Former Em press Augusts Victoria died here this morning at I o'clock. By strange coincidence the end came just one year after she suffered her first serious attack of heart disease. It was while she was preparing to enter the house of Doorn, the pres ent home of the former emperor ot Oermany, after a long residence at Amerongen, that' she was strloken with, what at the time was believed to be a fatal attack. That was oa April ,11, l20. i For a' few days there were repofta that her deatth waa momentarily expected -when she " accompanied . her husband to Doorn on Jtfay IS. -f- These heart attacks recurred at frequent Intervals, "each aapplng her vitality and nullifying the measures taken by specialists to restore her health. When her son, former Prince-' Joachim, committed ' suicide in Berlin but July she was in nb a serious condition that the newa of his death waa kept from her for a long time and it is said she never learned that her son killed himself. Late last autumn the former em press' condition gradually became worse. . On several occasions her children were called to Doorn but her strength wis such that ehe ral lied bravely when the end was be lieved imminent. - Since the first of this year it had been known that she 'was "gradually sinking. ' , The former emperoi and, Prince Adelbert were at the bedside when the former empress died. They, had been called by Haesner, who attend ed the former empress thruout her residence In Holland. : , ' The death came as a shock to dwellers in. Doorn Castle as 'during the last week the patient's condition had seemed less serious. Neverthe less last Batuday Dr. Haesner,. after consultations with Prof. Hymens, the Dutch heart specialist, thought It advisable to send a message to Princess Victoria. Louise the only daughter of the former emperor "and empress; calling1 her to ;JJoorn-.The princess, who then ..was InV Vienna, had not reached Doorn when death came to the ei-empress this morn ing. ' -ir-: ,f L&at night the patient -was only semi-conscious. She was kept from suffering by frequent hypodermic In jections but her breathing appeared to become hourly more difficult. At PS o'clock this morning Dr. Haesner assisted the attending nurse and Counteacrvon Kellar, an old friend of the former' empress, to adjust the patient's position so that she might become more comfortable. As the day "broke breathing be came still more-aifncult for the fail ing patient and her pulse grew It then was evident to thir physi cians that the -end was near, and Dr. Haesner warned former Emperor William and Prince Adelbert of Us approach. ' The: ex-empress became unconsci ous and her breathing became faint er and fainter until life at 8 o'clock left her frail body. y , The ex-emperor stood at the bed side with bent head as death came to his consort and he remained in the room for some time afterwards, Ex-Crown Prince Notified Wierengen, Holland, April Ii.- Ex-Crown Prince William Frederick was informed early today of the death of his mother.

Cteetal te Twie-Oitr Sentinel and Falls' oelpMa Publlo Leaser.) Washington, April 11. In his at tack on the league ot Nations man date system, Seoretary ' Hughes has found allies in an unexpected quar terthe parliament of Great Britain. Unbeknown in the United 8tates, except in Initiated diplomatic cir cles, the system ts being subjected to violent Are in London. It ts assailed aa subversive of the elementary prin ciples of the British .constitution. TheXLloyd George government Is charged, in accepting the mandate scheme In the name of tho British nation, with outraging- the, rights of the commonwealth on a scale com parable with the excesses of Charles I.- .. .The government's - critics, de manding that parliament- before It is too late be consulted with regard to mandates, express publto gratifica tion to tho. Congress of the United States for fulfilling the Cromwelllan role, of protector. , The campaign against, the Lloyd! George govern ment wat opened, in March before Secretary Hughes' position officially was; made known, -but. America's anti-mandate views were well known In England and basically are upheld and- approved. . . r The Publo Ledger correspondent has been put in .possession of .the principal facts in, the British' malf date nght. It grows out of the gov ernment's bill appropriating $141, (00,000 for "mandate expenses1', in the Near. - East Mesopotamia 'and Palestine. As .has happened . on more than one occasion in British history,' ths opsnlng gun in th bat tle waa fired in "The Times" through the columns of which Lord Isling ton, i- former governor of Mew - Zea land, poured a merciless broadside into Lloyd George, Lord : Islington declared he resorted to : newspaper publicity because of the government's evasion when he attempted to bring the subject to discussion in the House of Lords. . w s-i --. 'Lord Bryoe, 'former British , am bassador to the United States, sup ported Lord Islington's main conten tions. "The Times" willingly lent it self to the crusade, because of Lord NorthoUffe's readiness to , join any vendetta likely to bring his arch- oa, Lloyd George, to book. For the past three .sks the campaign has been' In full swing. - Probably a true was called when the British Industrial "war'' broke out but when: Pownlng street's preoccupations permit to tackle Secretary Hughes' note ot this week,- the Isllngton-Bryce-Nortbcliffe artillery undoubtedly will be turned on again, with a view to shelling the mandate party out of its trenches. Lord Islington says Great Britain falls to realise that it is "face to face with a constitutional principle of the - first Importance.1' Lord Bryce, In a 1 futile debate in the House of Lords on March 14th, made the; point that by exercise of the league mandates Britain might "be drawn into complications with other governments." Evidently , the cele rated author of "The ' Amerloan Commonwealth" had sasaoious vision of the protest Seoretary Hughes waa about to utter. The foreign secre tary. Lord Curson, replying to Lord Islington's demand for light oa the wnoie manaau -mystery' pleaded before parliament "It would not have been compatible with the posi tion assigned to the Council of the league if the British -government had thrown the mandates on the tabid of parliament in eaah country, submitted them- to . criticism there and then handed over to the league wnatever had been the result." Lord Curson went on to say the Brit ish mandate for Mesopotamia "had not been merely shown to seen by and advised upon.,; by many persons in- ureat Britain, out snown to tne French and Italians." Lord Isling ton scathingly attacked that admis sion, declaring, "Every authority is apparently worthy of consideration. provided it be not the legislature of ureal tjniain. - x With a view te arousing . nation wide protest - aaainst the sovern ment's mandate policy. Lord Isling ton wrote, to '-The Times" as lol tows: . . . The government -sontemnlates a procedure in regard to these man dates which will only leave to parlia ment their consideration after the mandatee have been decided noon by the Council of the League of Na tion. Lord Curxon's statement Im plies that the League of Nations (an international body created about two years ago)- is-ttow clothed with such constitutional powers of its own that it would be Improper and Indeed un constitutional to force parliament to intervene in regard to matters ot vital political and econotnlo import ance to its own eountry. . i venture to suggest tnat tms aoe trine, If permitted to be established, will strike a deadlier blow at the first principle in our ' constitutional system. It will compel us to shoulder wnetner we tike it or not, mat vast responsibility and th heavy, expen diture entailed, without securing the effective Intervention of parliament " Surely the right of the executive to bind the country to tho terms of th treaty without the previous au thority of parliament is being pushed to an altogether unprecedented and unwarranted extent by thie proce dure. There Is no parallel la his tory to the kind of transaction in volved ia th offerina and accept ance of a mandate from aa Interna tional authority. . The Americas legislature have authority under the constitution to accept or reject a treaty and they have exercised their power to reject n. we nave tert our executive ' in ' poaeeaoioa of their treaty making power but it Is our duty to w that they do not abuse It by taking advantage of an un paralleled al tnat ion to involve ue la reeponeibllltiee which never wss fore seen at the time.
