BUENOS AYRES, Dec. 2G.—'“Man
of Mystery” is a threadbare expres
sion which should have been saved for
Hinolito Irigoyen after he took office
but he is as much a mystery as ever.
Irigoyen was elected president of
A 'gentine on no platform. He made
no promises. As radical party leader
he professed no purpose beyond get
ting a fair national election. It is
generally agreed that he got it. It
was at this election that Irigoyen
was chosen president.
It was assumed that Irigoyen would
outline a policy in his inaugural ad
dress. He made no address. It was
expected he would explain himself
through a manifesto. He had issued
no manifesto. It was surm'scd that
the makeup of his cabinet would give
the public some inkling concerning
his plans. The concensus of opinion
is that his cabinet, as subsequently
constituted, consists of eight rubber
stamps, each bearing the impress:
“Hipolito Irigoyen.”
A little “who’s who” of this cabinet
follows: Carlos A. Becu, minister of
foreign affairs. Professor of interna
tional law in the Buenos Ayres uni
versity, corporation attorney and au
thor of certain works referring dis
respectfully to the “A. B. C.” combi
nation, whose only “reason to be,” if
it has one, is declared to be that of
checking “the robberies of the United
States in Latin America.”
Domingo E. Salaberry. Minister of
finance. Multi-milionaire and lawyer
who has, however, devoted most of
his time to managing his huge castle
interests.
Elpidio Gonzalez. Minister of war.
Lawyer and radical party leader in
the state of Cordoba.
Federico Alvarez de Toledo, Jr.
Minister of marine. Civil engineer
and millionaire.
Ramon Gomez. Minister of the in
terior. Lawyer and radical party
leader in the state of Santiago del Es
tero.
Honorio Pueyrredon. Minister of j
agriculture. Lawyer, millionaire and
descendant of one of the leading fam
iles of Argentine.
Jose Sali us. Minister of justice
and public instruction. Government
inspector of schools in the state of
Jujuy.
Pablo Torfillo. Minister of public
works. Ex-newspaperman, lawyer
and millionaire.
These men are all radicals. With
one exception, they are Irigoyenists
first and radicals afterward.
The exception is Becu. Becu is a
real radical and a good many people
question whether he will stay long in
the cabinet. He is believed to have
been the president’s one sop to his
party’s wishes.
Salaberry is recognized as an able
financier. Times are hard in Argen
tine now. It is expected that the
post-war readjustment period will be
a very difficult one for the country.
There are a few guesses concerning
Irigoyen but they are nothing better
than guesses.
He is one of the most taciturn of
men. The conservative press of Ar
gentine hints that this is because he
has nothing to say. It is trying to
fasten on him the name of “King Mi
das,” partly because everything the
king touched turned to gold and part
ly because of his reputedly long ears.
Germans profess to think that the
president is friendly toward the cen
tral powers, but they can point to
nothing he has ever said or done in
support of this theory.
Some people express the opinion
that he was elected as the representa
tive of the Argentine land holders,
just as they contend that his prede
cessor, Dr. de la Plaza, upheld the
banking interests. This surmise seems
to rest on no more tangible informa
tion than that Irigoyen is himself a
large land owner.
It is reported that the church, a
state institution, was pro-Irigoyen at
TRADE CENTER
PREDICTED FOR
DANISH ISLES
BOSTON, Jan. 1.—That the pur
chase of the islands of the Danish
West Indies, St. Thomas, St. John
and St. Croix, will be of the greatest
possible advantage to the United
States, both from a trade and stra
tegic standpoint, is the opinion of
Prof. William Hovgard of the Massa
chusetts Institute of Technology,
former commander in the royal Dan
ish navy and an authority on these
islands. He also believes that owner
ship by the United States will great
ly benefit Danish capital invested
there because development of the fa
cilities for trade will be much more
rapid, he says.
“The islands he said, will viin
enormously by the Panama canal, that
is obwous. Without doubt the port of
St. Thomas would have become a dis
tributing center in any event late.- on,
for in presence of the canal I ch'nk it
destined to become one of the world’s
greatest trade centers, but it would
have taken a much longer time under
the control of Denmark, as those in
terested in the islands had insufficient
capital. Where they would have done
things in crowns, the United States
will do things in dollars. A Danish
corporation has held large interests
in St. Thomas and has been most anx
ious to develop the harbor and trade
facilities, without going outside Den
mark for financial backing, however.
