United States to BE Responsible For
the Debts of Other CountriesY

the Debts of Other CountriesY
The people Of the United States are
being tied up In diplomatic tangles by
their rulers that will cost them dear
In the near future If the following ill.,
formation is correctly stated:
IA late issue of the London Times,
which Is notable for the correctness
OF its statements, prints" says the
Washington Post, "a summary Of the
agreement between the government Of
Costa Rica and Messrs. Speyer g. Co..
Of New York, providing for the settle
ment of the debt Of that republic,
and makes this astonishing assertion:
1.-THE agreement Is remarkable for
the fact that the United States makes
Itself responsible for fulfllment of the
TERMS In the summary Of the agree
ment it is stated that:
"'Holders Of the refunding bonds
and Messrs. Speyer & Co. shall be en-
titled to apply to the United States Of
America for protection against any
violation Of and for aid in the enforce
ment Of the agreement and the refund
ing bonds
ut would be interesting to know
upon what authority the Costa Rican
government and Messrs. Speyer & Go.
acted when they agreed that in case
Of violation Of their agreement the
United States should be drawn into
the %squabble. Has any official or de-
partment Of this government assured
Costa Rica that it's debt shall be guar
anteed by the United States? Have
Messrs. Speyer & Co. obtained assur-
ances from any person in this govern
ment that an agreement with Costa
Rica will be enforced by the United
States If necessary? Has any official,
in the Jealous effort to prevent such
a complication as arose in Santo Do
mingo, taken it upon himself to settle
the financial entanglements Of Costa
Rica by facilitating an agreement bind
ing the United States to any course
Of action?
ut is impossible to believe that any
American official, from the president
down, could be guilty Of such an act
or that the administration would sup
port him in the attempt. However
desperate the finances Of Costa RIGA
may be, the time has not yet arrived
when the United States can be bound
by secret understandings with bank
/ ers and money lenders to guarantee
the payment Of Costa Rica's debt.
Such an act would be Of fatal conse-
quence to the official attempting it
upon it's exposure to the public. 1t
would be more far reaching and peril
than anything that has yet been
done in Santo Domingo. Even a form
al treaty proposing such a course
would be rejected as preposterous.
Nevertheless the council Of foreign
bondholders, from which valuable in
formation was derived last winter re-
garding the Santo Domingo situation,
makes public the agreement between
Costa Rica and Messrs. Speyer & Co.,
in which the right to appeal to the
United States is specified as one Of the
conditions, and the London Times goes
further, making the u%nequivocal state
ment that the United States makes
itself responsible for the fulfllment Of
the agreement. Would Messrs. Speyer
& Co. have insisted upon the right to
appeal to the United States unless
they had obtained information that
such an appeal would be entertainment"

The Coming of Byron.

With Byron's advent the modern
spirit IN poetry was born and romantic
sentimentality was laid low, according
to the illustrious Danish critic, DR..
Georg Brandes, who has recently pub
lished a notable volume under the title
"Naturalism In England" A great
poet must be q rebel, DR.. Brandes de-
clares, and while all of Byron's con-
temporaries were smitten with the fe-
yer Of the French revolution they be
came renegades and turned back after
putting their hands to the plow. After
naming Wordsworth, Soutley and Cole
ridge this critic says they may be
barred or kicked out Of the competition.
Moore, Scott, Campbell, Keats and
Lander are all dismissed as conserva-
tive and lacking the power Of inspiring
a multitude of other minds. Shelley
breathed the very spirit Of defiance,
but died without coming into his king.
dom. After Shelley's death Byron
"arises and lifts up his mighty voice
to battle against political romanticism
and political hypocrisy. Says DR..
Brandes:
European poetry wa flowing on like a
sluggish, smooth river; those who ak
along its banks found little for the eye to
rest on. All at once, as a continuation of
he stream, appeared this poetry, under
which the ground SO often gave way that
1t precipitated itself in cataracts from one
level to another-and the eyes of all in
evitably turn to that part of a river where
its stream becomes a waterfall. In By
ron's poetry the river boiled and foamed.
and the roar of its waters made music
that mounted up to heaven. In it's seeth-
ing fury it formed whirlpools. tore itself,
and whatever came in it's way and in the
end undermined the very rocks.
What languages! What tones breaking
the dcathlike silence of oppressed Europe!
The political air rang with the shrill notes,
for no word uttered by Lord Byron fell
unheard to the ground. The legions of
fugitives, the banished. the oppressed, the
conspiratOrs, Of every nation kept their
eyes fixed on the one man who. amid the
universal debasement Of intelligences and
characters to a low standard, stood up-
right, beautiful as an Apollo, brave as an
Achilles, prOuder than all the kings of
Europe together. Free, in his quality
Of English peer, from molestation every
where, he made himself the mouthpiece Of
the dumb revolutionary Indignation which
was seething in the breasts Of the best
friends and lovers of liberty in Europe.
Byron's influence was electric. The
seeds which he had sown broadcast
fructified-from the dragons teeth
sprang armed men. The intellectual
life of Russia, Poland, Germany,
France and Spain, even the Slavonic
nations, was aroused by Byron's verse.
Exiled poets took up his war cry and
made heroes of liberators. French
romanticism and German liberalism
are both direct descendants of Byron's
naturalism.
