GERMAN NOBILITY MORT ALlTY SHO WN.
 IN NOTED ANNUAL
Honorary Commissions. in Armies of Enemies Are Re-
 duced Now to Six.

Berlin Jan .15.-Publfcation of the Almanac de Gotha for 1915 and the various genealogical annuals which has just taken place here re veaIs that up to November first IT'S members of the German nobility had met death on the battlefield or had succdmbed to wounds received in ac- ton.
 It is shown that of members he longing to the 'sgraefnche' houses, or families carrying the title of count. wounds by November 1. The ieherrlichen'' or baron1ca1 fanli- lies had lost 2O9 members through the war, while the very essence of German nobility, the 4tUradeligeri'' families, who trace their ancestors to the year of 1850 or beyond, had lost 246 members in all. The farni- lies hit hardest are the Arnins with 8, the Wedels with 8, the Oertzens with ', and the Deckens with mem bers. But the class of nobility which seems to have suffered most, though it is by no means the most numer- ous, is that whose members have been knighted by letters patent. and who are known in Germany as s.brIefade1ige'' houses This class lost 250- members.
 The total number of losses through
 
 result of wounds received in action .of the German nobility is, therefore, 779, up to November l.
 According to the Almanac de Gotha the following members of German and foreign reigning houses still retain their honorary commands in the enemies armies: Prince Henry of Prussia, colonel Second Russian Hussar Regiment; Grand Duke of Oldenburg, colonel 67th Russian Infantry Regiment: German empress, colonel Russian Garde du Corps Hussars; Russian empress, Colonel German Second Guard Dragoon Regiment; Queen Mary of England. colonel German Fifth Illus sars; Duchess of Connauglt, colonel 64th German infantry regiment. The large number of honorary comr1.fs- sions held formerly by mem btrs of the reigning houses of Europe in foreign armies has thus sunk to six an infinitesimal fraction of the mum bers of other years.

RUGLER HALTS FIRE OF GERMAN CHARGE
 BUT HIS RUSE FAILS

Berlin, Jan. 15.-An English bug 1er's mistake, due to the fact that his Knowledge of the German army calls was not quite perfect, frustrat- ed asc1ever strategen of the enemy in Flanders, according to a report of a German returned from the front .on furIough. At one point along the line the artillery had been prepar- ing the ground for an assault, and the order was finally given for au : vance.
 The Germans were charging sue cessfulIy, losing not too heavily and being well supported, when they were amazed to hear the bugle call, Cease hring!" They threw them. selves down. revi1ing and lamenting the fact that, at such a favorable moment, it had been felt necessary to stop the advance. In their posi- ton the next call could hardly be anything but the retreat and they lay listening for it. To their amaze men, however, an amazement in- stantly succeeded by full realization of what had happened, the mess calI,'' the signal for rations, was blown. The English bugler. who, safely enseonced in some deceptive place. had stopped the charge with his first call, had made a costly mis- take.
 The charge was resumed, and when it ended the Germans had taken the trenches at which they had been aiming.

AMUSING THE PUBIIo.

Marshall P Wilder, the noted hu- morist who died 8 few days ago. was an interesting type Of the older men in the business of entertaining the about this country and Europe and found a ready demand for his fun at 50 cents a ticket.
 Years ago. when humor had not been so scommercia1ized, a single an tertainet would thus arnuse the public for a whole evening. People did not attend entertainments so frequently in those days, particularly in She smaller cities and country places A man with keen sense of humor and good powers of rninicry could keep an audience laughing for a couple 6f hours. Humorous lecturers were more numerous. They covered the country exhaustively, and found large and profitable audiences.
 Nowadays the public is more sopais- ticated. 1t is hard to find new jokes. An audience demands incessant change. swift motion from one ecosn- tr1city to mother MT. Wilder might have. been able to keep his hearers Of 1880 going until 10 D. m. Even if he was once considered the best living monoIogist of his type, the crowd would now say enough in 20 minutes and demand some new sensation.
