KING CHARMED BY BEAUTY
OF PRINCESS OF PLESS

Berlin, Aug. 16.-As the beautiful
Miss Daisy West, daughter of Colonel
CORVALLIS West and sister-in-law of
the once famous New York beauty
best known as Lady Randolph Chur-
chill, the present princess of Pless
fascinated the present King George
of England, who, like the rest of Eu-
rope, still greatly admire her. In
consequence Queen Mary has never
liked her and on several occasions
absented herself from entertainments
upon learning that the princess was
to be "A guest.
The princess has been described as
a pure type of Irish beauty, for her
mother was an Irish woman. She
is blond. extremely tall. slender and
with the grace of a gaZelle. She is
regarded as even more beautiful than
her youngest sister the duchess of
Westminster
The prince of Pless is one of the
greatest land holders i'm Germany. his
wealth being estimated at $4,000
00u. The princess is chatelaine of
the fairy-like seventeenth century
castle of Fuerstenstein, one of the
show places of Germany, situated on
the east side of the valley of the
Polsnetz and surrounded by eXtens-
i've grounds. She also is mistress of
palace in Berlin, on Wilhelmplat2,
known from its tall chimney as the
Chimney academy"
Recently the prince invested heav-
lily in hotel venture at Saltzbrunn,
Prussian Silesia, and personally su-
perintended the construction of the
building. When the Chamber of
Commerce building was opened in
New York several years ago Emperor
William sent the prince to represent
him at the ceremony.

WAR SCARE STIRRED
UP IN OLD ENGLAND

London. Aug. ia recent article
of Admiral Mahan, the great Amer
lean writer, on the German fleet and
England unreadiness for a great
war has caused a tremendous lot of
discussion in the lobby of the house
of commons during the past few
days. Admiral Mahan hinted that
while some form of compulsory mill
tary service was strongly advisable.
he did not believe that anyone in this
country believed in national service
becoming an accomplished fact. 1t
is an open secret that several Labor
members are in favor of ii and that
Sir Edward Grey ana Lord Morley
are two members of the cabinet who
are certainly not opposed to ii in
their hearts.
But the most significant fact is the
very recent accession of strength by
members of parliament to the Ma
tional Service league. of which Lord
Roberts is the enthusiastic president.
During the past few days a number
Of members belonging to both poll
tical parties have enrolled themselves
in the league and the latest return
shows that SO members of parlia-
ment, or nearly one-fourth of the
whole house, have pledged them
selves to further the cause of national
service During the whole of 1903
only $50 persons joined the leagu.
During the past six months 81 900
new members have Joined. Secretary
of War Haldane is officially opposed
to any form of compulsory training
because he has yet to see his terri
torial army scheme crowned with
success, but his intimate friends de-
clare he would be publicly in favor
of national service if he dared face
the wrath of such uncompromising
enemies of the league as Mr.. Lloyd
George and Mr.. Winston Churchill.
Meanwhile, It is freely predicted in
the lobby of the house of commons,
that once the house of lords question
is settled and out of the way the great
issue between the parties will be that
OF national military service.
