Bruce SUNDAY AMERICAN'S SPECIAL CABLE LETTERS RECEIVED FROM ALL THE GREAT CAPITALS OF EUROPE Both Sides of Reichstag Are Dis satisfied With Measure Which Adds Enormous Expense. By FREDERICK WERNER. Special Cable to The American. BERLIN. July 26.—Weeks have now passed since the Reichstag with a suddenness that surprised all Eu rope passed the army bill and gave in to the Government on all points, and during the time that has passed it has been possible to form an idea of the feelings of the Government, as well as of the people, toward the new conditions. It is perhaps not too much to say that the general feeling on both sides is one of dissatisfaction, which on the part of the common people is minglfd with disgust and contempt of its rep resentatives. Kaiser Is Delighted. The Kaiser, of course, who now, as ever, looks upon the enormous in crease pf armaments solely In the light of the strongest possible guarantee of continued peace, was naturally greatly delighted when he, after months of anxiety, suddenly saw his most cherished wishes fulfilled, and he Is probably the only person In the Empire who continues to feel happy. To the Chancellor of the Empire, Herr von Bethmann Hollweg, and Herr von Herringen the victory, of which they had at times nearly given up all hope, was a source of great satisfaction, which, however, has left a bitter aftertaste of disappointment. When they planned the new bill, which called for such great financial sacrifices, they were were firmly con vinced that it would with one blow establish the absolute military su premacy of Germany in Europe. Officer List Increased. The bill gave this country the enor mous army of 669 battalions of in fantry, 550 regiments of cavalry, in creased the readiness and efficiency of the 633 batteries of field artillery, in creased the siege artillery to 55, the sappers to 44 and the train to 26 bat talions. It gave Germany a largely increased number of officers of all grades and created several high mil itary officers and a standing army in time of peace of 820,000 troops. But in spite of all this, Germany's military strength, when compared with that of other powers, remains the same as before. The new army bill fails to establish the hoped-for absolute military supremacy, and in this fact lies the cruel disappoint ment. The enormous sacrifices de manded and made are of no value, for in France a rejuvenated nation has been aroused to an outburst of pa triotism, such as has not been seen since the days of the great Napoleon. And out of this patriotism will arise a I rench army practically equal to the German in numbers of men and in equipment on many points far supe rior. While Russia, Influenced and prodded on by France, is hurriedly building new railroads of the greatest strategical importance and has moved several new army corps nearer to her western frontier. BERLIN. July 26.— Prince Nicholas of Thurn and Taxis is to follow in the footsteps of his two brothers and his cousin, who renounced their titles and rank for love. Prince Nicholas already has given up his position in the navy and part of h1s inheritance, and Is planning to purchase a ranch in Texas. The young woman for whom he is sacri ficing all is the Munich diva. Fraulein Rechberg, of the Gartner Platz The ater. They had planned to he married quietly in London, but the family of the Prince intervened. They will sail for America immediately after the marriage. Hall Caine Calls Women Best Critics Famous Novelist Tells Booksellers That Wives Make Success of Library Work. Special Cable to The American.

