Princess Mary Cuts Expenses
In Running Her New Home

Palace at salaries respectively of e400
and goo year. There are six kitch-
enmaids, all previously engaged in the
royal service. The same system OF
kitchen accounting as prevails at Buck
ingham Palace prevails now at Chester
field House.
The system, roughly speaking. is as
follows:
The chief chef orders everything re-
quired for the table of his employers.
The servants receive board wages and
provide their own food. Everything
delivered by the tradesmen to Chester
field House is accompanied by an in
voice which is checked by the clerk of
the kitchens. When anything is or
dered by weight, he checks the weight
and then writes up the amount Of the
order in the tradesmen's account in his
books. The accounts are inspected by
Princess Mary once month. They
are paid once quarter BY Lord Las
celles's secretary The clerk Of the
kitchens keeps a daily regulated scale
of food prices taken from three of the
leading London daily papers and the
tradesmen's charges for any COM
modify must not exceed by more than
2 per cent the lowest quoted retail
prices.
The household consists of Lord
Lascelles, the Princess, their seers-
taries and twenty-five servants. The
Princess, having dropped her royal
rank, has no lady y-in-waiting. The
housekceper at Chesterfield House is,
like many of the other servants, an

peruse the housekeeping accounts of
Princess Mary, Viscountess Lascelles.
The Princess has taken full charge of
the management of Chesterfield House,
Lord Lascelles's town home, and oper-
ates it at an average cost for food of
27 shillings, or about s575, person a
week. This, by the LAY, is some so
cents less than is spent at Bucking-
ham Palace.
During the coming autumn season the
result of the Princess's work as an
"organizing housekeeper," as the late
King used to call the Princess's
mother, will be seen to better effect
than it was during the last season,
when the Princess had hardly COM
pleted the arrangements she had in
hand for the running of her new home.
Before his marriage Lord Lascelles
had small bachelor household at
Chesterfield House. He only used five
rooms IN the spacious mansion and
employed but six servants.
He has placed the reorganization of
his household necessitated by his mar
riage unreservedly in the hands o. his
wife. There is not detail in the
management oe household that the
Princess has not learned thoroughly
from her mother. AS girl of seven
teen she used to pay regular visits to
the kitchens at Windsor Castle and
Buckingham Palace with Queen Mary
and mastered in her early youth every
thing there was to be learned about
kitchen management. "rhe basis Of all

~ 1GNIFICANT indeed are the
- signs Of the times when the most
X resolute of Junkers and most
loyal Of Monarchists seriously
and publicly discuss the question Of
Wilhelm Won Hohenzollern's sanity
For many years, indeed ever since
early in his reign, opponents have I'M
pugned his sanity. They have recalled
the acknowledged strain Of insanity
which showed itself in former genera
tions Of his family, and have also
stressed the we'll known fact that for
nearly all his life he has suffered from
chronic and most severe Affection Of
the ear, which might readily involve a
lesion Of the brain. But now it is not
his foes but his friends who are say
ing these things.
The most sensational Of such utter
ances appears in that stanchest Of
Monarchist papers, the "Berliner
Staatsbuerger Zeitung," which gives
conspicuous place to communication
obviously from an important and au-
thoritative source. In part it follows:
"A mere layman is generally quite
incapable of detecting any mental de-
rangement, or, if he does perceive 1t,

