Association Complimented.

All three speakers complimented the
association, which now has the largest
membership of any in the District, upon
it's remarkable growth. and predicted
that its influence in civic matters would
continue to be helpful to the interests
of the District as whole. They also
announced themselves in favor of Dis
trict citizens being given a voice in
their affairs. The people and the
newspapers should unite and demand
the right to exercise the prerogatives
of American citizenship. Mr.. Bell de-
clared. Washington was described by
DR.. Mckelway as being the only Eng
disappearing city of it's size in the
world that has so little voice in the
management of it's affairs.
To make expression of public opinion
through the citizens associations as
effective as possible, Mr.. Lyon urged
that these bodies Immediately take
steps to adjust their conflicting bound
airy lines. The suggestion will be
communicated to the Federation of
Citizens Associations. it was an
nounced at the close of the meeting, by

, BARONESS vETSERA.


 Sad and pitiful was the fate of the young and lovely Baroness Mary vetsera, who died 2S years ago today. Jan. 27, 1889, in the royal hunting lodge of the Hapsburgs at Meyerling, near Vienna. The tragedy that ended her brief career also concluded that of her royal lover. Crown Prince Ru- dolph, only son and heir of the late Emperor Francis Joseph. The trag- edy will doubtless ever remain a smys- tery, although the explanation which found greatest credence in Austria was that the Grown Prince killed his mistress in. fit of drunken rage, and that his companions. equally drunk, then slew the Hapsburg heir, beating out his brains with champagne bot tles The Emperor had exacted an oath from his son never to see the Baroness again, but this oath he did not keep; and he even contemplated divorcing his wife, Grown Princess Stephanie, so that he might wed the Baroness. In an attempt to avert scandal, the Emperor ordered the body of the girl to be taken out like a living person." and her remains, nude when found, were clad in her street clothes and she was taken in a carriage. seated upright. to her grave at Heiligen-Kreutz Abbey.

CHILD LABOR DAY
 TO BE WIDELY OBSERVED.

There has been no decrease in the interest in child labor since the enact ment of the federal child labor law, according to a statement by the Ma tional Child Labor Committee. we were somewhat afraid there would be a tendency to withdraw support from the work of the committee under the misapprehension that the federal law ended the child labor problem" said Owen R. Lovejoy, general secretary of the National Child Labor Com mittee, 'but it is evident from the thousands of promises to observe Child Labor Day we have received that there is no diminution in interest but that on the contrary people are keenly alive to the importance of the work which remains to be done"
 Child Labor Day falls on Sunday, Jan. 28, this year, and requests for material have come from nearly 5000 organizations which will cooperate with the National Child Labor Com nittee. January 27 will be observ- ed by synagogues and January 29 by schools, clubs, colleges and other or ganizations. Special emphasis will be laid on the children who will not be affected by the federal laW-the newsies, the messengers, the clerks, the cashgirls, the delivery boys, and all of the other 1,850,000 children the federal law can not reach because they are employed in local occupa- tions. A special pamphlet, Child Labor in Your State,'' has been pre- pared showing why these occupations should be regulated and what stan dards the states should esta blish. In the schools where Child Labor Day is observed an effort will be made to convince children that it does not pay to go to work too soon. For this the National Child Labor Committee has published another pamphlet, More Education Pays" which shows with great clearness the difference in earning power between the boy who goes to work at IA and the one who begins at 13 si

