water :gain. He stands accused o
guiding and advising the Emperor ir
opposition to the wishes Of the people
Prince Bismarck says that the publica
ZION of the Imperial edict, which he also
signed, was justified. The Emperor
was his own Prime Minister, and the
policy pursued was the same as had
been adopted by all previous Prussian
mOnarchs, who had never before had
their legal authority called into ques-
ton. The Chancellor upholds the Law
of Divine right in such an imperiOus
manner as to awaken the utmost an
tagonism on the Liberal side of the
House. He has even accused the Lib
eral leaders Of calling him a coward.
Rather fiery statesman is Prince Bis
marck. He usually succeeds in carry
ing his views by force, but when the
famous Chancellor argues that the rights
of Prussian Kings have never been
questioned he must surely be troubled
with a short memory. After the tur-
bulent events of 1919 the PrusSian
monarchy had a hard fight to subdue
popular and revolutionary ideas.
After several years of negct lat ion the
representative of the "Society of Gin
cinnati" Of Philadelphia, Mr.. Heinrich
LED, finally closed a contract last week
with Professor Scimerng, of Berlin. for
the erection Of an equestrian statue Of
George Washington in the city of Phil
adelphia. According to the stipu'ations
of the contract the statue must be in
the place prescribed in ten years from
date. The entire cost is fixed at SOL
600 marks. Although the jury award
ed the prize to Professor Seimering's
plan at the time, that ward carried
with it no obligation on the part of the
artist to carry his plan into execution
Many local obstacles had to be over
come before the contract could finally
be concluded. Now that it is much sat
is felt in German art circles.
American exporters of meat to Ger
many are likely to encounter fcrmid-
able competition. Prominent medical
men hive frequently deplored the al
most impossbiity Of supplying the
poorer classes with that modicum of
neat which is requisite for the physical
of our work ngmen. A
rial which is now being made with an
Importation of meat from the Russian
;tcppes is being watched with interest.
t is we'll known that the steppes con-
ain herds of cattle which latter are |
for their hides, and the |
neat for want of means of proper trans |!
,ortatian, is mostly allowed to perish. |
LAST year a first and small experiment |
vas made to ship some meat thence in |
salted state, which experiment proved |
20 successful as to lead to the extensive |
shipments now on their way and speed |
~ expected to arrive. Should they |
urn out to be equally successful they |
viii prove a boon to the working popu-
alton not only, but to thousands of |
households. The meat resembles in |
aste Hamburg smoked beef while its |
,rice is about 40 per cent. lower than |
hat of fresh beef. 1t is sent here |
without bones or tallow, and after pass
ng the proper medical inspection,
to become a cheap and pop |
liar article of food.
No less than IS American built |
hips. representing capacity of $4,000 |
ons, have, within the last few years,
,een sold to various ports on the Weser |
other German ports have bought COM |
few and smaller vessels. |
The first mentioned IS arrived at their |
destinations under the Ger |
nan flag, and varied in size between |
900 and 800 tons. 1t is a remark
sble fact that while they proved losing |
invest ment in the hands of the original |
American owners, all of them have |
more than paid their way to their pres |
mt possessors.