“I feel certain that whoever invests
in this undertaking now that it is in
the hands of the United States will
develop it. It promises to be such a
paying propositon that it will be of
the greatest imaginable trade value
to the country. I sincerely believe
chat the port of St. Thomas itself
will become the Singapore of the west.
“There will be a large string of
great European vessels on routes
running through the Panama cana’,
when the war is over, which must pass
directly by the islands on the norlp
er.st, where the port of St. Thomas is
located. This will place the port in
a particularly fine position as there
will then be opportunity for consign
ing freignl to St. Thomas for distribu
tion among all the Windward islands,
along the north coast.
the last election, helped the radical
candidate greatly at the polls and is
well pleased to see him in the “Casa
Rodanda,” or Argentine White
House. Irigoyen is well known to
have been liberal in his donations to
the church but he is understood to be
personally agnostically inclined.
The president, who is now very
rich, was poor when he was young.
It is understood that he gained his
foothold on borrowed capital, used
shrewdly in land speculation.
PLAN TO MAKE ROCKIES
“SWITZERLAND OF AMERICA”
WITH WINTER SPORTS
DENVER, Colo., Dec. 12.—To make
the Rocky mountain national park
country the winter Switzerland of
America as well as this country’s
choicest summer resort is the big idea
that L. C. Way, supervisor of the park
is working on today.
“It is a land of marvelous beauty,"
Mr. Way declared. “It gets you and
holds you. There is room for every
kind of winter sport—snowshoeing,
tobogganing and hockey—and the air
is never too cold. We play golf all
winter in Estes park. We are putting
two ski courses at Fern lake now,
starting at the very top of the moun
tain.
“When I get the program of winter
sports arranged we expect to make
the park the best known winter re
sort on the continent.”
Supervisor Way is building for the
future, too. More and better roads
for the automobilist, traity and
footpaths for the pedestrian—these
will be built as fast as appropriations
for the work can be secured.
The transportation companies figure
there will be 300,000 visitors to the
park during the summer.

GEN. NIVELLE MADE
HIS NAME WHILE
FIGHTING AT VERDUN
Gen. Robert Nivelle, the man of the
hour in. France, who has just taken
over the command of the allied armies,
is one of the youngest generals. He
is 56 years old, having been born, Oct.
15, 1858, at Tulle, in the department
of Correze. He selected the artillery
arm of the service and has always
been an exponent of inexhaustible
shell supply and innumerable guns._
The name of Nivells was first heard
by the public during the German
crown prince’s Verdun offensive. He
went to the Meuse last April, com
manding the 3rd army corps, and a
month later succeeded Gen. Petain,
commanding the Verdun army. By
his masterful genius he saved the for
tress, then in two recent bounds re
took Douamont and Vaux, undoing
the German’s work of eight months.
When the war began, Nivelle was
colonel of the 5th field artillery regi
ment, stationed at Llesancon. Being
ordered to Alsace in the French drive
again Thunn and Maelhausen, he
earned the distinction of destroying
an entire German artillery battery,
thus permitting the temporary cap
ture of Thunn.
During the Marne-Ourcq battle he
commanded the 7th army corps artil
lery under Gen. Manoury.
Promoted to be a general in Octo
ber, 1914, he scored a decisive check
against the Germans when they
launched the Soissons offensive in
January, 1915 in a desperate thrust
at Paris. A month later, Feb. 19, he
recaptured the Queenevieres plateau,
east of Soissons, thereby re!iev:ng the
sector and forcing a part of the Ger
man line to fall back across the Ais
ne.
A sturdy, semi-blonde type of
Frenchman, with plentiful hair, close
ly-cropped moustache, hard, calculat
ing eyes, and a vise-like mouth and
chin, Nivelle is loved alike by officers
and soldiers and is credited with hav
ing instilled a wonderful spirit into
the army of Verdun, which is said to
have a higher morale than even Na
poleon’s Old Guard.
A comrade of Nivelle named Nord
man recounts how all the officers and
soldiers ducked Mauser bullets at the
beginning of the war, but Nivelle re
mained impassive.
“What is the use of trying to dodge
bullets?” Nivelle explained.
On another occasion Nivelle was
heaid earnestly trying to imitate the
whistle of the machine gun, bullets
spraying ‘about him as he advanced
with his troops.
Gen. Nivelle is half English, his
mother having belonged to a promi
nent Kentish military family
