world 1t was essentially fathers advice
to an infant country. This advice grew out
OF his wisdom, patriotism and honesty as
a statesman and man. In plain English.
the speaker said 1t meant Mind your own
business in a national way. Our rela-
tionship with other nations now is very diff
ferent from what 1t was in the days Of
Washington
The speaker referred to the fact that only
recently the American citizens were OBJ
liged to rely upon protection of the British
flag when the Christians were being muir
dered by the Turks. New forces and cqndi-
a new civilization. he declared. We have
outlived our infancy. We have become a
great center. Our great wealth Is already
being demonstrated everywhere, which
compels us to have a high place among the
other nations Of the world. He mentioned
the necessity for foreign markets and the
advantages Of opening the new highway to
the commerce Of the world. When this

BERNsDoRFs OBSERVATION.
He Thinks New York Has Great
 Police System.

Berlin, March 12-Count von Bernsdorf, President of the Potsdam police, who re- gently returned to Germany from the United States, has submitted to Emperor William a written narrative of his expe- riences and observances in America with appreciative notes on the New York po- lice.
 Count von Bernsdorf. with a detective sergeant detailed by Police Commissioner Greene, studied the police system of New York. The thing which most astonished him was that he was not bothered in the streets by absolute women.
 The Count told newspaper correspond ent that he especially admired the size of the New York policemen, his smart uniform and bis courtesy, and he referred in his report to the large, well-ordered police systems of New York and contrst- ed them with the rented rooms occupied by the Berlin police.
 But" the Count added, using a recent addition to his vocabulary, the Ameri- cans have money to throw at the birds" "
 Since his return. Count von Bernsdorf has timed the Berlin firemen in\ respond ing to calls. He found that it takes three or four minutes to start an engine here and entrusted this with New York s thirty seconds to do the same thing.
