Baron Won sternberg Appointed to
Represent Germany.
Washington, April 15.-The Samoan
commission will sail for Apia on the
United States naval transport Badger,
leaving San Francisco on the 25th inst.
This arrangement was made after
Baron Speck Won Sternberg, first secre-
tary of the German embassy, had
called on Secretary Hay and advised
him of his appointment as the German
member of the high commission. This
completes the body. AS the plan to
have the members get away on the
Mariposa, sailing on the 10Th, was no
longer feasible, the transport Badger,
now at Callao, Peru, on her way to
San Francisco, was placed at the dis
posal Of the commission. She is q
large, serviceable ship, with tirst-class
accommodations for the commission
ers. On her trip out she probably will
take supplies for the Philadelphia.
The formal announcement of Baron
Sternberg's appointment was received
from the German foreign office and
gave general satisfaction among Of
ticials and diplomats.

The charge that college professors
are impractical is sometimes very
practically disproved. A Western
professor tried the effect Of electric
ity in an endeavor to thaw out a
frozen water-pipe. To his delight, in
exactly twenty minutes full head OF
water was flowing in the house. The
pipe was heated to about sixty de-
grees Fahrenheit. The success of the
professors experiment induced gen
eral use of his method in the city
where he lived. A press dispatch de-
clares that speedy relief was afforded
without the tearing ur of a foot Of
pavement, and his fellow-c citizens no
doubt have concluded that the pro-
lessor is something more and better
than mere theorist.

Havana, April Is. The Cuban army
muster rolls, which have been deliv-
cred to Gov. Gen. Brooke, through
Senior Domingo Mendez Capote, are
prepared in neat clerical style, the
100 broad sheets showing on their
face $4,000 names-6O 900 commissioners
officers and $4,000 non-commissioned
officers and privates. The whole state
ment Is In orderly arrangement OF
corps, regiments. battalion and COM
pany. The United States military au-
thorities make no attempt to reconcile
the $4,000 nQn-cOmmissiOned officers
and privates indicated by these rolls,
with the 1929 given in the estimates
prepared under the direction of the
provincial governors AS matter Of
fact since the American figures were
published it has developed that in
some respects they are misleading. For
instance, in the Province of Santiago,
Gen. Wood reported that there were no
Cubans In arms. At headquarters here
this was taken to mean that there was
no Cuban soldiers organized, but Gen.
Wood meant that there were no Cuban
soldiers in regular camp, the practice
being for the Cuban soldiery to sepa-
rate, going to their homes, coming to-
gether fortnightly, with their arms for
review. dispensing again Immediately.
Consequently In the Province of SAM
tiago alone some thousands must be
added to the American figures. More~
over additional thousands must he
eliminated from the Cuban lists, be-
cause the men represented are now i'm
official employ. Nevertheless there is a
wide difference between the American
estimates and the assembly's lists. II
the lists vouched for tally more than
10000 non commissioned officers and
privates the shares will probably be
less than 500 each.
Maj. Lee has rented house of fifty
rooms at Quemados, and there seems
to be no doubt here that he will be
appointed governor of the Province Of
Pinar del Rio and all of Havana prov
ince outside the city of Havana, COM
bined in n single military department.
The other departments will be the de-
partment Of Havana. under Maj. Gen.
Ludlow; Of Matanzas and Santa Clara,
under Maj. Gen. Wilson, and of Santi-
ago, under Maj. Gen. Wood. Puerto
Principe and the military district at
tached will probably be. under the
command of Maj. Gen. Wilson. ~ -

A merchant of New York, whose
place of business was recently burned
out, has signified his appreciation Of
the good work done on that occasion
by the firemen and the police by con-
tributing to their pension and relief
funds. In doing this he was actuated
by an honorable impulse, but it is ex-
tremely doubtful if the effect of such
gifts is salutary. Private rewards for
public servants who have done moth
ing more than their duty may conceiv-
ably have a tendency to betray them
into doing less than their duty under
circumstances which do not suggest
the expectation of reward.

Cypress Sympathy for Our Losses IL
SID Samoa.
Berlin, April Is. The United States
embassy gave the correspondent here
OF the Associated Press the following
! statement:
fss I'VE have received from the foreign
Office an account Of the latest conflict
In Samoa. The German government
expressed sympathy and took occasion
to urge the adoption Of the unanimity
rule in the finding Of the Samoa COM
mission In order that the German COM
missioner, Baron Speck Won Sternberg,
might sail for Samoa at the earliest
moment possible. The German gov
eminent urged that only the early ar
rival OF the commission will prevent
further bloodshed. This morning Baron
Won BMelow informs the American am
bassador that Great Britain has at last
agreed to the unanimity rule, the Unit
ed States also agreeing, and that the
commission can probably proceed to
the islands without delay"
The German press this morning
gives yesterdays news calmly and
mostly without comment. The Co.
logne Gazette remarks:
1--WE need not say that IL the guilt Of
the manager Of the German plantation
is proven, Germany will approve Of
his arrest and demand his punishment.
We will not defend the behavior Of a
German abroad merely because he is
a German"
The Gazette also admits that DR..
Rafael, the German president Of the
municipal council Of Apia, acted IL
legally in closing the chief Justices Of
fee. and says
'"rhe other two powers, we hope, will
also admit the illegal acts of their rep
resentatives."
The Tageblatt calls the arrest Of the
German manager Of the plantation in
which the ambuscade took place, ellie
GAL" saying: "Our consul is the only
competent judge"
The Lokalanzeiger expresses the
opinion that the affair shows the need
Of prompt action by the commission.
The Vossiche Zeitung says:
''Whatever action the German gov
eminent takes it will find itself fully
backed up by the reichstag."
A number of the leading papers, like
the Deutsche Zeitung, Schlesische
Zeitung and Hanover Courier point
out the necessity Of larger navy and
urge the Fastening of the present in
crease in its strength and the adop-
ton Of an additional bill for the con-
struction of other vessels.

London, April 15.-It is asserted here
that the statement that the marquis Of

Great Britain. The exact terms Of the
