YOUNG MEN ARE PLENTIFUL A'ombcr "ot in Uniform Gives Proof That Reserves of 1915 Have Not Act Bern Called Depart ' merit Stores Crowded. BY JAM ES 0'DONELI BENNETT. Copyright. 19W. by the Chfcaco Tribune. Published by arrangement..) BKRUN, May 7. The little square, w eather-worn flac of the Crown Prince was flying from the roof of his palace at the end of Unter den linden. The lone white curtains at a window tin the second floor stirred, then parted, and two restless boys In sailor suits were seen hobblinu: about, ronipinsr, evi dently, in tho twilight of what may have been to them, as to millions ol little boys the world over, a long and tedious Sunday. The quadruple lines of promenaders w ho had been streaming down the IJn drn to view the captured cannon prrouped around Rauch's proud bronze of Great Frederick, and his Generals caught sight of the boyish heads bob bing behind the white curtains and began to mass themselves In front of the palace where a new girl baby ar rived a few days ago. CroiTd Urrrts Child. Suddenly the littlest of the two boys caught Bight of the flutter of handker chiefs, or heard the patter of gloved hands, for he paused in his romp and looked with childlike and eager eyes down on the crowd. The greetings -wafted up to him became more ani mated, and he smiled. While he was so gazing he vanished In moft unprincely fashion, hustled away from the window by his brother perhaps, or perhaps admonished by simie older person. At his disappear ance the crowd laughed heartily and made as If to move on. But In an Instant the curtains parted again, this time quite slowly, and the little boy clambered on to the window scat, stood up. and gravely saluted the people in the street. Old men raised their hats, women lifted their children to their shoulders and bade them wave their hands to the child standing at rigid salute. ;pntally la Contagious. The little figure was clearly outlined In the great window close-cropped head of dark hair, white sailor suit with collar of light blue, and a face more like the face of the Crown Prin cess than of the Crown Prince. Two or three times the child saluted, and every time he did that the coo of endearment went up to him and chuckles from the old men. The geniality of the crowd communi cated itself to the sentries standing at each side of the entrance of the palace. They could not see what was going on in the window above them, but they grinned broadly. It seemed to be quite a family affair. Then there was a slow movement of the curtains and apparently some words were spoken to the boy. for he turned his hend and then decorously descended from the window ledge. The little domestic drama was over. It was bedtime In the palace. The handkerchief waving crowd passed on to look at the cannon massed around the statue of the boy's granduncle Jive generations removed great-great-great-great-grcat-granduncle. I fig ure it. My friend Weigle vouchsafed illumi nating comment on what we had just aeen. "Any time," said he as we moved along with the crowd, "you feel like falling for any of that English bunk about this being anybody's private war you want to come down here and see the folks shake hands, so to speak, with the family that's running the war for them. Fourteen operahouses and playhouses of the first-class are open in Berlin "Carmen" and "Mlgnon" are the most popular opera bills and always sell out. The three current Shakespearean bills alternated from week to week at the Deutsches Theater are "The Winter's Tale," "Midsummer Night's Dream" and "The Merchant of Venice." These performances are usually sold out. Reinhardt is the director. To an American who has lived a long time in tlermany I said that, in view of all the chauvinism there is rampant in the world today, it seemed rather remark able that Shakespeare should still hold the boards in Germany. "Not at all." said he: "they regard him as a German. In their opinion the r.ngush only produced him, while the Germans discovered him." I can believe it. for 1 have never for gotten the entire seriousness with which Leo Ditrichstein once looked up from the pages of Schlegel's translation of "Hamlet," I think it was, and said: "What a pity it is you can't read Shakespeare In German." Among the world - famous modern bills are Myer-Foerster"s "Old Heidel berg." which Mr. Mansfield brought out in so captivating a manner In our country; "The Five Frankfurters," a romance of the Rothschilds which never reached Chicago, and "Faith and Home. one of the most significant of modern German plays. The list of current operas is amazing In its worth and variety. Here are some of the works being sung: "Parsival," "Iphigenia in Aulls," "The Huguenots," "The Marriage of Figaro," "The daugh ter oi ine regiment, Atda, ' Der Kosenkavalier," "La Bohcme," "Car nien," "La Travlata." "The Bartered Bride," "Undine," "Martha," "The Jewess" and "Die Flodermaus." The 'variety theaters are packed, even (the enormous Winter