THE HAGUE. Sept. 2s.-Queen
Wilhelmina of Holland takes the
greatest interest in her army. During
the last two weeks she has made
several to.lrs of inspection along the
border. looking into matters strictly
military and paying special attention
to the health and comfort of her men.
OF her most recent trip to the Linn
burg border the Meijerische courant
tells the following story, part of
which will be best appreciated when
1t is borne in mind that the queen is
no longer the svelt young girl of yore-
but with advancing years has in
creased in weight considerably.
after a review of her troops" says
the paper, "her majesty went to a
nearby barn, In front of which a
sentry was on duty. Some of the men
had been housed in the barn.
ITO the question of her majesty
how she could get to the upper floor
of the barn, the sentry replied that a
ladder most primitive, rickety
affair-was the only means of access.
THE queen eyed the ladder for a
moment and then began the ascent
slowly, steadying herself by selling
the beams.
when she arrived on the floor she
found that 1t was the quarters of a
number of soldiers, who, seeing the
queen before them so suddenly, were
unable to reply promptly to her ques-
ton: Are you satisfied, boys?'
But the smartest of the company
soon gathered his wits and replied:
We'll satisfied, your majesty
And how Is the food?'

LONDON, Oct. 12.-"Antwerp was
not seriously damaged by the German
bombardment," says the Chronicles
Amsterdam correspondent. "Only the
suburb of Berchem and the southeast
quarter of the town suffered badly
Long after they had been evacu-
ated the Germans continued firing on
and around the ruins of the blown up
forts. They feared mines and hoped
thus to destroy them. Near the
southern suburbs the ground had
been extensively mined by the Bel
sgians, but the Germans were warned
by traitors from within the city, and
took care to avoid the danger zone.
ION Thursday morning the retreat
ing troops from Antwerp passed on
their fight to Ostend, there being no
fewer than 800 motor cars filed with
soldiers who had already passed
through the town. The intention was
to reach Ostend by forced marches,
and the soldiers were relieved of their
knapsacks, which were carried in the
vans. Motor 'busses from London
carried footsore troops who had
fallen out OF line. Then came col
umns OF machine guns, drawn by
dogs.

and late that night the artillery

they had accounted for heaps of Ger

Court Convenes.

WASHINGTON, Oct 1.-THE Su-
preme Court convened today. accord
ing to law, for its work, with 652
cases ready for consideration, or
nearly eighty-fve less than last year.
Every member of the tribunal was In
the city and ready to take his place
on the bench.
Two features distinguished the
courts labor for the day. One was
the swearing in as an associate JUS
tice James C. McReynolds, who, when
the court adjourned last June, faced
the tribunal as attorney general. He
succeeds the late Justice Lurton. The
other business of the day was for
NAL call by the court on President
Wilson, in conformity with a custom
established years ago for the head Of
the judicial branch of the govern
ment to pay its respects to the head
of the executive.
Before the oath of office was admin
istered to Justice McReynolds, Chief
Justice White paid a tribute to the
memory of Justice Lurton, who died
after the court adjourned for the sum
mer recess The chief Justice spoke
Of the loss suffered by the country,
and added that the keenness of the

the new attorney general. Thomas w.

remarked:
That does not surprise me- With
that she turned to a member of her
encourage with the instruction: To
morrow that must be changed.
Turning again to the soldier, she
asked:
."'How are the sleeping accommoda-
tions?'
We could do with another blanket,
your majesty replied the soldier
who by now Seemed to be quite at
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
rieketey ladder, plainly gratified 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 is
credited even with a comprehensive
knowledge of military engineering.
To be reviewed by the queen Is not
matter of form, as might be ex-
pected in the case of a woman. On
the contrary, Queen Wilhelmina de-
tects inefficiency very quickly, as some
of her officers have good reason to
know. In fact, it is asserted here
that her majesty expects more from
her army that the periods of drill and
expenditures would seem to warrant.

u. S. ConsuIs Faced Dangers
to Aid Americans Abroad

WASHINGTON, Oct 12.-In their
zeal to protect not only American
citizens, but also those of the allied
countries whose interests have been
confided to them, the American con-
sular officers in Belgium, and espe-
cially in Antwerp, have exposed
themselves to great personal danger
during the military operations which
have marked the German conquest
of Brussels and Antwerp.
Advices to the state department to-
day showed that Henry w. Dieder-
ich, the American consul-general at
Antwerp, with his family fled from
the city only after the bombardment
had actually begun, while Harry
Tuck Sherman, the vice-consul, de-
layed his departure with his family
so long that they suffered terrible
privations and personal danger in
getting to a place of safety. Hugh
Gibson, the young secretary of Legal
ton at Brussels, has voluntarily
made himself a personal messenger
for Brand Whitlock, the American
minister to Belgium, between Ant
werp and Brussels and London.

SERVANTS HERE
AFFECTED BY WAR
Great Falling Off in Demand for
Domestics Since Possibilities
Started.

One of the results of the European
war here is the complete solution of
the servant problem, according to
the heads of most of the local em-
ployment agencies. There has been
a falling Off of 80 to rs per cent. in the
demand for domestics in the last
month. This appears most surprising
from the fact that at this time of the
year there Is usually a greater de-
mand for maids, buffers, cooks and
other domestic servants than the
agencies can supply.
THE beginning of the winter So
cial season has always signaled a
large demand for domestic help" said

cies today. 1.-THE weather. class of
people are usually opening their town
homes after returning from their
summer homes during this month,
and consequently there has beeen
many more good jobs than we had
applicants for.
Conditions have changed great
deal during the last month, however
Instead of having more positions than
applicants conditions are exactly re-
versed. This can be traced to the
hard times caused by the European
war. / know of one man in the Rose
vile section who has a large broker
age office in New York. The closing
of the stock exchange and the present
condition of the money market has
caused him to look about for oppor-
tunities of cutting down expenses.
This man usually employs three or
four servants during the winter sea-
son, but he has only one servant in
his home now.
"The same situation seems to pre-
vail in nearly all the homes of our
wealthy citizens In years past SER

dozen excellent places, and if not sat

the feeling of certainty that she would

present the servant who has a posi-
ton is holding on to it and realizes
the scarcity of good places. During
the last two weeks / have had hun
dreds of competent persons applying
| for positions as domestics, but we
cannot place them"
With two exceptions, the heads OF q
dozen different agencies reported sim
