GEORGE w. WICKERSHAM.

George Woodward Wickersham,
 former Attorney ey-Genera1 of the
 United States, trust-buster and cor
 poration slayer, will today celebrate
 his 59th birthday. Pittsburgh, the
 city of smoke and scandal and multi
 millionaires, was the birthplace of
 the former head of Uncle Sans legal |department, and the date was Sept. |:19, 1858.
 In his youth George Woodward had
 a taste for engineering, and he studied
 that profession at Lehfgh University.
 Wisely he changed his taste and took
 up law instead, graduating from the
 University of Pennsylvania with the class, of 'S0. He hung out his shingle in Philadelphia, but in two years de- cided that things looked better Tn New York, and so he packed his trunk and moved there. His rise was rapid, and in 1887 he was admitted to the law firm of Strong & Cadwalader. In those days corporations and million ares were the clients of this concern, and the Wickersham practice was with men to whom ."God has instrust- ed the property interests of the world.'' Henry Taft, brother of former President Taft, was also member of this firm, and this faet
 
 may have had something to do. with the cabinet appointment given in 1909 to Samuel George Woodward Wicker sham-for originally there was Samuel attached to the front end or his name His income as a member of the law firm above mentioned is said to have been over hundred thousand dollars a year. MT. Wick ersham, before he entered the service of the government, was one Of the most exclusive of personages. He dis liked publicity and such reporters as have been able to see him and get a word out of him afe going to be stuff ed when they die and preserved in a museum. Mr. Wickersham is a stu dent of literature, especially that Of Spain, and can carry on converse
 ton in four or five languages. Finally
 he is responsible for the assertion
 that Dante is greater. than Shakes
 peare.

Today's Anniversaries

The battle of Boictiers, between Edward the Black Prince, son of Ed ward H., of England, and King John or France, was fought on Sept. 19, 1856, and was won by the British who were greatly outnumbered. The French had sixty thousand horse,. in addition to foot soldiers. The English force was not over ten thousand in all, its retreat was cut off, and es- cape seemed impossible. Yet by a bold attack the French were dispers- ed, thousands of their knights and nobles slain, and their king taken prisoner and brought to London. Dur ing the week ending Sept. 19, 1865, the great plague of London reached it's height, more than. ten thousand persons dying. Considerably more than 100000 died during the whole period of the plague. The city was in a dreadful state, the dead being so numerous in comparison with the whole population that it was hardly possible to bury them. President Gar
 field died on Sept. 19, 1881. He had i been shot at Washington on July Z i by Charles J. Guiteau, a disappointed
 office-seeker, and lay in a gradually
 sinking state, the sympathies of the
 whole country being aroused by his
 suffering, patience and courage. Or Sept. 6 he was removed from Wash.
 ington to Hebron, N. J., in the hope that the pure sea-air would help him
 Here he died on the nineteenth.

ROTHsCHILD HOUSE.

The founder of the great interna- tional banking house of Rothschild was Mayer AnseIm, who died in the ghetto of Frankfort-on-the Main, Germany, 105 years ago today. He was the son of Anse1m Moses Bauer, a small Jewish merchant of Frank fort. His father wished Mayer An selrm to become a rabbi, but he pre- ferred business, and set up as a money lender in the Judengasse of Frankfort. His business sign, was a "rothschild'' or red shield, and this in the course of, time became his legal name. He branched out and his bus mess grew to such an extent that he was entrusted with the flotation of several government loans, and left a considerable fortune at his death to be divided between his 10 children, five sons and five daughters. One of the sons remained in Frankfort, and the others established branches of the house of Rothschild in London, Vienna, Paris and Naples. On his death bed old Mayer Anselm admon- ished his five stalwart sons to con tihue faithful to his religon of IsreaI: to remain united to the end: to inter marry with members of their own family, and to obey their mother in things. Observe these rules, he whispered, and you will become the wealthiest and most powerful of men, and the world will belong to you" His sons and their descendants have with rare exceptions, followed this advice, and the prediction of Mayer Anselm's mundane valedictory has been more than fulfilled.

