Ome of the Few German Naval Offi- cers Who Won the Admiration of the Allies--He Was the Com- mander of the Emden and Had Thrilling Time During His Ad- /vemturous Career. One of the few Germans who fought conspicuously in the war and were admitted by their foes to be brave and sportsmanlike fighters was Capt. Karl Von Mueller, who died in Germany a short time ago. He was the commander of the Emden, and the Emden probably was more use- ful to the Gerraan cause than all the rest of the German navy put togeth- er, with the exception of the U-boats In her short and eventful career of fourteen weeks she destroyd 74,000 tons of British and other enemy ship- ping, including twenty-two ships, with a total value of $20,000,000. Marine insurance rates went down 50 per cent. the day it was announc- ed that she had been sunk. She was the most famous of the German raid- ers, and yet it is said that except in the last fight, with the Australian cruiser Sydney, that finally sent her to the bottom, she was not respdnsi- ble for the loss of a single life. In the ed and fifteen were wounded on the latter, while the Emden's losses were much heavier, Karl Von Mueller was one of the best known of German naval officers, a thorough sailor, and popular both in his profession and socially. He was one of the staff that represented the German Emperor at the marriage of King George. When war broke out the Emden, a small cruiser of 3,650 tons and 361 men, was in the Yellow Sea. Two days after the declaration she was reported sunk by a Russian ship, but later came the news that on the previous day she had sunk a British ship and was at large. Then for six weeks there was silence, at the end of which the Ad- miralty announced that she had em- tered the Bay of Bengal and captured six British ships, five of which she had sunk, while the sixth was ggnt to Calcutta with the captured crews. Yon Mueller was now in the vicinity in which he had determined to oper- ate, and some part of his subsequent success was due to the fact that at that time there was little or no wire- less in the Indian Ocean. The Em- den was equipped, however, and no doubt was able to get many messages of value to her. The next few weeks were thrilling ones. The Emden raced through the Indian Ocean like a terrier in a rat- infested barn, harrying commerce, sinking ships, slipping quietly into enemy harbors at times with the dis- guise of false flags and a false fourth funnel. By the time the alarm had been sent in she had disappeared, only to turn up again where least ex- pected and pounce on another mer- chantman. She kept herself supplied with coal from the vessels she cap- tured, and these furnished all her other supplies. There was not a har- bor which she cSuld enter safely, and there was always the danger, which German submarines in the North Sea learned to their cost, that the lumb- ering merchantman which she hailed might suddenly prove to be a fighting ship with guns concealed. The pris- oners she made were always well treated, and they were only prison- ers long enough to enable the Emden to capture another ship and send them home. The Emden was grimy and needed overhauling. Finally it became im- hat her bottom should be 'was the problem, but Capt. Von Muel- ler finally concluded to take a chance on the little island of Diego Garcla, a British possession, which he rightly supposed was not likely to be one of the haunts of the British navy. - So, with the German flag boldly flying, steamed into the harbor. On shore British flags were flying from most of the buildings and the popu- lation was gathered along the beach, 4h £ i, g ¥ £ £ 1] ii in : i fight with the Sdney, three were kill- | g¥F THE BOWES-LYON FAMILY. Facts About Parentase of Duke of York's Bride-to-Be. Lady Elizabeth Bowes-Lyon -- her full Christian names are Elizabeth Angela Marguerite--the youngest and only unmarried daughter of the Earl and Countess of Strathmore, was born on August 4, 1900, so that she is five years younger than the duke. She is extremely pretty and was one of the most admired of Princess Mary's bridesmaids. . | The Duke of York has on several occasions been the guest of the Earl and Countess of Strathmore at Gla- mis Castle, so that he and Lady Elizabeth have been seen a good deal of each 'Other. Lady Elisabeth, who is very popu- lar in society, is a very fine dancer and a favorite partner of both the Prince of Wales and the Duke of York. Lord and Lady Strathmore have had a family of six sons and four daughters, of whom four sons and. three daughters survive. The cidest son, Lord Glamis, married Lady Dor- othy Osborme, third daughter of the Duke and Duchess of Leeds. The eldest daughter, Lady Mary 'Bowes-Lyon, married Lord Eilphin- stone, and it was with them that Princess Mary stayed when she viait- ed her regiment, the Royal Scots, at Edinburgh a few months ago.

Some authors can write any- | in suitable surroundings. Sir Lewis Morris wrote "The Epic of Hades" while traveling on the Underground Railway. George Gis- sing wrote 'Grub Street" in a cellar, and Francis Thompson the immortal "Hound of Heaven" in a "London lodging-house. Dickens used to find that ideas and plots would flow upon him in the crowded street; but for the purpose of actual setting down on paper he required to shut himself up in his | own room. The presencq of a stray piece of paper on the floor, or the absenee of.a book from its accustomed place, would upset his thoughts completely. Southey found that it was hope- less for h 'attempt to write un- leas he about him; while Scott and Tennyson never feit at home unless working In their stu dies overlooking a garden. Carlyle and Bacon preferred to write ii a garret containing only & table and chair, whereas Thiers and Eugene Sue surrounded themselves with luxurious car and beautiful furniture. , Jean -Jacques dress himself in his best clothes be- fore sitting down to write; Lytton would don Court dress, and Geld- smith his favorite plum-colored suit. Buffon, the naturalist, sported a spot- less white shirt with starched frills. Emile Zola, writer of so many ex- citing novels, always used red ink, and Sardou a particular kind eof paper.
