The foregoing is of interest part1c- ularly because of a story from Rome Rome recently copied in this country to the effect that one of these lllegl- innate sons of the late Milan, had been proclaimed king of Serbia at Belgrade by the Austrian and German authorities The Vienna correspond ence appears to dispose Of that re- port from Rome, for the other of the Christich brothers was recently re- ported by a London newspaper to be in London, employed as a ladies' tail- or in a large department store at salary of $15 a week. In January of last year he applied to Sir Thomas Ilpton for passage to Serbia on board the yacht Erin, saving he was desr GUS to fight for his country, but Sir Thomas refused his request and so far as known he is still in England.
 King Milan was ruler of Serbia from 1882 to 1889. His only illegiti- mate son was Alexander, who, with his Queen Draga, was assa ssinated in 1903, but stories of MiIan's irregular offspring by Artem eso Christich, who vas the wife of the private secretary of King Milan, and who was the cause of Queen Natalies divorce from her husband, have been given full cred ence. There has, however, always been considerable mystery about the subsequent career of these two sons, not known from the des- patches which of them is in Lon don and which in Vienna, but it seems apparent that neither of them have leen proclaimed king of Serbia by the occupying forces of Teutons at Bel grade.

CenSor'S Museum in London Con-
 tains Many Curious Exhibits

Correspondence of the Asso Press.)
 London, July 26.-The most inter- estlng museum in London is not open to the general public. It is the mu- scum of the censor and contains a collection of most curious exhibits been made to evade the British naval blockade since the outbreak of the var.
 Most of these exhibits come from the United States where thousands of people of German extraction have despatched all sorts of useful things to friends and relatives in the father land. Many of the exhibits indicate the pains and ingenuity of the send CTS; in some instances they made a pound of lard look like a copy of the morning paper or a packet of pure rubber like bundle of narcissus hulbs
 A side of bacon weighing forty pounds is mute evidence of the at- tempt made by a St. Louis man to as- suage the hunger of some friends or relatives in what was undoubtedly his former home town. Tn his anxiety to get the bacon to Germany this man sent it by first class mail and at- tached stamps to the bacon itself to the value of nearly $5.
 There are many other instances in which the stamps on the packages by far exceed the value of the con- tents. Many parcels have duplicate covers. They are addressed to some nyoo -l1 ness it is to pull off one cover and re- post them to the German or Austrian address revealed below.
 An enterprising Buffalo man sent a large number of letters each con- taining a sheet of pure rubber. Rub Der has been a scarce commodity in Germany for more than a year and efforts have repeatedly been made to get through the blockade all sorts of these articles Once in Germany the rubber would be sent to a central de- pot where it ultimately would have emerged as rubber tires.
 This censOr's museum contains huge bundles of newspapers or what appeared at first glance to be news Tapers Closer inspection reveals that the neatly rolled ends are but cleverly made plugs of paper and wood. When one of these plugs is pulled out there is uncovered a long sausage shaped bag of calico con- taining anything from sliced ham to Para rubber, from rice to tobacco
 Two iron crosses are not the least interesting of the exhibits. They are the original article and were being sent from Germany to a child in the United States. The consigner was maker of the crosses, the head of the firm that supplies them to the Ger man government and in an accom- panying letter he suggests that the re- CipientS wear them
 Shoes are the most numerous of the exhibits and most of these come from the United States
 In several cases they are wrapped carefully in a piece of best sole leather.
 All these things, neatly laid out and ticketed, are merely samples of large contraband cargoes that have found their way into the hands of the British authorities. They are not Conf1scated but will some day get to their proper destinations, only at present the British government has 'interned' them

KING MILAN'S SON
 WAITING ON TABLE
Is Discovered Performing Menial
 Labor on Dining Car

(CorrespOndence of the AssO. Press.)
 Vienna, July 22.-One of the ille- gitimate sons of the late King Milan Of Serbia, known as the Christich brothers, who have been pretenders to the Serbian throne, is now waiter in a dining car running between Vii enna and Budapest, according to an alleged discovery of a newspaper man who formerly knew the Christich brothers.
 When King Milan died he en- trusted one of these boys, whose mother was the beautiful Arten1 esia, to his lifelong friend, Count Eugen zichy of Budapest. The latter for years treated him as an own son, sup piled him plentifully with all mate rial things-and then died without re- r1embering him in his will or without making any provision for him. Thus falling suddenly from comparative affluence to poverty, the man dropped out of sight completely. His present who was making a trip from Buda- rest to Vienna, and who knew the Christich brothers in the old days when Count zichy was alive, was sur rrised to find that the waiter who served him so noiselessly and compe- tently was no other than one of these Christich boys. The latter told him with some reluctance that he had tried to make a living in one of the state ministries but had failed be- cause he possessed no qualification; had tried the stage but had been ruled off by the police because he had billed himself as a prince; and final ly had turned to waiting on table, be- Cause he knew of nothing else he could do efficiently.

STARTS
TRADE SCHOOL
AT KAIULANI

Honolulu's first trade school, to be
conducted along lines similar 20 those
proposed by the local Y. NJ. G. A,
has been opened.
The school, or shop, was established
few days ago in connection with the
Kaiulani school in Palama by Ken c.
Bryan, vocational instructor for Oahu.
Boys who have been forced ~ ahan-
don school for various seasens. and
who have desire to take up manual
training, will be admitted, and MIR.
Bryan says the school doubtless will
be self-supporting within q short time.
Those boys who enroll may spend
all or a part of their time at the
school. Carpenter work and practical
plumbing will be taught and, as the
boys become proficient in their work,
they will be paid. The school already
has large number of orders for
chairs, tables and other articles of
furniture.
An endeavor will be made to sell all
of the articles manufactured at the
school and Mr.. Bryan expects that.
in time, some o. the boys will be
earning as high as $40 month. The
boys who actually make salable ar
ticles will be given percentage of
the proceeds. the rest to be devoted TO
the upkeep of the school.

The Second:

of State Lansing the latest draft of the agreement

On top of these evidences of almost irrecon-
ciable attitudes, there is the news this morn

cepted the latest note from Berlin. The rea-
son is vaguely said to be that Mr. Lansing
wishes to learn whether the announced cam
paign against armed merchantmen will violate
the professions in Berlin s notes to America.
The ar-Bulletin has already commented
that it would be hollow diplomatic victory
for the administration to conclude an agree
ment with Germany the terms of which are
virtually dictated from Berlin. That this will
be the general opinion in the United States
there can be no doubt. Furthermore, the i'm
preston is constantly growing that Berlin is
trying to strike at the British blockade through
American diplomatic channels. If this belief
Is correct Germany's long diplomatic maneuv
ering has had as its prime object not to evade
disavowal Of the Lusitania sinking, but to get
the United States into controversy with
Great Britain over the commercial issues of the
blockade. In, justifying her submarine warfare
as reprisal against the British blockade, Ger
many probably foresaw correctly that in the
United States there would arise cry that
while we were protesting to Germany we should
also protest to Great Britain. And this is what
IS occurring.
Now there is no question as to the technical
justice of the American protest against a
half blockade which violates our commercial
rights. But to trade an agreement with Ger
many for protest to Great Britain does not
st all represent American opinion of proper
procedure, particularly as the first controversy

second controversy the rights merely of com