She saw royalty at close range. By VIOLA ALLEN. Special Cable to The American. BERLIN. June 12.—From Paris, city of beauty, to Berlin, solid, substan tial. clean and very beautiful, too, in Its well-ordered way. The famous siegalle with its numerous statues and stately avenues, and the great Arch of Victory, through which one passes from the station to the noted linden-lined thoroughfares, make the visitor's first view of Berlin impres sive. The time of my visit is a gav one, and everyone seems in festive mood on account of the marriage celebra tion of Princess Victoria Luise. The streets are packed and lined with people trying to catch a glimpse of the many royal guests who have come to attend the wedding, and the weath er is as bright and sunshiny as any bride could wish for. It Is Wednes day morning of the wedding week, j and the glorious Unter den Linden, of j which we have a perfect view from our hotel window, has been swept and garnished its entire length, and is lined with soldiers ready for the Eng lish King and Queen to pass on their way from the station to the palace. Royalty at Close Range. The Kaiser and the Kalserin, the royal princesses and princes and sev eral high German officials and Am bassadors went down to meet the spe cial trairt and returned in interesting procession. After the guards and the officers rode the King and the Em peror in full uniform. In the following carriage was Queen Mary in a lovely frock and small flower hat of shaded violet. In the same carriage rode the German Em press. wearing deep old rose chiffon with feather-trimmed hat of the same color. Then followed the other mem bers of the royal family. The .Crown Princess Cecile, very pretty in pink with a black tuilb hat, and the bride- elect in white linen coat and skirt embroidered in blue, with a white hat, looked very sweet and girlish, though rather pale, and evidently a little worn and tired. The great affection in which the Kaiser’s daughter is held was very touching, and Prince Ernst seemed very proud and happy. He looked al together the Ideal bridegroom. After the royal families and their suites rode the other dignitaries and personages, followed by more guards, officers and soldiers. The weather was perfection, and the enthusiasm of the crowds, the glitter of uniforms and the clatter of horses’ feet made a great spectacle. Enter Czar Nicholas. The next day the same preparations w'ere repeated, only there were twice as many soldiers and guards, ordered out for the coming of the Czar ot Russia. Evidently many more precau tions have to be taken to prevent any kind of political disturbance when the Russian ruler travels abroad than for most of the crowned heads from oth er countries. But in spite of the fact that there is almost constant danger of an anarchistic bomb descending upon him, the Czar looked very calm and peaceful as he drove beside the Kaiser up the beautiful avenue to the palace, amid much cheering. Gala Opera Performance. In the evenings it seemed as if ail Berlin went to the opera or to the theaters. There was a splendid per formance at the Royal Opera House on Wednesday evening, and a brilliant audience, which the handsome toi lets, the sparkle of jewels and many uniforms made unusually striking. 1 was much impressed by the rapt at tention every one paid to the musi•*. The Germans. from the Emperor down, take their opera (like every thing else) very seriously, and the many rules strictly enforced to pre vent any disturbance or distraction while the performance is in progress ^compel all visitors to do likewise. The opera begins precisely at 7:30 .o’clock, and every one is expected to be in his or her seat punctually. Indeed, after the first note is sounded, no one is allowed to enter until an intermission comes, and to speak one word, even in the softest whisper, is unpardonable. Army and navy officers are fined if they come late to the opera, and they are obliged to wear full-dress uniform. 1 One young officer, who, in his haste to be on time, forgot his white gloves, was severely reprimanded by his su perior. and punished otherwise for not wearing them. The opera at the gala performance was ‘‘Lohengrin." and it was given only for the royal visitors and Invited guests. It is said that the Princess Victoria Luise herself selected that opera. A Turkish Opinion of Us. It was a tremendously interesting week in Berlin, though we had not planned to be here because of the wedding gayety, but to meet friends coming from the East who had lived in Constantinople during the win ter. I find that the feeling regard ing the Turks and the war, of people who really know, is wonderfully dif ferent from the prejudiced accounts we read in the daily papers. There is no doubt that Turkey with her internal struggles, was en tirely unprepared for war. a fact her enemies took advantage of. Bui It is no less certain that the Turkish sol diers displayed a bravery, a loyalty and endurance splendid beyond words, often fighting with scarcely any food or water, and without even clothing or shoes. It was the misfortune, certainly not the fault, of the Turkish army that there should have been lack of management and executive ability among the heads of the gov ernment. Because Turkey Is Mohammedan and not a Christian country, we are apt to imagine them a rather barbarous people, when, as a matter of fact, it would be difficult to find more culture and refinement the world over than among the high-class Turks. With the idea in mind of the pre vailing impression of Turkey in Amer ica, I had a very amusing conversa tion during dinner at the Embassy with the young son of the Turkish Ambassador, who, though only 14, had all the dignity and suavity of an accomplished diplomat of 4ft. Besides, he spoke English. FVench, German, Italian perfectly, and. of course, his native tongue, and probably Greek and Arabic as well. I also found this >oung diplomat extremely well posted on affairs in general, and very much interested in art, which he discussed with great understanding. Finally 1 asked him if he would not like to see America, to which he replied with much seriousness: “Yes, very much, but I should prefer to wait until it becomes a more thoroughly civilized country.” By dint of further