LOST III THE WAR
Royalty in England Reduced to Penury by Vanished Funds.
EVEN QUEEN FEELS PINCH
King George Comes to Aid of Relative
Too Poverty-stricken to Pay Hie
Grocery Bill—Prince Arthur
Has Rich Wife.
London.—All because of the war, which spares neither the high nor the lowly, several minor royalties resi¬ dent In England llnd themselves with¬ in hailing distance of the poorhouse as a result of having been deprived al¬ together of their incomes and several of thf-m actually wo\]ld be in want but for the fact that King George haa come to their assistance Meanwhile not only the king and queen them- selvop but several of the other most exalted membera of the royal circle bavo been hard hit in a linancial way. and at least one of tl'.em has been placed in a mightily embarrassing and humiliating position.
Prince Christian's Income Gone.
Prince and Princess Christian, for example, have had their entire private Income which came from German gov¬ ernment annuities and money Invested In German securities swept away. The prince, however, as the chief ranger at Windsor, has a salary of $2,000 per annum and as such he also occupies Cumberland Lodge, one of the finest residences at. Windsor In the king's gift, rent free.
It is absolutely Impossible for tbe princo to keep up this establishment on a salary of only 12.000 a year, wblcb would not be sufficient to pay the servants' wages. Tbe prince and bis family before the war had an in¬ come of about $14,000 per annum, and this has now absolutely ceased, for It all eame from Qermany.
Prince Christian, like many otber minor royalties in England, lived up to the last penny of his income, and when sudden financial prressure cain«i be had no resources of any sort to fall back on. and tradesmen about Wlnd- Bor, to many tt whom tbe prince was In debt, refused to deliver the usual monthly orders without cash wben the prince could not pay.
King George came to bis relative's aid and arranged with the tradespeo¬ ple at Windsor to supply Cumberland lodge with necessaries in the way of food.
Queen's Brother In Bad Way.
Prince and Princess Alexander of Teck, who are notortously among the most Impecunious of royalties In Kng¬ land, have also lost practically all their private means through tbe war.
The prince, who Is, of course. Queen Mary's brother, received an Income of about four thousand dollars per annum from interest on mortgages on real estate In North Germany, and the prin¬ cess has about two thousand dollars per annum from German government annuities.
Queen Mary has had to come from time to time to the aid of her brother, but her majesty now has to support both him and the princess and their family altogether. The prince was appointed some little while back gov¬ ernor general of Canada, but it is un¬ likely that his royal highness wtll go to Canada until the war Is over.
The prince and princess with their family are now occupying a few rooms at St. James palace. They have but two servants and are living In the plainest and simplest manner. Ex-KIng Manuel In Straits.
Of all royalties In England the ex- klng^ of Portugal and Queen Victoria, h!s wife, have suffered most severely In pocket by the war, and the royal residence at Twickenham has been tb.-own Into utter confusion.
The whole of the income of tho queen was derived from German sources, and of course ceased, but that did not amount to very much, not more than a few hundreds a year. But Kins Manuel, who' had invested very largely lately In Russian and French securities, on the advice of his banker In Paris, has for the moment been de¬ prived of nearly the whole of a con¬ siderable income, excepting the Inter¬ est on some of lils holdings in British Industrial concerns, which have de¬ clined about .'iO per cent In capital value. ^
The ex-monarch Is in far worse cir¬ cumstances, as a-matter of fact, than he wns at the time of the revolution in Portugal. Ho has no resources to fall back on and no one to^spme to his aid.
Queen Alexandra Feels Pinch.
Queen Alexandra has also felt tha results of the war severely. Her ma¬ jesty's extravagance and carelessness about her money affairs are matters that have caused a good deal of talk in the royal entourage of late.
During tbe lasi. season Queen Alex¬ andra entertained in the most elabor¬ ate and costly way at Marlborough bouse, and as a result piled up very considerable liabilities; to pay these it became necessary that she should overdraw her banking account for a sum of $250,000; while arrangements were being made for tbls overdraft tho war broke out, and her majesty's
bankers would not entertain the Idea of the loan. I Her majesty for some short time I waa placed In the most embarrassed I pogltlcn, tor she could not obtain even 1 any ready money, a fairly plentiful I supply of which is necessary to keep I »he establishments at .Marlborough house and Sandringham going, and there were certain liabilities to trades- I people which, though there was no I actual legal obligation on the part of I Queue Alexandra to pay at once, pay¬ ment could not be withheld without giving rise to unpleasant gossip. Prince Arthur Has Rich Wife. Prince Arthur of Connaught has lost an income of about three thousand flve hundred dollars arising out of money Invested In Germany, which was settled on him by bis maternal grandfather. This was all the private means the prince had before his mar¬ riage, but he got, of course, an Im¬ mense fortune with his wife, and neither be nor the princess have suf¬ fered any special Inconvenience by the present financial disturbances.
