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.

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. Gabrieile Ray and Lily Elsie Sue Three beauties of London stage, victims of romances with no bility.

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. Few Care for Goodwood Races; Center of Entertaining Moves to the North. Special Cable to The American.

Twenty members of the American Civic Associa tion. who are studying German munic ipal government, were guests at an other banquet. 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.

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.

Many Well Known Americans Re main at Chantilly to the End; Resorts Crowded, , J - life Special Cable to The American* 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.

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.
