SUNDAY AMERICAN’S SPECIAL CABLE LETTERS RECEIVED FROM ALL THE GREAT CAPITALS OF EUROPE
People Immensely Relieved That
Montenegro Decided to Yield
Scutari to Powers.
BY FREDERICK WERNER.
Special Cable to The American.
BERLIN, May 24.—Probably in no
country' in Europe was the change of
mind of King Nicholas of Montene
gro received with such a feeling of
intense relief as here in Germany.
For though the Government was de
termined to stand by Austria and It
aly, no matter what might have hap
pened, the people as a whole were
bitterly opposed to the idea of Ger
many taking up arms to fight the
battles of others, and many were
those who, sympathizing with Monte
negro, declared Austria’s policy to
have been disgracefully selfish and
hypocritical on the part of a country
which a few years ago took advan
tage of the European situation to
seize without the shadow of right
the Turkish provinces of Bosnia and
Herzegovina, whose inhabitants hated
the Austrians far more than they ever
hated the Turks.
Although everybody is happy that
a European war, which looked al
most inevitable, was avoided in the
eleventh hour, there is a general feel
ing that no matter how the great'
powers may arrange matters in the
.Balkans, the peace to which we are
looking forward will be little more!
than a truce.
Exposure Severe Blow.
In Germany the well founded Dr
Liebknecht disclosures were a terrible
blow in the face of the war party, a
blow which stunned but evidently did
not kill the Government's military!
bills, which will undoubtedly pass, j
Already the first debate of the Pi- j
nance Committee showed that body |
rather favorably disposed toward the
Government’s measures and when it
separated for a brief breathing spell
► it had done Nothing more serious than
to strike out three of the new cavalry
legiments the Government asked for.
The committee met again on Tues
day last and from its meeting it is
quite safe to predict that it will rec
ommend the passage of the military
and naval bills practically unaltered
on all material points though efforts
will be made to cut down the enor
mous expenses. There is little doubt
, but that the Government will accept
rather than dissolve the Reichstag
and run the risk of strengthening the
hands of the Socialists by an appeal
to the country.
• * •
Well may the Krupp affair be
termed the German Panama for it
now appears to be like a cancerous
tumor whose roots and tentacles
stretch out in all directions into the
German political body, revealing a
state of. corruption which nobody In
Germany had dreamed of.
Testimony Substantiated.
As long as the accusations against
the large arms manufacturers were
resting only on the testimony of Dr.
Liebknecht a Socialist meihber of the
Reichstag, nobody cared very much,
for all kinds of statements have re
peatedly been made by the Socialists
tm very slight evidence merely to
disgrace or embarrass the Govern
ment and the militarists. But now
the matter haS assumed a much more
serious aspect.
There appears to be every reason
to suppose that the Center part,
which loves to pose as the most pa
triotic of German political bodies,
have for a long time had intimate
knowledge of all the details of the
scandals, but their love of party be
ing greater than their patriotism, they
concealed what constituted a great
danger to the country in order to
make use of their knowledge to fur
ther their own particular party
scheme. And when they found that
their scheme did not work, they did
rot lay the information they possess-
V ed directly before- the Kaiser or the
* Chancellor of the Empire, which
would have saved Germany from dis
grace in the eyes of the world. But
in their mad thirst for revenge they
turned over the information as well
as the proofs to the Socialists with
the distinct understanding that the
revelations must be made publicly in
the Reichstag.
. See Green and Become
Millionaire at Once
New Thinkers Have New Method
by Which Fortune May Easily
be Made.
Special Cable to The American.
LONDON, May 24.—“See green’’
and become a millionaire.
Here, in brief is the recipe for
making a modest income of say 100,-
000 a year. The recipe has been dis
covered by some New Thinkers.
So simple is the recipe that quite
a iot of people will be regretting that
they have missed the $100,000 for so
many years. But of course, $100,000
need not be the limit; the yearn
income Can be increased by the am
bitious.
The recipe, according to Mr. A os-
borne Eaves, a New Thought writer,
is.to sit down in a quiet room, called
the - Silence” and picture in exactly
the same manner every day what is
desired. So that if anyone wanted
$100,000. it would be necessary to pic
ture this precise sum regularly.

