ROYAL PRINCESS
SECRETLY WED TP
HER CHAUFFEUR
Elopement of Former Royal
Princess With Her Chauf
feur Causes Tremendous
Sensation In Berlin.
Zurich, Switzerland, Sept. 18.
The amaz;ng royal romance in
volved in the marriage of Princess
Alexandra Victoria, daughter of
Prince Frederick, duke of Schles-wig-Holstcin,
who yns recently di
vorced by Prince August William of
Hohenzollern, fourth son of the
former kaiser, to her chauffeur, has
created a tremendous sensation
Berlin..
The former royal princess has
eloped with Fritz Meyer, whose only
linic with royalty was a limousine
speaking tube. Frau Meyer, ' the
princess that was is now on her
honeymoon, and happy.
s Prefers Husband to Prince.
' I'd ratLe'r he the lover wife of a
-hauffeur than the unloved wife of a
royal prin.re," she tells her friends.
Her royal ex-husband's comment
was the bland announcement that
royalty is well rid of his quondam
spouse. But the people of Berlin are
stii! gasping from the shock of the
affair.
Fritz Meyer, before the war, was
a smart figur;- in the ex-kaiser's
livery. Later he became a lieutenant
in the German officers' reserve corps.
out it is understood that the romance
,,.;!. r;n. T7...:. i i ;
in. i IUUC33 riLiund urtu na in
ception while he was still the pilot
of the royfil motor cars.
When Prince August William
brorght his stir for divorce from the
charming, beautiful and reputedly
extravagant princess, he alleged that
she had. fallen in love with an offi
cer "of common tastes and demo
cratic name." Berlin wondered at
the time, but since the recent elope
ment the bewilderment has turned
to social shock. Friends of the
princess are said to have commented
on her frequen" appearance with the
officer who drove her motor. The
statement is made that at one time
the chauffeur was caught kissing the
fair hand of his queenly mistress.
Prince August William is at pres
ent emploved .is a bank clerk in
Berlin. He has figured liitle in th
puMic eye sinre the war, although at
the time when Germany was at the
height of its power, overrunning
France and invadinsr Russia, the
kaiser planned to make his fourth
son regent of Lourtland.
Incompatibility was the reason
publicly given for his divorce from
Princess Victoria
Anger Aroused.
But how can a chauffeur support
a wife who' "hot only possesses roya
blood but royal tastes? She was
taken to task several times by the
former kaiser for her extravagance.
The ex-emperor imprisoned her for
two weeks in the round tower of
Castle Babelsberg as punishment for
a frivolous whim.
His anger was aroused because
one night at the theater Princess
Victoria summoned to the royal box,
alter the performance, ban Petras,
the star of the play. It seems that
the actress was wearing a huge
cartwheel hat, which Mad so struck
the fancy of the princess thafshe
wanted to inspect it at closeS-atige
She not only took the name and ad
dress of the milliner, but asked and
obtained permission-to "try on" the
bat. This upset the emperor, and
for "conduct unbecoming a royal
princess" Victoria was "imprisoned"
with only two maids to attend her.
The princess is 1 a statuesque
blonde, la'-ge of figurer-with reddish
hair, and a complexion which radi
ates vigor, health and activity. She
is a personification of the national
German heroine, "Germania." Cen

Woman as Good as Her Nose
Says Prof.' Who Studies 'Em
of Tx!vee.
5S".fnrvoM
Written for International News Service.
By MARGERY REX. .
New York, Aug. 21. Josephine,
of France, early married Vicomte
Beauharnais. After his execution
she was induced to wed Napoleon
Bonaparte. Because this childless
marriage displeased France she con
sented to divorce so that the em
peror might marry Archduchess
Marie Louise.
Lucretia Borgia, Who was the sis
ter of Caesar Borgia, is famous for
her many wanton crimes and vices,
being chiefly known for her deeds
of poisoning. She was married three
times. In later years writers
cleared her of many charges.
Maddened by the beauty of Hele;i
Troy, Paris, son of Priam, stole
Helen from her husband, Memelaus,
who gathere'd together a number of
Greek princes to avenge the wrong.
This brought on the Trojan war.
When Paris was killed Helen was
married to his brother and later be
trayed him, after Troy fell, in order
to win back her first husband.