lille Mustapha Kemal was
Nv making his preparations for
w the spectacular drive on
Smyrna which he had car
,;ea out with such signal success In
,he course of the last few weeks his old
,.vaI and enemy, Enver Pasha, sue
ceedcd in bringing himself once more
INFO prominence in the Moslem world
and outside of it by new exploits IN
Central Asia. 1t is very curious how
the names of those two Turkish lead
ers dominate the situation in the Near
East. SO far as the Mahometan move
ments there are concerned, always IN
more or less direct juxtaposition as to
aims and ambitions,
Last year there was persistent but
false rumor Of Enver's assassination
in the Caucasus. At that time the for
mer commander in chief of all the
armed forces of Turkey during the
world War were busy plotting for the
overthrow of Kemal in an attempt to
seizc the latters position at Angora.
With the connivance of the more ex-
treme elements in the Soviet govern
ment. and particularly in the Third In
ternational, Enver, that adventurer Of
adyenturers and arch-plotter among
pyotters, had established his headauar-
ters in the tiny district Of Adjaria, in
Transcaucasia, and set about to draw
.xav from Kemal the more extreme of
she elements surrounding the Angora
chief.
He failed in that enterprise COM
pletely, principally because the Mos
COW leaders, anxious to preserve, for
the time being, outwardly amicable re-
lations with the Angora chief, would
not give Enver open and adequate sup
mort. There is reason to believe, even,
that after Moscow saw the meagerness
of Enyers success and after Kemal
protested vigorously against his rivals
activities on Soviet territory as con-
trary to the spirit and the letter of his
treaties with Soviet Russia, the Soviet
leaders ordered Enver to desist from
his plans.
But Enver is too restless and too
adventurous spirit to remain in idle
ness, and the Moscow leaders realized
that work had to be found for him. BY
that time rather interesting situation
developed in Turkestaa and other parts
Of Russian Central Asia. During the
World War large numbers of Turkish
prisoners of war had been sent to ST.
IBERIA, and thousands of them remained
there after the war. Many of them
gradually drifted toward Turkestan,
and Enver was sent to Central Asia to
organize these former prisoners Of war.
Enver Found Capital Of
Turkestan in a Turmoil
Upon his arrival in Tashkent, the
capital of Turkestan, in the spring of
the present year, Enver found the stu
alton there in considerable turmoil.
Disaffection and fermentation among
the Mahometan elements Of the pop
ulation, which are in large preponder-
ance there, were running very high.
This was especially true of the province
Of Turkestan known as Ferghana,
which occupies the eastern part of the
territory, bordering on Chinese Turke-

Empress found the courage, when he
was about driving to the station, to
threaten that she would visit him in
his bachelor abode. William then for
several months abandoned this habit,
and this was fortunate because con-
spiracy threatened to break out among
the d6mestics, who did not care to
sleep so often in their clothes. They
threatened to inform members of the
Left in the Reichstag about his maj
esty's wandering and tell them that the
entire railway traffic was much de-
ranged when his majesty passed the
night in the station.

In this respect the situation in Box

dener. Yet this man suffered from the
fixed idea of having had intimate re-
lations with some lady. Before he was
judged insane he was repeatedly beaten
by outraged fathers and husbands, and
suffered numberless lawsuits for in
suit. That the violent insane are dan
gerous to the community needs no de
tailed explanation. Many patients need
only temporary care Of the asylum.
Form of Mania Suffered
BY the Former Kaiser
"The ex-Kaiser suffers from psyche
pathic vagans," or travelling mania. An
internal unrest urged him to lead
vagrant life. Men afflicted with this
disease are not capable of performing
their duties in regulated work. Had
William been born as laborer he
might have perished as tramp. AS
member of the middle class he could
have become, under certain circum-
stances, capable commercial trav-
eler. His abnormality became danger
GUS for the community only through
the circumstance that in accordance
with tradition and usage he had to
adopt the calling of his father and lead
the destinies Of a people of 60,0o0,o00,
which he was not able at all to do.
That the thing went wrong was really
not his fault, but the fault Of the mo-
narchical German constitution, which
does not intrust the direction Of the
Reich to the most capable but to the
man designated by birth.
"When the ex-Kaiser fed to Holland

According to the stories brought out
of Central Asia during the past few
months, it appears that soon after his
appearance in Tashkent, Enver suc-
| ceeded in bringing together several
thousand of the former Turkish pris-
oners of war With the money and
equipment supplied by the Soviet gov
ernment, he organized these forces and
proceeded to gather around him all the
important Mahometan elements in
Turkestan. About this time, Envers
old friend, Djemal Pasha, came into
Central Asia on mission from the
Soviet government to Afghanistan.
Djemal had been prominent member
of the Young Turk group before the
World War, while during the war ne
was Minister of the Navy and had
served under Enver as the commander
in-chief Of the Turkish forces in Syria,
Palestine and Western Arabia A
meeting took place between the two
friends, and an arrangement was made
whereby Enver received a part of the
arms and munitions which were des-
tined for Afghanistan and in connec-
tion with which Djemal himself had
been sent to Central Asia.
trusted Enver. While they permitted
him to carry on single -handedly the or
ganization of the forces which he was
bringing into existence, they insisted
on introducing in Tashkent and in the
other large cities of Turkestan the
whole paraphernalia of the Soviet rule,
particularly in the form of revolution
ary tribunals and the extraordinary
commi ssion, known the Cheka.
BY the beginning of May Enver had
practically completed his military task,
and then suddenly, about the middle of
that month, he turned on the Soviets.
His troops disarmed and arrested the
agent of the Cheka and the Soviet
officials, after which he seized the gov
ernment, proclaimed the independence
of Turkestan and announced himself as
ated Independent state.
Red Troops Meet Sturdy
Resistance at the Frontier
The Soviets Immediately ordered
Red troops stationed in portions of ST.
IBERIA adjacent to Turkestan to march
to Tashkent. Enver, however, had
made his preparations, and when the
s7th Red Division arrived in Turke-
stan it was met with vigorous resist
ance.
In the mean time Enver entered into
negotiations with. the discontented ele-
ments of Bokhara, and by the begin
ring Of June reached an understanding
with them regarding close military CO.
operation against the Soviets.
Up to 1920 Bokhara was not touched
to any extent by what had taken place
in the rest of Russia. It's government
still remained in the hands of it's Amir,
who had been practically an absolute
monarch under the Russian protector
ate. But in 1920 the Bolsheviki from
Turkestan overran the country. Prior
to their appearance secret groups had
been organized in Bokhara to work for
the overthrow of the Amir's govern
ment, and the appearance of assistance
from the north served as a signal for
an uprising Of these groups. The Amir

