roster of the New York stock eX-
change, and if such men as there are
giving it their support, with hundreds
of thousands of dollars, it seems to
the secretary that the people of the
city can well afford to give a little
something toward the relief of the
sufferers beyond the sea.
The above is a committee of Am
erican citizens, acting with the min
lister from Belgium to the United
States. and the Belgian consul gen
eral of New York City, they appeal
to the people to contribute according
to their means for the relief of the
misery of the nOn-combatants in Bel
GUM. The appeal is in no sense po-
litical, no opinion is expressed as to
the merits of the struggle now IN
progress. They seek only to bring for
chilly to the attention of the American
people that Belgium, mindful of her
obligations to observe a strict neutral
ity is today in a state of destitution
and misery unparalleled in the worlds
history.
The Belgians are in need of every
necessity of life, but for contributions
from this section of the country, the
best thing to give is a check. 1t will
be used by the relief committee to
purchase food and supplies near the
shipping point and saves considerable
expense in express charges.
J. p. Morgan & company % Wall
street, New York City, have consented
to act as depository for this fund and
all checks should be made payable to
them FOR THE BELGIAN RELIEF
FUND. New clothing sent prepaid to
the Belgian consul general, % Madi-
son avenue, will be forwarded to its
destination.
The following is a short form of
letter used in forwarding checks that
is suggested by the relief committee:
Ovember---------, 1914.

while Her Majesty's living expenses and
the wages at Sandringham amounted to
s4O0 O00 thus in living expenses alone
Queen Alexandra last year spent s250,000
more than the sum which she receives
from the nation, which was supposed To
cover the cost OF her maintenance and the
upkeep Of her two establishments.
Before Queen alexandra went with her
sister to Balmoral she ordered special
through train from London 10 Ballater,
and then almost al the last moment,
altered the hour she had arranged 10
leave London at from 2.30 p. m. to S.45
y. m. The alteration in the special serv-
Ice naturally caused great Inconvenience
to the railway company and put an ad-
ditional $1,000 TO the cost Of the special.
and the only reason why Her Majesty
made the alteration in the hour OF her
departure from London was in order to
allow her time TO see some new designs
for the papering OF one OF the rooms at
Marlborough House, which could have
easily been sent on TO her at Balmoral.
Queen Ale1andra's expenditure on gifts
to relations and friends Is lavishly ex-
travagant Her Majesty paid $4,000 for
gold vase which she presented TO the
Duchess Of FIT for a wedding present.

London, Jan. "a,
~ OR some time past Queen Alex
r. andra's financial affairs have been
= the subject Of a good deal Of talk
among those in her immediate encourage.
Her Dowager Majesty is perhaps one
OF the worst wo menof business who ever
had the unfettered control Of consider
able fortune. Her income from the state
is S350,000 per annum and her private
fortune in the way OF charges on the es~
tate OF the lnte king and interest from
invested monies amounts to about 100000
This income. properly managed, would
far more than have sufficed TO meet the
needs OF Her Majesty after King Ed
wards death, and would have been suf-
flcient to have kept her in the dignity and
state which the widow OF the sovereign
might have naturally desired to have
maintained.
But her expenditures have been steadily
increasing until during the past year, IL
has exceed her income by several tens
of thousands.
The catering bills and wages at Marl'
borough House, which Sir Dighton Probyn
considered should not exceed 100000 per
annum, last year amounted to 100000,

The Dowager Queen Who Is Always in Debt

Her Majesty, when at Bafmoral, ordered
a pearl and diamond necklace as pres
ent for the Princess Mary TO wear at the
royal wedding Four necklaces were sent
from London to Balmoral by special mes
senger for Her Majesty's approval. One
of these was valued al $4,000, and this
she would have given TO the Princess, but
Queen Mary would not allow Her Majesty
to do SO.
A couple OF months ago Queen Alex
andra was forced to face the fact that her
expenditure was exceeding her income by
a notification from her bankers that her
private account was overdrawn by nearly
$4,000 To meet her bankers' overdraft,
Queen Alexandra has had to realize some
OF her securities. and at the urgent solici-
tations OF King George Her Majesty has
allowed Mr. Leopold de Rothchild to go
into her financial affairs.
Only last week. on the suggestion or
the chief groom at the stables at Marl-
borough House. she allowed an order TO
be sent out for three motor luggage
wagons at cost of $4,000 per wagon.
which Will put a commission Of at least
,750 in the pocket OF the groom. and the
wagons. which are not required, will prob
ably never be used.
