SUNDAY AMERICAN’S SPECIAL CABLE LETTERS RECEIVED FROM ALL THE GREAT CAPITALS OF EUROPE
SSEfE, “y Girls Get Broken Hearts ftHERICAfliS OFF
Young Grand Duke *’* w *** w
Complete Obliteration of the Re
public From Map of Europe Is
i Dream of the Teuton.
BY CHARLES HENRY MELTZER.
Special Cable to The American,
PARIS, Aug. 2.—Three facts of
some Importance mark the course of
last week In France. One is the adop
tion by the French Chamber of Depu.
ties of the new army bill, substitu
ting a term of three years for the ex
isting two years - military service. The
exicond is the dispatch of General
Joffre. commander in chief of the
French army, to Russia, nominally to
return last year's visit to the chief ot
the Russian staff to France. The
third is the appearance, in a French
translation of a virulent pamphlet
originally issued in Germany, by one
Adolph Sommerfeld, and entitled in
a pleasant way "The Dismemberment
of France."
Whole Nation Insulted,
These three occurrences are related
to one other. Not perhaps quite di
rectly but still clearly.
Not since the publication of "The
Battle of Dorking" has a work of what
may be called the prophetico-historie
kind made such a stir as "The Dis
memberment of France" has caused
in Paris. If the intention of its au
thor was to challenge and insult this
nation, it could not have been worded
with more cleverness.
The appearance of the pamphlet on
the boulevards with a cover showing
a new map of Western Europe, from
which France has been eliminated,
was resented here, and many of the
Paris book sellers were asked, indig
nantly, why they gave publicity to the.
work.
Their answer was that it was well
to know what Germans thought and
wrote about this country. And so.
perhaps, it is.
The Period Is Vague.
The events described in this fan
tastic volume occur at a vague period.
The reigning Kaiser and his consort
have grown old. but the author points
out the Moroccan Incidents, the Ly-
blan war and other matters still fresh
in German minds. France and Spain
are supposed to have been at logger-
heads over their rights in Africa.
Germany is exasperated by misun-
derstandings in Morocco. To proto*,
against certain incidents. German
has sent another gunboat to Amad'i
One day the German vessel is blow i.
up as the Maine was fourteen year*
ago at Havana. The Beninese nr>
roused to fury by the affair. War j
is declared by Germany. The Italians
and the Austrians join their allies and
proceed to mobilize.
France's Friends Aloof.
As for the friends of France, they
coldly hold aloof. Russia perceives
her chance to oust England from her
eastern empire, while England thinks
It wise not to brave Germany.
Left to her own resources, France
endeavors to resist invasion. But in
a few days she has lest her eastern
provinces, which are captured by the
Germane. Italy has seized Savoy,
Paris is again captured.
The aeroplanes on which France
had counted for protection are anni
hilated and a new teror has been or
ganized. In vain France tries to lib
erate her conquered land by offering
the victors twenty millions and colo
nies. The offer is rejected.
The French once more lock horns
with their relentless foes. But all In
vain. The "expiation" which—accord
ing to Herr Sommerfeld—the French
deserved, had come at last.
France is Blotted Out.
At tho final settlement, made by a
general conference of the great pow
ers and minor powers, France is blot
ted out of existence.
An adjustment of the eastern hem
isphere is then arranged. Germany
acquires all of France from the Vos
ges to the Atlantic. Italy gains south
ern and southwestern France, Tunis
and Algeria. England gobbles up Ar.
tois and Picardy with French Asiatic
colonies. . ,
To pacify the Russians they are al
lowed to annex Persia and Afghanis
tan but not India. Austria-Hungary
becomes a colonial power by obtaining
Madagascar and other French posses
sions. . ...
England throw's in her lot with the
Triple. Alliance. And for all time, what
was the smiling land of France has
ceased to he.
Strange Nicknames
Of English Noblemen
Marquis of Crewe Is ‘Robin.’ Marquis
de Several Is Known as
‘Blue Monkey.’
