European Rulers, Always in
Peril of Death, Doubly So
Now That Racial Hatred
Runs High.
Uneasy lies the head that wears a
crown Is tiuo at any time, but In war
it Is especially so. Since war was dc
claied by Fiance, Russln, Germany,
England and Austria-Hungary, tho
iuIcih of thef-e nations hac been guarded
night and day with doublo vigilance. It
would surprise tho world not at all to
hear tit the assassination at this time of
ono or another of tho crowned heads.
Though In all piobablllty such an act
would have lllllo or no effect on the
geneuil war, thero aro fjnatlc3 In every
nation who might think that to kill the
ailer of the enemy would demoralise his
armies.
Of lato 3 ears the courts of Eutopo
apparently liavo been converted Into

It was the assabsinatlon of Archduko
Francis Ferdinand, nephew of Emperor
Francis Joseph and heir to tho throno
of Austria-Hungary, that precipitated
tho present titanic struggle.
Assasslnntlons within the memory of
tho present generation Include a Sultan
of Turkey, a ""zr and a Grandduko of
Kussia, a Shah of Persia, an Empress of
Austria-Hungary, a King of Italy, h King
of Cliccco, a King and Queen of Servla,
n King and a Crown I'rlnce of Portugal,
n President of Franco nnd an Archduke
of Austria-Hungary, with his wife.
"No crown of Europe seems to be safe,"
Fnther Vouglian, an eminent clergyman
of London, said tho other day. "It now
requires a hero or heroine to wear one."
Thi iccent assassination of tho heir to
the tin ono ot the 11u.il Monarchy fut
iiishes the freshest case in point, and it
lenilitils tho world that i'oi 10 jrars tho
House uf Hapsburg. thn irlijiilns dynasty
uf Austria, haa been little moro than a
rovnl shambles.
"Faiowoll to youth," said Francis
Joseph when ho ascended the throno.
His words weto recalled tho following
year when a son of tho Countess Karolyl
was slain as a robal in the race war with
Hungary. The Countess uttered this
fateful curse upon the Emperor's head:
Jfay his happiness be blasted. May
his family bo exterminated. May ho
be smitten In the persons of thoso he
loves, May his llfo bo wrecked and
may hla children be brought to ruin.
The curse haa been fulfilled with a
completeness that almost staggers the
imagination. Tho Emperor's brother,
Maximilian, waa shot by his own sub
jects In Mexico. His eldest sou and heir.
Crown Prlnco Rudolph, was found dead
In a hunting lodge, presumably a suicide.
His slstcr-lndaw, tho Duchess d'AIencon,
was burned to death In ,i Paris fire. His
Wile. Empress Elizabeth, was assassinat
ed at Ooneva. His eldest brother. Arch
duke John, was lost at sea. His nephew,
Archduke Franois Ferdinand, was as
sassinated. That the Emperor himself should have
eluded death seems nothing short of
miraculous. On many occasions hs has
been In imminent poril of his llfo and
once was stabbed on the ramparts of
Vienna by a Hungarian.
ITAtiT'S ItUEHH.
Tho juler of Italy, Austria's neighbor,
has fared little bettor. King Humbert,
after escaping the knife and the pistol
many times, was finally shot to death
In 1000. As Crown Prince, Victor Emanuel
had only just escaped from assassins
while on his way to Vienna to attend the
funeral of the assassinated Empress
Elizabeth. Ever since he ascended the
throno tii-J life has been In great jeopardy.
Pei haps the most uneasy crowned head
In all Euiopo Is that of Czar Nicholas II
of Russia, Of ulna Czars, four have been
assassinated by Nihilists. Countless at
tempts have been frustrated to remove
tlio present Russian ruler. Bombs have
been found In the palace. Trains on
which It was supposed his Imperial
Majesty waa riding have been blown up
and shots liavo been fired at the ruler,
but ho has always escaped.
Many attempts also have been made
to Mil King Alfonso of Spain. Six of
these clforts have been recorded. On
tho last occasion the would-bo assassin
cnoio i uo uiuijue mea oc concealing u
bumb In a bouquet of rloweis, which was
handed to the King as he rode through
the streets after a military review.
Only ono attempt to assassinate Kaiser
Wllhelm of Germany and this was not
confirmed. Tho alleged Incident wus not
related until long after Us occurrence
It was said then that the German news
papers were forbidden at the time to
publish the etorj.
So far as known no attempt has evc
been made to assassinate King George V
of England, and no attacks were ever re
ported on King Edward YII, or hla
Uier, Quwa Victoria,
Recognition of tho fact that tho admin
istration nnd enforcement of labor laws
