•Has Only a Two -Store One.
According to the phrenologiste
the charecters of the Jaadhaff geat
rals 4n the turepean wee see
indicatea by the thasse of
'their had.s anti tfie Inedeling of
their feces. A careful analysts of
their various bumps and other in-
dioations throws aa interesting
light on their achievements and
capebilities. The 'three great war
chiefe, Lord Kitchener, Field Mar-
shal von Ilintlenbarg, and General
3offre, make 'especially interesting
studies.
General von Hindenburg
has .'witae the phrenologists calls a
two -tory head. It gives the effect
of massiveness and power and the
possession
of talents whioh accom-
play them. It is in raarked con-
trast to what may be cabled .a
tbre-tory head with a lofty brow,
indicating purely intellectual at-
tainments. The general's fereheaci
and face are unusually square,
forming a strong base for the
brein.
The head indicates •a morn who
• works to win and saerifices every-
thing to acoomplah his end. There
is little of sentiment or tenderness
in his makeup. The face, never-
theless indicates some artistic
taste. His judgments are never
based on theory. He is always em-
inently- practical. He is governed
by his knowledge of facts and of
men. Such a character depends
very little upon intuition or upon
sentimental considerations.
In his methods of work and men-
tal reasoning General von Hieden-
burg is extremely orderly and
systematic. This characteristic is
one of the secreta of his suooess. It
is asnbition to do everything in an
orderly, systematic way, and this
extends to every detail of his work.
His will power, domination,
memory and earnestness are meek -
ed at 100. Be is less than normal,
however, in the matter of sympathy
and artistic taste.
Kitchener's Head.
Lord Kitchener presents an en-
tirely different. type, Be has the
head and faze of a soldier, but -the
character has beef developed
along different lines. 'It is not a
typical British head, whereas Gen-
eral von Hindenburg is a perfect
type of the Teuton. The typical
British head is rounder, more of
the familiar John Bull form. Lord
Kitchener has many of the charee:
teristics of the Irishman.
In contrast to the modeling of
the German general's head Lord
Kitchener may be said to. have a
three-storey head. The forehead is
higher, with all that this indkates.
His is .a more intellectual face.
While not lacking in strength. it
ha,s more .alertness, a quick mas-
tery of detail. Hid genius is •of
somewhat different order. The
power of command, firmness, and
energy are very highly developed
end are marked at 100. It is on
the whole a better rounded, more
balanced character than that of
the German general.
Lord Kitchener is a, very unusual
type: Here is a matt w1110 probably
has few rivals as an executive. The
modelling of the brow suggests a
man who is more efacient ,ae an ex-
ecutive than as an ;lethal leader of
men. He has a marvelous power
for mastering e of de-
tails, Had Lord Kitchener devoted
his life to ,commeanial oe industrial
interests he would probably have
risen to be the head of some great
• trust or .similar -enterprise.
Although the face is very strong.
its chief eharaeteristic is alertness.
He can master an immense amount
of detail with bewildering repidity.
Even the laymen in such matters
will recognize the fact at a glance
that his eye is very 'unusual. The
• nose, again, is especially strung.
It indietaes the power to clinch
and drive home an advantage. It
is the face of a 'map of action and
not a, theorist. Lord Kiteheeet is
a man of few word. His talent for
language is comparatively low, be-
ing indicated by. 69 ! per oent.
Lord Kitebener's face suggests a
: Much laFi Stern man than .Gee. von
•Hindenaerg, but is nevertheless of
its type egeally determined. His
• • actions • are governed by his, will
• power based, upon a eoncluden
reached!by oalni, iebellecteel irgia-
cle. His mind is more adaptable
than that of the German general,
inure alert, and open to a greeter
variety of infieenees. Tie powere
ful jaw would appear more formai,
• able were it not for a latent Irish
twinkle of the eye, whith relieves
astel softens an otherwise set ex-
pression. It is an ideal fece of its
Partionler type.