garden, which is t least twice the size of any variety theater we have in Chicago. Here 1 saw a good routine bill of vaudeville. There were no exceptional novelties, but 15 good standard numbers. Among them was the travesty act of the Amer ican team, of Barnes and King, who were programmed as "Zauber-pa'rodls-ten" (magic parodists), and who went well. The house was crowded and there were seats and tables at all kinds of prices for all kinds of people. Contract to London Rioted. As T strolled along Unter den Linden, 1 made some comparisons that I don't think are unfair. In London' the in evitable drunk would have been dozing on a park bench: In Paris a worm of the earth would have been pushing vile picture cards under one's nose and the ears would have been assailed by the raucous yell of "Paris Midi"; In Chicago there would have been a racket of one kind or another. But from 8 until midnight the restaurants and beer halls are packed to the doors with all sorts and condi tions ot people sedate, middle-aged folk who take an hour over a glass of beer and three hours over dinner and who manifestly are ,from the "etninentlv respectable" walks of life; dashing-looking girls who probably are not so respectable; German officers by the hundred and Austrian officers by the score, and Turkish diplomatic and consular attaches by the dozen. It is a cheerful crowd, but placidly cheerful. It comes, It listens to the music, it sips, it visits, and then it goes dully and contentedly home. How the restaurants take care of them and how they- make any money out of them is a marvel. Last night it required four footmen two inside and two outside to manage one set of revolving doors at the huge Vaterland beer and coffee hall. The line never broke during the two hours I looked on. The vast place was blazing with electric light. 1915 Reserves Xot Called. The numbers of young men not In uniform at the tables gave the best possible proof of the statement that the empire has not yet called the 1915 reserves to the colors. Franca has called the 1916 men and Itussia the 1917. The Vaterland used to be the Picca dilly. For obvious reasons they changed the name, and for once hit upon a better one. The old Hotel Bris tol, known to thousands of Americans, has obliterated its name, but not changed it. which seems to satisfy all concerned. At Ivempinski's, which is, I believe, the largest restaurant in the world and takes care of 10.000 persons at one meal time, though not at one sitting, the prices for certain dishes are said to have been advanced since the war about 10 pfennigs (2Va cents), and not beyond that. Until this week I had not been in Berlin since Christmas and the only change I notice is that the town seems brighter and the spirits of the people higher. The frock-coated hotel clerks are as bored and as majestic as ever and the natives as ready to subject a foreigner to a slow and not too cordial scrutiny.

WOMAN KILLED, CHILD WOL'XDED BY AERIAL BOMBS. Germsns Attack KiiKlish Coast Mean while FreDch Aeroplanes Bombard Chemical Work on Rhine. LONDON, May 27. Another aerial raid was made by Germans last night at Southend, a popular seaside resort at the mouth of the Thames. Reports do not agree whether two or three Zeppelins were engaged. One woman. Mrs. May Fabin, was killed. She was visiting in Southend, and had just stepped from a streetcar when frag ments of the bomb dropped by the raider struck her. One child is re ported badly wounded. There were no other casualties so far as known. The noise of the propellers of the airships was first heard shortly be fore 11 o'clock. Then came at once the shock of the explosions as the bombs rained down from above. Some of the missiles were incendiary and threw out bright flares of light. While the reports of this raid were being received, accounts came also from Paris of a successful attack by a French squadron of 18 aeroplanes on a German chemical factory at LiUdwigsharen, on the Rhine, opposite Mannheim. It is said that several fires were seen to break out as a re suit of the bombardment. This factory is one of the most im portant manufacturers of explosives in all Germany. The French aviators were In the air six hours and covered more than A00 kilometers (240 miles). CRIME IN 19013 CHARGED Doomed Wyoming Man Gets Appeul Because of Typographical Error. CHEYENNE, Wyo.. May 27. The Wyoming Supreme Court allowed : writ of error to the United States Su preme Court In the case of Oscar W. White, under sentence to be hanged June 4 for the murder of Anderson Coffee. White's appeal is based on the contention that his conviction of a crime, alleged by official information to have been committed August 12, 19013. 17,100 years in the future, is a violation of the fourteenth amend ment to the United States Constitution. The mistake in the Cate. which should have been August 12. 1913. was due to a clerical error in neglecting to correct the printed date on an old indictment blank. H.

