DISTURBS COURTS
Interesting Question Now Is if
Duke of Croy's American
Wife Will Be Duchess.
OBJECTION IS PRONOUNCED
Efforts Peine Made by Royal Rela
fives to Oitrcome Attachment
of Wealthy Tounj: Xoble for
Daughter of Ambassador.
. BERLIX. Arril 27. Court circles are
busy with discussion of the question
of what will be the statu of Miss
aney Lelshman. daughter of Am--baasador
Lelshman. when she Is wedded
to the Duke of Croy. Will she be a
duchess, or will court circles refuse to
recognise her right to the title, even
though her marriage to the Duke is
unquestioned eren by the court law
yers? These are questions Involving" a
peculiarly European conception or tne
righta of wives from the ranks of the
people who are espoused by royalty".
There Is opposition to the marriage
on the part of the Dukes relative!
opposition at which the Duke snaps
Me fingers with the declaration that
be la of age and will do as he pleases
about it. For he became 24 years old
nn Anrll 11. and was In a legal posl
tion to disregard the attitude of his
family. It Is admitted that the young
Duke Is deeply In love. Being In love,
however, does not solve some of the
court questions Involved. Behind the
mere framework of the civil law as to
marriages, there lurk complications In
numerable affecting the status of those
who are espoused and who are not "of
the blood." That the marriage might
ie recognised as a marriage Is one
thing. That the wife of the Duke of
Croy, In the face of royal opposition,
would be a Duchess Is still open to
doubt. Royalty In Europe has a way
of doing those things that la quite its
own.
Arrhdurbma Has Hopes.
Leaders of the opposition to the
Duke's marriage In this instance in
elude both the German and Austrian
Emperors and the Archduchess isa
hella. wife of the cousin of the Austrian
Emperor. Archduke Frederick. The
Archduchess Is said to have counselled
the German Emperor In his action in
detaching the Duke of Croy from his
command at Potsdam and sending mm
to Vienna as a mtlltary attache of the
embassy there. This would place the
young Duke In a position where no
would be under the Influence of the
Archduchess, who hopes to be able to
dissuade him from his projected mlS'
tike."
It Is admitted that his bride, the
daughter of a 'commoner." though the
"commoner" be an Ambassador, cannot
bope to win admission to the Austrian
court, which la the strictest court In all
Europe . in, matters of this kind, but
there Is some prospect of overcoming
the main obstacles in Uerraany. waere
at least partial recognition may be
won If matters are handled with the
right kind If diplomacy.
Dike la Wealthy.
The title of the Duke of Croy was
tnedlatlxed by Napoleon, but originated
In the 14th century, and the heredi
tary estates that go with It are entire
ly beyond the control of even the Ger
man kmneror. The Duke also has much
wealth In his own right. Whether or
not he Is able to command royal recog
nition of his American bride, he will
be able to "take care of her" In the
American acceptance of the term. The
Duke Is not a fortune hunter. Person
ally, he la a young man of much spirit,
and It is not doubted that. If It were
necessary, he would defy the royal
families of all the world.
An Illustration of the kind of man
he Is was found In his resignation
from the resrlment of the Garde du
Corps, In which he held a commission
as lieutenant. The Duke did not like
the wav his associates received the
news of his engagement, and ne prompt
ly cut loose from them.
American Interests have been many
among the members of the house of
Croy. Three Prlncea of the Belgian
branch have been residents of the
t'nlted States Leopold de Croy, who
was connected with a New York real
estate firm for some time: Alfred, who
was a member of the faculty of a musi
cal school In Washington. D. C. and
Hnrr. who ventured Into business In
the West.
AIR TROOPS ARE SEPARATE
Germany's Plan for Next FUr Years
Take on Biff Proportion.
BERLIX. April It- (Special.) For
the nejtt five years about I3T.500.000
will be required for airships and aero
planes and their service In the Ger
man army and navy. Something over
JS.500.000 will be required for the army
and nearly $15,000,000 for the navy. In
the army airship troops And aeroplane
troops will be kept separate under
separate Inspections.
For the navy it Is proposed to call
Into being a flett of two squadrons with
rive dirigibles In each, and 60 other
air craft. Four dirigibles of each
squadron will be In service, while one
ship of each will form the reserve.
Four double revolving sheds are to be
built for the ships In service, and two
rigid shads for the reserve. In addi
tion there will be the necessary gas
works, barracks for the crews and va
rious other bulldlnga such as machin
ery halls, etc. For the aeroplanes there
Is to be a central or "mother" station,
wlta six outlying stations. Provision
Is to be made for SO craft for the pres
ent namely, six groups of six aero
planes each, and 14 to form a reserve.
The "mother" station will also be sup
plied with a flying ground with all the
appliances necessary for practice and
with the stores necessary for the out
stations. For the marine branch of the
air craft service provision Is to be
made for 1452 men. exclusive of offi
cers. Wlta regard to the army there is
more vagueness, as it is not quite clear
for what number of craft provision is
to be made nor what number of men
will be required for thia service. For
1)13 apparently. 3323 men. exclusive of
officers, are demanded, but there seems
to be a belief that . these will be In
the nature of "cadres." which will be
f t M 4 nn in llhn un t VMTS and Will
only reach their full strength In 1917.
The Increase provided for now consists
of two airship battalions, three airship
companies, five aeroplane battalions
and one aeroplane company. The odd
companies will be formed out of already
existing organizations.
The airship troopa will be stationed
at the following centers: Berlin. Dres
den. Darmstadt. Hanover. Cologne,
DusselJorf. Mannheim. Metz. Lahr.
FMedrichshafen. Konlgsberg. Graudens
nd Schneldemuhl. The "flying" troops