inquiry 1 found these impressions were due to a diligent study of “The Life and Ad ventures of Buffalo Bill." To this clever little man from the Far East America seemed one huge wild West, which I thought was rather paying us hack in our own coin. Count Zeppelin’s Airship. Several times in Berlin I saw the big Zeppelin passenger airship, “The Hansa.” pass over our heads Just above the tops of the buildings, en gaged in making regular trips be tween given points. The noise of the engines was simply deafening, and the ship looked like a tremendous uncan ny fish sailing through the air. The passenger car Is rather to the front of the huge, cigar-shaped body, and the seats are so hung that there is little or no motion felt. To me this looked the most uninviting mode of travel imaginable. I was glad to take even the Continental steamers In preference en route to London. MANEUVERS LONDON OFFERS SHOW FRANCE RICH FIELD FOR ITS NIL NEED GIRL DENTISTS Experts Declare That Blockade Is Now Impossible and Swift Cruisers Are Necessary, By GEORGE DUFRESNE. Special Cable to The American. PARIS, July 26.—For the first time In many years France has during the recent naval maneuvers been able to place a real first-class modern navy at the disposal of the admirals in command and the results achieved have been highly satisfactory, while at the same time the experiments made have been of the greatest value to the experts of the Navy Depart ment, who are to plan the further evolution of the country's naval de fenses. As may perhaps be remembered, the maneuvers which were originally planned to take place in the Atlantic were transferred to the Mediterra nean in order to have the navy as close as possible to the sphere where its presence might be needed at any time during the Balkan disturbances. Blockade Is Impossible. I have just had a talk with the for mer Secretary of the Navy, Vice Ad miral Boue DeLapeyrer. First of all, he said, ihe maneuvers showed conclusively that a close blockade of an enemy’s port is no longer possible. The n;odern submarine, which is able to go a considerable distance away from the shore, as well as the swift torpedo boat, quite apart from the danger of mines, compel the blockad ing fleet to keep at a long distance, and this in turn makes new methods of blockading necessary, “If the maneuvers we carried on outside of Toulon,” the Admiral said, “had been attempted in real warfare there would not have been a single vessel left on either side. In this opinion I am upheld by our most fa mous naval expert, M. Plerreval. Needs Swift Cruisers. “The maneuvers further prove that France needs a number of light, swift cruisers in order to locate and anni hilate the destroyers of an enemy. At present we possess none of these at all. while England has 66 and Ger many 34. and we are corripelled to use our great destroyers of from 400 to 700 tons instead, but they were not able to fill the bill. “The work done by officers and men during the maneuvers was excellent and equal to that of any foreign navy, and if anything might be criticised it is this, that, we .are not able to coal either in port or in open sea as quick ly as American vessels have done, but the Minister of Marine has already found means to remedy this, and very extensive drills are even now being carried out at Toulon and Bizerta.” Few Officers Available. The weakest point in France’s naval armor is admittedly the rather alarm ing shortage of naval officers of near ly all grades. There are not nearly officers enough to fill positions on the newly built deradnoughts. The battleship Jean Bart, for in stance, ought to have, besides its commander, a captain, an officer in charge of the ammunition stores, six naval lieutenants and thirteen ca dets. It will be impossible to pro vide all these for quite some time, and Jean Bart and our other modern dreadnoughts have only two lieuten ants and eight cadets. The new naval bill which materially increases the salaries of aU officers will, It Is hoped, provide all the officers needed. Demand Growing for Private Practice and Clinics Among Children. Special Cable to The American. LONDON, July 26.—Apparently there is an open field for young wom en in dentistry, for the supply does not meet the growing demand from private practices and the dental clinics for children which are spring ing up all over the country. At the National Dental Hospital It was said yesterday that though every facility Is offered to women dental students there, the response is not ex tensive. The average number of women students attending at on* time is between two and three, and some of these come from abroad. Dutch girls make particularly good students. One of them. Miss Martens, has been appointed woman- dentist to the Queen of Holland. Bui English girls are no less successful— as witness Miss L. F. Paine, who qualified only last November, and has now been elected house-surgeon at the National Dental Hospital. “I can not understand why there are not a greater number of women entering the profession,” said a suc cessful woman dentist, “and can only conclude it is because they think there is something unpleasant and dis agreeable about a dentist's work. To me it is such fascinating work that I forget ail the unpleasantness. My clients are women and children. I do not take men patients. “The mechanical work—the prepar ing of gold plates and so on—is par ticularly interesting, and most of the women dentists I know like that part of the work Immensely. “There are a few women quacks, just as there are men quacks. The public needs to be educated out of go ing to dentists who advertise. That Is a Rure sign of quackery, because the genuine dentist is forbidden by the etiquette of his profession to ad vertise, and Is struck off the register if he (or she) does.” Golden Cards Out to His Golden Wedding Russian Millionaire Sends 200 Invi tations Made of Pure Metal to Anniversary Affair. Pastor to Use Boxing To Make Christians Minister in Slums of London Will Try to Stimulate Church With Athletics. Special Cable to The American. LONDON, July 26.—The Rev. Ever- nrd Digby has ju^t been made vicar of St. Agatha’s. Shoreditch, one of the “slummlest" and one of the toughest quarters in the East End of London.