Jaffre's Type.
Joffe, although presenting
an entirely different type, is
Remaly less eouvineing. His facie
iedivates mach the same power and
energy found in Gen, von Hinden-
bueg and Lord Kitchener, although
the expression is wholly different.
He has much the 'name genius for
command, power, determination
•and enduranee, all of which quali-
ties are marked by the phrenologist
at 100. His methods are wholly
different and his success. is due to
talents particularly his own.
The French general has the
largest anti most powerful jaw of
the three men here .compared
which is saying a great deal. The
remarkable length of his lower lip
measured from the lip tg the ehin
indicates wonderful powers of en-
durance. He would be likely to
hold on longer to gain his purpose
than either, of the- other leaders.
The modelling of the chin also
shows marvellous powers of pene-
tration. Although the face may
appear to the layman less stern
than that of Gen. von Hindenburg
•or Lord Kitchener the phrenologist
would judge that he was the
strongest of the three in this re-
spect.
Gen. Joffre is not a sentinsental-
ist or a theorist. Although some
lines of the face suggest a syma-
thetic nature this is corrected by
the usually powerful lines of the
lower portion of the head. The
brain may be said to rest upon a,
very firm base. The entire con-
tour of the face indicates strength
of will and indomitable energy.
The fact suggests a ,combination
of the Teuton and Celtic types,
with many of the characteristics of
each. His remarkable executive
ability is indicated by the unusual
breadth of the ears, whioh it will
be noticed is greater than in the
ease .of the ether generals. Gen.
Jaffee has besides a clearly defined
dimple or cleft in the chin, which
indicates unusual ambition. The
long, straight nose suggests deter-
mination of character.
The eyes are very unusual. They
are very keen, indicating unusual
power of penetration. The fact
that they are deep set would mean
that he has unusual foresight and
exercises caution in carrying out
his plans. The strong lines at the
centre of the forehead indicate of 17 per cent. Russia, the Argen-
wonderful powers of analysis and tines and the United States each
intuition. The general is doubt- had an actual decrease in cattle in
less, therefore, an excellent judge the Peeled referred to as compared
of people. His talents in this re- with important increases ixi popu-
spect are far above the normal. lation. The United States is the
worst off, relatively speakine, hav-
ing increased in population fwenty-
four per cent. and decreased in
live stock thirty per cent.
Farmers might well digest the
foregoing facts, all of which are
gathered from official sources.
They might also well ask themselves
what they are going to do about it.
Having arrived at the decision, as
they surely will, to follow the ad-
vice of the Federal Department of
Agriculture, to save their breeding
stock, they will next desire to know
how the best and most profitable
use can be made of that stock.

TREATMENT OF PRISONERS.
English Newspaper Says in Ger-
many II Is Revolting.
The London Morning Post says
it has received authentic informa-
tion ,af the treatment of British
prisoners in Germany, which it
must refrain from publishing for
the present, but which is so revolt-
ing that it feels it to be its duty to
say something on the subjeet.
"The British press," says the
Post, "hes been recommended to
say as little as possible, on this
matter, on the ground that. any
protest will only aggravate the lot
of these unfortunates ay infuriat-
ing ,their gaolers. Such argument
may or may not be sound, but it is
at least right that the public should
know that our soldiers are being
treated vilely in Germany.
'We do not suggest reprisals. On
the eontrary, we think the German
prisoners in this ,country should
net be treated luxuriously, but hu-
manely, and they are, as a matter
of fact, treated in every sense well;
but the Government might inter-
fere on 'behalf of our. prisoners by
declaring publicly that the German
Government and German Emperor
will be held directly and pers.orially
responsible if such outrages are
cortin ued.
"If the German .Emperor is. made
clearly to understand that at, the
day of reckoning the ill-treatment
of prisoners will be a count in the
indictment, he may, perhaas, be in-
duced to use his veto to mitigate,
