reports were all In. how Widespread the
msiady had been. A few Of these
cases have recovered.

Queen Mary announces that she
wants Il distinctly understood that she
has No prejudioe against Americana Just
because they are Americana She has
decided objection to the suddenly-got-
rich American, but the American wom-
an who has any social standing in her
own land other than that bought with
money has exactly the same chance OF
meeting the Queen that any European
has. She points out that among her
particular friends are Lady Lister
Kaye (Natioa Ygnaga, Of New York;
as one of her particular friends.
and to the fact that she often visits
Mrs. David Beatty (Marshall Fields
daushter) and Mrs. Bradley Martin. of
New York. And 1t is further known
that among the very few guests invited
to the home of the King and Queen
during their stay at Sandringham was
Cora Countess of Strafford, who was
formerly Mrs. Samuel Colrick, of New
York Undoubtedly our Mrs. L. u.
Letter would receive the same dis
ltinsuished attention at the hands of the
Queen if she would go abroad.
1t sometimes costs our foreign repre-
sentatives here in Washington pretty
seriously to marry American women.
The wife of Ferdinand Won Stumm.
former Secretary of the German EN-
bassy in this city, was the very beauti-
full Miss Constance Hoyt, a daughter of
Henry NJ. Hoyt, Counselor of the State
Department. When they were married
1t was thought that he might be sent
back to Washington in some diplomatic
capacity, and now the Kaiser has en-
phasized his disapproval of the mar
riage of the representatives of his Gov
ernment to the United States to Ameri-
can women by appointing Won Stumm
to a diplomatic post at Stuttgart, Wur-
temberg. Prince Bismarck is credited
with having planned and adopted this
policy, by which an officer of the Kaiser
who marries a foreign wife must bring
her back to Germany. so that whatever
her nationality may be, she will become
thoroly GermaniZed before going to a
foreign capital 1t makes one smile to
think that Constance Hoyt will over be-
come very Germanized.
The Forestry Service has just received
report of its severe losses in the
dreadful forest fires of August, in which
76 of it's employees lost their lives.
OF the number, 3J are unidentified;
&c are identified; four are unknown,
and one is missing. The original esti-
mate gave 23 identified and 10 un-
known. All of the fighters who lost
their lives were temporary employees of
the service.
While 35 of the victims are uniden-
titled, their bodies are known to be
those of certain employees, as system
of numbering was employed which es-
tabIishes this fact in the absence of
Identification.
According to the announcement

to bury all of the unclaimed bodies
within Enclosures of the National for

he was ordered to appear before a re-
firing Doad, because naval surgeons had
pronounced him unfit to stand the 90
mile ride in three days Col Denny,
however, asked for an extension of sew
eral months in which to prepare for
the test.
The United States Secret Service has
made tremendous big haul of coun-
terfeit money. This time 1t was not
American money, how
ever. but spurious Nicaraguan fve-pesO
bills Capt Porter made the haul at
Port Townsend, Wash, where the notes,
freshly printed. were seized, and the
printer who made them. the engraver
who made the plate, and the man
with securing their manufac-
ture, were all arrested.
The United States Secret Service also
got after Mrs. Clara c. Stahler, former
Iy of Richmond, Va. She was charged
with unlawful possession of big batch
Of United States revenue stamps. Mrs.
5tahler said her first husband, named
Smith. who died 1S months ago. was
q clerk in the Internal Revenue Office
at Richmond and that he had given her
the stamps.
The child labor law Of Washington
s pretty hard on some whom it is
intended to protect. At the time that
It went into effect there were a large
number OF employees under 16 years of
age in some Of the leading stores of
Under the law it was nee
essary to dismiss them, because of their
age. They all had permits to work, |
but the hours in the stores were 10, and
the District law says they must work |
but eight, so. of course. they had TO go. |
IT Is impossible for these children to
go back to school, and they must do
to help earn their bread. The |
result of the law is probably to make |
these children young liars. They are |
so nearly 16 years of age that they will
go to other stores and apply for posi- |
tons and will give their ages as above |
