MUCH DEPRESSED
 ABOUT KING GEORGE
Accident to British Mon- arch Put Damper on
 Everything Social

London, December 6.-(Special) ] Everybody is greatly depressed about the King and as quiet as things are socially anyway the accident put a damper on what little activity there was. We are all breathing easier now, however with the earnest official state ments that his majesty is not perma- nently hurt. Getting the Prince Of Wales back from the front so hur- leave,' when he had just had leave, and published at the same time as the news of the Kings mishap-was re- sponsible for lot of, misgiving. There is good deal of pretty bitter criti- cism over the accident; it's said that someone ought to have seen to 1t that the Kings horse was in good condi- tion. The trouble Is, I'm told, that these cavalry chargers are not getting enough exercise these days and are naturally ;restive An old cavalryman tells me that in such circumstances the Kings. horse ought to have had long gallop before the King mounted at all. As it was the horse probably came fresh from the stables and maybe hadn't been ridden for sometime.
 It's all very unfortunate, but it has brought out some mighty fine quali- ties in the King, who has shown a wold of pluck. He'll get an enthusiastic demonstration when he Is able to get out into the streets. They say he isn't as popular a s his father.

 This little incident depicts a situation which is rather general in almost any place today. and it is not only absurd but ghastly and yet it certainly exists in a great many we'll regulated households, the utter dependence of the wife on the husband in the matter of money .-The wife who has become used tos being "beggar" when it comes to getting little Johnnie pair of skates, or a new pair of shoes for little Dot, rebels in her soul at the thought of asking her lord and mas ter for money wherewth to buy him a Christmas gift so what does she do?
 She begins to economize round about the holidays, to cut down expenses; to skimp along on the, ragged edgesof noth- ing. in order that she may -saveg a penny here and a penny there. on the food, and tile household expenses and thus have a little fund for "emergencies'
 Of all the hard earned gifts presented at this glad season of the year, few are more laboriously bought and paid for than the wifes gift to her husband

 ''When Molly begins to cut down to two vegetables for dinner I know she has begun to save up for Christmas presents he said whimsically.

Refused to Tell Where Body
 of Prince Max of Hesse Lies

London, December 5.-(Special.)-Ho
 a humble parish priest in tiny village of
 France has, in his patriotic zeal, almost defied his pope and has sent the German
 Emperor a message that will scarcely please him is a quaint story of war which comes from France, and which is the talk of the British army over there. A year and more ago the German army went smashing into France, sweeping all before it. In the lowands along the
 Franco-Belgian frontier they came upon
 Mont des Cats, a hill of considerable size
 for those parts, surmounted by Trappist monastery, comprising group of build ings which serves as landmark for miles
 and miles around. Mont des Cats is near the frontier and about 10 miles from
 Ypres.A The invaders swept on and into trance and there was fighting all the time. Many of the invading forces were Killed. Large numbers of wounded were
 taken into the monastery and cared for by the monks. of whom there were, 70 or more. The Germans left their wounded and went on. Then came the great Fran lco-British stand in France, during those
 memorable days of 1914, and presently the Germans Were driven back; They re- treated by Mont des Cats picking up
 their wounded, while the priests buried their dead The place now came into the
 hands of the British, and British wounded I'fliled the cots of the monks.
 In the turmoil of advance and retreat the Germans left behind them the dead body of Prince Max of Hesse nobleman of high degree and a close relative of the Kaiser. As soon as the armies had set
 ted themselves down steps were taken in Germany to recover the princes body. It was finally discovered that it had been
 buried by the cure of Flatre, parish
 priest of no importance to anyone in the
 world save the simple people of his own simple village.
 The German Emperor appealed to the Vatican in Rome, asking that steps he taken to procure the body of his relative Through papal channels word was sent to the prior of the Trappist Monastery at
 Mont des Cats, who, in turn, appealed to the parish priest. That devout French
 man.. who is the only one who knows
 where the body of the prince lies buried
 sent back word that as soon as the Ger
 man Emperor took his soldiers out of
 France and made reparation for all that
 they had done to that fair land he could
 have the body of his noble relative, but
 not before. And so the matter rests to-
 day.

A Queer Way to Learn

From the Washington Star.
 The children ip Turkey reoite their les sons all together in the old-fashioned school and if you could hear them, you would think that you had gone into won derland with Alice where things wouldn't come straight The little girls so to school in groups, and with them is always an old servant who carries all their books on what looks for all the world like small clothes tree. The boys go and come in.stwo long lines, attended by their teacher, They carry their own books and wear long trousers and fezes exactly like their fathers. Some of the tiny girls carry their own table and draw ing boards. In the gypsy village in Scu- tari the children learn their lessons by songs in the street. They stand in a circle with big girl in tue middle, and they get noisier and noisier the more interested they grow. These little gorls wear "shelvars.'' which look like little trousers gathered in at the ankle. 1 tried to take a picture of little, girl in an orange-colored pair and of a boy in a wrapper and fez, but they were fright ened and ran away crying.
