The English senti- ment would probably be favorable to his returning, s his Balkan course was largely the same as that of the British forelgn office. The English also have a warm admiration for Delcasse as one of the chief figures In forming the entente cordiale between England and France. But his strength, and the recognition of his ability as a diplomatist, have always been greater abroad, notably in Ej d, Russia and America, than at ho The personal side of M.

FEven his associates in the ministry knew litle or nothing of how he wan shaping forelgn policles relating to the war. He seldom joined them ex- cept ot cabinet meetings when the dis- fulrs, often without keeping seldom letting their purport be generall known among officlals. Gradually eameo to be felt In the ministry that casse was too exclusive in ot earrying on the foreign had a good deal to do in bringing the recent change. Absorbed in Work. Delcasse’s systematio habits fered much from those of othar This led to' a comparison between babita of Millerand, the war minister, and Delcasse, forelgn minister. Millerand is & man of Intense applica- ton. He gets absorbed in his work at the war office. forgets his meals, untl & late hour at night attending to various detalls, and finally finds himselt in a state of physical exhaustion. Del- casse is just the reverse. He s a man of serupulous regularity. He gets up very early in the morning and is one of the exrifest arrivals at the foreign of- iggz,. h £ carly. . He gocs stralght home, taking no vart in the restaurant, or gay life. He zoes to bed early, and has n standing order that he is not to be swakencd, no matter how urgent the business way be. This was in marked contrast to some of his cabinet assocl- ates, who were on ocull night and day on anything urgent in their branches of war work. As minister of foreign affa'rs, Del- casse had at his disposal the splendid vrivate apartments at the Quay d'Orsay alwaya set aside for the head of the of- he was ‘the one forelgn made use of them. The quarters Include handsome salons, wiivate dining rooms, bed chambers, ete., with an outlook on the spacious gardens 4f- the establishment. They are along. sido the rters of Viviani, president of the councll, who has never falled to use bis share of these handsome apart- meats, Lives Modeatly. But Delcasse has always preferred to occupy s most modest apartment on the Avenue de Clichy. The Avenue de Clichy is the main thoroughfare of Montmartre, the center of Bohemian life, and is a sort of Conmey Island and Midway Plalsance rolled together. The Delcasse quarters are in the midst of such bizarre surround'ngs, on the upper floor of a bullding having stores on the strect. The urtists for a New York fashion journal used to oceupy the apartment above. It was always more or less of a surprise to officials that the head of the foreign office should put aside the sumptuous uarters at his disposal, and choose this ahode in the heart of Bohemis. And yet the scrupulous regularity of Delcasse's priva o ife is recognized, and his cho'ce Of this quarter i3 merely a matter of Ppersonal taste, When Deleasse went to Petrograd us French, ambassador a few years ago his systematie and simple babits were made evident there; He took po part in the Righ life of the Russian capital.

Under Von Beseler stand General Von Btadorft ag governor of the ecity of War- saw and militafy chief, and His Bxcel- lency Kries as administrative chief in charge of all civillan matters, Under them stands Police President Von Glase- napp, former police president of Cologne, who exerts both military and civil au- thority, the first under the direction of Von Etadorff, the second under Kries.

Proouring an ordi- nary leather satchel, we placed the dia- monds in it and left for the railroad | station at nightfall. The situation was | disquieting, for a number of reasons. The station was crowded, the streets full of people hurrying out of Paris before the approaching army. “We dined at the buffet of the railroad statlon—very poorly, because the respon- sibllity of the safety of those jewels spolled our appetites, It seemed to both of us that the eyes of every person in the restaurant were fixed upon that leather bag, and it occurred to us what a simple matter it would be for an ill- deslgning, audaclous person to make a considerable haul that evening in the confusion of the exodus. We succeeded in getting places in the train, crowded to overflowing with panicky passengers. When we arrived at our journey's ena we were not near the end of our troubléy with those famous jewels It was al- most impossible to find a safe in which to put them. We had been preceded, it seemed, by every owner of a pearl neck- lace in Paris, and all the boxes of the only safety deposit place in the city were already filled. We finally found an empty drawer in the safe of a branch of & Parisian bank, and it is there the Jewels of the crown have been in safe keeping ever since, always under the watchful eye of men of the Fine Arts, men detalled by the bank, and all of them supervised by private detectives. “The watch over the paintings and ob- Jects of art is an even more important affalr. They filled scores of moving vans assembled in a large court yard, where there were formerly shoe shops, lock- emiths and small trades people of all sorts, who gave up thelr establishments in order to contribute to the safety of | the national art treasures. All the doors leading to the court were sealed up, bars placed on all windows, fire fighting ap- paratus installed, and constantly, day and night, the entire block around this court was patroled by territorials with fixed bayonets. “In addition to the art treasures of | the Louvre and other Parls museums, | such as the Luxembourg and Cluny, the chauteaux of Fontainebleau and Com- piegne were stripped of everything that was movable and the greater part of the art treasures of Arras have also been saved.” ——— DEATH RECORD Rosalla Foster, Rosalia Foster, wife of Harry V.