tion of the "flying" troops has been
very carefully thought out. All cen
tralization Is avoided,' and the head
quarters of nearly every army corps
will be supplied with Its necessary air
craft aupports. It need only be added
that the airships are mainly on the
North Sea coast. The Baltic coast Is
not regarded as so Important.

on Embezzlement Charge.
NEW YORK, April 27. (Special.)
Samuel Kallsch. of this city, who was
arrested here last December, held in

loving Annie."
He answered it. Kallsch had hardly
arrived when he was arrested. He was
charged with embezzling $800 from Ly-
dla Anna McCarty. of 1222 Folsom
street, San Francisco.
a few days later a detective sergeant
arrived from San Francisco with requi
sition papers. He explained how Kal
lsch had been trapped. On the advice
of the police Miss McCarty had written
a score of copies of a love letter and
directed them to most of the large cities
of the United States, addressing them
to Samuel Kallsch.
At the hearing on the extradition pa
pers Detective Sergeant William Mlna
han. of San Francisco, said that he
Identified the prisoner as the Samuel
Kallsch named in the indictment.

wife lives on the farm, and Westman
took up his abode in a shack on the
road leading out of Wlnslow. The body
was found in the brush between the
road and his shack. .
Sheriff Shattuck said he found hair
pins near the body, and this, together
with the position of Westman's body,

STUDENTS INVADE FORESTS
Fifty or Oregon Agricultural College
to Camp Out.
OREGON AGRICULTURAL COLLEGE,
Corvallis, Or., April 27. (Special.)
Bound for the timber-clad Corvallis
watershed, where 10 days will be
passed in camp, 50 students of the Ore
gon Agricultural College school of for
estry, accompanied by Professor G. W.
Peavy and II. S. Newlns, Instructor, left
the college Sunday. The foresters went
to Philomath by train, where they were
met by wagons to convey the camping
outfits and rations while the boys
"hiked" to their destination.
The purpose- of the trip, which is a
part of the regular forestry courses.
Is to acquaint the students with ac
tual conditions in the forests and give
them some practical experience in
cruising timber.
The Empire of Arabia.
Paris Cor. Bresil Economique.
With the impending curtailment of
the power and extent of the Turkish
Empire comes tho hope of a new Mo
hammedan empire, the Empire of Ara
bia .the natural boundaries of which
would extend from the valleys of the
Tigris and Euphrates to the Isthmus
of Suez, and from the Mediterranean
Sea to the Sea of Oman. The present
villayet of the Hedjaz, with the terri
tory of Medina, would probably form
an Independent state, ot wnicn tne sov
ereign would be a religious caliph, the
father of all Mohammedans. This Ara
bian Empire should Include the valleys
of the Tigris and Euphrates. Syria, the
valleys of Oronte and Leontes, Pales
tine. Central Arabia, with its five ter
ritorial divisions, the Djwof. the DJeb-el-Sehomer,
the Khe.ybard, the Kasin,
the Teyona, Nedjed. Oman, Hadramant,
Yemen and Hedjaz. If this should
come to pass, a part of the world's
geography that is little known should
rome to the front to the distress of the
cable man and the telegraph editor.
It is hardly possible that the new em
pire should Include Palestine. When
the power of tho Turk is broken there
Is a sentiment that will arouse that
will result in taking the Holy Land
from the hands of the Infidel, and after
manv centuries the impassioned but
frlutless hope of the Crusaders will be
realized and meet the old cry of "God
wills it."

