Caesar Ritz, Hotel
Founder, Dies Abroad

Casar Ritz, founder of the Ritz Carl
ton Hotel Corporation and probably the
best known hotel organizer in the
world, died on Monday in a sanatorium
IN Lucerne, Switzerland. News of his
death was received last night at the
Ritz-Carlton Hotel in this city in
message from his son, Charles, twenty
seven years old, private in an army
training camp in Wheeling, West Va.
Mrs. Ritz, the widow, went from
Paris to Luzerne to take the body to
the French capital
Caesar Ritz was born in Switzerland
seventy years ago. He founded the cor
poration which bears his name about
twenty-five years ago. Because of the
success of the Ritz of London, he es-
tablished chain of hotels. which in
clude the Ritz histleries in this city,
Philadelphia, London, Paris and Buenos

Ten or twelve years ago Mr. Ritz

went into service, equipping those YES
sells with Ritz Carlton restaurants. Mr..
Ritz had a theory that the traveller of
wealth is aversc to eating at regular
hours aboard ship and is loath to par
take Of the ships table d'hote. This
theory was proved by the success of
these restaurants. They were put on

Defence Society
Opposes Hun Toys,
Even for Children
Principles More Important
Than Temporary Happi-
ness, Says r. M. Hurd

Richard NJ. Hurd, cheirman of the
boycott committee of the American De-
fence Society, protested yesterday
against the suggestion that owners Of
the German-made toys which recently
arrived in this country remove the
Made IN Germany" trademark and give
them to various orphan asylums. A
formal statement given out by Mr.. Hurd
reads:
The first objection to this sugges-
ttlon is that to remove the mark show
ing the country of origin is illegal.
The second objection IS that the firms
which own them wish to get their
money back and are n t willing to give
the toys up without teing reimbursed.
"Prlnclples are more important than
the temporary happiness of individuals.
The fundamental principle that Ger
man goods shall not be brought into
this country and sold at a profit is
backed up by public opinion and should
and will be established, even though
some merchants lose money.
"Out of ten consignees, Butler
Brothers were the only ones sufficient
ly patriotic to refuse to take possession
of the German made goods consigned
to them"
Miss Elisabeth Marbury, president of
the women's national committee of the
American Defence Society, commented
on the interest manifested in the drive
against the German toys. Letters have
come to headquarters of the American
Defence Society from all over the coun-
try, said Miss Marbury, commencing
