"Gineral yes suh," faltered Fiddle Face
"Figgered you wuz still in dat dugout."
"You what" roared the general, his face
assuming the color Of ripe tomato.
Fiddle Face" whispered Slue Foot, dat
dugout crack wuz bad break. When dem

cumber ole earth, keeps youah eahs open, mouf

THE general became conscious of the fact that
all Of the German prisoners were clutch
ing pamphlets in their trembling hands. The
pamphlets, somehow, seemed familiar. He
leaped from the car, snatched one of the
pamphlets from prisoner, and hastily glanced
at it. For the general the world shifted
little on its axis. They were the pamphlets
he had prepared; his cherished brain children.
The Joy OF the true creative artist bubbled up
in his soul, and made the general almost
human.
g n me n Fiddle Face envelopes dem
fightin' fools right dar in dat holler," Slue
Foot's boasting broke through the generals
military meditaticns. "Wham! Dem Bush boys

Major" cut in the general, addressing Ole
Cap'n, do you read German?"
Captain, sir" corrected that military dplo-
mat. mo sir, do not read German"
Major said" roared the general "and

Wh0v Was Washmgton Married?

Charity were quartered in its "six rather small
rooms while hundreds of white sailed warshps
sailed up and down the nearby Pamunkey River
On June Is, 1862, the Federal Army received
orders to evacuate the White House plantation
and remove from it all Government stores Tuo
days later 700 vessels anchored and were being
stored with Federal supplies and the sick and
wounded when Gen. Stoneman received news
that the enemy was but six miles away, and
then. according to Lowther's history of Mount
Vernon, "the wild excitement began which was
to end in tragedy for the historic old mansion"
From the maze Of conflicting reports it is hard
to tell just what did happen, but during the
Federal Army's hasty evacuation the White
House caught fire, some say by accident, and
it burned to the ground.
Although its one-time neighbor the White
House, is gone, old St. Peters Church still
stands, much as 1t was in the days when Wash
ington courted the Widow Gusts. In this
church he undoubtedly attended services as
happy young bridegroom while living at the
White House.
st. Peters is not merely an interesting old
church, 1t is hallowed by agsold traditions of
George and Martha Washington and their kin,
and it may have been the real marriage place
of the first President of the United States.

"The different governments of the world are

AS long as you have armies custom houses and

"A spy, however, to appear and actually to.
be romantic must not work for money He
must not be heot He must be working for
an ideal-a patriot and not professional en-
gagged in espionage.
4 have written about different type of spy
This man was De Batz most romantic figure
a secret agent of the Bourbons In Paris during
the Revolution He moved with extraordinary
freedom and took amazing risks I tried to give
historically true picture of him. He is so
romantic figure. however. that one might
imagine that he was simply a creature of fiction.
I think he is romantic figure chiefly be-
cause he took such risks, moving with such
freedom amid overwhelming dangers He was
always surrounded by dangers and he moved
among them in carefree debonair way, gam
bling gloriousy and bravely with his life He
was like man continually walking through

erations. The old house was situated about 20
miles from Williamsburg, on rich 5000 acre
plantation, which bordered on the Pamunkey
River. Daniel Parke Gusts, the first husband
Of Martha Washington, inherited the estate
from his father a few months before he mar
ried the lovely Martha. Young Custis took her
to the White House as his bride in l749.
Here Martha Custis lived for eight happy
years. In this house her four children were
born, and here two Of them and her husband
died This was her home when, as a widow, she
was courted by George Washington, and here,
many say, she was married to him. Here, too,
she spent her second honeymoon. Four months
after his marriage Washington took his seat as
burgess in the Virginia Assembly, which held
its sessions at nearby Williamsburg. and it was
not until the late Spring that he took his bride
to his own home, at Mount Vernon.
Despite its sacred traditions of love and ro-
nance the White House was destroyed by fire
during the Civil War, regardless of Gen. Nc
Clellan's avowed intention to protect it, The
old mansion, after its early period of romance,
remained to be the scene of an exciting episode
in the Civil War, when its spacious lawns were
covered with Army tents and the Sisters Of

heroes, romantic figures who will stimulate and
hold the public's imagination. That Is why I
say this is the psychological hcur for such a
man to appear, although so far there is no sign
Of his emergence. There is nothing even to
indicate that he is on his way now when the
world would welcome him.
THE French Revolution supplied a great
many heroes. Ofttimes great wars furnish
them, but If you look for them, say, among
the generals of the last great war you will not
find them. Nor among any of the war figures.
AS for the spies, while spies are always roman

i'l low do you explain why the world Is

dered.
Because the money organization has gone
wrong, and the world is bankrupt" came the
answer. In other words, debts have to be
written down. Production is being paralyzed by
prices too low to yield profit or pay living
wage, and producers are therefore unable to

KIDNAPERS HOLD
RICH PHYSICIAN
Husband of Oil Heiress Is
Lured by Phone Call.

By United Press
ST. LOUIS, April 21.-Willingness
to pay almost any ransom for the
return, unframed, of her husband,
DR.. Isaac D. Kelley, wealthy physi-
cian-lured from his home appar-
emily by kidnapers in a thunder
storm Monday night-was expressed
today by Mrs. Kelley.
She is heiress to a large oil for
tune.
The doctors large black coupe, in
which he drove away in answer to
what he believed telephone emer-
gency call, was found abandoned
six miles in the country.
Kelleys medicine case was in the
car. Smudgy footprints indicated
two other men had ridden with the
doctor.
Police theorized that Kelley was
kidnapped as he drove out Of the
estate, and never reached the house
to which he had been called.
The apparent kidnapping was the
ninth in recent months here, and
the latest in a series of similar
crimes through the middle west.
Five gamblers have been kidnapped
here recently, and repeatedly paid
ransoms totaling more than $4,000
before released.
