around one of the cash-and-carry
markets, there was another sem
sation. Everyone wondered what
the great lady would buy and
usually 1t was the last article
they would have guessed. She
came mostly when the market
advertised a bargain sale in
baked beans. With astonish-
ment they watched the chauffeur
stagger out with case after case.
Fantastic were the tales they
told. 1t was undoubtedly true
that Emily wore all her jewels
to bed, except the huge tiara.
which may have been the cheap
est way of watching them, Hard
ly can il have been economy that
made her stop bathing, though
those rings may have been at the
bottom of il. She hated TO take
them off at any time and to
wash ones hands with jewels on
them leaves a film which dims
their sparkle. II is hard to wash
ones face without getting the
hands wet and to take a bath
without doing so is impossible.
One maid stated that instead
Of washing her face Emily put
on layer after layer of makeup,
until it began TO peel off like old
paint Then she rubbed II off
with a paper napkin and applied
new coat. Nevertheless, every
morning the maid drew a bath
for her mistress, heard splashing
sounds and later found a wet
bath towel and wet footprints on
the bathroom floor.
This was evidence that would
have convinced any jury, but one
maid had seen other and more
convincing evidence to the con-
trary and became an amateur de-
tective. Several times the wet
footprints were missing and
once, when she called her mis-
tress 70 the telephone, the lady
stopped her splashing and came
out in a few seconds perfectly
dry. But, quite mirculously. 80
were all the towels. Finally the
maid contrived a way TO spy on
her and saw, as she suspected,
that Emily was perpetrating the
well-known child's trick Of taking
a bath.
But the outstanding perfor-
nance was reported by a maid
and a butler who came in from

The Strange Life Of Mysterious Emily

the servants quarters at 2 a. m.
to get something for their indi-
gestion.
Seeing a light in one of the
reception rooms they approached
cautiously. fearing 1t might be
burglars. Finally they were near
enough to peep and there was
the elderly Venus" not in furs,
in fact in a nightie, laying rows
Of hundred dollar bills on the
floor from a huge wad in her
hands as If she were playing
solitaire with them instead of
cards. Also on the floor, lay that
same revolver. The maid and
butler decided not to bother
about their indigestion and took
II silently back to bed with them.
When Emily went out. her
unbathed person was swathed
in her famous furs, ) her face
veneered with layers Of makeup,
crowned with hair. died jet black
and above all. a hat, usually as
old as her cars.
But there must have been ex-
ceptions to this rule, especially
at times when she visited Europe
and the apartment in Chicago
which she still retained. Some
Of her photographs prove this
and even more so Is the fact that
she was able TO interest such
fastidious persons as the late Mr..
Roosevelt and Roe f. Wells,
president of the American Dough-
nut Corporation who is now mar
ried to that dainty beauty. the
former Mrs. Marcus Daily.
Mrs. Gilchrist met the dough-
nut magnate in Paris and told
him her business troubles, just
as she had told them TO a few
others, only that the story was
now longer and sadder. Wells
was then conducting a gigantic
sales campaign TO make Europe
doughnut conscious and informed
Emily that her proposition was
too complicated to be straight
ened out at long range and even
II he were In America would de-
mand a large part Of his time.
Nothing came Of ii except that
Wells was interested in the wo-
mans problems and Emily was
convinced that he was the man
TO stop the continued streamlin-
ing Of her once plump fortune.
To hire such a big business ex-
ecutive would cost more than
Emily's economical mind could

endure. The logical thing was
to marry him and then he would
have to work for nothing and
even contribute to her support.
After more meetings in Eu-
rope and at her Chicago apart
ment they finally eloped TO Val
paraiso, Ind, Jan. IL, 1888. Wells
was II years younger than his
bride but he was old enough not
to be dominated completely by
anyone and besides had been
married twice before and had
three children. He declined to
call the new Mrs. Wells "Prin-
cess" nor adopt any Of the SER
vile tricks which perfect-hus-
band-Gilchrist had apparently
enjoyed doing.
There seems to have been
some conflict from the very
start. Only brief visits to Star
Island were all he could stand
and he visited the Chicago
apartment mostly when she was
in Florida.
However, Emily did take con-
siderable of her husbands ad-
vice and there was marked i'm
provement in her fortune. 1t
would be uneconomical to divorce
such a useful man, which pre-
sumably explains why she did
not treat him as she had the two
other husbands who declined to
be doormats.
There could not have been
much Joy or profit for Mr.. Wells
in this match and why he did
not run out of ii is not SO clear
Possibly he reasoned that she

