ably next Tuesday, banished by this
Government because of HIS govern

born woman, will be exiled with him
The Countess was Miss Jeanne

German parents When she welded
tho Teuton diplomat she took the citi-
zenship OF her husband.
The embassy staff has about COM
pleted all arrangements for leaving.
probably some time Sunday. Whether
a special train will be chartered or
merely two special cars coupled on
regular train had not been deter
mined this afternoon
Goods At tho embassy are ali pack
ed. most OF the papers and documents
which the Swiss Minister will need
as the representative OF Germany
here has been transferred 10 the
Swiss legation. Several dozen pho
tographs- necessary adiuncts TO issu-
ance OF pasports-have been taken.
Each member OF the 200 or more
Germans who sail on the Frederick
VIII must have four photographs
taken, as IN the case with all appli
cants for passports.
The Frederick VIII. by stopping at
Halifax for inspection, probably will
not have to stop after that before ar
irving at her Scandinavian destina-
ton. Her route as now planned Is
the northern lane outside the north
OF Scotland. Thus she will avoid
practically all the British mine fields

Introducing Charles Mccourt, the

OF the world.
A player Of the old order. yet one
OF the youngest In the game, McCourt,
depends upon brilliant play to win
matches instead OF playing EN- safe
and trying 10 keep the other fellow
from making them
McCourt is known to billiardists as
the most brilliant player OF a decade
and his style at times seems almost
reckless.
But II was due TO this seeming
recklessness that the spectacular
youngster was able to wrest the
championship from George Moore,
whose success at the game has been

In the first round OF their title

leaving impossible shots which wor-

In the next two rounds McCourt's
wizardy over the balls returned and
he recovered lost ground and won
handily.
McCourt plays rapidly, something
Unusual in three-cushion player

working with guns Of from $50 to 400

fire.
The American artillerymen today
watched the French operate the great

shaking the houses in the territory and
being heard at distance OF many

Des Moines, Dec. Ex-Governor w.
L. Harding announced today that he
may call a special session of the Iowa
legislature, probably in January, to
consider matters arising from the war.
Mr.. Harding said he was sending quer-
les to all legislators and II they favored
session for war legislation" only the
session would be called.
Matters to be considered would in
clude appropriations for the state
board of control and legislation giving
legal power to the state council OF de-
fense.
Governor Harding said that in his
letters to members OF the thirty-sev-
enth general assembly he emphasized
that if there is a tendency to consider
general legislation the session will not
be called. He estimated that the cost
would average about $4,000 day and
the session would not necessarily con-
tlnue over ten or twelve days.
I'VE must have definite and positive
authority to meet the problems grew
ing out Of the war" the governor said.
There are SO many economic condi-
tions resulting that can NOT 1c met VIII:
the power we row have.
'sThe state will be able to save uoney
enough thru the legislation enacted to
pay for the session.
