In dealing with questions OF food n
industry, my informant seemed fairly
sure OF his ground. but he commenced
hedging as soon as the conversation
shifted to the German reserves. No one
in Germany outside the highest circles.
he said, knows for how long Germany
can keep UP her present l6l divisions
In the field at full strength. but he gave
II az his opinion that the estimates OF
the allied intelligence departments are
wrong and that the strength OF the Ger
man military establishment will not
to decline until some time
next year.
A detailed explanation Of how Ger
many manage to convince her own peo-
pie and visiting neutrals. through the
evidence OF their own eyes. that she Is
sending fresh formations continually to
the front when In fact no genuinely
new units have been formed since last
autumn has probably never been printed.
MY informant learned how this Is done
during trips In the war zones behind the
German lines and with the armies.
Each company at the front sends home
nm leave every week about Ave men out
Of two hundred and nifty men serving.
These men. as a general rule, never re-
turn to their own command. They re-
nort. when their leave a expired, to a
functionary called the "besirkskommah-

This explains why even after tho ne
gotiations with Italy a been broken
on and war was inevitable. despite the
fact that Austria had already refused
italy's demands. until the last moment
the Austrian Ambassador at Rome
strived hard to convince the italian Gov
eminent that an agreement was possible.
n he made counter proposals about
the cession OF the demanded territories
within n month.
THESE efforts failed. however, and
war was declared on May "a. The Aus
triaus had gained three weeks and prof
tied by the delay In rushing troops TO
the Italian frontier just In time to check
the Italian advance toward Trieste. Had
Italy. in the hope OF averting war,
accepted to resume negotiations with
Austria 1t is more than certain that af-
ter IA further delay OF about n month.

the Italian frontiers. not so much to de-
fend them as to cross them, Baron Bu-

cession because the Trentino and Cor
lila are crown lands and the Emperor
could not ALLEVIATE his rights"
SIgnor Barzilai was 'one OF the few
italian statesmen who urged the Govern
ment to hasten a declaration OF war
without losing further time In negotia-
tions.
After Count Tisza's explicit confess
sion that the main object of the negotia-
tons with Italy was to gain time II
would be absurd to think for an Instant
that Prince Won Bulow was In good
faith. 1t Is possible that he convinced
Glolitti and other Italian neutralists that
war could be averted and that Trent and
Trieste would become Italian, but that
was part of his mission which failed, be-
cause Prince Won Bulow could not de-
ceivr Baron Sonnino, In fact when Won
Iiulow left Rome he openly voiced his

FOUR OF KAISER'S SIX
 SONS INJURED IN WAR

Especial to Gateway by United Press)
 AMSTERDAM, March ls.-The wounding of Prince Oscar of Ger many on the Russian front makes four of the Kaiscr's sons who have suffered bodily injury in the war, ac- cording to accurate journalistic records here. Only the Crown Prince and Prince Adalbert have escaped thus far. August Wilhelm, the Haiser's fourth son. was wounded during the battle of the Mane by a bullet in his left arm. The second son, Eitel Frederick. was thrown from his horse in October, 1914, and suffered a damaged knee. Joachim, the sixth son. was wounded by shrapnel in the right thigh in September 1914 Joachim was also nearly captured by the Russians in the following Deccm- Der. He was rescued by a German aeroplane. Oscar recently wounded