Prince Erik of Denmark Has a
Flirtation With Daughter of
England’s King.
Special Cable to The American.
LONDON, May 24.—When King
George and Queen Mary towards the
end of April went away for several
days to visit the Earl of Crewe they
left behind them, like “Sleeping
Beauty” in the fairy tale, their little
daughter, Princess Mary, all alone, a*
far a« it is possible for a Princess
to be alohe in the big Buckingham
Palace.
But they left the little mischievous
god of love out of their calculations.
For there arrived from abroad one
day during the absence of the King
and Queen, a young Prince. He was
tall and straight and slender, with
blue eyes and fresh cheeks, and he
was just the right age, eighteen.
The young Prince Charming’s name
is Erik, and he is. a son of Queen
Alexandra’s youngest brother. Prince
Vlademar of Denmark. He went
straight to Marlborough House where
he was to live as* the guest of his
aunt, Queen Alexandra and she sent
for I^ineess Mary, who was not slow
in cbming.
The two young people immediately
took a liking to each other and old
Queen Alexandra’s eyes beamed
when she saw the new expression
coming into Princess Mary’s face,
the expression of a >oung girl who
has* the novelty of her first flirtation.
What is to be the outcome of
this royal romance? Wei] it is hard
to tell. But the two young people
will have plenty 'of opportunity to
meet for Prince Erik is to stay in
England to learn farming on a big
estate in Oxfordshire, and Princess
Mary is not going away for any
ength of time until the whole royal
family goes to Denmark late this
• iijnmer, and then Prince Erik will
be traveling along. Probabilities are
that he will follow the example of
his royal Uncle, King Haakon, of Nor
way, who, when still known as Prince
Carl of Denmark, came over here
and captured the heart of his cousin.
Princess Maud, who now shares the
throne with him as Independent Nor
way’s first Queen.

THE QUEEN’S LAST RIDE
By ELLA WHEELER WILCOX.
T Hb Queen is taking a drive to-day;
They have hung with purple the carriage way
They have dressed with purple the royal ti-ack
Where the Queen goes forth and never comes back.
Let bo man labor as she goes by,
On her last appearance to mortal eye.
With heads uncovered, let all men wait
For the Queen to pass in her regal state.
Shall flags of all na ions be halfmast furled
For the silent lady of royal birth
Who is riding away from the courts of earth;
Riding away from the world’s unrest,
To a mystical goal on a secret quest.
Army and navy should iead the way
For that wonderful coach of the Queer’s
Kings and princas and lords cf laud*
Shall ride behind-her. a hurab'e band.
And over the city and over the world
Though in regal splendor she drives through town,
Her robes are simole—she wears no crown.
And yet she wears cne; for, widowed no more,
'he is crowned with the love that has gone before,
d crowned with 1 the love she has left behind
the bidder, depths of each thinking mind.
-. neover your heads, lift >our hearts cn hirh,-

Bureaucratic Machine Adopts
Retaliatory Methods to Trade
Mark Registry.
Special Cable to The American.
ST. PETERSBURG, May 24.—A
body called the Committee for the
Protection of Russian Home Indus
tries has begun a policy of pinpricks
over the absence of any treaty be
tween Russia and the United States.
The Washington Government has re
fused henceforth to register Russian
trade marks so long as there is no
treaty. The committee here has se
cured a decision from the Govern
ment to .efuse registration for
American trade marks in Russia.
This means more than it says, for
it enables the bureaucratic machine
to hold up important will on a pre
tent of doubts regarding registration
of any manufacture. Of course, it
robs American inventors of any pro
tection for patents.
May Day Alarm.
The approach of the Russian May
Day, which is May 14, has shaken
the nerves of the Government much
more than in recent years. Here, in
Moscow, Kief, Lodz and Odessa there
are nightly searches in the work
men’s residential district, and every
night dozens of men who are known
to be active in labor politics are
taken off to the house of preliminary
detention, where they will be kept
until the date has passed.
ft is expected some hundreds will
be held for trial for conspiring to
disturb the existing order in the
State.”
There have been similar searches
among university students and junior
lawyers, which goes to establish a
continuance of the old system of
agents provocatures.
“Ringleaders” Police Aides.
“Ringleaders” in a few of the new
fledged political organizations have
proved to be agents of-Okhrana, or
the secret police, to whom they have
turned over lists of membership.
The wholesale expulsion of Jews
from Volsynia in consequence of the
order of the Minister of Justice that
it be considered as outside Jewish
pale, had to be stopped this week, be
cause it paralyzed local business and
removed some thousands of families
from the only districts where they
had any friends.
The order of the Minister of the In
terior has been sent to the Governor
of the province directing him to
cease searches and inspections of
Jews’ passports and to take no ac
tion where families return to their
ftriner homes.

