WS HUGE FIGURES IN
IN IRE GREAT EUROPEAN WAR
Gloom of Greatest War in History Has Settled Upon Royal
Palaces More Heavily Than on Cots of Peasants---Hard
to Show a Brave Pace Before Their People When Sorrow
is More Than Theirs.
London,—Upon royal palaces even
more heavily than on the cots of the
peasants has the gloom of the greatest
war In history settled. In many a splen
did abode sits an anxious care-marked
queen, or princess, or grand duchess,
her eyes red from weeping, eagerly read
ing the bulletins of slaughter which are
brought to her, and going forth only to
endeavor to show a brave face before
her people and to comfort and encour
age the Interminable lines of wounded
In the hospitals.
It is a mistake to represent the auto
cracies as sending their common people
Into the hell as schrapnel and rifle fire
while themselves sitting In safety. Such
a picture Is often drawn by the hates
of the monarchiral idea, but whatever
the faults of kings this Is not one of
Ithem.
In Thick of Fighting.
The young men of royal birth are In
the thick of the fighting. No family
but has many representatives who are
officers In the army or navy. And tne
casualty list among the officers of the
armies In the field are much heavier In
proportion than the dead and wounded
and missing of the ranks.
A traveller Just arrived from Berlin
tells an appealing story of royal sorrow
It was In the grand dining-room of the
Hotel Cumberland. One of the finest
liostelries of the Prussian capital. The
Princess Berthe von L>lppe was seated
at one of the tables. A telegram was
brought to her and she broke the seal
and read eagerly. The mask of royalty
dropped from her. Forgetting she was
a princess and in a public place she
threw her head end her arms on the ta
ble before her and sobbed aloud as any
peasant mother would have done.
Only one word passed her lips,
•Dead!"
Death Telegram.
The telegram had Informed her that
her two sons had fallen at Liege. Later
she was told her two younger brothers
had been killed at Charleroi. A dread
ful toll to pay to war! But It may not
be all —the Princess Bertha still has
numerous other relatives In the Kaiser’s
army. She can only console herself
with the tales of the bravery of her lost
ones.
Here is the story she heard from one
of her Bon’s men. He was Prince Wil
helm of Lippe, a colonel In the Prussian
army, who fell in the assault on Liege,
August 6th.
"After fierce fighting at close quarters
we proceeded successfully toward Liege."
narrated the private. "On the morning
of the 6th we succeded In getting on the
northern walls of Liege, where, how
ever we were completely surrounded by
Belgian troops, who drew over closer
around ub and pressed us hard amid a
hall of bullets.
Formed a Circle.
"By order of Hie Highness our de
tachment formed a circle and we de
fended ourselves stoutly for some time,
till at length wo saw strong reinforce
ments to our aid.
“In order to enable them to locate the
exact spot where we were, the Prince
rose to a kneeling position, pointed with
his sword to the approaching column,
and gave me. who lay a hand’s breath
away from him, on top of our flag, the
order to raise the flag so that we might
be recognized.
“I raised the flag and waved It in a
circle, which at once drew an extra hall
of bullets from the enemy. The flag
was shot out of my hands, while the
same volley wounded the Prince fatally
In the breast and throat. His last two
words were, ‘Remember me ’ ”
But added to the horror of having near
relatives In the shambles of Armageddon
are two other depressing thoughts,
which harrow the women so unfortunate
to be of royal birth. There is first the
ever constant realization that their al
legiance is mixed, that while most of
those in whom they are interested are
fighting on the side of their own army,
relatives nearly as dear are leading the
cause of the enemy. Kin fights against
kin. This Is due to the constant In
termingling of royal blood which has
gone on In Europe for centuries.
Realize Future.
Then there is the disturbing realiza
tion of the precarious position of the
throne. Not a dynasty of the solidity
of which does not tremble In the bal
ance. The queens realize fully that the
future of their houses depends upon the
outcome of the vast conflict. Defeated
they will be overwhelmed by the Indig
nant forces of democracy or socialism or
reduced to Impotence by their countries'
conquerors. , ,
Perhaps the Czarina of Russia is the
most tragic figure In the whole tre
mendous world-drama. “’lne saddest
(face In Europe" she has long been and
now the lines of her face must be
deeper than ever.
Death Struggle.
She sees Slavs and Germans locked in
a death struggle. All her blood rela
tives battle against her husband. She
was the Prncess Alix of Hesse and be
came the bride of Nicholas II because
he fell in love with her and refused to
marry the daughter of the Slav king of
Montenegro, as the Russian statesmen
wished. She came to Petrograd (St.
Petersburg) to find many anti-German
currents to combat, but nothing com
pared to the present absolute blotting
out of everything with all Tautonlc
tinge, going even to the change of the
name of the capital. The hostility un
doubtedly extends even to her person.
The Russians hate their Germnnlc
queen, despite Czar Nicholas now min
gles freely In the street with his peo
ple and feels safe from the assassins
knows that if Germany crushes
Russia, there will be no pity for her
husband. His throne will go and even
she will not be welcome In Berlin. And
should the tide of battle go against the
Kaiser she knows the Csnr and the ring
of Grand Dukes will be equally Tuthless
in their repression of every GWman rul
ing family.
Slav Princess,
The Slav princess, whom the Czarina
overthrew In the affections of Nicholas
Is now Queen Elena of Italy. Elena's
days end nights are also full of anxiety.
Her father's montenegrlns fight with ths
hosts of Franz JoseJ. Her brothers are
on the bettle line. And she has known
GIRLS! LOIS OF BEAU HAIR .
NO DANDRUFF —25 CENT DANDER!

