England Is erecting C a unique memorial t the late William I T. Stead. It is In the form of a law designed i to suppress the white slave traffic, g against which Stead preached so vigor ously and in such plain language that V. on one occasion he was sent to prison on the ground that he had offended i, public deceney. Repeatedly in the past few years at J tempts have been mada to get through ;; parliament a bill which would carry out England's obligations under the Inter I national agreement signed In Paris In J 1904,' providing for cooperation of the ! leading countries of the world in stamp t tng, out the rapidly growing evil.

English Laws Are Lax. Owing to the laxity of the present ' statutes, England has furnished a frutt i ful field for the recruiting of the white slavemarkets of America and the con : tinent Those who have investigated the subject Intimately, say that the antl Slave law recently passed by the ' United States congress, although it has resulted In a marked diminution of the . traffic from England by way of the At lantic ports, has lamentably failed so : far as the Canadian frontier is con V cerhed. ColnJdentally with the cam paign in England, the national vigilance association has been conducting an ac ' tlVS propaganda in Canada by which it is hoped the ports of that country will be closed against the traffic. J-"Th hill does not attempt the hope ,' less task of making people virtuous by ' law, nor does It attempt to effect a com ; plete cleansing of the Augean stables of t vice," explained Arthur Lee, M. 1'., who - has charge of the measure in parlia ment, in discussing its provisions with jrour correspondent. "Its main and sim ple Object is to paralyze the activities Of those sinister creatures who make 11 commercial business of deeoying, kid naping; and ruining young ami innocent i rirla, and to punish the rfeSraW tara i Sites Who live upon the earnings of ' those who have fallen into their .clutches."

COURTSHIP CRUISE Yacht Trip Planned for Wooing Is a Most Dismal Failure, (By the International News SerTlee.) Palis. July 13. News has Just reached Paris that tha Duke and Duchess of Manchester's party, which sailed away bo gaily from the sunny shores of the Mediterranean last spring, went all to leces in flowery Japan. It will be remembered that the ducal host and hostess were not the principal figures in that interesting yachting party. Mrs. William B. Leeds, the wealthy widow of a New York banker. was the real heroine and Lord Falconer. son of the Earl of Klntore and tjueendam, aspirant to the. hand of Mrs. Agnew-Chapman-Van Valkenberg, was the hero. Sir Francis Lascelles was of the party by way of chaperenage. The duke and duchess had hoped to make a marriage between tne Impecunious Lord Falconer and the wealthy widow, and where could tiic wooing be done mora discreetly and effectively than In the yacht Seml r.mls. which belonged to Anthony Drcxel? - - Widow, Bored, Beturns. But in this case the course of love did not run smooth, for on reaching Yokohama the widow thought she was bored and made a bee line for Paris, and the whole party went to pieces on the sunny shores of Japan. Mrs. Leeds traveled back by the Tsanssiberlan rail road, but not with any member of the party. ., Loid Falconer passed through Paris a few days ago on his way to London, hut he did not see Mrs. Leeds, who had been called to America by the Illness of her father. The Duke of Manchester Is n. .w on the steam yacht Warrior, near Cistellama. and the duchess is believed to be In Tanderagee castle, Ireland. Never was a yachting party more dis rupted or a courtship cruise more com pletely wrecked. Kitchener to Undergo Operation. (Bt the Interntitleoa Newi Sertlc. Berlin, July 13.

