companied only by one lady in wait
ing and a courier
1t was many years since l had seen
her, and l thought / could recognize in
her strong. thoughtful face new lines,
perhaps from the worries and cares of
the past few weeks. Queen Olga, who
Is an aunt of the car, carries herself
as one would expect-a queen. AL
though dressed somberly in black, the
only touch of lightness was her gray
hair and the natural brightness Of her
face, which was Illuminated by her
smile of recognition.
Queen Olga spoke freely and de-
clared that as devout Christian she
had a message for the women of
Christendom throughout the world.
She said:
Greece does not fear to throw her
self into the scale. She does not fear
for what she may lose, nor has she
any hope of territorial aggrandize-
ment. Greece, like the other Balkan
states. has a solemn duty, that of sue
coring Christian women and children
and men suffering the barbarities OF
Turkish misrule. 1t is a strange
phase of history that has made Greece
the champion of Christendom, whilst
the great powerful Christian nations
stand aside, but this is not question
of politics-it is a question of human
ity.
War can hold no horrors as bad
as those of peace :Tndet the Turkish
flag. There VIII be many families In
destitution because those breadwin-
ners who have not carried the colors
have come forward as volunteers
There will be many widows. many
women weeping for sons who will not
come back. Privation and perhaps
starvation will be added to the empty
chair of him who comes home no
more.
Greece will do all she can to aid
her people in distress. but Greece Is
SO small and the distress Is SO vast
that her women will sell their jewels
and finery to provide for the stricken.
| Just as they did in the last war. If
the women of the great Christian ma
| tions who are not asked to sacrifice
their men in this latter day crusade
would but sacrifice the smallest frac-
ton of their comforts and luxuries for
few weeks. then the men would fight
with lighter hearts, knowing that their
dear ones are not starving at home.
Greeks throughout the world are
filled with enthusiasm. From all over
Europe and Egypt and even America
every incoming ship brings load of
pariots. Their enthusiasm is solid.
They do not cheer or shout on this
grim business. They take 1t earnest
ly. If the enthusiasm and grit Of the
poor man who risks his all means any
thing, then there is food for reflection
in the question of how much civiliza-
ton has borrowed from Greece"

Filipino Matrimonial Agency.

We observed that at night all the
Igorrote unmarried women occupied q
large hut near the center of the vii
lage. They call this institution an
olag. 1t is a sort of social hall, where
the young people of the tribe meet at
night to do their counting. When an
Igorrote girl takes fancy to a par
ticular man. she will steal his spear.
or shield-in fact. any portable chat
tel-and hide 1t in the olag. To re-
cover his property the young man. OF
course, must go in person to identify
1t, So all Igorrotes look on the olag
as the natural matrimonial bureau Of
the tribe. And once the Igorrote man
and woman are thus mated. they OBJ
serve the marriage bonds as faithfully
as they are kept IN countries where
the ceremony is not 30 simple.-Cbris-

Women Students In Germany.

Nowhere in the world have the uni
versities a more masculine outward
aspect than in Germany, and yet, If we
may Judge by recent statistics. femin-
inism is surely gaining ground even in
these strongholds. 1t is now only four
years since women were by law al
lowed to study at German universities.
Now they represent five per cent of the
incorporated students. Berlin counts
s45 (by far the largest NUMBER; Bonn,
255; Goettingen, 224; Munich. 1888;
Heidelberg, 165; Freiburg, 149; Bres-
lau, 1874. and Leipsic, 103. To this
total 1t is necessary to add nearly

NEW TARGET FIRING
Warships to Fire at Actual Boats
Instead of Canvas
Orders Issued to Prepare Three of the
Old Torpedo Craft of the Reserve
Division for Service as Tar
get Vessels.

Washington.-The Atlantic feet In
target practice this fall and next
spring will make several important
departures These include:
Firing at actual torpedo boats in
stead of canvas targets in night prac-
lice.
Firing actual torpedoes. minus ex-
plosives, at real ships.
Firing on the old San Marcos wreck
at short instead of long range.
Heretofore the fleet in practice fired
at targets made by hoisting screens
Of canvas on masts erected on rafts
Of heavy timbers, which were anchor
ed on the range at various points,
their exact location being unknown to
the firing vessel These screens were
painted dark gray, with white
streak at the foot, supposed to repre-
sent the bow wave of an oncoming
torpedo boat.
There were usually four targets,
and the firing ship was directed to
steam along certain prescribed
course At certain point marked by

