1t is understood. according TO pres
ent arrangements. that the foreign
guests viii occupy apartments in the
hotel at Frankfurt on-the Oder, where
the general staff is to have headquar-
ters and where the foreign generals
and the sta1 officers will dine together
each evening. except when summoned
to the emperor's table TO each guest
will be assigned as aid an officer speak
ing his language.
II was at first arranged that the en-
perors headquarters should be at Po-
sen, but recently the plans were
abruptly changed. The inference is
that it would be more judicious to
make a prolonged stay at Frankfurt
on-the- oder than mt Posen, because
Polish political hostility might be in
famed or an opportunity might be
given for an unpleasant incident. 1t is
not supposed. however, that the police
learned of definite design to make
trouble or insult the emperor, who in
tends, regardless of the change of pro-
gramme, to review the army corps In
Posen on Sept. and then go to Frank
furt on-the Oder.

their careers that is analogous Both
are comparatively young men and pos
sessed of remarkable energy and busi-
ness sagacity. Mr.. Perkins was born
on Jan. 81, 1862. and Mr.. Schwab on
Feb. IS of the same year. Each began
at the lower rung of the ladder, though
in widely separated spheres, and both
have risen to eminence in the financial
world with almost meteoric rapidity.
Mr.. Perkins was the son of an in
surance agent of moderate means in
Chicago. where he received his early
training He was even at an early age
remarkably quick and accurate at fig
ures, though he cared very little for
other studies. His business career was
marked with unusual success from its
very beginning, which was in hum
BILE position in the Chicago Office of the
New York Life Insurance company.
He became successfully bookkeeper,
cashier, inspector of agencies and SUI
perintendent of the western depart
ment. Then he was called TO the home
office of the company in New York and
leaped almost at bound into the third
vice presidency.
From that time forward until he be-
came associated with Mr.. Morgan
there was not big loan made or
large investment financed by the COM
pany that Mr.. Perkins did not know
all about. and in most of them he was
the guiding spirit.
He was instrumental to a large de-
gree in putting up the big marble build
ing that is the monument of the com
pany on Broadway in New York. He
went to Europe and reorganized gen
eral agencies there and then came back
to reorgauize them here. He intro
duccd reforms and suggested policies
that attracted the attention of business
men.

one day s,r Perkins received an offer
from MI Morgan to get out of the in
surance business and go into his office.
1t WAS an opportunity that few men
would care 10 throw away, irrespective
Of salary considerations. 1t was said
at tie time ti.at Morgan gave Mr.. Per-
kins near.y triple the salary he got
with the insurance company and that
he received S12,Oj0 year with the
Latter.
However tbs may be, it is evident
that for the business sagacity and
executive ability that he brings to the
aid of the great fnancier's big enter
prises re receives an ample reward.
Mr.. Perkins lives in one of the most
palatial residences on Riverside drive,
overlooking the Hudson.
For ten years or more Mr.. Perkins
has been an influential man in financial
circles in New York. but not i'll man.
ner that was calculated to bring his
name much before the public. 1t is
only since his name appeared as going

Hanna as to a possible settlement OF
the coal strike that he has begun to
be talked about. Since then he has
been much in the public eye. particu-