Best of all, she liked to fool her hus
band. Every morning she roused her
i nn when he did. flung on a lovely
negligee, fluffed up her hair and sat
In the baby's nursery, as If she could
not leave the baby to have breakfast
with him. She was a pretty Dionuo
and made a lovely picture with the
hih in hr irmi. Mr. Joyce would tear
himself away, rush down to the nice
breakfast Katie had waiting ror nim,
and off to work, thinking that he had
the most capable wife In the world.
And before he was around the corner,
she was back In bed, fast asleep, and
we would hear nothing from her until
she rang for her breakfast about 9
o'clock.
And that was the last time she no
ticed the baby till she played the pret
ty little comedy of domesticity for her
husband the next morning.
I'm not saying she deceived her hus
band. She never did anything wrong or
dishonest. She was Just shrewd and in
sincere, and I despised her as I never
have despised any human being be
fore or since. I used to wish she'd
lose her temper and become hysterical
Just as the average woman would, but
she was too clever to do either. They
would brine lines to her face and tire
her. It was easier to be cutting or
sauve, as the occasion demanded. I
recall' one day when Mr. Joyce was
going to Pittsburg on business, and
she went with him. I had the baby
downstairs at breakfast time for ef
fect. She fondled and kissed it for
effect. And then Just as they were
starting for effect also she called
over her shoulder: "Katie, Nellie I
hope you will have a pleasant holiday
while we are gone." And all the time
she knew she had left us for three
days with half a head of cabbage, a
little piece of corned beer, a lew pota
toes and some carrots to eat. We both
dug down into our own purses and
bought a bit of lamb and fruit for our
Sunday dinners.
CHURCH 0NSALE FOR $1
Eleventh Centnry Edifice in France
Offered at Tills Price.
Paris Cor. New York Sun.
There is a church dating from the
11th century at Clairefontaine, near
Ramboulllet, where the President of
France haB his Summer home, which
is for sale at the modest price of $1.
The rumor of such an extraordinary
bargain reached Paris and one news
paperman went down there to' see if
it was true. He met the Mayor of the
little town and said to him:
"Is it true that the Clairefontaine
church is for sale?"
"Just as true as you are alive, mon
sieur, and it is not dear."
"Some one has mentioned the price
of five francs." the interviewer sug
gested. "That is at least the first price." re
plied the Mayor.
The old church was founded by
Simon de Montfort, but It is little won
der that no one wants it, because the
huver must have it demolished. Be
sides two columns and the rafters of
wood there is nothing which would be
of use to anybody. And tnen tne rail

