London, Feb. 7-Una Han1ey, a young, lovely, attractive girl, set out world. She detested. and desired re- venge upon. the fabric of society. She became a creature of circumstance, not caring what became of herself and impervious to the sufferings of those she tranmpled under foot.
 She broke mems hearts merely for the fun of the thing. And with each broken heart she laughed compla- gently, knowing that another step In her scheme of revenge had been taken.
 She robbed men and women of their money. She posed as a daugh- ter of the society which had discard ed her; she committed bigamy, and had the unique distinction of being divorced by two men on the same day.
 Cause of Her Acts.
 What led this delicately-bred Dres- den china type of girl to start on a life which has just led her to six months in jail?
 In one sentence, Una Hanley be- came a. criminal and is now behind prison bars today because she was a nameless child.
 The fact burned itself into her brain. It was the companion of her thoughts by day and dominated her dreams by night.
 She felt the stain upon her as only highly-strung imaginative woman could feel The fact that she would have to suffer throughout life for a sin she did not commit completely transformed her nature. From sweet, SunShiny, warm m-hearted child she became a sour, embittered crea- ture who could see no spark of goodness or chivalry> in any man living.
 It was at school, when about six teen, that she first learned about her history. An i'll natured schoolfelloB repeated the remarks of goSSiping mother. The news spread immedi- ately and the life that Una Hanley led at this boarding school for the next two years can be easily tmag- ined.
 And then came the craving for re- venge. To obtain it complete inds- pendence seemed necessary to her mind. Accordingly, when only nine teen, she married James Alexander Hanley in 1911. He was an agricul- tural chemist and well-Uo-do.

in Utah when the authorities refused to eXtradite her.
 Mrs Robbins then sought to have her husband committed for contempt of court, asserting that he owed sher two months alimony and had violat- ed the divorce decree by, having the child taken from the State for so long a journey. Argument on this appli- cation was adjourned.
 Mrs. Robbins said tearfully:
 ''I don't care whether my husband and this girl are to be married or not. But I do object to my baby be- ing carried across the country by her.
 There were no other women in my husbands life until after we were divorced. Then he met Miss Mclean. I have watched their association, and I noted how carefully the plans for that Western trip were made
 Among the things done to perse- cute me was the custom of Miss Me Lean to drive past my house with my baby in her arms and she fonding him as they went by my windows. This has almost broken my heart"

ENGLAND BENDS ENERGIES
 TO REBU|L DING COMMERCE
Has Finger In Every International Pie, But Mo
 tive Is To End Business Slump.

London, Feb. 7.-Out of the fog of international diplomacy which con- unUously beclouds London there comes but one distinct and constant ray of light as to just what Great Britain wants, and that is a desire for restoration of pre-war trade
 Great Britain has finger in every international pie and her statesmen are earnestly endeavoring to lend their aid in setting straight the ways askew. but back Of all of Britain's efforts is a very apparent motive to secure restoration of trade.
 Cannes |and it's ill-fated conference The Genoa conference will devote it's entire work to the cause of revival of economic conditions. Britain and Lloyd George were prime leaders in both of these movements.
 Britain, however, cannot set to work to cure her own trade depres- sio2 until she has a measure of SUD- port from the rest of Europe, be- cause her statesmen believe that the remedy lies in changing of conditions which are partially controlled by the other Allies.
 Lloyd George, according to cur rent gossip in Whitehall and Downing street, is fully convinced that Great Britain and Europe can not regain U ade normalcy until the marts of Germany and Russia are opened to the world Recent conferences be- tween Hugo Stinnes, German indus derstood to have c1inched this view in the mind of the British Premier.
 Lloyd George, it is generally un- derstood, wants to let down the bars to tighten the burden of both of these nations in order that Great Britain md Europe can regain their trade. HArsin lies thA dahioa1ltH The lar

