GHOTEAu FAMILY.

The first settlement in the vicinity Of Kansas City was established by Pierre Chouteau, who was born in St. Louis l 26 years ago, January 19, 1789- His father and uncle. Pierre and A1- gusfe Chouteau, were the founders of St Louis Pierre Jr., worked for his father and early life began trading in fur, estabnshing posts at many places in the west including that near the future Kansas City. He died in St Louis half a, century ago. From a trading post the budding metropolis, then known as Westport Landing. de- zve1oped into an important Shipping point for the then extensive steamboat trade, and was the soutfitting and starting point for the California over land parties who followed tn eSantai Fe train St. Joseph, Atehison, L.eaveuworth and other Missouri river towns were at a later period Kansas City's rivals for supremacy as a. rail
 way center and distri outing point for
 the southwest. When Pierre Cho-
 teau died Kansas City was still a vil- Iage. but by 1870 it has begun to put on city airs, and had g. population of S2, 290 This increased to 55.276 in 1880. to 132, As in 1890 ,and to 163.- 752 in 1900. The present population, including that part of the city in Kan
 sas, is about 400, ,000.

GEN. DANKL.

Geu. Viktor DanEl, one of the most distinguished of Austrias military leaders, iA sixty years old. He has had a long and brilliant career in the army of the Dual Monarchy Enter ing the military service as a boy, he won his pronnotions by sheer ability, and not by influence At the outbreak of the war the Archduke Frederick, the commander in chief Of Austria, s armed forces, gave to General Danki the most important task of repeA1ng the Russia1 advance. The army un- der his command has had to bear the brunt Of the Russian attack, and, al though often defeated and swept back, General Danlxl has contrived to es- cape the many plans for his complete ruin. On several occasions It mas been hinted that General Dankl has disagreed with the plans of his Prus7 sian allies, and that there has been much friction between them, but these reports lack conhrfnation- In appearance General DankI is distinct Iy of the Teutonic type and decidedly soldierly He carries his three-score years easily and might easily pass for a man Of forty-five. At least, that was true before the war, but it is not i'm probable that the cares and respons1- bilities of the last few months have weighed heavily upon him. Of all the Austrian commanders, General DMnlxl has had to face the most diff hcult and critical situations Time and again, during the early period of the Russian advance, his forces
 were Threatened with annihilation and disruption,s but General DanIl always succeeded in extracating them.

DIR. JORDAN, e4 TO-DAY
 URGES DISARMAMENT
 FOR UNCLE SAM

While the European war has given a great impetus to the movement for a larger army and dsnavy for the Unit ed States. one distinguished citizen Of the republic. pr. David Starr Jor- dan, urges disarmament on the part. Of the United States. pr. Jordan was born sixty-four years ago today at Gainesville, N. r. In his young man hood he became noted as an authori- ty on natural history He specialized In the study of fishes and other deni- zens of the deep. Thirty years ago he became president of Indiana Uni versity, and in 1891 he became the head of Leland Stanford University in California. Of late years Dr. Jor- dams principal interests have been he resigned the presidency of Stan ford, and was made chancellor, in or der that he might devote more time to the peace cause. He was engaged in a lecture tour of Europe when the war broke out and disrupted his plans While he favors disarma- ment as the final goal, pr. Jordan has urged that the first step the United States should take is to es- tablish government factories for the manufacture of arms and other nec- essities of warfare, so that the eIe- ment of private profit would be eIim- mated To the Krupps and others in the same business he attributes the
 manufacture of the popular senti-
 ment which brought the European Econhagration. As an advocate of eu- 1 genics, Dr. Jordan foresees great evils as a, result of this war. A large 1 proportion of the millions of picked men now engaged in fighting Flu ropes battles will be killed. he de
 cIares. and the remainder will suffer 1 injuries and privations which will greatly reduce their stamina. Those who have been rejected as unfit for I the army will become the parents ot l the next generation. In short, the eff fleet of war, according to pr. Jordan I is to spoil the human breed" The I famous educator has no hopes of ar i early peace. f'The end of the wal Twill come when the money gives out,'' he recently asserted, flor the | money will be exhausted long before i the human material Yet in this
 terrible situation Dr. Jordan can set a ray of light, for he believes that al
 one result of the war there will b.
 an extension of democracy in Flu irope. The worst democratic gov
 ernment,' he declared, lis bettei
 than any handed down from above
 and a gain in democracy seems in
 evitabIe'' Of all the issues of tn
 war, says pr. Jordan, none is nor
 important than this, that the Ger
 man people should take possession Q
 Germany"
