CATHERINE OF BRAGANZA

Catherine OF BraganZa, the wife OF
Charles II of England, began life I'M
der the most favorable auspices and
had every reason to believe that hap
piness would be hers to the end of
her days. But her life at the Eng
lish court was miserable indeed. She
was born on Nov. rs, 1888, and at
, the age of. twenty-four was married
to Charles II. She arrived at Ports
mouth in May 1862, where Charles
was waoiting to receive her. The
marriage ceremony was performed
privately by the Archbishop of Can
lterbury and also a second time, with
greater secrecy, according to the Ro-
! man Catholic ritual. Catherine was
well liked by her new subjects. Her
father had arranged the marriage for
! her, needing Charles as an ally. She
had not been installed very long be-
/ fore Charles's conduct toward her
changed from amiabi1ity to complete
Indifference. which she had to en-
/ dure for twenty-five years. Embit-
tered, she learned to endure Charles

sacrifice her self-respect, and she
made confidants of her husbands

about masked, and came into houses
unknown, and danced there with

BOLIVIA'S DAY

Today is independence day in Be-
livia, that hermit republic which is
still a terra incognita to many globe
trotters who claim to know their
South America. The highest country
in the world, and, until recent years,
the most remote of quasi-civilized ma
tons, has already been penetrated by
railroads and will soon be traversed
by a transcontinental line extending
from Lima, Peru, on the Pacific, to
Buenos Ayres, Argentina, on the At
lantic.N
The principal part of Bolivia is a
vast plateau, at an average altitude OF
$4,000 feet above sea level. Lake Titi-
caca, the highest navigable body of
water in the world, has a fleet of
steamboats,, every part of which was
brought up from the coast on the
backs of Indians. Bolivia's popula-
ton is nine-tenths aboriginal, and the
various tribes range from "the meek
est and most servile people in the
world" to the hardest and most war
like The latter are a stalwart race.
as may be judged from the fact, tina
in Suore. the de jure capital. there
are many grand pianos which were
carried 900 miles, and over vast
mountain ranges, by these human
burden carriers. The local piano
mover who is inclined to complain
over his hard lot should be thank
full that he was not born in Bolivia.
Bolivia became independent. on Aug.
6, 1925, and the country was named
in honor of Simon Bolivar, the lib
orator, while the capital, Suore, was
given the name of his principal lieu
tenant. The province of Antefagasta,
bordering on the Pacific and rich in
nitrates, was lost to Bolivia in 1884,
as the result of the unfortunate war
with Chile.

WAR DECIDED ON
AT CONFERENCE,
SAYS EINSTEIN
German Ambassador Admit.
ted Archduke's Murder
Only a Pretext.


London, August 6.-Louis Einstein,
former special agent. of the American
embassy in Constantinople, writes to
the Times supporting the story of the
German conference on July S, 1914,
preceding the declaration of war. He
says that Marquis Garroni. the Ital-
ian ambassador in Constantinople,
told him that on July Is the German
ambassador, Wangenheim, who had
returned to Constantinople from Ber-
lin the pfeNIoNs day. informed him of
tie conf&Ten at which Herr Wan
genheim himself was present. and
that the war was decided on at the
eonference. The Austrian archduke's
murder was to be the pretext and the
plan was to present an ultimatum to
Serbia which she could not accept
and from which war would ensue in
i48 hours.

GOTCH HAD GREAT
WRESTLING BOUT
AGAINST M'LEOD

One of the hardest tussles in the
career of Frank Gotch, champion mat
artist, was the one in which he was
matched against Dan Mcleod at Van
couver, B. C..,just 1S years ago today
Aug 6, 1904. The Iowa 'rube" had
triumphed over Tom Jenkins, Jim
Parr, Farmer Burns and others, and
stood at the top of the heap in the
wrestling game. There was just one
weak point in his record that had not
been wiped out by victory, and that
was his defeat by Dan Mcleod at
Luvere, Ia, in 1899. 1t is true that
when Frank first met Mcleod he was
a novice and was defeated only after
the hardest kind of struggle on the
part of Mcleod.
The latter even said that Gotch had
given him the hardest rub of his ca
Frank would be a world-beater. It
was a different Gotch who faced Dan
in the arena on that August day in
1904 He was champion. supremely
confident and trained to the minute.
A big crowd had gathered at Van
couver and Mcleod was the favorite.

in British Columbia, before he took
to the mat. Scores OF his old friends
of the mining days cheered Dan as
/ he entered the arena and they backed
him to the limit with their money.
At that, they came mighty near
winning, and Gotch had a narrow es-
cape from losing his new crown. No
more sensational mat battle was ever
witnessed. The first encounter was
hair raising from start to finish. Nc
Leod sent the Iowan man down in a
minute or two. and repeated little
later, while the miners almost took
the roof off with their cheers. Fight
| ing like Roman gladiators who had
| their lives at stake, the men wrestled
| on for a little more than half an hour,
| when the champion found his shoul-
| ders pinned to the mat, and Dan
arose to receive the plaudits of the
crowd, and the crowd was not stingy
/ with applause, either. When Nc
| Leod came up for the second$ bout,
! however, he seemed trff1e shaky.
! Dan was an old-timer at the wrest-
ling game and, compared with Getch,
an old man. Youth had to be served,
/ and although the veteran worked
with all his might and skill, and al
most came near to pinning Gotch to

easy for Gotc1I. Mcleod being worn

Armenian Relief
Work Continues
Under Adversely

More than four hundred thousand
dollars was sent abroad last week to
be distributed by agents of the Amer
lean Committee for Armenian and
Syrian Relief in those parts of the
Near East where suffering and desti-
tuition is greatest. A like amount, or
one slightly larger will be sent during
August If sufficient money is received.
The plan which has been success
fully followed SO far ds to cable money
to accredited representatives of the
committee who are working in the
larger towns Of various districts like
the Russian Caucasus, Persia and
Asia Minor. From such central points
the money is distributed according to
local needs.
An interesting sum Of money which
the committee expects to send to Bel
rut during August for distribution is
$4,000 received from the sale of
the cargo of the Caesar, relief ship
sent abroad last Christmas, and fore
ed by political conditions to discharge
her cargo at Alexandria.

States into the war has altered some
