London. Eng, Feb. 28.-Shocked to
find that there are only about 1000
British walters in London to 10000
foreigners, group of men, including
Col William SERGEANT Thomas Dewar
and the Rev. w. P. BiclIford, are seek

They have organized a club for ma

commOdious new club house in Char

system" said J. R. Collins, secretary
and treasurer of the club Nowadays
in this country they teach children
everything they are not likely to want
and nothing completely To be an eff

of foreign walters know three Ian

The trouble is parents Of boys who
might become walters always seem
TO associate waiting with a seedy in

know nothing Of walters in the big
hotels. There is a growing desire to
employ British walters, but they can
not be had.

= ONDON, Eng, Feb. 2s.-Queen
Mary, it is said. is finding it more
and more difficult to manage her
only daughter, princess Mary, who has
developed considerable strength OF viii
and very often manages to get her own
way. Also in regard to her future she
has her own ideas and has steadfastly
refused to consider any Of the young
royal princes whom her mother, who is
now very anxious to get her off her
hands, has suggested.
The fact is that princess Mary is as
much in love as ever with prince Eric
Of Denmark, son of queen AIexandra's
youngest brother and the late princess
Marie OF Orleans. to whom queen Mary
objects first because he is poor and
second, because she does not want to
see her daughter the sisterinIaW of an
ordinary Italian countess of not very
ancient lineage.

PRINCE WILL

African Trip Planned by the
Kaiser to Get Son Out

HOPES TO TEACH
WILHELM A LESSON
BY STEVEN BURNETT.

n ERLIN, Germany, Feb. 2S-The
X news that it was intended to
send the German crown prince
abroad after he had once more, fol-
lowing the Zabern incident, put his
finger in the political pie, was gener-
ally though not officially denied. Now
all the world knows that in June crown
prince wilhelm is to start on the ex-
tended trip through the German Afri-
can colonies.
The trip which was originally in
tended as a punishment comes as a
relief to the young prince, who cannot
get used to the dry and dreary office
work he is now doing at the headquar-
UerS or the general staff, so much
more as he is to be given a command
Of a brigade of the guards when he
returns, probably in November, but
possibly not until the early part of
next year.
Empress Opposes.
It has taken all the kaiser's wonder
ful powers of persuasion to get the
consent of the empress to send their
Oldest son abroad, for the empress
fears the influence of the African eli
mate on the health of the prince who
has never been very robust She fl
nally consented when it was shown
that the itinerary planned would not

Marlin Gorky Dying,
Is Permitted to Go
Back to Russian Home

Rome, Italy, Feb. 2S.-Maxim Gorky
is back in Russia after eight years
exile, perhaps to die Of consumption
before another summer, his physicians
say.
Officially the Russian writer is still
at Capri where he has lived since ban
ishment while bodily he is at Masta-
MAXI. Finland. whence he may later
proceed to Moscow. His return is gen
orally a secret in Russia, the govern
ment desiring to take every precau-
ton against irritating demonstrations
by his admirers.
Last year GOrl1y was included in the
comprehensive amnesty conceded by
emperor Nicholas and could then have
returned to his native land without Op-
position, but he asserted then that he
had no intention Of taking advantage
Of the privilege. His falling health
and longing to see his country, how
ever, led him to change his mind and
he has just completed the trip to Mas
tamjaki by easy stages.
GOrky's friends declare that he con-
tracIed the disease during confinement
in the prison fortress of St Peter and
st. Paul, but it is believed his consti-
tuition must have been weakened by
the many years which he spent IN ac-
tual want, his feVerish energy in writ
ing and the increasing labor Of deep
study to overcome his lack of culture.
There has lately appeared an odd
chronology submitted by Gorky to an
editor who had asked for an autobio-
graphy. GOrky replied as follows:

Women Dentists Are
