MISTRESS dies; MAIDS
Dwell IN PARADISE"
Mrs. Van Bell Willed 100000 Man
sion to Servants Until They
Find Homes.

New York. July Is-Surrounded by lux
extravagant desire of a millionaire. a
dozen or more servants are occupying the
100000 Van Bell mansion, in Highland
avenue. Merion-on-the-Main Line
These servants are large beneficiaries
Of the will Of Mrs. Mary Van Bell. who
died last week. Before her death Mrs.
Van Bell expressed the desire that her
servants occupy her beautiful residence
until they found homes elsewhere.
Although dazed at first by the generous
requests made by Mrs. Van Bell. the
servants are becoming accustomed to the
wealthy feeling
Those who only a few years ago crept
humbly through the elegantly furnished
rooms of the mansion, Ticking specks of
dust here and there from furniture, now
stroll easily and confidently from room
to room. watching their reflections in
imported mirrors.
Kitchen maids, whose duty il was to
keep slverware polished until 1t shone
with the brightness of the sun, now, dur
ing leisure moments. recline In wicker
chairs on the porch. where Mrs. Van
Bell formerly entertained guests Of social
standing.
The entire estate has been transformed
into a servants paradise. To some of
the servants 1t all seems like a dream.
There isn't a servant living probably who
has not "day-dreamed"- about escaping
from the drudgery of servantdom anu
becoming the master or mistress Of q
grand house, but not one, even in his or
her most imaginative moments, ever be-
lieved that any such thing ever happened
outside one of Grimm's fairy tales.

play simply through vibration. She
reads the notes, but music to her is not
sound, but the CULVER of it sighing

And 1t is thus that she dances. The
music of the maxixe and the tango
comes to her through the vibrations of

her say she keeps more perfect time

DANIELS SILENT ON APGAR.
Will Not Discuss Report Regarding
Taking Over of Sayville Station.

Secretary of the Navy Daniels last

Charles E. Apgar. described as an
amateur wireless operator, at West
field. N. J., was largely responsible
for the taking over of the German
controlled station at Sayville, L. I.
That Apgar's Photographic records
of messages sent out from the Say
Vile station were not the chief source
of the government authorities in
forma ton as to what was going on at
the station was indicated here last
night, however. 1t was learned that
his records reached Washington only
yesterday, whereas the Sayville sta
ton was taken over by the Navy De-

made that Apgar's method of listen

IN WAR, WARNS HYDE
America Would Astonish World in
Event of Conflict with Germany.
Predicts Financier.

Paris, July 1s.-Mr James Hazen Hyde,
the financier, interviewed by a cores
pendent of the Matin on the action of
the United States in the event of war
with Germany, said:
Il believe we would astonish the world
If war broke out. OF course, our army
is small. but our navy ranks as third
in the world. And our immense popula-
ton. now more than 100, 900 600, could
furnish large contingents of troops quite
as quickly as Great Britain. The 10000
men of the regular army, as well as 100 :
COO Of the militia. could be transported
to Europe in very short time.
I'VE must not forget the tremendous
financial aid which America could give
the allies. for the government up to the
present, with view to maintaining strict
neutrality, has prevented the issue of
public loans for the allies in the United
States. Only certain banking firms have
hitherto bought French treasury bonds
1T is a mistake to suppose that in the
event Of war We could not continue to
supply munitions. The government owns
great arsenals, which are capable of q
greatly increased production. Our fac
tories, like yours would Immediately set
to work and there would soon be an
enormous output. I am absolutely con-
WINGED that the United States, with its
intense vitality and mechanical adapta-
bility. would astonish tire world, and
that it would render great services in
the construction of aeroplanes and sub
marines
Besides, as we have very few finan-
cial interests in Germany, we could not
only seouestrate the many German ships
in our ports but also the large funds
belonging to Germans in America.

BIG GAIN IN EXPORTS
OF MEDICAL GOODS
Owing to War Value of Shipments
from This Country Nearly
Doubles in Year.

America is being called on to help heal
the wounds of those now engaged in war.
Figures have now been compiled to show
that exports of medical supplies have
more than doubled in the last year.
Before the war, practically all medical
ments manufactured in America were
for home consumption, and large quanti-
ties were imported. Since the start of
the war. however. manufacturers have
seen their opportunity and the exports
have increased. There is still much room
for increase, and 1t is stated that foreign
governments would gladly buy in larger
quantities from the United States.
The following are the figures for the
export of medical appliances. based on
eleven months known and one month es-
timated:
