Tippoo Ti5 was infinitely preferable. draining the Congo valley of it's nat ural resources and creating in the minds of the natives a hatred of Euro peans which will make it's evil influ- ence felt far outside the limits Of the Free State territory.
 Emperor Williams appointment 0: the Alsatian Baron de Schmid to the rank of a captain of the reserve Eighth Prussian Cuirassier regiment has ere ated a great sensation throughout Germany. owing to the fact that the baron had never before served under the German flag and that his ncmina- ton as captain under the circum- stances is without precedent in the annals of the German army.
 The baron is by birth 8 Frenchman. served in the French army until three years ago. when he retired with the rank of captain of cavalry. Shortly afterward he inherited. through the death of cousin, large ancestral es- tates situated in the now German province of Alsace In order to enter into possession of his inheritance it was necessary that he should become
 
 French nationality.
 That this action on his part was ap- preciated in it's true light by his fel- low countrymen in Alsace is shown by the fact that shortly afterward they elected him 60 represent them in the German imperial parliament at Berlin. As a member of the reichstag he was brought frequently into contact with the kaiser who took a great fancy to him, and as the baron had been obliged on assuming German citizenship to sever his connection with the French army. in which he had spent sc,ne twenty years. the emperor conferred upon him the same rank which he had held in the French army, namely. that of a captain of cuirassiers.
 The very fact that this appointment should have attracted so little co7-i- ment of an unfriendly character in the French press. where some of the pa rerS have even referred to the matter as an illustration of the kaiscr's good will toward France and as an indica- tio1 of his admiration fer the training which French officers receive, shows that the bitterness between Germany and France dating from the war of lSt0 IS rapidly dying out.

 Nc: until a year later, and after large rewards haG been offered for the discovery of the thief. was ii found that the horn had been stolen by a goldsmith Of the name O; Heidenrcich, an eX-conVict. who had secured access to the glass c:;se by means of skeleton Keys. Unfortunately he had consigned the l.orn to the melting pot. and only a couple of pounds of melted gold re- mained Of this unique and priceless work of art.
