HARDEN Is never
HAPPY UNLESS HE
KNOCKS KAISER
Pledged Himself to Make
Emperor Smart for a
Past Action.
Macmillan Harden is never happy

Macmillan Harden is never happy
unless he is criticising the Kaiser.
Harden in his early days as a Ber-
Film Journalist, became intimate with
Prince Bismarck, who took the young
man because of his remarkable in
sight into international politics. When
the Iron Chancellor was dropped by the
present Kaiser Harden pledged him
self to make the Kaiser smart for it
some day. In his small but influ-
entail weekly, Die Zukunft (The Flu
ture) he hurled regular vo1leys of
criticism at everything the Kaiser or
his Government did. Several times
he went to Jail for 1ese majestic, but
anticipation Of another prison term or
"a dozen prison terms never deferred
Harden from continuing his vitriolic
attacks.
In 1907 he shook the Prussian court
with exposures of the doings of some
of the mobiles in high military stations.
Kaiser was obliged to retire these men
to private life. Harden was brought
to trial for criminal libel, but was
acquitted amid the plaudits Of many
the Berlin streets on the shoulders Of

Since the beginning of the war he
has justified Americas munitions
transa ctions with the Allies, on the
ground that in all other wars Ger
many was always very willing sell
er of munitions to any side of the con-
troversy. His publication was sup
pressed many times.
Harden also had a few unkind
words to say about hyphenates. He
said that the Germans who emigrat-
ed to America must have gone there
because they found it better for them
there than in their own country. It
was only human for them, he said,
to favor their native land in a foreign
war, but in any controversy between
the United States and Germany they
would be unworthy Of anything if
they did not support their adopted
country.

BIG ARMY-MADE
VIRGINIA CAPES'
TSH0WS WORTH
Navy Silent on Work Of
Guard Which Trapped
Dominion Liner.

| Washington, Feb. %. - Good-na.
turedly rivalry has developed between
| the Navy and War departments over
| the construction and operation of the
| big submarine catching net that now
guards the entrance to Hampton roads
| through the Virginia Capes.
According to a brief announcement
by the War department this net was
made in a hurry by the coast artil-
lery troops stationed at Fort Mon
roe. War department officials are
proud of the work and the speed
made by the men in making and
planting the net.
Once planted, the operation of the
net was left to naval vessels. The
fit to make any definite announcement
about the placing of this net, the first
news of which came from Norfolk.
When the War department issued
it's statement late yesterday it was not
known to the army censor that an Old
Dominion liner had become entangled
in the net, and that three tugs were
busily engaged in an effort to extract
It, This would explain why the ma
wy censor had done no boasting about
the efficiency Of the net or tbs opera
ton. Naval vessels are supposed to
safely convoy ships passing in and out
of Hampton Roads through the net.
Since the Old Dominion steamer
got caught in the net, the navy censor
appears content to let the army cen
sor do all the talking about it.
The net was planted at the entrance
to the roads for the purpose Of pre-
venting the possible ingress Of Ger
man war submarines should any drop
in to-. be, on hand in the event of
open hostilities between Germany and
the United States. A live submarine
commander could work havoc in
Hampton Roads, in New York har-
Dor or in any other port where large
numbers Of merchant and naval YES
sells congregate before submarine cha
sers could "get'' his craft.
What a number of German subma-
rines could do on this side can be
readily imagined by reference to the
work Of the U-53 off Nantucket light
ship last October, when it bagged five
steamers on. a pleasant Sunday.
American naval officers expect that
if ,hostilities come Germany will send
a few submarines across the Allan
tic from time to time to harass ship
ping on this side. Uncle Sam pro-
poses to besready. A flock OF 1000
gasoline boats is available for use as
submarine chasers and for inshore pa
troll work. Experience abroad shows
that submarine commanders do not
like fast motorboats with light guns.

POSED AS UNMARRIED
MAN WITH WOMAN, WIFE
OF PIERCE WALL SAYS

Pierce Wall of Seymour must have
been a gay boy if the allegations made
by Nan Wall of Darien in her divorce
action are true. In papers filed in
the superior court she accuses Wall
of using the names of Paul Stevens
and Paul Stevenson and posing as an
unmarried man in Savin Rock and
New Haven. He is charged with hav-
ing been friendly with various women
in those places
1t is also alleged in the complaint
that the defendant went to a New
York city hotel with Frances Panuska
where he registered as Parry Wall.
In the early part of this month he is
alleged to have visited New Haven
hotel with a woman whose name is
not mentioned. Mrs. Wall asks for
alimony and the custody of two minor
children.

YOUNG AUSTRIAN
RULER SLASH|NC
RED TAPE ORDER
theoretically Attacks New
Task and Begins Clean
Up of Monarchy

