In March, 1906. having increased his
fortune TO the estimated sum of $1,000

was his valedictory.

A few days before sailing Van wyck
married Kate E Hertle. an attractive
woman, who in 1905 had divorced her
husband. John C. Hertle. Commissioner
Of Accounts under Mayors Van Wyck
and Mcclellan. When the pair returned
from Europe there was another dinner
at the National Democratic Club, at
which the late Senator Thomas F.. Grady
said:

time, thorough fajthfulness to the men
who had voted and WORKED for him. We
will never think that the ex-Mayor has
finished his public career until he is
elevated to the highest place in tho gift
OF the Democratic party of the State"
James A. O'Gorman quoted Richard
Croker as having called Van Wyck 1.-THE
most loyal Mayor the city ever had or
viii have"
Presently Mr.. and Mrs. Van WICK
went to Paris again and continued to
spend most OF their time there. living
at the Hotel Continental. In his last
years the former Mayor devoted much
time to war work.
On his personal side. despite shortness
OF temper that often irrltated persons
who visited his office, Mr.. Van Wyck
had many attractive qualities. Not the
least OF these was his heedlessness OF
physical danger. 1t was In 1898 that he
dashed from the sidewalk into the mid

horse with one hand and with the other

It was just fifty-five minutes when
Adam Forepaugh sent word to close
down the wagon as there was not
even standing room inside.
While there were several specula-
tors on the outside with satchels sell
ing tickets at so cents to avoid the
rush at the wagon, yet it was at the

What has the liberty loan TO do
with the show business? Only this:
If the loan fails everything else will
fail with it. All BUSINESS would
eventually be Frustrated; nothing
could thrive.
1t is the business of everyone in
the show business as we'll as in every
other line of endeavor to see that the
liberty loan does not fail. Show peo-
pie should buy liberty bonds; they
should encourage and assist others to
buy them.
The welfare, the success, the pros
perity, the liberty and the happiness
of every true American is bound up
in the nations success. We are not
fighting alone for material interest,
for annexations or indemnities We
are fighting for freedom and justice
and humanity and civilization.
1t is patriotic and duty to buy
liberty bonds. 1t is also good bust
ness to do it.

Uncle Harry Tells AbOut the Kaiser.
Bulgaria and tfe Berlin-tO-Bagdad Dream

"NOw | think you'll understand the
situation BETTER" said Uncle Harry.
From the beginning OF the war one
Of Germany's main objects has been
TO gain control, either directly or in
directly, of all territory stretching
from the North Sea to Constantinople.
This territory was to constitute prac-
tically one vast empire, great deal
Of which would be owned by Germany,
and the remainder TO be part Of sub
iect countries or nations with which
she was allied; and TO be allied with
Germany under the Kaiser means just
about the same as being subject to
him and his government. Well, AUS
beginning. Early in the war the Aus
trian and German armies invaded Ser
bia, here" and Uncle Harry pointed to
the map. "Thcn Germany persuaded
Turkey and Bulgaria to join the Cen
trail Powers, and thus you see, the Kai-
ser had a straight stretch Of territory
from the North Sea to the Black Sea
particularly after Rumania made peace
with Germany, and to the Straits Of the
Dardanelles, and had full control Of the
great railway from Berlin TO Bagdad,
over here in Asiatic Turkey, or Mesopo-
tamia, as that part Of Turkey is call
ed" and Uncle Harry turned a few
pages Of the geography to Asia and
pointed to Bagdad.
But didn't the British army in MesO-
potamia capture Bagdad some time
ago." asked Jimmy.
Evening journal., 1918-10-23

II guess the Kaiser has changed his
mind: don't you thing so??" said Joe.
About what?" asked Uncle Harry,
and then said: 1.-THE Kaiser has chang
ed his mind a good many times lately
in fact think he has been changing
his mind a great deal ever since the
first few months of tho war. For 1t is
very different world from what II
was in the early summer Of 1914. But
what's the particular subject that you
have in mind, JOe?"
About Bulgaria" replied Joe. "Bul-
garia dropping out of the war spoiled
all the Kaisers plans and hopes for
that great long railway that he was
planning, didn't she?"
"Oh, the Berlin-tO-Bagdad Railway
the direct route from Germany to
India" said Uncle Harry. Yes, think
the Kaiser realizes now that his dream
OF a Great German Empire, stretching
from the North Sea across the middle
OF Europe TO where Asia joins Europe
at COnstantlnople, with a German con-
trOlled and dominated Berlin-to-Bag-
dad railroad is just about as good as a
glass bottle that has been shot at by
one. Of our marines wearing that sill
yer badge across the breast pocket of
his jacket marked 'Sharpshooter.'
Then that means the end Of-what
was it the Kaiser and his followers
called -Pan-Germany, is that cor
rect?" asked Helen.
Yes, that was one Of the Kaiser's
plans for his great Pan-German En-
plre, Helen" said Uncle Harry. "And
I'm glad you brought the subject UP,
Joe, for this is a very interesting. and
one of the most important subjects
connected with the war"
