 kaiser's Portrait in Dust Bin
 Another good war story which heard this week concerns an ex-offieer of the German army resident in England and married to an English wife. He is not naturalized, however, and. therefore. has had to register himself as an alien and under the regulations he must not travel more than five miles from his residence without a special permit. As he lives in Wimbledon and works in the city Of London he had to take up hls residence near hisw ork, and he let his house furnished to an actor. These have been bad times in the theatrical world, and the actor could not pay and did moon- light Hitting. The German secured a permit and travelled to Wimbledon to see that his house was properly locked up and he found that 1t had hsen badly used by the tenants. "But whHE hurt me most of all," he said. was that they took away my autographed portrait of the Kaiser, which his majesty himself save to my father and ,5hich always hung on the wall in my drawing room. 2 Couldn't you find it?' he was asked. "Oh. I found him all right" the German replied but he was in the dust bin init his face down.
 1ElS TlHI nau an uIfiOIlhiilt tNptAA- enee, but any one who has d furnished flat or house to let in the center of Lon don, or anywhere near the center, need not look long for a tenant and can name almost his own terms. London is full or well-to-do refugees from the continent who do not expect to stay long and who are anxious to secure comfortable quar- ters. In addition to these there Is the vast number of British people who usu- ally spend the autumn and winter abroad and who are now looking for quarters in London.
 War Has Stopped His Beer
 Going home in an early morning street car the other night I ran across the one Englishman who is not enthusiastically in favor of fighting the war to a finish. He was very drunk and he was a social- ist, as was evident from the big red but ton that he wore in his lapel and also from his loud and lurid denunciation of the ''-- aristocracy of England. What has this war done for me?" he Shouted. Three of my sons are out there now, and I have to run the house without their help and last night my missus told me that she had to pay more Tor meat, and that I couldn't have so much for beer That's all that the war and - aristocracy has done for me- There were half a dozen worlSingmen in the car. Usually the British workingman is sympathetically amused at any one who has taken a little more beer than he can conveniently carry. but in this case they were neither sympathetic or amused. One of them called the conductor and said to him, See here mate. ride in the car, and if you don't put him out by God I'll throw him through the window The conductor lost no time in enforcing the company's rule and he didn't wait to argue the mat ter with the man with the red but ton. He just stopped the ear, caught him by the shoulders. and dropped him off the rear platform.
 Daring Newspaper Proprietor
 The proprietor of one of the bigges' newspaper organizations in London Is having a very bad time, indeed. with Lord Kitchener. A couple of weeks ago he was told that if he was not careful his paper would be stopped and last week he and his chief editor were summoned in a hurry to the wal office to receive another lecture or the misdoings of one of their cores pondents who had said more than he ought to have said. Most of the pa pers in this country have behaved pa triotical1y," Kitchener is reported .c have said Yours alone has been con sistently unpatriotic."
 Tending the wounded in London Motor cars and big motor charabances filled with wounded soldiers return lini iron the front are now familiaf sights in the streets of London and all the bis English cities. The men are being distributed as far as possible to improvised hospitals at the seaside ard other health resorts, the regular mfli- tary and civil hospitals being re- served for the more serious cases. The organization of the improvised hospitals Is proving the worth of that much ur- derstaffed and overworked branch oi King Georges army, the army nursing service. Usually one of these young women is put In charge of the tempor-
