Philadelphia.' police force is tlatly charged with corruption and partnership in crime ly the commission on training camp activities in a report which Sec'y Daniels has forwarded to the governor of Pennsylvania and the mayor of Philadelphia, witn the urgent reo.uest that they accept the cooperation of the navy and marine corps "for such a cleaning up in Philadelphia as is imperatively demanded." Thousands of young men are in training !or the navy and marine corps in Philadelphia and according to the commission no other city in the country has failed to meet tho requirements of the a -my and navy as to moral conditions. .Many Diortlcrlj Mouses. Lists of alleged disorderly house with street addresses and other itenig of specific information ar? given in the training ?amp commission's repcrt made public tonight. It was s'lhniittfd to .nc'y Daniels by (Chairman Raymond fi. I'osdick after an extended investigation. "Report? reaching this office from every city in the country in the neighborhood of any army tr navy camp," says the report, "show that nowhere else are conditions co intolerable. .Many attempts have been made in the past six months to secure action through the local authoritie-;. I am convinced that the fundamental reason for the failure of these attempts is the intimate connection of responsible officials with those who profit by tho continued existence of vicious conditions. For this reason it seems fo me to be hopeless to expect any reil improvement until the navy department takes drastic action to protect men in the service while on liberty in Philadelphia. Scattered (cr City. "Our investigations show thai uch houses are scattered all over the city. Liquor is sold in a larpe majority of them. Many admit men in uniform and most of the houses situated in the Negro section of outh Philadelphia cater almost exclusively to sailors. These houses are run so openly and our investigations have been so comprehensive and long extended that I tan state without 'Hesitation that they enjoy police protection for which moncv is paid to police officers. "Literally hundreds of street walkers patrol Market st. and th" other main thoroughfares of the city nightly. These women are entirely unmolested by the local police. 'Liquor ir easily obtained by the men in the service," the report continues. "The licenced dealers do not appear to make sales directly, but exercise practically no care in preventing bootlegging. "The bootleggers are chiefly Negroes and unemployed men who make a practice of hanging about the vicinity of saloon.- and "speak eases' in neighborhoods frequently by sailors. In spite the efforts of the depart ment of justice, this illegal traffic H increasing. The local police make no effort whatever to stamp it out. RIVALRY STIMULATED AMONG SHIP RIVETERS 'i:V VoPK.

BEHIND THE SCENES

With Rulers and Leaders of Wartime Europe By the Princess Radziwiü a mr fat. mi

P It I N C I : LI (."II NO K Y. The newspapers have recently published a. memorandum written by the former (Jerman ambassador in London. Prince Lichnowsky, containing his appreciation of the policy pursued by his country previous to 12n"land en tering the war. in which he expresses his sense of the many blunders of which his govern ment was guilty at the time. This publication has o nee rn ore h r ought into P rominonce a man who ould have d early liked to avoic" the world con IYtnci- itaiuiCTill. flict b r o ught about by (jerman ambition. and who mot certainly deserves to be classed among the moderate ones of hi country. Prince Lichnowsky. indeed, was not made for the position in which he found himself thrown. He is a very clever, gifted with great Perspicacity, and. thanks to his French blood, not such an admirer of German Kultur as the other personal friends of the kaiser, of whom he vas one in their young days. His mother, a charming and accomplished voiian, was a princess of C'toy. of the French branch of that tamily, who had been married when a mere girl to Prince Lichnowsky. already a middle-aged man at the time, and one of the richest landowners in Prussia, but also one of the wickedest men of his time. The Lame I)eil." He was generally called in society the "Lmi" Devil," being slightly deformed. He fully de.served the name, because anything more diabolical than this head of one of the most illustrious families of whom the .Mmanach de Gotha keeps the record never lived. Clever with it. lie was unsparing of his enemies, and always got the best of them. Legislature May Be Called Into Special Session INDIANAPOLIS. April 1 Talk of the advisability of a special session of the state legislature to enact measures to meet extraordinary war conditions was afloat in the state house corridors today. The discussions were a revival of similar gossip current just previous to the critical illness of Gov. James P. Goodrich last summer and which was dropped when the governor was forced to go to a hospital. More recent proposals for a special session did not bear fruit. Clov. Goodrich has the matter of an extraordinary session under consideration, it is known, but it is well understood that no action may be expected until after his return from Camp .Shelby, Miss., where he and a party of distinguished persons will visit Indiana guardsmen. When the question tirst arose it was made plain that the goveronr did not wish to call the lawmakers to gether if it could be avoided without endangering the best interests of the state. The rebuilding of structures at the stale reformatory at Je ffersonville, recently destroyed hy fire; the vastly increasing cost of maintenance of the state's penal and charitable institutions and questions relating to the activities of the state and county counc ils of defense are problems demanding funds which the state appears unable io provide without adtlitional appropriations. These are problem that could not be foreseen when the legislature was in session carlv i.i 1?17. PLACES ONE DOLLAR BILL AND SENDS IT CAM P ZACHAKY TAYLOIl. Louisville. K. April 1.

