following letter of coincidence sent to

son Feigl. killed in action in France.
March 21:

"Just few days before his death

from him, as l did from other Amer
lean officers with whom I conyersed.
the splendid spirit of confidence and
courage with which the American army
IS inspired. He was in all respects
the type and eXemplar of the best in

Must Have Divorce
To Obtain Legacy

An unusual situation is created by
the will of julius Miller, which was
filed in the Surrogates' Court yester-
day. Under it's terms his daughter,
Mrs. Sadie Klein, cannot collect the
legacy of $4,000 in cash and one-sixth
of the residuary estate so long as her
husband, Emanuel Klein, lawyer, does
not make it possible for her to obtain Il
divorce.
Mr.. Miller made the legacy for Mrs.
Klein conditional on her obtaining a
divorce from Klein and remarrying.
Four years ago Mrs. Klein obtained a
decree of separation in the Supreme
Court, but apparently this did not sat
isfy Mr.. Miller, for the will, with it's
unusual provision, was executed eleven
months after the separation was
granted. There was much bitterness
shown on both sides at the trial Of the
case that gave Mrs. Klein the separa-
ton. They denounced each other in no
mild terms. On the other hand, il
Klein adheres TO the narrow path that
husband his wife will be deprived Of
her inheritance.
Mr.. Miller provided that his three
other daughters are to be deprived Of
the legacies provided for them unless
they marry, or if they marry a person
not of their faith. Only one of these
daughters, Miss May Miller, is still
single. She is to receive $1,000 and
one-sixth of the residuary estate if she
meets her fathers wish Mrs. Lena
Miller, widow Of the testator, receives
onc-third of the residuary estate. The
estate is valued at more than 100000

City Hospitals for Troops
Two Institutions To Be Turned
Over TO Government

Plans we're made for the Federal
government to take over the Sea View
Hospital on Staten Island and the
Otisville Sanatorium at Otisville, both
city institutions. at conference yes
terday between Mayor Hylan and gov
ernment representatives. AS the ne
cessity arises other hospitals may come
under Federal control. Both. wounded
soldiers and city patients will be re-
ceived in the institutions.
Grover Whalen, the Mayors secre-
tary, said it was the intention of the
government to make extensive improve
ments in the two hospitals. One of
the first steps, Mr.. Whalen said, would
be the investment of about $450,000
in additional wards and beds. Other
sums will be invested as emergencies
arise. After the government has fin
ished with the institutions the city will
acquire all the improvements without
cost. 1t is understood the government
will pay the city a fixed sum a day
for each government patient cared for.

The question of whether the Cunard

the Lusitania is looming up as the
principal issue in the company's mo-
ton to limit its liability. It was es-
tablished yesterday, at the hearing in
the Admiralty branch Of the United
States District Cuort. that the liner
carried no guns or munitions when
torpedoed.
Frederick Gauntlet, q passenger.

EFFECTS OF NOTED BATTLES
Probable Results II Outcome Had Been
Different, Explained In Book by
English Writer Years AGO.

About go years ago an English
writer, Sir Edward Greasy, published a
book which he called "The Fifteen De-
cisive Battles of the World" His pur-
pose was to describe those great mill
tary events which have had the great
est influence upon human history.
Each battle described, had Il re-
suited differently, would have COM
pletely changed the course Of civiliza-
ton, says the Worlds Work. Had
Charles Martel not have won the bat
tie Of Tours, for example, the whole of
Europe, and that means also North
and South America, would very likely
have become Mohammedan in religion.
Perhaps the Interpretation of the
Koran" says Gibbon, describing the
consequences of this battle, "would
now be taught In the schools of Ok
ford and her pupils might demonstrate
to the English people the truth Of the
revelation of Mohamet."
Fen of Creasy's epochal battles have
been fought since the beginning of the
Christian era. Four Of them represent
victories which were won on French
soil-the battle Of Chalons, A. d. 451 /;
the battle Of Tours, 1872; Joan Of Arcs
victory at Orleans, 1929, and the battle
of Valmy, in 1902. Another was O
great French victory won on English
soil-the battle of Hastings In 1865.
Two others-the battle 'of Blenheim,
In 1704, and the battle Of Waterloo in
1S16-were great French defeats. 1t
appears, therefore, that Of the ten
most decisive battles fought In the
Christian era FIVE were great French
victories and two were French defeats.
No other nation has any such military
history as this. This mere record In
dicates the part which France has
played in advancing civilization. So
far as Europe is concerned the great
hfe6 pssss Sn French soii. 1t this
time, when the democratic nations
have Joined hands to deliver France
from the cowardly attack which Ger
many has made upon her. 1t Is well to
keep this fact in mind.
