.
Berlin, Oct. 5.-An official Of the
foreign Office informs the correspond
ent Of the Associated Press that Ger
many is issuing second note to the

curing punishment for those guilty of
the outrages in China. This note is

The emperor Of China has addressed to

On the assumption that the edict Is genu-

ance Of the procedure proposed in its cir
cular note OF Sept. II, has further proposed
to the powers to come to an agreement to

ChilsS to examine and give their opinion on
the following poiats:
l. Whether the list contained IN the edict
Of persons to be punished is sufficient and
correct?

The Danger Of Militari.,n.

In the United States we arc now
threatened with militarism which
within few years will become as odi.
GUS as any that exists in Europe. We
must conquer peoples who are unused
to civilized restraints and who. if they
were, do not want the domination Of
foreigners. To restrain and control
such peoples we will need an ever in
creasipg army. Then will follow large
army camps near all our large cities to
overawe what will be described as the
dangerous classes. AS this huge ma
chine gathers into itself the manhood
of the country, to that extent will our
home life be dSstroyed.-Atlant Con-
etitutiOn.
