r WASHINGTON, Oct. 24.-It is ex- !
4, pected that at today's meeting of the 1
r Peace Commission in Paris the Ameri- !
r can Commissioners will deliver to their 1
+ adversaries something very closely ap- 1
r. preaching an ultimatum. The Presi- i
r dent is satisfied at last that the Span 1
r ish Commissioners are purposely delay i
r ing the negotiations. This is the be- 1
+ lief OF the American Commission also. i
+ The time has now come to cut off all I
+ false pleas and to come directly to the 4
+ main issue left open by the protocol, i
r namely, the disposition Of the Philip 1
r. pines.
r Up to this point, the entire time 1
r of the commissioners has been con- /
r sumed in repeated efforts on the part 4
+ of the Spanish Commissioners to force !
r. the Cuban debt question upon the at 1
r tention of the joint commission against 1
r. the firm opposition of the American /
r Commissioners. The latter have stated 1
r as positively as they could that under 1
r. no circumstances will they assume SOW /
r ereignty over Cuba, involving an as 1
/, sumption of the Cuban debt, and the 4
i. time has now come when, in the opn- 1
r. ion of the American Commissioners, /
1, the Spaniards must be made to under 4
i. stand that this answer is final and i
+ conclusive. 1
+ So far the American Commissioners, /
+ while preserving firm attitude, have 4
l. treated the Spaniards with the utmost 1
+ courtesy and consideration, allowing 1
r. frequent postponements of the work of 4
T. the joint commission to accommodate 1
r the Spaniards, but now, probably at 1
+ today's meeting, without departing 1
+ from their courteous treatment of the 1
+ Spaniards, the American Commission /
+ ers will find it incumbent upon them to 1
+ speak very plainly as to the determine 1
+ ton of the United States government 1
+ to regard the matter of the Cuban debt 1
T. and Cuban sovereignty as passed over 1
+ and beyond recall.

THE DEAD BISMARCK.
A NOTABLE CAREER.
Sketch Of His Life by George
Alfred Townsend.
THE MAN OF BLOOD AND IRON AT
ONE TIME MASTER OF
ALL EUROPE.
Rising From Youth of Little Prom
Use to Become a King Among Men.
His INSCRIPTIONS Yet Sincere
Character-A Comparison
to CromwelI-His Un-
hfnching Spirit.

To nearly all Americans and many
German-Americans the origin of such a
man as Otto Edward Leopold Bismarck
will be obscure even after explanation.
The circumstances of German civiliza-
tion are so different from British and
French development that this biography
must commence with some little history.
The north of Europe, in the direction
of the River Elbe, good while remained
in the hands Of the heather Baltic tribes
after fine nations had appeared under
the French and Normans. To subdue
these semi-S -Slavonic unbelievers crusades
were sent on foot, and the warriors of
the cross and Of the feudal German en-
pire were rewarded with the feudal or
military lands which they took from the
natives. Among these unknown war
riors were the ancestors of Bismarck.
He was born April 1, 1916, and might
have been called among American school
boys, therefore, an April fool.
In his babyhood Napoleon had burst
from Elba and carried his banner again
for 100 days almost to the North sea.
In laying low Napoleon as he passed
through Germany from Russia the year
previously appeared on the field as a
Prussiap prince, with Blucher and his
elders, the long lived king whom Bis
marck was to serve 40 years afterward
as prime minister. Bismarck was six
years younger than Gladstone and five
years younger than Pope Leo Kill
Middletown transcript., 1898-08-06

The word Bismarck is an abbreviation
Of Bishops Mark and refers to the bish-
ops Of Havelberg, who owned the Mark
that is, the march or line to be defended
The word is mentioned as early as 1908,
or nearly 300 years before Columbus.
By the river Biese stood a tower called
the Bismarck Louise, in which by tradi-
ton lived big louse who devoured the
substance Of the surrounding farmers.
1t is now said that this myth is refec-
ton upon previous legend which named
the tower after the Holy Cross, the
Wendish barbarians perhaps considering
that this Christian emblem cost them
their lands and their crops
Bismarck's grandfather was an intel
lectual man, and his father resembled
the chancellor. In 1906 his father mar
ried Louise Menken, who was 16, and
she lived till 1889. She was the orphan
daughter Of privy counselor, and her
family had literary traits. Her father
sympathized with the French revolu-
ton and died in 1901. Bismarck had
three brothers and two sisters. He was
brought up in Pomerania, about Kniep-
hof, which estate Bismarck retained
until 1868.
At 8 years of age Bismarck was sent
to school in Berlin by the side Of his
soldier brother, who lived very long
life. Bis parents spent the winter
months in Berlin. Among the first
things Bismarck attended to was the