He intends, so ho tells his friends, to make men -of the young “Hooli gans” of Shoreditch by turning them into athletes before inducing them to attend church. Czar Gives Hospital To Raise Birth Rate Tercentenary of Romanoff Dynasty Will Be Celebrated by Opening of $500,000 Institution. Special Cable to The American. ST. PETERSBURG, July 26— By an imperial decree on the subject of in fantile mortality In Russia St. Peters burg is to have a special institution In which children and nursing moth ers can be received. The amount of $500,000. given by private banks of ■this city and Moscow on the occa sion of the tercentenary of the Ro manoff dynasty, will be devoted to the upkeep of the institution, which has been placed under the patronage of the Czarina. TORIES' TACTICS WITH POLITICS Work of Obstruction Forces Par liament to Pass Act to Let Any Legislation Pass. t Special Cable to The American, LONDON, July 26.—The parlia mentary season is drawing toward its close and the members of both sides* after the merciless prodding of the Government, almost without exception feel as if In all England it would bn utterly impossible to find a set ot harder working men and imagine that the lot of the average coal miner it far preferable to their own. Unfortunately this opinion Is not shared by the general public, whose opinion of their legislators was quite accurately expressed by the editor of The World's Work, who the other day preached a little sermon to the mem bers of the House. It can not be denied that the Tories alone arc to blame for that, because, by their obstructionary tactics, they made the Parliament Act necessary, the result of which is that all Impor tant bills of a controversial nature are cramiAed into the first two sessioas* while the third Parliament will have nothing to do but formally pass bills which ought to have become iaws long before. Special Cable to The American. , BT. PETERSHLRCL July 26.- M. Spiridinoff, a well-known Moscow millionaire, is about to celebrate his j golden wedding. Two hundred guests have been invited. Each of them re ceived the other day a card of invi tation made of pure gold. As each card weighs twenty grammes, which is rather leas than three-quarters of an ounce avoirdu pois, the total amount of gold used is about nine pounds. The metal was transformed into these unique misisves, on which the invitation was worked In enamel, by a Moscow' goldsmith. Each invita tion card is valued at about $30. Lady Paget to Give Biggest Dublin Party American Wife of English General 16 Sending Out Record Number of Invitations. Special Cable to The American. LONDON, July 26.—Lady Paget, American wife of General Sir Arthur Paget, has never completely recovered from the fall down an elevator shaft in Belgrade Square, and every year she has to take a cure In lieu of ex ercise. She is leaving London for Aix in a few days to reduce her weight. Like Queen Mary, she has a horror of growing stout. She will be at Aix for three weeks, and will arrive at the Royal Hospital, in Dublin, shortly before the Dublin Horse Show, which commences Au gust 26. and which is the great event of the Irish season. She is sending out many more invitations than last year for her horse show party, and will entertain a large and 1 distin guished house party. Auto Scares Horses; Carter Whips Prince Driver Uses Lash on Members of Nobility After Accident to His Vehicle. Special Cable to The American. LEIPSIC, GERMANY, July 26.—A Princess and two Princes of the House of Isenburg, belonging to the highest German nobility, were horse whipped recently by an angry carter whose horses their. automobile had alarmed. Prince Alphons, Princess Antoinette and Prince Victor Vonlsenburg were motoring to Altenburg, where they were to visit the Duke of Altenburg, head of another former sovereign house of the empire, when they en countered a farmer with a load of wood. His horse shied before the au tomobile and upset the load In the ditch. The driver lashed out with his'whip at the Princess and the Princes as they rolled by. leaving angry welts on the faces of all three. He now faces trial at Gera for his misdeed, which a century ago would have been almost high treason.
