"An am bitious ruler of the stamp ot Charles V, Louis XIV, or Napoleon—that Napoleon who is popular today In Berlin, where his portrait is exhib ited in the shop windows more often than those of the Prussian kings, with the exception of 'Old Fritz? A great prince who lias studied the lessons of his professors in history and has striven to realize the an cient aspirations of his people? 'The Hohenzoilerns," his teachers tell him. ' after centuries of waiting are destined to build up that great empire of the West for which the heirs of Otto laid out the plans and the Hohcnstaufen reared the scaf folding. Germany united at last under the Hohenzollern sway, in vigor, in population, in intelligence, in power or production and expan sion, superior to the decadent na tions that surround her, must go forth resolu'elv to conquer Europe -* and after that to dominate the world.' "Such I think will be the flatter ing verdict that future German his torians will pass on William 11. In the old world outside of Ger many the Belgians, at any rate, will hold a different view. They will not subscribe to the accuracy of the idealized portrait, which omits the hitherto unsuspected features that the war has brought to their notice. In one who had motives for watching him during the last years before the catastrophe, the Em peror aroused a sense of perplex ity and fear, like some momentous riddle that no man can read. Today we candot study his character with out reference to the actions that have displayed it in a ghastly light. His dramatic figure is lit up for his victims by the flames of Louvain and other ill-starred cities, and in that same lurid glare they behold their country writhing beneath the blows that his insensate rage has dealt it. "We must picture to ourselves, the Belgians will say, a monarch mighty in rank and power, effusive ly cordial to strangers whom he wishes to charm and dazzle, but li able to disappoint those who were rash enough to trust in his kindness of heart; always able to give the impression of complete frankness, and using this as a means of seduc tion; # really admiring nothing but strength, and ready to abuse his own; looking with utter contempt on snthll states and petty princes, yet never loath to flatter them when occasion demanded; a wooer of public opinion, especially that of the other countries, but resolved to defy it in order to attain his ambitions; a ruler who enjoyed a false reputa tion for chivalry, while he has shown himself relentless in his mal ice; of a faith that was sincere, if superficial, yet did not prevent him from setting his interests above his most solemn engagements, and ruthlessly tearing up any treaty that had become inconvenient; al ways careful to play his part, and clever in staging his effects; accus tomed. unfortunately, to seeing everything bow to his will; such a spoiled child of fortune that he ramo to th®. point of thinking him self infallible; one whom Nietzsche might ha\*; called a superman and the Romans a demigod. "It has been asserted that this "demigod' was merely an exalted type of the ill-balanced or decadent man. What a mistake! Ho was in full possession of all his faculties when he ordered that hasty mobi lization which made the cataclysm inevitable. Some have maintained that he was beyond all question, the tool of a caste and a party for whom war was the sole means of consolidating their power. He did, indeed, listen to their advice, but only because their views were in harmony with his own.

Of the former Crown, Prince,' P. a run Doyens had this to ' ; say: I "For some years past the Crown 1 j Prince lias been talked about aj • great deal, a fact Which has cer- I tifinly not been displeasing to hint, j 1 lie has been credited wit It a decis- j ! ive influence on the course of events j ' at the moment when the threaten j ings of the war became critical.

The Crown Prince < I deserves 'Nor such wild honor nor j ' such brand of shame.'

The season oflicially opened De cember 1. Owing to the fact thut this date was 011 a Sunday It was neces sary for hunters to postpone their opening shots until the following morning, and bright and early, while the sun was still in the east, the hunt began.

To date eighteen deer have been shot this season along What Is to Prove the | Truth of a Ghost Story? j riiat Is a Question That Strikes at j the .Nature of What We Call j Knowledge—llea-ons Why It is ' Desirable to KestrJU't the Use of the Term Science. An esteemed reader in Riverside, California, takes exception to a statement that "knowledge is not knowledge until it is the common | property of all minds sufficiently : trained to apprehend it," and of ; fers as a substitute this: "Knowl- I edge is dhe result of persoual ex | perienee - all other so-called knowledge is only assumed, or in I other words, assumed knowledge." Now, as honest lawyers admit, ; every dispute would be settled out lof court if there were not some thing more about it than appears.on I the surface. The something more in this case is the fact that my Cal ifornia friend and I entertain dif ferent notions concerning the proper definition, or the proper field of j science. ' I think that the w >rd "science" should be restricted in application j to the results of investigations and 1 experiments conducted under the j guidance, and subject to the veri : fication of our senses. Of course. 1 j do not mean by that to exclude the conclusions of mathematics, for 1 mathematical reasoning stands on physical basis. He, on the other hand, holds that j "there are three different classes of j science physical, spiritual and mental —which brought under one head, is natural science," and he ! objects to my embracing, as ne says ] I do, "all these three distinct I classes" under the one jiead "science," or, to quote him ex actly: "The use of just—Science—j makes it a main title, embracing ! the three distinct classes." But, no, decidedly no! I have no intention of embracing "spiritual" and "mental" science fin the sense in which he evidently understands them), under the common head of j Science. I want to use a term from j which they may be excluded, be cause they are sources of confusion when conjoined with investigations | conducted on the basis of experi- I mental verification. The road to i knowledge is dark and difficult : enough without having it overhung with clouds and fogs and lmpcdud with quagmires. The term "Sci ence," used singly, has come, by i general usage to have the exclusive signification above indicated RUd for the eake of clearness of thought, I its use ought to be restricted to ; i that Ldgnlflcat lqn. i To perform Us ivorls science ! needs n cleau, sharp blado; but ! these other things rust and dull it. I Science needs clear, keen eyes; the mountain, It U reported. Several hunting club* have established lodges along the slope* of the high lands, and the members are dully sul lying; out (nto the Woodlunds, armed with rifles und shotguns. Among these clubs is the Knola Blue Ridge Hunting Club, which is encamped "somewhere In the South Mountains" at a place which members have asked shall not be divulged. Foirr deer shot by the members of the or ganization during the four days they have been hunting, are shown on the pfcture.

