QUEEN WITH OWN
HANDS ACTED 15
FOOD DISTRIBUTOR
LONDON, June 15.—While thousands
of dirty-faced ragged children scream
ed applause and berry-faced, frowsy
mothers roared a deeper tone, the
Queen of England and the Princess
Mary drove to North Lambeth to open
a new public kitchen for the Food
Controller. The Queen ladled out boil
ed rice with her own doyal hands and
the Princess collected the food tickets
and speared them on the files until
over 2,000 meals had been served.
London’s great extremes of riches
and squalor were never shown in more
decisive contrast.
The little vicar of the neighborhood
church bent himself almost double and
his face was red as the Mayor’s scarlet
robe when Queen Mary shook his hand
and “how do you do?” His little
son of three years, al Idiked out in
starchy Sunday-school clothes, wriggl
er with childish diffidence at the touch
of the Queen’s hand on his baby cheek.
“The Queen,” said the Vicar after
ward, “The Queen; she shook hands
with me and she gave my little boy a
pat on the cheek. The Queen asked
me ‘is this your little son?’ The Queen
did that.”
After the movie man finished “shoot
ing” the royal mother and her daugh
ter the neighborhood began to Alj
past the food counter. Soup-bowls,
pitchers, platters, plates, saucers and
buckets, some washed as they had
never been washed before, others with
their natural democratic coat of grease
were shoved into the white-gHoved
hands of the elegant lady in grey. The
lady would smile and ask: “What do
you want? Rice? Roast Beef?” The'
Queen did that. These unwashed, f
brown-toothed, yellow-complexioned j
natives of the neighborhood were going
to eat food served by the Queen her-!
self. Some were so overcome by the,
event that they tilted their plates and
spattered the floor with rice pudding.
Said Queen Mary to one dark-haired
young woman, “Are these your chil
dren?” “They are, mum," the girl re
plied, “They are; all seven of ’em.
Thank you mum.” She straightened
the little brood into single file and
inarched out at the head of her own
procession, carrying plates of boiled
rice, gelatine pudding and roast beef.
Princess Mary, without looking at
the reference books, is about nineteen.
She would be rated a pippin at any
junior prom in any American school. A
high-school senior would notice that
she has pretty blue eyes and the kind
of a mouth that was made for nut-sun
daes at the corner drug-store on these
hot summer evenings. Standing al
ways close by her mother’s side, she
seemed slightly “fussed” during the
ceremonial presentations. Her hands
shifted somewhat nervously, while her
pink cheeks flushed .a deeper pink. At
the doorway of the food kitchen stood
■> London Bobby, straight and soldier
ly. His job was to regulate the flow
of customers. An inquisitive fox-ter
rier, dirty in harmony with the neigh
borhood and sniffing hopefully the
scent of roast beef, was -shooed away
by the cop. Undaunted, the pup hid
among the next batch of customers and
sneaked in to have a look at the Queen.
And he was such a nervy, persistent
little cuss that the titled ladies clust
ered her Majesty allowed him to stay.
“Good bye,” said the Queen to various
people when the neighborhood had
been fed.
Even a Queen can't be expected to
distinguish in a crowd between those
who had been presented to her and !
those who haven’t. So Queen Mary
nodded and said “good-bye” to an ord
irary American reporter. It “fussed”
him a little, but he mustered his party
manners and got off a “good-bye” of
his own. Princess Mary didn’t make
the same mistake.

"MO OF BALTIC”
UNIQUE POINT IN
RUSSIAN_EIVIPIRE
WASHINGTON, D. C„ June 15.—1 n a
war geography bulletin the National
Geographic Society gives the following
information about the fortified city of
Kronstadt where rebel Russians at
tempted to set up a separate govern
ment:
"The Malta of the Baltic” is the
name given to Kronstadt and the small
teland of Kotlin which it occupies, but
a more appropriate name would be “the
Gibralter 08 Petrograd,” for the sup
posedly impregnable fortress com
mands the sea avenue to the great
Russian capital.
“The island of Kotlin, which is a lit
tle more than seven miles long and a
mile and a quarter wide, lies at the
western extremity of the Bay of Neva,
in the fresh water discharged by the
River Neva. To the west is the Gulf
of Finland.
“Kotlin was first fortified in 1703 by
Peter the Great, when it was wrestled
from the Swedes, but it was not until
seven years later that the great mon
arch laid out the town of Kronstadt
and be Jan the systematic erection of
its defenses. Three thousand men are
said to have been employed on this
work, and it was not completed until
the reign of Peter’s daughter Eliza
beth.
“The town, which had a population
of 65,000 at the beginning of the world
war is intersected by two waterways—
the Canal cf Peter the Great, begun in
1721 but not completed until 31 years
later, and the Catherine. Canal, con
structed in 1782. Between these two
canals stands the Italian palace of
Prince Menschikoff, one of the most
picturesque figures in all Rissian his
tory. Born of the most humble par
ents, Menschikoff at the age of 20 was
selling meat pies in the streets of Mos
cow when he attracted the attention of
Lefort, Peter the Great's favorite. On
the death of the latter Menschikofl
succeeded to the of honor with
his soverign and served him enwget
ically. It is said of Menschikoff that
he could “drill a regiment, build a
frigate, administer a province and de
capitate a rebel with equal facility.”
Upon the death of Peter he became the
virtual ruler of Russia during the brief
reign of Peter’s widow, Catherine I. A
turn of the wheel of fortune finally
cast him from his high estate —his
great wealth, largely acquired through
corruption, was confiscated, and he and
his family were exiled to Siberia
where he died in 1729.
“The modern fortifications of Kron
stadt were designed in large measure
by General Todleben, the famous in
gineer whose system of earthworks en -
abled Sebastopol to resist the siege of
the French and English allies for 349
days during the Crimean war. Todle
ben devoted 15 years to Kronstadt’s de
fense, profiting Wy his wide experi
ence at Sebastopol. The fortifications
are in the main low, thickly armoured
earthworks with large Krupp guns.
There are three well-equipped harbors
—the naval, middle and commercial.
“Guarding the approach to Perograd,
which is 19 miles to the east, Kron
stadt is also the chief station of Rus
sia's Baltic fleet.
“While the city has some trade in
iron, hemp, flax, tar, and oil it is hand
icapped to some extent commercially
by the fact that the harbors are ice
bound from December to April. During
these winter months the place is de
cidedly dreary in appearance.
“Peterhof, a town of 16,000 inhabit
ants founded by Peter the Great in
1711 and famous for its imperial palace,
built in imitation of Versailles, lies to
the southeast of Kronstadt a distance
of ten miles.
"During the summer season in peace
times passenger steamers ply between
Kronstadt and ePtrograd with ferry
boat frequency, the trip requiring an
hcur and a half.’”
QUIT HIS JOB AS STREET ( AR
CONDUCTOR TO GO TO W AR
LONDON, June 15.—Tom Phillips, of
Wichita. Kansas, quit his job as a
street car conductor to go to war. He
bummed his way to England with Tom
La Roche, of Oakland. California. They
landed in August 1915, and joined the
Welsh Guards.
“Tom was killed at Ypres in July,
1916,” said Phillips. “I've been pretty
lucky—wounded twice but nothing ser
ious. First I got slammed on the head
with a pal’s rifle butt during bayonet
fighting with Fritz. It was so close
wc couldn’t always be sure who was
getting hit. But the real blighty
wounds came last September on the
Somme. A machine-gum bullet went
through my left wrist and another
through my leg. and then they ope rat- <
ed on my head, and,— they’re still at it."