Berlin, July 13. Tho kaiser is not to be outdone (by his son as an author and has long been busily engaged writ ing or rather dictating his memoirs, since he succeeded his father in 1888. He Is devoting at least half an hour daily to this work. The memoirs will only be published according to the kaiser's present inten tions 10 years after his death, but if the work displeases the next kaiser It may never bo published unless revised. From a person who enjoys the kaiser's absolute confIdencfiund long friendship, I luarn that the memoirs ana extremely frank. They deal with much sincerity with his ministers, his children and his fellow- European-sovereigns,-- The me moirs will include a pen portrait of Edward VII, detailed the. day after that monarch died, and which will throw a strong and somewhat constitutional light upon the relationship of the two men who for 10 years held Europe s fate In their hands. The kaiser acknowledges that tho repeated achievements of Ed ward, his easy genial way, his success as a diplomat and even as a dandy dis pleased him, for his own natural gifts run on quite different lines. Falls to Outdo Edward. The kaiser, It seems, once tried to outdo Edward In tho art of dressing. He ordered some sensational hats of varied hues, but especially. gray. Ed ward's favorite color for head gear, to be hrought to Potsdam palace, previous to his departure for Willcni Wlllems hope, where he was to meet his royil kinsman. He tried them all on In the presence of the kaiserin. but W llliain had to recognize that hlu hats lacked chic and that he never would succeed In getting the butter of Edward as a dresser. Each meeting the kaiser had with Ed ward left the former dissatisfied and uneasy. Each time the same words rose to his imperial lips: "What will come out of all this? Did I commit myself?" At one point In his memoirs, tho kaiser expressed his regret that another European ruler should always be act ing as his tutor. Towards his own family the memoirs are not over tender. His wrath at tho crown prince after the latter's Incau tious demonstration In the reichstag at the Morocco debate Is set down in vivid phrases. Toward the kaiserin the me moirs bear witness of unfailing respect and affection. The kai.ser, who so sel dom takes advice, reveals the fact that In certain different circumstances fie consulted his spouse and acted with profit as she advised. The kaiser ex presses only One regret regarding the kaiserin and that concerns her delesta tlon of court functions in which he rev els. She loves to retire early In the evening and looks on the January court balls as tortures. The kaiser relates how one evening at a stale ball the kaiserin had Just received the homage of M. Blhourd. the French ambassador, but owing to her natural timidity she could not find a fitting reply to the carefully considered words of the Frenchman. The Incident was embarrassing and in different political conditions might have been considered an affront to the French representative, but the kaiser, who sees everything, came to his wife's rescue and at once found a fitting reply which adjusted the matter. Several Incidents of this kind are recalled. But tho stories which will attract most com ment If ever published tonceins the re lationship of the kaiser with his minis ters and distinguished foreigners. Storm7 Scenes Bcviewed. The world mav hear with surprise that--the katsef-oftn- harT violent dis cussions with his chancellors, that Prince Von Buelow's retirement was the sequel to a wild scene which took place at the Berlin palace several days after the publication of the London imily le egraph's interview. From that day Bue low's fate was sealed. The kaiser's relations with Americans of distinction are also curiously de scribed In the memoirs which display a most vivid interest affecting America and especially American capitalism. His friendship for J. Plerpont Morgan is frequently referred to, while his admira tion for John D. Rockefeller, Andrew Carnegie and others are matters of fre quent record. He speaks also readily of his 'Interview with ox-President Roosevelt, but confesses he was imme diately disappointed. The kaiser and (he crown prince have made up their dispute which was seven or eight months old. They met again In Bernn at (lie bedside of the sick empresh and the kaiser accepted the invitation of his son to Inspect his regiment at Dantzcl. Socialists Prepare Protest. Socialist leaders arc preparing to cir culate hundreds of fhousands of copies of a manifesto condemning th cruelty practiced by officers on common sol diets in the German army. The Social ists declare the army exists, not for national defense, hut to suppress up risings against the officers, who as rep resentatives of the ruling caste, mal treat their men in the most brutal way. The manifesto alleges that young sol diers are beaten with the ends of rtfles until they fall senseless; are roasted be fore the huge stovos used for heating the barracks to expiate on .the trifling offenses against discipline; are tram pled on with heavy boots; beaten in the faces with clenchod fists; compelled to stand for hours with extended arms, balancing rifles In an erect position. The manifesto will he dlsirlhuted In Berlin and throughout Germany by vol unteers. Turkish People Enjoy Races. (Br the luternatlnnnl Newn Service.) Constantinople, July 13. An enorm ous and motley crowd gathered at Con stantinople, on the beautiful plain of Vell-Effendl, on the shores of the Mar mora, tQ witness the first horse races of the Ottoman metropolis. The day was magnificent, the weather propituous, and the people at the height of their festive mood. The Moslems have never seen horse races before. To them It was In every way a new spectacle, -and to all it was a real sign of advancing times. Among the many thousands of spec tators women predominated. Hours be fore the show they came from every quarter with baaketa of provisions, In tending to spend the whole day in gaz ing at and chatting over the events of the day. The groups of Turkish "han oums," In their bright, multi-colored tcharshafs," fredjehs, and yashmaks, wers picturesque in the highest degreo.

London. Kng., July 13. All London Is generally delighted over the report that those two charming royal sisters, Princess Patricia of Connaught and the Crown PHncess Margaret of Sweden are to pay simultaneous visits to the Eng lish courts. One is always glad to see Princess Pat New York has confessed the charm of her presence, and for Princess Mar garet there is absolute affection In the British heart;-for- she t- thst-reaflty which is ,so appealing to the people the true wife-mother. Princes Patricia met Princess Mar garet lasi In the fall of 1911, but since that time she is once more an aunt and she is anxious to see the- new baby. It can be safely said that when modern history Is written no two English prin cesses will be accredited with more popularity than these two daughters of the Duke and Duchess of Connaught and It la simply remarkable how-all their activities remain Interesting to the British public. As the future queen of Sweden, Prin cess Margaret has endeared herself to the Swedes over whom one day she will rule. She receives a remarkable ova tion whenever she drives through the streets of Stockholm. Her husband and her children are her constant compan ions and like all of her family she, has the social gifts developed to a surpris ing degree. She won easily the affec tions of tha populace but the crowning point came when after six months of hard study she mastered the intricacies of the Swedish language.

