KAISER Wilhelm II and the Navy" q
new book. The story Of the rise Of
the German fleet to it's present position
and gives Kaiser Wilhelm the lions
share Of credit for making the father
land power on the sea. The book
alleges that the reason why Great Bril-
tain never dares to talk to the United
States the way It has to Germany is
that Britishers have long had a most
wholesome respect for the American
navy. I'VE must strive to build our,
fleet at least as powerful as the Ameri-
can," writes the author, George WIS
cilenus, distinguished official Of the
navy department., "in order that the:
people on the other side of the North
sea may gradually learn to understand;
the German navy is just as little of q
luxury" as Winston Churchill had the
effrontery to call it, as is the American!
Or English. "The British have had
great respect for the Yankees ever
since 1776, a respect which they ~ex-
hibited Enthusiastically on the occas-
lon of the Titanic disaster. If the Ger
man government had attempted to
hold back British subjects on British
ships by force, as the Americans held
Messrs 1smay and his conferees, there
would have been storm of indigna,
ton in England such as never yet has
been seen"
The German army is planning ex.

If Russia attacks Austria, Germany
will give the Austrians all the aid in

attacks Russia, or Se.rvia, which comes
to the same thing, it will have to do its
fighting alone. This, it was said on
high diplomatic authority was what
Kaiser Wilhelm told Archduke Franz
Ferdinand of Austria, when the latter
visited him in Germany recently, dur
ing the height of the scare over the
threat of general European war. The
archduke, who is heir to the Austrian
throne, came, it was said, expressly to
get permission from Kaiser Wilhelm
for his ally, Austria, to declare hostil-
tiles against Servia. Kaiser Wilhelm's
answer was said to have been the bit.
terest disappointment of Ferdinands
life, although probably not to the aged
emperor of Austria, who opposed war,
but almost certainly would have been
dragged into it, according to the d.

had approved the archduke's propos-

Municipal rabbit breeding is to be
tried out by Schoneberg, a suburb Of
Berlin. This is the latest experiment
in the effort to find way to combat
the high cost of living and furnish
meat to those to whom the present
prices are prohibitive. Besides under
taking a rabbit farm on it's own &C.
count in the country on lands where
the city's sewage Is distributed for
fertilizing purposes the Schoneberg
town council has just voted to assist
in establishing rabbit-breeding con-
Germ inside the city. The city supplies
a six-acre lot Of ground, to be divided
up lntO more tnan Sixty plots, on which
the members of the contracting So
ciety agree to breed rabbits for sale.
The city will advance to each breeder
the sum of $12 with which to buy a.
stock of breeding animals. After q
breeder has sold 240 rabbits in the
course of year he may consume his
surplus production in his own family.
The city also will equip the establish
ment with an ample water supply. An
official of the municipality will have
oversight of the concern and he will
have voice also in fixing prices.

ELSIE JANIS IS DUTCH,
FRENCH, ENGLISH, SCOTCH

The Chicago Daily News. which has
been inquiring into the ancestry of nota-
BILE stage folk, has unearthed the follow
ing facts about Elsie Janis family tree:
Miss Janis, although she dates from
Columbus, Ohio, and carries its brand
upon her, is on her mothers side Hol-
land-Dutch and ancient English, with a
touch of Alsatian French as a side issue.
''On her fathers side Chat gentleman
having left Elsie the mouthful of a name,
Bierbower) she is somewhat mixed up
with Berlin German and pure Scotch.
Elsie's Bierbower grandmother bore the
name Of Jean Mackeloe, which ought to
do in any plaid, and her great-grand-
fathers, way back, came from Berlin
and were old-time Germans.
"On her mot side Elsie is all
gnarled up with antiquity and birth
marks. Originally the family. which goes
far into American history, arrived
one Sir Charles B. Oldham. one
of the oldest titles in Burke's, extinct
with Elsie's progenitor; also the James
and the De Younges. who
were old Holland Dutch and Belgian
or Alsatian.

Fine acting produces certain effect
just as that Corot on the wall over there
does. Why, no one can explain. Actors
will tell you sometimes they know how
1t is done, why certain cause produces
certain effect. But that is bosh. None
of them knows. It's personality. What
makes great financiers. great painters.
great newspaper men? Not the tools with
which they work; countless other men
work with the same tools in vain Call It
genius or insanity, as you like, call it
the power to endow the particular med

press yourself with truth. sincerity, con-
viction. and sympathy. And even behind
all that some other ingredient enters into

OSCAR STRAUS WRITING
A ROMANTIC OPERA

In the work at present engrossing his
attention. Oscar Straus is attempting
something in the nature of a romantic
opera in rather more serious vein than
anything he has vet given to the public
that enjoyed THE Chocolate Soldier"
The name of the new opera is Poets
Love-" and the principal role is a por-
trayal Of Heinrich Heine. The composer
had expected to have 1t ready for pro-
duction during the coming season, but he
has now notified the Munich Kunstler
Theater. to which he has promised the
premiere, that he will be unable to finish
It this year, and consequently the first
performance will have to be postponed
for a twelvemonth.