Of the most unpleasant pieces
OF information for the saber rat

The photographs on this page
should be an eloquent sermon
to anyone who doubts the soli-
darity Of the United Nations and
their determination TO give the
Axis a turn II will remember

Mussolini have become unpleas-

These pictures-which Toxic

Chinese a crack air force. They
illustrate phases in the training
of a class of young Chinese who
will soon be back in their own

the Japs wish they'd forget.
These smiling, Acknowledged
youngsters from the other side
of the world are what we would
call the cream OF the crop. They
we're hand-picked by the best
officers in the Chinese Army
and some of these officers came
with them TO this country while
they learned to fly in the Ameri-
can way.
These boys, who surprise their
instructors with their intelli-
gence at the difficult business
of plotting, navigating and bomb
ing, get 35 weeks Of exactly
the same training that American
flying cadets receive-and then
they are sent back to their own
country as lieutenants In the
Chinese Air Force. Some Of
their own officers come over
with them for an interesting
reason-to give them Chinese
military drill, which differs radi-
cally from formal maneuvers as
taught to the American soldier.
The pictures on this page were
taken at an Army flying field

In spite of the difficulties in
language, the Chinese cadets
learn rapidly and seem to have
a natural flair for aerial navi-
cation and for handling fight
ing ships. They are good shots,
too, and should teach the Japs
a thing or two about the art
of bombing and machine-gln-
ming.
The Americans who have
these boys in hand know that
they will make good fighting
men because they have a keen
sense of humor to match their
courage and determination. They
are not killers at heart, but
civilized gentlemen willing to
give their lives to keep the
world reasonably free and de-
cent.

these youngsters from across

you the assurance, marshal, that
you and your government viii be
free to move without any limita-
tions in the whole Of France.
Actually, I have pronounced my
self against the transfer Of the
French government to Versailles
only because I feared that enemy
propaganda would have pretended
that you, Marshal, and your govern
ment had been deprived of your
freedom and that in consequence
you were no more In the position OF
fulfilling your task In these condi-
tionS.
Considering that owing to the cir
cumstances above stressed the Reich
and Italy have been forced, in order
to safeguard the interests envisaged
in the armistice conditions, to face
the threat of the Anglo-Saxon ma
tions. and in consequence to abolish
the Reich frontier in France, the
reason for keeping the seat of gov
ernment in Vichy does not exist any
more.
Hopes to Avoid Bloodshed.
have therefore taken the liberty
Of profiting by this moment to COM
municate with you on the abolition
of the clause which has been in
force since the armistice.
can understand, marshal, how
bitter is the fate of your country.
Allow me, however, to call your at
tention to the fate OF my own peo-
pie, compelled to wage for several
years a war which had been forced
upon them without any fault on
their part and who now had to take
the above cited decision under the
influence Of the strongest necessi-
ties.
express the hope that. not only
from this reason, there will be no
fresh bloodshed between France and
Germany but that, on the contrary,
rapprochement Of European peoples
will be brought about by this step
against the extra continental dis
turbers of the peace.
Germany, consequently, has de-
cided to defend, If possible, shoulder
to shoulder with French soldiers,
the borders Of your country.

