NAMED TO RECEIVE
RED CROSS FUNDS
Star, Banks and Trust Com
panies Will Take Charge
of Contributions.

The Evening Star is authorized by
the finance committee raising fund
of 100000 for the activities of the Dis
trict Chapter of the Red Cross to re-
ceive contributions to this fund in any
amount. These contributions as re-
ceived will be acknowledged.
All banks and trust companies of
Washington have also been named as
receiving stations. The special finance
committee carrying on this Sloo.ooo
campaign hopes thus to have the fund
closed as soon as possible, so that the
various committees will be able to
draw from it as the immediate needs
require. Nearly $4,000 has already
been subscribed, but the committee
wants the full sum to be provided at
once and feels sure that the patriotism
and generosity of the Washington pub
lie will take care of this promptly.
This announcement was made today
by Henry &. F. Macfarland, chairman
of the finance committee. following "a
meeting with his executive committee
today. The action was taken on the
suggestion of Rudolph Kaufman,
managing editor of The star and
member of the committee, VINO at the
first meeting OF the HTaHce committee

to receive contributions from the
public.
Offer to Receive Contributions.
President John b. Larner of the
WASHINGTON Loan and Trust Company,
Vice President Corcoran Thorn of the
American Security and Trust Company
and President Galliher of the American
National Bank, who were present as
members of the executive committee,
stated at once that their institutions
would receive subscriptions and that
they had no doubt that all the other
banks and trust companies would do
likewise.

Mr.. Conolly Also Ready to Help.

ut should. .be clearly understood that
1 am willing to give the same aid to
commercial gardeners that / am to
amateurs said Mr.. Conolly today. TT
has been the experience everywhere
that home and vacant lot gardening
does not bring any lessened demand
for the product of the commercial gar
dener. In the long run it increases
that demand, for families learn to use
vegetables they did not use before We
desire the cooperation and help of
commercial gardeners and truck farm
erS
The motto we have adopted for the
vacant lot and home garden workers
is: Plant all you can, eat all you can
can all you can
These explanations were made be-
cause of the fear that suggestions put
forth regarding marketing of vacant lot
garden products might be construed as
meaning that the central committee is
going to interfere with the commercial
gardeners or the mlddiemen who handle
their products.

Lord Nelson's Birth

Lord Nelson. the cIergyman's son
who was the real founder of the glory
of Britain's modern fleet, was born 159
years ago today, Sept. 20. 1888. Alt
though the ships which Nelson fought
would now be easy prey for the navy
of a minor state, the indomitable pluck
and spirit with which heSinspired his
men remains as heritage long after
his vanished fleets have crumbled to
decay. Great as he was as a warrior,
most famous love affair was that with
Hamilton. Sir William died before
Nelson and the latter provided Lady
Hamilton with house in London.
After Nelson's death she soon squan-
dered the modest fortune left her by
her husband and was reduced to such
straits that she was imprisoned for
debt. After her release from prison
she retired with Nelson's daughter,
Horatia. to Calais, where she died in
1915. Lady Hamilton was a very
beautiful woman. She began her ca
reer as assistant to a notorious quack
doctor. She was a servant and nurse
maid and was then engaged by DR..
Graham to play the role of vestina,
Goodies of Health, in the exhibitions
he gave at his Temple of Health and
Hymen. Her duty was to take pub
lie mud baths, that being the quack's
specially. While immersed in mud
to her chin, she wore her hair elabor-
ately dressed in the prevailing fash
ion, with powder, flowers, feathers
and ropes of pearl.

ed contest for mayor WIS assured to-
day when it became virtually certain
that Mayor Mitchell would make a
fight for reelection despite his defeat

state senator, for he Republican
nomination.
Leaders in the fushion government,
which was responsible for the mayors
election four years ago. began today
to make arrangements for the cam
paign for his reelection. It is adj
mitted by these leaders that the defeat
of Mayor Mitchell in the Republican

situation in local politics much to the
liking OF Tammany Hall.

are affiliated with the fusion commit
tee. following a meeting last night,
announced that they would support
the nominee of the primaries. Elk
animation Of ballots in the inest1ga-
ton Of the Republican primary, fusion
leaders declared today, indicated that
only about 80 per cent. of the enrolled
Republican voters expressed prefer
ence for Mr.. Bennett and that the

in Manhattan borough showed that
more than 700 Democrats had written
in the name Of Mayor Mitchell against
that of Judge John F. Hylan, the
Democratic nominee.

