BRITISH PUBLIC
 TAKE UP HOTEL
 LIFE SINCE WAR
Old Fashioned Home Life Suffering As New Gus
 toms Are Adopted.

London, Dec 6.-Hotel life of Lon don is undergoing an important change which is proving disastrous to old fashioned houses. This is an evolution in the management of. the midd1e-cIass hotels. The last decade saw the introduction of fashionable restaurants as the most conspicuous and profitable feature of the high priced hotels. In the old days din- ing in public was a continental cus- tom; British people of the upper class sought privacy and retirement. When men were dining out they sought their clubs, or small restaurants, and ladies did not dine at hotels or res ta uranus often except when travelling. The big restaurants with music and evening dress were the resort only of the ultra gay set
 The new hotel life which is fast coming into vogue means the large and brilliantly lighted hotels, with music and crowds, for the middle classes. In some details these hotels are patterned on American lines, but in some respects they go beyond A American customs Extras were tlAe handicap to hotel patrons of the old CT days. What are now termed in- cIusjve'' rates were hardly known. Charges for rooms were reasonable, but when to those charges were ad- ded separate items for bath, fires, lights and attendance, stopping at a middle class hotel became more ex- pensive than in American cities. Two dollars, or two dollars and "a half, per day were the standard rates for the room alone. without the tariff of extras
 The ultra modern landlords have discovered that the public wants to know the round sum that a days en- tertainment will cost. ConseQuent- ly the t'inclusive'' rate. This charge in the popular houses now covers bedroom, bath, and breakfast, well as the lights and fires. Some of the largest houses provide this scale of en- tertainment for a dollar and g. half to two dollars. All of those houses are developments of the past three or four years They make particular l appeal to English people from the country and provincial cities, and the people of the middle class with small incomes but of good station in life are the ones who respond.
 Provincia1s and army officers stay ling in London crowd these places, and more hotels of the same type are cer- tain to appear. Meantime the big, dreary old fashioned houses are near ly empty. Some are closing. One o1 the most famous in England has rent ed about half it's floor space to the government for offices. Others prob ably will pass into the hands of the new companies.

Holland Escapes War But Prepares

The Hague,N Netherlands, Jan. G. The fears, early in the war. that Ho1- land would, be drawn into it sooner or later have been gradually al1ay- ed and now practically nothing is heard of such a probability, but pre- paredness for any eventua1ity con tinues to be popular policy.

The headQuar- ters of the society, which have been in an inadequate building near the United States legation here, are to be moved to a. large mansion on Prinses- segracht, the former home of an old Dutch aristocratic family which is a gift to the Red Cross from four veal thy residents.
