BERLIN, September %, 1913.
1t is announced in court circles that,
contrary to general expectations, the
crown princes "exile' at Danzig. which
ought to have ended this month, Is to be
prolonged for another year.
The kaiser's heir and the crown prfn-
cess had prepared to move to Breslau.
as the crown prince has recently been
promoted to command the Breslau
Guards In spite Of his remonstrances,
the kaiser ordered him to remain In DAN
zig.
It is said that. in addition to the fr1c-
ton between the kaiser and his son, some
misunderstanding has occurred between
the empress and the crown princess. The
former Is very strict Puritan, and does
not approve of the less rigid ways OF her
daughter-in-law. For one thing, the
crown princess Partisan dresses are dis
liked by the empress, who adheres TO the
rigid Prussian severity.

KING ALFONSO REsoURcEFUL.
Extricates Himself From Unpleasant
Situation While Motoring.

Foreign Correspondence OF The Star
MADRID, September "a 1913.
King AIfonsos resourcefulness is aptly
illustrated by the manner in which he ex-
tricated himself from an unpleasant situa-
ton while on his recent visit to Bilboa.
Returning from motor-car trip to Ber-
neo, the king. whose car was not pro-
vided with lamps, was overtaken by the
darkness. On reaching Cape Machichaco.
where the road takes several abrupt and
dangerous curves, the car proceeded at a
snail's pace, in order to avoid falling
over the edge Of precipice, when two
motor bicycles, showing brilliant lights.
overlook it.
The king, hailing the cyclists, invited
them to take their seats in his car, re-
questing them at the same time to place
their machines on the footboards on
either side of his vehicle.
Provided by this means with two bright
headlights, the royal car resumed the re-
turn Journey with all possible speed to
Bilbao.

THE TROUBLE WITH LONGLEGS
WAS AN EMPTY STOMACH.
Long1egs just pretended not to hear. But
when Little Joe was out OF sight and
hearing he began to grumble to him
SELF
mo wonder have no luck, with that
fellow racing up and down the brook, !"
said he. HE isn't content to catch what
he wants himself, but frightens the rest
of the fish so that an honest fisherman
like me has no chance at all. I don't
see what Old Mother Nature was think
ing Of when she gave him liking for
fish. He and Billy Mink are just two
worthless little scamps. born to make
trouble for other people,"
He was still grumbling when these two
same little scamps poked their heads out
Of the grass on the other side of the lit
tie pool. You look happy. Longlegs.
Must be that you have had good break
fast" said Little Joe, nudging Billy
Mink.
Longlegs snapped his great bill angrily.
What are you doing here, spelling my
fishing?" he demanded. Haven't you
got the Big River and all the rest Of the
Laughing Brook to fool around in? This
is my pool and I'll thank you to keep
away
Billy Mink chuckled so that Longlegs
heard him and that didn't improve his
temper a bit. But before he could say
anything more Little Joe Otter spoke:
oh" said he, 1--WE beg your pardon.
Billy Mink just happened to see Grand
father Frog sound asleep and We thought
that if you hadn't had good luck this
morning you might like to know about it.
But as long as you think SO i'll of us we'll
just run over and tell Blackcap the Night
Heron"
Little Joe turned as II to start off in
search OF Blackcap at once. Hold on
minute'' called Longlegs, and tried to
make his voice sound pleasant a very
difficult thing to do. because, you know.
his voice is very harsh and disagreeable.
''The truth is, 1 haven't had a mouthful
Of breakfast. and to be hungry is apt to
make me cross Where did you say
Grandfather Frog is?'
II didn't say replied Little Joe, but
II you really want to know, he is sitting
on his big, green, nly-pad in the Smiling
Pool, fast asleep right in plain sight"
Thank you." said Longlegs; "I believe

Preventing Train Wrecks.
II.--Block Signals and Au-
tomato Stops.
By Frederic J. Haskin.

When the operating department OF q
big railroad seeks to guarantee its trains
against wrecks 1T finds on the market
great many devices which are supposed
almost wholly to eliminate the danger OF
serious wrecks. The block signal system
for years has been regarded as the best
protection that experience could provide,
and yet the best block signal system that
the signal manufacturers of the United
States have offered the railroads has not
overcome the personal equation in train
operation.
Some $1,000 miles of railroad line in
the United States are now operated py
block systems, two-thirds Of 1t under the
manual block and one-third under the
Automatic block. 1t is agreed that the
automatic system Is superior TO the
manual system, and yet, under present
conditions, even It has not entirely pu!
an end to wrecks, since dispatchers ana
telegraph operators are still hapie 10
make mistakes, and since train men are
still at times either forgetful or careless
of their orders.
The desire on every hand has been to
find system that will make 1t Impossible
for a train. to be moved contrary TO
orders. Many kinds Of automatic stops
have been brought out But an automatc
stop which will not stop train against
Its own defects, as well as warn tne
engineer Of other occasions for stopping,
is more of a menace than an advantage.
For instance, If an automatic stop is sup
posed to be set, and it proves not to De.
it's failure might result in worse wreck
than it was intended to prevent The en-
gineer, finding no obstructing device IN
his way, might assume that the road was
clear ahead and rush on to certain dis
aster The ideal train stop. therefore,
must be one which, when out OF order,
will be in position to stop train. 1t
must detect its own failure, as well as
warn of operating conditions that require
a train to come to a standstill.