| rapidly as possible continuation Of
the Anglo-American aggression.
These are the circumstances and
honor and regret at the same time
compel me to inform you that in
order to escape the danger which
threatens us I have been obliged to
confer with the Italian government
and to give orders to my troops to
traverse France by the most direct
route in order to occupy the Med
iterranean coast and to take part
in its protection against the aggres-
sion which is imminent from the
Anglo-American forces.
Generals Escape Cited.
The behavior of a French general
has mainly forced me to take this
line of conduct. This one during
his captivity simulated illness and
on account of this some facilities
were granted to him, of which he
took advantage in order to escape,
contrary to the assurance received
regarding his pledge on his word
of honor given to you, marshal.
He decided not only to fight from
now on against Germany in the
services of the Anglo Saxon nations,
the authors of the aggression, but
also against his own country.
Besides that, have to inform you
on this occasion, marshal, that the
action of the German troops is not
directed against you, the chief of
state and venerable commander of
the brave French soldiers during
the last war, nor against the French
government, nor against any
Frenchmen who are desirous of
peace and who above all fear that
their country would become again
theater of war.
On this understanding I would
like at the same time to give you
the assurance that the entry of
allied German and Italian) troops
into France is not directed against
the French forces and that I keep
hope of defending, shoulder to
shoulder with them, Europe as well
as the African possessions belonging
to France against the coalition of
the Anglo Saxon powers.
Lastly. the entrance of Allied
troops is not directed against the
French administration, which,
hope, will continue its functions as
in the past.
The only aim of our action is
to prevent the situation now devel-
oping in North Africa from being
reproduced on the coast of France.
Promises Later Withdrawal.
In reference to the precautions
to be taken in this sense, I feel
responsible not only toward my
people but also, in a larger sense,
toward the whole of Europe, as the
entry Of this continent into a new
state of war would bring the de-
struction of all European nations,
and especially of European cul-
ture.
Besides that, allow me to give you
the assurance, marshal, that as
soon as the situation in the Mediter-
ranean is improved to the point
that it is no longer imperiling the
interests of the Reich in maritime
France, have decided to withdraw
Immediately my troops inside the
former line of demarcation.
Lastly, I would also like to give

tlnies OF my people have cease.

tlons with France, even at the price
OF heavy sacrifices by Germany.
All my efforts have proved futile.
This is not my fault.
The, declarations of war which
Britain and France handed to Ger

1ected me profoundly and the Ger

motive t.. these. declarations.
Notwithstanding the precipitous
and disastrous issues for some re-
sulting from this campaign, I de-
cided 1t was essential to reopen a
clear field for the establishment Of
a better European solidarity.
In this spirit I inserted into
the armistice no clause which was
contradictory to the idea which was
announced in the preamble.
The German Reich did not at the
moment take advantage of the
weakness of France in order to in
dulge in extortions and has con-
tented Itself by requiring only what
victor In such circumstances is
compelled to ask for, notably to
secure guarantee that the armis-
tice Is not circumvented and effec-
tive conclusion of the war is guar
anteed.
Troops Ordered Through France.
Finally, the Reich required that
under no circumstances should the
armistice suffer any notifications
which might lead to disadvantages
IN Germany's military position by
actions of the former allies Of
France which would cause prolonga-
ton of the war.
At that time Germany did not
impose any requirements in regard
to the French Navy. She has not
In any way infringed upon the SOW
ereignty Of France in her colonial
empire.
In the hope Of carrying the war
to Europe, Britain and America
have since then commenced to oc-
cupy the Western and Northern
African territories of France.
France on her part is not in a
position to oppose these aggres-
sions. Furthermore, Germany and
italy will not tolerate in any event
termination of the armistice and the
consequences this would bring in
its train which would necessarily be
to Germany's and Italy's disad-
vantage.
Thus, after receipt of certain in
formation, Germany and Italy are
left In no doubt whatsoever that the
next step Of Britain and America
is directed toward Corsica and the
south Of France. In consequence
OF this the foundations of the
armistice have ceased to exist as
France Is no longer able to acquit
herself vts-a-yis Germany and Italy.
The governments of Germany and
Italy have agreed to take urgent
measures designed to counteract as
