presidency, De La Huerta clenched
his hands, and in biting words, said.
When l was president Of Mexico
my troops took Felix Diaz prisoner
on a charge Of fomenting a revolu-
ton. 1 had him completely in my
power. I might have had him shot,
but / gave him his life. He now
repays that gift by seeking to de-
stroy the present government and
set up himself as dictator. Presi-'
dent Obregon is a just man and not
easily led to anger, but If Felix Diaz
ever again crosses the Rio Grande
with arms in a movement against
the present administration, and is
captured, it is altogether probable
he will head no more revolutions.
But l prefer to talk of more
serious matters. The movement to
which you refer Is known to exist
only in the minds of some people
here in New York"

UERTADOUBTS
FUNDING WILL
HELP OBREGON
Minister of Finance Hints Only
Recognition Will Develop
Trade.
By JOHN G. KLEIN,
CosmopolitaD News Service.

NEW YORK, July 14.-Alfonso de
la Huerta, Mexican minister of
finance, just before his departure for
Mexico City today, refused to believe
his conclusion of an agreement with
foreign bankers regarding funding OF
Mexican loans, or his parleys with
American oil interests, would lead to
the recognition of Mexico by the
American Government.
II do not believe our financial
agreement with the committee of
international bankers has any bear
ing on our international policy, al
though no doubt It may have some
influence on the general feeling of
the American public toward the pres
ent administration of Mexico" he
said.
Asked IL the rights of Americans
in Mexico hereafter would not be
more fully respected, the former pro-
visional president Of Mexico retorted:
Foreign interests. legally devel-
oped. will always be respected in my
country"
Only Recognition Needed.
Asked IL the return Of Mexican
railroads to private management
would help business, he replied:
"I do not believe the return Of
railroads, of which the Mexican gov
ernment owns the greater part Of
stock. to private management, will
have any bearing on international
trade. That trade will only be
greatly developed when hindrances
of a political nature, by which we
are internationally affected (recog-
nition) are removed.
What reasonable guarantees will
be given foreign capital to enter
Mexico?" he was asked.
Business men making invest
ments in Mexico now have full
guarantees and assurances" he
answered, with some show Of irri-
tation. THE difficulties which for
eigners may encounter in their ac-
tivities are analogous to those exist
ing in this country"
When asked what would be the
attitude of Mexicans il, by some
circumstance, the United States
should be forced to intervene in
Mexico, De La Huerta, a six-foot,
powerfully built man, half arose,
with eyes flashing, and said:
I'm such an event, all the par
ties now In discord in Mexico would
unite to repel the invader. Let
there be no doubt of that. We are
quite well equipped to conduct our
own affairs, without interference
by anyone. We do not seek or re-
quire outside advice to guide US on
/ domestic matters"

the work was the suggestion OF the
meeting.
1t was brought out in the address
that Virginia has more volunteer
workers for it's size than any state
in the Union and that these workers
are getting unusual results.
"Virginians could not give TO q

knights of Columbus

"The world does change" Benedict
XIV, sovereign pontiff, of the Catho-
lie Church has passed to his eternal
reward, and Catholics and Protestants
throughout the world honor and revere
his memory as one Of Christ's valiant
sons and as a lover and defender of
humanity. The mythical Pope concern
ing which the Imagination Of so many
has conceived such erroneous ideas,
is supplanted by the real Benedict
who has ever proved himself a lover
of freedom, Humanity and Peace. An
intellectual of the highest type, his
physical frame was quite deceptive,
Tor despite its objective fraility, the
Holy Father has during his long life
of 50 years spent but AZ cents in medi-
cine. 1t is said that the Holy Father
was particularly fond of Americans
and things American; and those of
the Knights of Columbus who made
the tour to France and Rome in 1919
bear everlasting witness to the solen-
nifty and grandeur and heartiness Of
the audience that His Holiness grant
ed TO the two hundred and fifty
knights of Columbus who enjoyed
that wonderful tour. The sovereign
nontltf well appreciated the work that
the Knights CT Columbus were doing
IN the promotion of American ideals
and IN the inculcation of personal vir-
tues, and knowing this, it was easily
to conclude that his blessings upon
the order would flow as natural
course.
The council is deeply appreciative
OF the cooperation that is being
given them by the lady relatives and
friends of the local organization. Wo-
men have peculiar treat of always
helping the bearded sex, and by Their
tlrelessness enabling their masculine
co-humans to achieve ends otherwise
probably that would never be accom-
paished. We particularly refer to the

CHILD LABOR DAY

The return of Child Labor Day,
observed annually on the last Sum
day of January, calls attention to the
conditions surrounding the child
worker on the farm, as shown in
studies recently made by the United
States Department Of Labor through
the Children's Bureau.
In sections Of the Texas cotton belt
included in these studies, young
children work at hocing and chopping
the cotton, and even at heavier kinds
of field work, such as blowing, har-
rowing, and cultivating. Practically
every child ten years Of age or over
IN the sections studied was employed
in the fields at some time during the
year; ten hours or more was the aver
age working day, during the season,
reported for more than half the chill
dren, and many reported an average
working day Of II hours or even
longer. Although most of the chill
dren worked only a few months, much
OF the work falls at time when school
is in session. Teachers reported that
half or third of the children who
should have been in school by Sep
TENDER did not register until No
vember or later. IIllteracy on the
part of father or mother or both was
reported for ITO 0 per cent of the
white families and about third of
the colored families visited. Many
of the coming generations will be like
wise handicapped if field work con-
tlnues to keep them out of school.
