CARNEGIE PRAISES
GERMAN PROGRESS

Berlin. Sept. 23.-Andrew Carnegie
has written an article in the Morgen
on THE Kaiser's Economic and Polit-
ical Mission" In which he states:
Il should say that a great man has
arisen in Germany in the person of
the Kaiser It is impossible to follow
his deeds without feeling that here
Is a personality and power who can
effect the good or evil of the world.
Germany is now the second larg-
est producer of steel. and that says
much. as steel is the base OF the pro-
dnction Of a thousand and one ar
ticles. In iroR production she also
takes the second place.
The Kaisers head and heart have
had their part in this industrial tri
umph. He is the Kaiser. the strength
OF. the Empire. At the same time. just
as the Car OF Russia called The
Hague conference for the promotion
of the peace Of the world, so, some
DAY CT ether. the powerful Kaiser
led by the thought of what he owes
to himself and TO Germany. many play
the main role on the European stage
as the liberator Of the continent from
the course Of the destructive war that

MONARCH EATING

DOCTOR PUT GoURMAND KING
OF PORTUGAL IN MISERY
BY DIETING HIM.

Lisbon, Sept 22. King Carlos Of
Portugal, the fattest and jolliest mon
arch In Eurepe who has laughed al
threats of bombs, and continued to
gorge himself when war threatened
to invade his domain, has been halted
By his doctors to prevent him from
eating himself to death.
That the king was in fair way to
do this. the sage medical men were
sure. as they sat in counsel each day
while their monarch was fatally stuff
ing himself King Carlos lately hal
even been outdoing his famous prede-
cesscr, King Carlos V. Of tire six
teonth century whose appetite no
cook in the royal kitchen could
satisfy.
Fatty degeneration Of the royal
heart Is what the physicians OF Carlos
fear, and to prevent this they keep
his royal highness on strict diet.
Not only have they defined the quail
ity of food the spendthrift king shall
eat but they have fixed the exact
quantity and the time he shall spend
at each meal.
They have told him he must obey
them or die He is trying hard TO
obey them, but he is hungry now, al
ways hungry. and 1e suffers torture
from the edict which takes away
from him the delicacies in which he
found his chief enjoyment.

BODY CAN'T Be
ST. LOUIS GIRL
MEN FAMILIAR WITH RIVER SAY
FLoATER COULD NOT HAVE
TRAVELLED $50 MILES TO
HELENA.

St Louis, Sept. 23.-Rivermen
familiar with the vagaries of the Mis-
sissippi are of the opinion that the
young woman's body found lodged
against the government dam at Old
town. L. miles below Helena. Ark
could hardly be connected with the
st. Charles bridge mystery, since 1t
Is improbable that 1t would have float
ed $50 miles without having been no.
ticed and intercepted.
Several pilots of years experience
say that the longest voyage ever
made by body within their recollec-
tion. Is that of Circuit Clerk Corbett,
Of Memphis. which floated 25O miles,
distance that is regarded as extra
ordinary.
Even had the young woman been
drowned accidentally or slain at st.
Louis or near this city. the rivermen
say that the body could not have
uassed Memphis without having been
caught. The current running at four
miles an hour would have borne the
body from st Louis to the point
where Il was found and taken out OF
the river In six days. without inter
runtion. after 1t had risen to the sur
face.
The body was that OF white wom-
an. between Is and 80 years of age.
dressed in blue skirt, white waist
and white hose and slippers. Two
plain rings were taken from the fin
gers. There was found in one OF the
stockings s1.G6 wrapped in a mans
handkerchief. The body had the ap-
,,earance of having been in the water
about five days.
