D’Aquin George M. Bryce 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. .

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.

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.

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.

GENEVA, May 24—During the last fortnignt, the wireless installa tions around Lake Geneva, from the Fort of Xt.

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. • • • Criminals of France are literally Polish Baron Seized For Slaying of Prince The Mysterious Death of Nobleman Causes Brother-in-Law’s Arrest for Deed.

Tommy Atkins ’Upper Lip May Get Shaved Old Army Order In Regard to Moustaches Will Very Probably Be Revoked. Special Cable to The American. LONDON, May 24.—There is much agitation among military officers at tached to the War Office owing to the belief that an order will shortly be jiromulgated permittfing iofficers to shave the upper lip. At present, no soldier, be he private or officer, may shave off his mous tache. The army order, dating from 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. Whiskers, if worn, will be of mod erate length. The rule is only relaxed in time of war. The order comes with peculiar hardship on young men who grow hirsute adornments with difficulty Bicycle Frame Hides Money From Police Five Hundred Dollars Found by Sleuths After Search of Many Months.

Women Open Cafe to Keep Men in Village 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 ing to kill its father w’hen it grows up. 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.