THE KAISER'S BIRTHDAY

This is the fifty-eighth birthday of William IT., Emperor of Germany, but. following the precedent establish ed last year, the occasion will not be 1 marked by anything of a festive na- ture. The Kaiser has ordered that the observance be confined to reli- gious services and the display of flags In peaceful times the twenty seventh of January was the greatest of Ger man holidays, when labor was sus- pended, and the masses of the people, with the exception of the social dem- ocrats, gathered in the beer gardens
 and other places of public resort to toast the Emperor in many brimming mugs of the national beverage. Just what part the Kaiser will play in history is yet to be recorded. One thing is certain-the world has at- tained that stage in civilization when war, although not impossible, is no longer glorious. If it should be shown that William 1T. was responsi- blf for this terrific orgy of blood, not even the most conclusive victory could
 make him respected
 Passion and prejudice still obscure the vision, and doubtless shall con- tinue to do so until long after the war
 has passed into history, but neutral and unprejudiced opinion seems to
 be overwhelmingly inclined toward fixing the guilt on Germany. Even among those most certain of Ger
 many's responsibility, however, there
 are many who insist that the Emper-
 or himself did not initiate the strug-
 gle. It is the view of these apologists for the Kaiser that he, while claiming
 greater power than any other sover-
 eign of civilized state, and assert
 ing himself responsible to God alone.
 was yet the victim of the conspiracy
 of war-mad civil and military officials.
 All this is but surmise, and time with Its clearer vision 2alone can decide
 how much or how little the Kaiser
 wanted war.
 It must be admitted that a perusal
 of the multitudinous newspaper and
 magazine articles about the Kaiser,
 written and published before the war,
 do not afford any firm basis for the
 belief that the German ruler had any consuming passion for peace. The
 great majority of such articles pub
 lished in the 4 nerican press prior to
 the war agree in painting the Kaiser
 as a monarch whose chief interest
 was in his military machine ma- chine. Almost from the beginning of his reign he was known as the "War Lord,'' and he was never quite at ease
 unless clad in one of his several hun- Gred military uniforms. While not neglecting the arts of peace, his great
 passion was always his military ma chine, if one accepts as true the my riad statements about him written before 1le war.

FOUR BIG BILLS
 MAY TAKE TIME
 OF LEGISLATURE
Failure to Agree on Pro gram Holds Up Action in
 National Congress.

Washington, Jan. 27-Continued failure of Democratic senators to agree on a legislative program led some administration leaders to be- lieve today that the only measures that can be passed before adjourn ment on March 4 are railroad labor legislation, mineral land leasing, reve- nue and appropriation bills. They expressed the opinion that the presi- dent would not call an extra session if these subjects were disposed of.
 The senate interstate commerce committee has postponed final action on the railroad labor bill until next week. The corrupt practice, water power and flood control bills and the Webb collective foreign agency meas ure are still subjects of wide dis agreement.

the Hall of Mirrors, in the Palace of Versailles, when the princes and gen. erals of Germany gathered to place upon the head of King William of Hohenzollern the imperial crown of united Germany.
 ]. Except for Bismarck, the Franco Prussian war might have ended at Sedan. The soldiers Of France had been humiliated and cut to pieces, and the French Emperor was pris- oner. The German liberals believed that the war had accomplished enough, and demanded that it end. Bismarck and the King were not yet satisfied. They must have Paris to make their triumph complete. And the new France of the third republic, reared on the ruins of empire. also hoped that a continuation of the war would result in a better issue.
 Every wood seemed to be an army" says Ridpath, "and every hill battery. Round about the devoted fortresses of Paris the innumerable hosts of Germany were gathered to consummate their work. Against such fearful odds the fiery valor of the Parisians could not prevail. Leon Gambetta, destined now to become the greatest leader of modern French republicanism, escaped from the city in a balloon. and made his way to southern France. where he sought by his eloquence to rouse the nation as one man for the expulsion of the in- vaders. By this time the war had degenerated into an indescriba- ble uproar. From the spires of Paris it seemed as though the heavens and earth were rolled together. With each clearing of the sky it became more and more manifest that the res cue of the capital from the clutches of the Germans was impossible"
 Before the siege dnally ended with the equalization of Paris the brave defenders and the civilians who had remained in the city had reached a stage of extreme poverty, rapidly verging toward starvation. Dogs, cats, even rats, were eaten by the hunger-maddened people. Among those who took part in the defense of Paris was a young officer named Joffre, destined later to hold the highest command in another war with the hated Teutons.
 Although Paris surrendered on Jan. '2S, 1t was not until the second of March that division of the German army made a triumpha1 entry into Paris, only to withdraw a few hours lates, in accordance with a pledge exacted by the French government in arranging the conditions of peace.
 The armistice arranged on the ca pitulation of Paris ended hostn.tics, for the French had no recourse but to submit to the terribly severe terms imposed by the conqueror. In addition to the cession of territory, by which Alsace and Lorraine and 1 ,500,000 French subjects were trans ferred to Prussia, the vanquished na- ton had to agree to a war indemnity of 5,000,0O0,000 of francs.

THE COMPUTATION OF PARIS.

It is not alone because of Alsace and Lorraine that the Frechman thirsts for 'revanche" upon his old enemy, the Teuson. He remembers the terrors of the siege of Paris, when the once gay capital of the em- pire was besieged by the Germans for 131 days, and. after horrors that no pen can ever adequately describe, was forced to capitulate. This Sum- day will be day of bitter memories for Parisians, for it was on Jan. '28, 1871, that Paris surrendered, and an armistice was declared.