Special Cable to The American.
LONDON, May 24.—Sir Edward
’arson is back in Ulster once more
and we hear that he is going to de
vote himself exclusively to organiz
ing his Orangemen supporters for the
great final fight against Home Rule.
As a matter of fact there does not
seem to be much work left for him
to do, if we are to believe the re
ports of the conservative press which
state that Ulster has everything In
order to prove its loyalty by violent
ly opposing the law passed by Par
liament and signed by the King
According to the “Times'’ Ulster
is even now a nation in arms. A cor
respondent recently described the mil
itary signal service which had been
formed in Ulster and says:
“Stations have been established all
over Ulster, and. if telegraph wires
were cut to-morrow, Belfast and the
other Important centers of organiza
tion in the Northeastern countries
could communicate immediately by
Morse code with the Unionist out
posts at Londonderry and Enniskil

The correspondent states that the
Unionist clubs now number 332, with
a membership of 110,000.
Waltz Tunes Hinder
Wireless Stations
Operators Around Geneva Worried
Until Inventor’s Prank Is
Discovered.
Special Cable to The American.
GENEVA, May 24—During the
last fortnignt, the wireless installa
tions around Lake Geneva, from the
Fort of Xt. Maurice over 3,000 feet
high above Sion to this city, have
been puzzled by receiving fragments
of personal conversation and portions
of waltzes, such as the Merry Widow*,
the Italian National Hymn, etc.
The mystery has been explained
M. Roberto Galetti, an Italian civil
engineer, has discovered after many
years of experiments, the wireless
telephone. He has established sta
tions at I>ausanne, and to amuse a
friend, the Italian engineer places a
phonogTaph in front of the “wire
less phone” and hence the Merry
Widow was heard in the Alps.

Frenchwomen Rule Through
Families; Do Not Need Vote
By LA RACONTEUSE
LOSES PUCE
Special Cable to The American.
PARIS, May 24.—1 have not the
slightest doubt that Miss Uhristabel
Pankhurst, the exiled English suffra
gette, who is still dwelling among us,
and who has been given the cold
shoulder everywhere, has nothing but
contempt and disgust for the women
of France, who have not the slightest
Intention of claiming the vote and
who in turn look upon Miss Pank
hurst and her comrades as maniacs.
Still It would be very wrong to sup
pose that the women of France take
no interest in the political and social
questions of the day, for they are
probably more interested and better
posted than their sisters in any other
country’. And the influence which
they exert is at leaat as great as that
of the women abroad who actually
possess the vote, though their meth
ods are different and their ways more
subtle and womanly.
French Women Powerful.
The moving force behind the move
ment w'hich has been called the re
juvenation of France is the French
woman exerting her power through
husbands and puna, and it is perhaps
not too much to say that France’s
whole present policy is moulded by
the invisible hands of gifted and pa
triotic women.

LONDON, May 24.—There is much
agitation among military officers at

At present, no soldier, be he private

Queen Victoria's time, is as follows:
The hair of the head will be kept
short. The chin and lower lip will
be shaved, but not the upper lip.

