More Fame for stuttoar+.

Stuttgart, which French aviatOrs
bombed recently, is the original home
Of the aircraft engine. 1t was in Stutt-
gart that Daimler evolved the inter
nal combustion engine which French
man, with an eye to utility, quickly
turned to account in the first practical
motor car, says the Christian Science
Monitor. Here, too, Count Zeppelin
evolved his monster airships, making
use Of the knowledge which trials and
experiments in the big Daimler works
had served to bring to light. Facts
such as these seem more pertinent at
these times than the other reasons for
Stuttgart's fame. She has, as every
one knows, a famous music academy,
and her reputation for music is GER
tainly far older than that which she
has acquired by her machinery; also,
it is unspOiled by anything of the ma
ture which has made the very word
Zeppelin a byword in civilized coun-
tries.

A prerevolutiOnary mansion is to be

of the continental troops in the victory
Of Saratoga in 1777. The house had
been erected Is years before and stood
In the open country within what are
now the city limits. The estate, with
it's ample grounds and negro slave
quarters, was known as ''The Pasture.S

KORNIL0FF IS A BRAINY MAN
Noted Russian General Has at His
Finger-Ends the Literature Of
Fully Fifteen Countries.

Whatever may be said or thought
of KornilOff, there can be NO doubt
that he is brilliantly clever says a
correspondent. He might be termed a
"self-made man." At the age of thir-
teen he was tending sheep on the
Steppes; today, at forty-seven, he has
at his finger-ends the literature of 10
countries and all manner Of military
lore.
At one period of his meteoric career
he combined the two Unmatched pur-
suits of science and spying.
Though he can converse in Is Ian
guages, Korniloff is a great believer
In the maxim that "silence is golden"
On one occasion he said: 81 am a
fighting general, accustomed to act
and not to talk. In PetrOgrad most Of
the time is spent in talking"

Charles Lathrop Peck, president OF

Had Hidden Wealth.

For twelve years Michael Kenney,
once Brooklyn water inspector, lived
in a small furnished room at 2789 Nor
ris avenue, the Bronx. He seldom
spoke to anyone, and when he was ac-
cidentally asphyxiated by gas the po-
lice had no way of ascertaining
whether he had any relatives.
1t was known he owned the two
family house III which he occupied a
room, and he was given a decent bur
ial.
Public Administrator Hammer went
to the Morris avenue house recently
and searched the room in hope of
finding information which might lead
to relatives. In bureau drawers he
found bank books representing depos-
its of $4,000. Under an icebOx there
was $2,041 in bills, and hidden in the
hair of an old settee was $1O0 in gold.

STOLEN TREASURES OF ART
Germany Will Hold Rare Collections
Taken From France and Belgium
Unless Peace Terms Interfere.

Will one of the peace conditions in
vOlve a return to Belgian and French
art treasures removed by the Ger
mans since 1914 from the occupied
territccies? asks the New York Eve
ming Post.
Until the present wars outbreak,
everyone has supposed the custom of
nations changed since NapOleOn's
time, so that it would no longer be
possible for conqueror to fill his mu-
seums with plunder. That suppOsl-
ton, like so many others, seems to
have been given the lie by the kaiser,
whose agents are said to have emp
tied the Antwerp and Brussels mu-
seums for the benefit of Berlin. Even
the emperor's grandfather, in the war
of 1870, took practically no toll Of
Paris art treasures.
Malice has ascribed this moderation
to the lack, in that Spartan genera
ton, of appreciation for art, which led
those earlier invaders to cOnfine their
activities, for the most part, to or
mOlu clocks and silver services. The
modern Prussian, however, from the
crown prince down, has become a
dilettante, an art cOnnOisseur. Hence
the very thought of cleanup made Of
art objects. Berlin, willy nilly, is to
be made a world art center. If tour
lists prefer Paris because of its great
er natural charm, they will, in any
event, be forced to visit the Prussian
capital in order to see Rubens 'De-
scent From the Cross"
A monopoly of the worlds potash
supply, and a collection of stolen art,
is to keep the world at Germany's
mercy-unless the terms of peace pro-
vide otherwise.