AUSTRIAN FIRSI TO LOSE AIRCRAFT Italian Gunners Score in Initial Encounter of War Between Land and Sky. INVASION IS UNDER WAY Soldiers Begin March Half Hour After Orders Are Received Aus trians Destroy Bridges as They Ilctreat Slowly. ITALIAN FRONT, Frluli. via Parrs. May 26. Italian gunners today brought down an Austrian aeroplane in the first contest of the Italian campaign between flying machines and anti-aircraft guns. An aeroplane, rising from behind the Austrian lines at 9:30 o'clock, darted over the rocky ground in front of the Italian positions. A field battery opened fire as it came within range. The first shot missed. The second struck fairly, causing flames to burst from the motor. The aeroplane plunged downward and was splintered on the rocks. This was one of the incidents at tending the opening of the Austro-Ital- an campaign as observed by the cor respondent of the Associated Press. Vlong this part of the front, where the Italians are advancing in the direction of Trieste, there were stirring scenes. though as yet there has been little heavy fighting. Battle Watched by Villagers. The correspondent was permitted to go near enough to the front to ob tain a panoramic view of the section of the fighting line. Visits to Santand- rat, Palmanova and other towns near the border furnished a good idea of the conditions under which the Italian invasion of Austria is Leing carried on. At Palmanova it was possible to obtain a birdseye view of the surrounding country, which falls away from that point. The people of the village were watching the spectacle of cavalry charges and artillery action over the nearby front. It is a picturesque region of green hills and quaint villages, among which wind dusty white roads. When the order was given earlier in the week for the advance across the border the Italian troops were in read iness for the move. The command came at 9:30 o'clock in the morning and half an hour later the soldiers were on the march. The infantry proceeded n long files, headed by sharpshooters. From converging roads came artillery carriages, motor trucks and detach ments of cavalry. War's First Shot Kills Austrian. The first shot of the war was fired by a frontier guard at Bellacqua, who, having seen in the semi-darkness a shadowy figure approaching, shot dead an Austrian soldier, who was attempt ing to fire a mine. With the sunrise artillery fire opened from the direction of Cividale, Italian troops everywhere sprang to the attack, fording the Idrla, swarming across bridges and climbing the hills beyond. From time to time tremendous ex plosions were heard above the roar of artillery. They marked the firing of mines by which the .'-ustrians were blowing up their bridges as they fell back. The Austrians made little at tempt to halt the Italians' advance. although elaborate preparations had been made along the border. Railway lines were obstructed by heavy beams laid across the track and fastened down with chains. The roads were blocked with trenches, trees and wire entanglements. Brazzano is the first village on Aus trian soil in which the Italian flag was flown. It was run up on the bel fry of the village church. Signs of War Are Everrnhere. At San Giovanni, Mazano, the cor respondent saw the first of the Italian wounded and also the first Austrian prisoner captured, a member of the landsturm from Friuli. As he was brought into the Italian lines he kept repeating, "I am an Italian." All along this section of the front there were signs of war. Roads were filled with long lines of transports and Red Cross automobiles. Every where battalions of soldiers were to be seen, held back as yet from the fight ing line. Picking their way through the crowded roads were carts, drawn by oxen, in which were women and children, with their household goods. Behind them walked the men, fleeing from the battle-swept region. MANY THINKJAINE STRUCK (Continued From First Page.) memorandum to the State Department, declaring that the mines laid by Ger many were of such a character as would become innocuous when un loosed. Previously the British government had given the United States similar as surances. The laying of mines for the sole purpose of intercepting commerce was forbidden by The Hague conven tion, but there has been no general rule by which the prohibition could be in terpreted, as it had been asserted that all mines used in the present war have been laid for offensive or defensive purposes. Mines . Convention Inoperative. The United States ratified The Hague convention on the subject of mines, but the convention is inoperative because most of the signatories did not ratify It. The principles laid down in the convention, however, were that the lay ing of unanchored contact mines should be forbidden, and that all mines should be of such a character as to become THAT TO FEELING Relieved by Hood's Sarsaparllla, Which Renovates the Mood. That tired feeling that comes to you in. the Spring, year' after year, is a sign that your blood lacks vitality, just as pimples, boils and other erup tions are signs, that it is impure, and it is also a sign that your system is in a low or run-down condition in viting disease. It is a warning, which it is wise to heed. Ask your druggist for Hood's Sar saparllla. This old standard tried and true blood medicine relieves that tired feeling. it cleanses the blood, gives new life, new courage, strength and cheerfulness It makes the rich red blood that will make you feel, look, eat and sleep better.

