HOLLAND, S QUEEN
TAKES INTEREST

number of soldiers, who, seeing the
queen before them so suddenly were
unable to reply prom pity to her ques-
ton: Are you satfxfied, boys?'
But the Bmaftest of the company
soon gathered his wits and replica:
Well satisfied. Your Majesty.
And how Is the food?
Very good, Your Majesty.
How are conditions otherwise?
Beginning to be a little cold,
Your Majesty.
THE queen for moment survey
the roof whose tiles seemed to be air
proof in the least possible degree and
remarked:
That does not surprise me-. With
that she turned to a member of her

morrow that must be changed.
Turning again to the soldiers.
she asked:

tons?

who by now seemed to be quite al
ease.
Again the queen turned to one Of
the persons with her and ordered
that more blankets be provided.
After this the queen descended
the rickety ladder, plainly gratifed
with the opportunity of having been
of some service to her soldiers.
Queen Wilhelmina is quite an au-
thority on military matters, such as
organization and equipment. and il
credited even with a comprehensive
knowledge of military engineering.
To be reviewed by the queen is moi
matter OF FORM as might be expect
ed in the case of woman. On tho
contrary Queen Wilhelmina detects
ineficiency very quickly. as some OF
her officers have good reason to know.
in fact 1t is asserted here that Her
Majesty expects more from her army
than the periods OF drill and expendi-
lures would seem to warrant.

EDIS0N'S LATEST RECORDS
TELEPHONE CONVERSATIONS
Simple Machine Represents Years of
Patient Experiment.

NEW YORK, Sept. A.-Edison latest
invention the telescribe, which records
both sides of telephone conversation, is
now on exhibition.
The machine is simple. The desk tele-
phone is equipped with two transmitters
and two receivers. The talker used one
set and the other set Is hitched to a
phonograph record which takes down
every sound on the wire. The phono-
graph is started recording and stopped at
will by pressing buttons.
But though the machine is simple and
easily understandable. like other Edison
inventions, 1t represents years of expert
ment. II was pointed out yesterday that
though Mr.. Edison said of the phono-
graph in 1878 "the phonograph will per-
feet the telephone" neither he nor any
one else perfected mechanism to>record
telephone conversations In the IS years
following his prophecy until the appear
ance of the telescribe.
An important difficulty was the weak
ness of the voice at the further end of
the telephone wire. This was overcome
by putting one receiver against an acous-
ticon. which sufficiently magnified the
sound to permit the phonosraph to take
1t down clearly.
1t was said yesterday that so per cent.
of all communications in this country to-
day is over the telephone The chief
value of the telescribe is expected to be
in fixing exactly what was agreed to by
phone in business transactions. One tele-
scribe will serve for all the business of a
firm. 1t can be affixed to the switch
board and used in recording any CONVEX
sation wished. The price of the instru-
ment has not yet been settled.

GERMAN EMPEROR REVIEWS
ORDER OF THE IRON CROSS
Founded by King Frederick William
III as Reward for Valor.

Shortly after the opening of hostilities
the German Kaiser, following the prece-
dent established by William I, reinstitut-
ed the famous order OF the Iron Cross
The New York Staats-zeitung fur
nishes an interesting history of this COW
eted mark of distinction, which is
awarded solely for the performance Of
deeds OF the highest valor on the field
OF battle.
King Frederick william III of Prus-
sia founded the order on March 10. 1918,
as reward for services rendered TO the
Fatherland in the Napoleonic wars The
piainness of the iron insignia was intend
cd to remind its wearers OF the hard
times that had brought 1t into being. IT
was a small iron Maltese cross inlaid wit.
a narrow. silver band just inside the bev-
eied edge The only other marks upon
il were three oak leaves in the centre.
the royal initials +. Y. surmounted by
a small crown and the date 1873.
AS Is customary in the case of royal or
ders. there were two classes and a grand
cross. the, latter twice the regular size.
In 1871 permanent endowment was add
e1 paying fixed annual sums to the
wearers Of the decoration.
On July 10, 1870, the day that France
again declared war on Prussia the order
was revived by King William | on the
same conditions as originally instituted.
At that time the three oak leaves were
dropped. and the letter w, the crown and
the date 1871 we're substituted for the
original marks. but the three leaves were
restored by an order Of the imperial
council in 1895. The decoration as re-
,ised in 1870 has been bestowed on 1854
German warriors of all classes, including
those coming from German states outside
os Prussia.

