A GREAT TRAVELLER.

boasting of the travels he had been
on with his master. AS the years pass

".Marse Richards" travels every town
and country whose names he learned

RICHEST YOUNG Man
TO we'd TOMORROW
VINCENT ASTOR AND MISS HELEN
DINSMORE HUNTINGTON TO
BE MARRIED.

Staatsburg, N Y, April 30.-Wil- |
liam Vincent Astor, head of the fam
lily established in America a century |
and quarter ago by John Jacob AS
tor, the German fur trader, and, per-
haps, the wealthiest young man in the
world, will be quietly married here at
noon tomorrow to Miss Helen Dens-
more Huntington, at the home of the
brides parents, Mr.. and Mrs. Robert
P Huntington. Since the tragic death
of his father, who went down with
the Titanic, made him master of the
great fortune long associated with the
Astor name, Vincent Astor has gained
a prominence not altogether due to
his wealth. His interest in philan-
thropy and social betterment has kept
his name before the public, and his
marriage to a girl whom he has known
since childhood gives more than a
touch of romance to the union.
The Huntingtons had arranged a
more elaborate wedding ceremony at
st. Margaret's Episcopal church in
the village, but Vincent Astor's sud-
den illness forced them to abandon
their plans. When visiting his fiancee
month ago he developed an abscess
on the lungs, and for time his con-
dition was serious. There was talk
of delaying the wedding, but both he
and Miss Huntington were opposed to
the postponement, and finally it was
decided that the ceremony should be
performed on the date originally set
but the arrangements for a large wed
ding with reception and wedding
breakfast to follow were given up
The wedding invitations were ready
but none were sent out. Only few
near relatives and intimate friends
barely a score, were informally asked
to attend, and the scene was shifted
from the church to the Huntington
residence.
The bride will descend a staircase
of cream colored marble which leads
down to the great entrance hall al
the front of the house. This hal
opens into the "long room," through
which the wedding procession will
proceed to the library
The bridal gown is of white tulle
very simply made, with train o
white satin and wedding lace tha
was worn by Miss Huntington's grand
mother, Mrs. Densmore, and by he
mother. Miss Astor and Miss Dow
will wear corn-colored chiffon ant
dotted net, with Natter blue sashes
They will carry old-fashioned bou
quets of small flowers arranged II
tight connentric circles and will wea
artificial wreathes of the same flower
on their hats. Mrs. Huntington, tn
brides mother, will wear blue taffet
and chiffon.
Mr.. Astor's gift to his bride is
magnificent pearl necklace, which sh
will wear at the wedding ceremony
The citizens of Huntington, Indiana
which was named for one OF TN
brides ancestors, have sent Mis-
Huntington a great cedar chest.
Among the guests will be Mr.. A
tors mother, Mrs. Ava Willing Asto

time in England BY the terms

Special to The Neics.

Jackson, Miss, April 30.-The 1914
convention of the Mississippi grand
chapter, Order of the Eastern Star,
came to a close here last night when
officers who were elected yesterday
afternoon were installed by the retir-
ing president, Mrs. Lotta M. Armisted,
of Greenville. Several hundred people
assembled in the Masonic hall to wit
ness the ceremonies of installation,
which were beautiful and impressive.
The officers elected yesterday after
neen, and insctalled last evening, are
as follows:
Mrs. Ellye Beasley, Of HoTlka, wor-
thy grand matron; DR.. P. M. Fugler, OF
McComb City, worthy grand patron;
Mrs. Anna Burcel, of Tupelo, associate
grand matron; Hon. Henry Yawn, OF
Lumberton, associate grand patron;
Mrs. Myra C. Eaton, of Hattiesburg
secretary, reelected, and who enters
upon her fourth year of service; Mrs
Matte Davis, of Okolona, grand treas
urer reelected for third term; Mrs
Bertha NJ. Scales, of Starkville, grand
conductoress; Mrs. Mittie Grayson, Of
Biloxi, associate grand matron.
Greenville was selected as the place
for holding the convention next year
on the third Tuesday and Wednesday
in April.

