ROYALTY IS READY FOR A RAIHY DAY King of Greece, Born on Christmas Day Was Poor But Is Rich Now.

(American New (torvlc) Copenhagen. Dec. 24. Kins George I the former Danish prince who has surprised everyone by sitting fast on the wobbly throne of Greence these forty-seven yean past, came nearer to being born on Christmas Day than any other of the sovereigns of Europe. December 24, IMS, Is generally accepted as , the date of his birth, but the record of the royal family of Denmark show that the hour of his advent Into this mundane sphere was almost simultaneous with the birth of Christmas Day In 1S45 and the late King Christian and Queen Louise were often heard to refer to him as their Chrlatmus present. King George apparently has never forgotten the days of his youth, when bis parents, who had not yet been called to the Danish throne, were no toriously poor. At sixty-five years of age the King of Frcece finds himself among tho very wealthiest members of European royalty. His reputation for thrift is such, in fact, that it has been said he still has the first money which came to him after his accession to the throne of Greece in 1S63. However this may be, it is certain that he baa managed to save a tidy sum each year out of his civil list. Much of his savings has been safely invested in realty, while the remainder has been used by the monarch in speculating on the Paris Bourse, in which be has been eminently successful. In recent years be has invested largo sums in American securities. It is an open secret that King George, were it not for consideration of the members of his family would welcome a political upheaval in Greece such as recently deprived the young king of Portugal of his throne. Many times during the last quarter of a century the king of the Hellenes baa been reported on the point of abdicating. That he undoubtedly expects such an event to occur sooner or later is evidenced by the careful preparation be has made for the future. Practically his entire fortune baa been invested outside of Greece and only within the past month or so be has concluded the purchase of two magnificent estates In Denmark, evidently to be used for his own residence when the time comes for him to Anally quit Athens.

" Talk Your Head Off Right Gift to Kaiser by, Germans

(Special Cable from th International! Berlin, Dec 24. The Kaisers Christmas, present from the Father land is an unconditional license to make as many divine right speeches as he likes. It is Impossible to put any other construction on the Kaiser debate, wibch recently occupied the Reichstag, and on the avalanche of press comments whoch has followed. A visitor from Mars dropping In upon the meek and humble session, which discussed the Socialist interpel lation over the Koenigsberg divine right manifesto, could never have believed that It was the same outraged Parliament which condemned the per sonal regime unanimously ana unreservedly only two short years before. Even the Social Democratic spokes men and their radical allies talked In accent nf restraint. As for the rest of the House Conservatives, Catholics and National Liberals, compris ing an overwhelming majority party leaders vied with one another in glori fying the irreproachable conduct of the Kaiser. A radical journal sums up the situ ation in the remark that Germany has been "thrown back" to exactly the same position it occupied before the concessions wrung from the Throne In the dark days of November, 1908. Tho Kaiser, In short. Is himself again. The recent revolt in the Brazilian navy haf made a particularly deep impression in Germany. Several authorities point out that the success of the Rio Janeiro mutineers opens up ominous possibilities for all the navies of the world, and the German admiralty Is urged to consider thoroughly and promptly whether any steps can be taken to obviate the peril of such an outbreak In the fleet of the Kaiser. "Navies generally" says one commentator, "are more prone to rebellion than armies. The German Navy is loyal and patriotic but one never can tell." Nobody wonders at the cropping up of rumors that Police-President von Jagow's position in Berlin is endangered, and that his transfer to another field of activity will follow the conclusion of the Moablt trial which gives every promise of lasting well into the new year. By dint of consummately shrewd tactics, the Social Democratic lawyers who are conducting the defense, have converted the case against the forty insignificant prisoners into a prosecution of the Berlin police force on the charge of systematic brutality. The case for the police has taken such a grave turn that Herr von Jagow has had to resort to the amaz ing extremity of Issuing a public appeal for "Impartial" witnesses willing to testify as to the exemplary conduct of the police in Moablt A scandal which for some tjme past has been smouldering at Berlin University has now broken out in an acute form. Two and a half years ago Ludwlg Bernard, a young 'Kiel Professor of Economics, who had made a name for himself by classic work on the Polish question, was appointed a member of the Phlllsophlcal Faculty at Berlin without the opinion of that body, as to his suitability for the position, having been sought. The step gave rise to a good deal of criticism, to disarm which Bernhard took it upon himself to propose that the Faculty should sit In judgment on his qualifications, and to promise that, if the verdict should prove unfavorable to him, he would send in his resignation. This well meant suggestion, however, only brought down on his head the disapproval of the Ministers of Education, who claimed that he hod acted fully within his rights in making the appointment independently of the Faculty: and Bernhard was given six "The Rexall Store."

