Willard, First U. S. Ambassador to Spain, Is l9 Years Old Today.

Joseph Edward Willard, lawyer, soldier. c1ubman and diplomat, as-, sisted in driving the naughty Dons from the Pearl of the Antilles, which may or may not have been one of the reasons why President Wilson. sent him to Madrid as his representative at the court of King Alfonso. At any rate he and be that as it may, Am bassador Willard was given a cordial greeting by the King when he arrived in the Spanish capital last October, of relief when informed by the press |that King Alfonso spoke pleasantly to the Ambassador about America and also conversed with each member of the embassy staff."
 Ambassador Willard will celebrate his forty-ninth birthday today, hav- ing been born in Washington on May Day. 1865 He came of an old Xir- ginia family and was educated at the Virginia Military Institute. after which he took the Summer law course at the State University of the Old Dominion and embarked in the practice of law. When the war between the United States and Spain broke out, MT. Will 1 lard became the captain of the Third Virginia Regiment of Volunteers, and saw active service at Camp Alger, Va, and later at Camp Columbia, Cuba, where he was aide-de-camp to Major General Fitzhugh Lee. For several years after the war he was a, member of the Virginia House of Representa- tives, and afterward State Corporation Commissioner
 MT Willard is the first American
 diplomat in Madrid to. hold the rank of ambassador extraordinary and plen- I ipotentiary, Uncle Sam's previous di-
 p1omats in Spain howing been noth-
 ing more than envoy extraordinary and minister plenipotentiary. With
 the raising of the American legation to the rank of an embassy, lhe salary l of the incumbent was boosted from s1o,ooo to $17,5oO per annuna.
 In his diplomatSc relations with 1 spain, Uncle Sam has been represent

A May Baby.

1A 4vAny AD0Uyss
 The Duke of Connaught, Governor General of Canada, was May Day baby. for 1t was on May, 1. 1850, that the stork delivered the little prince at Buckingham Palace to gladden. the heart of Queen Victoria. The Duke was the seventh-born and the third son of Britain's revered queen, and upon him she 1avished no small share of her affection. The Duke has been the recipient of numerous decorations and honors from nearly all of the worlds rulers but the title he regards as the highest of all is that of Chief of the Iroquois, which was conferred upon him at a pow-wow of Canadian Indians about forty years ago. when the Duke was a young army officer stationed at Halifax. The Duke is the only surviving sop of Queen Vic toria- Her youngest son, Leopold, Duke of Albany. died thirty years ago, the Duke of Edinburgh died in 1900, and King Edward in 1910.

May Day To Be Celebrated In Many Ways And Countries

May Day has been observed In many lands-and with dfveree cere- monies, customs and significances since the institution in the year 24l B. c. of the Roman festival of Flora lia- This feast was in honor of the goddess Flora, patron of the flowers and of fertility. and was observed by indulgenceNin gay n1asquerades, dra-s matic performances and dances of a Character not to be described in print The ancient Druids of Great Britain celebrated May Day by lighting bon fires in honor of the god Bel. and the Colts still call the feast "se1tine,', meaning ..the day of Bells fire's At a later period all England. Scotland and Ireland went a-Maying'' on the first of May. and the youngsters and many of the adults danced around the. Maypo1e.
 Today's observance of May Day as an international labor holiday by the socialists. syndicalists. anarchists and many of the labor organizations of all the great cities of Europe and Amer ica had it's origin in 1890. when the America6 Federation of Labor held demonstrations in favor of an eight hour day. At the International Workingmen's Congress held in
 Brussels the following year it was de- cided to set apart May 1st as holi- day for the worlds workers. The l follow this proposal, but decided on a September date as Labor day. but the socialists, the Industrial workers Iof the World and other parties ob- serve the day in common with their l '.comrades'' in Europe The purpose
 of this celebration is to afford ga manifestation of the worldwide
 solidarity of labor and to demon
 strate s1n favor of the demands of in lternational socialism.
 May Day is observed as Manila Day. in Washington and Manila by | the members of the Society of the,
 Battle of Manila Bay, and commem- l crates Dewey's decisive victory on
 May 1. 1898. The anniversary is also
 generally observed by the people of 1 the Philippines. The news of that
 historic conflict did not reach the United States in time for May Day Irejoicing, nor, indeed, until the sev-
 enth of May. when a New York World 1 extra informed the world that eleven | Spanish ships had been destroyed, the
 Spanish forts rendered useless. and the Philippine capital placed at the l mercy of the victors, without the loss ] of a single American ship or the kill
 ing of a single sailor. E. W. Harden, l the correspondent of the World,
 reached Manila just as the battle was Enearing it's end, and sailed .immedi-
 ately for Hong Kong on the dispatch boat Mccullough. The correspondent
 of a rival newspaper was also on l board, but Harden worked his mem korable scoop by paying commercial Erates in cash His message was pub
 lished in the World extra before the
 official report reached Washington.

Collins, Best Ball Player Tn RusineSs.'' 27, Tomorrow.

HI BUS1n6SS, Al, AOAAAOAAo"s
 Ja,wn McGraw is generally consider
 ed a pretty good judge of baseball
 nlavers. and when he declared last
 fall that Eddie collins, the great sec ond tasernan of the Athletics was the
 best ball player he ever saw Eddie had a perfect right to ask Connie
 Mack for a new shirt and cap big enough to cover his enlarged chest and dome. Eddie is still a. young fellow. with plenty Of time to get even better, for he will celebrate his twen- ty-seventh birthday tomorrow. He was born in Mi1Ierton, N. May 2s 1887. In his youth he was ambitious to shine as a legal luminary, and he was sopping up education preliminary to taking law course at Columbia
 University when Connie Mack lamp ed him and said. Young fellow, come along and play with me- Collins was second baseman and captain of the
 Columbia nine. and didn't want to lose his amateur standing, so he made his
 debut with the Athletics playing under the name of Sullivan. After the close of the 1906 season Collins, alias Eddie
 Sullivan, returned to college. but his
 dark secret was soon discovered. He was yanked before the faculty and there confronted with a newspaper picture of Sullivan. Collins admitted
 that thereswas striking resemblance
 between the Athletic player and him. self. but refused to answer any ques- tions on the ground that he might incrininate himself. Just for that
 Eddie was debarred and stopped and otherwise impeded and prohibited from playing any more baseball with Columbia, but he stuck around the campus until June, when he got his degree of A. B.. meaning Able Battre, and then rejoined the Athletics. He
 played stortstop in 1907, but made | a poor Job of it, and batted only 100.
 The next annul he was sent to second
 base. where he soon became a star.
 Tn 1909 he batted .s46. and ever since
 has never since failed to swat the pill over the 300 mark.
 .Eddie Collins is. in my opinion,
 the best bah player in the business,
 and certainly the best have seen during my career on the dIamond.' 2 declared McGraw after the conclusion of the last worlds series. .eHe is the
 most nearly perfect and the most re-
 sourcefuI player in the world He did
 more to beat the Giants out of two worlds championships than any oth-
 CT member of Connie, Mack's team
 After that. Eddie certainly has a right
 to congratulate himself on his birth
 day tomorrow.
