The Capture of Berlin

The possibility that Berlin, the proud and populous capital of the Hohenzol- Ierns. may resound to the tread Of enemy's feet before the war is over, suggests a consideration of past occa- sions when the Prussian metropolis was captured by the enemy. It was 156 years ago today, Oct. 9, 176O, that Berlin was taken by the Russians and Austrians during the Seven Years War. the long conflict in which the Prussia of Frederick the Great was pitted against the great armies of Russia, Austria, France and Sweden. The seventeenth century had seen the Imperialists and Swedes, under Wal lenstein and under Gustavus Adolphus, within the walls of Berlin, but it was then a mere village. At the time Fred erick the Great ascended the throne it had become a city of nearly hundred thousand people. When Frederick, having. offended Maria Theresa, Elm press Elizabeth and Madame Pompa- dour, found himself threatened by a coalition of his powerful neighbors, he appealed, like the present Hohenzol- Tern chief, to Turkey and Spain, but all in vain. In 176O the armies of Aus tria and Russia began an advance on Berlin, and, although defeated at Lieg-
 nitz they were reorganized andNpresse6 on toward the Prussian capital. The Saxons joined the Austrian and Rus. sian drive and on the ninth of October Berlin fell before the forces of the coalition. The royal palace of Char. | lottenburg was plundered, and a con. tribution of 100000 thalers was levied
 on the city. For four days the sol
 diers of Austria and Russia held higf
 revel in the seat of the Hohenzollerns
 Then came Frederick with all all speed
 from Silesia to oust the foe from hi 1 capital, but the invaders waited no

 day, Berlin was subjected to the ig

MAJOR DREYFUS.

This is the f1fty-seventh birthday of the chief figure in that military cause celebre of the century, the Dreyfus case. It was decade ago that Alfred Dreyfus was completely vindicated and restored to the French army as a major, after having been convicted of selling military secrets to Germany, and sentenced to life Imprisonment on the Isle du Diable. At the out break of the war Major Dreyfus was placed in command of one of the forts near Paris, but he has had no oppor- tunity to distinguish himself, so far as known. His young son, Pierre, has been actively engaged at the front since the outbreak of hostilities, hold ing the rank of second lieutenant in an artillery regiment. Last March the following citation appeared in the Journal Officiel:
 Pierre Dreyfus, at the front since the beginning of the war, particularly distinguished himself on Feb. 26, 27
 and 2S, 1916, by assuring, during these three days, service of obser-
 vation and ilasion under most perilous
 conditions, after having requested not
 to be relieved during this period to dVOlu lnS FISK Ol QlStu rDlnS the con- tinuity of the service during the crit l ical phase. Throughout the days of February and March he has remained
 constantly upon his battery's position, | thus insuring a particularly active | service of the guns under an almost
 continuous bombardment from the enemy's artillery
 1 The Dreyfus case has also been re-
 gently by the death of the Marquis Paty de Clam, the French war de- partment official who had charge of
 the prosecution of the accused Jewish officer. Paty de Clam, although be- yond the age limit for active service,

 of Jewish parents, on Oct. g, 1859. After graduating from the Polytechnic he was made a lieutenant of artillery in 1882, reaching the rank of captain in 1889. He was arrested in 1894 charged with selling military secrets
 to the ambassador from Berlin. Con-
 victed of this charge, he was publicly degraded from his rank in the pres-
 ence of 5000 troops, and sent to the
 Isle du Diable, off the coast of South America, under a life sentence. Zola and others championed his case so successfully that he was given a new L trial ifsl and was eXentua1lx1XinaiGatsd,

nominy of equalization. This time it was the French under Napoleon who took the Prussian capital, which had become a city of quarter million people. Riding in his faded grap cloak at the head of his resplendent mar shals, Napoleon made his triumphal entrance into Berlin, and established himself in the royal palace.
 Nal oon's chief interest during his brief stay in Berlin centered in the works and haunts of Frederick the Great. At the tomb of the greatest of the HohenzoIlerns the sword of Fred erick was placed in the hand of the Corsican. As he gazed at it he said: Not for millions would I exchange this sword I will send it to the In valides. My old soldiers will regard with reverence a trophy which has be- longed to the most illustrious captains of history"
 General Rapp suggested that Napo- leon keep the sword for himself, but the Corsican drew himself up proudly and said, haughtily. Have I not a sword of my own?"
 Not only the sword but also the belt and Black Eagle of the order to which Frederick belonged were sent as tro- phies to Paris. It was while he was in the Prussian capital that Napoleon issued his famous "Berlin Decree" by which the British Isles were declared to be in a state of blockade, and all intercourse of the continent with Eng land was prohibited. .
 This is Fire Prevention Day, the an- niversary of the great Chicago fire, and it will be observed appropriately in hundreds of cities throughout Amer ica. The campaign of education de- signed to cut down the great annual fire loss has now reached such pro- portions as to promise tangible re- suits.

 Washington. Oct. 9.-Woodrow Will and the Democratic party, fulfilling the spirit and letter of their platform, started out in 1913 on a program of social reform. Their purpose was to remedy the more glaring evils of our industrial system. The program was hindered by the problems growing out of the war which necessarily di- rcrted much of the attention' of tho President and Congress.
 Notwithstanding these obstacles a great program If constructive legis- iatlon was accomplished. It lsed to be said by al ancient wiseacre, that All the Democrats ever did was 10 get I'D in ths:r seats and vote No" Gihcs like tha. look pretty ridiculous when you 1cs q ever the list uf con- structive laws passed during the last three years.
 Greatest of these was the Federal Reserve act. Ever since the Civil war the country has suffered from a ser- ies of panics and Impressions due to arbitrary restrictions governing the SuppIy Ol currency. l ne TeHeQy TOT this condition was perfectly apparent to the bankers and business clements But the Republican politicians would never pass a law that the people would accept.
 The Republican theory was always to create one great central bank that could be maintained by Wall street. But when 1t came to passing such a law, the Republican politicians never quite dared. Yet they were close to the king of finance that they would never do anything else. So Congress after Congress was deadlocked. Woodrow Wilson cut the gordian knot. Under his leadership a sound and stable law was passed, ending cur | rency panics, and so dividing up the reservoirs of credit as to keep it 1 in the hands of the business men of | the several sections where it belongs It is the greatest piece of construc- tive legislation since the Civil War.
