MAKE GOOD USE OF PALACES
Royal Residences in Europe Hava
Been Converted Into Hospital, for
Wounded Soldiers.
The nm'Hsitics of wnr have tratiR
formi'il (hi! uses of the royal pnloccs
of Europe. Tlu-y nro nearly all
turned into hospitals. Such are the
Winter piilnee on the Neva, the
Kremlin at Moscow, Tsarskoe Selo
and Liv.nlia, and in Italy not only
the Quirinul and Queen Margheri
ta's palace in the Via Vencta, but
the queen is directing a military
hosphul in a wing of the Vatican.
Not only have Verona and Monza
been put at the disposal of the war
office, but the pope has done- the Bamc
with Castel Gandolfo.
The Elysec palace is given over to
war work, and Buckingham palace is
not a hospital simply because there
is no need for it, so the king and
queen use it largely to receive sol
diers and to entertain the wounded.
The palaces at Berlin and else
where in Germany are all turned
into military hospitals, and the Ger
mans have devoted King Albert's
palace at Brussels to the same use.
The English turned the kaiser's
stately pleasure palace, the Aclullei
on, on the Ionian island of Corfu,
in Greece, to the same purpose for
the benefit of the Serbian army.
The wife of Ferdinand has made
part of his palace at Sofia into a
military hospital, but the Austrian
invaders of Montenegro used the pal
ace at Cctinjo as barracks.
MADE HIT WITH MANSFIELD
Actor Quick to See Good Piece of
"Business" In Error, of One of
His Supporters.
Now that Arnold Daly is reviving
"Beau Brummell," various anec
dotes of the late Kichard Mansfield,
who created the title role, are being
revived. V. J. Ferguson, who acted
the valet in the original production
and who is now one of the pirates in
"Treasure 'Island," has remembered
one.
In tho character of the valet it was
Ferguson's place to hand the Beau
his gloves, his stick, and finally his
hat. Upon the opening night he prof
fered the hat to Mansfield, turned
the wrong way around. Had the
Beau put on the lint in the way it
was handed to him and strolled down
Picadilly or Bond street, the faux
pas might have created a scandal.
When Ferguson discovered his error
he turned pale under his make-up.
Mansfield was quick to grasp the
situation, and with one of his most
courtly bows gave the hat back to the
valet, so that he might turn it
around, which Ferguson did with
pantomimic apology.
As .Mansfield put on the hat and
passed out of the door he whispered
to Ferguson : "That's a good piece of
business; keep it in."
LISTENING OVER TELEPHONE.
Listening in on the telephone is
not a new thing, nor is it peculiar to
New York. A newspaper corre
spondent in Dover, England, was
summoned under the defense of the
realm act the other day for attempt
ing to elicit information and for
communicating information concern
ing the movement and disposition of
troops which might he of use to Eng
land's enemies. Tho defendant, it
was alleged, gave important informa
tion to a press agency over the tele
phone. In accordance with instruc
tions, the telephone supervisor lis
tened to the conversation and took it
down in writing. For the defense,
however, it was contended that the
information was commonplace. The
magistrates upheld this view and dis
missed the summons.

RAILROAD
WAGES
Shall they be determined by
Industrial Warfare or
Federal Inquiry?
.To the American Public:
Do you believe in arbitration or indus
trial warfare?
The train employes on all the railroads
are voting whether they will give their leaders
authority to tie up the commerce of the
country to enforce their demands for a 100
million dollar wage increase.
The railroads are in the public service
your service. This army of employes is in
the public service your service. s
You pay for rail transportation 3 billion
dollars a year, and 44 cents out of every
dollar from you goes to the employes.
On all the Eastern Railroads in 1915. seventy-five per cent of the
train employe earned these wages (lowest, highest, and average
of all) as shown by the payrolls " ,

Brakemen 1018 858 990
A100 million dollar wage increase for
men in freight and yard service (less than
one-fifth of all employes) is equal to a 5 per
cent advance in all freight rates.
The managers of the railroads, as trustees
for the public, have no right to place this
burden on the cost of transportation to you
without a clear mandate from a public tri
bunal speaking for you.
The railroads have proposed the settle
ment of this controversy either under the
existing national arbitration law, or by refer
ence to the Interstate Commerce Commis
sion. This offer has been refused by the
employes' representatives.
Shall a nation-wide strike or an
investigation under the Gov
ernment determine this issue?
