SIR DOUGLAS HAIG.

Field Marshal, General Sir Douglas Haig, the commander-in-c of the British forces in France and Bel giun, will celebrate today his fifty seventh birthday, as he was born on June 19, 1861. Youngest of all gen. erals to be entrusted with a com mand in the present war, and prac- tically unknown outside of the mili- tary circles until the exploits which won for him the title of Hero of Mons," Haig attained his present height by sheer merit. Haig is a Scotchman and a native of Fifeshire. He was educated at Oxford and en- tered the army with the 7th Hussars in 1885. When he sought to join the staff college he was rejected by the medical examiners because he was color blind. The young Scotchman didn't permit little obstacle like that to discourage him, and at last he got his case before the commander in-chief himself and convinced him of the slightness of his infirTnity. Be- fore the war Sir Douglas Haig had never commanded in action anything larger than @ regiment, but at the Aisne he commanded a corps, and he is now the head of an army of mill lions. Sir Douglas has long been a favorite of royalty, and the late King Edward as well as the present mon arch had great liking for the quiet, stern man from the north. Sir Doug las married, after a whirlwind court ship, Miss Dorothy Vivian, maid of honor to Queen Alexandra, and King Edward and the Queen attended the ceremony, which was performed, by special dispensation, in Buckingham Palace. Gen. Haig has fought val iantly in Egypt and South Africa, and spent many years in India

 According to the authorities the pair belong to a gang of vicious young Italians who infest poolrooms, street corners, jitney stands. They have no visible means of support and refuse to work. They are under draft age and make it a practice to ogle and insult women who pass them while grouped at corners or along the curb.
 When Detective Washburn arrested Sleo, Mason tried to prevent him, and shouted that he could lick any cop on the force. He continued in sulting the policeman as he was being taken to the box where the wagon was rung for and dared the officer to fight him.
 Fully a dozen witnesses appeared in court to testify in favor of Washburn and to tell of the great forbearance and patience he displayed in handling the hoodlum.

One of the original wilson Men"
 was William Cox Redffeld, and, all
 though he had only a local reputa-
 tion at the time President Wilson ap-

 family, with the portfolio of Secre- tary of Commerce, he had been very
 influential in bringing about the first nomiation and election of the present chief executiveof the United States
 The head of Uncle Sans Commerce Department was born in Albany, N.
 Y, sixty years ago today and re- ceived his education in Pittsfeld, Mass. Later he settled in Brooklyn, and as manufacturer attained prominence in that city. He early entered the political arena and in 1902 held his first public job as Brook lyn commissioner of public works. Later he was elected to Congress from a Brooklyn district, as can-
 didate of the Democratic and Inde- pendence League parties, and among the Solons he soon gained a reputa- ton as a man of parts, whose words | were well worth needing. As member of Congress MT. Redf1eld was an enthusiastic advocate of 8 | downward tariff revision, especially l on foodstuffs and the necessities of | life. When Woodrow Wilson left Princeton to enter politics, MT. Red | field was along the first of his SUD- porters in New York state, and help
 ed in the launching of the Wilson presidential boom. Before his ele-
