BARON G.L. Won STENCIL

BERLIN, May (via Copenhagen).-
Baron G. L. Won Stengel, eighty-two,
Secretary of the Imperial German
Treasury from 1903 to 1908, is dead.
Baron Won Stengel was one of the
extreme advocates of German lhilitar-
ism and kultur. He was one of the
leading German experts in interna-
tional law and a professor of state and
ecclesiastical law in the University of
Munich. He was one of the German
delegates to the first peace congress
at The Hague in 1899. In an article
in the "Deutsche Revue" in 1910 he at
tackled peace on the grounds of effem-
macy.
During the war Baron Won Stengel
told the Dutch Pacifst League that
neutral nations have only one means
of leading a profitable existence-to
submit to German guidance, which is
superior to all others from every point
of view"

spcctively, of the temporary COM
mittee of the national civilian
soldiers and sailors organization which
has been named tentatively "The Amer
lean Legion" were preparing to-day for
the national caucus, which will open
Thursday.
In announcements concerning the
plans for the new organization, they
emphasized the three chief points as,
that the organization is to be nom
partisan and non-political, that it is to
be civilian, not military, in character,
and that there shall be no distinction
of rank between officers and enlisted
men. The organization is intended
equally for those who served overseas
and those who were not sent to France.
The st. Louis caucus is to be the
counterpart in this country of the
caucus of overseas civilian soldiers
held in Paris March Is. 1t is planned
after most of the men now overseas
shall have returned 70 elect delegates
from every state to national tonven-
ton, which will open November II,
either in St. Louis or in Chicago, and
which will be the first thoroughly rep
resentative body.
Colonels Roosevelt, Clark and Wood
will speak tomorrow night at the ar
mory.
Colonel Clark, who is a son Of
Speaker Champ Clark, said there was
no foundation for published intimations
that he and Colonel Roosevelt were in
volved in any rivalry in connection
with the new organization.
1t became known this morning that
fight had developed over the ques-
tion Of putting the convention on
record for universal military training.
The faction favoring this action is
composed of the Western delegates,
headed by Leslie A. Miller. Wyoming
oil man, who was private in tho
marines. The other faction, of which
Colonel Roosevelt is the head, will con-
tend that matters of policy should not
be settled at this meeting and will
insist that the question go over until
the November session.

LEFT TO THE IMAGINATION
Thackerays Question as to "Never
Was" Speech Would Seem an
Easy One to Answer.

The two great English novelists,
Thackeray and Dickens. although
there was at one time GOODNESS be-
tween them, were generous admirers
of each others genius. They left obi
Gus comparisons to foolish and petty
partisans, of whom there were plenty
in the following of each. But Thack-
cray, according to an anecdOte recent
" related, once admitted to his Ameri-
can friend, the eloquent Congressman
Lamar, little touch of pique concern
ing the public estimation of his own
ability and that of Dickens in minor
art. The two were driving together to
Il banquet of the Literary fund, at
which Dickens, who was an admirable
after-dinner orator. was to preside.
Lamar" said Thackeray, "they say
/ can't speak. But if want to, / can
speak every bit as well as Dickens.
and I'm going to show you tonight
that / can speak almost as well as you
can ~
But when the moment arrived in the
course of the proceedings at which to
make good his assertion, it came, and
passed; and Thackeray uttered never
a word. When the banquet was over
and the friends were returning, both
silent, in their cab, Thackeray turned
suddenly to his companion.
Lamar" he exclaimed, don't you
think you have heard tonight the
greatest speech that ever was never