Max Maurey, author of "La Recommendation" and other plays, also director of the Grand Ouignol theatre here, proposes a revo lution In the hour of lifting the curtain on theatrical performances. Since "five o'clock teas" don't get started until 6, dinners urflll 8 and per formances at the theatre until 9 only then to have playgoers straggling In all the way up until 10. M.; Maurey pro poses that shows begin at 7 p. m., or directly after one finishes "tea." Then, around 10 oelock, or 10:30, the show being out, theatregoers may have sup per and linger over the meal until they get good and ready to go home or until the head waiter puts them out. Next season the scheme may be tried. Dancing Masters in Annual Congress. (By the International News SerTlee.) Paris, July 13. Paris dancing mas ters have Just held their annual con gress. This is the solemn occasion on which are decided the destinies of the ballrooms for the coming winter. The congress was International, and a num ber of dances from the new world were presented. The "Mattchlche Argentine" of an Argentine professor was a suc cess, and has been added to the reper tory of the dancing -masters -of "Parts. The assurance that it in no respect re sembles the Spanish "mattchlche" is consolatory. Hopeful, too, Is the fact thatv the animal dances presented by several American professors aroused no enthusiasm. I At the top, on left, is a posed por trait of Pope Pius X.

L Child Brutally Mistreated by Drunken Nurse in City of London, (By the International Newi SerTlee.) LondOij, July 13. "A more fiendish and abonirlnable case It has never been my lot to try," remarked Paul Taylor, at Marylebone, in passing sentence of six months' hard labor on Ellen Cole nutt. a young' married woman, living at Chrlstchurch - residence, Llsson - grave, for. wilfully Ill-treating a nurse child 4H years old. Frederick Palmer, so licitor, prosecuted for the National So ciety for the Prevention of Cruelty to Children. It appeared that the defendant had been living with a married man, and was keeping the child for a sum of 60 cents a week. She admitted that she had given way to drink, and was ac cused of grossly Ill-treating the child. Dr. Ryan, of 89 Kentish townroad stated that the child was fairly nourished, but was suffering from rickets and whoop ing cough, and when examined on May 15 had 19 bruises about the limbs and body, as" if It had been struck with a blunt instrument and pinched. There were also several Inflamed welts on its cheeks, which were evidently inflicted with the swish of a cane; three abra sions under the eye, like scratches, and scars on the nose. On June 8 the doctor said he saw the child again, and then found that it scarcely had a sound inch on its body. There were numerous bruises in addi tion to those he had previously seen, while on the child's forehead were ten short weals that appeared to have been caused by a cane split at the end. All these Injuries were about two days old, and there were several others some days older. A lodger in the house spoke of hearing the child cry frequently, and She had heard the child srfyl "Don't beat me, mummy." f Defendant expressed regret, and In passing sentence upon her, Paul Taylor said the child must,, have looked upon her as the devil incarnate, and upon its own existence as a veritable hell. WOMAN AILED BEATING LITTLE GIR People Hungry While Specu lators Coin Life's Ne By F. L. O'Nell. (By the International News SerTlee.) Paris, July 13. "Let us smash the infamy' Let ua smash the infamy!" This Is the shibboleth which has been resounding through the legislative and municipal halls of Paris during the past few days. The Infamy referred to Is the coining of the. necessities of the people Into gold by spe illation, especial ly In wheat, flour and sugar. It Is calculated that there will be a bread famine in Paris later in July, and Ithe. muiyclpal , council of ; Paris recpni- mends that the communes or trance buy upths TOppHfB of wheat, flour and sugar so that their people may not be chained famine prices by speculators. This follows the demonstration by the Socialist leader, M. Juarez, whose advocacy of a similar purchase by the nation for the benefit of the people was recentlv presented in the New York. American j rromTKer" Whole discussion in the chamber, senate and city council, it is quite clear that speculation Is the enemy of the people. Georges Berry, deputy for Purls, a man - whose name stands for civic virtue, says: "At Toulon, Bordeaux and Limoges, the municipal councils ask how long they will be able to give bread to the population. Thus we may have a short age of bread all over : ranee any day. We must not close our eyes so as not to see nor close our ears so as to not hear. The situation is all the more serious because In France bread Is the basis of all sustenance and for a ma jority of the population it is half their food. "Those who do not lower the barrier of tariff and let in the wheat to feed our people forget the lessons of history. While our people are crying for bread they do not offer them stones; but they a; re practically saying with Marie An- tolnettc. Why not give them cake?' "Why should people be allowed to goJ hungry as long as bountuui nioiuer earth produces cheap wheat In Australia and elsewhere? Free the latter from tariff and you will liberate home grown wheat from unruly speculation and save our worklngmen from starvation. Un less a remedy be found 1 foresee the direst consequences for the tranquillity of my country. The old Romans at least gave bread and circuses to the people. We, the heirs of the Roman civilization, should have been able to improVe on that during all the long centuries which since have elapsed. In stead of which speculators, the lineal descendants of the money changers whom Christ ejected from the temple, have got us by the threat. "Paris Is threatened with such a shortage as we have not seen since the siege and the commune." Boys'"and Girls' Republic. (By the International Newa Service.) London, ujy 13.

