GEORGE S. VlERECK.in the audience
took offense at something in the young
mans impassioned speech and prefaced
defense of socialism by making
statements as to Viereck's ancestors.
He began by telling of the beauty of
Edwina Viereck. the actress, who was
the toast of Berlin fifty or sixty years
ago. At the time of the revolution of
1S4S the future emperor of United
Germany fell deeply in love with her.
He was then only a prince. The at
tachment between Wilhelm and the
beautiful actress was of long dura-
ton, and all Germany believes today
that TO them was born a son, Louis
Viereck, the father of the New York
poet. AS long as the elder Wilhelm
was alive Viereck is said to have re-
ceived an allowance regularly from
the imperial government on account
of his parentage. This has not been
continued by the present kaiser.
Andre Autard, who makes John D.

Rockefeller had to pay on his last wig.

! Mr. Smith is of English descent, and
his family settled in the valley of the
Connecticut in early colonial days. His
father was the pastor of Congrega-
tional church at Exeter, N. H, and
here Charles Stewart Smith was born
on the I'd day of March, 1882. His
mother was a daughter of Aaron Dick
inson Woodruff of Trenton, N. j., a
distinguished lawyer and for many
years attorney general of the state. Re
ceiving a sound elementary education
in his native town, young Smith at the
age of fifteen set forth to make his for

a dry goods jobbing house in New
York, his progress was rapid, AMI at

The Rev. DIR. John HI. De Forest,
who has been a missionary under the
American board of foreign missions i'll
Japan for thirty-three years and who
is now in Brooklyn on vacation. says
the talk about war with Japan is sheer
nonsense He bases his opinion not
only on his long and intimate acquaint-
ance with the Japanese people. but on
his friendship with high government
officials and army and navy men. He
was at the front in Manchuria in the
war with Russia and has the personal
friendship of such men as Count Kat
sura, the war premier, General Kuroki
and Count Okuma. DR.. De Forest be-
lieves it is not wise to send battle
ship feet to the Pacific, but says that
if one does go he hopes it will go
straight to Yokohama.
From the past friendship of Japan,
l firmly believe that the fleet would
receive one of the greatest OvatiOns
Japan has ever rendered" Dr. De For
est said recently in an interview with
representative of the New York Sun.
Il am amazed at the prominence which
part of the press Of the United States
has given to this lingo war talk. To
think that there could be any war over
