marked the manager of a fashionable

Christmas tide, so far as London was
concerned, was a blank" he added.
This year all sorts of entertainments
were offered. and such places as the
Ritz, Savoy, Carlton, and half a dozen
others literally eXuded the Christmas
spirit all week. Society. of course. left

Paris also attracts many.

QUEENS BOOK UNDER BAN.
Memoirs, IL Published, Would En-
danger MaueFs Portuguese Income.

Special Cable to The Washington Herald
London. Dec. IA curious misunder-
standing has arisen between Queen
Amelie of Portugal and Stanley Paul, the
publisher.
A few days ago it was stated that
Queen Amelie had written a volume of
memoirs giving a history of the revolu-
ton in Portugal and throwing a flood of
light on that and succeeding events in
the tragic history of her country.
Now has come letter from her majes-
tvs private chamberlain, stating that
there was no foundation for the report,
and that her majesty never intended 10
publish her memoirs. Yet the fact re-
mains that Queen Amelie's manuscript
is in the hands of Mr.. Paul. and is await
ing translation.
The explanation is perhaps not Difficult.
TO find. The Portuguese government
heard of the proposed publication and
vetoed il. As the exiled King still draws
certain revenues from Portugal, 1t would
be impolitic for these to be endangered
by any published memoirs which would
lay bare the secrets Of the revolution.

BUST OF FREDERICK FOUND.
Sculptor Ordered to Make Kings
Face True to Life.

special Cable to The Washington Herald.
Berlin, Dec. T.-The only bust of
Frederick the Great known to have been
made from life has been found in the
vaults Of a small castle near Dessau.
The bust disappeared almost a century
ago and was supposed to be lost per-
manently.
1t is the work OF the italian sculp-
tor. cavaceppi. made at the personal
order OF the King. He compelled the
artist to reproduce his features with
unflattering fidelity. The result differs
materially from the traditional pictures
of the great warrior. 1t, therefore, has
great historical as well as artistic i'm
portance. The bust came into the pos
session OF Prince Johann, of Anhalt, in
1870. He placed 1t in the castle where
1t was found. 1t viii be placed in a
royal museum.

Special Gable to The Washington Herald.
Paris, Dec. T.-Following the lead of
smart Parisiennes, American society
women here are cultivating the society

by wearing hats at an acute angle COM
pletely covering the right eye and leav-
ing only the left visible. A gay touch is
given to the wink by placing imme-
diately under the left eye a large beauty
SPOT which is a criterion of smartness
in Paris this winter.
At the same time the dorsal curve is
further accentuated by throwing the alb
domen well forward. Voluminous muffs
and furs are worn in order to offset the
modish peg-top figure.

RUSSIA TURNS DOWN FRISCO.
Evident Tension Between Embassies
Pending Treaty Question.

st. Petersburg. Dec. H.-For some time
the only diplomatic business between the
American embassy and the Russian for
eign office has been the transmission from
time to time of the names of the various
countries officially accepting the invita-
ton to take part in the San Francisco
exposition. These communications have
been received with freezing silence,
which spoke eloquently of the Russian
governments intention.
If anything more were needed II was
supplied in the official sanction given this
week to holding the Russian exposition
in Moscow in 1915. This counter move
definitely prevents participation in any
other that year.
Regarding the reported intention of
President Wilson to send Pindell. of

that the inception of the club will lead

CoNNAUGETs TO VISIT U. S.
san franciscan Trip Intended to Re-
verse Foreign Omce's Decision.

London, Dec. 27.-It is said by those
close to the Duke of Connaught that in
the early spring, accompanied by the
duchess and Princess Patricia. he may
inspect the site and preparations at San
Francisco for the Panama Exhibition in
1915
The idea is that a visit might prove
agreeable, not only to the American peo-
pie. but to the Canadian government,
which is understood not to appreciate
the delay shown by the imperial authori-
ties in making up their minds as to
whether to be represented officially.
That the visit would quicken English
interests is certain, and If it takes place
the foreign office may be induced to re-
verse its decision.

the simple and unhindered annexation
OF Morroco by France would have been
a death blow to Germany's prestige

the Kaiser had sOlemnly promised con-
slant protection and friendship. Prince
Won Buelow also acknowledged that
the Kaiser's journey to NTangier in

Instinct and Intelligence.

Atlantic Monthly: For many years
it has been the custom to think of in
stinct and intelligence as set over
against each other. The former repre-
sents the inherited reactions of the an
imal; the latter signifies those acts
which the animal learns in the course
of it's individual life and its power to
learn in this fashion.
Instructive acts are perfect the very
first time, while intelligent acts are
slowly acquired. In so far as an ami
NAL is dependent on it's instincts, it is
the victim Of it's ancestry and of it's
immediate environment. In so far as
it is intelligent, 1t can adapt it's enVir-
onment to itself, can raise above it's
immediate surroundings and act in the
light of q distant end to be accom-
plished r ., >r
Instinct is blind as to the outcome of
it's action; intelligence foresees and
modifies it's behavior in the light of it's
foresight, The supreme example of
instinct has been the wasp going
through an elaborate course Of action
to provide food for it's yet unmatched
offspring, seeking out a particular
species of caterpillar, stinging every
segment just enough to stun the ami
NAL, but not kill it, and then deposit
ing the worm at the bottom Of its
newly made nest where it has laid its
egg, covering up the cell and then leav-
ing, never to see the largae nor to live
to do the same act another season
The supremeIy intelligent animal is
man, possessing the earth by the geni.
us of his intellect.

VOTING "coNTEsTS."

Y Recently The Forum was solicited
conducting newspaper contests, and
which wanted to put on a subscription
.~contest" for this paper. The offer
was promptly turned down.
The Forum believes in doing bust
ness in legitimate, business like way.
1t has we'll paid solicitors on the road
who are honest, capable business men,
and they solicit business for The
Forum on business basis and the
big and constantly increasing army Of
Forum readers, take the paper be-
cause they value it.
r The professional contest managers,
who handle these contests as they are
now conducted, are often irrespOnsi-
BILE, and no matter how honest the
Newspaper management may be, they
often work fake schemes to increase
their share of the "winnings'' from
these contests. 1t is an easy matter
to pad" the figures of a weak con-
testant, in order to strengthen the
"interest' in the contest.
: On the whole the contests are poor
business both for the newspapers and
for the subscribers. To the news
papers because they have to give up a.
large portion of their subscription
funds, which are needed in running
the paper, to the contest managers
and for the prizes etc. To the public
because they are bounded by friends"
who are contestants, which often
leaves a very unsavory taste in the
mouth of those solicited in this way.
Z The voting contest is now tabooed
by all newspapers of any standing,
and The Forum can promise its read
ers, that under the present manage
ment, no scheme of this kind will ever
be foisted upon them.

that under the law they cannot en-

provision. Some Of the female en-
ployes were willing to work after that
hour the but the authorities say the