MINDS POWER WILL
KEEP THE BODY YOUNG
Men Have Ability, if They Wish, to
Defer Old Age,

In the October Woman's Home Com
panion Ralph Waldo Trine writes an
article entitled. when Is Youth-What
After YOUTH" The principal point which
h, brings out is the power of the mind
10 keep the body young and vigorous. In
the following extract from his article he
touches on this point. and also indicates
the divisions between youth, middle age
and old age:
That we have IL in our power to de-
leImine our physical and bodily condi-
lions TO far greater extent than We do
is an undeniable fact. That we have it
IN our power to determine and TO dictate
The conditions of old age to a marvel
our degree Is also an undeniable fact-lt
We are sufficiently keen and sufficiently
awake 10 begin early enough.
IL any arbitrary divisions of the va
r,ous periods of life were allowable, 1
should make the enumeration as follows:
Youth, barring the period of babyhood,
10 10; middle age, i5 to 60; approaching
tse. 30 to 75i old age. 10 to 95 and 100.
That great army of people who age
long before their time that likewise
great army of both men and women who
slong about middle age, say from 45 to
hO' break, and, as we say, all of a sud
zen 80 to pieces, and many die, just at
The period when they should be in the
prime of life. in the full vigor of man
mood and womanhood and OF greatest
value TO themselves, to their families
and to the world, is something that is
contrary TO nature, and is one OF the
p!tlable conditions of our time A great
et knowledge, a little foresight, q little
care In time could prevent this in the
great majority of cases, in 30 cases out
OF every 100, without question"

CANADA'S BIG PROBLEM
IN MOVING HER CROPS
Uses Vast Continental Railways to
Hurry Men to Quebec.

Canada is making great contributions
to the war. 1t is still uncertain how
many troops she will contribute. but 100,-
600 is the number most frequently men,
toned. and the statements recently made
by Lord Kitchener and Lord Roberts re-
garding the necessity for raising the
largest possible number of British troops
makes it apparent that every man
Canada can send will be needed, says
Kathleen Hills in Leslie's.
Canada, being a vast territory, sparsely
settled. has important problems of COM
munication, and the Government has
taken every precaution to see that none
OF the transcontinental railway facilities
are impaired by the destruction OF bridges
or other strategic points. That accounts
for the sentries at bridges. along difficult
stretches OF track, and in the mountain
passes.
All along the route we saw troop trains
rushing the volunteers from the Far West
to the mobilization headquarters near
Quebec The Canadian Pacific is hand
ling most of this traffic being best
equipped to do so because, in it's own
shops, 1t was able to build nine special
kitchen cars in less than week. These
are painted white inside. and provided
with storage facilities for four days food,
including refrigeration, and with kitchen
apparatus sufficient TO prepare three
meals day for 1000 men.
or course the troops are not given eIab-
crate tourist meals, but they are we'll
fed, the kitchen cars containing tea and
coffee urns, hot water boilers and all
necessary conVeniences. The meals are
served from enameled plates in the cars
in which the troops are quartered. A
detail OF soldiers does the serving. II is
a big task TO transport several thousand
men from Western Canada TO Quebec on
short notice and Canada has a right TO
herself on the promptness
and efficiency with which 1t has been
done.

BRITISH CENSOR OPENED
AUSTRIAN CONSULATE MAIL
Letters Seized From Steamship for
Official in This City.

A breach OF neutrality by the British Is
alleged at the Austrian Consulate In
Philadelphia Official registered letters
addressed to the Consulate in Philadel-
phia have been opened by the censor in
London. These letters were received
here late last night. 1t Is said at the
Consulate that there was a breach OF
neutrality in that these letters must have
been taken from a neutral ship. either
of the italian or of the Holland lines, as
these are the only ways by which Aus
trian mail could reach this country. The
letters will be sent TO DIR. Constantine
Dumba. the Austro- Hungarian Ambas-
sador at Washington.
The act of the censor at London is con-
sidered at the Consulate as being a per-
fdious outrage and surprise was ex-
pressed that a nation such as England
would be guilty of such action.
A private registered letter from Austria
was also opened by the English censor.
This was received in the same mail az

GERMAN CRUISERS
ACTIVITIES CAUSE
WAR RISK RAISE
Sinking of Six Ships by
Commerce Destroyers In
Influences Increase to 5 Per
Cent. to Far East.

Activity of German commerce Destroy
ers. which recently sank six steamships
in the Bay of Bengal, has caused an ad-
vance to five per cent in some classes
of war risk insurance rates, and has IN
huenced the American Institute OF
Marine Underwriters not to quote any
rates on vessels bound to countries
bordering on or near the bay.
The advanced rates will apply particu-
iarly to countries on, the east and west
coast of Africa in the AntIpodes and in
the neighborhood of China and japan,
where German cruisers are said to be
particularly active in their raids on COM
merce.
The table below, prepared by the Amer
lean Institute of Marine Underwriters
shows the rates ruling this week for
war risk insurance on exports of general
merchandise shipped through Philadel-
phia, New York and Boston. These rates
were received today by local underwriters.
The institute makes it plain that then are
not to be accepted as current figures
and that it is not imperative that they
be followed in the writing of risks. The
matter of proper rates to be charged Is
left entirely TO the discretion of the in
divldual underwriters
Inc rates are percentages OF the cargo
values. The first column covers vessels

are quoted; the second column, ships of

LOCATED about twenty miles from

about 10000, is one Of the principal
military centres Of Belgium, for 1t
contains upwards Of 1870 manufac.

pots Of arms, for the pieces are made
and mounted by the workman in their

great numbers Of rifles in the city Is
