CENTENARY OF
 CONFEDERATE
 CHIEFTAIN

Confederate veterans will cele- brate to-day the centenary of one of their great military leaders, Gen. Braxton Bragg. Born in Warren County, N. C., on March 22, 1917, he graduated from West Point at the age of twenty, and served in the Seminole and Mexican wars. In the latter conflict he distinguished himself in the battle of Buena Vista, when 5000 Americans defeated and scattered a a Mexican force of 10000. Bragg was in charge of a battery, and it was to him that Taylor addressed his fa- nous order, "A little more grape, Captain Bragg" The grape" was duly delivered, and, the Mexican as sault was turned into wild and dis organized retreat.
 In 1856 Bragg retired from the United States army, with the rank of major general. He took an impor- tant part in the battle of Shiloh, and was made general in place of A. S.. Johnston, who was killed. In May of 1862 he succeeded Beauregard in command, and planned the conquest of Tennessee and Kentucky. At the head of 65,000 men he expected to
 
 make an easy advance to Louisville, but he was confronted by Buell. with 6O, ,OO0 men, and the battle ensued near Perryville. Bragg was forced to beat retreat towards eastern Tennessee, and abandoned Kentucky. Driven out of strong positions he had taken in 1863, Bragg made rapid march to Chattanooga. Tn the bat tie of Chickamauga he inflicted a se were defeat on the army of Gen. Rosecrans, but at Missionary Ridge little later the tables were turned, and Bragg was defeated by Grant
 Early in 1864 Gen. Bragg was re- lieved of his command and was ap- pointed military adviser to Jefferson Davis, later assuming command of the department of North Carolina. Af- ter the war he was chief engineerNof the state of Alabama, and superinten- ed the improvements in Mobile Bay. He died in Galveston in 1876.

KING HUSSEIN

Hussein l., King of the Hejax, is the latest addition to the roll of the worlds monarchs. He is the former Grand Sherif of Mecca who, last July, raised the standard of revolt against the Turkish Sultan, and, with the aid of his sons, drove the Turks from the hoIy city of the Mohammedans and from all the surrounding country. The new kingdom of Arabia. of which Hussein I, is the monarch, has an area of 100000 square miles. , Thus has been restored that old independence of Arabia which began in the eleventh century and continued until just four centuries ago, ending in 1517.
 King Hussein is sixty-six years old, and is the father of three sons, who led the Arab armies in their revolt against Turkish misrule. and who now hold important positions in the new government which has it's capi- tai in Mecca The monarch is of me- dium height, with very light com plexion for an Arab, and, like most Moslem dignitaries, wears a long beard, now snowy white He is well educated, and versed in modern sci ence as well as in the lore of his fa;.-As::. All three of his sons were ed- ucated in European universities, and are strictly modern in their tastes, al- though devout followers of the Pro- phet Before his elevation to the post of Grand Sheriff, Hussein spent many years in Constantinople, where he was known for his uprightness and nobility of character. In addition to being King of Arabia, Hussein is now being generally recognized by Moslem peoples as the Caliph of Islam-the pope of the whole Mohammedan world. At his coronation, attended by Moslem officers from Frances AL gerian army and princes from British India, recognition of his succession as Caliph was fully accorded by the rep

BERLIN PAPER WARNS U. s. OF NEW DANGER

Amsterdam, March 22-The Berlin Tageblatt referring to the arming of American merchantmen, says:
 "A very extraordinary situation may arise if American sailors, in their excitement, fire on the first submarine they see, for it possibly might be French or English. A Ger man submarine would not come to the surface in the danger zone as long as al steamer was in sight. America must not think she can con- voy merchantmen by warships with impunity. The declaration of London foresees the possibility of such action, but this antiquated legislation, which does not recognize submarines or danger zones, is valueless to us."