Mecklenberg-Strelitz Has the Power-
ful Aid of Queen Mary In His
Suit, It Is Said.
Special Cable to The American.
Au 8 2-—According to ru-
niors current in the clubs this week the
°f Connaught and the
SJM tar >r G rand Duke of Mecqlenberg-
aireiitz are engaged. The young Grand
Duke has returned to his native heath,
anot her visit to England Is sched
uled for October at the time of the mar-
Pr L nce Arth,,r of Connaught
and the Duchess of Fife.
^he Grand Duke is widely known in
the smart section of the American eol-
ony; he recently attended the dances of
the Duchess of Manchester. T>ady Nav-
lor Ley land, Mrs. Astor and Mrs. Fran-
rls A. Leggett. At these functions he
created a most favorable impression.
During the informal family parties at
Buckingham Palace, where the Grand
Duke was a guest for a long time he
had every opportunity to meet the
charming Princess Patricia.
One strong reason to credit the re
ported engagement is the Grand Duke’s
friendship with Queen Mary, with whom
he waltzed constantly at the court and
ducal Galls.
Should the reported engagement be
tn je It is likely that the young couple
, a * New ^ °rk soon after the Duke
of Connaught resumes his position in
Canada.
Wagner’s Old Home
Sold for a Distillery
Rooms Where ‘Lohengrin’ Was Com
posed Will Be Used for Manu
facture of “Schnapps.”
Special Cable to The American.
BERLIN, Aug. 2.—Richard Wagner’s
former home, Pillnitz, in Saxony, the
famous old house where he composed
“Ix>hengrin” has been sold at auction to
the owner of a distillery. It will be used
henceforth for the manufacture of that
popular beverage “schnapps.” The sale
has aroused a storm of indignation
among music lovers and the press is
angrily demanding “What has become
of the boasted idealism of the German
people that they can permit such dese
cration?”
The deal was definitely closed, how
ever, and the rooms where the mystic
harmonies of “Lohengrin” were evolved
are being filled up with apparatus for
the production of cognac and other liq
uors. The owners offered to sell it for
use as a museum for $16,000, one-third
less than he asked from the~oistillers.
None of the vartous musical societies
formed in the composer’s honor made
the slightest effort to avail themselves
of the offer.
A similar fate some time ago befell the
house ’ in Leipsic, where Wagner was
born.

Sultana Weds to
Get Back Husband
Complicated Marriage Code of Zanzi
bar Causes Two Divorces and
Two Weddings in Week.
Special Cable to The American.
LONDON, August 2.—Zanzibar,
which has now passed under the con
trol of the Colonial Office, possesses
a complicated marriage code, as the
Consort of the Sultan discovered to
her cost. Some years ago his High
ness divorced the Sultana, a daugh
ter of the Imaum of Muscat, who, be
ing a royal Princess, was his only
legal wife.
His Ministers were much perturbed
at this, as the marriage had been ar
ranged for State reasons, and the
Sultana had done nothing to Justify
her husband's actions.
“After some pressure, the Sultan
consented to remarry her,” says the
Pall Mall Gazette. "There were diffi
culties in the way, however, as ac
cording to Zanzibar law no remar
riage was possible until the ex-Sul-
tana had married some one else.
Eventually she was married to the
Sultan’s brother-in-law. who imme
diately divorced her, and she was then
reunited to Seyyid AIL
List of Victims of Famous Theater
Now Three When Pearl
Aufrere Is Jilted.
Special Cable to The American.
LONDON, Aug. 2.—Three dainty
persons whom kings have exalted,
whom peep? have adored, whom the
rich and powerful have sought to win.
to-day are finding that love and do
mestic happiness is a will-o’-the-
wisp, and that wounded hearts are
the lot of stage beauties.
