BR name is Genevieve Mese
one ehe 18 nine years old,
and she lives at .126 Rue
Ft:rearm, Paris. Her hair
ie as black as a raven's wing and her
eyes the color of a gazelle's.
Genevieve had very often heard
during the last two years of the suf-
ferings of her uncle, who woes a pris-
oner of war in Germany. She re-
membered hi18i very well, for she had
loved him very mugh. Her 1 methee
and her aunt often sorrowed at be-
lated tidings, or sorrowed more at
none at all. They had no word from
him for three months, and the last
letter was very short, as the regula-
tioni specify, 'telling only of life and
love for those in France, and also of
sickness.
While one .evening about the API
and her mother and her aunt were
I crYing, she asked where the German
Prison camp wag. Her mother told
her it was:4741'OP ,Festerdorf, in West -
Oat* anektlilites ail she knew. An
b,iur lettere *While Getievleve wag
Woken at the , evening _paper, ohs
suddenly, said aloud, "Kon Dieu!"
which, in Feion0h is the erfaivalent of
"Well, I nteeer!" or "The idea!" or
any kindred ejaculation. The next
afternoon, while her mother and her
aunt were out she stealthily opened
:ner Little, savings bank, took f.rem It
torte centimeswent out heeself and
bought a sheet of paper, an envelope,.
and a twentfive-eeatime, stamp,
came home and. wrote this letter;
wrote it in her childish way, obliv-
ioais Were's*, unmindful of a bile
blot -theit leaked . ffom her motherie
Pen,7-toidsshe signed her name:
" lialeut' Tteir Mitleetey the King
tn
,of Elat 'er- Thu will pleeee see about
My., oie Gag -lel Crinkin, who IS a
priloner in Cate!, Festerdorf in Weet-
phalia, he Is sick aad I read in the
Paper sick:Preach prisoners eaa be
sent to Switserlaed to be made well
again. I read in the same paper you
had a friend who said you were good,
I am a. little friend who asks you -for
myself eand my mama and my aunt.
It would make us hesoPy to know my
uncle was in Switzerland and away
from the Boche that hurt him with a
big gun. He would never have made
my uncle prisoner if hehad not hurt
him &Mt. r *ill kiss you if you send
him to Switherland. He is a sergeant
and. I lope hinn He is a sergeant of
the line, my aunt says. I don't know
what the lineis, but he wears a gray
uniform and has a moustache. I am
onlyonine years old and if you will
Bead him to Switzerland I will come
to your castle when this nasty war ie
over and see you my own self."
Then Genevieve wrote upon the
envelope, "The King of Spain, Mad-
rid," and put the letter in the Poet
box at the Corner as she went to
school the next morning. And every
day she wen t to school again and
she played and helped her mama and
her attfee aed lived her little life of
childish ineecence. '
0nm:evening, long after, so long
that Genevieye had forgotten, think-
ing only now etnid. then that some day
she vrould have i to tell her mama
about the forty missing centimes'
from her bank, the postman came_ to
the door. Her 'nether, greeted- bite
eagerly, for nit 'news heti dome from
the primmer in, Westphalia for roue
months. And be cried out:
"Genevieve! Genevieve! It's
letter for you, And ,it comes from
Spain. W Pat can, it be?"
And then little Genevieve reneern;
bered. Her little face grew red and,
then it grew pale, and then she burst
into tears, sobbingly telling what she
had done weeks brefore. Her mother:
looked at her aunt and her aunt
looked at her mother, and both look-
ed at Genevieve while they both

Tilt Hat as a Symbol..
In Meeito, the hat is the symbol of

The grandees of old Spain enjoyed
the tecierilege of standing covered in

that they vied with one another in

of Comnaoditieli of Prirae eecessiey
over, which be: could obtain effective
control at all stages,. from the pro-
ducer to the consumer. Every effort
would be made to prelr,elli specula-
tion, and Unnecessary rotddlemen
would be eliminated. Exietipg
agencies would- be utilized for Um
purpose of dietribution undee license
and under the contipl awl supervis-
ion of local food controllers to be
appointed by the Weal authorities.
Where profits were made -illegally,
Lord Rhondda said he would press
for imprisonment in all cases of suf-
ficient gravity, He proposed to
eliminate Profiteerinlby fixing
prices on the basis of pre-war pro-
fits. All flour mills would be taken

