FRINGE LEOPOLD,

Prince Leopold of Battenberg, one of the royal soldiers of Great Britain will be twenty-six years old on Satur= day, having been born May 22, 1889. Leopold Arthur Louis is a. cousin of King George, his rnather being Princess Beatrice, the youngest daughter of Queen Victoria She married the late Prince Henry Maurice of Battenberg thirty years ago. Prince Henry died in 1896 as a, result of illness contracted in the British Ashanti campaign, for which he had volunteered. The royal cou- pie had three sons and one daughter the latter, Princess Victoria Eugen1e Julia Ena, being now. the queen of Spain. All three of the Battenberg princes went to the front early in the war. The youngest, Prince Maurice Victor Donald, was killed while serv- ing with the British army in France last October, shortly after his twenty third birthday. The elder brother Lieut.. Prince Alexander Albert, now in his twenty-ninth year, is an officer of the Grenadier Guards, while Prince Leopold is lieutenant of the Kings Royal Rifle Guards. Prince Leopold was severely injured by a fall early in the war and was invahded home, but soon recovered. The princes of Battenberg are nephews of His Serene Hghness Prince Louis Alexander of Battenberg, who was the senior lord admiral of the British navy in the early part of the war, until popular disapprovaI because of his Austrian birth led to his retirement from that high post. Henry Maurice, father of Prince Leopold and Prince Alexander was created Royal Highness'' by Queen Victoria, his mother-in-Iaw He volunteered for service in the ex- petition sent in 1895 to reduce King, Prempeh of Ashanti. He caught the fever while crossing the river Prah. and was conveyed to Cape Coast Castle, sailing thence for Madeira, but died on the voyage.

GEN. VOW KLUCK, GERMAN
 MILITARY HERO, 69 TODAY

Gen Alexander H. R. von KIuck, who was the military hero of Ger many in the early days of the war, will begin his seventieth year today. The commander who led the famous rush toward Paris, and afterward bore the brunt of the British and French attack, was born May 20, 1S46, in Muenster, Germany. He is one of a very few commoners who have risen to high rank in the kaiser's army. His father, Karl Kluck was a contractor and architect The aristo- cratic 'tvon' which is now a part of the generals name dates only from 1909, when, by order of the emperor, Gen. K1uck became His Exce1lency Gen. von KIuck. The general recefv- ed a serious wound from shrapnel while inspecting advance positions of his army last March, and returned to his home to recuperate, but it was recently reported that. he had entirely recovered
 Gen. von K1uck received his early education in the schools of his native city, and began his military career just half a century ago, in 1885, in the Sixth Westphalian infantry. In 1866 he was commissioned second lieutenant and fought in the war be- tween Prussia, and Austria In the F'ranco-Prussian war of 1870 he fought with such gal1antry that he was rewarded with the coveted Iron Cross He was twice wounded in the fighting before Metx. That was his last experience of actual warfare un- til he was called upon to lead the right wing of the German army in the futile dash toward Paris. When tn, Teuton tide was turned he became the buffer and protecting shield of the German forces. Some military ex- perts have declared that except for Gen. Von KIuck's masterly retreat the crown prince and his army might have been cut off. Lacking aristo-' cratic blood, von KIuck's rise in the German army was slow and based on sheer merit. He became a first lieutenant in 1878, captain in 1873, colonel in 1898, ieutenant-generaI in 1902, and general in 1906. He mar ried, forty years ago, the Countess of Donop, who gave him three children, Egon, born in 1875; Hildegard, born in 1878, and Ezerhard, born in 1882. Before the outbreak of the war Gen. von K1uck was in command of the army corps at Koenigsberg. It has recently been reported that Gen. von KIuck had a stormy interview with the kaiser and that he no longer en- joys the favor of the German War Lord.

EMPRESS COMPANIES.

The first express company west of Buffalo was founded in 1844 by Will liam George Fargo, who was born in Pompey, N r., ninety-seven years ago today. Fargo entered the express business in 1S43 as agent of the Pomery Express company at Buffalo. which was then the western outpost of the express transportation busi- ness. He then became a partner in the firm of Wells & company, found ed in 1841 by Henry Wells, who oper- ated an express from Albany to Buff falo. Fargo believed that the west was a fine field for the extension of the express business, then in it's in fancy, and launched the project whicl, gradually developed into the great corporation known as Wells, Fargo & company, controlling tFfe entire vests express business for many years Fargo's younger brother, James e. Fargo, also entered the express busi- ness. and became the head of the American Express company, another outgrowth of the original Wells &, company. William G. Fargo died in Buffalo in 1881, and James c. Fargo died recently in New York; in his eighty-sixth year.

UUBANs CELEBRATE TO-DAY THE 18TH BIRTHDAY
 OF THE REPUBIIU

This is the thirteenth birthday of Ghe Cuban republic, as it was on May zo. 1s92s that the .coqstitHtion of the 9siand repubifc w as put into effect and Taomas Estrada Palma was inaugural led as first presi dent Since then the fsPearl of the Antilles'' has passed Through many vicissitudes and emerg- sed triumphant from numerous diff icuIt situations, and there is good req sson for the hope that the republic ts now firmly established. The race question, which in Cuba has often Threatened to plunge the country into jeivi1 war; the schemes of foreign capitalists, who see in Cuba a rich Field for exploitation, and other vital Issues continue to threaten the peace Hhe independent republic of Cuba is not yet @out of the woods but in the bcp4nion Of those conversant with the beountry it's future now looms more hopefu1 than ever before.
 While the Cubans threw off the yoke of Spain in 1899. the Spanish x1ag was not immediately replaced by %as banner of Cuba Li5re. The Stars and Stripes fIoated over Havana. un- sEiI May 20, 1902,-the anniversary of Cubass martyr to Hberty-when the Transfer of sovereignty took place and

above them. He was attacked on all sides, and, although reelected for second term in 1906, was soon forced to resign. The second intervention of the United States followed, but in 1909 the government was again turn ed over to the Cubans, with Gen Jose Miguel Gomez as president. His ad. ministradon was described in some quarters as an abyss of corruption = and, while this may have been an ex- aggeratfon, designed to bring about a final intervention of the United States in Cuban affairs, the Gomez reRime was certainly not highly promising for the future There were several negro insurrections, which at times reached such a point as to threaten the safety of foreign residents of the island.
 Two years ago today the Gomez ad- 1ninistraion came to an end and Gen. Mario Menocal was inaugurated pres ident of Cuba While Menocal has not been able to bring about a union be- tween the numerous quarreHng and fas1dious elements, he has at least maintained comparative peace through out the republic. Cuba is now better governed and more prosperous than at any time in her history, and the outlook for tte future is full of promise. President Menocal and his official family came in for much criti- OASAAA AO1 CO0AtC1e11lC1nS the DO41nS match between Willard and Johnson, but in this he was actuated by the sound principle that such games as boxing and baseball are vastly to be preferred to the old /sports of bull fighting and cock-fighting, which flourished under the Spanish regime.
 Of all the issues which confront Cuba, the race question is perhaps thc most acute. As over two-thirds of the population of Cuba. is white, however, there is little doubt that the race rep resented by MT. Willard in the recent battle of Havana will be able to
 maintain it's ascendancy over the race of the fallen Johnson It is possible that Cuba may degenerate into an- other Mexico. but it is highly i'm probable that such a fate is in store for the .Ever-FaithfuI Island"