r

months leave in which, to repent of his indiscretion. It Is now stated by the Lokalanzeiger that the conflict imposed so severe a strain upon the Faculty that the philosophy, which it professes was completely exhausted, and Bernard finally proposed to one of bis colleagues that the affair should be settled by the more prlmative method of an armed encounter. The challenfie was accepted, and was to have been fought out with pistols. The preliminaries were, however, interrupted through the "attitude of Bern hard's unnamed opponent," and nothing came of them. Needless to say, the situation has not been improved by this latest development, and people are curious as to the future of the Philosophical Faculty, the members of which are so much by the ears that they cannot even agree to kill one another, according to the accepted prescript.

The union of German brewers which has been holding its annual conference in Munich, is exceedingly angry regarding the Kaiser's recent pre scripts about the abuse of alcohol in the army and navy. Dr. Vogel, director of the Brewers academy, maintained that beer was an essential in the support of the German people just as bread was. Beer, in fact, was nothing more nor less than "fluid bread." The speaker then reminded his hearers of Bismarck's remark, "Without alcohol we would not have been able to do anything in 1870." The use of beer, said the speaker, inspired patriotism. The Kaiser ought to remember what the brewers and their industry have done for the rising German fleet. When it was necessary to provide funds for the new ships they raised five millions sterling for this object, and Dr. Vogel has not heard that the Good Templars or other apostles of temperance have fulfilled a similar patriotic duty or declared their readiness to devote part of their profits from temperance drinks to the development of their country's marine. United action, declared the speaker, is necessary, nor will the brewers hesitate to adopt measures against the action taken by the Kaiser and his counsellors. Dr. Vogel, of course, forgot to mention that the five millions devoted to the fleet were paid by the consumers of the national beveridge. An army of young German physicians and medical Btudents are planning to invade America next year, and a Hamburg-American liner has been chartered for the purpose of transporting the invaders across the Atlantic in September next. The physicians will stay in America for about two months, visiting all the principal hospitals from New York to San Francisco finishing up with a visit to the International Hygeinic Exposition in Washington during the last week of November. "HIGHER UPS" CAN NOT BE PROSECUTED (American News Service) Washington, Dec. 24. Assistant attorney general Denison of the department of justice, in an interview today declared that only minor employes of the American Sugar Refining Company can . be convicted for customs frauds. Despite the fact that the government has been swindled out of millions by the sugar trust, it is practically impossible, said Mr. Denison, to criminally convict those "Higher up."

SEIDEL TACKLES COST OF L1VI11G Socialist Mayor of Milwaukee Says There Is Only One Solution to It.

(American News Service) Milwaukee, Dec 24. The socialists haVe tackled the cost of living prob lem in this city and Mayor Emil Seidel, of this city, the first socialist ever elected to be the executive of a great city, today declared that the only solution lies in the municipalities own1 ing the plants producing foodstuffs. "The government of any city Is a business proposition and all of the people are stockholders," he said. "Public officials are employed to run the enterprise and it goes without saying that if a city can furnish its stockholders with cheap commodities that enter into the cost of living then it is the duty of its servants to see that measures are adopted to bring about this much desired result." Mayor Seldel declares that the cost of living' is the big living issue of the twentieth century. "The principal element of this is the meat bill that is the biggest item," said the socialist mayor. "That makes it important that the municipalities should own the slaughter houses and the ice making plants. As cold storage has become a factor in the matter of food supply it is important that these plants should also be owned by the cities. "The city should feed its people. It should care for them and see that they get good, wholesome food stuffs. The city should exercise paternal care over its residents. "There has been a great hue and cry about the conservation of natural resources but how about the husband and wife who can raise two fine, healthy children where they could only rear one before? "Give America plenty of strong, healthy, well educated happy men and women but we shall never have this class as long as the ' vital foodstuffs are owned and controlled by trusts." , The Beaver's Tooth. No carpenter's chisel can do more effective work than is turned out with ease and neatness by the beaver's tooth. This is the principal tool with which these patient, clever builders construct tbeir dams. The outer surface of the tooth is a scale of very hard enamel, while the body of it is of softer dentine. As the softer substance wears away in use the end of the tooth takes a cblsel-ljke bevel, leaving a thin, (lightly projecting edge of hard enamel as sharp as any carpenter's tool fresh from the oilstone. Tne thin scale of enamel gives keenness, the softer dentine supplies strength, and thus the combination forms a formidable tool, which actually sharpens itself by use.

Neill this afternoon announced that there would be no strike of the 37,000 locomotive engineers on the sixty-one western railroads involved in a wage controversy.