joying a rapid growth in Mississippi

comprising the regular European
army corps and the first line re-
servists. Behind them, in turn,
are several million trained and
partly trained men, for use in ma
king up the ravages of battle and
disease.
France, too, would be an effec-
tive ally of the Servians on land.
The French is different weapon
from what it was in 1870. The ac.
army within continental France is
thought to mum Der about 100000
men, and, although France limited
population does not allow her
the immense amount of reserve
strength which Germany possess
ses, the outbreak of war would
mean the instant increase of the
field army to a strength of 1,300,-
COO, which might be still further
increased by the recall of troops
from Algeria, and drafts from 700,-
900 trained reservists of the second
line.
The Italian army is more or less
an unknown quantity. Its value
to Austria and Germany would
consist in its diverting some of
France attention to her southern
frontier. On a peace basis. the
Italian army consists of slightly
more than 100000 men. The field
army in time of war would muster
nearly 5O0,0rO men, and could be
raised by drafts from the mobile
militia to 100000. Behind these
troops stand the territorial militia,
partially trained, forming what the
French Call the levee Ell masse,
more than 100000 men, mostly
of doubtful worth.
Needless to say, Great Britain is
not expected to count for much in
military operations on land in a
general European war. Her allies
would expect her to smash or bot
tie up the German fleet, and then
lend her navy to assist France in
wiping out the Austrian and ltal-
ian squadrons in the Mediterra-
rean and Adriatic seas. Doubtless.

Twelve Million Soldiers May
Be in Conflict.

Americans unacqualnted with
the ella borate military organiza-
tions of foreign powers can have
but little idea of the tremendous
nun Der of com batants who would
be involved in any general Euro
pean war which might arise from
Austria's s imbroglio with Servia.
Austria, large as she is in territory
and population, does not outnum-
Der Servia in available trained
men SO heavily as might be ex-
pected. But the seriousness of the
situation lies in the fact that, once
hostilities between the two princl-
pals begin, general war might be
inevita BILE. And it is safe to say
that not even the Napoleonic wars
rent the fabric of European civili-
zatiop as would a war between the
triple entente and the triple al
lance.
Always surprising that Russia
makes good her reported threat to
aid Servia in case the Austrians
persist in going to extremes, it is
believed that Germany and Italy
would come to their ally's assist
ance, In such a circumstance, it
is assumed that Great Britain and
France, the two remaining powers
in the triple entente, would not
permit their ally, Russia, to fight
such a serious battle alone. This
might mean the arraying of Rus
sia, France and Britain-and pos
sibIy Rumania-on the side of
Servia, and Germany and Italy on
the side of Austria, with the posi-
bility that the other Balkan ma
tiops and Turkey may be dragged
into the quarrel.
Austrias army is credited with
peace strength of 415,0OO men
and 81 ,88J guns, which the first
line reserves would increase in a
few days to $4,000 men. Behind
these could be mustered hundreds
of thousands of men of varying

ages who have had some military
training, and who would fill the
gaps in the field army. Little
Servia can mobilize all of her
male population trained to bear
arms to the number OF 324 900 in
fortnights time, although she
maintains only $4,000 men in time
of peace. AS Austria must guard
her Russian frontier and leave
some troops in the great Slav
areas of her own territory to re-
strain outbursts of revolution. 1t
can be seen that any army she
might attempt to throw across the
Danube into Servia would not be
of overwhelming strength. Then,
too, the Servian army is largely
composed of veterans, with splen-
did morale, and record of first
rate achievement in the Balkan
wars.
Germanys field army in time of
war mum bers 100000 men, and
her entire system of mobilization
and strategy Is based upon an in
vasion of France and a sim ulta-
neous resistance to a Russian at
tack upon her back door. Behind
this field army stands an active
reserve Of 100000 men of the Land
wehr, and behind them still l l,5OO,-
900 men who have had military
training and are available to make
good battle losses Germany's
strong point, as opposed to Rus
sia, of course, lies in her superior
mobilization. The vast distances
which Russian reservists must
travel, and the scanty railroads in
the Gar empire all tend some
what to neutralize the preponder-
ance of Russian troops.
On a peace footing, the Russian
army mum bers l,384,0JO men of all
corps, distributed over European
and Asiatic possessions. Many of
these men would not be availa ble
for use in European war. But
military experts concede that Rus
sia could hurl a great army of
100000 men across the German
and Austrian frontiers, these men