luvolvo milch mote than a mcie system
of detecting violations of law Is becom
ing moro and more apparent In efforts
for tho protection ot tho working classes.
Tho establishment of dellnlto rules and
standards for the safe.ty and health of
workers, higher specialization of tho func
tions of Inspectors, and tho creation In
a number of States of Industrial com
missions with largo powers nio Indica
tions of tho progress made. In view of
tho attention tho subject In receiving In
our. own country, tho expcrlenco of for
eign countries In tho administration ot
labor laws and factory Inspection Is of
peculiar Interest, and u report on this
subject, covering Great Britain, Germany,
France, Austria, Switzerland and Del
glum, which hns Just been published ttS"
Uulletln No. 112 of tho United Slates
Ilureau of Labor Statistics ot tho Depart
ment of Labor, Is both timely and In
structive. In the countries named labor laws date
back to tho beginning ot tho 10th cen
tury, but the llrst mcasuics for their en
forcement wcro not passed until 1S33, whon
factory Inspection was established In Eng
land, whllo similar action was not taken
eisewuero until IS74, when Franco cre
ated a labor Inspection department, fol
lowed by Switzerland In 1S77, Germany in
1STS, Austrian In 1SS3 and Belgium In 1SS3.
INSPECTION VITALLY IMPORTANT.
While experience has shown that labor
laws without provisions for enforcement
arc practically futile as piotcctlvo meas
ures, emphasis must also bo placed upon
tho Importance of efficiency In tho ad
ministrative machinery, Us scopo and
functions, Its methods of works, tho char
acter of Its personnel and the provision
of dcfluito standards as to safety and
sanitation. In only ono of these phases
of admlnlslrativo work was marked su
periority found in tho countries visited
ns compared with tho Fnited States. This
was in the training and character of the
Inspectorial force. In Europe the posi
tion of factory Inspoctor can bo secured
only after long technical training and
sevcro tests. Tho occupation Is classed
as a profession junking with law, medi
clno nnd engineering. Tenure of ofTIcc Is
secure, and pensions aio given for long
service nnd old age. Men who seek these
positions aio of exceptional chaiactT
and attainments, and their work Is cor
respondingly cfTlclont.
In France and Belgium the whole work
of labor-law enforcement Is iscnteicd In
tho labor inspection departments, but in
England the local authorities have Juris
diction over tho enforcement of all san
itary provisions In workshops. In Ger
many tho lactory laws aio administered
by tho Industiial Inspectors, inspectors
of insuranco associations, and polico au
thorities, and in Au&trl.i hv ,h i.i,
trial inspectors and tho local Industrial
authorities. In Switzerland theie Is di
vision of jurisdiction bcic-eon the Federal
factory Inspectors and the cantonal In
spectors, whllo tho enforcement of tin
laws is entirely In tho h.iiiil nt n, i,i
police and tho cantonal authoiitles.
Medical factory Inspection is ttill an un
developed field. England and Dclglum be
ing tho only countries having beparato
medical divisions, and even there the
number of physicians Is small.
Women inspectors number :0 in Eng
land, whrro they occupy the unique posi
tion of being practically Independent in
their work and functions. Franco has
eighteen women Inspectors, Austria 3,
Belgium 1, Prussia and Switzerland nnt
and tho Gorman States but few. Outsldo
of England the work of women Inspectors
Is limited to email shops where, women
and children are emplojcd.
WORKINGAIEN INSPECTORS.
Thero Is great demand among tho labor
ing classes for worklngmen nu-poctois.
This has met with conldrtnue opposi
tion from sumo ot the CioM'imiients as
well as fjom legiilar iiisjxvtois 'Ung
land haa no worltincmeu lusecioi, but
their functions aro limited, their salaries
low, and their status entirely ill I fore nt
from that of regular inspectors. Prussia,
France, and Switzerland have no such In
spectors as yet, and thero aro only a fow
In Austria, Belgium, and somo of the
German Stales.
Two extremes of organization aro found,
tho highly centralized and tho decentraliz
ed. England furnishes an example of tlio
former, with a chief Inspector, division
Inspectors, district Inspectors, and tho
lower grades of Infpcctors. In England Is
also found much specialization of func
tions anions medical inspectors, danger
ous trades Inspector, electrical Inspec
tor, etc.
In tho Inspection departments of Prus
sia and Switzerland which aro examples
