Old-style diplomacy replaced the Wllsonian principle of "open covenants openly arrived at" for the making of the allied peace with Turkey. The Near East peace conference will be carried out in strictest secrecy on the demands of the allied delegations. The press and public were admitted to the gambling rooms of the Casino, where baccarat" and roulette formerly were played, while President Haab of Swizerland welcomed the delegates with remarks about "peace on earth and»good will to men." Lord Curzon remarked daring the course of his response that he hoped peace would' be concluded in two or three weeks, saying that the British delegation came in a conciliatory spirit. Ismet Pasha, chief of the Turkish Nationalist delegation, said the Turkish people wished peace but demanded full liberty and complete sovereignty such as other free governments possessed. No other public meeting will be held until peace is signed. , New York.--Squeals, snarls and shrieks burst in upon the peaceful meditations of Detective Tom Burke as he ambled comfortably down Grove street in Jersey City. Startled into professional alertness, he was about convinced that a murder was being committed when a strange procession hove In view at' the corner. At the head of the procession, according to Burke, ran a rat, fully 15 Inches long, with its beady eyes veritable balls of fire and froth coming from Its mouth.

TherCi Isn't a chance on earth, and some day every American citizen wUl inow about them. J Of course there Art people Nowadays who are a Mt hazy about the Pilgrims and the May- Sower and the whole business. Doubtless there are *some who » know of Plymouth Rock only as * kind of chicken. Certainly there is many a native-born American who doesn't know the difference between the Pilgrims and the Puritans} maybe he even thinks they were the samel But nobody's going to have a chance to forge* the Pilgrim^. There's Thanksgiving day, which is not complete without appropriate references to4 the Pilgrims and that first Thanksgiving dinner of wild turkey, cranberries and pumpkin pit That's a yearly reminder. And there are the thousands upon thousand* «f "Mayflower Descendants," whose activities are oatlon-wlde. And there are the thousands upon thousands trf priceless family heirlooms brought over on the Mayflower--you wouldn't think from the accom-' ftanying reproduction of her replica that She could tiave carried so many, would you? * Some future Americans may escape the do-, acendants and the relics, but Thanksgiving will get most of them and the story of Prlseilla Aiulllns and John Alden and Capt. Miles Standish will set the rest. Why, every schoolboy and every schoolgirl Is brought up on this story; to escape It the future American will have to play hookey •11 Ills schooldays and dodge Longfellow all his life. This Plymouth Bock romance Is really quite S story. It" has several claims upon fame, aside from Longfellow's melodious version. In the first place It's a true story. If you don't toelleve there were any such people, please know that John and Prlseilla became the parents of eleven children--and their descendants are now numerous enough to have a society all by them- ^Secondly, PriscHlj? perpetrated the first recorded American leap-year proposal. To be sure, she <lidn't pop until 1620 was put and goopt 1»ut tbf principle Is the same. Thirdly, It's the first American triangle--aH Innocent one, adorned with admirable features. „ - Longfellow, himself descended from John and Prlseilla, appears to have stuck pretty close to the facts--for a poet. But he was a mere man and how could he tell the story of a girl's love I Elisabeth Poe retells the story In the Washington Voat and here are some of the points she makes •As to why Prlseilla took John Instead of Captain Idles: The perversity which guides a woman In love •matters was evident' In Prlseilla Alden's choice. John Alden was a stalwart youth, and made her « good husband. She saw heaven In his blue eye* •beyond doubt, but to most women the* valiant sol- <dler of fo tune, Capt. Miles Standish, would have had more appeal. Standish. was surrn"nded with the halo of romance and adventure .j a dozen countries; he was strangely like that other douphty adventurer of America's beginnings, Oapt. John 8mlth--a Mont heaH his, and fitted th^Mby for qamfW asamxr firovfkt** awaited these Pilgrim folk, ^rho sought on the bteak New England coast the Mght to accept the dictates of their own con- * ? npienee ^nd "freedom to worship God." i Perhaps Prlseilla felt that to men of such type .Women are more or less "incidents," proving the "poet Byron's confession that "Love Is to men • thing apart. 'Tls woman's whole existence." Perhaps she had the fear that ih years to come Miles Standish might weary of the ta men ess of * the Plymouth hearth fire and harken to the call of wanderlust once more. John Alden, on the other hand, was the steady-going kind, a student, of judicial temperament, Imbued with the tenets of the Pilgrim faith, while Miles Standish as a •oldler of the church militant was perhaps not Overtroubled with religious theories and intricacies, a "fighting roundhead," so to sfreak, caring more for the battle like the fighting Quaker Ellicotts of Maryland, who have managed, in spite of being Friends, to be in every scrap In which "tmcle Sam has had a hand. 1 . It may come as a surprise to moot people that : the Pilgrim fathers were not "graybeards," as generally supposed, but, on the contrary, young men. Only two of the whole company were more than fifty years of age and only nine were more than forty. Standish was thirty-six years old; John Alden was only twenty-one. There again comes In another reason why John Alden was chosen by the sprightly Prlseilla and Standish turned down by proxy. It was youth calling to youth with Prlseilla and John Alden. To her seventeen- year-old eyes Captain Standish was an "old nan." . John Alden was of her own generation. May . preferred to wed with May Instead of September, and there's no gainsaying a woman's "because," which in one word sums np any given action of hers. Moreover, John Alden offered Prlseilla the flower of a first love; Miles Standish had burled his heart In a woman's grave--that of his fir ' . wife, lovely Rose Standish, frail of body but great of heart, who' succumbed with fifteen of the twenty-nine women who had sailed from England jmd Holland to the hardships of the first Plymouth winter, leaving no child to comfort her sor- . towing husband. t Prlseilla at this time was dhly sixteen, just on the verge of womanhood. We can picture Prlseilla not in the conventional uniform attire of the" pictured Pilgrim, which with its gray gowns with dainty white collars and cults with stiff caps and dark capes is a mere artistic caper, according to the best authority. Women of Priscilla's station In life, and it wap of the upper middle class, wore the English dress of the period. This was often full skirts of silk of varied colors; long, pointed Stomachers, often with bright tone; full, sometimes puffed or slashed, sleeves, and lace collars or "whisks" resting upon the shoulders. Often the gowns were plaited or silk laced; they oftenopened in front, 'Showing petticoats that were quilted or embroidered In brighter colors. Later came the dress restrictions, but not In the early days of the colony. Fortune had severe trials In store for Prlseilla Mullins. During that terrible first winter not duly CUNO NAMES SUPER CABINET President of the Ham burg-American Line Announces Completion of His Now Government.