All England is sorry because its fa
vorites, Gabrieile Ray and Lily Elsie
and Pearl Aufrere have found obsta
cles in the path of their true loves
and are broken-hearted, shamelessly,
frankly, pitiably broken-hearted.
Two Enter Suit.
Two of them—Gabrieile Ray and
Lily Elsie—deserted by rich and no
ble husbands, are suing for divorce.
Pearl Aufrere, won by the young Vis
count Dangan after an eager suit,
finds that his court has been in vain,
because his parents say, heartlessly
and pitilessly. “No.”
The lot of Gabrieile Ray, of all the
three, perhaps, is the most pitiable.
The fair Gabrieile. the haughty Ga-
brielle, who spumed an ex-king and
about half the nobility, who laughed
at love until it came to her, who
trampled on the hearts of millionaires,
is begging for the return of her hus
band, Eric Lode»\ son of Sir Edmund
Loder. and about the richest clubman
London society knows.
It will be remembered that when
they were married seventeen months
ago the Gaiety girl beauty left the
millionaire waiting at the church. The
next day she relented and the cere
mony took pltye. But Loder had been
deeply humiliated, and it is said he
decided to pay the beauty back in
some of her own coin. After a brief
honeymoon, he left their home and
has not returned.
Writes Appealing Letter.
His actress wife is sorry now. Wit
ness one of her letters read In court;
“I am feeling desperately miserable
and want you, my msband. so badly.
* * * Thank you for the flowers you
sent me on the anniversary of our
wedding. You can’t think how it all
hurts ”
And Lily Elsie, the pampered, court
ed beauty of the Gaiety! Rhe was
jilted by a youth hardly out of his
teens. Miss Elsie, after a brilliant ca
reer In the famous Gaiety and Daly
Theaters, married Ian Bullough, a
young and ardent Scotch landowner.
One day, not long ago, the young
husband, weary of domestic restraint
made peevish by an insignificant
quarrel, left home.
Pearl Aufrere was not even vouch
safed a taste of home bliss. Rhe was
a proud beauty. She resisted every
suit, although tn**y were many and
insistent and flattering. She was
content to be the courted favorite.
Meets Young Viscount.
Until along came the young Vis
count Dangan, son of the Earl of
Cowley. He was in the profession.
As a mere boy he was attracted to
the stage, and, thwarted by parental
objections he Joined the ranks in the
most humble capacity. Indefatigable
and enthusiastic, he worked up from
stage hand to chorus man, then to a
speaking part, then to a secondary
role. Then he met Pearl Aufrere In
the chorus.
Love came to both young people,
and it was announced that they
would marry In the late summer.
It was not deemed impossible. The
list of actresses who have married no
blemen is long and is becoming long
er each year. Peers of catholicity do
not consider the gulf between the two
spheres too great to be bridged. But
there are some of the conservative
yet alive, and among them are Lord
and Lady Cowley, the parents of
Pearl Aufrere’s lover.
“No,” they said, emphatically. t The
young Viscount remonstrated, and
pleaded, and threatened.
“No,” they insisted, and threatened
a bit themselves. Altogether they
have been successful in breaking up a
pretty romanct.

By ORTON TEWSON.
Special Cable to The American.
LONDON, Aug. 2.—Crooned with
the laurel wreath of victory, Lady
Cunard, who was Miss Maud Burke,
of New York, ha* gone to her coun
try place, Nevlll Holt, Leicestershire,
to rest after the very busy London
sea sou.
This clever American has literally
become the musical arbiter of Eng
land, wresting this distinction from
the Marchioness of Ripon, who has
been the adviser or Covent Garden.
Lady Cunard arranged the Russian
opera season at the Drury Lane, and
the Russians triumphed over the Roy
al Opera, supplemented by Melba,
Caruso and Destinn
Lady Ripon Powerless.
Lady Ripon, who is mourning for
her brotner, was powerless to oppose
the sway of Lady Cunard and the
Russians.
