Just Like Any Country Girls
By JBin B. Wood
Bpecial Cable to Th Journal and The Chicago
Hatty News.
( Cwpyrirht. 1819. by Chicago Daily News Co.)
Diekirch, Luxemburg, May 9.
Royal 'women are just like other coun
division are concerned. Consequently
this" story, is of considerable interest to
those individuals knowing royalty only
at a distance and 4 seeing it only , on
formal occasions without mentioning
several million democratic Americans
not knowing royalty at all.
k When the division, after the armistice,
settled down for an easy life in Luxem
burg Brigadier General Edward L. King
of Washington, commanding the Sixty
fifth brigade. said to Major Albert L.
Culbertson of Delaven, 111., commanding
the 123d machine gun battalion, "Can't
you take a few of those huskies of yours
and organize a show to entertain the:
gang nights?" A weete later the TMnty
Moore Cabaret and Blackfaee Minstrels''
made their initial bow and eventually
started on the road, for a tour of the
different Luxemburg' vttlages where the
men' were billeted and a few days, ago
reached Colmarberg, where the 19-year-old
grand duchess and; her four , royal
sisters live in a summer palace.
GIRLS WERE FISHIXO
After ; the rehearsal for the : evening
show the amateur actors wondered to a
lake near the town to; see how the fish
ing was. " Several native Luxemburg
girls were ' already there and ' socially
greeted the newcomers. -. The fishing
seemed good and the girls talked good
English, mentioning . that they came
from the royal palace nearby. "Come
and see our show tonight," said Private
Paul Pittges to one of them. "That will
be lovely," declared the girl the same'
as any American village -maiden-- would
do. "Bring all the other girls, to, for
there Is plenty- of room for them," added
Pittges, indicating , the other fisher
maidens. "I am only a maid but 1 will
see whether they will come," said the
giel,. running away. "Yes, they will be
very glad to come," she declared when
she returned. In a few minutes the
boys went back to get their evening
chow and prepare for the show. '
' About the same time a dignified fac
totum appeared at the building used as
a theatre and with much formality in
formed Lieutenant Francisco Ballentine
of New Tork, director of the show,' that
the grand duchess and the royal family,
having accepted an Invitation to attend
the show, desired to know at what time
Kit started.
LIEUTEITANT, PERPLEXED !
' The prospect of royal visitors was al
most too much for the lieutenant, who
-wildly appealed for advice to Colonel
Milton J. Foreman of Chicago, com
manding the 122d artillery . billeted. In
that area and Who was more or less ac
quainted with the duchess. Colonel
Foreman being a former alderman who
once wore a silk hat as a member of a
committee receiving a visiting prince. Is
considered an authority on royal ques
tions. "An invitation, to the -royal family
should be given only by the president
of the United States or his military rep
resentative, the commander-in-chief of
the expedition," said Colonel Foreman.
"But this invitation was given to one
of the palace maids and what is more
'everybody is coming, so' what shall I
do?" Insisted Lieutenant Ballentine.
."If they were Invited through a maid
it isn't formal, so let them come and
enjoy the show," replied Foreman
promptly.
Before the curtain was due to rise
upon the .badly awed troupe the royal
family filed in and took the front bench
which ' had been reserved for them.
Everybody in the audience stood at at
tention as instructed. A military escort
and two Luxemburg gandarmes came las
far as the door, where Private Pittges
was . stationed to receive the guests he
had invited and escort them . to their
seats. . , . :. "
The. duchess and. her sisters showed a
thorough knowledge of English as soon
as the show started, laughing and .ap
plauding enthusiastically at the jokes
and other, horse-play' acts. A sketch ; In
which Cor,Poral William Fairarjof
Chicago impersonated a mule, while a
blackfaced driver explained the ani
mal's deviltries, threw the ruler .into
peals of laughter. After the show she
insisted upon shaking hands with every
member , of the company. ,
- A fiction writer , might evolve a ro
mance about . the duchess and the
humble soldier, but this Is the entire
story. "Possibly she is again fishing at
the lakeside while the boys who gave
her' an evening's, fun are homeward
bound.-

when they encountered the bland 'Dan

maidenly "Daniels statement concerning

So much of the grotesque has been

moved the hide from the youjigster with
the most 'charming grace in the world.

victim did not realise that h s had been

SMALL: POWERS -fM
HOLD INDEPENDENT
PEACE CONFERENCE
" - "
Minor. Nations Have . Hopes for
; Ultimate Recognition of
. "-Their Claims. .
By Robert J Prew
Paris, May 9. (L N. S.) The peace,
conference may develop into a double
session with the small powers meeting
Independently of the big nations. .
President Wilson's uncompromising
attitude .regarding Italy, which has al
ready merited' the gratitude of the lensrr
nations, is stimulating the movement of
the samller powers to get official recog
nition, by the conference, ,
The : intercession by ' Colonel K. M.
House, in behalf of the Irish-Americano,
which resulted in Premier Lloyd George
granting them an audience, is. regarded
as a most hopeful sign. Even If the
minor nations do not Ret official recog
nition in the peace conference, they will,
at. least, have an opportunity of getting
an unofficial hearing.
While the scheme for a special con
ference by the little nations has not
been definitely worked out, it Is under
stood that it probably will assume the
form of giving a public hearing of all
their alms and later, a complete pro
gram wljl be drawn up to be presented
to the League of. Nations for Its future
guidance.
It Is significant that in this sugges
tion to line up the small powers the
greatest friendliness of spirit is seen to
ward the League of Nations, It Is prob
able that the pathway will be smoothed
out at the beginning by publishing a
concrete and definite program on which
the. whole world., may look and the
League of Nations act .
Congressman James A.. Ilamlll of Jer
sey City, who is here as counsel for the
Ukrainian-Americans: Frank P. .Walsh,
a representative of the Irish-Americans,
and others are enthusiastic over the pro
poxal. "Never have the small nations had
such a chance to get together," said Mr.
Walsh today.
is stated that his 111 health was re
sponsible, but allied delegates leaving
the hall called It an intolerable outrage." -
