EX-HEAD OF GERMAN
NAVY STAFF DIES
Won Hoitzendorff Fell When
U-boots Failed.

Won Holtzendorff. head OF the German
general naval staff during the greater
part OF the war, is dead. according to an
announcement made to-day. He was
retired last August
Prior to the war Admiral Won Holt
zendorn played an important part in the
development OF German naval power.
he was appointed head of the German
naval general stan in September, 1915,
and held the position until August 2,
1918. save for about two months during
the summer of 1916. He was a follower
OF Admiral Won Tirpitz in advocating the
prosecution OF submarine warfare and
predicted that they would starve England
after six months of effort As a result
OF the work of U-boats under his direc-
ton he received the decoration Pour la
Merite early in 1917.
Admiral Won Holtzendorff was retired
and succeeded by Admiral Scheer, owing
to frantic representations by German
army leaders following the entry OF
American troops into the Marine battle
that unless their arrival in France in
such enormous numbers be checked
Germanys hopes of a military victory
were shattered Admiral Won Holtzen-
dorff excused the failure OF the U-boats
tc check transports by saying that dog
ems of bases had been established from
the coast of Scotland to France and that
the troop ships did not run on sched-
ules and were guarded by swift naval
vessels.
The Admiral was born in Berlin in
1853. From 1895 to 1901 he served in
the Adriatic Squadron. He was made a
Rear Admiral in 1904 and Vice-Admiral
in command OF the German High Seas
Fleet in 1907. When the second squad
ron OF the United States North Atlantic
Fleet visited Kiel in 1911 under COM
mand of Admiral Badger. Admiral Won
Holtzendorff was the German commander
there.

With the return of the million men

abundance of first-class material for
scout leadership.
IT will be found that many men
have new vision of life. The splen-

Boy Scouts of America one of the

FIX DUTY ON FLYING PLANE

Puzzle at First.

Washington. - Customs authorities
have encountered the first case of an
airplane imported into the United
States under it's own motive power
An American bought a Canadian
plane, and it was flown across the
border near Detroit. The question then
arose as to whether it is dutiable, par
ticularly since airplanes are not men
toned in any tariff acts.
Customs officials finally decided that
if it remains permanently in the United
States it should be taxed las manu-

cent, and if it flies out of the country
again within six months it will be re-
garded as ION a tour" and will not be
taxed. In view of the prospects that
international air touring may soon be
common, the ruling was regarded as
important.

Eeinberg. Here idlers sip chocolate

ct 20 cents each, fiirt, chat and listen
to as good music as you can enjoy
anywhere in the world.
Each seat at one of the little round
tables costs - cents on ordinary days,
but on holidays, such as New Years
eve. you cannot get inside the place
under GO cents, while the best seats,
which are in the gallery upstairs,
overlooking the high hall, where the
music is, and the main part of the
cafe, cost 81. Every seat is taken,
every occupant happy, careless and
absorbed merely in pleasure.
The same crowd is to be seen at
Pucher's tea room opened year
ago, with brocade hung walls and dis
Greet corners. Here, a cracker costs
so cents and a cupful of chocolate so
cents, while a portion of imitation tea,
without sugar or milk can be had for
so cents. The crowd here is as well
ent to the Versailles conference as that
in the Cafe Krantz.
The Atlantis, another magnificent
cafe built during the war, is on the
ground floor of hotel, unopened
only because Vienna cannot find fur
niture for it. At least it was till
couple of days ago, when the italian

General Segre in command, and
opened offices on the first floor. The
italian flag hangs from the balcony,

and its disasters.
ais This What We Fought For?"
Now and again some battered look
ing officer in shabby uniform can be
seen scowling on the thought
less crowd with look that says: us
this what we fought for?" But such
are few and far between. The ma
jority of the military people take re-
cent events like the civilians. A Wen
nese explained it to me:
"They are so happy the war is
over"
It matters not what comes next:
the problems of the future are left
to professional politicians. The war
i: over, the cafes are attractive, the
opera Is open. These are the things
which matter. No wonder you hear
people say: "There is no fear of
bolshevism, for people are too careless
to want it."
This attitude is not the boastful
one of the Germans, who tell the uni
verse they are not beaten. The Aus
trian knows he is beaten and says so.
But so long as his pocketbook is stuffed
with paper money he keeps smiling
and goes to the restaurant and cafe
of his choice to look at the pretty
women and talk about the ballet. Moth
ing else is worth notice.

There are hundreds of thousands of
boys waiting all over the country to
become registered scouts. Men alone
are needed to head them. The local
scout paper in Jersey City voices the
universal condition when it says:
''There are 30 organized troops of
boy scouts in Jersey city, and 021
boys are enjoying the opportunity to
develop their minds and bodies in a
manner which will make them better
boys and bigger men. There might
just as well be so troops SIS 80, 1000
boys getting the benefits of scouting
instead of 1000.
"The boys are here: they are anx-
ious for leadership. The only problem
is to find the men big enough, unselfish
enough, to be willing to sacrifice some
little portion of their spare time in
order to help them.
mo service in the world is quite as
rich in returns as.the service that you
can give to boys.

men are returning from the battle

ideals of democracy, what more i'm
portant service can they find for their
accumulated energy than undertaking

that he is too busy to spare some time
for the boys. We note with pride that
Maj. Gen. G. NJ. Clement of Sunbury,

General Clement has just returned
from France, and it is noteworthy to
remember that he said on taking COM

sidered the work one of the most i'm

"There are at present 34S,000 boy
