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 the prince to keep up this establishment on a salary of only $2,000 a year, which would not be sufficient to pay the servants' wages. The prince and hie family before the war had an In come of about $14,000 per annum, and this has now absolutely ceased, for it all came from Germany. Prince Christian, like many other minor royalties In England, lived up to the last penny of his Income, and when sudden financial pressure cafne, he had no resources of any sort to fall back on, and tradesmen about Wind sor, to many of whom the prince was In debt, refused to deliver the usual | monthly orders without cash when the prince could not pay. King George came to his 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 notoriously among the most impecunious of royalties in Eng land, have also lost practically all their private means through the 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 will 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 bankers would not entertain the Idea of the loan. Her majesty for some short tttne was placed In the most embarrassed position, for she coiild not obtain even any ready money, a fairly plentiful supply of which Is necessary to keep the establishments at Marlborough house and Sandringham going, and there were certain liabilities to trades people which, though there was no actual legal obligation on the part of Quene 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 five 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 he nor the princess have suf fered any special Inconvenience by the present financial disturbances. The Duke of Saxe-Coburg and Gotha, a first cousin cf King George, who has thrown in his lot with the German and is fighting 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 revised to j the duke's agent in.London. Kaiser Sells English Securities. ! Before the outbreak of the war the kaiser was holder of a considerable block of English government stock and also of some British industrial shares and railroadi stock. Over two J months ago the kaiser disposed of his J holdings, which was assigned in trust [ for the German emperor to the Prin cess Henry of 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 on 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 »ela- tlves at home and In the subscriptions he has been called upon to give to the various charitable funds for the relief of distress. The most extraor dinary economies have, therefore, been made In the management of the royal establishment. Porridge and fruit form the regular breakfast now at Buckingham palace, with eggs and bacon once a week and fish twice a week. Meat has appeared on the royal table only once a week since the outbreak of war. One way -Vid another the living expenses at Buckingham palace have been reduced by nearly 50 per cent.

Ex-King Manuel In Straits. Of all royalties In England the ex- king' 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 thrown into utter confusion. The whole of the Income of the 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 King Manuel, who' had invested very largely lately in Russian and French securities, on the advice of his banker j 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 his holdings in British Industrial concerns, which have de clined about 50 per cent in capital value. ' The ex-monarch is in far worse cir cumstances, as a- m atter of fact, than he was at the time of the revolution in Portugal. He has no resources to fall back on and no one to^fipme to bis aid. Queen Alexandra Feels Pinch. Queen Alexandra has also felt the results of the war severely. Her ma jesty’s extravagance and carelessness about her money affairs are m atters that have caused a good deal of talk In the royal entourage of late. During the last season Queen Alex andra entertained In the most elabor ate and costly way at Marlborough house, 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 this overdraft the war broke out, and her majesty’s Wounded French Soldiers Tell Story of Horrors of Fighting With Almost No Sleep. London.—Geoffrey Young, a corre spondent, w l r ^ that the statements of the wounded returning from the Alsne show the terrible nature of the fighting. All told practically the same story. \It began at six o’clock with heavy shell fire,” a soldier related to him. \There was a short interval at which it stopped at about 5:30 every day. Then In the night often came the charges, and one night I couldn’t count them. It was awful—kill, MU, kill, and still they came on, shoving one another over on to us.” No man but had his story of cpm- rades on either side shot or smashed,f’ of the shock of shells day after day, and of the perpetual groaning of the wounded as they lay In the wet trenches. \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 bore it out. Muddied to the eyes, i wet, often with blood caked on them, j many were suffering from the curi ous aphasia produced by continued trouble and the concussion of shells bursting. Some were dazed, and | speechless; some deafened, and yet no i face wore the terrible animal war i look. W a r Brings People to Church. Manchester, England.—Greatly in- j creased attendance aj church services is one of the marked effects of the war noted by Manchester clergymen. One of them in a Manchester paper says: \It Is surprising to see as large an attendance at a week night service as at a Sunday survice. It is the in stinct of those left at home to find fellowship at such times. But the out standing factor Is that the war Is bringing us 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 miles to Kostroma to of fer his services as a volunteer. He is one of the “iron men\ of Russia and was Itale and hearty when he reached Kostroma. He proudly displayed a row of medals won In the Crimean campaign. \The Roll of Honor.” London. — A London newspaper heads its columns giving brief sketches of officers killed and wounded in bat tle “The roll of honor,\ with the sec ond line the quotation from Kipling’s latest poem, \Who Dies If England Lives T\ I?
