Astor is eelebarted for her wit, which
often carries a barbed shaft. One of
these shafts Is rankling In the breast of
her father-in-law.
Kxactly what it was that Mrs. Astor
said the Times correspondent Is unable
to ascertain exactly, but on excellent
authority it la said that.lt referred to
nor father-ln-law'a control of hla "money
bags." It so happaned that William
Waldorf ovt-rheard the stinging phrase,
and the outcome Is a complete breach
betwenn father and son, tha latter tak
ing his wife's side In the domestic quar
rel that followed.
Flrat Move la Opea War.
The proposed sale of the Observer and
the Fall Mall is the first move In the
open war which is now declared between
father and son. The original purchase
of these two papers was designed In one
case to advance the son's political ambi
tions and in the other to realise the
father's dream of founding a family
which should rank among the titled no
bility. Both objects have been sought
In recent yeara
Ever since William Waldorf used the
Pall Mall , Magaalna, which he bougnt
for the purpose of giving publlolty to his
belief that the first Astor millionaire
was a direct descendant or a Spanish
grandee who migrated to Holland, his
greatest desire In life has been to see
tho name of Aator emblasoned In the
Almanaoh de Goths. The acquisition of
a title haa become almost a monomania.
Home titles can be obtained cheaply.
William Waldorf could buy half a dosen
Continental tttlea with an expenditure
of money that would hardly be missed
from hla annual Income. It was, how
ever, an English title on which he bad
set his mind.
In those days, as Cecil Chesterton said
the other day, the traffic in "honors"
was a regular business, and one had only
to pay to the political party In power
an amount graduated according to fixed
scale In ornVr to obtain a barony, a
baronetcy, or a knighthood.
Waated to lie Dakt.
It might have seemed easy for Mr.
Aator to realise his ambition, but he
looked higher than a barony or eves
an earldom, lie wanted a dukedom. He
relinquished his American olUsenship and
became a British subject as the first
step. Unfortunately, he had not the
gift of making friends, and even had the
habit of making enemies.
The incident In which he refused to
admit 81r Berkeley Bhefflald to his house
Is a matter of history. Vlr Berkeley was
a friend of King Edward, and the mon
arch, who was naturally In a position to
know how Mr. Astor waa "pulling wires"
to obtain a title, said emphatically that
he would be dashed before he would
sign any honor list, no matter what
ministry presented It, on which the name
of Mr. Astor appeared.
This completely ended William Wal
dorf a ambitions for a title during King
Edward's reign. He was considerably
out of pocket also owing to his contribu
tions to the unionist party chest.
There came a time when Mr. Astor
concluded that hla desire to see him
self enrolled among the dukes must be
abandoned. Ills ambltlona then centered
on his son, Waldorf. The tatter's mar
rtage to aa Amerlcee had been a severe
blow to his father, who would hava pre
ferred an Bngllsh woman of title aa his
daughter-la-law. But Waldorf elected to
follow a political career, and aa young
politicians with money are welcome in
either of the Pngllsh partlss. Waldorf
was soon provided with a seat la Par
liament. In liU. he was returned for .Plymouth
after a sedulous canvaas of the con
stituency la which his father spent
money Uke water. X seat In the House
of Commona among the unionist minority
Is, of course, only a stepping stone to
seat In the House of Ixrds. which young
Waldorf was certain to obtain once the
tories returned to power, particularly If
during the period of opposition the young
member s services to the party and h's
personal prestige provided any Justifica
tion for ths bestowal of such an honor.

Painless Death by Instantaneous
Paralysis Caused by French Gun
LONDON, Hcrt. 17. (Correspondunce of
the Associated Frees.) Remarkable tales
of novel engines of war are uupourlng In
all parts of Euro,, but nothing hits yet
equalled the reports circulated concerning
new guns used by the French which fire
turplntte, a substance said to produce In
stantaneous and painless death for every
living thing within lta reach.
Although It Is so deadly In its work,
turplnlte cannot be objected to on the
ground that It violates human principles
of wsr. In fact It is so humane that It
must not be confused with lyddite and
Other explosives which have deadly fumes.
English gorreHpondents hava reported
that entire llnee of German soldiers stood
dead In their trenches as a result of the
fumes from the mysterious turplnlte dis
charged by the French In engagements
along the Marne. The dead Germans are
reported to have maintained a standing
posture and retained their rifles In their
hands, ao sudden and unuaual was the
effect of the new weupon. Inatantaneoui
paralysis Is said to have been caused by
turulnlte.
The French gun for the use of tur- j
pinlte Is shrouded In as great mystery aa
turplnlte iUelf. Experts are required, It
is said, for the una of the new ammuni
tion, and the manipulation of the strange
gun so recently Introduced Into warfare.
Military experts are now speculating
whether turplnlte will lend Itself to use
In aeroplanes. Lyddite, It is said, Can be
successfully employed by military
aeroplanes and Zeppelins. As Zeppelins
are capable of carrying guns of consider
able size, It Is conceivable they might
utilize turplnlte. However, In the present
war, rnllltar expe.rt.i do not expect to see
any of France's eriemlee discover enough
about turplnlte to produce its gas or
duplicate its fumes.
Ism consists In an affectation of the
slovenly, a denial of the elegant. His
very orthography lacks precision, for we
know not whether his initial bs 'K." or
"N." Our "nut" has no style at all. only
mannerism, which Is the death of sty'e.
The loose drab clothing that came In
with speed, speed of earth or air, may
account in some measure for tha nut.
These brown husks, we know, contain a
kernel that is man; but his godlike shape
la diuKuised quite as much aa woman's
has been revealed by recent fashion.
Nuts are frequent devotees of vicarious
energising, and tlicir chronic roundness
of shoulder la tho eternal sign of a stren
uous life and of a body perpetually arched
over the steering wheel. And his little
soft hat. Jammed Jealously over his eyes,
tells of continual battling with the breese
of speed. Set low, with hunched shoul
ders and neck outstretched, in his gray
torpedo of a racing car, he has no use
for elegance. He is merely concerned
that his flopplness be expensive. London
