Hysler, for twenty years proprietor Of
the shop in the Hotel Manhattan. New

BALLOTS OF WOMEN
ARE EQUALLY DIVIDED

Chicago, Nov: s.-Although large
proportion of the women voters went
to the polls in every one of the twelve
states and in one territory in which
the franchise has been won, they do
not appear to have Influenced materi-
ally the election.
In 1llinois-the only state in which
separate ballots are kept for the
|sexes-the women and the men ex-
pressed the same preferences in much
the same proportions.
Washington women, however, were
attributed the credit for the probable
Wilson success III that state. There is
no certain test inasmuch as the ballots
are not separated, but political observ-
ers we're OF the opinion the Wilson
women were more numerous than the
men.
In Wyoming, the Oldest suffrage
state, the votes are not divided accord
ing to sex, but reports indicate the
women were divided along the same
general lines followed by the men.
Idaho, another pioneer suffrage state:
made the same report
In California, the trend of the wom-
an vote likewise has to be estimated
impressionistically In San Francisco
and the adjacent territory, however,
women were reputed to have been
more active for President Wilson than
were their husbands and brothers.

quoted as follows in the German press

stance, is said to hold nearly 100000
prisoners, whose care presents Sc

England and France. The charges Of
mistreatment of prisoners have engag-
ed the attention of neutral nations, the

have been permitted to inspect various

see with their own eyes and make re-
ports to the world at large.
n volume of impartial testimony to
the excellence Of arrangements made
for the we'll being of prisoners of war
interned in England is contained in a
series of reports made to the American
ambassador in London by members of
the embassy staff who have during the
last few months paid visits of inspec-
ton to various internment camps in
the United Kingdom. The reports were
issued recently as parliamentary pa
per, says the London Times.
The detailed reports. made after Wis
its to tWentythree camps, show how
thoroughly the visitors investigated the
conditions under which the prisoners
are living, and the verdict is highly
satisfactory. AS was to be expected,
they received various complaints from
some OF the interned officers and men,
out IN few cases did they find the
complaints of a serious character
where there appeared to them good
ground for criticism the cases were
taken up either with the war office or
the camp commandments, and the au-
thorlties showed a general disposition
TO remove the causes of complaint.
IN many instances the inspectors re-
cord improvements in camp conditions
since their previous visits, and in a
rev cases they suggest further i'm
pro7ementS. On the whole, however,
thelr reports are remarkably free from
criticism, and they pay repeated trib
utes to the excellence of the food. the
sanitary and hospital ARRANGEMENTS
and the facilities for work. exercise
and recreation.
Committees of Prisoners.
Most of the camps are largely rim
by committees chosen by the informed
men themselves, and in the larger

men, especially to the French, from
home. Many prefer to live on these
dainty consignments, which, however,
constitute cause of stomach and in
testinal Illnesses. Each prisoner is
allowed to send two letters and four
cards month.
The working conditions are favor
able. There is enough work in the
camp itself for a large portion Of the
prisoners. Scattered groups in charge
OF landsturm men leave in the morn
ing in order to find employment on the
various works of land reclamation and
do not return to the camp until even
ing. Ablebodied men who are not
thought likely to try to escape are also
employed individually by the farmers
and they enjoy great freedom. Those
who are not able to work or are able
to do only half a task are not quite so
fortunate. They are sometimes en-
ployed at light jobs around the camps
or, after sufficient training, put at Of
flee work. The hardest problem is the
finding of appropriate work for the COL
ored element. The Russians work
we'll on the land if they receive the
proper fodder while the French are
very handy at factory work.
Prevention of Disease.
"Great care is taken to prevent epi-
denies. Every new arrival is isolated
for four, sometimes six, weeks. There
he is thoroughly cleaned up and vac
clnated. At least one bath must be
taken every week, something which in
the case Of the Russians always seems
to be a great and uncommon event.
After this isolation the prisoners are
brought into the camp. In cases of bad
behavior change Of camps is an eff,
cacious means Of punishment. The
hospitals Of the prison camps are fitted
out according to the standard, and
some Of them are better than some
cantonal hospitals in Switzerland.
'"The officers prison camps are also
fitted out strictly according to military
regulations. Naturally in their case
the prisoners are obliged to remain in
the camps. Variety is afforded by lit
tie walks which they are allowed to
take couple Of times a week, accom-
panied by landsturm men. It is under
standable that an officer in captivity
suffers more mentally than a common
soldier. In the officers camps some
five or six officers are CHARTERED in
room. They drive tediun away By
means Of music, reading and games.
Some also have little flower gardens.
"Alcoholic beverages are delivered il
only moderate quantities. Neverthe.
less the Russians know how, by means
OF several Of them refraining from
drinking at all for a fixed number of
times in succession. to supply one an
other with good sized quantities Of al
cohol and with a little carouse."
Dr.. Preiswerk concluded that the re-
sponsible authorities did not villfully
neglect anything calculated to help the
prisoners.

- WASHINGTON, d. c.. Sept. 1.-The
loss of valuable diamond pin, be-

of Hawaii, has stirred up some excite
ment here. The local police have
hustled around to locate either the
possible thief or the fortunate finder,
but in vain Up 10 this time no trace
of the jewel has been found.
The first intimation that the prin-
cess had sustained loss came in the
way of request for the assistance OF
detectives A report was filed by DR..
Nathan Boyd on behalf of the print
cess. He announced that she had been
robbed of platinum bar pin three
and a half inches long. set with three
large pure white perfect diamonds and
several smaller stones, valued at
$4,000.
The robbery was not discovered by
the princess until two days ago, when
she was a guest at the West Carlton
hotel, New York city, on her way to
San Francisco to take a steamship for
Honolulu. The princess wrote her
maid in this city to get in touch with

which the princess said had taken
place some time since August 10, when
she had worn the jewel at a social