The former allies qf the Marchion
ess are rallying to her support, and
next season swords will certainly be
crossed.
Although the mother of a grown
girl, Lady Cunard is miraculously
youthful, with the slight figure and
vivacity of a schoolgirl. Lady Ripon
is tall, superb and Roman. One won
ders how she will manage to check
the American’s sway over the musical
affairs of l^ondon.
Mrs. Waldorf Astor, the popular
wife of young Waldorf Astor. is ex
pected to present her husband soon
with an addition to the family. Mrs.
Astor was formerly known as “The
Belle of Virginia.” Her sister mar
ried Charles Dana Gibson.
Mrs. Astor Is Popular.
She Is now at Cliveden, her charm
ing riverside home, but it is hoped
the happy event may take place at
the Astor home on Plymouth Hoe.
Her last % born was christened Francis
in memory of Francis Drake and as a
compliment to Plymouth. Plymouth
presented him with a silver cradle.
It is indicative of the high esteem
in which she is held that an impor
tant bazaar which was to have taken
place this month has been put off un
til autumn, when it is hoped Mrs. As
tor majy be able to open it. The mere
fact that she is to be there will draw
twice as many visitors.
Astor Is Urged to
Aid the Undeserving
London Paper Would Hame Him
Strike a New and Unique Note
in Philanthropy.
Special Cable to The American.
LONDON, Aug 2.—A London paper
makes the following novel suggestion;
“Why doesn’t Vincent Astor strike a
new' note in philanthropy? All philan
thropists think they have earned praise
when they have helped the deserving.
They have merely done their bare duty.
“Real charity begins only when we
have helped the undeserving.
“Here is a chance for Vincent Astor
to be genuinely original and at the same
time a benefactor of the human race by
aidng the undeserving.”
British Wives Add
Cry to Suffragettes’
One ‘Curses the Day’ When Her
Husband Became a Great
Financier.
Special Cable to The American.
LONDON, Aug. 2.—It is not only the
suffragettes that have grievances. Mar
ried women now are filling the press
with wails that their better halves have
no time for love-making.
The latest of mourners is Lady Cow
dray, whose husband, Lord Cowdray, is
the head of the greatest contracting
firms in the world, and Lady Alexander,
who is married to tho actor-manager,
Sir George Alexander.
Others are beginning to air their
views. One says she now “curses the
day which turned her husband from a
business man with a comfortable salary
into a great financier with a huge in
come.”
Kaiser Accused of
Making War Scares
To Fill Own Pocket
Frenchman Declares the Emperor
Reaps Profits Through Millions of
Stock in Krupp Company.
Special Cable to The American.
PARIS. Aug. 2.—“Emperor William in
cites war scares to put money in his
pocket.”
Bo declares Francis Delaisi, quoted in
an arMcle entitled “How Jingoes Are
Made,” in I*a Controverse, a review.
M. Delaisi asserts that Emperor Wil
liam 1, the Kaisers’ grandfather, owned
about ,1,000,000 worth of stock in the
Krupp firm at Essen, Germany, iron
masters, who make guns and armor
plate for half the nations of the world
Krupn shares have greatly appreciated
in value, so the present Emperor's hold
ings must represent a large fortune.
‘This explains,” says M. Delaisi. “why
William II. who at heart is fond of
peace, gives himself up occasionally to
warlike manifestations—Just sufficient
to make the Reichstag vote extra credits
for orders given to the Krupps.”
M. Delaisi asserts that the imperial
dividends from the Krupps increase
yearly.
Many high officers in the War Min
istrv are employed by the Krupps at
much higher salaries than their brethren
in the army receive. The Krupps main
tain a hotel with 50 rooms, the Ivssener-
hofY, whore German officers and those
trom abroad who come to inspect the
construction of the guns their countries
order, are entertained at a cost of
$100,000 a year.
The / great arms factories maintain
pan-German newspapers, and, just
when the dove of peace seems about to
preen her wings, these journalists in
sult foregn governments and peoples and
fire jingo sentiment.

