London newspapers announce in
glazing headlines Essen bank fails;
Krupp workers lose their savings" and
in following reports it is said that
the ''Rhenish bank at Essen has just
entered into liquidation" French
newspapers, to complete the descrip-
ton Of German financial disaster tell
that the Middle Rhenish bank at Cob
LEM also has liquidated. This kind
of news service only indicates how peo-
pie must distort facts to find some
thing unfavorable about German
finance.
Germany is Systematically fostering
good relations with Hollond. In fact,
Germany endeavors to help Dutch in
dustries all she can by sending over
as much raw materials, and especially
iron, coal and dyestuffs, at Holland
needs. This is gratefully appreciated.
Besides, Germany delicately avoids all
probable causes of friction, and even
when she insists Oh congressional
exchanges for her exports to Holland
it is done carefully and rather apollo
getically.
Without regard to individual beliefs,
Wall street realizes that success for
the Teutonic cause in the world war
would mean uncertainty as to payment
of huge debts of the allies to this coun-
try and it's corporations. Hence. any
German progress of character
threatening vital injury to the allies
is bearish argument in Wall street.
The Lokalanzeiger says: Our mem
orandum to President Wilson gives If
REPUTABLE proof that the English or
dered merchant ships not only to arm
but to attack. There is no intarna-
tional law which forbids belligerent
to consider as hostile armed merchant
vessels which have been ordered TO
attack his ships"
The British cabinet will recommend
the incorporation in the budget of an
announcement that German imports
will be prohibited after the war, and
also that measures will be taken. prob
ably in the nature OF preferential du-
ties, to encourage exports from Brit
ish colonies TO the countries of the
allies.

Aristocrats Who Have Died for
Their Country in Strife of

Nearly Fifty British Peers Have Lost
Sons Who Would Have Succeeded

London.-When the full story of the

Inspiring chapter than that which de-
scribes the magnificent part the sons
Of our noble houses have played in it
their devotion, their heroism, their
splendid deaths for the land they love,
says n writer in London Answers.
Already, although the war has bare
ly reached its turning point, the list
of these heirs to cOronets they will
never wear is appallingly long. Since
the master Of Burleigh, eldest son Of
Lord Balfour Of Burleigh, as gallant
soldier as ever bore the historic
name of Bruce, persisted in the first
month Of the war, nearly SO peers have
lost the sons who ought to have sue
ceeded to their honors.
These heroes have come from all
grades Of our peerage. One of them
was heir to a dukedom, who, If he had
lived, would have been premier duke,
marquis and earl Of Ireland. Four
were sons of marQuises, five had earls
for their fathers, seven were heirs to
viscounties and 20 were successors to
karOnies. Six of them were the last
heirs to the family hOnors. and the

ders that only one woman should be

One of the Guardsmen, not yet
knowing of the order, approached the
camp in company with his mother, q
sister and his flancee. The guard
stopped the party and sternly asked
who the women were. When told he
answered:
"You can take In only one. It's up

The young man looked for a mo-

Buenos Aires.-The execution Of two

spread and insistent demand for the

Lord Spencer Douglas Compton. son
Of the marquis of Northampton, who
died a year ago, could look back to a
long array of fighting ancestors.
Generation after generation, the
Comptons were among the doughtiest
warriors of England. There was a
Compton in every battle in the Civil
war, including the third earl. who
fought so bravely for their king at
Edgehill and Banbury and in many an
other battle.
Lord Arthur Hay, heir to his brother
the marquis of Tweeddale. who died
in the second month of the war, had
one ancestor who fell on FlOdden field.

their king and country there were
none drawer than Lord Desmond Fitz-
gerald. heir to the brother, the sixth
earl of Leinster, whose death few
weeks ago is so widely deplored. Dying
Mt the age Of twenty-seven, Lord Des-
mond had already written his name
large in the annals Of the gallant Irish
guards. In the severe fighting in the
retreat from Mons he bore himself
most bravely among the brave. and in
all the later fghting his courage and
his reckless contempt of danger
amazed and inspired the ranks.
He was twice severely wounded but
he laughed at his wounds and longed
only for day when he could return
to his men, and it was cruel stroke
of fate which. by the explosion of
bomb at Calais, ended life so full of
achievement and promise.
