The Youngest lieutenant in the Prus-
sian army is Count William Won Roth
enburg. who was recently assigned to
the First Regiment of Dragons. As
The Count was born in 1881. he is al
present scarcely 10 years old. As a
matter of course, the young man does
no active duty as yet. He owes his APP
pointment to the ancient privileges of
his powerful and wealthy family.

southeast of Colonos and not far
from the Kings garden, which now
answers more exactly to the descrip-
tons of the groves of Colouos than any
part of Attica. Nor is it very far from
where Cicero dined with his friend
Atticus. or where Socrates used to sit
under the plane trees and wash his
feet in the lissus.