Women Open Cafe to

Experiment Tried in Switzerland
Proves an Immense Success
Right From Start.
Special Cable to The American.
GENEVA, May 24.—The women of
Plona, a small village in the Canton
of St. Gall, have opened a cafe in
order to prevent the men visiting
neighboring towns.
The men recently petitioned the lo
cal authorities to open a cheap public
cafe in Plona, where they could s*pen 1
their evenings. Their waves and
daughters objected and the petition
was refused.
In revenge, the men sought enter
tainment in other villages, and the
women thereupon organized a syn
dicate for the purpose of establish
ing a cafe of their own.
trembling in their shoes for the new
science discovered by Countess Me-
luslne also known as Mme. de la
Rochefoucault, makes their profession
already a most hazardous one, so
dangerous that only the most daring
will have the courage to persist, when
discovery and arrest are, almost in
evitable.
To make crim" impossible and to
discover immediately the perpetrator
of any crime in France, it will only
be necessary to pass a law ordering
every person living in France, man,
woman and child, to have his or het
feet photographed and a copy sent to
the police authorities who will file
and classify all these telltale photos.
Innocent in One File.
One big file will then contain the
photographs of the feet of all the
persons without any criminal tenden
cies whatever, and these may be left
entirely out of consideration by the
detectives investigating crimes. But
all the rest of the photos will be di
vided into many classes and kept In
separate files marked burglary, mur
der, patricide and so on.
Suppose then that a man has been
murdered. The photographic rec
ords of the feet of all those who have
been near him will be picked out from
the file marked murder, and if any
of his children have suspicious toes
it will go hard with them until they
are able to prove an alibi. For ac
cording to Gountess Melusine’s new
science you can tell from its toes
whether a ehild in the cradle is go

Question of Bowing
Stirs Paris Society
Fashionable People Perplexed as to
Who Should Greet Other First,
Man or Woman.
Special Cable to The American.
PARIS, May 24.—Should a rnan or
woman bow first? The question Is
being discussed extensively here. At
present, when a man meets a woman
to whom he has been Introduced, lie
iu required by etiquette to acknowl
edge her first.
The rule, however is not free from
pitfalls. The strictly correct* man
ner adopted by French women is that
when without male escort they pass
a man whom she has met once or
twice.
The man thinks he ought to bow,
but wonders whether the woman has
seen him. She sweeps past him with
a rigid face and cuts him dead. He
does* not bow.
Such an incident is sufficient to
ruin a man socially. The writer
therefore concludes that etiquette
should provide some sign from the
woman that she has seen and recog
nized her acquaintance, w’ho then
would not fail to raise his hat.
American Woman Admired by
Statesman Attacked in Note
Held by Police.
Special Cable to The American.
LONDON, May 24.—Society circles
in London, Paris and Rome are busi
ly talking of an affair which seems
likely to lead to the resignation of an
Ambassador whose name is one of the
best known in the diplomatic circles
of Europe. An American woman,
whose wealth and good looks have
attracted much attention on two con
tinents, is concerned in the matter,
w’hich has ramifications of which the
New York police are said to have
knowledge.
It appears that last summer the
diplomat involved was greatly at
tracted by the American woman,
whom he met at various functions in
Paris society, and he showed her
marked attentions. The woman is
married, but her differences with her
husband have been a subject of con
siderable litigation in the American
courts. A visit to Reno has been one
of the incidents of her life. The
Ambassador also is married.
Wife Becomes Aroused.
The diplomat one day suggested to
his w’ife that she invite the American
woman to one of her parties. Un
fortunately he used terms of such
high praise that his wife took um
brage. So alarmed was her demean
or, indeed, that the Ambassador felt
it incumbent upon him to warn the
object of his innocent admiration that
she might expect a communication of
some sort, of which it would be wise
to take no notice.
Apparently, however, nothing hap
pened to justify the nervousness of
the diplomat, and after the Paris
season last year the American wo
man left for one of the fashionable
resorts on the French coast and sub
sequently for New York.
In December, how’ever, a letter was
received at a well-known hotel in
New York, addressed with a name
which closely resembled that of the
woman of the story. It fell Into the
hands of her husband, who did not
open it. thinking it must have been
intended for another man and his
wife who were staying at the same
hotel. So bad was it that he imme
diately put it in the hands of the
New York police, who have the letter
now. The letter was written on the
official paper of the Embassy in
Paris.
The diplomat, who keenly feels the
unpleasantness of the situation, has
tendered his resignation, but the
troubled politics of Europe made his
continued presence in Paris desir
able.

Grape = Nuts
FOOD
You’ll promptly discover the reason why
tens of thousands now eat a regular morn
ing dish of Grape-Nuts and cream as the
cereal part of breakfast.
White bread and many of the pre
pared breakfast foods are made of grains
from which three-fourths of the most
valuable brain-building and health-sus
taining elements has been removed.
Grape-Nuts food is made of whole wheat
and malted barley, milled under scientific
supervision and made into crisp, golden
granules, rich in well-balanced nourish
ment.
At this time of year a dish of Grape-Nuts
and cream, as the cereal part of a meal, is
especially valuable in meeting the require
