FIRST VOYAGE
 OF COLUMBUS

Columbus sailed from Palos on his first voyage of discovery 424 years ago today, Aug. 8, 1492. This most mo- mentous voyage in the worlds history was made by fleet of three vessels fitted out for Columbus by King Ferdi- nand and Queen Isabella. The flag ship of Columbus was the decked ves- sel Santa Maria, and the two small 'decked caravels, the Pinta and the Nina, were commanded by the Pinzon brothers, Martin Alonzo and Vincent Yanez. The day of sailing was a Fri day, and many of the members of the crew murmured at the selection of this ill-favored day of the week. AS the weeks passed the men grew mutinous, but Columbus quelled the uprisings, and proceeded westward until, late in the night of October 11th, land was sighted The crown had offered sum about equal to $100. and to this Co., lumbus had added silken doublet, as prizes for the man who should first discover land. At 10 o'clock at night Columbus, standing on the deck, saw a light on the verge of the horizon. Early the next morning. Rodrigo Fri cena, sailor on the Pinto, first saw land, but the award was given to Columbus, who had seen the light on the land the previous night.

COUNT KAROLYI,
 PEACE ADVOCATE

Count Michael Karolyi, the Hunga- rian statesman who has recently at- tained prominence as the leader of a movement to bring about a separate peace for Hungary, has long been not ed as an advocate of Hungarian inde- pendence. For some years he has beeE the chief of the Independence party in his native land, but recent reports state that he has resigned the presidency of that organization and has launched a new party of even more radical tendencies. The main plank in the platform of the new Karolyi faction is said to be an early peace between Hungary and its enc mics, regardless of the consent of the Austrian and German governments. He is said to have a large following in the Hungarian Parliament Count Karolyi made tour of, America short ly before the outbreak of the Euro- pean war, and in his addresses in vari- ous American cities he sought to en- list the aid of Americans of Mag var descent in the interests of home rule for Hungary and separate par Hament free from Austrian domina- ton. Following the assassination of the Austrian heir at Sarajevo he re- turned immediately to Hungary. Lit tie was heard of him until last De- cember, when he delivered a speech in the lower house at Budapest de- manding that the Vienna government make peace overtures to Russia and her allies. He asserted that Hungary had achieved everything she had de- sired from the war, and that further prolongation of hostilities would only add to the suffering and miserfes of the people without accomplishing anything of moment. At that time he urged that Hungarian nationality should be recognized, and that Hun gary be given complete economic in

Lord Aberdeen Begins His
 Seventieth Year Today

One of the most distinguished of recent British visitors to America, the Marquis of Aberdeen, will begin his seventieth year today, having been born on Aug 3, 1847. Lord Aberdeen did not come as a stranger to these shores, for he was Governor-General of Canada from 1898 to 1898. He is a baronet of Nova Scotia, one of his ancestors having received that title in 1642 as a reward for having aided in the development of that New World province of England. The Scottish earldom of Aberdeen dates from 1882, and the family also holds several other titles of Scottish origin Lord Aberdeen began his public ca reer thirty years ago as .Lord-Iieuten- ant of Ireland, first holding that po- sition for several months in 1886, lat CT acting for five years as Governor of Canada, and returning to the vice. regal palace in Dublin in 1905.
 The Countess of Aberdeen, who ac- companied her husband on the Amer ican tour, was the Hon. Ishbel Maria Marjoribanks prior, to her marriage in 1877, and is a daughter of the first Lord Tweedmouth. For many years she has been the president of the In- ternational Council of Women, and one of the purposes of her visit was to promote a closer alIience between the clubwomen of America and Great Britain. In her addresss tn Coun- tess asserted that the world must look to the fair sex to hold the nations together and to prevent future wars. Woman, she insists, has a natural ten dency toward conservation (the in- telligent compositor will kindly re- frain from yielding to his vulgar in- clination to transpose the "s'' and the ''v"). and against destruction. Twen- ty-three countries are represented in the council headed by Lady Aberdeen, although the relations between the women of some of the countries are naturally somewhat strained.
 When Lord Aberdeen proposed to assume the title of Marquis of Aber- deen and Tara, early in 1915, the proposal was greeted with a storm of criticism. as an unwarrantable asso- citation of his name with that of Ire- lands historic shrine. :.