Inocuous Immediately on being tached from the anchorages. i The case of the Nebraskan, if it j should be found that the vessel was torpedoed, would be somewhat similar to that of the 'American tank steamer Gulflight. Although the German Ad miralty is said to have denied that a German submarine attacked the Gulf light, the American Government . has concluded from the investigation of naval officers and such testimony as was furnished by the first officer of the Gulflight that the ship was indeed tor pedoed by a German under-water craft. If it is proved that the Nebraskan was partially wrecked by a mine, the case would be similar to the mishaps to the American cotton ships Evelyn and Carib, which struck mines the re sponsibility for which never has been fixed. Berlin Without Information. BERLIN, May 27, via London May 28. No information is available here regarding the reported torpedoing of the American steamer Nebraskan off the southern coast of Ireland last Tuesday night. SUBMARINES SINK TWO DAMSH AXD BRITISH MERCHANT. MK. ARK DBSTKOYDU. One Killed on British Vessel, Which Is Both Torpedoed and Shelled by Knemy Craft. LONDON. May 27. Sinking of a Danish and a British steamer by Ger man submarines yesterday were re ported here today. The Danish steamer Betty was tor pedoed by a German submarine in the North Sea yesterday and went to the bottom. The members of her crew were rescued and have been taken to the Tyne. The Betty was 281 feet long and ot 1267 tons net register, fane was built in 1912 and was owned In Copenhagen. She sailed from Baltimore April 10 for Copenhagen, where she arrived May 8. According to a dispatch from Cardiff, the steamship Morwenna, of Montreal, was torpedoed and shelled by a sub marine at noon yesterday, 160 miles from St. Ann's Head. One member of the crew was killed, three were wound ed. The Morwenna, a British steamship. was built at Dundee In 1904. She was 260 feet long, and was owned by the St. Lawrence Shipping Company, of Montreal. The maritime records show that she left Cardiff May 25. St. Ann's Head is in Wales. A dis tance of 160 miles west by south of this location would have placed the Morwenna not far from Old Head of Klinsale, where the Lusitania was tor pedoed.

SOUL NEEDS CONSIDERED Kxceptional facilities Afforded All Chaplains Called to Col ors in Italy Work of Itelief to Continue. ROME. May 26, via Tarls. May 27. The hour which we are traversing Is painful, but our prayers will go out more frequently and more fervently than ever to those who have In their hands the fate of nations," is the dec laration made by Pope Benedict in a letter to Cardinal Vannutelli, published in the Osservatore Komano, the Vati can organ. The Pontiff recalls hie first ency clical, in which he urged the belligerent nations to make peace, but points' out that his voice wis unheeded and the war continued until "the terrible con flagration has extended to our beloved Italy." Work for Relief Continue. The Pontiff says he wanted to hold a consistory early in June to discuss with the Sacred College matters of Importance concerning the government of the church, but, unfortunately, tho distressing events made this impos sible. "While our heart bleeds at the s'ght of so much misery," the Pope writes. "we have not neglected to continue our work for relief and the diminution of the deplorable consequences of war. The holy father then recalls his ef forts for the exchange of wounded prisoners unable to fight again. The needs of the soul, he writes, specially attracted his fatherly attention, and exceptional facilities were consequently afforded all chaplains called under the colore or attached to the Italian army in any capacity. Three Days' I-'ast Proclaimed. The Pope then exhorts all Catholics to practice with him for three days a strict ecclesiastical fast and accords a plenary indulgence applicable also to souls in purgatory. Continuing, the Pope writes: "I wish that the echo of our voice might reach to all our children at fected by the great scourge of war and persuade all of them of our participa tion in their troubles and sorrows. There is little of the grief of the child that is not reflected in the soul of the father."
