Stage Irishmen

7 The stage Irishman, a vulgar 'cari-
 cature of the son of Erin, is almost as old as the British drama, but the first example of high class Irish n1elo-
 drama was supplied by the gifted dra-. matist and actor, Dionysius Lardner Boucicault He was born in Dublin nine-two years ago today, Dec. 26, 1922, and was educated att London. university. He early developed genius for the drama. and at the age of eighteen produced London As- surance' at Coveat Garden. This
 work ranks as a classic, although the creation of an immature youth. In
 1852 he made his first appearance as an actor, and the following year wis tied America with his wife, Agnes Robinson In 1860 he produced t"Thea Colleen Bawn,' an Irish melodrama which marked the beginning of 9, new dramatic era in the stage treatment
 of Irishmen This was followed by
 s"The Shaughraun'' and other plays of the same type. Boucicaults Ameri- can career was highly successful, and
 I11ne won fame as dramatist, actor and manager. He wrote and adapted
 over 400 plays. Boucicault died in 1890 -~

Christmas Gifts

The custom of making gifts on Christmas is not of Christian origin. but dates back to organism, the an cient Romans having universally practiced the custom of giving and re- ceiving presents on the festival of SaturnaIia. This pagan feast was also marked by excesses in eating and drinking and by wild and unre- strained rnerriment The fathers of the church denounced and condemn ed the practice of Christmas gifts, but the influence of habit was too strong and the pagan custom was perma- nently grafted on the Christian festi- val Thus the most sacred day of the Christian year has served to perpetu- ate a custom connected with the wild est and most dfssolute feast of the ancient world.

Lebknecht

Dr. Karl Lebkuecht, the distin- guished German socialist who was the only member of the Reichstag to vote against the new war credit this month is forty-three years old and is the soh of Wilhelm Lfebknecht, who was the co-founder with Karl Marx ofs mod ern socialism. At the outbreak or the war it was reported that pr. Leb- knecht had been shot for refusing to do military service, but this rurnor was without foundation. It is now known, however, that Ldebknecht was the leader and spokesman for the so- cia1fst faction opposed to the war. All of his comrades have since been won over to the war cause. and Dr. Liebknecht stood alone when he vot- ed against the December war credit Since the death of BebeI, Dr. Ieb- knecht has been the SociaI& Demo cratic leader in the Reichstag, but his present attitude has alienated his party. It was Liebknecht who, in April of 1918, started the crusade against the trust which he decIar- ed promoted war scares in Europe for the sake of getting contracts for armament and warships. He assert ed that the Krupps had brfbedS vari-# ous army officers to promote their schemes. The exposure of this sean dal made Lebknecht an international figure The bribery of minor offi- cials was eventually admitted by the Krupps, and four officers were tried by court-martial. Dr. Liebknecht made a lecture tour of. America sev-. eral years ago. Dr. Liebknecit's father signed with Karl Marx the fla nous manifesto" which is the groundwork of modern socialism. Like Marx and BebeL the elder Liebknecht spent much time in Ger man prisons. After the revolution of 1848 Liebknecnt was condemned to death, but escaped to England, which gave him a refuge Later he return ed to Germany and was made the editor of vorwarts, the great social ist newspaper, and elected to the Reichstag. His son, Karl, early be- came prominent in the movement which his father had helped to fath- CT

Admiral Dewey's Birthday 5} Recalls Quarrel With
 Germans At Manila

Admiral George Dewey was born in Montpelier, Vt, Dec. 26, 1887, the son of Julius Y Dewey. Within the last year the American admiral has come in for much bitter denunciation from German sources on account of his references in his autobiography to the German American incident at Manila. Without using the short and ugly word. Admiral von Diede- richs, Count ReyentIow and others Of the Kaisers naval leaders bitterly as- sailed Dewey's version of the contro- versy and charged the hero of Ma niIa with possessing g. very faulty memory AdviraI von Diederiehs.
 who was in command of the German fleet at Manila in 1898, asserted that Admiral DeWeyss account of the incl dents in the Philippines contained many errors.,' The concentration Of the German squadron in Manila. Bay was due, according to Admiral won Diedrichs, ttto a purely fortuitous chain of circumstances" although he explains this ftchain'' by saying that the emperor personally ordered him to proceed to Manila. Admiral Dewey has made no reply to his German critics, except to state that all of the circumstances connected with the battle of Manila Bay were set forth in official records compiled at the time and hence of unquestionabIe ac- curacy. Admiral Deweyss differences with Admiral von Diederichs were the outgrowth of the persistent violations by German naval officers of the blockade regulations established by the American commander. When Dewey's ships were compelled to fire shots across the bows of the German ships to force compliance with the rules the tension reached an acute point. Capt. Chichester. in command of the British squadron at Manila, sided with Dewey, and eventually the American co4nmander was able to reach an understanding with the Ger man commander which ended the friction

