KING VICTOR's BIRTHDAY

Italians everywher ere will celebrate tomorrow the foI-ty-sixth birthday of king Victor Emmanuel III@or Wit torio, Emanuele as his subjects spell
 his name. While the Italian monarch has given the supreme command of his army to one better. qualified by
 military training to undertake the task, he has spent most of his time at the front since Italy entered the war, and, in spite of the expostula- tions of his officers, it is said that he persists in exposing himself to many dangers. Many thrilling stories of narrow escapes, with Victor Emman- ueI as the hero, have come out of Italy, and where there is so much smoke there must be some fire. Wherever he goes the King is receiv- ed with .uproarious applause. and his presence is an Inspiration to greater xalor on the part of the soldiers who are fighting for the recovery of Italia Tired denta. 2 As the result of war Victor Emmanuel has become the popular idol, and the old 5prejudices against the house of Savoy have seemingly disappeared, while social ists, republicans and even anarchists, look upon the King as the man of the hour. Victor Emmanuel, because of his simplicity, demo ocracy and hatred of pornp and ceremony, has always enjoyed the favor of@the great mass es of the people; but until the out break of the present war he had many enemies among the aristocraey. While the Italian King was given a thorough military training, he has found his chief pleasures in the arts of peace. He has been called the walking encyclopedias" because of his wide range Of 5 Knowledge, but nuIs-
 matics and economics have been his speeiaItles. His intense devotion to
 his Montenegrin wife, and to his children. and his love of quiet and simple domesticity, while, alienating the nobility, have further. endeared him to the masses. rs

DIR. VAN DYKE, AUTHOR AND DTPLO-
 MAT, IS 63 TODAY

Dr. Henry van Dyke. the disting- uished clergyman, author and educa- tor who was made United States minister to Holland by President Will son, was born in Germantown. Pa, the son of a, clergyman, sixty-three years ago today. During the early days of the war Dr. Van Dyke was presented with multitude of prob lens connected with the exodus of American tourists from Europe. He was the guardian of the open door by which communication between the beI1igerents was kept open through Queen WiIhelrnina's dominions. He was able to reassure thousands or Americans and Englishmen as to the safety of friends or relatives Tn Ger many, the American legation at The Hague having more of this sort of work to do than any other diplomatic post The poet and scholar proved fully equal to the narrowing tasks imposed by Mars, and wore himself out in the service of others. On his return to America. last winter Dr. van Dyke described Holland t'as a sort of bottle neck through which thousands of refugees passed from Germany and other parts of Europe.-' During the first few months of the conflict more than. 5o00O refugees passed through Holland The Dutch people. he said, had cared for tens of thousands of Belgian refugees, and there was hard ly a family in the Netherlands which was not caring for one or more of the unfortunates from the neighbor- ing nation.
 aDr. Van Dyke was scarcely seven teen when he. graduated from Brook lyn Polytechnic Institute. He then decided to follow the example of his father and enter the ministry, and after graduating from Princeton, Un- ion Theological Seminary and Berlin University he entered the Congrega- tiona1 ministry and was paced in charge of 8. church at Newport, R. I. In 1883 he was called to the Brick Presbyterian church. Fifteen years ago he joined, the Princeton faculty as professor of English literature. His career as author and poet was com menced more than thirty years ago, and nearly two score volumes of prose and verse now stand to his credit. AS a, bard his songs of outdoor life and the joys of fishing have been widely read and have won the praise of the critics as well as of a multi tude of less. critical admirers

FERDINAND OF BULGARIA

There is certainly no abIer man on any European throne, and one may doubt whether even the Kaiser's per sana1ity has stronger vein of inaagi- nation and of self-wilL An intel lectua1'' among kings, governed by an ambition which ranges from the min or vanities to an imperial megalo- mania it is his foible to contrast the superiority of his own gifts over those fo his brother kings with the mar roWness of the scope for their exer- else.

To giE it. a. daring and drantic completion, to make it's quantity as impressive as it's quality to restore by his own gift of stete- craft the old empire of the Bulgarian Tsars, that is the dream which led King Ferdinand into the avofdable ad- venture of the second Balkan war, and the still more reckless and in caIcuable. gamble of his present poli- cy The adroitness, the subtlety. the power of management of this formid- able but sinister personality has been his undoing.

WHAT A BosCHE IS.

Until the war broke out few Anerl- cans had heard the word bosche or boche, the French soldiers nickname for a German. It doesn't appear in the Academy's dictionary or in such editions of LittFe as most of us can get hold of, In Delvau's slang die tionary its definition is 'tmauVais su- jet, dans Target des petites danes. qui le preferent au Tnuche"; which last word Delvau defines as "jeune homme poll, doux, ainabIe, reserve" let ter from MT. Thomas Ogi1vy. to the Spectator supplies some. additional i'm formation. He says M. Theodore Joran is his authority for saying that Littre does define bosche, and defines it as ulcer or pestiIential tumor. M. JoJr- an thinks it related to the Latin buc- ca, which means first the cheek, re- garded as a. puffabIe thing, and then, according to Harper's{ Latin diction- ary, lone who fills his cheeks in speak

GETS HIS REVENGE
AGED French General Waits "a
Years for Day.
Since 1870 General Maunoury, Recent
Iy Decorated by King George,
Has Worked and Planned
for Revenge on Germans.

Paris.-"I owe to you the attain
ment of the aim towards which all my
efforts, all my energy have been
strained for forty-four years past-re-
venge for 1870"
This message from the order OF the
day in which General Maunoury
thanked his troops for their victorious
participation in the battle of the
Marne, explains the whole life Of the
veteran upon whom King George has
conferred the order of st. Michael and
st. George.
In a war which has clamored for
the qualities of youth, general upon
the retired list, sixty-seven years OF
age. might we'll have imagined that
his hopes Of active employment were
vain. that the most he could expect
would be some post as organizer In
the depots well to the rear of the zone
of operations.
General Maunoury was called from
his flowers and his E-.rming in the
Loir ct Cher in August, and came to
Paris in the hope of obtaining some
command in the field where he would
be able to work directly for the re
vanche."
At the outset of the war all the gen.
eral officers belonged to the active
army. and for a time General Maun-
curry had to content himself with the
useful, if less satisfying, work OF In
specting depots and the organization
of reserves.
It was not long, however, before
he was given the command OF an army
formed at Verdun, at the head or
which he took part in the early ana
disastrous fighting along the belgian
frontier. During the retreat ne 1ougnt
a series of actions with the greatest
brilliance. while at the same time re-
organizing and completing his force.
General Maunoury was ordered to
Paris to undertake the task or organ
iz,no and commanding tie army des-
+inad in the event of things turning
out badly on the Marine, TO act In the
defense of Paris.
bu+ to General Maunoury it aroused
MANY cruel memories, for he had be-
oun his military career in the army
of Paris in 1870 and, as artillery Of
f,cer. had known the bitterness of de-
feat in the series of battles which was
fought in the neighborhood of the capt.
tai
That bitterness he wiped out In sig
nal manner at the head OF the army
of Paris which at the critical moment
swung on to the German right along
the Ourcq, and withstanding the most
terrible battering for days, finally pre-
cipitated the general retreat OF the
enemy back to the Aisne.
General Maunoury comes from
family which has been noted for its
service to the countryside of the Loir
