Arrival of Croker and Reed In Eng
Iand-Statement Regarding the
Proposed Pacific Cable.

LONDON, May 5.-The Russian govern
ment. according to a dispatch 10 the Daily
News from Odessa, has addressed a friendly
protest to the German government regard
ing the appointment one OF Germany's
delegates to the peace conference at The
Hague of Professor Won Stengel. of Munich
University. who, just prior TO his appoint
ment and again Immediately afterwards.
Issued pamphlets defending war and declar-
ing that eternal peace ought not TO be the
aim Of culture.
Professor Won Stengel, in the first PAM
phlet, referred TO in the foregoing dispatch,
said war was an educational necessity, hav-
ing mission in the promotion of culture.
He characterized the agitation of the
friends Of peace as not only Utopian, but
pernicious. Such a conference as the Car
had suggested. he predicted, would be more
likely to harbor evil than good, as they
might tend 20 reveal conflicting interests
more clearly. His appointment as a dele
gate had scarcely been gazetted when he
issued a second edition of the pamphlet,
with an additional chapter dealing particu-
larly with the approaching congress. In
this he said: Instead of preaching eternal
peace and raving about the proposals Of
Russia it would be better to teach the Ger
mans that they must wear their warlike
armaments on land and sea in the interest
of the honor and welfare of the nation

PROPOSED PACIFIC CABLE.
Parliamentary Paper Explaining Atti-
tude of British Government.
Itisia Government.

LONDON, May A parliamentary paper
containing correspondence regarding the
proposed Pacific cable was issued tonight.
Embodied in the paper is the statement made
by the secretary of state for the colonies,
Joseph Chamberlain, in the House of Com
mons on April Is, to the effect that the
British government had made proposals to
the governments Of Canada and Australia
on the subject of the proposed cable, but
that no final arrangement had been made.
To this is added the statement that the gov
ernment of Great Britain has always con-
sidered that the construction OF a cable is
of far greater Importance to Australasia and
Canada than to the United Kingdom, and
that the government would not be disposed
to recommend that Parliament vote in aid
of the project, but desire to afford support
by the motherland to great self-governing
colonies in a project the success of which
cannot fail to promote imperial unity For
this reason the government considers that
the responsibility of constructing and op-
Grating the cable should be borne by Canada
and the Australasian colonies, they taking
the profits and the United Kingdom giving
an annual subsidy not exceeding 10000 for
a period not exceeding twenty years, the
exact subsidy being fve-eighteenths of the
shortage or receipts below expenses, and pro-
vided that the subsidy be payable only after
Canada and the Australasian colonies shall
have completed the cable and opened it for
traffic and only while the cable shall re-
main open. Other provisions of the proposed
agreement necessitate that priority be given
to imperial government messages at one-half
the commercial rates and imperial approval
of the construction and operation of the
cable.
The morning papers blame the govern
ment-the Liberal organs severely and the
ministerial journals mildly-for It's luke
warm attitude toward the Pacific cable
The Daily Mail reminds Mr.. Chamberlain
secretary of state for the colonies, that if
the scheme collapses American enterprise
will probably soon supply the deficiency by
continuing the Honolulu cable to Australia,
i'm which event the benefits intended for
Canada would be diverted TO the United
States

reports from projects throughout France

extreme partisans on both sides remain un-

BERLIN. May 4--The minister of educa
ton of Saxony issued a decree to-day that
hereafter all girls and young women who at
tend the public schools and colleges Of Sax
ony shall discard corsets and stays. The
decree is the result of vigorous agitation
in the press and public lectures of the med
ical fraternity. Physicians have been unani-
nous in their denunciations of the alarm
ing increase of tight lacing. especially in
Dresden and other large cities OF Saxony.
The practice has become so prevalent that
children of the age Of ten TO twelve years
have become addicted TO tight lacing. and 1t
is feared that the continuance of the custom
will prove fatal 10 posterity. Though girls
and their mothers strongly protest against
the new measure, some going so far as to
threaten TO boycott the schools. the pre-
ponderance of public opinion approves OF
the ministers action.