Vienna, Feb. 23.-via London.-The
intense cold weather has passed and a
thaw has set in which has measurably
solved the fuel difficulty in Vienna and
incidentally greatly facilitated the i'm
portation of foodstuffs. The flour
mills, which were shut down because
of frozen rivers, are again in operation
and full bread rations are once more
in force.
Emperor Charles has been a tire
less worker in the campaign to relieve
economic conditions and the imperial
teams are still hauling coal for the
populace. The sight of the blooded
stock, heretofore only harnessed to
state coaches, hauling heavy coal
trucks is one of the curious war time
incidents in the Austrian capital. The
emperor recently banished wheat
bread from the officers mess at all ar
my headquarters and had both wheat
and our removed from a special train
that was taking his brother, Arch
duke Macmillan, to Constantinople.
In issuing this latter order the empe-
ror remarked that if the common
soldiers, the people and himself were
contented with black bread, the party
on the train also should be.
Another result Of the monarch's
intervention has been that Vienna
street cars are still running day and
night. DR.. Weiskirchner, the burgo-
master, had decided that no cars
should run between 9 in the morning
and in the afternoon. The emperor
informed DR.. Weiskirchner that this
step must not be thought of, and at
first the burgomaster threatened to
resign. After a tax with the en-
peror over the telephone, however,
the head of the municipality changed
his mind. II appears that he told
the emperor that the cars must be
stopped on account of lack of coal.
He was told that it was his business to
find fuel, and he did so. In order
to avoidA evasion by the city council
the emperor himself fixed the num-
Der of cars which were to run.
Some official circles in Vienna and
elsewhere throughout the empire
have not yet recovered from the
shock caused by the energetic meth
DDS Of the young emperor. Red tape
has been cut right and left, and Of
fetal heads continue to fall in the
general cleanup which is still going
on. It is sad time for certain army
officers who have been enjoying
staff sinecures. In one instance the
emperor sent a batch iof 10 to the
front and succeeded them with inva-
lided officers. While the official
classes were at first inclined to offer
passive resistance, they now have re-
signed themselves to the inevitable.
Those who feel the pace of the new
regime too fast are resigning, while
the rest are attempting to live up to
the monarcks demands for hard
work, efficiency and punctuality.
The energy and force of character
displayed by the young emperor are
attributed by those who know him to

FEAR DEFEAT OF
WATERWAYS BILL

1.-THE Rivers and Harbor Bill now
pending before the Senate" said Sena-
tor Ransdell of Louisiana, 'is the
most constructive piece of waterway
legislation introduced in many years.
1t eliminates a number of the projects
which have been sharply criticized
and provides for beginning work on 90
of undoubted merit and Importance,
new projects, every one of which is
and has received unqualified approval
of the army engineers. Moreover, pro-
vision is made to prosecute and main
tain every worthy waterway project
in the land which is already under
way.
notwithstanding the great merit
of this measure, which carries an ap-
preparation of about $39,000.000 for
the next fiscal year, minority report
has been filed by Senators Kenyon,
Jones, Sherman, Harding and Watson,
which proposes to substitute a lump
suma preparation Of s25,Oo0.0oO to
carry on existing projects, and also
authorizes IL new projects of more
or less Importance.
eff this substitute is adopted, it
will be the hardest blow ever received
by river and harbor legislation. I
earnestly appeal to every friend Of
waterways to do his utmost to defeat
this substitute and secure the adop-
ton of the bill as reported by the
majority of the Committee on Com
merce.
There is great congestion of traffic
throughout the Union and every

tute. The item is short. The emer-

CAN AMERICANS s.
FIGHT? ANSWER -
BUENA VISTA

Can Americans light! DO inc CiI-
liens Of Uncle Sans country make
good soldiers? That is a question
which has excited much interest OF
late. And if we base the answer, on
their record the answer is a very
decided affirmative. They can. and
they do. -
Take the case OF Buena Vista,
fought just seventy years ago today.
OF course, that was a piffling sort
of battle, compared with the great
battles of today, but It was just as
severe a test of the human metal as
any present conflict It is true that
the Americans were opposed to the
Mexicans, and it is the custom to
sheer at the prowess Of the Mexicans.
Which is a mistake. They are a
brave people. according to their
lights although incapable Of that
bulldog pertinacity which is one OF
the characteristics OF the Anglo Sax
on fighting breed. Is,
At Buena Vista there were 10000
Mexicans, and the great majority OF
them were soldiers at least equally
army. They were commanded by
Of being a leader OF great ability,
and was supposed to be invincible.
They had all the odds in their favor,
The f1ower Of the Mexican forces,
well armed and trained to the minute,
surrounded the American force OF g.
900 men. In numbers the odds we're
four to one in favor OF the Men-
cans, and they had a great advantage
~ r,oci<tnn m oddifiovH <1a,v rt,nS,
fighting on their own soil, on ter
rain chosen by themselves.
On the morning of Washington
birthday the two armies came to-
gether, and there was skirmishing
all day, but it was not until early in
the morning of the, 23rd that the
real battle commenced, In the mean
time Santa Ana had sent a note to
General Taylor, the American com
mander, informing him that he was
surrounded by 10000 men, and could
not avoid being hacked to pieces and
totally obliterated if he risked bat
tie; but as he held the American
commander in special esteem, he
would, as mark Of regard, permit
him to surrender Internationally
Taylor was given an hour to reach q
decision, but less than a minute was
required for him to refuse the fnvi-
tation. ~. ~ :
All day the battle ragged, with ter.
rible slaughter on both sides. Until
near sunset it was doubtful who
would be victorious. Toward the end
Santa Ana concentrated his forces for
desperate assault on the Ameri can
center, but the batteries poured such
a grilling fire int0 the enemy thai
soon the line began to waver. Taylo,
calmly directing the fray, turned tc
Captain Braxton Bragg and said,
"Giye 'em little more grape, Cap
tain Bragg, a little more grape.,, The
grape" was duly given, and the Mex
leans turned and fled in wild confu-
sion
Buena Vista was really the decisive
battle of the war. 1t was the first
great battle on Mexican soil, and it
served to disabuse the Mexicans OF
their idea of superiority. Their
morale was completely broken. and
the dispirited soldiers of Santa Ana,
who had fought with such desperate
valor, melted away. "Old Zach" Tay-
lor. got the Mexican goat" at Buena
Vista, and after that the invaders
had everything their own way.
