KENTUCKY NOVELIST HAD STIRRING EXPERIENCES
 IN WAR-MAD AUSTRIA

Adventures quite stirring as he had ever imagined in writing his novels fell to the lot of Joseph A. Altsheler,. the American author, be- fore he escaped from Austria follow ing the outbreak of the war MT. A1tsheIer was born at Three Springs, Ky, fifty-three vars ago today, April 29, 1882 and began his career as a, writer on the staff of a Louisville paper in 1885. In 1892 he went to New York, joining the editorial staff of The World, and five years later he published the first of many nov els, s"The Sun of Saratoga.s' In the days preceding the war MT. A1tsheIer travelled from Berlin to Vienna, in trains crowded with soldiers He found the streets of the Austrian cap fta1 filled with shouting, war-mad people, as gay and Hght-hearted as if celebrating a, festival and all an imated by a, bitter hatred of the Ser bians.
 The American author took the last train out of Vienna, bound for the West. and his conversations with of ficers caused him to believe that the Austrians hoped to crush Russia and France, as well as Serbia
 In Germany he found that ''the feeling was more bitter against France than against Russia and everywhere the conviction was forced on our | Germany and Austria to dtsmember France At Munich he found the streets filled with soldiers, and near Iy 2,0O0 Americans shut off from the outside world For a week they were held in Munich. There was nothing in the German papers" he said, except accounts of German victories, the assassination of Pres ident Poincare.. Paris in flames un- der the commune, the German army marching victoriously through France, Paris on the verge of fal1- ing. and all the issues of the war already settled But even the most sanguine Germans were terribly dis appointed when they heard that Eng land had.

We were told that no boats could run be tween England and America, thai German submarines were threatening every English port, and that zeppe- Iins were dropping bombs on Lon- don and destroying the city. The sus- pense for the Americans became ter rib1e, but at length we induced the Bavarian government to provide spe- ciaI trains to take us to Holland.

WOMAN's COLLEGES

The first American college for the higher edsication of women was founded by Matthew Vassar, a brew CT. who was born in NorfoIk, Eng land. 12S years ago today. His father can1e to America and settled on a farm near Poughkeepsie when Mat thew was four years old. Five years later the family removed to Pough- keepsie, where the elder Vassar estab- lished the business of brewing ale. He was very successful, and Matthew Vassar inherited a brewing business which made him very wealthy. Tn 1845 he decided to devote a portion of the fortune he had made from the ale industry to. the founding of a col leg for the higher education of young women, and donated $400,0O to the institution now known as Vassar Col 1ege, at oughkeepsie1 When Mat thew Wassar died in 1868 he left s400, 900 more to the college he had founded, and his nephew, also named Matthew Vassar. made several other lavish contributions. as did another nephew, John Guy Vassar All of the Vassars were engaged in the brew ing business. It has lately been al- 1eged that the ghost of Vassar's foun- der now haunts the old farm house where he lived for many years

Bridgeport Student Praises Work of the

John J.

He spoke of the influence of the Knights of Columbus of patriotism and on re- ligion- Tn part he said:
 saThe Knights of Columbus have accomplished. are accomplishing and will continue to accomplish, an in oa1culable amount of good. for the church, for society. for the fndivid- ual. It's noble influence is keen1y felt wherever it's seeds of charity and righteousness have been sown.
 s'Furthermores every Knight of Columbus is the possessor of those sterling qualities which constitute real, Christian Catholic manhood Among his fellow beings he can serve as a most potent factor because he is inde1ibly stamped with the mot to-, malice towards none. charity for aIl' In the past the K. of c. have been painted in false coIors by un- patriotic. deceitfu1 individuals, who would glory in the dissolution of this grand organization. Their mental de- pravity is assured1y a curse to every form of government and especially to these United States, where love of liberty gives them full sway.
 .tConsequently we must put forth every available effort to withstand these unca1led for attacks Thank God, within very recent date we have done wonderful work in this regard, as has been shown, especially by MT. Goldstein and Collins who have suc- ceeded in dispe11ing many of the evils of Socialism.

GEN. RUSsKY

Gen. Russky, the Russian military hero who retired from active service this month, is about seventy years old. Upon leaving the army, in which he has spent the greater part of his life, Gen. Russky was made a mem Der of the Council oe the Empire. the. Upper House of the Russian Parlia- ment. He has had 3. brilliant career as a. soldier, beginning with the Tlr- kish war in 1877, and. has long been one of the most distinguished of the Cars commanders. Gen. Russl<y beginning of the war, but he refused to accept the privilege until i'll health made it necessary. For several years
 he has been afflicted with cancer, and the responsibilities and hardships incident to life in the field robbed him of his strength and made neces- sary his return to Fetrograd. Early in the present conflict Gen. Russky demonstrated his bravery and sagac- ity by defeating the combined armies of the two Kaisers and capturing Lenberg. His last important success was the battle at Przasnysz, where, according to the Russian reports, he completely outwitted and outfought his opponents In appointing Gen. Russky to the Upper House, the Ern- speror praised highly his military rec ord and service. The retirement of Gen Russky marked the passing of almost the last of the Cars septua- genarian military leaders. In Russia, as in Germany and France. it has been discovered that the man of sew enty, no matter how valuable he may be in an advisory capacity, is not equal to withstanding the rigors of leading armies in the field. Com paratively young men now head the armies of Europe, and, with 3 few notable exceptions. the venerable warriors have had to take back seat in the theatre of war.
