Duke Peter has accompanied Nicholas Nicholaiovitch through all his cam paigns, and, While he has no great reputation as soldier, the Commands CT always consults his relative about all important moves on the checker board of war. The Grand Dukes Nicholas and Peter are the only off, spring of the late xGrand Duke Nicho- las. grandune1e Of the present Czar, who died in 1891. Their mother was a German, Princess Alexandra of Ol- denburg.

CONSOLIDATION OF
 NORTH AND SOUTH
 CHURCHES IMPENDING

The Likelihood of the North and South congregational churches of this city consoidating is now very strong as committees Of both churches will be appointed as result of resolutions adopted last night at meeting of the members of the North church
 Tha sense of these resolutions is that more effective work may be done through the consolidation and it was ordered that two committees of the North church confer with similar committees of the South church on de- tailed plans of union and report back to the church body for final action and ratification. Similar procedure will occur at the South church. which recently extended the invitation to unite after declining a similar invita- ton from the North church three years ago.

ROMANCE AND TRAGEDY
 IN WALSTNGHAM EANHILY HISTORY

Romance and tragedy are inter mingled in the history of the De Grey family. and especially in. the career of teh sixth Lord Walsingham,
 Thomas de Grey. who was born 72 years ago today, July 29, 1843. In the
 scientific world he is the greatest of authorities on entomology, and his collections. presented to the British sMuseam- some years ago, the the fin est Pe their kind in the world. In th7< domain of sport Lord Walsingham was long noted as a cricketer and as Ia famous shot,. and his record of ,970 grouse to his own gun in one day has never been equalled. The Baron has Etraveled over a large part of the
 globe, shooting game and collecting Insects, and some 40 years ago he
 made a shooting and collecting tour
 of California and Oregon. The title Iof Baron Wsalsingham. was conferred.
 upon the de Greys in 17S0, and most
 of the holders have been famous in
 Walsingham.. and his wife were burn
 ed to death in their London home in
 1881. The sixth Lord Walsh gham
 had a variegated matrimonial experi- ence, and took his third wife last lyear. His first bride was Augusta
 Selma Elizabeth Locke, daughter of
 a young Subaltern, Capt William Locke, spending his honeymoon in 
 Italy. His daughter, while still in her teens, became the bride of Lord Burg hershs and when he died she gave her
 hand to an Italian noble whom she
 afterward divorced She then became
 Lady Wa1singharn- Eventually she
 became an invalid, and employed as lnurse and companion Marion Gyvyth- ferne- Williams, a Welsh woman. Lord
 Walsingham became infatuated with
 the. fair nurse. and his affection was returned, with the result that she bore him two daughters. When Lady Walsingham died in 1906 the Baron
 immediately married the mother of
 his children but this did not serve to pIacate British society, which refused
 to receive the second Lady Walsing-
 ham, although no such ban was plac-
 ed upon her i11egitinate daughters.
 The second Lady Walsingham died in 1913, and about a year later the ven eFable scientist and sportsman took a hrd wife tin the person of a widow, Mrs. Dawson. k

American Movies
 Almost Exclusively
 Used Now in London

London, July 29-American film plays, depicting American life in pure 1y American settings, have largely "a monopoly on British moving picture theatres. A writer in one of the Lon don dailies complains that out of nine films in each show seven are likely to be Am erican. He concludes that while 8. number of excellent films have been put out by British compa- nies based on well known novels, the public prefers the American, and the proprietors find them cheaper
 One reason for the success of Amer ican films, it is pointed out, is econ ornic. While American films enter. Great Britain duty free, British films are taxed heavily not only in the Uni ted States but in Canada and Austra4 1ia- Having the monopoly Of an en- orm moUs home area by reasen of the protective traffic, the Americans are able to export cheaply and underselI the British on their own soil. British producers, moreover, pay heavy local taxes.
 British firms cannot afford to sell films at less than eight cents a foot, with a reasonable profit in view The Americans charge seven cents and could drop another cent without dis comfort. They could almost go down to the cost price of 8 1z cents a foot for the printed positives, since their local American sales alone pay large profits on the production of the orig inal negative. The most the British competitor can get in the states is six cents foot, and cut of this he must pay duties. which amount to three cents on negatives and one cent on positives.
 Great Britain imports 5000, 900 feet of American film annually. From one American 2,oOo foot negative, E120 copies were printed in England and sold at a profit of $8.750, ,oo0 and this is not an exceptional case.
 The hay atmosphere and short summer season of England are a nat uraI handicap in producing films. Most of the Arnerican n com panies produce in California, where light conditions are nearly perfect
 Apart from the artificial handicapaa it is doubtful whether British films could undermine the popularity of the American to any extent. Am eri- can plays are full of action, simply to understand, well staged and gen. orally, full of the kind of huraor that takes with the crowd. although French films are more popular with a certain element of picture goers who say French plots appeal more to the ma- ture intelligence. Italian films geD- orally run to tragedies and are slow and tiresorne in action. The Ameri- can comics stand alone in the affec- ton of the crowd, however, and the poster of a. certain eccentric Am nerican film comedian can be seen displayed in almost every picture house in Lon don.

