brief reign as an Emperor. He was
without doubt the best loved of Ger

Frederick,s liberalism dated from

Marquis of Townshend

z e syr ~
The Marquis of Townshend is not
as Imposing a person as his title
would indicate. In fact, he is little
more than a dwarf in stature, mis-
shapen, and with a head proportion
ately too large for his body, and yet
the present holder of that ancient title
comes from a long line of distinguish
ed ancestors, many of whom were
great military leaders. The Marquis
Eof Townshend passes his fifty-fir
milestone today, and succeeded his
father in 1899. About year and a
half ago he became the proud father
of a son and heir, thus excluding from
the succession to the title the bril-
liant warrior, Gen. Charles Verre Fer
rers Townshend, the defender of Kut
Ell Amara and one of the greatest
British heroes of the present war.
The Marquis of Townshend has had
a remarkable career, After losing
much of his estate in gambling and
speculation, he sought to recoup his
fortunes by marrying a wealthy wom-
an. y Having failed to find an English
heiress who could become his bride,
/ the Marquis transferred his search to
| America. One look was enough fof
most OF those he approached, but
at last in Jacksonville, Fla, he found
a woman willing to exchange her for
tune for his title. Before it was too
late the Marquis discovered that the
lady had misrepresented the extent OF
her fortune and broke the engage
ment.

tinued his quest, and at length, with
