(To be continued,) Pirate :Who SingleefiandeclCaptured British Ship. Ernest Schiller, the German "pirate" who single-handed captured the Brit- ish steamabip "Matapo," has been brought ba New York, the authorities fearing his being rescued. Schiller now admits' his name is Clarence Hud- son, his father being English, his mother German; he being born in Petrograd. With four other men he plotted to board an English steamer and capture treasure on board, but having taken too much intoxicating liquor, lee boarded the Matapo and hold up the captain and crew when the vessel was well out at sea. Ile was so disgusted with the meagre loot on board that when off the Delaware eoasb he ordered the captain to put him ashore; where upon landing he was disarmed and arrested. Schiller's or Hudson's only fear is that he be tuned over to the British authorities Who he is convinced would hang him from a yard arm for piracy on the high seas. A "ROYALRELIEF " FUND. Mrs. C, Vanderbilt Raising Gift for Queen, Czarina and President. With a plan n of war relief that is unique even in these days, Mrs. Lor - re f nelius Vanderbilt has been going m- among her friends in New York and bee Philadelphia inviting them to centri- ei- bubo toward what might be called a old "royal relief fund." Mrs. Vanderbilt is endeavoring to collect $800,000, which.she intends to present—in gold, in equal shaves '—to Queen Mary of England, the Czarina of Russia and President Poin- care of France, those rulers to be at liberty to devote the money to what- ever purpose they choose. Contributions of $10,000—no more, no less—are being asked for. Only those of . unquestioned social position—and, naturally, of ample means—have been asked by the pro- moter of the plan to subscribe. It is understood that the fund has reached $140,000.

Anyone who goes through the vast! armament works—which are now situated ex more than one part of Eng- land—of Messrs.

There is no slackness in any branch or in any shop, and in some den art- ments the work is strenuous in the ex -i Mame. The effort of this firm is a' fine example of the quickening of the; production brought about by the war, and the adaptability of a great en-; gineering establishment to war condi-. tions. Formerly, while an enormous busi-' ness in armaments was done by the firm, they were also engaged in gen- eral engineering work. On the out- break of war their workshops were immediately transformed; bridge - making machinery was scrapped for, gun -making plant, motor car works gave way to gauge factories, old workshops were enlarged and new; ones built, new machinery of the lat-' est type, in many cases automatic,' was installed, and a general speed- ing -up process adopted. Foreign war work had to be side-tracked in favor; of British requirements. By a fortunate coincidence Arm./; strongs were putting down new; equipment and making arrangements for increased output just before .the, war began. Their new shipbuilding, yard, which cost over a million, was just ready. This company was there- fore able to produce munitions there., increased scale before other private firms. Ib was not long before the whole establishment was thoroughly, reorganized and equipped ready to cope with large scale production. The result is that the output of certain articles of war equipment has been increased by two or three hundred Per cent. up person ie familiar with the details of that ghastly story, It relates how the S Nabob S ur b ala Dowlah shut up 146 Britons, captured by him in Calcutta Fort, in a small, unventilated dungeon and how, after a night of agony from heat, thirst, and lack of • air, only twenty-three were found alive next morning. For more than 150 years the story has been implicitly believed. Yet now along comes Mr. Little, and proye3, in his "Bengal,, Past and Present," not only that it is not true, but that it could nob possibly be true. Nine persons only were, it appears from contemporary records, confined in the "black -hole," which was really the common prison, and none of these suffered any very great inconveni- ence. The remainder of the garrison numbering some 120, were either !till- ed or wounded in the fighting, and the Iatter were treated by their conquer- ors with every consideration, Similarly, Wellington never said, "TIp Guards, and at 'em!" at Water- loo, nor did Blucher exclaim, on first seeing London, "What a place to sash!" While the phrase, "Providence favors the big battalions," which is usually attributed to Napoleon, is found in the writings of Cicero. Thera neyer was a person named William Tell, and consequently he never shot an apple from his son's head at the bidding of the Austrian tyrant, Gessler. At Waterloo, the commander of Napoleon's Oki Guard is said to have replied to the challenge of surrender pompously: "The Old Guard dies, but n i i doesFrench not surrender. In theie e E nh army, however, #b is a ,tradition that his answer consisted of but one word, not et all fitted for ears polite. Similarly, the Girondins had no last supper together.

There has been no trouble at Arm- strong's on the question of the dilu- tion of labor, The scheme put before the workers by the members of the special commission appointed by the Government to deal with this question, Sir George Croydon Marks, the Rt.
