BERLIN, March 2.-Isn't this a
dashing, gallant young officer to lead
a British regiment to battle? Well,
not II the battle happens to be against
Germans? For this handsome sol
der person is native of the father
land, and a girl at that. She Is Prin-
cess Victoria Louise, the kaiser's only
daughter, and not quite nineteen. But
she's colonel of famous British regi-
ment OF hussars-the Death or Glory
Boys"--so named because of their gal
liant record and the grewsome insignia
of skull and crossbones worn by the
officers on their busbees. See the pic
ture.
! or course, the princess commission
as colonel Is honorary, like all those
army jobs exchanged between Euro.
pean royal families, and doesn't re-
quire her attendance at drill every
day. But she evidently likes to be
photographed In her full regimentals.
She has an especially sunny disposi-
ton, is the best looking Of the kaiser's
family, and possesses In marked de-
gree the domestic virtues character
istic of the German fair sex.

Mr.. Taft went on to say that the
United states had done nothing unus-

Britain had done for Japan (omitting
to state to the correspondents that
Great Britain and Japan are In an al

resolution. Secretary Meyer told the
newspaper correspondents that the
answer to the resolutions would not
deny the revelation Of naval secrets
to Argentine, but would show how the
trade was equally beneficial to our
navy. The secretary said that Amer
lean naval officers would be permitted
to have the run Of the navy yards
where the Argentine vessels are be-
ing built, and would also be permit
ted to know all the secrets OF the Ar

The answer to the administration

recommendation by the general
board OF the navy, coming through

departments papers. This recon
mendation, which was Endorsed and
put into effect by President Roose

foreign officers.
The step was taken following the
discovery that young men who were
sent by South American countries to
the Annapolis naval academy and sub
sequently were permitted to serve
aboard our warships had sold lufor

quently orders were issued making
more strict even the regulations ap

DIES WITH MEMORY OF
WRECK HAUNTING HIM
Engineer of Train That Killed Nine
High School Pupils In 1903,
Never Forgot Fatality.

Never Forgot Fatality.
NEW YORK, Mar. 2.-From the
day he learned that nine Newark high
Lackawanna express he drove In 1903
until Of bis death, Leon G. Barciift
was never the same man.
Over and over again the old en-
gineer reviewed every detail of the
accident as he had learned It from
others. The tracks of the trolley road
had been slippery and the trolley car
had crashed through the gates at the
foot of Clifton-ave., in Newark, be-
fore he could stop his train. He
himself had been picked up with q
compound fracture of the skull and
many other injuries.
The engineer did not know the full
horror of that day In 1903 until long
afterward. There were months in the
hospital and then quiet days in lit
tie store to which the couple retired.
His wife thought that she had sue
ceeded in keeping him In ignorance
until one day he came across an old
newspaper account of the tragedy.
my poor husband experienced q
shock when he learned the truth that
always remained" said Mrs. Barclift,
yesterday. upon the slightest oc-
casion he would recount all of the
details he had read"
The doctors In the Newark hospital
said that the old engineer died be-
cause OF an anaemic lung and harden
ing of the arteries, but his wife IL
sure that his long brooding was equal
ly factor. He was buried from his
Newark home with the honors OF
Masons to a Mason.

NO ACTION is TAKEN ON

Fairgrounds In congested Dis

The council chamber was well fill-

mittee on claims and accounts to con-
slider the estimate OF $155,000 sub
mitted for the purchase of the Ferry
farm OF 40 acres at Grand River-ave.
and the boulevard, site for a new
high school and athletic grounds A
large delegation OF women was pres
ent, and the associations of the north
western part OF the city were strong
ly represented. The sentiment was
Overwhelmingly In favor of the pur-
chase OF the property.
Estimator Eddie Barnett, who will
be president OF the board OF estimates
this year, was the first to oppose the
plan. He declared that the crying
need just now was for Fairgrounds I'm
the more congested parts of the city
and that these were more essential
than additional high school facilities.
He called attention to the unusually
large budget this year and the narrow
margin left in the city's bonding limit.
Supt. of Schools Martindale declared
that the greatest need was for schools
and that, even with the Cass high
school, when 1t Is finally completed,
the facilities will not be sufficient In
two or three years to care for all the
applicants. IL was foolish, he said, for
the city to buy an empty field without
also providing money for school.
Among those who spoke In favor
OF the purchase OF the Ferry farm
were Police Justice Jeffries, Assistant
Prosecutor Jasnowski. the Rev. w. A.
Atkinson. Arthur ]. Lacy and r. L.
Post. Mr.. Lacy represented nine as
sociations, with a combined member
ship OF 5000. Mr.. Post made the point
that these associations are doing for
the future Detroit what our forefa-
theirs did not have the foresight to do
for the present generation.
The committee took the matter un-
der adyisement.

ADMIT GIVING
NAVY SECRETS
President Taft and Secretary Meyer
Claim Justification for Trading
Plans To Argentine.

WASHINGTON, March 1.-The
administration IL preparing to admit
the charge that naval secrets have
been traded to the Argentine republic
In exchange for contracts for Charles
M. Schwabs Bethlehem steel works.
With the admission will come an
attempt to justify what has been
done.
The justification takes these
forms:
% II was an even exchange; the
United States receives from the Ar
gentine It's naval secrets.
(2) The work gives good prac-
tice for American shipbuilding yards.
(3) There Is nothing very Inn
portant about the secrets OF the Amer.
lean navy.
Cd The arrangement tends to
bring about friendly relations with q
South American country.
90 Criticism OF the administra-
ton Is inspired by few feather.
Drained. irresponsible people who
should not be noticed.
Under the above heads are grouped
the answers made by the secretary
Of the navy. George Won l.. Meyer.
and by Secretary Philander G. Knox,
to the resolutions offered I'm the sen
ate by Senator LaFollette. The
formal answer IL expected within q
few days.
II can't believe" said Senator La
Toilette, that an effort will be made
to justify the giving away of ouI
naval secrets. However, I shall with
hold comment until the formal answer
comes to the senate"
That President Taft and Secretary
Knox should admit the truth Of this
charge has caused greater sensa'
ton, II possible, than the publication
OF the charge itself. Friends of the
men were at first unanimous In say.
ing that the accusation could not pos
sibly be true. and that this must be
the work of some irresponsible per-
son not prepared to verify the accus-
atoms. It was beyond their power
of comprehension that Secretary
Knox or President Taft should fat

Steel Co. by contributing, not only

HOW TO GET IA
Use Samose, Says Druggist at c.
fury Drug Store And Put On
Good Flesh.

The almost universal interest in
physical culture is the best evidence
that can be offered as to the need of
a simple and scientific method of
making thin people fat, increasing
strength and restoring health.
Athletics, when carried to an ex-
IRENE, often result in straining the
vital organs. How much better it
would be for the average person to
regain health, strength and flesh by
using Samose. This fesh-forming
food is assimilated as soon as 1t en-
tiers the stomach; it helps the organs
to assimiiate the food and extract the
flesh-forming elements; it builds up
the muscles and rounds out the limbs
into shapely plumpness.
Samose has been so successful in
making thin people fat and restoring
the weak and rundown to strength
and health that The Century Drug
Store, the popular druggists, sell II
under their personal guarantee to re
fund the money II It does not bene
| fit.
