SHAH OF PERSIA

One of the richest prizes of the present war is Persia, where for years the diplomats of Russia, Great Bri- tain and Germany have been strug- g1ing for the ascendancy. The pres ent ruler of that ancient land is Shah Ahmed Mirza, boy of eighteen, who was elevated to the throne in the Summer of 1914. The petroleum of Persia is coveted by Germany, and ever since the war began the agents of the central empires have been car rying on a diplomatic warfare against the Russians and British. A few months ago it was reported that Ger many had won, and that the Shah had made 8 secret treaty with Emper- or William whereby he virtually be- came Gerrnany's ally. Later reports from Teheran state that the Shah, af- ter a conference with his advisers
 announced his friendliness for Great Britain and Russia, and admitted that fer year he had been offered every inducenent to join Germany. While the Persian Shah is described as a very intelligent boy, and a, student and tica1ly certain that he has no real in- words and actions are dictated by his of independence which Persia has naintatned in recent years has been due only, to the jealousy of the great powers. The country which was the seat of one of the greatest empires of the ancient world is likely, after the war, to pass under the suzeranity

Danish Queen, 36
 Today, Is a Sister of
 German Grown Princess

Queen A1exandrine of Denmark is perhaps the least known of European queens for she has led a quiet and re- tired life, and little has been written about her. She was born thirty-siX years ago to-day, the daughter of the late Grand Duke Frederick III, of Mecklenburg- -Schwerin. Queen Alex Crown Princess Cecilie of Germany. She became the bride of Prince Chris tian of Denmark in 1898, some seven years before her sister was led to the altar by the heir to the German inn perial throne. She became Queen of Denmark in 1912, when her hus- band succeeded his father, Frederick VIII, as King Christian x
 Queene Alexandrine has never ta- ken prominent part in Danish affairs and, owing to poor health, she has for years spent much of her time in the south of Europe She has given two sons to her husband. the eldest, Crown Prince Frederick, being now in his seventeenth year. while Prince Knud is 9. little more than. a. year his ju- nior.
 Like most of the members of Euro pean royal families, the Danish Queen is related by blood and through mar riage to many other ruling houses She is the granddaughter of Grand Duke Michael of Russia, the last surviving grandnncle of Car Nicholas. who died in 1909 Michael married the Princess Cecilie of Baden, and the eld- est daughter of this marriage, Anasta- sla, became the wife of the Grand Duke of Mecklenhurg-Schwe She is also related through marriage to the royal families of Great Britalns Germany, Norway and Greece.

German Exi1es Founded
 Gymnastics In America

On Christmas Eve in 1924, just 91 years ago to-day, a ship arrived in New York harbor which numbered among it's passengers a. small com panY of Germans who sought in the World a refuge from the deSpotism of the Fatherland. They were polit- ica1 exiles, oJltcasts from their native land, who had fled from Germany to escape Imprisonment for the crime of advocating the cause of liberty Am ong them were Carl Pollen and Carl Beck, the pioneers of gymnastics in Amer ica~ In the old country Pollen and Beck had been enthusiastic pupils of Friedrich L. Jahns the father of Ger man gymnastics, and upon their ar rival in America they set about the task of spreading the gospel of phys teal culture among the youths of the United States and Canada Dr. Fran cis Lieber, George Bancroft,N the his torian, and other distinguished men, suit was that introduction of gym nasfics in a number of the leading colleges.
 From that day nearly a century ago when Pollen and Beck landed in New York, the Teutons have been proni- nent in the gymnastic and athletic ac- tivities of the New World. Until com paratively recent times the masses of the Germans held ialoof from the typ ica1Iy American sports and pastimes, andand while giving enthusiastic sup port to their own gynnnastic and Tur- ner unions, manifested little interest in baseball, football pr boxing. This spirit of exclusivenesB is gradually dy- ing out. however, and the result is to be seen in the recent records of base ball and boxing.
 Ion the diamond the men of Teuton blood are giving the Irish hard race for supremacy, as witness such names as Wagner, Herzog. Max Carey, Hob 1itzelI, Merkle, Dahlen Tinker, Chick Stahl, Lobert, Schang, Schalk. Schae- fer. Kling, SteinfeIdt, Re!tz, Stenzel. Gumbert, Zimmerman, Hess. Schek- ard, Engel and scores of other stars and near-stars of the past and pres ent.
 In boxing the descendants of the German pioneers have also won high place with dozens of champions and near champions, including Billy Pap ke, Ad Wolgast, Willie Ritchie and nna.nyS others

 i Although the exhibition is conduct ed to show the best there is in the var i fol1s breeds, the committee has found that a limited number of freaks ap- peals to the general public. For that reason it has admitted as one of these a three-legged barred PynoIuth Rock

 'tscratcher.'s

EMO ESTATE MAY

Columbia University May Be Able to Equip New
 Hospital.

New York. Dec 24-That the estate left by Amos F. Emo of Saugatuck; is likely to amount to $15, 100000, as es- tinated by his heirs-at-law, instead of less than SIC, 0,000,OOO, as computed by MT Emo himself when he made his will, leaving the bulk of his property to Columbia University, was disclosed in the surrogates' court yesterday when list of his securities was filed by the temporary administrators, Lu- cius H. Beers, Will ann P. Emo and William Mitchell
 i Provided the will filed for probate Oct. 2S stands, in the, face of the contest being made by MT. Eno's next of kin, Columbia University's share of the estate will be about $7,00o,000 ac- cording to yesterdays computations The will provides that Columbia is to receive the residuary estate, which on the basis of total estate of about SIG, 100000 was estimated at $2,Oo0,- GOO.
 Should the university authorities de- eide to so employ it the bequest would go a long way toward fulfilling Colun- bias part of the medical centre pro ject. Announcement was made last June of plans for such a centre, to comprise the Presbyterian hospital and the College of Physicians and Sur geons, to be built on the site of the old American League Park at Broadway and 165th street.
 According to the estimate then made the total cost of the project was to be s1e, ,7oO,0OO, the Presbyterian Hospitals share being $9,20O,00O and Columbia's portion of the expenditure $7,5oO.OOO. The plans call for a cen tre of medical learning comparable with those of Paris, Vienna and Ber- lin.
 MT. Beers made affidavit that the interest and dividends paid on the securities last year was between $225,- 900 and $275,o Through the action of the administrators in depositing the securities with the United States Trust Company the administrators are re- quired to give a bond for only $500.- 0O0.