As far as psychology has pro gressed (and it has done great things), it owes its success to standing on a physical basis, and following the methods of experi ment and verification. That being the case, it is not to be consid ered as a distinct class, but as simply a part of "physical science." As to "spiritual science," there is hope that it, too, may justify its as sumption of the term science by falling into the scientific step and reckoning nothing as fact except what is verifiable. When, if "ever, it does that, it will be found marching 011 the solid ground of nature and then science can consistently include it. There seems to be the gleam of a promise that the supernatural element of "spiritualistic" phenomena is event ually to be brushed away. This gleam appears in the recent Bel fast experiments, to which I have referred in another article. When so purely materialistic a test as that furnished by a patent weighing scales indicates an in crease of the weight of a "medium" corresponding with the intensity of the "spiritualistic manifestations she produces, surely the way seems opening to an explanation which shall violate "no known natural law, hut, on the contrary, may vastly en large the field of true scientific ex ploration. Indeed, the latest and profoundMt investigations in phys ics, the new lines of progress opened by the wonderful * relativ ity theory" of motion, seems to be preparing the ground for just such an advance. After what has been said the real nature of the difference ueiween my definition of knowledge and that of the reader in California be comes evident. "Knowledge is only knowledge when It is the common property of all minds sufficiently trained to ap prehend it"; that implies that knowledge must be verifiable in or d&r to be true. The definition ex- 1 eludes idiosyncrasy, and tempor ary, or permanent, illusion, or de lusion. It rests verity on the mul tiplicity of independent witnesses in agreement, and on the freedom of cross-examination. "Knowledge is the result of per sonal experience; all other so called knowledge is only assumed"; that implies that knowledge is only an Individual possession, lis proof resting solely on personal experi ence, without any independent test of the soundness of either the ob servation or the reasoning to which the conclusion is referred. Nothing more absolutely contrary to the spirit of true science could be Imagined, It would make the world g menagerie of egoists, and human knowledge a rope of sand. Qhost stories would be as valid as 1 mathematical demonstrations. ! The two daughters of one of the members are also depicted. Their names are Blanche and Sarah Davis. When a Telegraph reporter and a staff photographer visited the camp, recently, they were invited to par take of a delicious dinner, served in the clubhouse. It was one of the most delightful affairs in which the two newspapermen have participated. Huge plates of fried and stewed chicken, peas, corn, pickles, peaches and the other delicacies which make up a woodsman's dinner, were on the bill of fare. In the afternoon the nimrods gathered 'round, and for an hour the air was tilled with stories of the woodlands, stories which would have delighted "Jack" London or "Jack" Crawford.

