and leader for the evening, gave
the Mexico society a cordial greet
ing of welcome, making each one
feel at home. The subject for the

Many beautiful talks, prayers and
scripture quotations from the men,
bers of society very clearly showed
that the spirit was represented in
that band of Christian workers,
and especially were they thankful
for such privileges as they now
enjoy in the Christian life. After
the union services the party was
escorted to the home of MIR. and
Mrs. +. r. Denham, remaining

The Rev. w. A. Denton, Of Girard,

swollen, her nerves were quite shatter-

verge of heart failure.
"Physicians gave her only temporary
relief. Her youngest sister had used

they gave her more help than any

The Passing Of German.

Senator German OF Maryland has
been generally credited with being a
shrewd and far seeing politician. The
fact is very generally recognized now.
however, that in undertaking TO lead
the opposition to the Panama Canal
treaty, he was guilty of an egregious
A., blunder. Somehow matters failed to
come out as he anticipated. The
startle she civilized world and revolu-
/ tionize public sentiment throughout the
United States, failed to put in an ap-
pearance on scheduled time. In fact
it was speedily demonstrated that talk
Of this character was pure, unadulte.-
sted bluff. There was nothing behind
it but wind, and mighty little of that.
Scarcely therefore had Mr.. German
got in front of the procession and
waved his sword for the onward move
ment, than he began to appreciate a
dwindlins away in the rear ranks.
The first blow he received in the solar
plexus came from the Louisiana Legis-
lature, which unanimously instructed
its Senators in Congress to vote for the
ratification Of the treaty. That was
the beginning of the end. The South
ern followers of Mr.. German fairly
trod uron each others heels in their
anxiety To oct down ipon tho right
side Of the fence, and gradually soma
slight appreciation of the real senti-
ment of the Southern people daWned
on Mr.. German. He found himself
leader without followers, and it is said
;hat considerable of his time OF late
has been devoted to the solemn con-
sideration Of the perplexing problem
of how he might square himself with
the situation without loss Of dignity.
1t is said that he has intmated that
he would be willing to drop his OPP
position to the treaty, provided Uncle
sam would consent to pay some ten
millions of dollars to Colombia as a
sop for her feelings in losing valuable
territory as result of her own
cupidity and asininity.
This generosity on the part of Mr..
German is truly touching. although it
would probably appeal with more force
to the public at large if he should pro-
pose to pay Colombia out of his own
pocket. 1t is an exceedingly easy thing
to be generous with other peoples
money. This is the substance of the
Panama treaty situation so far as Mr..
German is concerned. Meanwhile his
presidential boom has been fading
away like an orange sherbert on a
July afternoon. and should the United
States senate vote by a decisive ma
jority to ratify the treaty, Mr. German
will be under the painful necessity of
hunting up new issue upon which to
pin his presidential aspirations.

The expression from Russian sources
indicate that the people of that country
were very much disguised at the
nrompt and effectual way in which Ja-
nan called their game of talk. The
purpose of the Russian government
was to keep up its pretences of diplo-
macy until about March first when
they expected to be fully prepared fol

she took prompt measures to terminate

What would have become of the

contemporary evidently overlooks the
fact that the willy Russians may have
foreseen this very contingency. AS Il
matter of fact cargo of Missouri
mules are said to be on the way to
Manchuria at the present time. The
chances are, however, that they will
fall into the hands of the Japanese be-
fore they reach their destination.
