Collection Includes One Cut From
Horn of Rhinoceros.
The inclusion of a number of walk-
ing sticks which have belonged to
famous men in the British Red Cross
fund sale held not long ago hi London
is a reminder of the interesting col-
lections which have been formed. King
George perhaps has the most notable
collection. His Majesty possesses no
fewer than 2,000 walking sticks, which
once belonged to his father, who, like
many famous men, regarded his stick
almost as a friend, and was rarely
seen without one.
His favorite was regularly carried
by Queen Victoria. This remarkable
stick was fashioned from a branch of
the Boscobel oak which once hid
Charles II. when escaping from Crom-
well's soldiers. Queen Victoria had it
altered somewhat, and a little idol
from Seringapatum was inserted as a
knob.
Another notable walking stick of
the royal collection, which also belong-
ed to the late King Edward, is cut
from the single horn of a white rhino-
ceros, a species nem, ; extinct, from
which the heraldic unicorn is suppos-
ed to have originated. This horn stick
was given more than 40 years ago by
a Kaffirchief to Louis Solomon, a
South African pioneer, and inclosed
in a case of native bamboo, was pre-
sented to King Edward when he opens
ed the South African exhibition - of
1907. e

I has been ab-
sent from Germany aln oet all the time
since the beginning of the war, liter-
nlly living in semi -exile in Switzer-
land.
Even regardless of the au'alome of
this phase of the great struggle, it is
believed by many to be certain that
the hour is imminent for the. Prince
to resume the Imperial Chancellor-
ship. ncee•lior-
ship.
In well informed circles. no doubt is
entertained that Prince von Misdate
will be at the head of affei.r ; when
the day for making peace is at hand.
He has had no part in any of the
acrimonious controversial •iuestkale,
in the ruthless methods of applying
submarine warfare or in the throw-
ing of bombs from Zeppelins on wo-
men and children. He will return, as
it were, with a clean slate, as a man
who has been absent, and who, on
coming back, can undertake to some
extent the role of mediator between
his own country and those it has
tried in vain to ruin. .
As 'a diversion of public sentiment
in Germany, when it is realized that
the hope of reopening a road to Paris
or that the rolling up of the French
line is impossible of accomplishment,
it is said that even the great general
staff will welcome the return of
Prince von Buelow. And yet between
Prince von Buelow and the great gen-
eral staff no love certainly has been
lost.
The Prince when at the head of the
German Administration was accused
by the military party of being too
radical, of weakening the obedience
of the people to the State as repre-
seneed by the army, and of allowing
democratic and even Socialistic ideas
to spread.
The middle classes now recall that
the Prince was the great promoter of
German industries and the greatest
single factor in developing German
commerce. The Prince has begun to
loom up like a savior to whom the
nation may burn in its distress and
perplexity. No other person .hie Ger-
many of conspicuous eminence is in
a position to receive any considera-
tion from the entente Governments.
Germany Needs Him.
In connection with the prospective
return of Prince von Buelow, a pro-
minent personage in Switzerland,
whose name is withheld, is quoted in
the Paris Journal as . saying:
"Prince von Buelow is in retire-
mentsimply because he is reserving
himself for a great task. He is the
only political hope of modern Ger-
many. It was he who started - the
Liberal empire in spite of all opposi-
tion, andit was 'he - who brought
about a new era for the empire by
starting a line of policy which would
have created a greater .Germany, but
which the incapacity . of violent lead-
ers of the military party upset in a
few weeks. -

to President Kruger, and suddenly it
was learned that the Emperor',- tele-
. grams were being countersigned by
Prince von Buelow---a humiliating
j check, the purpose of which was taken
in Europen capital. to be a guarantee..
of German di..,vretion and good sense
in public acts in the future.
• The Emperor uttered a rush state-
' meat about the "yellow peril," which
proved highly offensive to the Jap-
anese, and- Prince von Buelow in
September, 1905, made a public state-
ment rectifying the matter. For every
single open indiscretion which he
committed the Kaiser found himself
openly taken to task by his Chancel-
lor.
In 1907 the latter referred in his
Reichstag speech to the "Court Cam-
arilla" and in the following year he
publicly referred to the blazing indis-
crebion of the Kaiser's letter to Lord
Tweedmouth.
A few months later occurred the
crowning indiscretion, the interview
given by the Kaiser for publication
in an English newspaper. Prince
von Buelow immediately offered his
- resignation.
On retiring he proposed Dr. von
Bethmann-Hollweg as his successor
and the latter was made Chancellor.
, The Government, however, soon pass-
ed out of his hands to a considerable
extent, as successive Ministers of
Foreign Affairs usurped the admin-
istrative position which Prince von
Buelow had held.
When the Prince retired he chose
Ronie as. his future;'home, his. wife
_being an Italian princess. They se=
lected the palace known as Villa
Malta and renamed - it Villa of the
Roses.

favored for these outside blouses.
Tiny buttons, steel, gilt or gunmetal,

are about the only trimming for these

Collars end cuff's are interesting di'.

fit tightly about the wrist, flaring be-

2.000 GIRL BUS CONDUCTORS.
Large Number Now Employed By
London Company.
The London General Omnibus Com.
pany have now 300 young women as
"conductresses" on their vehicles or
in training, but before long it is ex-
pected that at least 1,000 will be -re-
quired. Even that may not exhaust
the demand, for there are some 1,400
conductors liable to be called up in
the labor married groups. In that
event the company will require smite -
thing like 2,000 young women to take
the places of the men. Most of the
girls had previously been in domestic
service. Their training occupies on
an average fourteen days, and during
that period they receive a food al-
lowance of two shillings a clay. When
they start on their duties they receive
the male conductor's minimum wage,
Which averages about £2 a week.

received." -