Grubb, faculty athletic director, had announced that no word had been received from the Toledo challenge, this morning, members of the faculty and mem bers of the football team at Tech showed their appreciation of the success of the football eleven by addressing the student body. After several members of the faculty had broken the ice for the squad, the cheer leaders gave yells for each player, who in turn made a speech. Roomer's Nice Footwork Not accustomed to platform work a number of the boys were a little shy at times. First to bo called upon was "Silent Will" Hoerner, by profession an orator, an occasion ally end on the football end. Once Hoerner opens up and gets heated ! to his question he belies his name, j The only criticism offered to "Bill's" ! address is the fact that he cannot I keep his feet on the lioor. He moves 1 about along the footlights from one | end of the stage to the other. This only fault is overlooked, when fel low students recall that "Bill" is president of the Tech Social Dance Club. Kind Words From "Fat" With much gusto "Fat" Eauster expressed his sympathy for Tech's victims during the past season. Much regret was heard when the an nouncement was made that Captain Ebner and "llennie" Kohlman had gone hunting and hoped to bring home several "Dears." Sauerkraut Reveries Then the youthful Emanuel made his debut as an afterdinner speak er. Although the fact of the mat ter is, that the celebration was held Just before Caterer Itutherford served his sauerkraut dinner yester day noon. "Hape" Frank pitied the poor "Scrubs" who had borne the brunt of the varsity attack during the entire season when Tech's op ponents had only to face them once. And so on down the line the players spoke until the cheer leaders let one loose for "Cuckoo" Beck. Book Scores Final Goal Beck had more to say at that mo ment than at any other time in his life. The motto says, "Speech is silver." At .any rath the longer , "Beckie" talked the faster the coins descended upon the stage. AVhen the coins were collected and de posited in the loving cup presented by Druggist Packer, seventy dollars and one cent were counted to buy the football warriors some "eats" as a matter of appreciation for the splendid work of the Maroon eleven. And still Beck talked. With dinner rapidly becoming cold, Caterer Ruth erford got desperate, and with d ! shpan and potato masher in hand, the chef made the final call for din ner. With the seventy dollars as a nest egg, the executive committee decided yesterday afternoon to hold a real banquet, invite Walter Camp, or some one of equal caliber, and have a big time in honor of the best High school in America. Or as Man ager "Bill" Fortna opines, "the best in the whole world." "Goose Fighter" Causes Uproar at Lively Boxing Tournament The blood-thirsty boxing enthusiast who demands a knockout 'n every bout and chortles with ghoulish glee when the contestants trample their rosined toes in deep goro would not have been entirely satisiled with last night's sparring tourney ut the Mo tive Power gymnasium at Boyd and Hellly streets. This sort of 'pectator has rather the Instincts of a Hun. But the man with W sense of humor who relishes a genuine, hearty, laugh occasionally had his money's worth, and more, when even lteferee Jack Zindell broke a smile at the perfectly amazing antics of two kid boxers who may not have been* more than sixteen years of age. lie recognized that a real laugh, like a home run with the bases full, stirs the solar plexus, makes the blood jump and serves as a do luxe tonic. This was what the patrons were furnished in the second bout by Dick Conlin, of Allentown, and Young Bel mont, the Johnstown newsboy. The latter sprang from his corner, at top of gong, like a hungry catamount on a pigeon. He must have thought himself Jack Dempaejft He Instantly awakened similar reveries in the mind of Richard who made a noise like an angry goose and waded in just as briskly. In the recollection of spectators none had ever seen a goosetlghter. Richard would stand dead still a fragment of eternity, keep his lips apart, somewhat sug gesting a hairllp, and just iiiss-ss-ss. Some of the husky railroad men look ing on nearly collapsed from laughter. They likened the lnd to a six-wheeler blowing oft steam, and proclaimed him a real Motive Power athlete. When the gooseboy plunged his right smartly into the other tornudo's heart the battle was pver, for Ref eree Zindell wanted no tragedy. We rise to commend this referee who was severely criticised later on for calling off the bout between Baldy Brandt and "Dutch" Globish, of Lan caster. Twice the latter took the count of nine and when his face was smeared with claret and his legs too wabbly for support he went down again. Zindell gave him every chance to recover, starting 'o count a couple times and giving him breath. But seeing his condition he waved him out, while, with tne lighting man's never give-up instinct, "Dutch" whined for "the whole count" and wanted to return. A spectator took this occasion to shod Ills coat and challenge the referee but Zindell did Harrisburg Will Blaze at Reading Live Bird Shoot Reading, Pa., Dee. 10.—Tile great 1 eastern live bird handicap will be shot at Reading, January 23-24, I 1919, under auspices of Hercules Gun Club on the renowned Spring Valley shooting grounds under the interstate live bird 'rules.

Makers not lose control and his handling of the whole tournament was masterful. "Neither one of 'em know anything about fighting, and they make nc exhibition" was his brief explanation. Prom a local view the most enter taining set-to was that of "Kid" Crow a Harrisburg ooy who Is fire man on the Penns.v, and Bud Lockard, of Allentown. This was tho cleanest fight of the evening, the boys break ing away quickly without mauling and hugging like most of tho others. Crow is a tine, upstanding lad with splendid iigure, who had Famniy SchifT in his corner. He had the ad vantage of weight and Lockard might have made him trouble had he directed his blows for the body as Crow exposed this. But Lockard would not take the advice of his handler and lost the decision. lteferee Zindell again showed bis humanity and good judgment when Billy Logan, of Lancaster, suddenly collapsed with a stiff blow in the heart driven by Johnny Herman, ol Allentown. With a groan he fell against the ropes and if the referee had not stepped in Herman could have hud a knockout. to hia corner it could be seen that Logan was suffering intensely and lie might have meen Injured fatally had the bout proceeded.. Zindell was taking no chances. Of course It was unfair to spectators to put on a man In this condition, and one fair criticism ol the Motive Power Association is that so many bouts are waged with sub stitutes. In the advertised star bout, Joe Carson, of Allentown, won againsu Joe Stinger, of Philadelphia, who \va substituted for Battling Hudson, who broke his arm recently. This Carson proved himself a Lord Chesterfleld. When he pasted the Stinger person so hard that he fell on his back o"er the ropes he advanced with out stretched hands and welcomed him gently back to the ring, amid great applause, for boxing fans uppear to appreciate courtesy of this sort Tlie bout was all Carson, A very commendable feature ol these shows Is that no smoking may be done so that the atmosphere is clean and clear, and not like that in the Philadelphia estibiUnraents.
