Nietzsche's s Philosophy

The first to devise philosophical system based on the idea that might makes right was Friedrich Metz scle, who died at Wefmar, Germany, .15 years ago today. Nietzsche was a raving nadman for 12 years prior to his death, at the age of 56, and he was suffering from mental trouble during the period when he wrote most of his wild but brilliant essays. Metz schess philosophy has had a profound effect upon the world, and especially upon the Germans, and many of Ger r1a1y's foes believe they see in the present war the philosophy of the great iconoclast expressed in action rSietzsche Was an anarchist but he had no, use for democracy, and ex- pressed supreme contempt for the sscommon herd. He exalted the aris- tocratic 'superman,'' to whom he would give the power to ruthlessly trampIe upon and exploit the weak He held it was the duty of the super for man, and of the superior nation, to gain and hold power by sheer brute force, and to disregard all laws de- signed to protect the weak and limit the activities of the strong. His doc trine of the stuber- mensch." or ssover- man;s' has been elaborated by many later German writers and philosoph- CTS.

Admiral Karl Stephen, Royal Sailor of Austria,
 May Be King

In the event of a permanent pos- session of Poland by the central enn- pfres one of the most likely candi- dates for the throne of that country, in the opinion of many European ob- servers, is the Archduke Karl Stephen. This Hapsburg prince is a nephew of Admiral Francis Joseph, and holds the rank of commanding admiral of the Austro- Hungarian navy. He was born 55 years ago today, and as a boy entered the navy of Francis Joseph, rising to the highest rank. He is known as an able naval commander, and is said to be one of the most lib era1, tolerant and democratic of the Hapsburgs, of whom there are nearly a hundred archdukes and archduch- essea He. has long made his home in Poland Galieia, and is said to enjoy considerable popularity with the Austrian Poles
 The AFchduke is related by mar riage to two of the most prominent families of the old Polish aristocracy. One of his daughters, the Archduche ess Renata, became the bride of Prince RadziWill, and another, the Arch duchess Eleanora, was married to Prince Alexander Czartoryskf. The Archduke is said to be in thorough sympathy with the Polish naf1onalism movement and has often served as spokesman for the Poles at the i'm pef5aI court.
 The. Poles under Austrian domina- ton, while no less enthusiastic for the restoration of the ancient king dom than those of other lands. have been on the whole much better treat ed than those af German and Russian Poland. The Poles of Ga1fcfa were given a large measure of self-govern- ment by thetfs Austrian rulers, and, untils the war turned Galicia4 into a great battle-ground, they were in -tne enjoyment of a much greater share of material prosperity than the Poles of Russia and Germany.
 Archduke Karl Stephen is one of 66 archdukes of the Hapsburg family, in scluding cousins of the emperord, as well as the descendants of his brothers and sisters, collateral relatives of. the refgning house and4 members of the formerly reigning branches of Modena and Tuscany.

Greenwich, Conn, Aug. 25:-Excite- ment prevailed on the lawn in front of the residence of Mrs Mary Tyson, widow Of H. H. Tyson, Monday af- ternoon, when fifteen-year-old Ernest Albernia held Mrs. Tyson up at the point of a pistol while his~three com panfons, John Spooner, Is; Thomas sIverson, Is, and Matthew Hanley, 1 5. attempted to enter the house.
 Mrs. Tyson noticed the boys on the front lawn about p. m. What are you doing out tpere?" she asked. 'Oh, nothing,,s replied Spooner, who seem ed to be the spokesman. ssWe were just trying to find the railroad track. " Mrs. Tyson told them the nearest way to reach the tracks, and then she re- .quested that they leave the premises.
 They disappeared, but returned a few minutes later and Mrs. Tyson again warned them to leave. Bring along the gum called out Iverson to Albernia who was hiding behind a tree A1bernia obeyed and Mrs. " son found herself staring into the rnuzzIe of a pistol.
 For a moment Mrs. Tyson was frightened, but she finally got up courage enough to grapple with the boy Kand knocked the pistol out of his hand. She then ran into the house, locked the door and notified Constable George Jones.