Washington, Feb. Lords and la dies of the Capitals mansions are en- to suppress judicious yawns, born of fatigue, in the wake of the most strenuous social season Washington has ever known.
 social fever has now developed a sud- den case of social doidrums. Not that the round of functions has less ened perceptib1y, but that the func- lions themselves fail to function with their former fund Of finesse. Mila dy trips behind the palm plant and hid den by it's fronds gives way to titan yawn and then hastens back to her guests, few noting that her winsome smile is more histrionic than sin cere.
 The men. poor fellows. have risen to noble heights in their endeavors to '-see this thing through" and they are to be found night after night at luncheon and tea and tete-a-tete in up to their vows, chatting with de- mure rnadem oiselles or with the el- :Gerly matrons who grace the pie aaIreSQue assemblages that hold forth, every day and night in every Em- shassy, Legation, delegation and in the homes of the elite.
 None had thought the Conference ion Limitation of Armaments would Aheir healthy stocks of cellar goods would be called upon to last so long. sAnd thus those more generous hosts dispensed of their liquid treasure long before the round of gayet1es had come sEo an end.

riers against Germany and Russia can not be removed without the consent of France, and the recent Briand resignation is regarded here as clear ly indicating that the people of France have not yet reached the stage where they can exhibit any sympathy toward either Germany or Russia; nor will they tolerate states men who exhibit such syn1pathies.
 French Not Sympathetic
 The French lost heavily through their financial support of the CZarist Governmen ent; they lost through their support of the anti-Bolsheviks, and now they are content to let Russia struggle along by herself. Their an- tipathy toward Germany will be of long standing. Lloyd George can look for little French sympathy for any clemency for either Russia or Ger many Thus Lloyd George finds him man in the street Eo understand, and the man in the street is interested.
 It is not the statesmen alone in Great Britain who are demanding a trade restoration Everyone is talk ing trade and more trade The news papers are full of bewailing of trade conditions Business men write to their favorite papers to give their views Bankers discuss trade condi- tions woefully Int man who wears the cap of labor wants to know what being done
 There may be pacts and talk of pacts, conference and talk of con ferences, but Great Britain's men in the street want a quick trade restora- ton and David Lloyd George knows it.

A W0AAN'S REVENGE With Anger In Heart, Attractive Girl Sets Out To Make War Upon Society

l His frequent absences from hon2 gave her the opportunity she sought | She began life of fraud and, al- though in no need of money, she ob- tained thousands of pounds from peo-
 pie in Leeds, and the neighborhood. From one man alone she obtained 3,1S5 pounds and netted many thou sands more by cashing worthless l checks.
 l Eventually, to save her from prison, i her husband had to step in and re- pay the money she had obtained It ruined him and he became bankrupt; years she was associated with num- bers of other men, all of good posi- tion. Her charm and attractiven ass kept them enslaved by her side until all their money had gone. Then she threw them aside like a squeezed orange.
 She broke up homes. She drove men to suicide. She wrecked not only the lives of mon but women also.
 And then came another phase. She met General Oliver de Lancey Will ia1ns and bigamously married him. On the strength of his name she se- cured staff appointments at several London hospitals, although without cept those she forged. And still she found time to carry on her vendetta against society.
 For months she, attended opera tons, signed death certificates ana generally lived a life of lies. Then it was accidentally discovered she was pretending to be a qualified doc tor, and apart from being fined 500 pounds, this led to her undoing.
 Her husband entered suit for di- vorce. General Williams, hearing for the first time her entire history, brought suit for nullity. Both men were given their freedom. but Una was indicted for bigamy and served six months,
 She had not been out of prison a week before she had begun her ca reer of fraud again. Enthusiastically in the court she wore a stylish cos She is now serving a second term of six months.
 But those who know her declare that her vendetta against society is still unsatisfied and immediately she is free again she will continue to wreak her vengeance.

when fire was opened on the filmed Biblical history.
 ''It tends to discredit the Bible with the general crowd,'' declared Dr. Mey- CT in attacking the film production. ''Why blast the character of the Queen of Sheba by presenting her as a 'half-clothed courtesan?'
 Defenders of the film were quick to come to the front, and to make matters worse they compared the garb of the film star depicting the Queen of Sheba with the evening creations worn in London theatres and res taurants by the leaders of English society. Nothing could have been said to aggravate the matter more. The merry discussion goes on- The American film continues to draw large crowds.
