THURSDAY, OCTOBER 22. 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! Hair coming out? If dry, thin, 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 mi] your scalp will not Itch, but what will please you most will be after a few week's use. when you see new hair, fine and downy at first—yes— but really new hair—growing all over the scalp. A little Danderlne Immediately doubles the beauty of your hair. No 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 FOREIGN BUSINESS JAMS AMERICAN MILLS Europe’s Struggling Armies Look to the United States For Food and Clothing LARGER DEMAND TO COME Orders For Underwear, Cotton Sheets, Sweater Coats, Blankets, Shoes, Harness, Auto Frames and Trucks Are Showered Onto United States Manufacturers. Will Pay the War Tax Many Times Over. New York.—Foreign business com ing to the United States In the shape 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 ican manufacturers and laborers to 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 ton goods, leather and steel. The war, according to reeept Indication, has brought to many of our largest cor porate manufacturing organizations not a few orders for their products, which will keep them busy in oper ations for some time at least anjl In one or two Instances establish new records for amounts of materials re quired to fill single orders. g » » The increasing activity of agents or buying contractors representing for eign countries, both neutral and bel ligerent, according to some trade lead ers, has induced a feeling of the great est confidence for the immediate and near future of our industrial opera tdons, which, in turn, cannot help but 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 ligerent nations for leather In large quantities and shoes. The confirma tion of rumors concerning the com petitive race which Is on at the plant 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 sian governments has been hut one of the many Indications of a real boom in export buying which practically every branch of our American automobile and auxiliary trades now believe has begun. The heavy foreign purchasing, It Is stated, furthermore, will not end with the close of hostilities In Europe, according to those now. participating, but may easily be expected to con tinue In even far greater proportion after the war than Is now being real ized. According to one optimistic es timate of the increase In export trade which our domestic manufacturers of difference how dull, faded, brittle and scraggy, Just moisten a cloth with Danderlne and carefully draw It through your hair, taking one small strand at a time. The effect Is amaz ing—your hair will be light, fluffy and wavy, and have an appearance of abundance; an Incomparable lustre, softness and luxuriance. Get a 25 cent bottle of Knowlton’s Danderlne from any drug store or toilet counter, and prove that your hair Is as pretty and soft as any—that It has been neglected or Injured by care less treatment that's all- you surely can have beautiful hair and lots of It If you will just try a little Danderlne. neutrality. The commander of the In vading force had her removed bodily. And now the Kaiser is treating Luxem burg as a subject nation. Hard on rVlary. War with its long weeks of uncer tainty and anguish is bearing especially hard on Mary of England and the Kaiserin. The latter has six tall sons at the front. She knows they will he , marks of the hostile sharp-shooters. There Is the Crown Prince, leading one of the armies in the west through Lux emburg and Neufchateau. He is the most ferocious pan-German of them all and he can expect scant pity if he falls into hostile hands. There is Adalbert, with the fleet, almost sure to be an nihilated if it gives battle to England's superior squadrons. News of the vic tories and o»f bold deeds the Kaiserin receives, hut her heart must tremble n vertheless as she learns of the sad fate of Bertha of Lippe. Mary’s two sons have gone forth to battle. Albert, her sailor Prince, ha* been landed lVom the Collingswood. ill with appendicitis. The Prince of Wales is with the. famous Glendale Guards. He is small and sickly, not at all the martial figure that the present occasion de mands. Royalty Suffers. What a pity that the Black Prince of old cannot lead the hosts of England on the plainp of France again. English royalty suffers sadly in comparison with German when it comes to fighting quali ties. The traditions of Richard the Lion Hearted, who hacked at the Mos lems until the skin of his palm came ass with his battle axe. are not upheld. And this fact Is crt*tainly not unknown to Queen Mary, nor Is she indifferent to It. The pale little fellow, whose feet she has been so careful to see that he did not wet, is going to war with the grim Prussians and her heart goes with One woman, Wilhelmina of Holland, bears the p-lnclpal burdens of state In a crisis that might have taxed Elizabeth of England or Catherine of Russia. So far she has preserved the neutrality of her beloved Netherlands. But how long it Is hard to tell. Her southern prov inces are under martial law, her army Is mobilized and her dikes are mined ready to let In the sea—and now she sits, waiting the outcome of the universal war that rages Just within her doors. automobiles will realize after war con cludes, the output of our plants will be quadrupled over the present ca pacity. • • • 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 merchandise are expected to be placed through his hellnnlc majesty's consul. General C. Vassardakis, who Is now In this city on a special trade promoting mission for the Greek government and has established permanent quarters for that purpose. • • • Still further progress In the devel opment of export trade la recorded by the New York custom house statements of exportations of merchandise. The statement for the week ending Sep tember 28 Indicated a total value of $20,082,132. Title was the largest since the war broke Out and showed the steady trend toward norma! conditions. The low water point of exports was for the week ending August 22. They ag gregated only $8,477,301 In that week. A year ago the exports for the week ending September 28 were only $lB.- 810,538.
