SUFFRAGETTES
INVADE PALACE
DESPITEQ QUEEN
Fear That They win Kidnap Eng
Iish Royal Children Causes In
creased Detective Force.
Special Gable to The American.

LONDON, July 12.-Queen Mary,
who, ever since her visit to Ger
many, has been living in constant
terror of the suffragettes, who are
said to be planning to capture one
of the royal children, was greatly
shocked some time ago by the dis
covery that not one but several be-
levers in the militant idea had got
inside the palace walls and had been
in touch with the royal family every
day for several months.
The Queen Immediately before she
went abroad discovered a parlor maid
in the royal apartments wearing the
dreaded badge of the Women's Social
and Political Union.
Gives Queen Her Promise.
On the advice of the secret service
department nothing was said about
the discovery at the time and the girl
was even permitted to keep her posi-
ton after a long talk with Queen
Mary, whom she willingly promised
not to take advantage of her position
to spirit away any of the royal chill
dren.
During the last few weeks a quiet
investigation of the political creed Of
all women high and low occupied in
side the palace walls brought out the
astonishing fact that practically ev-
cry maid employed by the royal fam
lily was stepped in militant literature,
and that a great number of aristo-
cratic ladies holding high court posi-
lions were ardent followers of Mrs.
Pankhurst.
Chief Dresser Resigns.
When Queen Mary. who, until the
suffragettes began to commit illegal
and criminal acts of violence. had
been a believer in political rights for
women, found herself surrounded by
militant suffragettes she at first in
tended to get rid of all the suspected
ones, and IT was because of this that
Lady Shaftesbury suddenly resigned.
The Queen accepted her resignation
with perfect equanimity, but was
greatly perturbed when it was fol-
lowed by the resignation Of her chief
dresser who was in charge of that
part of her wardrobe intended to be
used during her visit to Berlin.
For several days CONSERVATION
relgned at Buckingham, as several OF
the Queens dresses were not yet
ready. The chief dresser steadfastly
refused to bulge, but in the eleventh
hour the diplomacy Of Queen Alex
andra resulted in a compromise
whereby Queen Mary gave up her
first severe course and had to be sat
istied with a promise by the suffra-
gettes inside the palace walls that
they would not openly wear the W. s.
p. r. badge while on duty in the royal
residences and that they would not
distribute seditious literature among
the other employees.
The Queen, however, since the last
mad exploits Of the suffragettes does
not trust these promises and special
detectives are watching the royal
Children night and daY.

DEFENSE
IS BIC PROBLEM
BEF0REB BRITAIN
Three Different Factions in Eng
land Dispute as to Best Plan of
lnsuring Against Invasion.
BY PHILIP EVERETT,
.peelal Gable to The American.

LONDON, July 12-There was a
time when England trusting her
proud. invincible navy, felt as safe
as If the whole country were protected
by a bombproof shelter but nowadays
the public mind is forever taken up
with deliberations of the question If
England really is capable Of resisting
any enemy and how the country may
best defend herself If the occasion
should arise.
England's political situation in the
world, of course, is not 80 very bad.
With justifiable pride we point TO the
fact that the country's traditional
world policy is still triumphant time
and again, and at present England
hardly has a rival able to move his
arms so freely as England herself.
Britain Political Center.
We make the most of the fact that
the now ended war in the Balkans
at its finish moved the political CEN
ter of gravity toward Great Britain. It
is also a fact that as far as diplomatic
success among the powers is con-
cerned England emerged at least tenn
porarily an easy winner, whose states
men are still studying and observing
the remaining Balkan problems so as
to get the greatest possible benefit
from them. That Sir Edward Grey
has proved himself a diplomat of rank
even the most bitter opponents of the
present government willingly admit.
But, in spite Of all our diplomatic
successes and our growing political
prestige, we look with fear and appre-
hension at the rapid growth, not only
among the great powers, but also in
the smaller countries of navies, dir
igibles, aeroplanes and armies. We
realize, perhaps. even to exaggeration
that this military and naval evolution
in other countries has created new
state of affairs which makes It ride
ulous or even criminal to indulge in
the old time dreams Of England
safety and impregnability.
Nation Is Divided.
When the question arises how Eng
land is to be defended against a hos
tile attack, the people divide them
selves into three camps. The first OF
these consists of dWindly party OF
people who insist that England should
place her whole trust in her navy
| This does not mean to say that the
English people have less confidence
| In their navy than before, for thii
| is very far from being che case, but Il
/ Is realized that with the evolution OF
] the various arms of attack the field OF
| activity and usefulness of the navy
! has diminished.
The most numerous party In the
country consists Of those who place
their trust in intelligent corporation
between the navy and the territorial
army. This view is held by the ad-
miral-in-chief Of the navy. Prince
Louis of Battenberg, who recently
openly declared that, unassisted, the
navy would not be able to protect the
country, but that a well drilled army
was an absolute necessity.

LONDON. July I2.-London costers

King of the Pearlies," whose funeral
took place recently.
Eoyle died in the Royal Free Hos
pital, after brief illness, which had
been brought on by undertaking a
deed of kindness when in weak health.
When in full dress F'oyle wore a suit
studded with $4,000 pearl buttons.
II was not so much his dazzling
suit of pearlies-the envy OF hundreds
of his class-as his great human
heart" which won for Foyle the adj
miration of all with whom he came In
contact. He was always one Of the
first to respond to the call of charity
and his sympathy with his fellow
workers won for him the admiration
of Princess Louise. Duchess Of Argyll
When Foyle lay In the Royal Free
Hospital her royal highness sent her

ton.

is well patrOnized.

consumed last year by the sos deputies
was barely $4,000 (of which $4,000 went
for mineral waters) they can not be ac-

mundane happenings when I met