MORE PARTlCULA LARS IN 1NEW HAVEN'
 CASE ARE SOUGHT

New York. Aug 25-Judge Hunt of the United States district court in New York ruled yesterday that the volum- fnous bill of particulars filed recently by the government in the case of Wil- liam Rockefeller and T other de- fendantss in the New Haven prosecu- tions was not sufficiently enlightening as to one Of the charges. Consequent- iv the judge ordered Assistant United States Attorney General Frank M Swacker to furnish additional partic- ulars to help the i 3 prepare their de- fence to the charge thas tthey conspir- ed to violate the Sherman law.
 The government, Judge Hunt said. must arapIify it's assertion that the de- fendants named were parties to a con spiracy formed as far back as 1890. The defendants, he said, were entitled to know what acts the government would charge them with having com rnitted during the earlier stages Of this conspiracy. or prior to three years before the indictments.
 AIhs Swacker in opposing the grant ing of further particulars told Judge Hunt that a printed record of 400 pages Or more would be required to formation as to all the resolutions passed by them and the aete, commit ted by them in the alleged conspiracy during the period mentioned.
 Judge Hunt in his order gives MT. Swacker 5 days in which to furnish additional information. The Judge said:
 s.The bill of particulars substantial ly informs each of the defendants that after the date on which he joined the conspiracy charged. as an agent, of ficer and director. he participated in the passage of such orders and reso- Iutions, made and adopted such com raittee reports. etc, as would keep up the combinations made before he join ed.''
 The bill. Judge Hunt added. is suf-. f1cient1y explicit as to the acts which the government charges the defend ants with having committed in furth- erance of the conspiracy during the three years preceding the indictment. But the defendants, the court said, are entitled to know what they did before that time that may be used against them at the trial,
 s'In other words. said the judge. the charge that there was a conspir-. acy formed about 1890 which existed thereafter should be parttcularized by a statement of the basic facts showing the creative features of the alleged

According to an Amer ican correspondent who visited Turkey in June and had an interview with Linan sPasha, the latter expressed at that time entire confidence in his ability to withstand the onslaughts of the Allied troops, and declared that the British and French forces would soon be expelled from the peninsula. He then declared that the Allies had accomplished nothing of moment but had been losing ground steadily, and paid a high tribute to the valor of the Turkish troops.

DECLINES.
TO GIVE TESTIMONY

Col Roosevelt has declined the invi-
tation Of the Senate ship bill lobby
committee to testify before it on the
ground that he has no information on
the subject Of the investigation except
such as is available to the public gen.
orally.
The committee intended to question
the colonel tomorrow about articles he
has written bearing on the charge that
the administration was proposing to
buy ships OF the European belligerents
laid up in American ports.
Following a conference between Sen
ators Walsh and Sutherland. Senator
| would not insist upon Col. Roosevelt's 8
appearance. He said that the telegram
sent by the former President would
be considered q sufficient answer to
such questions that the committee
might have asked. and that the tele-
gram would be placed in the records
OF the Investigation.
| The committee. after reading Ian
\ guage used by Col. Roosevelt in ar
article in the Metropolitan Magazine
naturally thought that Col. Roosevelt
had some information which the com.
| mittee should have in making the In
vestigation ordered by the Senate.
| said Senator Walsh. But since Col
| Roosevelt declares that he has not tnli
4 Information, the committee Will no
further request him to appear.
The language of Col Roosevelt tc
which I have reference Is as roiiows
| "They president Wilson and Secretary
Bryan) have endeavored in the inter
ests OF certain foreign business firms
to secure for the United States the
power to purchase the interned shipl
OF one OF the belligerents.'
Senator Walsh said that the commit.
tee had subpoenaed Sidney E. Morse
