PREPARING FOR WAR
German Soldiery Must Be Ready
for Conflict in Moment.
New Head Of Emperor's War once
Will Reform All Branches OF
Service and Endeayor to
Correct All Abuses.

Special interest attaches to the kais-
er's new minister. of war, Gen. Won
Einem- Rothmaler, for the reason that,
after Emperor William, it is he who will
be responsible for Germany's military
policy, should one of the several war
clouds burst which are now lowering
over Europe. Apart from the new min
lister of wars own striking personality,
the significant thing about his appoint
ment is the fresh evidence it conveys
of Emperor Williams determination to
surround himself with young blood.
Gen. Karl Won Einem- Rothmaler is
the first man in the history OF the Ger
man army to reach the war ministry
portfolio at 5 years Of age. All his pred
ecessors have been veteran soldiers,
and the vast Teutonic army war ma
chine has been run on gray-haired lines.
During the last few years the kaiser has
shown a decided tendency to rejuvenate
every important administrative depart
ment of his government by putting IN
comparatively young men-men OF his
approximate age-as heads. Thus he
called the 45-year-old Baron Won Rhein-
baden to be minister Of finance In the
Prussian cabinet; then Gen. Budde, AZ
years old, to be minister Of railways and
public works, and now 50-year-old Lieut..
Gen. Won Einem to be minister OF war.
Germany's military organization for
many years has left little to be desired
from the standpoint Of efficiency. Yet
the prediction is made that the young
blood" which the kaiser has called into
the executive service Of the army will so
manifest itself in the form of improve
ments and betterments all along the
line. Traditions are to give way to
modern ideas wherever opportunity Of
fers.

TWO MINUTE HORSE.
To Produce It Cost Mr.. Billings q
Round Million.
Chicago Mans Love for Harness
Horses Led to Lou Dllon's Rec
ord-BreakinH Feat-An AM
ateur Like Bonner.

To reach the ideal speed in a trotting
horse G. K. G. Billings, of Chicago, has
spent more than 100000. The two
minute trotter became fact only after
years of experiment and a lavish ex-
penditure which is without parallel in
the world of harness-horse sport. 1t
required fortune to bring out the mare
that could reduce the mark for a mile
to the figure that had been dreamed
OF for a quarter of a century. 1t de-
manded new Robert Bonner, whose
love for horses was above the prospects
of gain.
Mr.. Billings inherited from his father,
A. M. Billings, not only love for har-
ness horses, but means to crafty it. He
did not set about to produce horse that
could cover mile in exactly two min
utes, but he aimed at the acme of speed.
In all of his purchases Mr.. Billings has
sought to get the horse that could show
its heels to others in amateur contests.
Possibly Mr.. Billings dreamed of the
two-minute trotter, but if he old he never
told it to his friends. He was content to
beat his rivals on the speedway and III
contests for amateur cups. He spent his
money freely to win amateur races, but
the professional game of racing has al
ways been conducted without his direct
support.
When he began to buy horses Mr.. Bill
lings did not rush into the market and
offer himself as an angel to some Of the
shrewd dealers. He called expert horse
men to his side, asked their views on all
matters, and finally commissioned them
to act for him. He spent his money, but
he employed good judges Of horses to
advise him. =
Although he has bought scores of
horses, Mr. Billings has probably owned
less number of failures than any other
man who ever dabbled. as he has. in the