SOLDIERS LOT NOT so BAD
American Fighters at the Front Not
In the Trenches Continuously
Plenty of Amusement.

The trouble with the American pub
lie is that they have heard and read
so much of the great war and it's hor-
rors that they think their boys are go
ing to be continually in the midst of
bloOdshed and constantly in discOm-
fort, and they concentrate on the ter
rible side of it and ask, ''HOw long
will it be before he is killedT They
don't see that that Is not all there is
to it," declares a war correspondent.
1t is natural enough Of course. A
man writes a book about the war,
takes one incident, and another, and
another, makes chapters of them, with
the result that the man and woman
who read his book read & succession
of horrors, and they think it is all like
that. They don't realize, or they for
get, the weeks between these "hor-
rors" and discomforts.
A man is in the front trench under
fire, say, two days, and sent back four,
or perhaps four days and sent back
eight. Usually a brigade is in the
fire sector" 80 days. Then it is sent
back to the rest billets for an equal
time. Here the men are in practical
ly no danger-perhaps an occasional
shell. They are together in jolly COM
radeship, having lots of amusements-
football, baseball-plenty to do. They
are well fed, well equipped, well
amused.
OF course, the grouchy soldier is 60
ing to have a grouchy time, but the
life of the American soldier on the
western front is going to be just about
what he makes it. If he goes into it
in the right spirit he will find that it
isn't so bad as it is cracked up to be.
And then he will be in a great state of
indignation because the reports Of it
have made it seem so awful.
When he realizes that it isn't so
bad, he mustn't forget to sit down and
tell the folks at homel He knows it's
lot better than he thought it was go
ing to be. But they don't.

NO MAN WHO IS LOYAL IS BEING CRITICISED, NO MATTER WHAT HIS NAME OR NATIONALITY.

 Nobody attack us. We have not 6 drop of anything but the purest leu tonic blood flowing through our veins and of this fact we are exceedingly proud, although we had no hand in achieving this piece of good for tune.
 The boys who joined the army and navy from this place are 95 per cent of German extraction in their numbers.
 If given the opportunity they will give as good account of themselves as the sons of these fothers and mo thers who trace their ancestry baci into France or Italy or England.
 This is a time for Germans iii America to keep their records per taining to their loyalty particularly clean and free from blemish.
 They are under observation, large ly on account of the past asininity and pernicious activity of the DeutScn- Americanischer National Bund.
 There must be no question mark government of theshrdlu shr shrdlu on the character and loyalty of the government of the United States oi any German in America. We are al Americans now. Let us be true Amer jeans. Let us be warm-hearted an0 enthusiastically for America.
 Three lusty cheers for the star and stripes before adjournment would have won more respect for the Chi cago convention Of the German Amer ican Alliance than all of the whining and craven resolutions and misrepre sented begging the president, whom they have heretofore only blackguard' ed and misrepresented, for protec- tion, and by proving themselves loyal they would have obviated the neces- sity of government protection.
 They seek protection for an infant industry, infants in mentality, ascer- tained through the application of the Binet system.
 Nobody but fool is against his own government in time of war or al lows the suspicion of being against it to rest against him.
 Get right with your country and shout it from the housetops.
 Remove all doubt of your good standing as a true American by adopt ing an attitude of unquestionable. jealous and aggressive patriotism.
 The German kaiser-livers in Amer ica have already hurt all of the Ger man people in America, notwithstand- ing the fact that 99 per cent of the Germans in this country are absolute ly and desperately loyal to the stars and stripes and know no such thinI as a divided alleg .ance.
 The governmental policies of the German empire are dictated by pig heads and numbslEulls, and their sup porters in this country come under the same psychiatric diagnosis.
