Representatives of France and Bel.

Germany denounce the Duisberg out

their lives and assume responsibility
for arrest Of the perpetrators.
Although It is expected that Sc
zero penalties will follow Germany's
refusal-Belgium had sought to make
this a cause for a break 1 n diplomatic
relations : Foreign Minister Rosen-
berg replied the government did not
admit that Germany or Germans were
responsible.
The delegates told Rosenberg their
countries regarded the German gov

activities of extremists in the Ruhr.
The German foreign minister replied
France and Belgium could not

justices occasioned by the Franco
Belgian invasion.
Owing to French restrictions. Ros-
enberg pointed out, the government

r WONDER If women collect

ject OF divorce?
Probably not. It has not begun
to be q factor in a sufficient num-
Der Of lives-in England, ut least
to have assumed the Importance
necessary to make it q burning
public question for women to
tackle.
IL things go on as they appear
to have started, no doubt 1t will
become one, and then those women
who vote and take interest in at
fairs on both sides Of the Atlantic
will divide themselves into diff
ferent sides about It.
: Certainly, 1t In no longer for

In q class Of society which is al

abundantly availed themselves Of
the greater facilities for getting

notion Of divorce is becoming

The subconscious mind of the
mass Of women still accepts mar

prompts certain courses of action
in the way Of making the best of

no way out Of It.

A woman still marries man
with the thought that they will

But in ten years time she will

by that time we had discov-
cred to whom the tomb belonged,
or at all events to whom all this
furniture belonged, and it GER
tainly looked as though these
statues were guarding something.
ANOTHER ENTRANCE.
I'VE then found another en-.
trance carefully sealed over, and
in the middle OF this sealing was
small opening just big enough
to allow a small man to get in.
We at once said: This is where
the body must be, behind this
wall, and no doubt thieves have
entered by means Of this very
small hole There is absolutely
no doubt that the tomb was rob-
bed, and think l may say with
out q shadow Of doubt that the
silver and gold, and probably the
bronze vessels, were all taken.
think that, strangely enough,
glass was taken, too, because,
although I have not seen a hun
dredth part Of the things even in
the first chamber yet, I did not
see any glass, but in the passage
leading down we found two bits
Of broken glass, proving that
glass had certainly been there,
and was either broken going in or
coming out. Glass In the Eigh-
teenth Dynasty was a valuable
commodity, and It is quite posi-
BILE that that was robbed as well.
OTHER PROSPECTS.
Behind these two statues,
which are most wonderfully
carved. have no doubt that we
shall find the body Of the king.
and I do not think he will have
been excessively robbed I think
probably most OF the gold and
massive silver will have been
taken, but I do not think the
Itinerary furniture will have been
touched. All this Is rather specu.
lation on my part, but from va
rious Indications. such as the very
small holes that have been made,
I do not think large things have
been taken out-only such things
as gold, silver, vases, and other
odds and ends.

when we cleared the whole thing

the people had been in a great

conclusion that war was decided

notes this indication, senseless as
it was, and places all his emphasis
upon it-as if he was not aware
that Austria-Hungary deliberately
delayed sending it's ultimatum to
Serbia until after my departure
from st. Petersburg, in order to
leave me entirely ignorant of
what was going on.

FRENCH CHEMISTS
POWDER ALCOHOL,
TO DEFY u. S. LAWS

A PROCESS for manufacturing
powdered alcohol has been
discovered in France and a COM
pany has been formed with the
object Of making large quantities
for export to the United States.
According to the inventor. one
Marcel Robert, the powder has
only to be mixed with water to
give liquid alcohol Of any desired
strength.
A few grains in the bottom Of
O glass. with hot water added,
viii. when 1t 10 cool, he states,
produce half q pint Of diluted
alcohol.
The powders are to be given
various flavors by which the
simple addition Of water will. it
Ia alleged. produce almost any
known drink. Flavors now an
nounced include ver1nouth, Ben
0dictine, Grand Mariner. Char
treuse and liqueur brandy. Later
1t IL hoped to initiate to a fair de-
gree Of accuracy mixed drinks,
including Martini and Manhattan
cocktails.
What sounds like a bootlegger's
dream may. however, be pre-
vented from execution, at least
as regards America, by action Of
United States prohibition enforce.
ment officers. Robert declares
that he has investigated and
found that the introduction OF
these powders would not be
against the law, because they are
not intoxicating liquids.
I'm fact" he declared, lit isn't
absolutely necessary to mix the
powders with water. You can eat
them with bread and get the
same kick"
For some reason, however, other
French chemists are skeptical.
