PARIS, Sept. 13 — When the Cham
ber resumes. M. Ferdinand Bulsson
will submit a report in the name of
the Commission on Universal Suf
frage favorable to women having the
vote. The Paris Municipal Council
haa also voted in favor of votes for!
women. In order to ascertain wheth
er women would be disposed to use !
the vote g it were given to them a j
Paris daily recently organized a sort !
of symposium on the subject and in- !
vited opinions from prominent wo- !
men.
The Duchess d'Uzes considers that i
votes for women is a matter of sim
ple equity, and argues that in those
countries where the vote has been i
accorded them the moral level has
riseri. Mile. Helene Miropolsky, who
is a practicing lawyer, declares that
in criminal Jurisprudence it is a fla- !
grant injustice that women should
not be included on Juries, and Baron- I
ess Fauqueux asserts that the law-
does not protect the woman who I
works nor the woman who possesses |
a fortune.
Maternal authority is tnsufficientlv i
established, and she thiEJss the time ;
has come for legislators io make
trodern code. The feminine vote
which would modify the spirit of the
code, would have the support of the |
people and the approval of the di
recting classes.
In the opinion of Mile. Helene Du- I
trieu, the intrepid aviator, woman i
suffrage, though it might be accept- j
able in Paris, would be disastrous in |
the great industrial centers. “We;
would have a revolution fomented by j
a ba-nd of petroleuses," she says, i
"Have you observed the attitude of i
women during strikes?" she asks.
“Their violence knows no limit. These j
women would constitute the majority i
of our sex. As for the others, believe ’
me, their place is with their children, i
and your reforms would have no use- !
fulness for them. You will never pre- \
vent an unhappy wife from being ;
beaten," she says, “and if it pleases i
her husband to take her wages she |
will not be in a position to stop j
him.”
Mme. Gladys Maxhance, of the 1
Odeon Theater, says that women
have distinct qualities which, united,
can give excellent results. She sug
gests that women should simply offer
to collaborate with men—in a word, j
make feminism amiable and smiling.!

Crown Prince of Germany, Wife
and Three Brothers Wander
ing Through Island.
Special Cable to The American.
LONDON. Sept. 13— Four of Em
peror William’s sons have invaded
England recently. They are in the
strictest incognito, which is just as
well, else some ultra-jingoes would be
crying, “German spies.”
Crown Prince William and his vi
vacious wife have been traveling for
a fortnight as the Count and Countess
of Hohenstein of Potsdam. They
stayed for some days at Clifton. The
Crown Princess also tried the famous
waters at Bath.
Prince August William and Prince
Eitel Frederick have been seen prom
enading the streets of Edinburgh,
while the youngest son, Joachim, is
also somewhere in Scotland.
The Kaiser readily gave his sons
permission to visit England on the
strict understanding, however, that
they were to go about as quietly as
possible, just like ordinary private cit
izens.
This was precisely what his sons
wanted, more especially the Crown
Prince, who, although appearing anti-
British when his countrymen expect
him to be so. is really devoted to
everything English.
Young Prince Joachim, who is the
liveliest of the four, positively refused
to have any attendants, and his errat
ic movements have caused some anx
iety to the German Embassy.
H.G. Wells Becomes

Special Cable to The American.
LONDON, Sept. 13— H. G. Wells
is spending this month in caravan
ning in Kent, lie has recently be
come an ardent member of the Cara
van Club, and for the last week or
two he and his one-horse caravan
have been peregrinating in the neigh
borhood of Sevenoaks.
Mr. Weils, who all his life has been
keen on exercise and all outdoor
things, says he finds he does more
satisfactory literary work in a cara
van than in a study.
His next novel, which will appear
in the autumn, is to deal with the
eternal problem of established reli
gion. The author labors under no ne
cessity to write, for his income from
royalties is between $10,000 and $15.-
T»ou a year. For a single column in
the daily papers he is paid $160.

