Hans Won BIeichroder.

Hans Won Bleichroder, one Of the
two principal partners of Bleichroder
& Co., bankers, Berlin, Germany, died
a short time ago at the age Of sixty
four.
The banking firm Of Bleichroder &
Co. came into international prominence
when it helped Bismarck finance the
war against France, and Hans Won
Bleichroder was ennobled at that time.
His son, Hans, Jr., was killed in action
on the Warsaw front, August 1, 1915.
At one time the son was secretly en-
gagged to Princess Sophia of Sax-Wei-
mar, who committed suicide in 1913 be-
cause, it was alleged, her father, Prince
William, would not permit her mar
riage.. Young Bleichroder studied bank
ing in New York in 1910. The marriage
was opposed not so much because
young Baron Won Bleichroder was be-
meath the princess in rank, but be-
cause he was a Jew and refused to re-
nounce his creed. The elder Bleich-
roder is said to have been worth more
than $4O,OOO,O0O.

Neat Comment Made by Brother
Officer When Informed Of Illness
Of WeIl-knoWn Looter.

Lieut.. Ben L. Maloney, who is
well-known figure on auto row and
who directed a government motor
truck company in Texas last summer,
tells a story Of the famous Chinese
Boxer campaign.
"a certain officer in the American
forces failed to preserve the high
reputation Of his corps in the matter
of looting," said Lieutenant Maloney.
"Whereas most American soldiers
earned the respect and gratitude Of
the Chinese by the way in which they
refrained from rohbing the natives,
this one officer We'd with the Euro

pecially partial to ancient brass and
bronze vases and jars, which in this
country would be of inestimable value,
and he literally grabbed up every such
curio he could lay his hands on.
"One day the star looter Of the
Yankee contingent fell i'll and was

PROBLEM YET 70 BE SOLVED
Housing Of cityss Population Calls for
the Best Thought That Can Be
Called Upon.

That housing the people still lacks
facts to make it science was shown in
a late discussion by Prof. S. NJ. Gum
of the Massachusetts Institute Of Tech
nology. Among the recently acquired
bits of knowledge is that consumption
is not house disease, as even Koch
the discoverer Of it's active agent
thought, but is one that is transmitted
by the sick man himself. Infant dis
ease, too, is not due to the house, CHIEF
causes being ignorance of the parents,
economic conditions and racial factors.
Considerations of sunlight and ventila-
ton complicate the problem of housing
reform. Long exposure to sunlight has
effected cures, but just what is it's spe-
cial influence in homes is yet to be
made known. Professor Gum is in
clined to credit it with psychological
value, as the well-lighted bouse offers
such health factors as cheerfulness, alb
sence of dirt and inspiration to effort
The actual value Of outdoor air is a
matter of like uncertainty. Fresh air
is best for man when it can be had,
but experiments have shown that there
is not the real danger in breathed-over
air we were once taught. In crowded
factory districts, where the supply Of
outdoor air is restricted, feelings Of op-
preston may be prevented by such
measures as controlling circulation,
temperature and humidity. In the con-
troll Of winter heating, education is
needed. Houses are notoriously> over
heated and the air from furnaces Is
not properly fed with moisture. With
air dampened without taking its mois-
ture from the human body and the
furniture, comfort is reached at a
lower temperature than with dry air,
coal being saved.

AMAZING IS VOGUE OF GOLF
Many Americans Now Play Game Un.
known to Them Twenty-Five
Years Ago.

TWENTY-FIVE years ago there was as
much golf played in the United States
as there is baseball played in the CEN
tral villages of the Fiji islands. Which
IS to say, practically none whatsoever,
writes Grantland Rice in the New York
Tribune.
Yet facing 1917 there are 5000 golf
courses, covering more than 100000
acres, inhabited by something like 9OO,-
OC0 players of both sexes, from twelve
to eighty years of age. In the broad
span Of a sport no one can recall such
a development as this in so short
time.
The change from 1890 to 1917 is al
most beyond belief. No one knows
earlier conditions better than Jack
Clark, the well-known professional at
the Madison Country club, Madison,
Conn.
'Tll never forget" he says, when l
brought my clubs from Scotland
through the custom house in Boston
back in May, 1890. The custom house

field were playing baseball, and they
thought we were crazy. But few OF
them consented to try it out, and I'M
mediately took up the game when they
found it so much harder than it looked.
"The trouble in the early days." con-
tinued Clark, twas loaning golf balls
and clubs. When we lost what few balls
we had, we had to send back to Scot
land for more, and wait six weeks, as
we couldn't buy any over here. I'll

sporting goods store in Boston in 1911.
I told the salesman I wanted a golf

Who will the poet be who shall be
able to frame in epic form Just APP
probation of your courage and your
sacrifice?
There is no true American heart
that does not beat with Joy because
we are now rapidly approaching
time when we shall stand beside you
and your allies in strength and force.
The happiest feeling that every
virtue loving, crime hating citizen OF
the United States can have at thus
time, must come from the thought
that now at this Christmas time, we
are no longer sitting as proftinS on
lockers, while dccency morality and
democracy are fighting for decision
with the forces of IL vicious -barbar-
-wantonly ruthless autocraey,
which with methodical madness and
desperate dcpravity seeks to impose
it's will and rule upon ChrIstIan'
peace loving world.
At this Christmas time we OF the
United States of America, find our
selves again in possession OF our
national self respect We have DEM
onstrated, though perhaps somewhat
tardly, that our successful CONNER
cjalism has not blinded us to the
more exalted duties and responsible
tiles of our national life. or to the
great and serious part we must take
in the affairs of the community of
the nations.
AS a nation, we have been given
much. and that memorable law OF
compensation will demand that we
shall give much in return And we
shall give it: the atmosphere is clear
ING: the issue is hourly more plainly
defined.
The political and social aims ct
those allied in this world war against

makes Right. assume more concrete
form and become more effectively
purposeful each day, with the result
that more than ever united people
in these United States, find them
selves sauarely behind and backing
up the nations policies.
Some day the sun will again shine
on all humanity: civilization will
again regain its equilibrium: and
right, truth and justice will once
more emerge triumphant from their
struggle with the Kultur of immoral
ity.
On that day vain-glorious ambi-
tions, envous hatreds and inhuman
passions will meet an end to indul-
gence.
Tyrants cropping for world power
and volators of the law of God and
/ their own pledged word, will have