All of them had straight noses.
Nose Tells It. ,
Familiar to scientists is the fact,
that a chain is only as strong as its
weakened link.
From a phrenologist and psychol
ogiet. Prof. E. V. Howe, now con
ducting a thorough investigation of
humanity by means of a walking
tour to "See America," comes an
other useful if a more disturbing-
hint. j
Prof. Howe stopped off in his
travels long enough to say in effect:
A woman is only as good as her
nose! .
"I've seen them all. I have been
to all the foreign places India.
Austria, Fort Lee, Africa, Soviet
Russia and the Scandavian peninsu
la and I tell you a woman with a
straight nose will never forsake you.
They love but once and are very
constant.
"Women with straight noses
make the best wives. Whenever I
want to judge anybody I look at his
nose.
Sign of Intelligence.
Prof. Howe also said people with
large noses should be proud rather
than ashamed; that a sizable nose
was a sign of intelligence and self
control; that straight noses mean
reliability," while thin-nosed people
are narrow-minded.
He also, brings the news that
though a blonde may be , livelier
company than a brunette, she is
more apt to forsake you for another.
This last, the professor says, he pos
itively knows and is prepared to
prove. In classic times beauties had
golden hair and straight noses.
Foremost among the straight
nosed women of history were the
celebrated Greeks. Yet Helen of
Troy was able to stir up quite a
little excitement in spite of her clean
cut profile, i And there was Madame
Ulysses, who stayed at home and
wove mats and did other reconstruc
tive work, while her wandering hus
band went ' sailing around looking
for trouble and a short-nosed
woman.
Dead Calm.
Ulysses struck a dead calm whijf
he was out cruising for the Graeco
Roman cup, or vase, and decided to
take instead the cup that the siren,
Circe, offered.
Caesar's wife was so impeccable
that to mention her is to name a
synonym for virtue. It is quite safe
to assume that the famous general's
wife had a nose of the Roman vari
ety, large, if not altogether straight.
Montaigne, in an essay on beauty,
praised large noses as indicative of
strength of character. Napoleon
chose marshals, governors and other
leaders for the size of their noses.
Josephine had a long, straight nose,
and proved her worth by her selt
sacrifice. But, while some scientists claim
such noses are signs of character,
others say character itself chances
and molds the features and expres
sion. In youth a nose is more or
less indefinite. Decisiveness comes
with age.
Outzon Borglum, the famous
sculptor, says:
Creates Countenance.
"Man is tjie creator of his own
countenance, just as I am the crea
tor of heads in marble. Just as I
fashion features in clay, so a man,
by his thought process Dlavinsr uoon
-his facial muscles, assumes a coun
tenance fitting the nature of hft
soul.
"The contour of the face itself
means little. I have known sons of
great men, men whose faces were
replicas of the countenances of their
respective fathers. Yet almost al
ways with certain phenomenal ex
ceptions these faces were vacant
masks; they meant nothing. The
son with the father's distinguished
fe J
K2W
e Trovr
face had none of the qualities which
should have gone with that face and
which, according to accepted theories
of physiognomy, the face should
have carried with it.
"An aquiline nose indicates noth
ing; a big nose indicates nothing; a
thin nose nothing; but the way the
nose is used indicates- much. The
small muscles on either side of the
nose in the tiny lobes move as one
breathes they move, too. as one
thinks.
Indicates' Character.
"A straight nose, with a bridge
which comes horizontally from the
face, indicates straigTitness from the
uprightness of character.
"But a nose with a bridge which
tilts upward indicates a sneering,
supercilious nature a nature lack
ing in human forbearance, generosity
and kindliness."
On the desirability of straight
noses at least the sculptor Borglum
agrees with Professor Howe, who
fights shy of the pug-nosed or re
trousse lady, and who will recom
mend only those maidens whose pro
files show a nose as straight as an
arrow.
Yet why is it that men do marry
women with short, humpy and tilted
noses? And why do cartoonists,
famous for their keen observation of
human nature, depicts the shrew, the
disagreeable spinster, and the nag
ging wife with long, straight noses?
Why is the straight-nosed woman
more loyal in love? Is it because
she receives less opportunity to be
fickle than her pert-nosed sister?
