AMERICAN SHOES IN GERMANY.

Twenty years ago American shoes
were unknown in Germany. Indeed,
at that time our shoes were not re-
garded as superior to those of Ger
man manufacture, but the many i'm
proyements which have been made in
machinery, together with the careful
study which our manufacturers have
made of style and comfort, have
placed our shoes in the front rank
An American can almost always be
distinguished in a crowd by his shoes.
In 1880 the value of shoes imported
into Germany from the United States
amounted to s1,666; in 1890, to 1904;
in 1896 it was S39,5OS, and for the first
five months of this year The total
value of the shoes imported from the
United States was S59,5O0

TWO TO MAKE 1T.

There's a knowing little proverb
From the sunny land of Spain;
But in Northland, as in Scotland,
Is it's meaning clear and plain.
Lock it up within your heart,
Neither lose nor lend it
Two it takes to make a quarrel;
One can always end it.
Try it well in every way,
Still you'll find it true.
In a fight without foe,
Pray what could you do?
If the wrath is yours alone,
Soon you will expend it.
Two it takes to make a quarrel;
One can always end it.
Let's suppose that both are wroth
And the strife begun;
If one voice shall cry for peace,
Soon it will be done.
If but one shall span the breach
He will quickly mend it
Two it takes to make a quarrel;
One can always end it.

time allowed in any calculation
Such information as Admiral Dewey
has been able to collect has already been
dispatched to the Commissioners in mail
cd reports, and in addition to this, the
authorities here have cabled certain eN-
tracts from the Admirals observations
which are believed TO be of special inn

He has not directly suggested that
the whole group be taken nor that our
claim be limited TO Manila Bay and
the contiguous territory but he has call
ed attention to one very innortant con
sideration which has seemed to escape
general observation up to this time, and
which has been laid before the Ameri-
can Commissioners. That is that with all
the advantages in commercial way pos
sessed by Manila, the place is indefensi-
bile unless Subig Bay be also held by
the United States. This particular bay
is. on the whole, regarded as being su-
perior from strategic point of view to

Paris, Oct. 5.-The United States
Peace Commission held its usual session
to-day from ten in the morning to two
in the afternoon. The Commissioners
continued the conference with Major
General Merritt and practically conclud-
ed an extended canvass Of the Philippine
situation.
Nothing could be learned as to whether
the General or Admiral Dewey has re-
commended the retention or the eyacua-
ton of the Philippine Islands by the
American 1orccs. But, it developed that
Admiral Dewey handed General Merritt
a communication setting forth his judg-
ment ON the subject and that the General
submitted this to the Commission with
reports from the American military Of
ficers at Manila touching on the condi-
ton prevailing in the islands.
General Merritt concluded with de-
claration of his Judgment in the matter,
and it may be said that he arrived in
Paris hoping the United States Commits
sion would press for the possession of
tie Philippine archipelago.
1t is also true that the disposition of
the troops in the Philippine Islands, be-
fore General Merritt's departure, was
such. and was so ordered as to warrant
the view that a large or complete holding
of the Philippine Islands by the United
States was contemplated.

stand when the days session closed
General Wheeler's statement of today
dealt with the conditions at Camp Wi

Of Camp Thomas, where he is now in
command.

the line Of New York World eharges..-.
He said il there were any "caRp hlr

was certainly no lack 81 food.

cumstances concerning the death of pri
vate Hugh parrett, lie said Major
Beach had investigated the occurrence
and had made u report.
My inquiry" he said, "developed the
fact that DR.. Tahor was a little gruf to
the men, but L also developed the fact
that he had proved 80 efficient in the
field that they were devoted to him,
and had petitioned For his retention in
the army"
Continuing. he said that the charge
was that the man was not sent to the
hospital when he had complained just
before his death This, he thought, was
one OF those Individual cases of neglect,
and he thought is was to be explained
by the fact that DIR. Tabor was probably
i'll himself. He found this to be true in
other cases.
General Wheeler said itwas true that
many soldiers would fall on the streets.
He thought that all of them had been
weakened by their experience in Cuba,
and most of them had the germs of
fever in them.
AS TO SENN'S STATEMENT.
The General took up statement at
tributcd to DIR. Sem concerning the
sinks. He said the sinks were covered
every hour with earth or lime. He had
examined the ground and found that the
soil was not porous. He also found that
other physicians did not agree with DR..
Sem MS to the danger from typhoid.
The wells were a long distance from
the sinks and the soil was very COM
pact, eifeetually avoiding the danger of
contamination. There was no outbreak