Duke of Norfolk, Premier
 Duke and Catholic Leader, 67 On Sunday

The fifteenth Duke of Norfolk, who is the premier duke and the premier.
 earl of Great Britain, the leading Ro-
 man Catholic layman of England and one of the wealthiest of Britons, will be sixty-seven years old on Sunday.
 The duke is the holder of many oth- CT titles, some of them among the oz<zsst of the kingdom. The duchy of Norfolk is the oldest existing title of that rank, and the same is true of the earldom of Arund del, which dates
 from 1129. The duke is also Baron Maltravers, a title created in 113O; Earl of Surrey 1483; Baron Fritz Alan, and Oswaldestre, 1627s and Earl
 of Norfolk, 1644. The title of Duke of Norfolk was created in 1483.
 Among his ancestors were several fa,-
 nous warriors on sea and land. The
 fourth Duke of Norfolk was an ad-
 herent of Mary of Scots and was be-
 headed, and his son died a prisoner in the Tower of London. The title and estates were confiscated, but
 were restored in 1884. The Duke of
 Norfolk is also hereditary marshal
 and chief butler of England. Like
 his ancestors, he is fervent adherent
 of Catholicism. He has served as Lord Mayor of Sheffield, special en- voy to the Pope, and postmaster-gen-
 eraI in Lord Sa1isbury's cabinet. He
 served in South Africa during the war with the Boers. The dukes first
 wife died in 1887, leaving an only
 child, a son, who died in 1892. After seventeen years of widowerhood the, duke married his cousin, a daughter
 of Baron ferries, who also comes or 8, prominent Catholic family, and who is now the thirteenth Baroness Her ries in her own right. The duchess, who is thirty years the junior of her husband, has given birth to four chill
 dren since her marriage in 1904. Three are daughters, the last having been born less than two months ago. The dukes only son and heir to his ancient title and vast estates is known as the Earl of Arundel and was born in May, 1908. Two daughters were
 born before the arrival of the male
 heir at which the whole county or Norfolk went wild with joy. The
 dukes heir is guarded like a, prince, and indeed, his fathers title stands next to royalty in rank. He has his own private apartments and a corps. of nurses, servants and a physician.
 The estates of the Duke of Norfolk in clude about 50, 900 acres of land, with three Ernagnificen castles and 9 town house in London. Although his for tune is great, the Duke of Norfolk is not possessed of as much wealth as three other dukes. those of Westmin=s ster, DeVonshfre and Portland, who
 are said to practically own London.

Birthday of Prince of Peace
 Celebrated By Armed Hosts

That warning Europe should ce1e- brate the natal day of the Prince of Peace seems an ironic proceeding, but the spirit of Yu1etide can triumph over many obstacles. Even the men in the trenches, engaged in, the bloody business of staying their fellowm en, were provided with a special Christ mas feast, and most of them were the recipients of gifts and holiday post cards from the dear ones at homet The Russians and the Surbs who are adherents of the eastern church will not celebrate Christmas until the. seventh of January, and the Turks and Japanese know not Christmas, but the other nations in volved in the struggle of the centuries observed simultaneously the great festival of Christendom
 For those at home, worn by grief or fear, this Christmas was but a. ghastly mockery of the merry Yule- tides of the peaceful past. The sol- dier, however, with that grim fatal ism which marks his trade. did not permit the ever present possibility of death to mar the jo1lity of the day. In England this Christmas partook of the characteristics of that ''still Christmas' proclaimed by Henry VIIII., during the days of the great plague, when all rejoicing and merri- ment were stern1y repressed by royal edict. But while the home folks mourn, and feel little impulse for joy ousness. the man at the front must be kept cheerful.
 The army chefs of the various forces were provided with the mate rials for eoncocting those delicacies necessary to a. Christmas feast. The plum pudding-w11ich doubtless i'm spired the American 111ince pie-has been an English Christmas de1icacy for centuries. King Arthur made a plum pudding large enough for the whole court to "eat thereof.'' accord ing to a recipe which has been hand ed down for generations:
 A bag pudding the king did make
 And stuffed it we'll with plums,
 And in it put great Jumps of fat
 As big as my two thumbs
 It is unlikely that the French sol dter partook of Starsburg pie, made Of truff1es and slices of goose liver but he did have plenty of boudin or black pudding, without which no French Christmas is complete.
 Carp cooked in beer is favorite repast of the Germans at their Yule- tide feast. It is improbable that many Of the kaiser's soldiers were regaIed wsth this typicaI1y Teutonic food, but were provided with mohnipielen. which is made of white bread, raisins, poppy seed and nuts stewed in milk. The German at Christmas also par

Peter of lservia

King Peter I, of tServia, who recent Iy assumed command of the army of his little nation, was three score and ten years old on his last birthday. He is youth compared with the ruler of Austria Hungary, Francis Joseph being eighty-four. King Peter is a1- so junior of his ally, King Nicholas of Montenegro, who was seventy three in October. The ruler of the Serbs was ill at the time of the con into war with Austria. and his sec ond son, Crown Prince Alexander, was serving as regent. King Peter belongs to the Karageorgevfc dynasty, which was long contested the Seryian throne with the Obrenovitches. He ing been Prince of Servia, under Tur- hish suzerainty, from 1S42 to 1858. He is descended from Karageorge,. a peasant, who was the leader of an insurrection against Turkey early in the nineteenth century. Peter Kara georgevic was called from his ob- security in 1903, when the SerVian army officers murdered the mad and dissolute King Alexander and his spouse, Queen NDraga, who had been a woman of the streets. The army then hailed Peter as king of Servia, and he accepted the crown. The Ser vian ruler married in 1883 Princess Korka of Montenegro, a daughter of King Nicholas and a sister of the Queen of Italy. She died in 1890, leaving two sons and a, daughter The eldest son, Prince George, made him. self highly unpopular by his wild ways, and was forced to, renounce his right to the throne five years ago, when his younger brother, Alexander becsT7e Crowh Prince. King Peter and his sons proved themselves to be able commanders in the wars with Turkey and Bulgaria

 The Christmas delicacies Of Aus tria are as varied as the nationaities of Franz Josef's kingdom. Vienna pudding, poppy-seed and nut cakes. and fruchtbrod, made of chopped figs, dates, raisins and entrants, .are among the foods most favored by Austrians at their Christmas feasting.
