MISS ELLEN TERRY.

London. May lit is an open secret
that many OF the best known actresses
In England are admirers of the militant
suffragettes and secretly contribute to
their cause. Among these are Gertrude
Elliott, Lena Ashwell Eva Moore, and
Irene Vanbrugh. 1t now appears that
even Ellen Terry's sympathetic heart
beats in unison with the militants, while
she Is known to have spoken in support
of them al private receptions and parties.
Miss Terry and Marie TEMPEST are what
night be termed camp followers They
are both members OF the Actress Fran
chise League, and series of plays ad-
yocating suffrage will be given at the
Court Theater this season under the
auspices of the league.
A friend. who is in Miss Terry's con-
fidence, declares that while the former
actress would greatly depreciate the
manning OF killing of human beings, and
could never be induced to countenance
such extreme measures, she realizes
that the English male temperament re-
ouires such agitation as the militants
have been giving it, and so long as the
activity of the Pankhurst followers is
convinced to the mere destruction of pub
lie property. or even private property
owned by the inveterate foes of the
cause, Miss Terry win not withdraw her
sympathy.

Paris, May I'm. Clemenceau is COM
ing down into the lists again. He an.
nounces his return TO Journalism. It was
through journalism, and almost through
Journalism alone, that NJ Clemenceau
came up again after his fearful fall during
the Panama scandal. The books which he
wrote, like lie Grand Pau and La Me-
lee sociale," which many think arc the
best things he has done, better than his
statesmanship. were often made UP In
part of articles thrown on for the daily
press while the printer was waiting. In
the Aurore, during the Dreyfus case, NJ.
Clemenceau wrote for a year the most
wonderful series of daily articles ever
known, and IL really was from the Aurore
that he rose to be Prime Minister. He
had first risen to President-maker, for
everyone remembers his famous article.
'Je vote pour Loubet," which made NJ.
Joubet President Of the Republic.
Last January NJ. Poincare's election was
M. Clemencau's defeat. But NJ Clemen-
ceau Is never defeated, and when Parlia-
ment met on May rs, he appeared in the
arena again at the head of a new daily
paper, Homme Libre-the free man.
Among the contributors will be M.
viviani. famous for his cry, I'VE have
put out the lights Of heaven" The new
paper will be radical, non-socialistic-M.
Clemenceau Is a great Northumberland
patriotic. NJ Clemenceau was one Of the
first to say that France must return to
the three years military service system.

Berlin, May T.-With every prominent
hotel Of Berlin crowded with diplomats,
royalty. mobiles, and ordinary visitors and
the city and vicinity overlooking with
secret agents and secret police of about
every country of Europe, and still more
to come, everything is in readiness today
for the wedding next week of Princess
Victoria Luise, only daughter of the
| Kaiser, to Prince Ernst August, son OF
the Duke of Cumberland.
So crowded have conditions become that
the Kaiser was compelled to make reser-
vations at hotels for some of his most
distinguished royal guests The first and
second floors of the Hotel Adlon have
been reserved for his three sisters and
Prince and Princess Henry of Prussia,
who, by the way, celebrate on the day
of the wedding their own silver anniver-
sary. A large part of the suite of King
George and Queen Mary Of Great Britain,
also will be quartered at the Hotel Adlon.
Every train into Berlin brings more
noted visitors and guests. In the re-
markable flow Of distinguished persons in
to this city the arrival Of mere ordinary
mobiles has been completely overlooked.

The marriage of the Princess Luise and
Prince Ernst will be a case Of reconcilia-

After many days of labor the princess

that for patriotic reasons the trousseau
was made in this city, but 1t has been