THE MARsHlILLAIsE.


 The first time that the Marseillaise was heard in the streets of Paris was wRen 1t was sung by about 500 revo1u- tionists from Marseilles on July 2e, 1792, just 123 years ago today Owing to this circumstance the revolutionary hymn. which had been composed earl fer that year by a French officer Rouget de Lille, was irnm ediately dubbed The Marseillaise by which name it has ever since been known. It became the chief anthem of the revo- lution, and although sltbsequent mon archs of France sought to suppress it, the hymn survived and became the national anthem of France after the establishment of the third republic. It also attained great popularity among the anarchists, socialists and other rebels against the existing order In the present war The Marsetllaise is the battle hymn of the republic, and it has helped to inspire the soldiers of France with patriotic va1or and to deeds of daring. While the English troops found aHpperary' more sat- isfactory than God Save. the King the French national anthem has held it's own against all the warlike songs of present-day conn posers.

 " And Prolonged War"

Berlin. July 2s@The Protestant. church board in Germany has decid- ed that next Sunday shall be observed by divine services invoking aid for the national cause. The funds to be collected on this day are to be devoted to the succor of widows and orphans
 Bishop Takorurn. of Treves, this agency declares, has received an auto graph letter from Pope Benedict thanl1ing him for the Peter,s Pence contribution. In the letter the Pom tiff says he deeply regrets this bitter and prolonged war which has robbed the Holy Father of the possibility of maintaining personal relations with the best friends. The Pope closes his communication by sending the apos- tolic blessing to the bishop of the clergy and their nation, which, like all others. in these times, is pressed by the prolonged and deep-rooted sorrow at home.

Best Territorial
 Regiments Supply
 British subalterns

London, July 29.-It has been the general practice of the British army in. the present war to get it's supply of subaIterns from the best territorial regiments, which correspond to the crack state guard regiments of Amer .ica These regiments receive as re- cruits only young men of a certain standard of education and social po- ssition. The Honorable Artillery Com pany, which consists now of many companies and which sprang from the same historic organization as the Honorable Artillery Company of Bos- ton, Mass. is perhaps thes best known of these regiments in the United States. But no regiment contributes more young officers to t1se new and regular armies than the Artists Rifles which has won commissions for nearly 2, 2,eoo, of it's former privates.
 The Artists Rifles is composed of young professional men of various callings It's versatility is illustrated by an incident that happened in the early days of the war, when six elec- tricaI engineers restored electric lights had failed with serious conse- uuences. It was the Artists who con- verted dfsused stable at Bailleu1 into a. bath house for the men returning from the trenches.
 Soon after going to France. the reg iment was turned into training school for of1cers on the ground that its material was too valuable to waste in the ordinary way
 A man who enlists as a private in the Artists and afterwards obtains a commission from the training school in France, secures his seniority in the regular establishment, if he de- sires a permanent career in the army, from the date of his first commission. This training is remarkably thorough. as the men get all the life and the practical experience of prtvates with the technical training of officers.

POPE TELLS MISS ADDAMS
HE WILL AID PEACE MOVE
This Is Not opportune Time, She Is
Told-Goes to Madrid
From Rome.

ROME. June 9, $50 pm. via Paris,
June 10. a.m.--Jane Adams of Chi
cago, chairman cf the special committee
appointed by the women's peace confer
ence at The Hague to visit the capitals
of Europe in an effort to hasten the end
of hostiities. has left Rome for Madrid,
whence she will go to France and Bel
GUM. While here Miss Adams was re-
ceived courteously by Pope Benedict,
Cardinal Gasparri. papal secretary of
state; Premier Salandra and Foreign
Minister Sonnino
Although the ministers of the italian
government listened respectfully to her
peace propaganda, they gave her little
encouragement. She was received with
greater sympathy, however. at the Vaf-
can, where the Pope has labored to bring
about peace, but even there no secret
was made of the fact that the present
moment was considered scarcely oppor-
tune for such a movement as Miss
Addams has undertaken.
She was told by Pope Benedict that
he admires greatly the firmness and Sc
renity of President Wilson. His holiness
expressed the hope that the initiative for
peace would come from America and he
pledged himself to support such a pro-
posal with all the influence Of the holy
see.