about the passing moments and it was
half an hour after time for service to
commence when he hurried Into church
armed with a ftshpole and with hiB
angler's basket thrown over his shoul
der. He threw these into a rear pew and
entered the pulpit mopping his brow.
The congregation, which had been
waiting patiently, was astonished when
the rector explained that he had start
ed early that morning to drive to
church, but had stopped to fish on the
way and had "clean forgotten his ap
pointment" in his Interest over fish
ing. The frank acknowledgement of
his deed made, he proceeded with his
sermon.
After the service he allowed his ves
trymen to peep into his angler's bas
ket, and after one look some of them
vowed the rector was excusable.
BRITISH SUPPORT TALKED
French General Contributes Article
on Possible Result.
PARIS. April 26. (Special.) General
de Lacrolx contributes an article to the
Temps, in which he deals with the
statements recently made in an Eng
lish newspaper to the effect that the
assistance given indirectly to the
French army by a British fleet would
be equivalent to an Increase of its
forces by 500.000 men, and, secondly,
that England should aid France at sea
and Russia should aid her on land.
General de Lacroix points out that
coast defense is .Intrusted to second
line troops, which could have no place
on the Meuse or Moselle.
The presence of the British fleet
might prevent a few attempts at bom
bardment, but it would not Increase
the French troops on the eastern fron
tier by a single man or gun. More
over, as concerns the troops in Algeria,
they would under any circumstances be
brought back to France. The support
of an English fleet in the Mediter
ranean might facilitate their voyage,
but even without It they would be
brought back. As for Italy, It is doubt
ful how far the fear of naval bom
bardment would prevent her from join
ing in the war, as the most violent
naval bombardments known to history
have never had more than very limited
results. Italy, like France, possesses
secondary forces to guard her coast,
and can keep her first lino troops for
a more Important military object. It
would consequently be Impossible for
France to withdraw her troops from
the Alps to the eastern frontier merely
on account of the support of the Brit
ish Navy. ,
"Consequently," says General de La
croix, in words which are indorsed by
leading French statesmen of nearly
every shade of opinion. It is Incorrect
to state that the support of the British
fleet will enable France to throw half
a million' more men on her eastern
frontier at the beginning of a war. It
will In no way modify the employment
or distribution of her forces, and Eng
land must realize that during this pe
riod, which is far the most Important,
the assistance that she will give France
will consist exclusively of the effect
ive aid of her army fighting in co
operation with the French troops on
the continent." As for the idea that
England should aid France at sea.
while Russia aids her on land. General
de Lacroix points out that this point
of view is a misunderstanding of what
is to be expected from an entente or
even an alliance between countries so
distinct and distant as England, France
and Russia. A strong and united na
tion like Germany can always exploit
the temporary weakness of any one of
her adversaries or that divergence of
interests which must exist between
them in certain matters. If the German
element, cut off from the Mediterran
ean by the young Balkan nations, en
deavors to press towards the North Sea
to take its revenge, and abandons its
advance towards the east for an ad
vance towards the west, if It sets its
hand more or less discreetly on the so
called Teutonic states of Belgium, Hol
land or Denmark, at once the balance
of power in Europe, the command of
the seas, and the triple entente are in
jeopardy.
General do Lacroix considers that the
English point of view should be that
it is unwis at first to put the Triple
Entente to too severe a test by throw
ing the principal burden, that of the
actual fighting, on Russia in a conflict
the issue of which directly Interests
Great Britain. "Besides." he asks, "how

In this state. Plant Juice is a remedy

stomach and liver troubles and ail

tones up the digestive organs, cleanses
the liver and clears the blood of all
poisons. Those who suffer from bil

digestion, gas, bloating, acidity of the
stomach, pains across the back or in
the joints, headaches, dizzy spells,
nervousness, insomnia, no appetite and
general lack of vitality, should take
Plant Juice. It Is a remedy that gives
almost immediate relief and lasting re

rheumatism it has no equal. It dis

dence the defense of her interests on
land to any other arms than those of
her own soldiers? How could she pro
tect them if she only possesses the
command of the sea?" It would be Im
possible for Great Britain to maintain
her position In Europe at such a time
by following the line of least resist
ance and keeping up an army of the
smallest size. It was not at Trafalgar,
but at Waterloo, that she overthrew
Napoleon. Today, In face of the Ger
man danger, the position of England
is the same as it was in the time of
Napoleon. "England must provide on
the Meuse the support necessary for the
French army to overcome the German
superiority in numbers. If not, the des
tinies of Europe may well be settled
in the West in a way that would not
meet her views. A fleet and a terri
torial army, however numerous it may
be, can set no obstacle In the way of
the advance of Germany on the conti

a strength of 15 or 20 divisions, can
guarantee to England, united with
France, her victory in Europe, and
thereby the maintenance of her posi
