KING ADMIRER
OF i. 5. DEBS
ON 1920 TOUR

From his earliest manhood, King
Edward VIII has shown marked
preference for American girls.
His first real acquaintance with
the fair sex Of this country was
in 1919. when, as the Prince Of
Wales, he paid an extended visit
to the United States.
Likes to Dance
Being a young man at the time
and paSsionately fond of dancing,
the Princes most enjoyable men,
orieS of his American visit were
of those more or less informal af-
fairs where he had opportunity to
trip the light fantastic with the
country's most outstanding young
debutantes.
During his brief sojourn in the
Capital, the prettiest and most
talented "debbies" of the day lit
orally danced attendance" on his
pleasure.
There was the beauteouS Mill
cent Rogers, daughter OF the late
Col. H. H. Rogers, Standard Oil
magnate, who was included on
every party arranged to amuse the
Prince during his visit to this
country.
She was one Of the quartette OF
young society girls commanded
to White Sulphur Springs as q
sort Of. wind-up "off-the-record"
weekend scheduled by the Princes
unofficial hosts and hostesses Tor
his special entertainment.
Others on that party, chaper-
oned by the late Mrs. Horace
Westcott, of Washington, were
Margaret Harding. daughter OF
w. p. G. Harding, former gov
ernor Of the Federal Reserve
Bank; Jane Story and Mildred
Bromwell.
Millicent Rogers has had a
kaleidoscope career since she flrSt
danced with the fair-haired youth
who became England'S King.
Thrice q Bride
Thrice married, her first huS-
band was Count Ludwig Salm
Won HoogStraten, Of Vienna, from
whom she was divorced in 1927,
and her second, Arturo Ramos
from whom she was divorced IN
1885. She is at present the wl1e
of Ronald Balcom, New York STOCK
broker.
Margaret Harding's brilliantly
begun career ended in her deatn
in 1924 in Boston.
Mildred Bromwell, tall, slim and
graceful, was one of the faVorite
dancing partners of the prince, moi
only during his visit here but in
New York and later in London at
a great ball at LanSdowne House
She has since married q daSh1ns
Britisher, Capt. Sidney r. Bailey
naval attache of the British EN-
bassy, and once on the staff Of
Admiral Beatty.
The first girl to make an i'm
preston on His Royal HighneSS
during his Washington visit was
lovely Nancy Lane. daughter Of
the Secretary Of the Interior In
the Wilson cabinet. The. prince
met her at a luncheon given by
French Ambassador Jules Jusser
and the day Of his arrival.

URGES
EMBARGO IN
ALL WARS

BUENOS AIRES, Dec. 9 G.N.S),
Withhold all supplies, including
food, from aggressor nations,
Bolivia proposed yesterday to a
committee of the Inter-American
Peace Conference.
Bolivia's drastic plan to avert
war in the New World also would
impose extreme economic sane
tions on belligerents.
Peruvian Plan
A Peruvian proposal also was
offered, dealing both with Amer
lean and non-American aggres-
sorS. 1t was similar to the Boil.
Wan idea except that it provided
that in realizing the demands of
humanity" it would permit ship
ment of food to belligerents but
limit such shipments to the aver
age of the previous five-year
period.
The two proposals were submit
ted to be studied by the congress
for throttling war and both sug-
gested in the event of war an i'm
mediate ban on the flotation OF
any loans by the aggressors in sig
natory states, thus cutting off the
main source of supply for war
materials from other countries
that might be willing to sell the
same.
Proposed by U. S.
A United States project was sub
mitted to provide for the eX'
change of two university gradu-
ates among all American Repub-
lies yearly. 1t also would provide
for an interchange Of professors,
The Peruvians also filed a pro
posal for an all-American League
of Nations, as had been previously
announced. The members would
appoint experts and a general
committee for unifying all exist
ing peace treaties.
Still a third Peruvian project
asked for the elimination of the
section of the Washington treaty
of 1929 under which neutrals
would not be permitted to offer
mediation until all Cancellation
attempts had failed. The plan
suggests that delays in offering
mediation might give time fol
"animosity to develop" that would
make friendly gestures from out
side too late to prevent war.
Patent Ratification
Cuba proposed a resolution rati
flying the existing agreements on
trademarks and patents on the
ground that this would facilitate
commerce and in that way be ar
aid to peace.
The Bolivian project. which
dealt solely with inter-American
wars, was presented as several
committees met regardless Of, the
holiday to receive new PROPOSE
tions." All the projects we're filed
with the committees in secret
session."

0iloWed the mans movements dul
ing the entire two weeks prior to
the tragedy, he would discover the
source of the weapon he used.
The detective Immediately acted
on his theory andrdecision. AS soon
as he finished his business with the
secretary, he returned to the Union
Station and at OILS caught train
for Philadelphia.
Three hours later the train depos-
tied him i'll Broad Street Station
and he went directly to City Hall to
complete the necessary formalltles.
Then armed with the warrant, he
departed and walked briskly down
Broad Street to Pine. Here he
turned, and just past 10th Street he
stopped before a bleakly respect
able brownstone house, four stories
high The lower windows were
dark; but a brass shingle on one
front sill-"Dr. Anton Brantman"
indicated that one of the most
eminent specialists in ailments of
the head lived there.
Though it was long after Office
hours, Rankin rang the bell. Five
minutes elapsed before footsteps
echoing along the stairs announced
DR.. Brantman's approach.
Without any comment he led
Rankin into the lofty waiting room
for patients.
Rankin apologized for the intru-
sion and then came directly to the
point. His first query caused DR..
Brantman to shake a solemn head
and tighten his lips with a sigh.
Yes, | was well acquainted with

commiserating sounds. "Only |

He went with Rankin into his

He pointed a finger at a scrawled,
almost illegible notation. Here it
is, two days later, at eight-thirty
pm, on Friday, May twenty-sixth." "
"Of course, doctor, that fits in
perfectly after ALL" declared Ran
kin. "She couldn't have visited you
Wednesday. She was accompanied,
wasn't she, DR.. Brantman?"
At the physicians reply, his face
lighted with a half smile of con-
fdence. After that more eagerly
and rapidly he began to put his
questions, insistent1y pressing upon
DR.. Brantman his startling inspira-
ton.
Finally, the doctor could no long
er contain his uneasiness. II don't

Fifteen minutes later, with he
evidence upon which he relied and
Dr. Brantman as a witness, the de-
tective left the house on Pine Street.
On the warrant in his pocket ne
had filled i'll the criminals name.
His eyes glistened with excitement
as he summoned a taxi. Expert
enced though he was in the pursuit
of wrongdoers, he would have been
less than human not to be stirred
by this momcntous occasion.
He gave the cabman directions
as he climbed in. And on the
way" he directed, "if you notice
cop, stop SO can pick him up"
The taximan obeyed. Near 44th
Street two uniformed men stood on
the corner, conversing, and the taxi
drew up to them. Rankin beckoned
them in; and by the time he had
identified himself and explained
what he expected of them, they
reached their destination.
1t was an exclusive, somewhat
elegant red-brick apartment house,
U-shaped, each of its three wings
having a separate entrance. The
detective dismissed the cab and
selected the entrance into the left
wing, in the vestibule of which ne
paused at the letter boxes.

With that, he pressed the button
beneath the name of the man he
sought; and in moment, buzzing
sound released the catch on the in
ner door. The three men trooped
in, over a red-tiled floor, and, dis
regarding the elevators, ascended
the stairs on the right. On the third
floor, the softly-lighted corridor
stretched in both directions, lined
with regular-spaced, numbered
doors, sc SO close 70 the stairhead
