LOVE LIFE AND EuaENIcs.

Suppose the eugenists could have
their way and Danish love, who would
care to live? What purpose would
life have? It would have none. There
would be no life, only an existence
wearisome and dull. The world feels
that love Is beautiful, It sees in prac.
ttce that 1t Is true. Love makes the
world, love keeps It, only to love shall
1t be given In the future. Therefore
have poets sung 1t and story!tellers
told Of 1t; therefore do eyes, shine
and cheeks burn for It. Therefore 1t
is the soul Of art, OF music, Of litera.

WHO'S WHO in THE WAR.

Count Leopold Won Berchtold, the
author of the Austrian ultimatum to
Servia which precipitated the war,
came Of an ancient family and has
long been reckoned among the ablest
OF Francis Joseph's diplomats and
statesmen. AS minister Of foreign af-
fairs and de facto chancellor of the
Dual monarchy-a post he resigned
last month-Count Won Berchtold was
in charge of the proceedings which
led up to the most ,momentous conflict
In the worlds history. Emperor VIII
liam, Gar Nicholas, President Pom
care and Premier Viviani were all at
sea-literally II not figuratively-and
Emperor Francis Joseph was on a
hunting trip when Berchtold's pre-em-
tory ultimatum to Seryia startled the
whole world. The declaration OF war
on Servia, which resulted in the call
to arms resounding over Europe, was
Issued by Count Won Berchtold over
his own name. Just how far he acted
on his own initiative, to what extent
he was inspired by others, is not
known, and may never be known. As
matters stand, however, Count Won
Berchtold Is, at least from a superfc-
ial view, the official author Of the con-
aict. Many reasons are given for his
retirement, but the most plausible
is that he favored the abandonment
Of the Austrian offensive against Ser.
via, which the Hungarians loudly de-
manded. Count Berchtold's patent Of
nobility dates from the fifteenth CEN
tury. For several years he was at
tached to the London embassy, where
he was q close friend Of the late King
Edward. He came into prominence
as Austrian ambassador to Paris in,
1sos, when the annexation Of Bosnia
and Herzegovina by Austria made re-
lations between that government and
Russia very critical. Count Won,
Berchtold was charged with responsi.
billy for the consequent humiliation
OF Russia, and returned to Vienna,
where he was made chancellor and
minister OF foreign aifairs.

TooAY's BIRTHDAY PARTY.
By o. Terence.
Harry Thaw. Again in Llm.llsh.. a

Iooay.
Harry Kendall Thaw, the central
figure In the most sensational battle
for life and liberty ever fought in the
American courts, II forty-lve years
old today. For more than eight years
he has spent the greater part OF his
time In prisons and an asylum for
the criminal insane, and his sensa.
tional escape from the latter institu-
ton, his flight to Canada. his expul-
sion from that country, his recent re-
turn to New York and the beginning
OF another determined fight for free
dom, have kept him almost con
tinually in the limelight. The young
Pittsburgh millionaire was noted for
his eccentricities on two continents
before he fred the shot which killed
Stamford White and ECHOED round
the world. 1t was in June OF 1906 that
Thaw, poising as the avenger OF his
beautiful child wife," Evelyn Nesbit,
killed the celebrated architect in the
Madison Square Garden roof. In the
following January Thaw was hailed
before the courts to answer to the
charge of murder. The prominence
OF both murder and victim. and the
element OF sordid romance injected
into the proceedings by Evelyn Thaw,
as we'll az the sensational revelations
of high life" in the American metro
polls, made the case interesting to
newspaper readers the world over.
During the first trial William Travers
Jerome, who has been prominent in
nearly all the subsequent proceedings
concerning Thaw, asked for a COM
mission to inquire into Thaw's sanity,
and he was declared sane. In April
the Jury disagreed. and Thaw was re.
turned to prison. The second trial,
in 1908, resulted in a verdict Of &C.
,quittal on the ground of insanity, and.
Thaw was committed to Matteawan
asylum for the criminal insane. In.
April. 1908, Thaw applied for his first
writ OF habeas corpus. but the writ
was dismissed on the ground that
Thaw's release would DO Dangerous
to the public" Thaw then demanded
a jury trial to prove his sanity, but
the application al denied. Thaw
appealed, but again failed. In 1908
Thaw secured a second writ, but
again failed in his attempt to prove
himself sane. Two higher courts Gus.
tanned the Mills decision refusing
Thaw-a jury trial. In 1912 Thaw Sc
cured a third habeas corpus writ. but
1t was dismissed, and a fourth writ in.
1913 also failed of effect. In August
OF 1913 Thaw escaped from Mattea.
wan in a motor car. and reached
Canada, but was expelled, and, after
a long legal battle, was returned to
New York.
