GERMANY AND SAMOA

Baron Won Buelow states the Position
OF His Government.
Berlin. April 15.--The Interpolation
on Samoa was presented in the reich
stag yesterday by DR. Lehr, and was
replied to by the minister of foreign
affairs, aron Won Luelow The whole
affair was looked upon as a fzzle and
lasted only so minutes. In his reply
Baron Won Buelow said in part:
"Our attitude regarding TIE complica-
tion may be summed UP in a simple
sentence-adherence to the legal status
created by the act, so long as the act
is not modified by the unanimous de-
cision of the powers. That is to say,
respect for the rights appertaining to
others by virtue of the act, but at the
same time full and unconditional
maintenance of German rights.
Nothing is known to us concerning
the reported conflict between the
American admiral and the commander
of the Fake. | agree with the secre-
tary of the navy that the report of
such a conflict is entirely unfounded
and I am convinced that the conduct,
sense, honor, tact and self control of
our naval officers were beyond praise,
as was the discipline of the men.
"The final settlement cannot be
prejudiced by the events in Samoa.
This settlement will not take place on
the spot. 1t can only be the result of
an agreement between the three caji-
nets. In order to bring about such a
readjustment we have promised to
dispatch a special commission, have
demanded unanimity in it's decisions
and have carried this point after
overcoming considerable difficulties.
No measure taken by the commissioners
will be legal unless all three commits
sioners assent thereto. We hope the
commission will succeed in effecting a
settlement, just, fair and acceptable to
all parties"

could not be imagined than was his
on the day before Christmas. Very
early in the morning he and Joyce had
driven off up into the hemlock woods
and brought home in triumph a beau
tiful tree, tall, shapely and stout of
branch. And it was Uncle Ben who
set it firmly in block of wood and
bore it into the big front room. And it
was Belinda, the help" who popped
great panfuis of snowy corn, and Aunt
Isabel who sat in her red-coyered rock
ing-chair and strung it into long fes
toons for the tree. And it was Joyce
who filled the generous bags of lace
net she had made at home with candy.
raisins and cracked nuts. And it was
Joyce who twined long. spicy-smelling
ropes of hemlocli to swing from the
ceiling and around the walls.
Belinda and Aunt Isabel retired to
the kitchen, while Joyce was busy with
Uncle Ben in the front room, and pres
emily Belinda's cake-making skill was
announced by delicious smells from
the big oven, and Aunt Isabel sliced the
pink ham and sandwiched it in between
the daintilythin buttered bread.
'Well have tea and coffee both, Be
linda" said Aunt Isabel, ''and pass the
things around" And Belinda, smiling
broadly in pleased anticipation of the
unusual thing which was about to hap
pen, deftly spread the snow-white frost
ing over the big fruit cake she had al
lowed to cool.
1T will be nice, that's a fact" she
said, energetically. It's wonderful,
amt it, what jest one girl can set ago
ing when she takes a notion!"

How pretty she looked in her soft

There was seldom a strange face seen
on that familiar road which led up into
the Promised Land. and Joyce caught
feeting glimpses of interested faces
peering out at them as Uncle Ben's old
horse logged heavily along. Two or
three of the young girls she had be-
come acquainted with during the pre-
ceding summer. when she had spent a
week at the farm, and now she gayly
waved her hand to them as she caught
sight of them at the window or door.
And so swiftly does news travel. even in
the Promised Land, that before night
fall everyone knew that Joyce Baxter,
Aunt Isabel's niece, had come up to
spend the holidays. Somehow the very
knowledge of this helped to content
some dissatisfied girl hearts with the
prospect of the usual dull Christmas in
the valley.
But when next day Uncle Ben's we'll
known horse and cutter stopped at
every gate in the Promised Land and
pretty, stylish Joyce came up the path
to the front door, followed Il moment
later by Uncle Ben, who never missed
the chance of a neighborly visit, there
seemed to come all at once into those
quiet lives a new something of delight
and interest which had not been there
before. And when Joyce in her own
pleasant way had given her invitation
"to come up to Aunt Isabe1's tomorrow
evening at seven O'clock" they all
thought it was lovely and promised to
go. but not one of them even suspected
Christmas tree. And it was not only
the young people who were asked to
come. Not one was sighted. Every
familywas invited, from grandma down
to the long-dressed baby. Aunt Isa-
bel had said: ASK 'em all, my dear,

crowd up and be neighborly." For the
truth was that the widely-scattered

went at all it was generally to the vii
