children have been brought up on
strictly English lines.
Another little European heir whose
coming was waited for some time with
anxiety was Prince Humbert of Italy,
who put in an appearance after two
sisters, and thus assured the direct
succession to the Italian throne. He
is now years old, and is made a ire
mendous pet Of by his sisters, Yolanda
and Mafalda The eldest girl is a
great beauty, in a dark, giIsy style,
like her mother, who was a Princess of
Montenegro, the country renowned for
its exports Of pigs and beautiful prin-
cesses."
The hereditary Prince Johann-Leo-
pold of Saxe-Coburg-G otha, though
the heir to a throne of minor import
ance, will one day rule over one of the
richest duchies in Europe Upper Aus
tria and the Tyrol, which form part Of
his kingdom, being rich in mines and
forests, to say nothing of Gotha itself
Besides this his family Possesses more
crowns than any other, Belgium, Por-
tugal and Bulgaria all being ruled by
his relations.
Though not actually the immediate
heirs to the throne, the little sons of
the Crown Prince of Germany are
much more in the limelight than their
father, owing, it is whispered In some
parts of Germany, to the Kaiser's
jealousy of his eldest sons popularity.
They are hardy trio of youngsters,
the eldest only five years old.

AMERICAN WINS IN
PERSIAN POLICY.

PERSIAN POLICY.
LONDON, Aug 5.-W. Morgan Shus-
ter, the American who recently took
the post of Treasurer General of the
Persian Government, has already had
opportunities to learn much of politics
and business under a weak Oriental
government, pulled and pushed about
by the intrigues and threats of Euro
pean diplomats.
His first troubles have been with one
of the most powerful chiefs of the ad.
ministration and with the Russian and
Belgian interests, which combined to
break his power.
Reports to London from agents of
British houses in Teheran give an in
teresting story of the collapse of the
stand the Russian Minister, NJ. Pow
levski, and the Belgian Director-Gen-
eral of Customs, NJ. Mornard, backed
by the Belgian Charge d'Affairs, made
against Shuster and the National
Council.
The Council passed a law on June
18th investing the Treasurer General
with the control of all revenues and
tie sole power to sign checks on Gov
eminent funds.
M. Mornard previously had drawn
checks on the customs funds. He re-
fused to recognize the ney law and
claimed that he still had that power.
Checks which he signed were refused
by the imperial Bank of Persia, an
English corporation handling a large
part of the Government funds. These
checks were for salaries of customs
employees. Shuster issued duplicates
which the bank honored. This brought
matters to a crisis.
The Belgian Legation announced to
the Persian Government that it would
Lot permit the Belgian employees of
the customs who form a large proper
ton of the force, to serve under
Shuster if the law were to be carried
out The Russian Minister went fur
Their and declared emphatlcally that he
would introduce Russians to admin
lister the customs before he would sub
nit to Shuster's single-handed control.
Several foreign obligations, includ-
ing the interest of foreign loans,
the payment of the Co.'S
sack brigade, and the pension of the
deposed Shah, were a charge on the
customs of the north. The Russian
that these interests were imperiled by
administration and also de-
MED the power of the National Council
to pass such a law as that of June 18th.
Shuster thereupon gave written no
tice to the Imperial Bank and the Rus
sian Bank that no disbursements would
be made from the customs receipts
until all liens upon them had been
paid, and invited them to send repre-
at any time to examine the
books and accounting methods of the
treasury
All the banks supported Shuster and
the Council, which has supported him
enthusiastically since his arrival, stood
by him also. The Cabinet was fright
ened by the Russian Minister'S threat
and wavered for some time. After
weeks argument the Treasurer Gen
eral prevailed upon the Minister of
Foreign Affairs to call upon Mornard
to comply with the law.
The opposition collapsed In
the presence Of the Cabinet and Of
the Belgian Director General
Of Customs gave a formal undertaking
to accept the law, and he and Shuster

GIRLS LOST MIND
PUZZLES THE POLICE

PUZZLES THE POLICE
PARIS, July 22.-An extraordinary
case of complete loss Of memory on
the part of young English-speAki
woman has been puzzling the acute
mind of the principal nerve specialist
in Paris, Doctor De Chesnais, who now
appeals to the Anglo-American press
to make the facts as widely known as
possible, in the hope that her identity
may thus be established.
1t is probable that the patient is
American, but there is also a possibil-
/ ity that she may be British. For over
three years she has been among
strangers in Belgium and France, un
able to give her name, her birthplace,
or any particulars at all about her
self. Her past life is a blank to her
as a rule, but there are times when
she recounts the names of places
through which she has passed or
where she has lived, even giving the
names of the streets.
On such occasions she talks of Man
haitian, Winnipeg, Buenos Ayres and
other places in the New World with
such wealth of details as to make it
certain that if she is not actually a
native she has at any rate spent many
years in America. She often gives
the most plausible details as to her
past life, but when any ATTEMPT at
verifcation is made they are always
found to be a fabrication of her over
active imagination,
The doctors theory is that she is in
what psychologists call a second
state" and that if he could only, by
some means, bring her back to the
FIRST state" that is normal conscious
ness she would completely regain rec
objection of her past life, and would
at the same time forget all that has
taken place during the past three
years.
On one occasion after being hypnot-
lied she was told to gaze into a crys-
tai globe. She at once described with
mass of details how she had been
shipwrecked on the liner Drummond
Castle, when that boat went down OH
Ushunt some years ago, adding that
both her parents had been drowned
and that she was saved by a fellow
passenger named Bennett. The doc
tor has been unable to trace any pas
senger Of that name, but an English
newspaI eT has received a letter stat
ing that a steward named Bennett
persisted in the shipwreck.
Another time she related in horror.
stricken tones a terrible English rail.
way accident in which she was very
nearly killed, The accident really
happened, but it has been impossible
to trace her connection with it.
The doctors have come to the con-
clusion that in her present state of
mind all the exciting things she has
read or heard of have become con-
fused in her mind with actual expert
ences. At the same time her mental
arrangement is just such as would be
caused by the shock of a shipwreck
or ether violent accident, and they are
thus plunged in a complete dilemma
as to what to believe.
The young woman has a good educa-
ton. She appears to be a Catholic. !
She is sympathetic, and gentle and in
every way charming in disposition. !
