Simple Meals for Royal
Appetites During the War

is not fussy over his food. and, provid-
ing the dishes are good, will eat most of
the things set before him. On the other
hand, an imperial banquet is a magnifi-
cent affair with regard to food, wines,
plate and service generally.
The German Emperor, likewise, is
said to possess fine appetite, and even
after late dinner will be able to enjoy
a plate Of cold meat in his private apart
ments before retiring to rest. The Kaiser,
in the public eye, eats as far as possible
on a military plan like his own soldiers.
However. during this campaign. he is
generally followed by the latest thing In
field kitchens, so one may imagine he
does not subsist, like poor Hans, on
bread and sausage for days. When in
public, the Kaiser may be seen lunching
on the same fare as his men, accoms
panied by plenty Of lager beer.
Nevertheless, in the matter of enter
tanning his Teutonic Majesty can be very
lavish, and thoroughly keeps up the ma
tional character Of love Of good cheer.
The German court used to have a large
kitchen staff under the superintendent
Of four chefs-German. English, French
and Italian respectively. Each chef was
responsible for the famed dishes Of his
own country, for the Imperial cuisine
was never exclusively German, though
the national dishes frequently appeared
on the menus.

to be in London on state affairs at the
time, and when the news reached him
he rushed to Northumberland through
the night on a special train only to
find her unconscious, in which state she
remained for two days, when she died.
He gave it out that he never wished any
reference made to it and returned to
London, steeled against all the lights
and glamour of social life which would
now be unbearable without her. and
sought in the intensest application to
his duties distraction that should pre-
serve his poise and his sanity.

prove that Mors chloroformed any one,
and that is by the testimony Of an eye
witness who saw him in the act of adj
ministering the poison to a person. So
far We have found no such eyewitnesses,
and it appears as if no such witness will
be found. Mors' fellow-employees and
others have given circumstantial evil
dence, they have told of deaths under
suspicious circumstances, they have even
told of smelling the odor of chloroform
about Mors' person. but nothing that
they have said would be accepted by a
judge or jury as proof Of the fact that
a crime had been committed in the man
ner described by Mors.
No matter how weighty the corrob-
orative evidence so far obtained may be
with laymen it does not establish the
corpus deficit. And. from what I know
Of the investigation made in Westchester
so far, the corpus deficit will never, be
proved. This means, then, that Mors
may be telling the truth when he says
that he chloroformed five persons in
Westchester, and that nothing can ever

kingly fares are often very simple, and
that the royal appetite may become jaded
and cloyed by too much product of
French chefs and may long for substan-
tial, straightaway dishes.
Simple fare is quite the rule now both
at Buckingham Palace and at Sandring-
ham, and this will continue as long as
the war is on. Meals in the royal house
hold have never been so elaborate during
the present reign as they were in King
Edwards time. King George is not
nearly so much of an epicure as his
father was. He has to be exceedingly
careful what he eats, and he avoids rich
food both for preference and of neces-
sity, for he occasionally suffers from
gastritis.
Both the king and queen prefer boiled
fish, and meat cooked quite plainly, with
out an abundance of cunningly seasoned
sauces which delight the heart of a clever
French chef. A recent dinner menu at
the palace consisted mainly of boiled tur-
bot, dish Of outlets, fruit salad, and q
savoury. Champagne is rarely drank ex-
cept on special occasions, and when 1t is
the bottle is not placed in q silver holder

brand is removed.

seems doubtful if the law can have
vengeance on Frederic Mors. Three Of
the crimes, according to Mors, were COM
mitted in the Bronx, the old home Of the
institution, arsenic being the means used
TO remove the sufferers, and the remain
ing five in the new home near Yonkers,
in Westchester county. District Attorney
Weeks Of Westchester county, after in
vestigating the case and studying the law
and the evidence, gave this opinion:
I'm the first place, we have a man
confessing to number of murders, but
this confession cannot be accepted as
legal proof that any Of the alleged muir
ders have been committed. In all cases
of alleged crime, before any one can be
charged with the crime it must be estab-
lished in fact that the crime has actually
been committed. What is known as the
corpus deficit of the crime must be
proved beyond a shadow of a doubt, and
a confession Of the crime does not prove
that the crime has been committed.
I'm the case of Mors, then. we must
prove that the crimes to which he con-
fessed were committed. How can this
be done? BY exhuming the bodies and
proving by autopsy that death was not
produced by natural causes? We might
do this in some cases, but Mors has said
that he chloroformed the presons he
killed in Westchester. and the fact that
a person has been chloroformed cannot
be proven by an autopsy. Therefore, we
can establish nothing by exhuming the
bodies. MFRS may have given each of
his victims a quart of chlOroform. and
we couldn't prove it by an autopsy.
There is only one other way, then, to

studies in Vienna (although he never
obtained degree in incidence, hospi-
tails, clinics and morgues have had an
irresistible fascination for him. Where
ever he could gain admittance he was
wont to prowl around, watching the suf
ferers until he became obsessed with the
idea of putting out of their misery all
the hopelessly diseased and pain
tortured.
When he became a porter at the old
German Odd Fellows Home in the Bronx,
his opportunity neared. So trustworthy
was he as a porter that he was soon en-
trusted with the duties of an orderly and
given free access to the medicine room.
When the institution was recently moved
to its new home near Ionkers, Mors had
more and more opportunities to carry out
his now deep-rooted principles.
The superintendent Adam Bangert,
came more and more to rely on the faith

was nominally in charge of Amelia

Mors. She il was that filled his out

Bronx arsenic case is ten times stronger
than any of the Westchester cases, and
it is doubtful if even it can be made
strong enough to obtain a conviction"
Mrs. Suzanne Schweitzer, an aged in
mate Of the German Odd Fellows Home,
and Barbara Pabst, a fourteen-year-old
member Of the blue-clad company of Or
phans who live in the Yonkers institu-
ton, told and acted dramatic stories Of
the deaths Of Mrs. Katherine Piazzi and
Ferdinand Scholz for the Westchester
county officials who were seeking cor
roboration Of Frederic Mors' CHASTITY

In the same room wherein Mrs.
Piazzi died on November 8, 1914, Mrs.
Schweitzer, herself so feeble she had to
be supported, declared in a shrill, broken
voice that thirty minutes after she had
left Mrs. Piazzi, with whom she roomed,
she was called back to see her friend die
She insisted upon acting the parts that
she could not fifty describe. Sheriff
Weisendinger, Of Westchester county,
stretched out upon the narrow iron bed.
His hands were folded across his breast.

closed. Her face was bleached white.
Frederic MOrs was seated on the side

She tottered to the bedside, sat down
near Sheriff Weisendinger's breast and
grasped his wrist with her palsied fin
gers.
HE had his hand like this on her
wrist. His face was less than six inches
from hers. He looked at her eyes, her
throat, her mouth. He watched her like
a ferret. He could have felt her breath
