former Judge advocate, was required
BY navy regulations to visit Mrs.

LONDON. Nov. 19.-AII England
was stunned BY the news of the
death of Queen Alexandra, which
cast a pail OF gloom over the en-
tire country.

had been lead to believe that she
was improving in her health.

Alexandra. the daughter OF King
Christian the Ninth Of Denmark,
was brought up in simple man
ner and knew but little OF the
pornp and ceremonial OF the courts
of Europe.
Prince Edward visited Denmark
and Immediately fell in love with
this girl of marked beauty and
romance eliminated in one OF the
most popular royal marriages
England has ever known. Whether
the marriage was happy one,
the present generation Is unlikely
to know, though there were rumors
| that it was not, but certainly Prince
Edward ~and his bride were amaz-
| ingly popular In society and Alex
a nd IN PhfI6TA0.
II there was unhappiness in the
marriage ii was due to the fact
that Prince Edward was not a
domestic type.
The official life of the Princess
! Alexandra was said to be none too
happy, for 1t is said that Queen
Victoria rather resented the beauty
of her daughter-in-law.
Great Social Leader
With the accession Of Prince Ed
ward to the throne, Queen Alex
andra became the greatest social
leader in Europe.
In the midst of her triumphs,
the Queen became afflicted with
deafness, despite the efforts of Eu-
/ ropes greatest physicians, and it
was noted that the king was in
frequently seen in the company Of
+ the queen except on state occasions.
She sought the consolation OF her
grandchildren and the present
Prince of Wales was, her great
favorite and almost constant com
panion.
The queen devoted her energies
to charity and organized England s

Rose Day''-when roses were sold
for the benefit of hospitals. On
this day each year Queen Alexan-
| dra rode through the streets OF
London in an open lbarouche,
decorated with roses. This became
an annual triumphal procession,
when Londoners turned out in
i throngs to cheer the queen mother.
Only last year her health failed her
and she was obliged to give up
her plans for this ride, much to
her distress.

open the courtroom doors an hour
earlier than usual. The crowd
battled their way in and the court
room was filled in less than two

difficulty that the deputy sheriffs
were able to close the doors.
With a rumor floating through
the packed courtroom that an agree

BOWLER HATS

Time-Honored Headgear Be-

Plea of Renal
BY international News Service

CONSTANTINOPL Nov. IL
The bowler hat, the one-time ia.
vorite headgear of the American
and northern European nations,
which has been ousted from it's
popularity by the soft felt hat looks
like becoming the national headgear
of the Turk, to the detriment of the,
time-honored feZ.
Recently Mustapha Renal, the
Turkish president, appealed to his
countrymen to abandon the fez and
wear European covering for their
heads. In consequence Turkish hat
tiers have sent post-haste for large
supplies Of bowler hats from Eu
rope.
So far most Of the orders have
been for cheap brands, since the
Turk has always been accustomed
to getting his fez for almost next
to nothing.

east Washington Citizens Associa
ton that funds raised for Casualty

gency Hospital. The charges were
emphatically denied by Blair. who
declared the associations attitude
was founded upon ignorance of
true conditions. He branded the
association as "ungratefuI."
The drive which resulted in
raising 100000 was conducted for
both hospitals, Blair stated The
drive followed the action of The
Emergency Hospital board in tax.
