when they have taken all they want

boat or land near a friendly village
where a division of the spoil takes
place. They are not devoid of a certain
ehlyalrous feeling. Cases have been
known where, after having robbed
some rich passengers and made n good
haul, they have restored to the poorer
passengers what had already been
taken from them. On other occasions
they have oyerpowered the master and

Having plllaged the Junk. they have
steamed away 10 their own village. and

Situation in Germany Regarding
American Meat Exaggerated

New York. May s.-Professor Charles
Wardeu Stiles, scientific attache to the
American embassy in Berlin, will re-
turn to his post Of duty on the Paris,
sailing Wednesday.
He was asked what he thought OF the
dispatches from Berlin to the effect
that American meats are in danger of
being excluded from Germany. Mr
Stiles said:
one might assume from the cabIegrams
A careful and technical study OF it
shows several probable mistakes. IN
dOubtedly the +embaImed beef stories
have been used by the reichstag COM
mittee to which the meat bill was re-
ferred- Undoubtedly this committee
Will report some amendments to the
governments bill But as for providing
such impossible inspection as to destroy
the trade OF this country, there is no
fear of that The German government
is far too fair, just and cautious to di-
rectly invite a commercial war with US.
The reference to the exclusion of
chopped meats is probably correct al
though such exclusion would more
naturally be made by regulation than
by the law itself We also need not be
surprised to learn that soft sausa ges
are excluded. The reichstag may try to.
exclude hard sausages, but if the Ger
man government excludes the irnporta-
uons of hard sausages on alleged sani-
tary grounds other countries will IN
doubtedIy exclude German sausages
The alleged proposition to exclude
hams is new and even if the committee
has brought this forward 1 don't think
1t viii be accepted The reference to
fresh meats are probably correct, but
this part of the question does not apply
TO US at present. as our trade now in
cludes no fresh shipments to Germany
The great difficulty American meats
have to contend with in Germany is the
local regulations. The police Of Stuff
gart. for instance. have told me that
only the unopened original package can
enter that city while the customs Off
GERS on the frontier naturally insist
upon opening the boxes
This and many other local reguIa-
tions VIII be done away with If the gov
ernment bill is accepted
Notwithstanding the dfscoura sing
nature of the advices. there is no cause
for immediate anxiety Every effort
viii be made by American and German
representatives of our meat interests
to secure fair solution of the meat
question
I feel perfectly confident that the
German government will not accent q
bill which diScriminates against Aueri-
can meats Our meats will be sub
jected TO the same regulations as all
other imported meats
Moreover. Germany can not get
along without our pork

The Empire State society of the
Sons of the American Revolution re-
pudiates in the strongest manner the
use of its national meetings for poIiti-
cal purposes Especially does it con-
denim any attempt to vindicate the rep
utatiOnS of public officials or to COM
pIiment these who have been accused
of unpatriotic neglect of our soldiers
who exposed their lives for our coun-
try
The first duty of all patriotic socie-
ties is to assist. protect and uphold the
armies of the nation and to aid in Civ
ing them all the support that the re-
sources of the country can command.
This society claims its part in such
patriotic duty and repudiates with in
dignatiou the fiippant sentiment that
suppOsing they had a little spoiled
beef, what of it?' or that, in supplying
them with food it was not necessary to
be particular as to quality The soci-
ETY. looks with horror upon officials who
can express such sentiments, or who,
having the entire resources of this
wealthy country at command, not only
furnished our soldiers with a little
spoiled beef but gave them little else.
even in the home camps, where good
food in abundance was everywhere at
hand, and who also failed TO supply
them with suitable clothing, shelter
and medicine.

lutiOns be sent to all aff1Iiated socie-
