Fortune was on the side Of the heaviest
artillery. The strength Of Russia's army
is that Of giant, but the giant may be
unable to use his strength.
One weasness that may bother Russia
is the question Of transportation. Al

more difficult position to reinforce her
troops than England was during the Beor

GERMANS SAY AMERICAN Girl
RECIPROCA1ES Love OF PRINCE

Much has been said concerning the love
affair of the German crown prince and
Geraldine FarTar the American prima
donna of the Berlin Royal opera. The fol
lowing written especially for this paper by
a Newspaper Enterprise Association cor
respondent at Berlin throws new light
on the love of the imperial youngster and
| the beautiful American girl.
| Wilhelm Frederick is desperately in love
with Geraldine Farrar. He makes no
effort to hide his passion Every one in
Berlin knows it.
The success of Miss Farrar has been
phenomenal. She is an artist in all the
| meaning of the word. She entered her
theatrical career not to satisfy vanity
for she possesses too much American sense.
The salary was not the inducement, al
though she receives the largest salary paid
an opera singer. Her reason for going on
the stage was her passion for singing.
She came to Berlin three years ago to
complete her musical education Although
young she had received thorough school
ing. She wanted to learn all that was to
be learned, however. She was engaged as
member of the opera and her advance
ment was meteor-liSe.

Her appearance on the stage was the signal
for spontaneous applause.
Many Of the gay youth Of the city were
smitten with the charms of the Ameri-
can girl. Billet doux poured through the
stage door, and more than one noble name
and fortune was offered for her to trample
on.
Her heart must have been made of
adamant, for the eager craving failed to
move it. Of retiring disposition, when
not on the stage, she lives in seclusion.
The attacks of the glded youth of Berlin
met with rebuffs. Her door was closed
to callers at all times

'The worst deal / ever got was once
