PRINCE Won BUE1Ow.

Prince Bernhard Henry Martin
Charles Won Bueiow, former German
Imperial Chancellor and the Kaiser's
ablest diplomat. will be 50 years
old tomorrow. On several occasions
since the outbreak Of the war it has
been rumored that Prince Won Buelow
would aagin become chancellor, but
up to the present his activities were
restricted to attempting. to keep Italy
out of the war, in which he failed.
The Prince was often in hot water
during his reign as chancellor owing
to his diplomatic attempts to restrain
the public utterances of the Kaiser,
and it is said that when they finally
reached the parting of the ways the
Prince and his imperial master were
far from being on friendly terms. The
breach has, however, since been heal
ed
Prince Won Buelow was born in Hol-
stein, and his father was a lieutenant
of State and German Foreign Secre-
tary. The Prince was a lieutenant of
the Royal .Hussars in the Franco
Prussian war, and entered the diplo-
matte service in 1873. He holds the
rank of major general in the Ger
man army today. although he is not
active. After holding various foreign
diplomatic posts he was appointed
Foreign Secretary in 1897, and in 1900
became Imperial Chancellor, a po-
sition he held until 1909. In that
year the budget led to Prince Won
Buelow's resignation, although he had
long been at odds with the Kaiser.

WILL RAISE AS
MANY MILLIONS
As WAR DEMANDS
Daniels Declares u. s. Will
Get AS Many Men AS
Victory Demands.
Is MISTAKE TO LIMIT
NUMBER OF SOLDIERS
Workers Share in Fight AS
Important AS Man in the
Trenches, Says Sec.

Philadelphia, May 2-As many mil
lions as may be needed to win the
war will be sent to the battle front,
Secretary Daniels declared today in
an address to the Philadelphia
Chamber Of Commerce in behalf of
the Third Liberty Loan.
Let US not think in terms Of fixed
numbers" said the secretary. Con
gress has provided the selective draft
and when there are enough ships all
these men will be on the fields of
France. If there are not enough men
between 81 and 81 to win the war,
the age limit will be changed and
men of 40 and SO. if need be, will
respond to the colors."
The secretary indicated that he re-
garded 1t as a great mistake to fix
the number of the army at 100000
as had been suggested, because the
world would take that as the limit of
what America could do. This, he said,
was far from the spirit of the gov
eminent, which was in the war to the
full extent of the resources and man
power of America
Earlier in the day Secretary Dan
iels, speaking to employees Of the
League Island navy yard, asserted
that the kaiser's greatest disappoint-
ment was the failure of German spies
and German propaganda to stir up Ia
Dor trouble in the United States.
Labor in the United States under
stands" continued the secretary, and
understands perhaps better than any
body else that it depends for its life
and progress and future victories
upon overcoming the German autoc-
racy in this war.
"And labor is challenging German
treachery and German money so sue
cessfu1ly that today in most industries
labor is turning out more war lnuni
tons and supplies than ships can
transport across the water"
He also emphasized to the men
that workers share in the fight was
equal to that Of the man in the
trenches or at sea, and he praised the
navy yard employees for their devo-
ton to duty.

Tailored, Semi dress Hats, black and
colored
At no time before this season has
there been such a satisfactory line of
hats.
The ALI Black Hat is an especially
smart affair. It can be worn by any
woman, and when selected and
adapted to her own style it can prob
ably be made more distinctive than
any other hat she can wear
This applies to the severe man
nish Sailors when made by Knox or
Gage, and also to the large picture
hat with its effective hedge Of burnt
ostrich, goose or Yulture feathers.
Leghorn "Flats," Bangkok Sail
ors, and Milan Sailors are in most at
tractive styles.
The millinery is especially inter
esting this week.