But it is true that one can never
tell about a woman. I used to have
confidence in those straight noses
on our small silver coins, but now
I never know what they will get me

EUROPEAN TOWNS
CRY FOR MORE
PEACE MEETINGS
French and Swiss Towns
Eager to Be Chosen as
Meeting Places of
Diplomats.
1
Pans. Sept. 18. There will be at
least 10 more conferences before
peace is finally restored to Europe.
The 10, however, are needed not to
regulate the' dispute between the al
lies and Germany or Russia, but the
little war between French re-snrts
I which are clamoring for recognition
J by the conferees.
1 So far conferences have been held
at Paris, London, San Remo. Bou
logne, Hythe, Brussels and Spa. The
1 .. . . 1 , 1 1 r f 1 -
next is scueuuiea ior ueneva, Swit
zerland, but there will probably be
a series of pourparlers at Boulogne
and Hythe and elsewhere first. Mr.
Lloyd George has already traveled
more than 4,000 miles at the expense
of British taxpayers in journeying to
pleasant resorts to discuss peace and
more time has been taken up in trav
eling, by several days, than has been
absorbed in 'talking over the peace
itself.
Clamor for Meetings.
Now -other resorts are clamoring
for conferences. Among them are
Cannes, Aix-les-Bains, Vichy, Monte
Carlo, Nice, Mentone, Biarritz, Vit
tel, Paris-Plage, Trouville and Din-
ard. Deauville is trying to shoo the
conference away, because hotel room
has already been booked up until the
end of the season there.
But the majority of other resorts
are having poor seasons. A confer
ence or two, they say, would put
them on their feet.
Profiteers Reap Harvest.
The conferences so far held have
proved, splendid opportunities for the
profiteers. Hotels at Spa doubled
their rates, and the taxis trebled
theirs. ' Geneva is already preparing
for the windfall. Air companies are
charging ministers, secretaries and
newspaper correspondents as much
as J?2.50 per mile and getting it
sometimes.
It is estimated that the confer
ence brought 27 ministers, 693 sec
retaries. 1.824 stenographers, 266
newspaper correspondents and about
200 others to Spa. If each one spent
a dailv miniitum of $30 and the fig
ure was nearer $100 in most cases
the tidy little sum the shop and hotel
keepers, not to speak of the taxi
drivers, gathered in per diem was
$90,000, which at current exchange,
is about 1,000,000 Belgian trancs.

Cure for Toothache Found,
, But It Hard On the Eyes
Baltimore, Md., Sept. 10. A new
wav to eet rid of toothache has been
discovered by Mrs. Heresa Kweder,
50 years old, of Mount Winans,
who made the contribution to the
science of dentistry without ever
having taken a course at a dental
college.
Mrs. Kweder had an aching tooth.
She couldn't sleep, and all the home
remedies she knew afforded no re
lief. Finally, she told her husband
if the tooth didn't stop aching she
''would shoot it out." It didn't stop,
whereupon Mrs. Kweder lost pa
tience and made good her threat.
She got a pistol, placed it to Jier

Mrs. Kweder's eye.- She was takei
to St. Agnes' hospital, where physi
cians are doing everything possible
to save the sight of her eye.

GERMAN "STAMP
LAW" MAY MAKE
MARK VALUELESS
Will Mean Loss of Millions by
Foreign Speculators if'
the Law Is
Passed.
By FRANK E. MASON.
Staff Correspondent International News
Son Ice.
Berlin, Sept. 18. German marks
bought up and held by American
speculators may suddenly become so
much worthless paper if a group of
Oerman financiers persuade the
German government to adopt their
proposed "stamp" lawt The stamp
law, successfully carried out in
Czecho-Slovakia, provided a limited
time during which all paper money
had to be presented to the govern
ment tor stamping. Money not in
the country did not receive the
stamp and became worthless for
Czecho-Slovakia.
Herr Erzberger proposed a simi
lar law for Germany. The allies
protested vigorously because it
meant the loss of millions of paper
marks held in their countries by
speculators, so Herr Erzberger
dropped the matter.
Export at Standstill. ,
The German finance ministry es
timated that 20,000,000,000 paper
marks were being held in foreign
countries July 1. Foreign speculators
manipulating their mark holdings
drove the value of the mark so
rapidly to a comparative high point
that it has brought down German
export business to a standstill. For
eign manipulation has resulted in
the German finance ministry becom
ing absolutely helpless in their ef
forts to regulate German exchange
by controlling imports and exports.