A FEW OLD MEN GUARD
 WORLDS GREAT GOLD SUPPLY

Special to Gateway by United Press)
 DENVER, Colo, March l6 - The largest slngle gold supply in the word-about SoOO,OOO,OOO-is locked m the vaults of the Denver mint to- day. The vaults that hold this enOrm- ous wealth are among the strongest and with the most intricate locking and time devices, in the world. They are considered burglar and bomb proof. Contrary to expectations, the great wealth in the building visited by thousands annually as a point ot interest to tourists is not guarded by a large number of armed men. A few old soldiers, political appOintees, are practically in charge of the building. In an emergency hardly a corporaPs guard of powerful, armed men could be raised in the mint immediately. But the strength of the vaults and their inaccessibility gives the officials charged with responsibility for the half billion dollars no worry. The government accepts all gold offered at the mint. The price is fixed, $2O.67 a fine ounce. It has not huctuated in years. The same price rules all over the world. None of the gold which has poured into New York since the balance of trade has been in Ameri- ca's favor has been stored in Denver. According to officials at the local mint, that gold mostly remains in the New York and Washington hints and eastern banks as a basis for credit. In case of threatened invasion, how ever, it is not improbable that the gold on both the Atlantic and Pacific seaboards would be removed to the strong Denver vaults.

BILLIARDS

Good averages were the rule last night at billiards. Johnny White, after sizing up class A for couple of weeks took a running jump with his cue and upset all calculations by playing three games in one evening for a grand average of 1.62, beating Peel one game by six points. In class B BalderstOn played another good game, winning over Shuman.
 Bruner, in winning over White, has won five straight in class A and will probably land the prize in that class. His grand average for all five games is 2.82. As an illustration of the play-oT between the winners of the different classes, the handicap be- tween Bruner, class A, and Mathison, class B, would be at present Bruner 21O, Mathison 1OO

trip down the Mississippi river on a
Hatboat he was advised never TO an

on other boats and never to handy
words with them, as he would be sure
always to come out second best. He
followed the advice religiously for a
time, but one day ne thought he saw a
chance to get the better Of riverman
who called out:
Hey. thar. what yer loaded with?"
"Jackasses. Don't you want to come

rivermen in the neighborhood set up a
derisive laugh at his expense.

Old age comes quick enough with
out inviting it. Some look old at forty.
That is because they neglect the liver

will not only feel younger but look

SATURDAY. SEPTEMBER 80. 1919
Parting Of Lee and His Generals

The final parting was in front Of
Lees mansion in Richmond, two days
after Appomatox. Lees house was
an ordinary square brick, standing
alone on Franklin street, one square
from the capitol. All the other houses
on the square were connected.
Upon the afternoon Of the second
day after the surrender, people In
that vicinity were surprised to see
come riding up the street from the
south company Of Confederate
horsemen. They were unarmed, their
gray uniforms we're worn, soiled and
often tattered, their trappings old and
patched; they wore SLOUGH hats, and
here and there was feather remain
ing of the once smart and jaunty
dropping plume OF the Confederate
cavalrymen. They were bronzed.
Drowned and bearded. They sat erect
and came on with that splendid horse
manship for which they were noted.
jackets could still be seen the faded
and furnished gilt stars-the emblems
of the wearers rank.
In front OF them rode Lee. His.two
hands held the loosely-swingtng reins
and rested upon the pommel. His
head was bent, and his eyes were
looking straight ahead under his
downcast brow, but they seemed to
see nothing.
AS the troops cantered up to his old
home, his horse stopped at the gate,
and he aroused himself suddenly, ~
if from dream, and cast his eyes
upon the familiar windows and then
around the group of gallant soldiers
who had followed his fortunes for
four bloody years and gone down In
defeat under his banner.
The end of it all had come at last.
He threw himself from his horse and
all of his companions followed his
action. They stood, hat in hand, with
an arm through the bridle-rein, while
Lee went from man to man, grasping
each hand, looking intently into each
face as though he would impress 1t
upon his memory forever. Then he
turned and walked through the
gate and up the steps to his door. As
servant opened the door he paused,
with his left foot upon the veranda,
his right upon the last step, and look
ed back for the last time. Not word
had been spoken, not goodbye ut
tered. There was no sound heard
but that OF sobs. rs these unkempt
and grizzled heroes Of u hundred bat
ties leaned their heads against the
shoulders of their horses and wept.
Lee gave one look and broke down
at last. His hands were over his eyes.
his frame shook with sobs, as he
turned quickly and disappeared into
his lonely house.
With the closing of the door behind
him ended forever the dream OF the
Southern Confederacy. - Cincinnati
