The best plainclothes men from Paris, on duty at Lourdes, have caught as many as six pickpockets in a single morning. Often the thieves are young girls trained by •Ider adepts, who are mostly old •ffenders fearful of the heavy punishment dealt out in France to the habitual criminal. Lourdes is crowded in the sum mer with a great variety of nation alities and that means a vast va riety of wallets. The thoughts of the devout when they buy candles for the shrine or gather about the pile of discarded crutches are pre occupied and abstracted. They do not resent ehance elbowing or jol ting nor feel the hand that slips the wallet from its resting place. MACHINE makes hait 1 MILLION SHOT A MINUTE - ■ ■ REDCLIFFE, Enp. Sept. 25.

I I -—— PEACE OR WAR UP TO BEAUTIFUL RUMANIAN QUEEN (Contmued from P»ge On®» apparently realizing that, the Bes sarabian question some day would reach a Crisis, has shrewdly sought co-operation of the albee by visits to the capitals of western Europe. Here again she combined her great game of love and politics, by seeking to arrange a match between her youngest daughter, Princess Heana, and the world’s most prized bachelor, Prince of Wales. France seemed more friendly than any other nation toward her. but here again the queen showed her political skill. Marie knew a military alliance with France W'uld alienate Great Britain against her, just at the time that country was establishing relations with the soviet ; And so her lack of complete suc cess on her trip makes the problem j now facing her all the more difficult to solve. Bessarabia has been a potential cause of war for more than a cen tury. Russia acquired most of Bessana- 1 bia in 1812 through a treaty when it was granted autonomy under Turkish rule. In 1877 over Rumania protests, Bismarck the great German “iron chancellor,” insisted on giving the country back to Russia, thus hop- 1 ing to sc*' discord between Russia and Rumania, according to some historians. Then came the World War and the Russian revolution. Bessara bia proclaimed itself indapendent under the name of the Moravian re public.

For this reason Rum ania’s clai m to the country was up held at Versailles, despite protests of those in Bessarabia favoring in dependence.