Special Cable to The American.
BERLIN, Aug. 2—An unusually large
number of Americans were landed by
German steamers arriving at Bremen
and Hamburg this week. Nearly 80
Americans from the Imperator were reg
istered at one Berlin hotel the day after
the ship’s arrival.
Allison V. Armour, of Chicago, re

The American Association of Com
merce of Berlin has «ec:<3ed to invite

receplion in his honor upon his arrival
in Berlin in the fall. Similar reception.**
have been given every Ambassador on
arrival here since the organization of
the association.
The delegation of American physi
cians who are making a tour of the
medical centers of Europe before going
to London to attend the seventh Inter
national Medical Congress in that city
left Berlin on Monday after three days
of strenuous sight-seeing.
A comprehensive program had been
arranged for them by the Berlin society,
which called for visits to every impor
tant hospital and laboratory in the city.
A number of dinners and receptions
were tendered the visitors by the Berlin
Medical Society.
Dr. A. L. Perry, of Galesburg, Ill.,

PARIS, Aug. 2.—At last the weather
has turned warm and fine. Paris no
longer shivers as it did a week ago
and the Parisians have plucked up
heart.
Once more the Bois is thronged be
fore and after dinner time with cab*
and motors The Tziganes in the al
fresco restaurants again have au
diences and every day the popular
tango teas at the Jardin de Paris at
tract hundreds.
But Paris is no longer the gay cen
ter of the French world. The fash
ionables are scattering far and wide,
and only those who c an not get away
remain to revel in the peace of the
great city.
Vichy is crowded, so is Aix Le*
Bains and the best hotels at Deau
ville and Trouvilla are turning away
visitors.
Dieppe and the other Yesorts are
bright with life. Those who are
stranded here, however, find some joy
in drinking tea at the Ritz and in
hearing opera sung beneath the trees
at night.
Abdul Aziz, former Sultan of Mo
rocco, has been much in the public
eye‘ this week; now that this poten
tate has lost his throne he has become
popular. People have forgotten that
only two years ago he was regarded
as a barbarian and assassin; he is
being interviewed and almost lionized.
Despite the heat and hailstorms
many Americans frequented the race
courses near Paris until the season
closed. On Tuesday, at Chantilly, H.
B. Duryea’s Torch won the second
race. Some days before an important
race at Matsons Lafltte was won by
the same owner’s Blarney. Among the
Americans who watched the Chantilly
races were Mr. and Mrs. Widener, Mr.
and Mrs. Chas. Carroll, of Carrollton,
and Mr. and Mrs. H. B. Duryea. All
these were also seen at Maisons La-
fitte, besides Judge and Mrs. Gary,
Mr. and Mrs. August Belmont, Mr.
and Mrs. Frank J. Gould, Judge and
Mrs. Gerard, Frederick W. Vander
bilt and Clarence H. Mackay.
Since then Mr. and Mrs. August
Belmont, with Raymond Belmont,
have left for Cherbourg by auto,
while Judge and Mrs. Gerard have
departed for Baden Baden.
Mrs. Myron T. Herrick has returned
from Deauville and is staying at the
Hotel Astoria.
Berlin Genius Evolves
Real Speaking Clock
Strange Voice Talks All Night, If
Wanted, but It Is Easily Re

Special Cable to The American.
BERLIN, Aug. 2.—A German gen
ius has evolved a speaking clock and
a $625,000 syndicate has been organ
ized to exploit it.
Time is recorded by a voice every
quarter of an hour, and the effect
on the hearer Is extraordinary. One
hears suddenly in clear accents:
“Three o’clock,” “A quarter past
3 o’clock,” and so on.
It will talk all night, if wanted;
It will talk in the daytime. If nerves
or conscience trouble the owner he
can switch off the machinery and
the clock will continue to perform Its
duties in silence.
