THE EARL OF NoRBURY.

1t takes truly big man to aban-
don the station in life into which he
was born in order that he might
serve his country in what Is usually
considered a less exalted station in
life. Plenty of men in England
France, Canada and the United States
have for this purpose sacrificed, great
comforts and even 1uxuries, but none
has done so with greater enthusiasm
than the Earl of Norbury. Finding
when the war was a few months old
that he was over the age limit for
military service. he Immediately set
to work to find an occupation in
which he could be of help to his
country. So he donned overalls and
took a job in an aeroplane factory,
where his wages were fourteen cents
an hour. He didn't look for some
soft" job either, but stood in line
with 200 other workmen and applied
for work, real work. And heegot it,
And today he is still at it, reporting
for work regularly at 6 o'clock in the
morning, and putting in his full day at
the. factory. He has his meals with
the rest of his fellow laborers and,
because his name is too long for busy
men to bother with, they simply call
him Nor Lord Norbury did not
undertake the work with any idea of
making a hero of himself, but simply
because he wanted to set an example
to other aristocrats Of his. age. It
was simply his own way of doing his
bit and he certainly is doing it. Lord
Norbury was born July q, 1862, and
is therefore receiving the congratula-
lions of his fellow workmen on his
fifty-fifth birthday.

ToDAYs ANNIVERSARIES,

In the year 928 Pope John x was
suffocated in prison. This occurred
on July 2. John x, is generally con-
sidered to have been a stronger mill
tary leader than church leader, for he
led an army against the Turks and
utterly defeated them in battle. On
the same date in the year 1895 John
Ballot aidbacted at Kincardin. For
three years he had the Tower of
London and circuit around its walls
for twenty miles for his possession.
In 1899 he was permitted to retire to
Normandy where he died forgotten
six years afterward. On the second
of July 1176 the resolution was pass
ed by Congress declaring the North
American Colonies independent. On
this day in the year 1900 the bill for
the union of Great Britain and Ire
land was signed by order of King
George III. The United States and
Austria: were on the verge of war on
July 2, 1853, over an. incident at
Smyrna. The American and Austrian
consuls at that place got into a. con-
troversy over one Martin Kostza, an
Austrian refugee. Capt. Ingraham OF
the American sloop of war St. Louis
hearing of the design of the Austrian
consul to convey Kostza to Trieste
demanded his surrender and brough,
his guns to bear on the Austrian brig
A compromise was affected by deliv-
ering Kostza to the French Consul

GREAT GERMAN COMPOSER.

Music lovers throughout the world
will today pay homage to the memory
of Christopher Willibald Gluck, who
was born at Hefdenwang, in the Upper
Palatinate, July 2, 1714. His most
noted work is "Iphigenie in Aulis."
While Chuck was a German by
birth, his greatest successes were
scored in Paris. The tragedies of Cor
nellie and Rioine were the models
upon which he formed the grandeur
of musical harmony Gluck owed his
musical education to a Bohemian
nobleman, Prince Lopkowitz, upon
whose estate Gluck's father was
game keeper. The prince sent him
to the best teacher at Prague and
later took him to Vienna and intro
duced him to society. Chuck at once
made a very favorable impression.
Later he went to Italy under the pa
tronage of Prince Malzi and settled in
Milan. He then began writing operas
and in four years, from 1741 to 1745,
he composed eight, which were given
with success in Italian cities. Later
Gluck went to London but his work
did not meet with much enthusiasm
there He thereupon went to Paris
and now rose to the heighth of his
attainments. He was entertained by
Marie Antoinette, who was then the
dauphiness and who had been his
pupil in Vienna. 1t was here that
.Iphigenie" was produced for the first
time at the Paris Academy of Music.
Chuck worked necessarily after his
great success and this together with
the social obligations he had to per-
form so taxed his strength as to bring
on an attack of apoplexy. He imme-
| diately threw aside all his labors and
went back to Vienna. He lived for
several years after his return there
and died on Nov. IS, 1891. at the age
of u.

WILSON FAvORS
Mild EMBARGO
FOR NEUTRALS
Hopes to Curtail Shipments
Without Angering
Nations.

Washington, July 2.-While there
is considerable difference of opinion
as to the length to which the Admin
istration should go in cutting off ex-
ports to neutrals contiguous to Ger
many, it is understood that the Presi-
dent does not wish Immediately to
take steps so harsh that they would
rouse unnecessary resentment in the
| countries affected. Some officials of
the administration agree entirely
| with the British government, which
| aims at the entire elimination of
| trade between those neutrssls and
| Germany, or else would cut off all
| necessary supplies from the United
States.
1t is recognized that an agreement
between Britain and America-the
nations which control the raw ma
terials of the wordsworth prevent
trading between Holland, Switzerland
and Scandinavia, the countries which
would be most Immediately affected.
and Germany. President Wilson,
however, is known to favor a policy
that would avoid arousing hard feel
ings toward America. by the neutral
1 countries.
| There is a disposition in the Ad-
| ministration to make the most effec-
| tive use possible of the economic
weapons placed in its hands by Con-
gress without mourning undue ami
mostly in the neutral countries. 1t is
realized that military necessity might
later make imperative more severe
action than is at present conteplated
in the first proclamations to be issued
by the President.
i Great Britain and those American
officials who oppose half measures
and contend that the fullest use ought
to be made Of the powers placed in
the hands of the President declare
that the economic pressure which
may be brought to bear upon the
neutra1s would constitute severe
blow at the military organization OF
Germany and be- equivalent to the
most effective use that might possibly
be made Of the purely military and
naval forces of the United States in
one year of warfare.
If the restrictions urged should he
