wherever have been Of late have
Ebeen able, 70 notice it, IN stha early
months Of the war there was bitter
dislike Of the Austrians throughout the
whole empire. chiefly because Of their
alleged incapacity to resist the Rus
sian advance. which to be stemmed in
time required German troops. and espe-
cially German leaders. 1t was cur

Stirred by Emperor's Letter.
Recent events. however. and espe-
cially the publication of Emperor
Charles letter on Alsace-Lorraine, have
brought this feeling to a climax. 1t is
felt that II Germany does not win the
war It will be because of lack of as
sistance Of Austria, and that Austria
will not lose much. although Germany
save Austria whenever that country
was really threatened by Russia,
Serbia, Rumania and Italy. Now Aus
tria has secured peace with Russia,
certain strategic advantages in Ru-
mania and occupies a portion of Italy.
The Germans bitterly resent the fall
ure of Austria to send troops to the
western front, where they might have
done useful work In the recent onen-
sive.
II was told that negotiations had
been carried on with a view to sending
Austrian troops to the west. but the
Austrian government replied that II
could not attempt to do SO without rum
Aovn ~
luton at home. The people considered
that the war was finished, except as to
Italy. Germany could secure the help
only Of Austrian artillery. and. there
fore. decided to make her ally pay
heavily for her treason whenever the
opportunity should arise.
Upholds Peace With Ukraine.
"Now that difficulties are piling up
for Germany in the Ukraine. Berlin Is
again calling for Austrian troops but
Austria refuses to send them. on the
ground that she is at peace with the
Ukraine, and the sending Of Austrian
troops against a nation with which
Austria two months ago solemnly
would mean the tearing up OF that
treaty.
"Germany's bitterness is increased by
the fact that the arrangement between
Berlin and Vienna as to the distribution
of Ukrainian foodstuffs calls for the
sending Of the first shipments to
Austria. A leading bank director said
to me: We are feeding these Danubian
blackguards while we do not get
enough for ourselves That is how
they leave US in the lurch. But never
mind. We shall square up with them
next time and then 1t will be finis for
Austria What now caps the indigna-
ton is that Germany has been asked
to send food as a matter of loan to the
starving population of tho Bohemian

that Germany shall leave these Aus

Unique in Newspaper Field.


Several thousand miles away from his
main newspaper Office, James Gordon
Bennett directed in minute detail the
affairs of the New York Herald and
maintained for himself one OF the most
commanding positions in American
journalism. For more than a quarter
worked simultaneously there and IN
New York No man before him or since
has attempted such long distance edit
ing.
From almost every other angle his po-
sition in the newspaper world was
unique. Upon the death of his father,
who was founder of the Herald. the
younger Bennett, then just past thlrty
years. inherited the largest newspaper
fortune accumulated by any American
it toward achievements to startle the
public and thus redown to the credit of
his newspaper. In many instances these
achievements became important items
in the worlds history.
Such was the policy he inaugurated
when, as managing editor in 1870, he
ordered Henry NJ Stanley into the
heart of Africa to find Livingstone;
such when he sent the ill-fated jean
cite expedition to discover the nortn
of the commercial cable-all typical
instances Of enterprise to make news
or further its transmission.
In contrast to the personal Journal
ism Of the elder Bennett and Greeley
type, the younger Bennett was one OF
the first to sound the impersonal note.
When Mr.. Bennett moved to Paris in
1887 he started the Paris edition of the
New York Herald. During this resi-
dence abroad, broken only by the un-
expected arrival of the Bennett yacht
in New York harbor once every two or
three years for short stop, the editors
in immediate control of the New York
Herald kept a chair at their confer
ence table always vacant for the alb
sent editor, one of his own ideas to
keep his men imbued with the spirit
that he was "boss." although several
thousand miles away.
Man of Peculiar Whims.
His whims. amounting. his critics
say. to eccentricities, were one of the
alfty. 1t is related that he dismissed
a musical critic simply because "he
was such funny-1ooking man." and
put the financial editor in his place;
pit of Mr.. Benefits stomach in the
Herald Office received several dollars
reward for his unusual haste. These
and many instances like them were ira
ditions of Herald employees.
He was assailed for many years for
the personal" advertisements which
were once an unrestrained feature of
his paper. In 1907 he bowed to the law
with payment Of fine Of $4,000. when
the court characterized the Herald per-
sonals as "a public stencil"
Mr.. Bennett was born in New York
city May 10, 1841. When seventy three
years old, in 1914, he married in Paris
the Baroness de Reuter-, widow of
George julius de Reuter-. son Of the
founder Of Reuters. Limited. a British
news service. The baroness
was then about forty years old and the
mother of two children. She was for
merly an American, Maud Potter.
daughter Of John Potter of Philadel-
phia. On the day before his marriage
Mr.. Bennett was baptized in the Epis-
copal church.

"All this has caused widespread anger
throughout Germany not only In pri-

in the diplomatic world. and the wish