been fully established in Bokhara. An
agreement has been signed with Mos

March, 1921, and permitting the Box
nara merchants to engage freely in
trade with various parts of Russia,
without the intermediary of the Com
missariat Of Foreign Trade. Finally.
the constitution is being revised with
the view Of giving wider representation
in the affairs of government to the

have been introduced in Turkestan and
in Khiva.
Amirs Lands Retained
BY Leaders of Regime
The group in control of Bokhara was
also ordered from Moscow to begin i'm
mediately dividing among the poorer
elements of the populations the lands
that had formerly belonged to the Amir.
Through the two years existence OF
the new regime its leaders retained
for their own benefit the use of the
lands now being divided Finally
and this is the most interesting part
OF 1t all--the Praesidium of the ALL
Russian Central Executive Committee,
IN solemn resolution, proclaimed its
decision to send to Bokhara. as Rus
sia's gift to the people of that country,
four fully equipped factores-a textile
mill, paper factory, tannery and a
soap factory. Not only the machinery
and other necessary equipment for
these factories are promised the people
of Bokhara, but also a complete techni-
cal personnel for the running of the
enterprises
Whether it is possible for the Soviet
government to carry out this promise,
in view of the general industrial and
transportation situation in Russia. is
different story. But in the mean
time the Bokhara representative in
Moscow has an excellept opportunity to
declare to the world that this promise
is the best possible proof of the faIsity

government and its agents are robbing

haste after the Enver movement as
sumed really menacing proportions.
Carl Radek, who is undoubtedly the
best Informed Soviet publicist writing
on international affairs, in an article
in the Moscow "Izvestiya" for July 27.
gives the following frank and graphic
picture of the causes that had made
IL possible for Enver to raise the
standard of open rebellion:
"When the revolution demanded
from the Moslems of central Asia the
necessary sacrifices; when it became
indispensable, because of the grievous
consequences for the Moslem masses
Of the intervention and the blockade.
, to ask the Mahometans there to strain
thclr utmost powers, and when discon-
tent, caused by these necessary sacri-
fees, had accumulated sufficiently and
mad been amply utilized by the Bas
mach bands, Enver Pasha entered their
ranks and raised arms, not only
against Soviet Russia but against tho
whole movement for the liberation of
the Moslem nations"
In all their agitation. bv means of
which they have attempted to coun-
teract the psychological effect Of the
Enver revolt, the Soviet agents have
been emphasizing this last point made
by Radek. The Enver movement has
been repeatedly styled as a definite
shattering of the united Moslem front
which the Russian Communists have
been striving hard for the last three
years to create in order to pave the
way for possible holy war against
the powers of western Europe Ajemal
Pasha, shortly before he was assas-
sinated in Tifis by an Armenian Ma
tionalist last July, pronounced himself
entirely out of sympathy with Enver
precisely on that ground. For the
whole possibility of holy war be-
comes rather ludicrous with the Amir
of Afghanistan backing Enver against
the Soviets and, presumably, against
Kemal, while the Soviets are backing
kemal against the powers of western
Europe, and yet advise him to make
peace with these powers if he should
find that to his advantage.
In his statement on the Enver
movement in central Asia, Djemal
Pasha deplored particularly the fact
that the Amir of Afghanistan is OBJ
viously in sympathy with Enver. In
his opinion this fact can have only one
explanation, viz, that the British di-
plomacy in the Middle East has been
eminently successful along the lines
of turning the ruler of Afghanistan
away from the Pan-Islamist aims,
which the Russian Communists had
tried so strenuously and so expensive
ly to incY!cate in him,
At the same time Djemal expressed
his complete satisfaction over the fact
that the Soviet government had seen
fit to order its representatives in
Bokhara to introduce number of far
| reaching reforms, or, as he put it, "to
