 Far from Happy
(Continued from Page One>

For a moment the princess strug- gled with herself and then, no long CT able to master the emotion which repeatedly throughout the interview threatened to overwhelm her, she arose and joined her hands high above her head. Gazing upward at the ceil- ing with an air of despair she burst into tears.
 HystericalIy Flays Slanderers.
 Then amidst convulsive sobs she ex- claimed:
 "so that is the latest lie! I sup pose they want to make me out a vain, ambitious creature. What is it you call it in the United States? Oh, A crown of thorns perhaps! They have already poisoned my wedding. They have given me a foretaste of hell upon earth"
 Asked whom she meant by they the princess gradually calmed down and explained.
 1T mean those who, for selfish or sick1y sentimental reasons are op- posed to our marriage. They have tried to prevent it by every con- foul islander and diabolical intrigues. And, mind you-such towards are they, that they did not dare to utter a peep in the presence of the kaiser, but took out all their wrath and ven- om upon me.
 ''Yes, among those who fought and humiliated me are some of the kais- CTS own relatives, but they are not the worst. They are fighting and have been doing so more or less in the open.
 Berates the "Schemers."
 'Chief opposition has come from schemers who felt that they would be cheated of their spells or feared for their jobs.''
 Princess Hermine's lips frightened her eyes flashed hatred while she doubled up her jewe!led hands into two small but angry little fists.
 '"The worst of all-the meanest of aIl-are the Camarilla," she snapped between cIenched teeth. Listen ,''-
 She leaned forward tensely. her eyes hard and penetrating-'th kaiser to- day is just as much isolated as he was throughout his reign in Germany. He is isolated by a cordon of cour- tesans who fawn upon him and play their own game all the time. They do not really serve him. They never tell their real opinion except behind his back"
 She said precautions have been taken by the local and Dutch gendar- merle for the protection of the kaiser's castle and all the principals and guests until the wedding ce!ebra- tion is over.
 A large number of curious persons have come to Doorn in hope of get ting a glimpse of the one time kaiser and his new wife.

Robinson Explains.

Apologizing for the small number of people who have turned out to the rallies, Mr. Robinson said: People nave their minds made up as to what lever they are going to pull and what tlcket they are going to vote for. They nave come to their conclusion from what they have read in the papers and. that is why they do not take any in terest in rallies which are heId.''
 It was further admitted that a num- Der of aldermen, whose records in the common Council have not been any too good and who have bucked the Republican machine will be defeated and if they do succeed in being elect ed It will be by the skin of their teeth 1lguTat1Vely speaking.

I told him I was not park ing it, and was going to enter imme- dfately and drive off. which started to do. Before I could move off. the officer followed me up and with abu- sive and argumentative language OF sort prohibited by police regula- tfons, and such as should not be tor erated by any citizen. indicates to him that I was 8 Commissioner of the Police Department and ordered him back to his post. which order, after some further argument and grumbling, he obeyed."

 When the committee learned that the candidates and their workers had been tireless in the.r efforts to win the great honor. the executives came out with the statement that the com mittee would donate $5,00O if the city would contribute $1.700 to make up the difference on the $3,200 taken in on the election and $5,000. making it d ffty-fifty proposition.
 Don't DisSappOint Her.
 Miss Rogan will be greatly dissap- pointed if her natal city goes back on her and fails to make good. We are sure she will be pleasantly sur prised at the generous way the city will support her before it is time to sail away on the big adventure. Miss Rogan, if she goes, will bring back much information to give to the peo- pie here regarding the true conditions in France.
 Don't wait to be asked for contribu- tions. Send donations to The Times or the Good Will Teller of the First National Bank of Bridgeport.

NOMINATIONS FOR
 PARLIAMENT IN

London, Nov 4-(By the A. P.)- All nominations for seats in the Brit ish parliament must be in the hands of responsible officials by noon to- day.
 At breakfast time this morning everyone was still wondering if Lloyd George was really going to, release his host of reserves and by eleventh hour nominations finally fulfill his threat to spread the war against the Con- servatives who overthrow him. So far ,370 candidates have been nom- mated and of these only ITO are listed as National Liberals under the banner of Lloyd George, while the Conser- vatives, generally called Unionists, are next with 41O and the Independent Liberals led by former Premier As quith have 325 candidates on their slate
 Political gossips in the morning pa- pers are almost una aaimously in as serting that Lloyd George resolved last night to turn loose his reserves and put up additional candidates this morning, notwithstanding earlier in dications that such a project had been abandoned. Unless these political writers are all off the track, the little Welshman will put up about 30 new men, bringing his total of candidates around the 200 mark In this matter Lloyd George is said by the gossips pressure from his followers, and he had just about determined not to spread the war.
 What Lloyd George is going to do or is not going to do cannot be said to he an all expressing topic in political ranks today. For the moment the topic of greatest consideration is the welding together of the Liberal groups of Manchester, where the National and Independent Liberals decided last night to abandon their mutual opposition and stand together as united Liberals against the candidatt of the other parties,

 While the city, fortunately, has in the past escaped any serious compli cations in the charters present state, there lies the chance for regrettable consequences and I thorougly believe revision would be a gooo dthings revision would be a good thing'