ATTRACTIVE VOYAGE IN THE
CHANNEL.
0 those wile have acquaint-
ance with the way of the
sea, in different pilots of the
world, whe know some-
thing of the strange lonesomeness
mid-Atlantic, the burnished brih
fiance of the tropics, or the lead
grayness of the Northern oceans,
there Is something about the English
Channel which seems to make it
waterway apart. "Sailing up the
Channel," towards the Straits et
Dover, or "sailing down- the Chan-
nel" towards the open se -a, are
phrases which seem to be abundant-
ly fulfilled in practice, whenever one
makes the journey. Every vessel on
sees go by has about it an air ol
setting .out or returning home. There
is much more 'of the companionshie
of the river about it all than of the
chance "hail and farewell" of the
sea.
Geologists have, of course, much
to say about the Channel. They will
teinyou how, along its coasts on
either side, cliffs and Lowlands alter
nate, ' and how the `'"geological attire
itiee' between eeeiecessive opposite
stretches are wq/ittai ked; how the
granite of Coniaiall and Devon is
clearly,own brother -to the granite °I
Brittany, and so on, all the way to
the "sneer -Streak:" where, the white
cliffs of ,Dover find fellows in the
white limestone -about Calais and
Boulogne. Geographers, too, will tell
you that, if the entrance to the Chan-
nel shall be taken to lie between
Ushante and the Scilly Isles, its ex-
treme.len,gth is - about- 320 miles;
whilst width varies from 106
miles; at -its entrance, to twenty
tunes at the arias. The average

EMPRESS SEARg4,,ED OUT
INCOMPETENT OFFICIALS
WISS newspapers reprint the
following story, which hre
been going the rounds of the
Austrian and German press:
"On one of the recent fat days in
Vienna the Empress Zita, disguised
as the wife of a Vienna workingman,
mixed among the purchasers of fate
in order to see for herself hdei much
truth there was in the complaints in
the press about the bureaucracy pre-
vailing at the selling of fats, Soon
he we engaged in conversation with
the other *omen, and Fran X was
telling about her family and her
children that she had been com-
pelled to leave behind without any-
one to watch them because she fre-
quentior had tie wait hours to get a
little fat, and Frau Y sang the game
song in a little differene key.
"An hour passed, aed then_ two
and finally three, while the Empress
wa$ talking. with her new acepfaint-
aiices abut their houlield joys and
woes art4d they were vainly trying to
get. the fat counter. There were
Diu. too few officials on hzaid, and
EMPRESS ZITA
those who were there were so indif-
ferent and indolent that ao progress
was being made. Dozens who bad
not yet been served after having
waited tor hours were still standing
in front of the shop when the check
struck five and down rolled the glop
shutter with a crash, and despite all
the pleas of the women for service
the officials said: 'It is now closirig
time and time to quit work. To-
morrow the performa,nee Will begin
again,. You will -have to come again
to-morrow.i
"Then the women were filled with
natural Indignation 'and they were
not at all 'backward in voicing their
sompiaintee while their new col-
league carefully noted what was
eoing on and then dipappearedeunek

Minutes rater the question aa to how
things had gone that day in selling
fat was put to the officials at the
4alesroom from the highest author-
ity. 'Remarkably well,' was the as -
port, 'Thework of distribution was
already ended at six o'cioene and
everybody was satisfied."Thea why
Oidn't the -.Empress get aar fat, al-
though she waned for hours?' was
the next question, and the interroga-
tor rang off. It must have rung un-
pleasantly in the officials' ears all
eight and still raore so the next
morning when the •order came:
horansferred tofield service at the
iiront because of incompetency in the
eupply service.'