faded, bring back its color
and lustre.
Within ten minutes after an appli
cation of Danderlne you cannot find a
ilnrle trace of dandruff or falling hair

will please you most will be after a

but really new hair—growing all over

that her adopted country's alliance was
with Germany and Austria. The two
bidders for Italy's adherence to the Tri
ple Entente, Theophile Delcasse of
France and Count Witte of Russia, con
centrated their efforts on the Italian
queen and aobut her head raged the
fearful struggle between the government
faction Insisting on Italy's taking the
German side, and the forces tending to
align Italy against her ancient enemy.
Austria.
Another appealing figure is Elisabeth
of Belgium, now an exile in England.
Her little sons are too young to fight.
But her husband. King Albert, is in the
thick of the battle. It is reported one
shell burst twenty feet from where he
was sitting in his war automobile.
It was with extreme reluctance that
Elisabeth was Induced to quit Antwerp
and the rigors of the siege.
Wanted to Fight,
"I will shoulder a musket and fight
in the trenches with you,” she cried to
Albert. "The women of Belgium have
often showed they could fire as straight
as the man.”
But she was overruled and sent pack
ing across the Channel to safety. She is
called the most cultivated Princess In
Europe. Her father was the Prince of
Bavarian regiments were raging against
the gallant defenders of Liege!
Yet her fate is kinder than that of
the Grand Duchess of Luxemburg. When
the Germans Invaded her little state,
the Grand Duchess went out to meet
them, and turned her automobile so that
it blocked a bridge into town. She re
fused to move and protested vigorously
against the violation of Luxemburg’s

War Tax Many Times Over.
New York.—Foreign business com

of huge orders for army supplies will
pay the emergency tax, which it is
now necessary to levy to assure the
U. S. treasury an ample working bal
ance, many times over. This strict
neutrality of this country enforced by
President Wilson enables the Amer

reap the benefits of this opportunity.
As summarized by the New Yora
Journal of Commerce, this is the situ
ation:
Investigation 4n several leading
trade lines shows that within the past
month there has been a most encour
aging flow of new and extensive or
ders for such important articles from
our American mills as blankets, cot

according to reeept Indication, has

The increasing activity of agents or
buying contractors representing for

ers, has induced a feeling of the great

near future of our industrial opera

exert a beneficial Influence toward
bringing about general Improvement
of business in the United States.
Advices received from Middle West
cities show that largf orders have been
placed by some of the Kuropean bel

quantities and shoes. The confirma

of the Bethlehem Steel Company
among manufacturers of automobile
trucks to win the record orders for
such trucks about to be placed through
that company for the French and Rus

the many Indications of a real boom in
export buying which practically every
branch of our American automobile