When a group of American finan
ciers who had a pool of more than
1.000,000,000 marks threatened to
drive the mark up to 5 cents and
then to dump their holdings and let
the mark crash, a few advisers of the
finance ministry concluded that their
most effective weapon is to invali
date the American holdings by giv
ing 40 to 60 days in which to stamp
German money. It woud be imoos-
sible to return anv laree nrooortion
of the 20,000,000,000 within this time,
and Germany would not only wipe
out the speculators, but would wipe
out with them a large puart of Ger
many's debt expressed in their
wholesale printing of marks.
German Optimists.
The stamp law advocates are pen
erally the optimists who believe Ger
many will come -back financially
ivithout crashing to absolute bank
ruptcy. Another group of financiers
also represented in the finance mm
istry believe that Germany is now
bankrupt and that her only salvation
lies in taking the whole world into
partnership m her indebtedness,
They go on the theory that creditors
mav close out a small rlehtnr thrnii
bankruptcy, but that when a man
I owes too much and his debts are on
a large scale, the "creditors must
finance him and do not dare make
use of the bankruptcy court.
Flour Mill to Be Built
To Handle Alaskan Wheat
Portland, Ore., Sept. 18. A lo
cal milling house has sold a flour
mill to be installed 175 miles south
of the Arctic circle, in Alaska. This
will be the first flour mill to be sent
so far north. The acreage of wheat
in Alaska has been increasing so
steadily and the Department of Ag
riculture has been so successful in
developing a hardy wheat which
matures in 90 days, that the grow
ers, have felt the need of a mill. The
plant, which is a steam operated
mill, will be shipped to Seattle,
thence by steamer to St. Michael,
south of Nome, where it wilLbe car
ried bv boat up the Yukon river, 836
miles to the mouth ' of the Tanana

ABSINTHE BACK
IN PARIS: SOLD
TO AMERICANS
Forbidden -Drink Sold to
Yankee Tourists for
Large Prices In All
Cafes.
- By NEWTON C PARKE.
Paris, Sept. 18. The "Green God
dess" has come back to Paiis. In
any of the big cafes of the boule
vards, as well as m the less elegant
bars of the side streets, the waiters
ill, if you happen to be an Ameri
can and appear to have the price, of
fer you a bottle of absinthe tor 35
or 40 francs. Just now it is the firm
belief of everybody connected with
cafes and bars that every American
in Paris is here for one sole pur
pose to enjoy a drink. Moreover,
barmen and cafe waiters are unani
mous in believing that all these
Americans are absinthe fiends.
As a matter of fact, despite the
law passed before the outbreak of
the war prohibiting the 'nian'ifacture
or sale of the once popular ap
petizer, anybody who cares for it
can obtain all the absinthe he de
sires. Sometimes it is sold as
anisette, which it tesembles n color
and in the change it undergoes when
water is dripped into the glass in
the approved fashion. You can, if
you are known and considered
"safe," even buy a bottle at a drug
store with regular medical indica
tions of the number of spoonfuls
which will cure your thirst In the
old days when the acrid odor of
absinthe floated up and down the
length of the boulevards at the "ap
petizer hour," people having re
lerred to the drink as a "Pernod,"
from the name of the manufacturer.
Nowadays they ask for a "Pernaud,"
which has the same sound, or a
"Pernoz," with the "z" pronounced.
It is all merely camouflaged ab
sinthe. In the police courts there is
scarcely a day without several cases
of "absinthe jags" before the
judges. The signs are unmistak
able. Senator de Lamarzellc author
of the law prohibiting the sale of
absinthe, drew the attention of the
Senate the other day to the re
crudescence of absinthe drinking in
Paris. He said the manufacturers of
the forbidden drink make no secret
of it. The senator even showed a
poster which represents a tall glass
half filled with the "green fairy,"
with the regulation spoon and lump
of sugar on top. This poster is safd
to have been spread broadcist over
France recently. By the side of the
glass is the word "enfin" (at last).
Senator Lamarzelle declared that if
the present law does not confer on
the courts sufficient power to deal
with the absinthe traffic he will sub
mit a new law to the Senate.