if not in deed, then at least in worJ. He crueliv ill-treated his

wife, going to the extent of bcatir. g i her at times, it was said. She was apart from her other qualities, a beautiful creature, gifted with unusual patience. and she bore his cruelties with a resignation which caused the wonder all those wh knew them both. They had two daughters and one son, the late ambassador in London, who. unfortunately for him, had not inherited his mother's good looks and whose extreme ugliness caused quite a sensation when he appeared on the horizon of Uerlin society as an officer of the Hussar regiment of the guards, in which Prince "William of Prussia, as the present kaiser was at that time, was also serving. 1 remember that at .a ball i;iveu at the house of one of the smart h Stesses of the clay a tacit plot was engineered between the ladies, invited that they would not dance with young Prince Lichnowsky during the cotillon. There was a certain ligure which was always danced in Uerlin, and which consisted in a lady sitting on a chair in the middle of the room holding a j-lass of champagne in her hand. Two partners were brought to her. she would choose one of them, and hand over the wine to the one she rejected. When it came to the turn of Lichowsky, some thirty women or so handed him in succession the champa -:ne glass, so that at last he could hardly sta:.d on his legs, and the host-e-s found that it as time to put an end to the joke, and, devoting herself took him for a turn round the room, thus breaking the spell. The young man. however, understood, and discreetly retired afterward, not without profusely thinking the ladv who had helped him to get out of a most unpleasant situation. In the Diplomatic? Service. I don't know whether this incident had anything to do with Lieh nowsky's determination to quit military life in favor of the diplomatic cereer. but the fact remains ihat he sent in his papers and very soon after was appointed attache to some foreign legation. where it seems that he made himself a general favorite. He somehow did away with the black and curly hair that had added to his ugliness by accentuating his likeness to a negro, and when he returned to Berlin he whs no longer the repulsive kind cd" youth he had been before, but a very nice, well-behaved and admirably turned-out man. People began to prophesy all kinds of great things for him, but tlien his father died and he bid good-by to the diplomatic career and settled on his vast estates in Silesia and married an amiable woman, the Countess Mathilde d'Arco Valley, the descendant of a Lav aria n family of unimpeachable quartering.?." She made him an excellent wife, and proved an exception among girls .f the aristocratic class in Germany, in so far as she had literary tastes and talents and had written several hooks, which were far bii perior to anything that might have been expected of an amateur. The couple entertained lavishly and on a great scale in their Silesian castle, but P.erlin did not see "much of them, and it was rumored that the Princess Lichnowsky and the Kaiser did not get on together as well as might have been expected, and that the former did not belong to the number of William IPs admirers to the extent he would have liked. Amliuvsidor in London. Nevertheless, when the post of German ambassador in London became vacant it was offered by the emperor himself to Prince Lichnowsky. and only accepted by the latter after much hesitation and reluctance, as he feared that he would not be able to cope with the many difficulties which he foresaw would be connected w.h it. In London, however, the prince and the princess very soon became great favorites everywhere. She was a frank, outspoken woman, very grande dame" in her way, though strangely unconventional In others, and though she sometimes shocked some people, vet pleased most of those with whom she cared to show herself in her true colors. The couple took to entertaining far more than any of the predecessors had ever done, and tiie dismallooking house in which for so many years had heen quartered the German embassy suddenly showed Kay haskcts of flowers in the windows, nnd became the scene of many festivities, and of excellent dinners. Prince Lichnow sky's cook had certainly a good deal to do with Iiis master's success, and; as a witty and rather ill-natured man taid when the prince was handed his passports. "The only pity is that we can't confiscate his cook." History says that the cook confiscated himself, because, bein a Frenchman, he absolutely refused to accompany the ambassador and elected to remain in London, where a great club very quickly stcured his services. As for Lichnowsky, he returned to Germany, where he was fry badly received by the kaiser, who made him responsible for the mistakes which he had not made and the blunders which he had not committed. He settled once more in his Milesian castle, a sadder and also a wiser man, and it is not likely that he ever will feel tempted neain to leave th? comforts of his own horn? for an ambassador's palac. no matter what may happen in the future. People, howtver. say that for the present Williac II his no intention of asking him to do so, and that the former friendship 'of the kaiser for the prince has shared the fte of the many treaties turiIei ej Ly him as mere scraps of oaper.