of tho decentralized tjpe, there aro no
chief Inspectors, each dlstilct Inspector
having llio whole field of Industrial In
spection under his jurisdiction, Austria
has a central Industiial inspector, but his
supet vision does not extend ns far ns
that ot tho chief Inspector In England,
In France there Is practically no head to
the Inspection department, tho division
Inspectors being chatged with much of
the Inspectorial work.
Little pi ogress In scientific standardiza
tion uf safety and sanitation has been
made In Europe and labor laws In many
Instances fall to give exact standards for
tho guidance of Inspectors and for the.
U"o of manufacturers and emploje.s. in-t-pcctlon
tn detect vlolallond of laws Is still
the method used by most inspectors, and
most European Inspection departments
nio far behind tho more progressive dc
paitmeiits In the United .States In tho
matter of keeping records ot Inspections,
violations, etc.
BIRDS THAT CHOSS THE SEA
How such tiny mlgiants as goldcrests
cross the sea has often been a mstery
to many, although It has always been
known that they sometimes alight upon
tho fishing boats In the North Sea to
rest and break the long Journey.
Redwings and fieldfares leave their
neatlm? haunts In Scandinavia nml nr-
"five. In Hocks to feed on tho hips und
liaws in our hedgerows, or the berries
of tho elder rowan tree, and even the
mistletoe. Following In their wake como
t Iij moi lilt, tho great gray shrike, tho
goldciest, the short-eared owl and others,
Including the woodcocks, which, on ar
rival after crossing tho North Sea, aro
often so exhausted as to suffer them
selves to bo ovortaken and picked up by
hand.
Strange as It may seem, the larger
migratory birds sometimes give a lift to
smaller and weaker travelers, who,
availing themselves of the broad plat
form afforded by their expanded pinions
and the soft plumage of the dorsal
feathers, among which they nestle nnd
hold on with their tiny feet, aro carried
across tho North Sea In comfort and
alight In safety on our British soil.
In this way a goldcn-crcsted wren was
actually observed to alight from tho
back of a short-eared owl on Its arrival
from Norway to our shores. Tlt-Blts,
RAISE FOODSTUFFS
Whatever Happens, Food Is Never a
Superfluous Luxury.
Llvo men must cat, no matter what
elso may happen. Food must bo had
for 100.00O.0CO population ot this country,
with much to spare for another 100,000.
000, at least, In tho countilcs now at
war.
Only ono European .country among
those now working mutual destruction
of tho ordinary means of living produces
enough food for Itself, even In time of
pface. AVhatcvcr may bo the outcome
of tho war, there will be an Immediate
demand for food, a demand that will In
crease the. longer war Is waged, a de
mand that is HUely to end tho war.
"With all channels of supplies from out
sldo closed, with half a dozen nations in
the condition rapidly taking form In
Europe, we may look for a simultaneous
movement In all tho countries by the men
nnd women not hi tlio fighting ranks for
enough food to keep thcrn alive. They
will not ask why food la scarce; they
will not hesltato to take it wherever it
may be found.
The armed forces may possibly be
compelled to turn their weapons against
their own peoplo In riot and rapine un
paralleled in history. In the opinion of
tho Manufacturers' Record,
Famine will put an end to fighting.
Then will como tho call upon this coun
try for food. If wo have abundance,
the call will bo answered, with no dis
tress on our part. If wo liavo a short
age, or if wo havo only sufficient for
our own necessities, the response to the
foreign demand will be made at the ex
pcuso of our own people. We must
have no shoitagc.
We must plant corn, using corn gen
erally for foodstuffs. Our farm possi
bilities have by no means been exhaust
ed. The United States has 1.141,509,000
acres of land suitable for tilled crops
nnd S6l,5T0,00O acres suitable for non
tllled crops. "Wo nro tilling only 312,

Aircraft of nil kinds aro so new and

ot Interest attaches to them In tho pres

tho enemy Is discussed In an nrtlclo In
tho special war number of the Scien

which the following extract Is derived:
No one can tell exactly how efficient
aircraft will be In the present war. Dut
It Is certain that battles must be moro
carefully planned. The cavalry raids
which marked our Ovll War, the hidden
movements of a mobile force, so well
handled that It eould even defeat larger
numbers, will be quite Impossible, sim
