voN MoLTKE

Gen. Julius von Moltke, nephew of the great field marshal, who was chief of the general staff of the Ger man army in the early days of the 1enburg, sixty seven years ago today, May 25, 1S48. He is gigantic and bur1y~ in stature, standing nearly seven feet in his hosiery-taller even than the renowned Jess Willard, the savior of the white race. There Is another similarity between the Ger man leader and the Kansas pugflist, for in his youth von MoItke was an adept in the manly art. and his fistic prowess won, for him the respect Of all the other students at the WIes- baden tgymnasiuIIy here he received his early education. Like his inn mortal uncle, Gen. von Mo1tke is not ed for his disinclination- to garrulity, and in German army circles he was often called Gloomy Julius It is said that Gen. von Moltke has never been seen to smile. It is said that Gen. von Moltke was appointed chief of staff at the urgent solicitation of the kaiser, and despite his modest insistence that he was not competent to hold 50 high a post in the army. He managed to hold the job for seven years, however, although he was often in conflict with his imperial master. When it came to actual war fare, the nephew of the great field marshal disagreed with the emperor on so many points that he was reIev- ed of his job, illness being given as the reason for his retirement. Gen von MoItke was the favorite nephew of the old field marshal, and inherit ed his uncIe's. favorite estate and most valuable personal belongings. The Mo1tkes are of Danish origin, and Gen. von Moltke's father was cham berlain to the king of Denmark. The general was a sub-ieutenant in the Franco-Prussian war, and afterward served as adjutant to his uncle on the general staff. His first important post was quartermaster-g general of the army. He is passionate1y fond of mu- sic, and it is said, is the best musician in the kaiser's army

Independence Day in
 Argentine Republic


 This is Independence Day in the Ar genuine republic, the most prosperous and stable of the South American ma lions. The war for freedom from Spain began in Argentina on May g, 1910, and ever since that date has been observed as the great patriotic festival of the country, when San Martin, Admiral Guillermo Brown, Don Manuel Belgrano and other heroes are honored.
 Argentina has progressed in wealth and productiveness in a marvellous manner during the last quarter of a century, and it is probable that more great fortunes have been accumulated there in that period than in any other country in the world. The country is still sparsely settled, comparatively speaking, although the capital. Buenos Ayres had a population of 4,560, 163, having almost doubled in a decade, and at present it is probably larger than Philadelphia, and is surpassed only by New York and Chicago among the cities of the New World.
 Argentina had it's full share of rev. olutions and rebe1lions in it's early history as a republic, but that period is past. and the government is now seemingly as stable as that of the United States. While Argentina lacks the great natural resources of Brazil, it has the advantage of being in a temperate climate. The cost of living is higher in Buenos Ayres than in any other great city of the world-but there is the consolation that-in the opinion of the inhabitants is worth more

STOCK MARKET

New York, May 25-opening Trading in stocks at today's opening was dull, in striking contrast to. the previous days initial dealings. Such interest as was manifested centered almost wholly around the war special ties, the more important of which re- corded declines ranging from frac- tions to over a point.
 Noon-Prices receded gradually in all parts of the list during the very dull first hour period. The average level of quotations was under yester- days lowest figures, investment shares as well as specialties, by reflecting mild pressure. The short interest was a factor selling from that quarter be- ing again based upon rumors concern ing the tenor of Germany's forthcom- ing reply to Washington's note. As a matter of fact, the market was left largely to the trading element, inter est being utterly lacking. Some inn provement was noted at noon. Bonds were steady.

Centenary of Caselli,
 "the Morse of Italy"

In the development of an electric telegraph it remained for an Italian, Marconi, to achieve its most wonder ful application, the wireless Mar conf is but one of several Italians who have played important parts in the history of the telegraph. One of the most dIstin guished e4 the earlier ex- perimenters in the telegraphic field was Jean Casel1i, whose centenary will be celebrated today by Italian scien- lists.
 SCaseIIi, sttheS Morse of Italy," was born at Sienna, May 25, 1915, and was educated at Florence, where he studied under the eminent physicist, Leopold Nobih. CaselH's first literary work dealt with the life and achieve ments of his master. After delivering many noteworthy addresses before the Italian Athenaeun, Caseln took re- 4igious orders. After serving for a. time as tutor to the children of Count on account of a political vote, and re- turned to Florence.
 In that city Caselli devoted himself entirely to the study of electrical sci ence. The telegraph, then Just being perfected. attracted much of his at tention, and in 1856 he perfected a new system of telegraphy, which he called -telegraphy,'' by which the message was transmitted as originally written. This system of autograph te1egraphy was adopted in France, Russia, Persia, and China. Later in life Abbe CaselH was engaged in nak- ing a, practicable electric motor. With the financial backing of Napoleon III. of France he constructed 8 motor in 1865 which was considered at the time a, very wonderful affair, a1th ough it would be thought very crude today.
 CaseHi was a. brilliant writer, and was the founder of the publication La, Recreazione, designed to foster popular interest in physical sciences among the Italians. Caselli died in Florence in 1891.

King Frederick August of
 saxony is Fifty Today

Frederick August HI, king of Saxony and head of one of the oldest reigning families of Europe, will pass the haIf-century mark today, as he was born May 25, 1865. He has oc-. eupied the ancient Saxon throne for more than a, decade, having succeed ed his father, King George, in Octo- Der, 1904. Before the war Frederick August was at the head of a league of the non -PruSsian Sovereigns in op- position to the imperial army taxes, and in other ways often manifested a disposition to be independent of inn periaI domination Ever since he came to the throne the Saxon mon arch has opposed Prussian projects, and before the war and since, he has spite of this attitude, the kaiser has recognized his fellow monarch as a soldier and statesman of ability and resource, and on several occasions has invited him to the imperial war coun- cils. In the conflict that is now rag ing the soldiers of Saxony, while forming a, part of the imperial forces have maintained their identity and have been led in action by their king. The stalwart fighting men of Saxony bore the brunt of the first rush into Belgium. They were in. the van guard in the attack on the forts of Liege, and suffered heavily from the devoted resistance of. the gallant Belgians. They again distinguished themselves in the advance on Antwerp and in the attempted dash on Calais, al- though the Saxon king is said to have opposed the latter movement, in which the thin red Iine'' of Britain held firm against repeated assaults After that fiasco, it is alleged, Fred erick August returned to Dresden, declaring that he would not again of fer his advice unless it was sought, by the kaiser.
 Frederick August is the son of the late King George and the Infanta, Maria Anne, daughter of King Ferdi- nand of Portugal. He married, in 1891, Princess Louise of Tuscany, who gave him three daughters and three sons. The marriage was dissolved in 1903, the year before Frederick Au- gust aseended the throne, after the Grown Princess has eIoped with a, tutor Later the ex-Crown Princess became the wife of Signor Toselh, the Italian composer. The kings eldest son, Grown Prince George, is now in his twenty-second year, and is serv- ing in the Saxon army, as are his brothers, Prince Frederick Christian and August Ernst The Saxon royal house has long been prominent in German history, and gave an en- peror to Germany as early as the tenth century.
