STOCK MARKET

New York, Feb. 6--Qpening: Vir- tually all the market leaders moved to higher levels at today's opening, United States Steel again pointing the way with substantial fractional ad- vance, which soon was increased to 1A points. Coppers were next in speculativel favor, with oils, ship pings, Central Leather, Pittsburgh Coal, Industrial Alcohol and Ameri- can Can.5 The market became de- cidedly irregular before the end of the first half hours on heaviness of railrords, New Haven making a new low record of 385s with weakness in other transportation shares, including Canadian Nacific, which fell more than two points, and Northern Pa cific. Motors and Beet Sugar were also reactionary.
 Noon.-Unsettleme in railroads af- early advances being surrendered, but renewed buying of Steel and active specialties brought about a part read justment. American Cans advance of two points was simultaneous with the publication of record earnings. Beth lehem Steel was almost the only rec ognized war stock to hold back, losing 15 points. Trading became more ir- regular toward noon on selling of shippings. Bonds were lower on fur ther declines in foreign issues. Gov ernment bonds also made light con- sessions, presumably in anticipation of a new issue for emergency purposes.

Prince George of Denmark when she was nineteen, Anne ascended the throne of Great Britain and Ireland at the age of thirty weight. Weak in character, she was governed first by Marlborough and lhis wife, and after wards by Mrs. Masham. Although she gave birth to thirteen children, not one survived to claim the throne on her death in 1714. As asresult the British crown passed to the Elector of the German state of Hanover, who thus became George I. of Great Brit ain, and founded the present dynasty. The reign of Queen Anf.s was distin- guished not only by many memorable successes of the British arms, but also by the number of great writers, in cluding Pope, Swift and Addison, who flourished at that period.

FRENCH ROYALISTS

Whatever else it may accomplish
 this war will almost certainly prove
 the death blow of the royalist move
 ment in France. Up to the time that thesTeutons invaded France, the roy
 alists and the imperialists continued to carry on/a half hearted propagan-
 da. With ''Ia patrie" threatened. by the arch enemy, political divisions were forgotten, and the royalist move ment collapsed completely. Only the complete defeat of France in this war could revive royalist sentiment in France The nobles who formerly held aloof from all republican activi- ties, and supported the royalist or Bonapartist movements, were among the first to offer their services to the
 republic, and many of them have been killed or wounded. Two royal ist scions, Prince Sixtus and Prince Xavier of Bourbon, have acted as stretcher bearers in the ambulance service, and have been awarded the Croix Militaire of the republic. Prince Gaston of Orleans enlisted as a private, and, because of his advanc- ed years, was given the task of pa trolling a railway track. Among the dead honored by France are several scions of princely and ducal houses, including the Duke of Rohan. the Duke of Lorge, the Duke of Aren- burg, Prince Henri of Polignac, the Duke of Lesparre, and many others. Several of the descendants of the no bles created by Napoleon, staunch Bonapartists all, are serving in~ the army. The head of the French roy alists, Philippe, Duke of Orleans, will pass his forty eighth milestone to- day, having been born Feb. 6, 1869. He has not been permitted to enter the French army, the laws of the re- public prohibiting such service by a pretender of the throne, and all of Frances allies have refused his prof, fered sword. The Duke has been mo- torious for his affairs with women and for his absolute conduct generally, and has thus served the republic by causing the French people to view with disgust and derision the chief of royalist party.

CAPRIv|

Since Bismarck became the first chancellor of the German Empire in 1871, only four other men have held that important post The successor of the Iron Chancellor, whose long reign came to an end in 1890, was Count George Leo von Caprivi de Caprere de Monte -Cucculi, who was born in Charlottenburg, Prussia, in 1881, and died eighteen years ago today, Feb. 6, 1899. As chancellor of the empire, Bismarck was the real ruler of Germany up to the accession to the throne of the present Kaiser in 1888. William II. had no sooner placed the crown upon his head than he began to resent the situation, so long accepted, which gave to Bis marck greater powers than were wielded by the monarch himself. William wanted to be his own chan cellor, with a figurehead bearing the name, and since the temper of the veteran statesman, never mild, had become even more violent with suc- cess and years, friction soon develop ed. The crisis came in 1890,s when the young ruler demanded Bismarck's resignation. Caprivi, an army vet eran, was appointed to the post va
 
 Prussian army in 1849, he had fought in the Austrian and Franco-Prussian wars, and later had held high com mands in the army. His selection as chancellor gave early indication that the Emperor's chief concern was his army, and his elevation to nominal leadership of a man whose career had been almost wholly military was vide ly criticised in GeAmany. Caprivi was made count in 1891, and held the post of chancellor until 1894, when he resigned. General Caprivi, from first. to last, loyalty carried out all the orders of his imperial master A commercial treaty which he made with Russia aroused the hostility of the Junkers, and forced his retire ment. Prince HeiieHiesse wss ais successor, holding the chancellorship until 1900, when Count von Buelow, a skillful diplomat and parliamentarian, took up the duties. Buelow gave way to .Dr. Won Bethmann-Hollweg, the present chancellor in 1909.