up, on the range, the firing ship was

which there were usually two on each
side. When she found them the ship
had a certain number of minutes al

gets.
The targets this year will be gen.
uine torpedo boats. Orders have been
Issued to prepare three of the old and
out-of-date torpedo craft of the reserve
division for service as target vessels.
They will be built up amidship to give
them the high free board and as near
ly as possible the general appearance
Of a modern destroyer, and will be
allied with cork to keep them afloat
as long as possible. even though rid
He'd with rapid-fire shells.
One ship from each class of vessels,
that is, one dreadnaught one battle
ship of the Connecticut class, one Of
the Georgia class, and SO on, will do
the actual firing. The entire fleet will
form in column to come on the range.
AS shown in the diagram (No. ~
the point for commencing fire is mark
ed by a station ship. But, to assist in
reproducing as nearly as possible the
exact scenario of night engagement,

ahead of the fleet to act as screen,
precisely as would be done in time OF
war, and these destroyers are expected
to discover the enemy" and report
their presence just as they would un-
der real battle conditions. The only
difference will be that the destroyers
themselves will not open fire.
The guns of the broadside battery
will be allowed five rounds Of ammuni-
ton apiece for this practice, and in
addition few rounds of the new 12-
Inch shrapnel will be distributed for

prefix Emperor" to their names.
Were pre-Caesarian Rome alive and
should Emmanuel take the field per-
sonally and administer a thorough
whipping to the Turk, he title un-
doubtedly would come to him in due
course by the hand Of the comitia
curiata.
In the earliest usage the title first
was awarded magistrates. In strict
ness 1t was more an epithet than
title. Toward the end of the Roman
republic, however, it had become
rather a special title of honor be-
slowed by the acclamation of a victor
ious army on their general, or by
vote OF the senate for distinguished
services.
The last man to wear the imperial
crown of Rome with any degree OF
legitimacy was Romulus Augustulus,
who assumed it A. D. ATS, and beset
by the barbarian invader, was glad
to cast 1t aside in the same year.
Thereafter many adventurous per
sons, by various rough and uncouth
means, managed to establish them
selves for brief periods in the Eternal
City and dub themselves emperors,
but most of them shared their power
with representatives OF the people"
as denoting their personal followers.
Such was Louis the Bavarian, who
in 1928, after whipping Henry VII,
managed to have himself proclaimed
emperor. but whose turbulent incum
bency was matter only of months.

London.-Peace between Turkey and
the Balkan League is in sight but the
6anger of a general European war as
the result of the Austro-Servian clash,
according to dispatches received from
various Continental capitals, is not
lessened.
Turkey, apparently seeing that fur
tier resistance to victorious Bulgars,
Servians and Greeks, is hopeless, and
believing that her appeal to the pow
ers will remain fruitless, entered into
direct negotiations with Bulgaria for
an armistice.
NaZim Pasha, commander-in-chief in
Thrace, acting under orders from the
Sublime Porte, sent an envoy to the
Bulgarian army headquarters to ask
for terms.
The Ottoman government is willing
to abandon the defense of the Chatalja
lines, if the Bulgarians do not press
their demand for formal entry of
their army into Constantinople.
News has been received from Con
stantinople that Turkey and Bulgaria
are considering directly terms of
peace. A provisional arnistice was
signed for three days, and hostilities
ceased.
Nazim Pasha has asked the Bulgari-
an commander-in-chief to extend the
armistice for eight days.
Constantinople is at the mercy of
the Bulgarian invaders, and the over
throw of Turkey in Europe is only a
matter of days, according to experts.
The crushed Turks await only the
downfall of the capital to begin a
fearful massacre of Christians. The
varships in the harbor, it is feared,
will be of little aid, and all Christian
families who are able are .leeing the
city.

Coat tnd Skirt Costumes.

Tailormade coat and skirt costumes are

A new and very effective navy serge
costume has a skirt which opens down
the center of the front to show a narrow
panel of the same material. covered close

Is made In a short three-Quarter length
has broad revers braided to match the
panel which adorns the front OF the skirt
the cuffs being braided to correspond.
In the course of the last fortnight a fair
number OF new models In cloth taffetas
and charmeuse have been launched upon
the Paris stage and at the races. One
point is certain, the vogue of the long
sleeve Is established, and, in nine cases
out Of ten, we find II adapted to the prin-
cipal creations Of the rival camps In the

The principal object in reviving this
sleeve Is to reveal the shape of the arm in
all its beauty. In thick materials for

the sleeve starts from the shoulder seam,