Out of their wages the young republicans -will pay for their own board and lodging. - By Leland Crawford. (By the International fcews Service.) Rome, Italy, July IS Columns hare been written regarding the personal ap pearance of tha - po pe,- his part - In the ceremony of ths consistory and the pomp and splendor that surrounds the papal court, yet relatively little is known ot his Intimate personality. This in part, may be explained by reason of the ceremony that surrounds ths pontiff and by reason of ths cars that has been taken to guard him from the approach of 111 lntentloned plebeians. It has always seemed to me, how ever, that behind the church ceremonial Hhere nauet be- a humair aid some touch of interest outside tha stern formality that guards every publlo move of Plus X, that would brin ths holy father, disciple of Christ, on a plane with his fellows. It Is with this Idea In mind that I sought ths streets contiguous to the Vatican rather than a plea for a reception. The Vatican itself Is a magnificent old pile whose spires, roofs and gables -rise high above an encircling grove of ancient trees that decorate its gar dens. The quiet serenity of the vine covered masonry, the peaceful majesty lent by the hand of ages and the atmos phere that seems to surround ths hal lowed spot through its long association with the ecclesiastical history, make its Imposing architecture the most , promi nent in Rome. This feature is all the more accentu ated after a visit to the ancient Roman amphitheatre, and the great aqueducts and mausoleums of the Roman em perors. These, in truth, are Imposing, but they contrast sharply with ths buildings that house the pope and form the font of the Roman Catholic chureh. TneTRohiun buildings are inanimate and magnificent in their death, While the Vatican Is animate and doubly impos ing through the soul that lives within. Ths Vatican Idas Apart. The Vatican, indeed, lies apart and distinct from tho rest of the city. It Is not removed through its isolation, but through Its atmosphere. On the one hand Is the magnificent palace of King Victor Kmmanuel, busy with the toll of war and feeding the countless ave nues that lead to the Ghetto and on the other hand is the palace of the pope, vast, silent and Imposing, set in an at mosphere of its own and as much apart from the busy city as though it were surrounded by a desert In fact its air of isolation Is such that one. wonders in what light it is viewed by the surrounding millions who ha.:e . helped to effectually remove it from the plane of mundane things by the act that severed church and state some half century ago. It is not neces sary to go far to receive the answer. Plutocrat and plebeian alike observe the ancient fealty with all the devotion of true believers. There is little of the anti-Catholic demonstration that Is prevalent in free speaking America. And It seems that the church, through Its severance with the state, has gained rather than lost by the transaction, Of the pope himself, his rites and character there are a thousand stories current. Plus X, the son of a poor peasant. Is hailed everywhere as the father, and to his people he has always retained those simple manners and cus toms that marked his novitiate as par ish priest and teacher of the peasants. Something beside mere anecdote, however, forms the foundation for these stories of simplicity and nobility of character. There Is In Rome at the present day physical proof of the pon tiff's former obscurity. This proof lies with hia two sisters, Lucrecla and Teresa, unobtrusive peasant women whs have followed the pope from his' humble home "'"SIstsM''XTvs"SM Pops. These women dwell In a llttLe house not a stone's throw from the Vatican. The Inside of their dwelling lg extreme In its simplicity, and the only ornament of the bleak walls-being a huge portrait of Plux X. Both of these sisters are old, well along in the sixties, and both of them observe a quiet regime and simplicity of dress that makes them inconspicu ous to the peint of obscurity. But if their habits are mouse like when ap plied to temporal affairs they are very lions when concerned in the welfare of their brother. Lucrecla, the cook, In particular Is keen and crltlral in tho interest of the pontiff. It was she whom he called from llleso when he was first attacked by the rheumatic gout that has proved so painful and so dangerous during his later years. And it Is she, assisted b her sister, Teresa, who now supervised the pope's meals and tends him In his illness. Of the pope's culinary tastes and vrr sonal habits it is said that he is frugal to the point of self denial He adheres to the simple peasant dishes of his youth and observes a Spartan regime. Another interesting figure of the pope's household is his brother, Angela barto, a humble postman, who spends what time he may in company with the pontiff and his sisters. It Is his brother upon whom the pope relies for that masculine companionship 4hat is a part of every mortal. And these two old men, both handsome and with thick white hair, alike, and yet not alike, ar9 the closest companions.
