New York, April 17.-If John
Jacob Astor went down in the last
death struggle Of the Titanic, as
wireless reports state, the Astor for
tunes and the Astor traditions rest
upon the. shoulders of young Will
liam Vincent Astor, the last male
survivor of the famous line in New
York.
To the city in which the name Of
Astor is household word the death
OF Astor and the shifting of his es-
tate to the shoulders of the 21-year-
old Vincent means the beginning of
new regime in the world of society
and the world of finance.
John Jacob Astor was a director
of the Astor Trust Company, the
Illinois Central Railroad. the Mer
camille Trust Company, the Morton
Trust Company and numerous other
great financial enterprises.
He was also a member of the
Chamber of Commerce, the New
York Botanical Garden, the New
York Geological Society, the Society
of Colonial Wars, the Military Order
of Foreign Wars, the American Geo
graphical Society, the Metropolitan
Museum of Art, the American Mu-
scum of Natural History and the New
York Academy of Sciences.
He was an enthusiastic sportsman
and owned a large string Of automo.
biles. He was also fond of riding,
yachting and tennis and his clubs
were too numerous to mention.
The Astor estate, including valu-
able real estate in New York, is esti-
mated at $150,000,000. John Jacob
Astor's young daughter, Muriel,
lives with her mother, who divorced
him, in London.
Upon his property at. Thirty
fourth street and Fifth avenue Col.
Astor started the construction OF the
Astoria Hotel, adjoining the Wal
dorf, erected by his cousin, William
Waldorf Astor. The two were mers-
ed as the Waldorf-Astoria. He built
the 'Netherland, Astor, st. Regis and
Knickerbocker hotels, and the Put
nam Building, occupying the block
on Seventh avenue, south of the Ho-
tel Astor. He also owned half OF
the old Astor House property.
One OF his most recent realty en-

of great vessels, he could give thh
probable immediate results of. the
crash with the Iceberg and the direct
cause of the Titanic's sinking, !;

Il conjecture that the Titanic
must have hit a mass of ice at least
5000 feet by 1000 feet in dimen-

cautious skipper like Commodore
Smith would hold in passing
through the zone Of ice at night,
and, assuming that the weight OF the
ship was 10000 tons, the impact

to contemplate. No boat, however
constructed, could withstand such a

Under such tremendous impact

The bulkhead plates must have
been torn from the sides of the ship,
and the loss of life on board must
have been extensive before the ship
went down .'t

GERMANY WILL AID ITS
OWN ALLIES IN CONFLICT
Chancellor Issues Plain Warming to
Russia and Engiand-Greece
Balks at Armistice

Berlin, Dec. 4.-Germany stands
firmly with Hungary in the
conflict which has arisen between that
country and Servia, or for that mat
ter, in any conflict which may be
forced upon the dual monarchy.
Discussing the Balkan situation in
the Reichstag, Imperial Chancellor
Bethman-Hollweg said:
when our allies, Austria Hungary
and Italy, in maintaining their inter
ests, are attacked-although this is
not in present prosperity a third
party, and thereby threatened in
their existence, then we, faithful to
our compacts, will take their part,
firmly and decisively; then WEI
shall fight side by side with our al
lies for the maintenance Of our own
position in Europe and in defense Of
the security of our own fatherland
81 am convinced that we have the.
whole nation behind us in such pol
ICY"
A new obstacle to the signing o.
the armistice between the allies ana
Turkey has appeared in the unquali-
fed opposition of Greece, which coun-
try, first of all is in favor of fighting
the war out to finish and, If a settle
ment is to be arranged, insists that
Turkey, Adrianople, Scutari, Janina
and the other more important fort
resses be unconditionally surren-
dered.
Berlin, Dec. 4.-The triple alliance,
the coalition of Germany, Austria and
Italy, was renewed for a period of
three years. The statement, which
was made officially, Is regarded as
especially significant in the light of
the present disturbed conditions in
Europe, growing out Of the Balkan
war
The triple entente, the alliance Oh
England, France and Russia. is still
in effect.