Her plight seems to have aroused the sympathy of the entire colony. The women adopted her en masse, and as her beauty was as evident as her goodness, all the young men ID the colony would have liked to have done the same thing. Meantime the Mayflower was returning to England. Alden, crushed, disappointed, not daring for loyalty to his angry friend to push his suit with Prlseilla, planned to return to the old home, forsaking forever the Plymouth colony. He threw together^ his scanty belongings and went to the shore where the Mayflower waited, - straining her anchors. A crowd had gathered there, and as Alden was about to step on the gunwale of the boat which would take him out to the waiting vessel, he saw amid th# solemn faces of the Pilgrims the tear-stained countenance of Prlseilla Mullins. Reproach, grief and unutterable longing were In her eyes. He gazed long Into them across tlM distance between them, then Jumped back on shore. "Here I remain," he vowed, raising his hand to heaven. So under the providence of God it happened that not one went back in the Mayflower and the colony was intact, save for the rav» • ages made by death When a woman la as determined.as was Prisdlla to wed^the man'of her choice, mere man hath little, Indeed, to do with it. Ttyis It happened that before he knew it John Alden was safely betrothed to Prlseilla and the Redding day was set.' Finally, the blest day arrived and the Pilgrims were gathered In the meeting house for the wedding ceremony. Miles Standish had left town some weeks before on another Indian expedition. . After the wedding, sermon, according to the goodly custom of the d'ay, had been beard, a form appeared on the threshold of the church, <5lad in armor. Behind him pressed his "Invincible army," now reduced to eight. It was Capt. Miles Standish, returned from the warej# find the lady he loved the brideCof anoj, Dead silence felT' over the church. Prlseilla glanced archly at her erstwhile -lover from the shelter of her husband's strong right arm. With one stride Standish came to their side. He put out his hand to the bridegroom and said, "Let us be friends again." John Alden's face was aglow as he gladly grasped the hand of his old friend. Turning to Prlseilla, Standish bowed low and said •imply, "I should have remembered the adage, 'If you would be well served, you must serve yourself,' and moreover, no man can gather cherries in Kent at the season of Christmas." Prlseilla laughed and flushed. It was not long, however, before John Alden and his reconciled friend went to Duxbury, Mass., and started a settlement there. The bruised heart of Miles Standish had been healed by the soft fingers of a certain Barbara, one of the passengers on 'the second coming of the Mayflower. She became the second Mrs. Miles Standi&h and in amity and affection the two families lived side by Side in Duxbury. Prlseilla became the mother of eleven children. Thus this Pilgrim romance, like the story book tale, ends aptly with the old phrase "And they lived happily ever after."

J Hongkong, Nov. 21.--Stories of a female pirate leader and her desperate * band of Chinese buccaneers, who seised the British steamer Sul- An, overcame the ship's crew after a sanguinary battle, and then escaped with all the cash and valuables on board, were related by the passengers who were landed from the vessel. Throughout the piratical adventure the woman leader is said to have calmly directed the movements of her hand and was wounded together with three of the buccaneers when the passengers and crew engaged them in battle.
