Florence Nightingale. now close upon
so years of age, wrote a letter to sur
vivors of Balaklava as a greeting for
their recent union. The fragrance of
her philanthropic work in the Crimean
war is still a sweet SAVIOR after nearly
half n century. What she did was a
revelation to the world how a great
purpose can carry one through labors
almost measureless, amid surroundings
fitted to try the stoutest heart. Those
who saw the charge of the Light Bri-
gade. and also witnessed her heroic
labors, might well have reckoned her
chances OF survival far less tina those
of the men who faced the guns. Was
not hers a case of losing life yet saving
it? She was a martyr in will. If not
In deed, but was spared for further
service and permitted to be a pattern
in noble works.

A few centuries ago the bitterest foes
in the world, probably. were the Span
ish and the Dutch. Spain oppressed
the Netherlands with unparalleled
cruelties; the Dutch withstood the enc
my and finally conquered them with
unsurpassed heroism. Today the Span
iards are sending friendly congratula-
lions TO the Dutch in South Africa on
their stubborn defense of their indie
pendence-tAe independence which the
Spaniards themselves in the days of
Alva so furiously denied. The whirli-
gig of time has shown us few more
striking changes of attitude thar this.
Spain once the great oppressor is now
a friend of liberty. England once the
Gibraltar of liberty is fighting that
which made her great.

Citizen Sunday" has become a fixed
institution in London, and this year on
that date the clergymen in more than
300 churches of that city preached upon
the duties of the citizen to the state.
That is an institution which might
well be adopted in this country. A man
may be a good citizen without being
religious; but at any rate every man
who is truly religious should be a good
citizen, and ali the better citizen be-
cause he is religious.

Germany aroused.

Berlin, Jan 4--The seizure OF the I'M
perial steamer. General, has considerably
aggravated the situation here, and the
indignation against England is intensi-
fed. The government san earnestly
endeavoring to preserve correct official
relations, but England will do well to
hasten to make the amende honorsblo
to Germany.
On absolutely reliable authority the
correspondent OF the Associated Press
learns that Emperor William is thor
oughly aroused by the repeated seizures
OF vessels, not one OF which, he has been
assured, IS guilty OF carrying coutrabanh.
He regards the seizures as high handed
proceedings which England would not
have dared to undertake II the German
navy were not more powerful than IT
Is
Ills majesty IS said to be particularly
incensed, because information has reach
ed him showing that the seizures were
not due to the blundering OF the British
naval officers. but the strict orders fom
headquarters, which the officers are
merely carrying out. He has therefore
instructed Count Won BueIow, the for
eign secretary, to demand extct and full
reparation for the outrage done to the
German flag.
No answer that is considered satlsfac-
tory has yet been received from London
and according 70 advices here, none Is to
be expected for several days longer.
Todays news however. induced the
German government 10 send another and
more strongly worded protest to London.
Significant Of the inHesity Of Germany $
indignation against England In this mat
ter is a declaration published today by
the German Coioiai society among whose
50, 900 members are a number OF relgning
German princes, which says;
"England's recent proceedings against
German vessels are an outrage. The fact
remains that the small respect which
| the English people feel for Germany be-
cause OF her deficiency IN naval power
has taken such deep root that the COM
manders OF English war ships hasten ia
commit breaches OF international rights
so long as only Germany IS thereby
touched. This lack OF fear to touch the
German nag must be thoroughly and
speedily cured"
indignation meetings have been called
BY branches OF the Colonial society. The
German press, with hardly an exception
thunders against England. Ever tho
semi-offlcial Berliner Post says;
''It cannot be denied that the ipdigna.
tion aroused by the willfulness OF the
seizures by British comanders IS spread
1 ing wider and wider circles"

hand, its value is further increased.
The motto of THE THRIoE-A-WEEK