ST. PETERSBURG, Sept. 13.—N.
A, Shakhoff, the famous Moscow' mil
lionaire, is starting for New York
next week on his first visit to the
United States.
Mr. Shakhoff is famous through
out Russia as the man who brings up
and educates the children of people
who have got into political trouble.
Some months ago, when the political
police in St. Petersburg raided the
Witmer Academy on the ground that
the pupils were reading liberationist
literature, the latter were forbidden
entrance into any educational institu
tion in Russia. Mr. Shakhoff forth
with defrayed the travel, board and
education fees of any of them who
wished to complete their training out
side of Russia.
Recently the Russian’ Education
Department selected the 5 per cant
of Jew’s, the maximum allowed in tho
higher educational establishments in
Russia, by drawing lots, instead of. as
previously, after an examination. Mr.
Shakhoff, who is an Orthodox Rus
sian Christian, is now sending many
of those who had gold medal quali
fications, but had not drawn success
ful lottery numbers, to finish their
education in France or Switzerland.
Recently there has been somq
feeling displayed both in Geneva
University and in Sorbonne, in Paris,
against foreign students. *
Mr. Shakhoff says that if condi
tions there prove unsatisfactory, lie
w'ill inquire during his visit to the
United States whether he can not
send his protege to get an American
education.
Spurious Antiques
Bait for Americans
Cottages Along Roads Out of London
‘Planted’ With Alleged
Old Furniture.
Lady Camovs, Lady Decies and Duchess
Chaulnes Rejoice in International
Offspring.
Special Cable to The American.
LONDON, Sept. 13.—Pieces of “an
tique” furniture, whose origin only
the Bond street dealers know, are
increasing. Business is booming in
alleged Jacobean sideboards, old
dressers and Georgian corner cup
boards. •
A new' scheme has increased the
trade. The spurious furniture is
placed in cottages on roads most j
frequented by Americans and other j
foreign motorists and tourists.
“Unwillingly” the cottagers sell
their “heirlooms” for a high price, j
If the buyer should pass again he
would find precisely similar “an
tiques” awaiting a new purchaser.
Special Cable to The American.
LONDON. Sept. 13.—The charm of
Yankee girls is Americanizing the
blue blood of some of the most aris
tocratic families in Europe.
Lady Camoys, who was Miss Mil
dred Sherman, of New' York, Is the
latest American girl to aid in this
movement. She is the mother of a
fine baby boy, whose American ances
try is spoken by every feature of his
face.
Lady Camoys is the third New I
York girl within the past five years
or so who has married into the no- I
bility and who has given birth to a |
child. The two other American peer
esses who are the mothers of titled
heirs tare the Duchess deChaulnes,
formerly Miss Theodora Shonts,
daughter of Theodore P. Shonts, the
traction magnate, and Lady Decies,
who was Helen Vivien Gould, daugh
ter of Mr. and Mrs. George Jay Gould.
Miss Sherman was <>n#* of the
bridesmaids when Lord Decies, one
of tnc Beresfords, led Miss Gould to
the altar in February. 1911, in St.
Bartholomew’s Church in this city.
Lord Camoys, a friend of the bride
groom, came to thi» country to attend
the wedding and he and Miss Sher
man met for the first time.
Before long it became apparent to
their friends that there was going to
be another wedding march. Expecta
tions in this direction were fulfilled
and in November of the same year
the heiress to the millions of Mr. and
Mrs. William Watts Sherman was
married to the head of one of the
most ancient houses of Great Britain.
Tho ceremony, in startling contrast
to the pomp and splendor of previous
inernational matches, was performed
in a tiny room on the third floor of
the Sherman mansion, 838 Fifth Ave
nue. it was stipulated at the time of
the marriage that any issue of the
union was to be brought up in the
Catholic faith.
Lady Camoys’ mother sailed from
America in March and was at her
daughter’s bedside when her son was
born.
The marriage of Miss Gould and
Lord Decies was an event that will
long be remembered by New York
society. The ceremony was perform
ed by Bishop Greer in the presence
of many members of the nobility and
of distinguished American families.
A baby girl w'as born in August of
last year.
Miss Shonts and the Due deChaul-
nes were married in February, 1908.
Six weeks latef* tho Duke died sud
denly in Paris, and in the following
November the young Duke was born.
The birth of a son fully (established
tho right of tho widowed Duchess to
u. place in exclusive French society.
Officer Who Visited Chickamauga
During Spanish-American War
Calls Guard No Protection.
By STEVEN BURNETT.
Special Cable to The American.
BERLIN, Sept. 13.—A high German
officer who visited the United States
during the Spanish-American war,
and at the same time spent several
days at Camp Thomas in Chickamau
ga Park, while about 40,000 troops of
the American National Guard were en
camped there, the other day express
ed his views on the American-Mexi-
can imbroglio to me. They were not
without interest to my American
readers, 1 think, although they may
not agree with him.
“You would have no trouble in
making Mexico give in Immediately
to your demands,” he said, “if you
had possessed a regular army worthy
the size and Importance of your great
country, but General Huerta knew
that you were not prepared to back
up your demands with bayonets and
that it would be too great a risk for
you to try to coerce Mexico by force
of arms.
"I must say,” he added, “that it
has always been a puzzle to me why
you have not increased the strength
of your regular army. You hav»* th<
money to do so without feeling the
expense at all; you have no anti
militarists as w r e have here in Ger
many; nay, on tho contrary, your
| people are pervaded by a stronger
i spirit of patriotism than I have seen
in any country outside of Japan, and
! Ptill you are satisfied with maintain
ing an army which is a mere handful
of men which would not be able to
defend you in case, say, of Japan
trying to attack you before the open
ing of the Panama Canal.
“You may say that you have your
National Guard, but without wanting
to hurt the feelings of that patriotic
i and enthusiastic body of men that I
I saw at Camp Thomas during the
i Spanish war, I can not help saying
| that two or three regiments of japs
: would be able to beat them in no
time, simply because they lacked dis
cipline and training. Let me say
this.” he concluded, "that nowhere
have 1 seen such splendid crude ma-
| terial for an invincible army; but, be-
| lieve me. when I say that, military
i training stands for sonything. To
j attempt to oppose a modern-trained
and modernly-armed enemy with your
| National Guardsmen would be noth-
I ing less than criminal."
Automatic Soldier