What a pity that the Black Prince of

The textile Industries have also
come In for a good share of the extra
foreign business already necessitated
by war operations abroad. Several
large New York state underwear mills
that have been closed because of the
slowness of trade In this country, are
now running full and over time, in
some cases, on orders received from
foreign governments for use of the
armies at war In Europe. In addition
to the orders already reported on wool
underwear, it was learned on Saturday
that good-sized contracts of this kind
have been placed for men’s cotton
fleece-lined underwear. The amount
is not divulged, hut It is known to be
large, and enough to keep mils busy
for some time.
Sweater coat manufacturers have
also put In bids for orders of 500,000
garments each from the English and
French governments. Orders are ex
pected on this business during this
week. Coats costing from $18.50 to
$lB a dozen ore wanted- Khaki color
Is preferred, but grayywlll be taken,
it is said. Orders of such size, of
course, can not be handled by one or
two mills In the delivery time that is
wanted, so the business Is expected to
he parcelled out among a number of
mills.
Additional orders for 20,000 dozen
cotton sheets for export are being fig
ured on by mills. As previously re
ported, orders from foreign govern
ments have already been received on
40,000 dozen cotton sheets.

The stimulating effect of the war
upon local Industries is clearly Indi
cated in many other ways. Sharon,
Pa., reported on Saturday that the
Briggs-Seabury Ordnance Company,
which for the paßt two years has been
manufacturing automobile frames and
bodies, has received an order, said to
be from the French government, for
2,500 auto frames to be delivered with
in the shortest possible time. The
order was placed through the agent of
a big New York exporting house and
was made contingent on delivery of a
certain number of frames within sixty
days. The plant has been running at
full capacity for several months past
but had practically reached the con
clusion of Its operations under old con
tracts when It received the present
order from foreign source*.

At a convention of carriage builder*
held at Atlantic City, N. J„ last week,
many of the delegates reported that
the war has brought big contracts to
factories all over the country which
were temporarily closed, and that
these factories are now working over
time to fill such orders. They pre
dicted that this condition will prevail
for at least another year and expect
1915 to prove to be the biggest year
for business this country has ever
known.
There has also been noted during
the past fortnight or so Increased ac
tivity In the exports of steel and stool
products from some of our largest cor
porations In that industry, and accord
ing to some of the leaders in that In
dustry the near future may see the
United States steel export movement
raised from an annual basis of approx
imately 1,600,000 to 2,500,000 tons.
Important orders for our American

“THE MAN OF THE HOUR”
AT GRAND YESTERDAY
Mr. Robert Warwick In "The Man of
the Hour," the "Acme" play at the
Grand yesterday matinee and night,
pleased Augustans with his re
markable acting, as seen from the
screen, even as much fls did he please
them years ago when he appeared here
at the Grand In the stage production
of this drama.
In the opinion of many of Its spec
tators, the “Acme” play of last even
ing and yesterday afternoon was the
best Manager Tant has secured ro far
this season. The play Is one that deals
with present-day life. The way Broad
hurst the author, portrays the char
acter of the people of today—the peo
ple one comes In contact with In ev
eryday life—is such that the closest
attention of everyone witnessing the
picture Is held continuously from the
beginning until the end of each act.
Other “Aome” flays Coming.
Other "Acme" plays coming—all of
just such a quality as Augustans have
been seeing since the season was open
ed at the Grand—are “A Marked Wo
man,” In which Miss Grace George will
take the leading role; “A Gentleman
From Mississippi," with Mr. Torn
Wise;; “The Call of the North," and
"Mother," In which Miss Emma Dunn
will be seen in the leading role. More
“Acme" attractions will be anouneed
later.
The next “Acme” play will be a re
production of the gorgeous spectacle
“America" which ran for a solid year
at the Hippodrome in New York City.
This shows tomorrow at the Grand,
matinee and night.
The “Aome” play following this will
be "Arizona," Mr. Cyrl Scott starring,
on Monday, Octo. 26th.
