both agree that it belongs to Mexico I'M

The refusal of the German Reichstag
to..send congratu ations to Bismarck on
his birthday seems to be rather small
business. The adverse vote was worked
up by Eugene Richter, Bismarck's old
antagonist in the Reichstag, and personal
spite was at the bottom OF it. Germany
owes a great deal to Bismarck, and for
the Reichstag thus to snub him is an
example OF iugratitude which hurts the
nation more than the man against whom
1t is directed.

The United States does not want war
with England and just as little does
England want war with the United
States. The losses Of both from such a
war would be almost beyond computa-
tion. In the fact that it is for the in
terest of both of them to live at peace
lies the strongest kind of a guarantee
that neither the Nicaragua question nor
the Venezuela Question will be suffered
to disturb their amicahle relations.

that they had burned witches. SO they
did, but they abandoned that practice
nifty years before il was given up in

public by citing the history that re-
