WIFE is MADE HIS RECEIVER
Plan Adopted by a Man Who Found
That He Could Not Get Along

There was q story in the American
Magazine in which man who hasn't

Here is part of the story:

then that kellerman, recovering pos
session of his faculties, reorganlzed
his infantry, refused to mount a horse,
placed himself on foot at the head of
his line, raised his chapeau high on
the point of his sword, and calling
upon his men TO use the bayonet,

The troops caught the spirit. So

so reSolute their appearance that the
Prussians, hesltating at u charge up

treated. The young king of Prussia
was beside himself with rage. Be
rating his soldiers with bitterness he
formed the flower of his regiments in
person and headed them for the French
line. The French artillery was again
firing with spirit and by now the re-
endorsements sent by Dumourlez were
beginning to come into play. The
Prussian kings staff was moved down
by his side, but still the boylsh mon
arch, his sword waving above his head,
besought his men to go forward. For
a time the issue hung In the balance,
the French artillerists working like
fiends while the infantry, now afire
with enthusiasm, held nobly to the
task and the veteran Prussian corps
vainly endeavored to close the great
gaps which the cannon balls were max

MANY AMERICAN WOMEN ARE THE
NATIONS ENEMIES BY MARRIAGE
Among the Most Prominent of These Gladys Vanderbilt Who Has
Been an Angel of Mercy in Austra-Hungay and Who Now
Finds Herself Arrayed Against Home
Land and Family.

Germany, before the war, treated the
American woman who came to her
arms with great consideration. The
touch of business did not rankle at
the imperial court because the kaiser
himself embarked In trade and was as
proud of his pottery as he was of II
new regiment.
But there was sadly different story
to be told in Austria, all of which adds
to the predicament of the talented and
beautiful women who are now forced
by love TO salute flag that is arrayed
against their own.
Under the rules of the Austrian
court no person could be presented
unless eight generations of nobility
could be shown as a condition prece-
dent. Coming from America, where
titles of nobility are not recognized,
these women found the imperial gate
closed, or half-closed to them, while
anything with the required armorial
bearings might slide through the
chink.
Notable among them was the Count
ess Sigray, who was Miss Harriet
DAILY, daughter of the late Marcus
DAILY. Her sister is Mrs. james w.
Gerard, wife of the former ambassa-
dor of the United States to Germany.
She married Count Anton Sigray. who
had held many important posts in the
service of the empire and whose pO-
sition at the court was beyond any
possible question. Love and the law
also took her from the land of her
birth and from the friends and rela-
tives who are cheering for Old Glory
while she nurses the sick and seeks
the wounded under the imperial BAN
ner.
She has given a private hospital to
the Austrian forces, and. with New
York enterprise, has seen to it that
the government also had first-class
X-ray outfit for the treatment of the
wounded.

What One Horsepower VIII Do.

An astute French mathematician has
found that in certain watches the mo-
tons exceed two hundred million a
year In little equal jumps. In the
same time the outside of the average
balance travels seven thousand five
hundred miles. Yet despite this as
tonishing distance travelled by the ordi-
nary watch the amount of power con-
sumed is trifling. One horsepower is
sufficient to run two hundred and sew
enty million watches. This is proba-
bly, all the watches that are In exis-
tence. But If there should be more
there would be enough power left In
the one horsepower to run an addi-
tlonal thousand watches or so.-Popu'

Even more interesting than the exte-
rior design is the interior arrange
ment. The entrance into the house
is by way of a vestibule which opens
into the living room. Three rooms are
here grouped together in a most pleas

group is the large living room with It's

tirely around the inclOsed space, there
Is a built-in seat There Is a large
window in the center Of the forward
wall of the nook. A colonnade separates
the living room from the dining room,
which completes the group. The din
ing room also has a three-wlndow bay
in the outer wall and buffet is placed
against the center of the wall opposite.
A broad seat is built into the bay, add
ing the final touch to the scheme.
French doors lead back from the
dining room into the breakfast room.
The outer walls Of this room are prac-
tically all glazed, which establishes
this as one of the most pleasant fea-
lures of the house. In the corner of
the house adjacent to the breakfast
room is grouped the rear entry, the
kitchen and, near the center, the pan
try. The arrangement is ideal. The
refrigerator is placed in the entry and
a door Is built in the wall for icing 1t
from the rear porch. Across the wall
opposite the entrance there Is a shelf
from the chimney to the side wall.
This shelf is high enough so that the
refrigerator sets under 1t. The most
Interesting detail of this arrangement
is the location of the serving pantry.
This pantry connects the kitchen with
the dining room. There is a cased
opening from 1t into the kitchen and
swinging door into the dining room.
A cupboard occupies the wall toward
the rear of the building. A slide Is
provided which extends out under the
window In the hall between the pan
try and the breakfast porch.
The first floor bedrooms are ar
ranged according to the best modern
practice, which places them side by
side with a connecting hall. Each
bedroom closet is fitted with a shelf
and rail all around for clothes hooks.
Most contractors and builders will sug-
gest that an iron pipe or wood rod be
placed horizontally across the closet
just under the shelf, so that clothes
placed on hangers may be hung there,

The second floor Is reached from the
living room, the stair door being d.
rectly In front OF the vestibule. The
stairs lead to the sewing room on the
second floor which connects with an
open hall leading to the bedrooms and
toilet. There Is linen closet In this
hall handy to the two bedrooms. These
bedrooms are provided with closets.
and In the larger one there Is also a.

open. The statement has been made
that there Is practically no outsider
exposure on the walls Of the second
floor rooms. This Is clearly Indicated
on the plan, which shows that there isl

GERMANY AND AUSTRIA To
MAKE ANOTHER PEACE OFFER
PRESSED BY HER ALLIES, GERMANY WILLING
TO QUIT WITHOUT INDEMNITY.
Starvation Is Staring Austria Bulgaria and Turkey
the Face and Inhabitants of Those Coun-
tries Insist on Peace.
(By Associated Press)

Amsterdam, Oct. 9.-Germany and
Austria have agreed to make another
peace offer to the Allies, as a result
Of the positive insistence Of Austria,
Turkey and Bulgaria, the Berlin
Deutche Tage Zeitung learns on good
authority.
The basis of the offer will be: No
territorial aggrandizement, the sur
render of Belgium and French terri
tory, and the remuneration of posi-
tive territorial acquisitions for pay
ments in money, and no indemnity by
either side. In short, Germany and
Austria want peace to restore con-
ditions as they were before the war
began, without paying any indemnity
or without exacting an indemnity.
The allies of Germany, it has be-
come known, are pressing the impe-
rial government to make this peace
offer. The Golfers and Iarders of
the Teutonic allies are depleted, and
there are loud cries from people in
all walks Of life, especially in Aus
tria and Bulgaria, for an end of the
war.
There is growing displeasure in
German parliamentary circles against
Vice Chancellor Helfferich, owing to
Saturdays events in the Reichstag.
The Dusseldorf Anzeiger prints the
report that Helfferich is to resign in
q few weeks.
