Use It's Good Offices With Ger

Washington, Nov. 30-The Haytian
Government has asked the United
States to use its good offices for the set
Element Of its controversy with Ger
many. Ambassador White is feeling
the pulse of the German authorities on
this phase of the subject, and if it can
be ascertained beforehand that Ger
many will not reject the good offices OF
the United States, they will be rendered.
While believing that Germany has
taken an. unnecessarily harsh course,
there is no disposition on the part of
the administration to interfere by pro-
test or otherwise as long as Germany,
in pressing her claims against Hayti,
keeps within the bounds of sound prac-
tice in international law.
The administration is reluctant to be-
lieve that it will be called upon to make
any assertion about the application of

present controversy, but State Depart
ment officials do not deny that this gov
eminent will take very firm stand
should Germany make any movement
in the direction of permanent occupa-
ton of Haytian territory.
For the purpose Of giving adequate
protection to American interests and to
show Germany that this government is
alert, Secretary Long, after consulta-
ton with the President, has directed the
cruiser Marblehead to make a cruise in
the West Indies, stopping at Hayti.
The instructions have not yet been sent
to Commander McCalla, commanding
the cruiser, under which he will act,
but there is reason to believe that they
will direct him to anchor in the han Dor
of POrt-Au-Prince and see that Ger

Of well-known principles of information

Ambassador Whites dispatches to the
State Department do not indicate that
the Berlin authorities have any other
purpose in view than to secure full re-
paration of the reported outrage on
Lueders, the primary object being to
give Hayti a wholesome object lesson.
which will compel better treatment of
Germon subjects in thee future.
Germany has practically rendered an
ultimatum. She has demanded the i'm
mediate payment of an indemnity and
an apology.
According to the Haytian Minister,

turned upon the city, should this hap
pen, the Haytian Government will not

TSEFUL INDIAN LORE.

People out west" observed a Kansas congressman, "have learned a number of things from the Indians, and many of them are of value. Probably the most valuable has been in the matter of cyclones. We have learned that when ever a city or town was built on the site of an old Indian settlement, it has been free from any of the cyclones which have now and then come along in the western country. How the Indians were observant and smart enough to select sites for settlement which have always escaped cyclones Is more than we have been able to learn by study or the towns or cities on original Indian settlements are cyclone-proof
 These towns which are located thus fortunately use their Indian origin as an advertisement and as a guarantee for settlement. Thus lots in an origi- nal Indian settlement town are sold for higher price and are in greater de- mand than in towns laid out by white men. It is rather rough on our intelli- gence but 1t is dollars to pennies that it is right. The cyclone insurance compa- nies will insure a policy on houses in an Indian settlement town for one third the prices they charge for similar poli- cies in other sections. They have found that it pays them better to issue the low-rate policies than other policies at the higher rate. e.'-Washington Star.

POWERFUL FOND O. CLANS"

There is a resident of Rents Corners, in the town of Scituate, who is exceed ingly fond of the succulent bivalve which has made Rhode Island so fla nous. Last Sunday morning he placed a bag and a clam rake in a wheelbar- row, which trundled down through the mud of Hope and the Valley villages to Riverpoint and thence via Apponaug to the frozen shores of Cowesett Bay.
 The ice covered the bay, and the Scit- uate man was compelled to wheel his barrow along the beach almost to War wick light before he found place where he could dig. His quest was suc- cessful, however, for when he reached Phenix on his return journey the bar row contained a bag filled with a bush el of as nice, big, juicy clans as the digger averred he'd lever sot eyes on."
 He said he didn't mind the tramp, the day was fine" He wanted a mess O clans and went and dug lem; that wuz all"
 Rents Corners are some sixteen or seventeen miles from where the clans were dug, and the distance covered sug- gests that some folks in Scituate are powerful fond O clans. ."-Providence Journal.

Its an immense thing to train the instinct of the child. It Is a great thing to have these fundamental ideas. The child plays at almost every occupation. And then he is trained to learn how im- portant these occupations are to the race, This idea of the importance of labor Is what we need to learn. In the kindergarten the children are taught first the unity of the world and then the unity of society.
 Every kindergarten which is opened in one of the tenement house districts becomes a model for that entire com munity. The very presence of these kindergarten teachers is In itself an education. The mothers come to the kindergarten. A single kindergarten in crowded district has sometimes cleansed and purified the lining of an entire field. From the educational side it is to do a great work in this coun- try"