RED CROSSES TO PROVIDE UNITS
 AT NEW CAMPS
Appropriations for Norfolk Aver, Atlanta and Chil
 licothe Total $50,0OO

Washington, Sept. 19-Appropria- tions to establish Red Cross Sanitary Units for the protection of health in districts surrounding four more army cantonments were announced by the Red Cross War Council. Twelve cities have now requested the coop eration of the Red Cross in taking measures to prevent the spread of dis ease or epidemics, and in making the communities surrounding the camps safe for the soldiers The total amount now appropriated to begin this work is $106.000.
 The four latest cities to receive Red Cross aid in sanitation are: Newport News, Va; Aver, Mass; Atlanta, Ga., and Chillicothe, Ohio.
 At Newport News large shipyards and an aviation school make the pro- lection of the health of the inhabi- tants particularly important. To be- gin the work here, 900 has been set aside.
 Three public health nurses have been assigned to Aver, Mass, for which $5,O00 is provided. They will work with the Massachusetts State Health Department, whish has al- ready established a very ef1ciept or- ganization,. for taking sanitary meas ures around the cantonement nearby. Eradication of misunderstanding mosquitoes will be one of the prob lens of the unit which will operate around Camp Gordon at Atlanta. It is to aid the personnel of the local or ganization. This unit. to be known as No. II, has an appropriation of $14,00O. The twelfth unit is designed for Chillicothe, Ohio, and will asign a basteriologist to work sin co-opera- tion with the Ohio State Board of Health. It will include also several sanitary inspectors and two Public Health nurses to support the existing health organization. The appropriation 1 here is $10,000.
 l All these Sanitary Units of the Red Cross are to be placed at the disposal of the Public Health Service and State and County health authorities. l Under their direction they will assist | in the sanitation of districts around
 cantopements and army communities Specifically, they will aid consti-
 tut9d officials in insuring the purity
 of milk and water supplies, and in 1 cleaning up unsanitary places near
 the camps which might be dangerous as germ incubators. The sanitary re- gulation, in cooperation with the
 sanitary officers of the army.
 In addition to the twelve Sanitary Units now authorized by the Red Cross to help protect army camp com | munities from disease, the Red Cross
 has recently prepared to equip five
 laboratory railroad cars, for emer-
 gency work. These are to be stationed
 that any cantonement can be reached within a few hours from receipt of re- quest from federal or state health 1 authorities.

.:CHIOMARA.

Chiomara was the heroic wife of Ortiagoq, a Gaulish prince and is eel ebrated for Iher beauty and chastity. During the war between the Romans and the Gauls, B. c. 186, the latter were entirely defeated at Mount Olyn- pus. Chiomara, among many other ladies' was taken prisoner and com mitted to the charge of centurion. The latter, not being able to over come her chastity by persuasion, em- ployed and then to make amends, offered her liberty for a cer- tain amount of gold. To conceal his design from other Romans, he allow ed her to send a slave of her own, who had also been taken prisoner, to her relations and assigned a place near the river. where she could be ex- changed for the. gold. She was car ried to the spot on the next night by the centurion. Two of her relatives were already waiting with the ran som. While the centurion was weigh ing the gold Chiomara, speaking in friends to kill him, which they did She then, with her own, hands cut off his head and carried it under her robe to her husband. As soon as she came into his presence she threw the head at his feet. Surprised at such a sight, as he might we'll be, he de- fnanded to know whose head, it was and what had induced her to commit a deed so uncommon to her sex. Blush ing, but at. the same time expressing fierce indignation, she explained the outrage that had been done to her and the Revenge she had taken. Dur ing the remainder of her life she re- tained her puriAy and was treated with great esteem.

Mother And Son Fight With Father
 In French Ranks

Paris, Sept. 19.-A landowner of Vergeze has received the following letter, from bis son. a staff captain:
 T heard a strange story today, that a woman and a boy/ of sixteen had been found among the men of the battalion of unmounted chasseurs. An investigation was made and, they were found to be the; wife and the son of a chasseur who had determined not to be separated from him. Both went into the trenches with the other poilus, and the most striking tHing about 1t is that they had been with the battalion for five months before the authorities found out. Of course; everyhodN inx the battalion knew but as you see the secret was we'll kept.

BERLIN HOTEL GUESTS
 ..v .-.sse AND THEIR SHOES

If any further sign were needed that Germany is cracking under the strain'' the fact that the time-honored custom among hotel guests in Ger many of depositing their shoes out side their doors at night is about to be abolished ought Nto prove some thing. Formerly you could look up the corridor and solid ranks of shoes cf all shapes and sizes met your eye. The porter, sometime during the night would gather them. up, polish them, and return them to your door
 -unless. of course, he gave your shoes to somebody else, which. he us- niiv did. Now, however. footwear is thieves are not making off with the precious leather footgear. Therefore hotel guests are keeping their shoes indors at-'night, perhaps even putting them under the pillow. For, if a man loses his shoes in the Kaiser's dorniRions these days. hes must-ge to the Imperfa Clothing Bureau for an. other pair. and before he can get eKem he must show his old shoes. Which is quite impossible when your shoes have been stolen. Therefore the precaution and the falling into disuse of the time honored custom.
