MOSCOW. Dec. 81 have given
some glimpse of the great hunger
in Russia as l have seen IL along
the voiga and beyond its banks.

he believed India would profit more

that even such Hindus as himself
attached to an official British dele

Objects to Treaty Clause.
India he declared. had objected to
that clause in the Anglo-Japanese
alliance in which provision is made
for the use of Japanese troops in
India in event of war. He declared
he could not imagine any trouble
as result of which Japanese troops
would be necessary, but at all events
India objected to japanese troops
being brought in under any con-

The interview, delivered in excel

members of the British delegation

OF FRENCH ORIGIN
UnbuckIed GaIoSheS Can Be
Traced to Historic Incident.
Battle Of Steinkirk, In 1892, Laid the
Foundation for the Present
Freakish Fashion.

How many Of the young ladies who
parade down Michigan boulevard with
unbuckled galoshes clanklng about
their ankles know where and how the
freakish fashion originated asks a
writer In the Chicago Journal.
In July, 1892, the French forces un-
der Marshal Luxembourg were camped
at Steinkirk, in what is now Belgium;
while six miles away lay the allied
troops under William III. Of England.
The two armies were too evenly bal
anced for either to attack unless 1t
could secure some special advantage;
and the French commander was kept
informed Of every allied move by a
spy who was chief secretary to one OF
the German princes in the allied ranks.
This mans treason was discovered, a
pistol was put to his head, and he was
compelled to write and forward let
ter which was a trap. 1t told that
the allies meant to send out foraging
party the next morning, and to guard
this, would occupy the ground be
tween the two armies with strong de-
tachments of infantry.
With this letter preparing the way
for a surprise, a general assault was
was planned, and came near being sue
cessful The allied troops, a British
brigade leading, almost reached the
French lines before the trick was dis
covered. The French advance guard
was smashed and routed. The Swiss
mercenaries In the French service were
beaten. But then the household troops
of Louis XIV. entered the fray, led by
young mobiles and princes Of the blood,
and after terrific struggle the Eng
lish and their allies were driven back.
At that time, the French noble in
military service was as much dandy
as a soldier. He wore lace collar and
cuffs, as costly as his parents could
afford. and arranged with the most
foppish care. But with the English
| column smashing its way into camp,
/ there was no time for such fine work I;
| the heroic handles charged with col
| lars loose and cravats united; and
Paris seized on this disarray and
made a fashion of it to commemorate
the victory. The name Of "Steinkirk"
was given to adornments worn askew
or left Tapping.
At irregular intervals since then, the
Steinkirk fashion comes back. Gloves
ties, blouses, ali have been worn with
elaborate carelesSness which probably
is meant to signify that the wearer has
plenty more, and would not mind los
ing this one. But never, surely, did
the fad take an uglier form than in its
present aspect Of .unbuckled galoshes,

It Is the ex-kaiser's own defense To

crossed into Holland. That was in No.

been quotations direct and indirect,
but the authenticity Of none of these
has Withstood close scrutiny. All in

The ex-kaiser has yielded to the
pressure that he say something. And
then in the darkest hour, with the en-
