REGINALD NPKENNA, B, LOOKS AFTER "s1NEws OF WAR;

It is to Great Britain that eeae allies look for financial support during the greatest armed conflict in history, and it is to the Rt. Hon. Reginald Me Kenna, the chancellor of the ex- chequer in the coalition cabinet, that his colleagues look to devise ways and
 means for supplying the 'sinews of war. The man whose shoulders must bear this tremendous burden was born in London ffty-two years ago today. He was educated at Kings College, London, and Trinity Hall. Cambridge. where he won high honors in mathematics. Tn 1887 he was called to the bar, and practiced law until he was elected to ParIia- ment in 1895. During his twenty years in the House of Commons he has won many places of honor, be- coming financial secretary of the treasury in 1905 and later home sec retary in the Asquith cabinet When the coalition cabinet was in process of formation it was expected that Mir
 McKenna would be made first lord of the admiralty, a position he held from 1908 to 1911. It was owing to his naval program in 1910 that Great Britain was given to the Lion, Mon arch, Orion and another battle cruiser, with a number of smaller craft. During the early part of the war MT. McKenna as home secretary, was subjected to many bitter attacks over his management Of the alien

LOUIS NAPOLEON.

Prince Louis Napoleon the grand nephew of Napoleon l., is in the un- fortunate position of a, warrior out of a, job while nearly all Europe is fight ing. The prince is a, son of the late Prince Napoleon, who died in 1891, and the Princess C1otilde, sister of the late King Humbert of Italy. His elder brother, Prince Victor Ma po1eon, is the Bonapartist pretender to the imperial throne of France, and married a daughter of the late King Leopold of Belgium. Prince Victor and Prince Louis are descendants of the emperor's brother Jerome. Prince Louis Napoleon Bonaparte was long an officer of the Russian army, and holds the rank of major general in the czar's forces. He was at one time governor-genera1 of Erivan, Caucasia. When the war began he was on leave of absence from his Russian regiment and was not permitted to resume command. Under the French repub- Hess laws relatives of the former ru1- ing families are forbidden to serve in the army or navy of France. and Rus sia, because of it's relations with France, placed Louis under the ban. The French government also refused his proffered services. In turn he ap- pea1ed to all the allied nations. but all refused him. When Italy entered the arena Prince Louis and Prince Victor hoped that at last they would be permitted to draw their swords, but again they were disappointed Al. though their ndther was a princess of the house of Savoy, the Italian reigning family, and aunt of the present king of Italy, the latter gov- ernment did not consider their ser vices sufnctently valuable to run the risk of antagonizing France. Prince Louis recently appealed to the little republic of San Marine, which joined the allies last month, and it has been reported that he may be permitted to join the army of that tiny country. Prince Louis is a. bachelor, and,s IS he is now past fifty, he appears to be a. confirmed one. It has been alleged that Prince Louis has been favored above his elder brother by the ex- Empress Eugenie. and that her for tune, estimated at SIS 1000, 900 may go to him. to be used in an endeavor to recover the throne of France.

PRINCE EFTIEL. KAIsER,s
 SECOND SON. IS g TO-DAY.

Prince Wilhelm EiteI-Fredrich,
 usually called Prince Eite1, the sec-
 ond son of the German kaiser, will be thfrty-two years old today. having
 been born at Pottsdam on July T, 1888. Prince EiteI has been reported as holding important commands on both the eastern and western fronts since the war began, and he received the Iron Cross early in the conflict. Last October it was said that he had suffered severe injuries as the result
 of being thrown from his horse dur
 ing the progress of a battle. In the belief that Hungary will become inde- pendent as a result of the war, the candidature of Prince Ette1 for the Hungarian throne has been energetic It is alleged that a, press campaign with this end in view has been launched in Hungary, and that Eitel has been called "a modern Atti1a.'' The Hungarians have not received this propaganda with any great de- gree of enthusiasm, as Hungarian aspirations are largely in the direc- ton of a republic. The project of placing Eite1 the throne of Hun gary is by no means new. Several years ago a report gained wide circu- latfon that Hungary proposed to throw off the Austrian allegiance and invite Eitel to the throne. This ru- nor gained such wide, circulation that it became a source of worry to the kaiser, who feared that it might in jure Germany's relations with her ally, Austria. Prince Eite1, like his elder brother, the crown prince, and
 his younger brothers, received a thorough military education. For a time he commanded squadron of Bodyguard Hussars at Potsdam. He has also acted as governor of Pom erania. He married. in 1906, Prin- cess Sophie Charlotte of O1denburg. She has little liking for royal pomp, and even before the war, spent no small part of her time visiting hos pita1s. Since hostilfties began she has devoted herself almost exclusively to the sick and wounded soldiers. She has no children of her own, bnt some
The Bridgeport evening farmer., 1915-07-07

years ago she adopted whole orphan asylum, and has visited the children daily.
 Prince E1ite1 was the most popular of the kaHser's sons before the war, and received much more applause from the public than the crown prince. The latter has risen much in popular estimation since the begin ming of the war, while, 50 far as can be known, Prince EitePs star seems to he on the wane
