 The impoverished King of Eltwich r-Halmandt plans on alliance between his daughter. Princess Zavia. and Prince Sacholdt, of Murtavia. The Prince. who has never seen zavia flees the country as the time for the ceremony approaches. leaving word that he must marry as his heart die tates.
 zavia, impressed by the failure of her fathers plans, comes to the res cue by offering to sell the royal jew els in a foreign country By chance Prince Sacholdt is O passenger on the same steamer and makes her ac- Quaintance.
 von Block, an international crook is also on board. While removing Q cinder from his eye, von Block, hold ing a pocket mirror before him. gets reflection of Zavia in her state room inspecting the jewels The flash of the mirror apprises zavia that she is being watched and she switches the hiding place of the jew els vop Blocks plans are thus tenn. porarily thwarted
 On leaving the vessel, Prince sach- oldt gives his name to zavla as "Jo- ham Schmidt" He asks her to sum mon him should she ct any time need his help. Later, yon Block cleverly engineers an automobile accident which nets him the million dollars in gems. The manner in which Prince sacholdt compels the scoundrel to surrender the jewels and how zavia later learns Johann Schmidts" iden. tity, is shown in a startling denoue- ment

WAR EFFECTS
ENGLISH COLLEGE

A letter to @ Cambridge man in New York from another graduate of the same university, who recently re- turned to England, gives some details of the changes that the war has made on the aspect of the ancient courts and colleges. The writer is quoted in Current History as follows:
 The war has left its mark on Cam. bridge. You will remember Whe- wells Court stands apart from Trim ity as a separate entity. Since last summer it has been taken over by the government, and they have had an sorts of soldiers quartered there. There are none now, but in one of the courts there still stands the sol diers wash arrangements, a long zinc lined trough with a few taps running into it under a rough penthouse. The staircases still have the names of the undergraduates painted az their bot tom. but only two or three dons are in evidence. and scrawled in chalk are such queer words as "Comp'y C'N"Medical Room" or "Canleen."
 In another court you may see the remains of the camp kitchen, little piles of brick. and on empty washtub. Even the porter has deserted his old lodge. They are expecting a couple of hundred Canadian nurses next, but they wont do the damage the Welsh territorialists did, who tore out about S6,O00 worth of gas and electric fix lures for pure lightness of heart.
 Pembroke and Peterhouse are giv- en up to the officers training corps. ! saw them come In from drill to- day. four companies strong They were marching down Templeton street men of an sizes. widths, and years Nearly all. of course were in khakai, but a few were stin in civilian rig Tonight as l write ] hear the tramp, tramp of a regiment and saw mak- Ing Girtonward a corps of active men.
 At Jesus some of the officers are Quartered. and besides the porters lodge stands a most wonderful coliec- ton of piclSaxes and shoveis At Saius is the headquarters staff of the army.
 Jesus. Claire and the Hall are said to have suffered the most from the war on account of the number of men who have gone to the front It's a pretty serious matter for the dons, and stn more for the coaches. Men have seen perfectly secure income cut in half or disappear altogether almost overnight. One of the Jesus dons was telling me how another man who 'kept below him and the man above him had both been killed and how still another man from the same stair case had been seriously wounded. He also warned me that when dined in Hall tomorrow night should .get only meats and sweets. although pos sibly there might possible be soup, because that wouldn't cost much. And when told him that Trinity was still supplying at the High Table, soup fish. roast sweets and cheese. he al- most rose In revolt at such shameless extravaganza.