pendently, the ticket will contain the
names of Judge Hylan, Democrat;

Prince MaXasilian

Prince Macmillan the eldest son of
the murdered Archduke Francis Fer
dinand of Austria, will be fifteen
years old today, as he was born Sept.
20, 1902, in Vienna. The 'tHapsburg
curse has descended upon the young
prince, for, while he once stood COM
paratively near the throne, he is now
destined to spend the remainder of
his life in more or less obscurity, I'M
less he rises by his own merits If
fortune had favored him he might one
day have sat upon the throne of the
dual monarchy, or whatever Is left of
1t after the war ends.
It is true that the orphan lads
mother was not of royal blood, and
therefore prescribed by immemorial
Hapsburg law from becoming mother
of a king. It is also true that when
murdered Archduke Francis Ferdin-
and, heir presumptive to the crown
of the late Francis Joseph, married
the woman of his choice, Countess
Sophia Chotek, the alliance was con-
sidered a morgantic one, and the
Archduke took, solemn oath exclud-
ing his wife and children from the
throne. Yet laws older than those of
the Hapsburgs, and vows more seri-
Gus than those taken by Francis Fer
Il
years before his tragic death the
Archduke labored to elevate his wife
to royal standing and to make his
eldest son his heir. He besought the
good offices Of the Vatican to relieve
him of his vow, and the influence of
other royal houses to supplement his
efforts. Y
| 1t was significant that King George
and Queen Mary, before the war, re-
ceived the Duchess of Hohenberg-
the title conferred upon the Arch
dukes wife by the late Francis JOS
eph-on terms of complete equality,
and thus indicated that they were in
full sympathy with the Archduke and
the Duchess in their attempts to tri-
t1mph over ancient law and custom.
The Hungarians were almost a. unit
in favoring the claims of the morgan
attic wife, and the Hungarian Parlia-
ment pronounced her claims to the
that when Ferdinand became King OF
Hungary she would reign as queen,
and her son, Prince Macmillan, would
be accepted as heir to the throne.
There was every indication that the
Duchess would be the victor in the
fight for the recognition Of her chill
dren when she and her husband were
assassinated at Sarajevo, Bosnia, on
that fateful day in 1914. The tragedy
not only left Prince Maximilian an or
phan, but it deprived him Of all
chance Of ever ascending the throne,
which his uncle, Charles L now oc-
cupies.

Won Bethmann-HollWeg

French and Jewish blood, as well
as German, flows in the veins of DR..
Theobald van Bethmann-Hollweg, un-
til recently Imperial Chancellor of
the German Empire. AS head Of the
cabinet at the outbreak of the war,
he was charged with responsibility for
the unreadiness of German diplomacy
which led to the coalition against the
Kaiser, but to those versed in welt
politik" this is joke, for the Kaiser
has always been his own Chancellor,
and Bethmann-H ollweg was but the
imperial echo. Hollweg, who was re-
tired recently in favor of Michaelis,
today celebrates his sixty first birth
day in retirement on his estate, far
removed from the turmoil of politics.
It was he who characterized the inter-
national treaty which guaranteed Bel
gium,s neutrality as Scrap of Pa
per- The family history of Beth
mann-Hollweg goes back to a Frank
fort jew, Bethmann, who accumulat-
| ed a fortune and married his daugh-
ter to a scion of the Prussian noble
clan of Hollweg. The son of this pair
adopted the name of Bethmann-Hol1-
veg. This SON the grandfather of
| the former Imperial Chancellor, dedi-
Gated his life and fortune to the SER
vice of royalty. One of his sons mar
ried a daughter Of the French noble
family of De Rougemont. OF this
| union the future chancellor was born.
1t was at the University of Bonn that
Won Bethmann- Hollweg became the
friend Of the future emperor, and
when William II. assembled the throne
he did not forget the churn Of his col
lege days. Through minor posts
Bethmann-Ho11weg rose to be Minis
ter OF the Interior, Vice Chancellor
and then Chancellor of the Empire
to which position he was called about
eight years ago, but which, since the
days Of Bismarck has carried little

only a short time before the begin
