Mail Fraud Charge
Denied by Mrs. Hill
All Her Arraignmenf

Mrs. G.. Mildred Hill, 65-year-old
Washington woman charged with
using the mails to defraud matri-
monially- bachelors, pleaded
not guilty at her arraignment yes
terday before United States Com
missioner Needham C. Turnage, at
which a postal inspector asserted
that he had "bushel basket" of
evidence against her.
Mrs. Hills attorneys, Harry and
Reuben Bennett, asked and received
continuance of the preliminary
hearing next Friday. Mrs. Hill, a
resident at 419 Irving street NV,
was released after posting $4,000
bond. She was brought to Wash
ington from Chicago yesterday by
automobile In the custody of United
States deputy marshals.
w. T. Quay, Post Office Depart
ment inspector, promised new evi-
dence in the case when Defense
Counsel Harry Bennett askd the
commissioner to set Mrs. Hills bond
at 81 900. Mr.. Quay stated Mrs. Hill
had been arrested in 1926 and 1927
on charges similar to the present
one.
II have probably a bushel basket
of letters" he announced, land more
are coming in every day" The let
ters referred to. he explained, were
allegedly written by Mrs. Hills in
the guise of a youthful dress design
er to prospective customers in the
marriage mart. The latest of the
letters in his possession, he said, had
been turned out by duplicating
machine.
The charge of violating Title IS,
Section 338 of the United States
code was ampiifled by Commis-
sioner Turnage to accuse Mrs. Hill
of soliciting funds for rent, food
and medical expenses. Mr.. Quay
said that she had been arrested in
Huntington, w. Va, and Cleveland,
on the same charge 20 years ago
and served three months in State
workhouse the second time.
Mr.. Quay said that the latest
ionely-heart campaign Mrs. Hill is
accused OF having launched began
with inserction of a letter in the
April, 1913. edition of the Standard
Correspondence Club, 40-year -old
Grays Lake 1ll) publication, and
ended with her recent arrest in
Chicago.
He produced a copy of the cor
respondence paper in which a let
ter numbered 56246 and datelined
Washington described its writer as
very talented young lady" anxious
to meet IAN intelligent young man
or one approaching middle age who
would appreciate a young lady OF
my standard as a life mate" The
writer was further described as be-
ing 10 years old, very attractive,
accomplished at drawing and play
ing the guitar and piano, worth
$4,000 and due to inherit $4,000
more.

Reynoud's Prophesy of 1885
Fulfilled in Fall of France

damp buildings of the Fort of Por-
talet. The very day the Wehrmacht
invaded the free zone." November
II, 1912, an IS officer came to take
Mandel and me to Berlin. I tele-
graphed to Marshal Petain: "The
question to which you must reply
on your honor is-are you going
to hand over your former chief to
the enemy?"
For this Marshal of France, how
ever, honor seems to play minor
role.
In my cell at the sinister camp
of Oranienburg, where I existed
for six months in perpetual silence,
as if buried alive, my spirits were
still high. Not for moment did
I regret the course that had taken
I did not regret having been a
"warmonger," having besought
France to pull herself together, to
arm and seek alliances, and having
refused to agree to her surrender
at the cost of her broken word.
Proud of Years In Cell.
When my secretary inquired why
I had been arrested, Gestapo
officer at the ministry of the in
terror in Paris replied: Monsieur
Paul Raynaud is our greatest
enemy"
Yes, I am prouder Of the five
years spent in prison than OF all
the rest of my political career.
AS Premier from March, 1910, on
wards, I was the only man who
knew the complete history of the
armistice and its causes; was the
only one in simultaneous communi-
cation with the statesmen Of our
Allies, their Ambassadors, the
French Army chiefs, the President
of the republic, the presidents OF
the two legislative chambers, and
the cabinet ministers. I leave 1t to
others to judge whether what I
have to say is worth while.
I never kept diary before I went
to Jail. When I was in the gov
ernment, I had other things to do
besides taking notes for the purpose
of providing future generations
with information about myself. But,
amid the silence of my French and
German prisons I went over my
recollections. I compared them
with those of Georges Mandel. I
studied the official and private doc
uments that l had with me, some
of which have not been published; I;
reports Of the Supreme War Coun-
Gil, of the War Committee, of the
Supreme Inter-Allied Council.
This story of the struggles Of a
French politician between two wars
will help people, I hope, to realize
why France was unable to over
come the difficulties that confronted
her. And it is above all, the origins
of our mistakes that must be re-
vealed If we want to cure ourselves
of our defects.

100 House Members
Awaiting Recess 10
Start Trips Abroad
py tn. Associated Press.

Ey the ASsOClhbeo EAeSSs
It's beginning to look as
though the ringing OF three bells
in Paris early in September
might produce a quorum of the
United States House of Repre-
sentatives.
Three bells on Capitol Hill is the
signal for House quorum call.
More than 100 members of the
chamber are awaiting tomorrow's
beginning on an 11-week recess to
take off on jaunts that will take
many of them halfway around the
world.
Some already have left and 9TH
ers won't wait for the formal ad-
iournment. Indications are that
by the time the House reconvenes,
October s, almost all of its men,
bers will have set foot in Europe,
England, or one or more Pacific
islands.
200 Back From Trip.
An estimated 200 already have
returned from trips that have
given the Seventy-ninth Congress
the reputation of being the most
travel in history.
The exodus to foreign shores was
scheduled to get under way today
with departure by Army plane of
q special 11-member House group
on a 40-day "fact-finding" mission
to the British Isles, Europe, the
Scandinavian countries and the
Middle East. The group hopes,
among other things, to promote in
ternatlonal good will.
A six-man group representing the
State Department subcommittee of
the House Appropriations Commit
tee will sail on the liner Queen
Mary about August 7 for an inspec-
ton of State Department properties
and facilities abroad. They expect
to visit 20 capitals.
Less than a week later, five men,
bers of the Foreign Affairs Commit
tee plan to hop off by Army plane
for Russia, Poland and the Balkans.
-Four other subcommittee of the
same committee are considering
plans for trips to other parts of the
globe.
Plan Economic Survey.
In mid-August, upward of dozen
member of the Special Committee
on Postwar Economic Planning ex-
pect to board the Queen Elizabeth
for an economic survey of Europe.
About August %, score or more
members of the House Interstate
and Foreign Commerce Committee
will shove off for an extended in
vestigation abroad of newsprint
supplies, communications and petro-
leum.
Sometime in September a spe-
cial committee of four will go to
Europe to study relief problems.
Already somewhere in the far Pa
cif1c is House Naval Affairs Sub
committee. Authority also has been
granted to two other committees,
territories and roads, to make first
hand Investigations within their
Jurisdictions.
Just how much the Senate will
heed the sudden urge to travel may
not be known until after that body
finishes debating the United Nations
Charter.
Most of the trips are financed out
Of contingent committee funds.
So intense has become the legis-
lative travel desire that Representa-
tive Smith, Democrat, of Virginia
has suggested facetiously to the
Rules Committee that it arrange to
charter the Queen Mary, give tick
cts to all members and sail it around
the world during the recess.