Shoots, Then Disappears.
Special Cable to The American.
PARIS, Sept. 13.—The automatic
soldier, the deadliest instrument of
war ever devised, has been patented
by a Danish engineer, it is reported.
This machine is governed by wire-
telegraphy from a distance of 5
less
miles if ne« d be. It consists of a
steel cylinder sunk vertically in the
earth and containing another cylin
der which risies out of the ground
when the delicate machinery is set
in motion by wireless.
In the second cylinder is affixed an
automatic rifle which immediately
pumps bullets In the direction in
which It is pointed, firing 400 timet I
with speed and accuracy.
Then the rifle and its cylinder sinks !
back into the buried cylinder, where j
an enemy can find it only with great j
difficulty.
Pome hundreds of such automatic
soldiers could defend a position
against a large force of infantry.

LONDON, Sept. 13.—About $1,662.-
500 of Jewels, gold and bonds has
been stolen during the last eighteen
months by the member* of a gigan
tic international trust of jewel
thieves.
Of all these immensely valuable
gems few have been recovered, de
spite the earnest and sagacloue ef
forts of the detectives of seven coun
tries, America, England, Russia, Bel
gium, France, Holland and Germany.
These astounding statements are
made on the authority of the highest
officials of Scotland Yard. They say
that the search for Max Mayer’s
$750,000 pearl necklace, stolen in
transit by registered mail from Lon
don to Paris last July, revealed the
existence of this international trust
of jewel thieves.
Six Bands In the Tru»L
The trust comprises at least six
bands of scientific thieves. In the
actual robberies, each band work®
by itself, they combine only to dis
pose of their spoils. Two of the
bands are American, one is composed
mainly of Russians, another of Pari
sians, a third of Englishmen.
The Scotland Yard detective* as
sert the bands combined two years
ago so that thye might find new
markets and so outwit the police of
Europe and America, who had learn
ed where they sold their loot.
Said a Scotland Yard inspector to
day:
“There is no business so profitable
as that of Jewel-thieving on a whole
sale scale, and accordingly the ap
pointment of 50 or so trustworthy
agents in the hitherto unexploited
Cities of far-off continent*, though
perhaps expensive for one or two
gangs to attempt alone, became a
simple propoaition for half a dozen
to handle.
“A rope of BO pearls can be broken
up, and through this organization be
disposed of in a dozen cities as far
apart as Melbourne and Pekin.”
Here is a list of the ten successful
thefts, involving $1,662,000 committed
by the members of the international
combine In the last eighteen months:
Some Recent Robberies.
March 14, 1912: Jewels valued at
$25,000 were stolen during transit
by train from Paris to Amsterdam.
July 12, 1912: Three bonds valued
at $50,000 were stolen from the
Credit Foncier d’Algerie Bank, Paris
July 23, 1912: Jewels valued at
$25,000 wer#stolen from the Princess
of Thurn and Taxis at Ostend.
July 31, 1912: At Moscow the
Princess Schakowski was robbed of
gems valued at over $500,000.
August 4, 1912: Jewels valued at
$75,000 were stolen from Senor Cruz,
a diamond merchant of Lisbon.
November 27. 1912: Gold Ingots,
worth $25,000 were stolen during
transit between Bremen and Switzer
land.
March 3, 1918: The Grand Duchess

000.
June 16. 1913: Jewels valued at
$12,500 were stolen from a well-
known Paris hotel
July 16. 1913: The theft of the
$750,000 necklace during transit by
post from Paris to London.
The Scotland Yard Inspector ha«
left out of his reckoning the value of
the jewels stolen at American sum
mer resorts estimated at $300,000 in
1911—the year the international trus.
was organized—somewhat less in
1912 and $500,000 in 1913.
