PACES FIVE

COURT OF. ENGLAND WINS FAVOR AGAIN ' '' Actions of Rulers During War Crisis Arouse Love of Subjects. Perhaps nothing more aptly interprets the feeling of London in these stressful days, than the changing attitude toward the King and the court. As one moved about, one notices o curious revulsion of feeling with regard to the court since the beginning of the war. It is no secret of course that King George and Queen Mary have tastes akin to those of the late Queen Vic

toria and the Prince Consort, rather than to those of the late King Edward, whose penchant was for clever and amusing people. He hated to be bored and cared very little for curious folk with "Ideals.- In the old court of the middle nineteenth century, which has been called the Golden Age of London Society, wit was not much appreciated. Queen Victoria liked to laugh but she cared little for 'what was not obvious. Those days are coming back, and their return has been more noticeable since the war broke out. Without interfering unduly with matters best left to experts, King George is keeping himself very closely in touch with all the se?vices, the war office and the admirality especially. Both the King and the Queen have put in most of their time in the last five weeks inspecting troops and warships, pouring over maps, getting first hand reports" from the war office and Admiralty and laterly in visiting the wounded who have been brought home from the continent.

WORLD'S MOST REMARKABLE PHOTOGRAPH

NATIONS TO SHOOT MEN WITH KODAKS Warring Commanders Attempt to Prevent Pictures of Battle Scenes.

If the warring powers of Europe are able to carry out their plans, this is destined to be a war without pictures. Since the first hint of hostilities, this country has been flooded with pictures of mobilization, the gathering of troops in England, France, Belgium and Austria-Hungary. The first fighting broke out ahead of time when the Belgians so heroically and unexpectedly opposed the Germaus. That was not according to schedule. Belgium at the outset allowed some correspondents and photographers within her lines, and for several weeks there have been many Belgian war pic tures in circulation. But from now on authentic war pictures are likely to be scarce. Information, considered reliable, has reached here, that the Kaiser has issued ordera that any man caught by his troops ir the field with a camera shall be shot. Similar information has been received about orders issued by the French. Should these reports prove correct, in substance, the prospects of making a photograrhlc record of the great war are distinctly discouraging.

NEUTRAL AMERICA -ABSORBEDIN WAR

The United States is stragetically, diplomatically and politically neutral in the great war embroiling almost the whole of Europe and indirectly half the earth and the people thereon,

but the "Man from Mars" alighting In

any of our. big cities. New York for

instance, would neQr believe that this country is not at war -with somebody. War! War; War! is all we talk about, all we read, all we see, all we hear and of at least some of us it is true that we go to bed and dream about the war. Things warlike and martial assault the eye and ear everywhere. The newspapers publish little but war; their front pages with their screaming headlines are all of war.

The newsboys have screamed war until their poor little throats are calloused and warped. Extras Come hot from the presses before one can hare read the edition before. Supplementing the newspapers and the fiendish, yelling boys, are the bulletin boards. They are everywhere. In front of eVery publishing" office and on all the odd corners as well. In letters a foot high they give the latest developments of the holocaust that is laying waste the rich countries across the Atlantic, so that all who run mar read. ' -

SAYS U. S. VESSEL AIDED BRITISHERS

coujc

Ambassador Bernstorff of Germany has declared that he has positive information that two British cruisers lying ten miles from New York harbor received coal and provisions from a vessel flying the American flag. The ambassador says he doesn't know what he's going to do about it, the neutrality law is so vague. He declineu to give any information as to the source of his reports.

RUSSIA MAY GROW IN MILITARY POWER Expert Points to Horrible Situation if Czar Becomes Second Kaiser.

Much has been said and written since Aug. 31, of the causes of the great European war and the attitudes, aims and ambitions of Germany, England and France in the struggle, but little has been heard of Russia's side of the affair. Sasha Kropotkin, one of the best informed Russians and a man who knows whereof he speaks, has written the following article on the war from the Russian's viewpoint: "To say that the present war is a war against militarism is to be guilty of a platitude. For days past every leader-writer in the country has been saying so. Yet the attitude on this subject of a great number of people

is extremely curious. They seem to be '

oppressed Dy tne tnougnt tnat tney may have to cry, when the war is over, "Le roi ost mort, vive le roi" After Germay-Russia. "England cannot crush German militarism alone. All of us who have followed the lead of Germany for forty years must strike together. Belgium has struck her blow. France and Russia will strike harder; perhaps Vhe heaviest blow will come from Russia. And there is the rub. For what if Russia having helped to crush Germany, develops a psychology anadogus to that of Germany after 1870, and after tasting power, decides to become the greatest of all fosters the spirit of militarism which we are now arrayed against. "Let us picture Russia victorious. Then, so argues Mr. Bernard Shaw (and in the given case he represents not only himself but quite a number

ox other people), the Russian government will triumph Germany will be "rushed the balance of power will incline in favor of Russia. After that the situation becomes too horrible to contemplate.

RUSSIAN OFFICERS HAVE WAR TRAINING

Due to their experience in the war with Japan, the officers of the Russian army were said to be the best trained in Europe at the beginning of the present titanic conflict. The education of the modern officer has radically changed during the last few years. The development of present-day warfare has rendered it necessary for him to acquire an ever increasing burden of knowledge so that on the continent today the military officer is certainly one of the hardest worked members of the community. Every year manoeuvers are made more realistic. But after all, the best training for war is war.

are fanatics in every nation who might think that to kill the ruler of the enemy would demoralize his armies. Of late years the courts tt Europe apparently have been converted into shooting galleries, with royal families as targets and Kings and Queens as bull's eyes. It was the assassination of Archduke Francis Ferdinand, nephew of Emperor Joseph and heir to the throne of Austria-Hungary that precipitated the present titanic struggle.