The Duke of Saxe-Coburg and Gotha, a flrst cousin cf King George, who has thrown in his lot with the German and is flghting for his native country, has lost for the moment a sum of about nine thousand dollars which he had banked in London and payment of which has been rc*jsed to the duke's agent in.London.
Kaiser Sells English Securities. Before tho outbreak of the war the kaii-fT was holder of a considerable block of English government stock and also of some British industrial shares and railroad stock. Over two months ago the kaiser disposed of his holdings, which was assigned in trust for the German emperor to the Prin¬ cess Henry ot Battenberg, The prin¬ cess, by the way, Is one of the wealth¬ iest of foreign royalties in London. She will continue to receive the Inter¬ est cn it until the end of the war, when she will pass It back to the kai¬ ser.
King George derives practically all his private Income from money In¬ vested either in England or the col¬ onies, and has not, therefore, suffered any special loss by the war, but it has necessitated many calls on his purse both in the way of helping his pela- tlves at home and In the subscriptions be has been called upon to give to the various charitable funds for tbe relief of distress. Tbe most extraor¬ dinary economies bave, therefore, been made In tbe management of the royal establishment.
Porridge and fruit form the regular breakfast now at Buckingham palace, with eggs and bacon once a week and flsh twice a week. Meat has appeared on tbe royal table only once a week since tbe outbreak of war. One way svid another the living expenses at Buckingham palace bave been reduced by nearly 50 per cent.
BATTLE 7 NIGHTS OF HELL
Wounded French Soldiers Tell Story j of Horrors of Fighting With
i Almost No Sleep. I
] London.—Geoffrey Young, a corre- I i spondent. wlr^ that the statements j of the wounded returning from tbe
Aisne show tbe terrible nature of tbe
fighting. .411 told practically the same I story. j
j "It began at six o'clock with heavy I shell flre," a soldier related to him. i "There was a short Interval at which
It stopped at about 5:30 every day. I Then In the night often came the : charges, and one night I couldn't .
count them. It was awful—kill, kUL j kill, and still they came on, shoving
one another over on to us." j
I No man but had his story of cpm- { : rades on either side shot or smashed,'' j j of the shock of shells day after day, ' j and of the perpetual groaning of the I wounded as they lay in the wet ! trenches. i "Seven days and nights of It and
some nights only an hour's sleep; it ' was just absolute hell."
No one found another word to de- ) scribe It, and the sight of the men I bore it out. Muddied to the eyes, , wet, often with blood caked on them, I many were suffering from the curi- ' ous aphasia produced by continued ; trouble and tho concussion of shells I bvirsting. Some were dazed, and ! speechless; somo deafened, and yet no ¦ face wore the terrible animal war I look.
j War Brings People to Church. I Manchester, P^ngland,—Greatly In- I creased attendance a^ church services : is one of the marked effects of the ; war noted by Manchester clergymen. : One of them in a Manchester paper j says: "It is surprising to see as large an attendance at a week night service ' as at a Sunday stirvice. It Is the In- I Btlnct of those left at home to flnd ] fellowship at such times. But the out¬ standing factor is that the war is i bringing ur as a nation into the pres¬ ence of the realities of life and death."
103 Years Old; Would Enlist. Petrograd.—A Crimean war veteran, one hundred and three years old. tramped 100 mllea to Kostroma to of¬ fer bis services as a volunteer. He is one of the "Iron men" of Russia and was Hale and hearty when he reached Kostroma. He proudly displayed a row of medals won In tbe Crimean campaign.
"The Roll of Honor." London. — A London newspaper heads Its columns giving brief sketches of offlcers killed and wounded in bat¬ tle "The roll of honor," with tbe sec¬ end line the quotation from Kipling's latest poem, "Wtio Dies If England Uves?"
