To-day is the nineteenth birthday
of Miss Kathryne Frick, the blind,
deaf and dumb girl, who has been a
ward of the state fors the past ten
years at the Pennsylvania Institution
for the Deaf and Dumb, at Mount
Airy. During these ten years Miss
Frick has learned to speak and to
read and write and is developed men,
tally almost as perfectly as normal
girl of the same age. She is the
daughter of Mr. and Mrs. William l..
Frick, IL South Fifteenth street.
Although Miss Frict can under
stand her teachers by reading their
lips with her hands. and can speak
and understand her friends at the
school by the sign language per-
formed on her own palm so she can
feel it, it is still necessary for a
teacher to help her understand
strangers. She will soon be able to
read anyone's lips by feeling them
with her sensitive finger tips.
When asked if she was going to
have birthday. party, Miss Frick
laughed and said, mo, she was too
old for that" Though she may con-
slider herself too old for parties, she
is by no means n back number, and
" hen she was asked what she thought
of the ending of the war, her face
lighted and her words tumbled over
each other as she told how she put
her hand out Of the window and felt
the whistles blowing on peace day.
She jumped up ana down with joy
and waved a handkerchief out of the
window, just as any other girl might
do. She seemed just as interested as
anyone in the fact that the vibrations
made by the noise of the celebration
could be felt and she thought it was
very wonderful.
Miss Frick spent yesterday after
noon reading "Pilgrim's Progress"
with her fingers, and day she will
have her lessons and do her usual
daily tasks. She can use type
writer and sewing machine, and her
education in general knowledge is
constantly progressing. Miss Mabel
Whitman is her teacher. Another
blind ana deaf girl, Grace Pearl, is
her constant companion.

Internment of Mackensen's
10000 Men Is Ordered by
the Hungarian Government

Copenhagen. Dec. 2.-The Hun
garian government has decided to
intern the whole of Field Marshal
Won Mackensen's army of 10000
! men, in accordance with the demand
of the French government, it is re-
ported from Budapest by way of
Berlin.
Won Mackensen has declared that
he will yield to the decision.
Won Mackensen has required a
large army to keep Rumania in sub
lection since his conquest of that
country in October and November
of 1915 When it became apparent
that the surrender of Germany was
imminent, Won Mackensen hastily re-
moved portable booty into Germany,
including 69,000,O00 marks in gold
and stocks of provisions, but when
he sought to withdraw his army he
was blocked by the Hungarians, who
had yielded to Italy before the
armistice with Germany was signed.
The armistice with Italy provided
that Hungarian territory
should not be used for the move
ment of German military forces.
Since that time, Won Mackensen
and German officials have sought to
make arrangements to bring the Ger
man Army of occupation in Ru-
mania through to Germany without
the armament. 1t was reported that
several thousand of his troops had
been disarmed in Hungary and al
lowed to go to Germany before the
demand for the. internment Of his
troops in Hungary was made
Won Mackensen ranked next to
Iudendorff and Won Hindenburg in
military fame in Germany. He is
in his sixty-ninth year. He has the
reputation of being one of the most
ruthless and merciless of German
generals in the discipline of his own
men as we'll as in the treatment of
enemies. Americans who interviewed
him before this country entered the
war reported that his hatred OF the
United States was unbounded.
