CoIIo1EE, April 1.-THE semi-oncial
Cologne Gazette, commenting on President
Roosevelt's speech TO the German war
veterans, says:
Although we have not the full text OF
the speech before US, the cabled extracts
show that the President in warmly &C
knowledging the Kaiser's efforts at Algeciras
has q noble appreciation Of Germany as a
nation. These words spoken at the present
juncture pass beyond the conventional
Hriendllness with which the President has
often referred to Germany and the Germans;
they bear the character OF a political declara-
ton.
we Germans are all the more gratefully
sensitive to such marked recognition because
we have not been spoiled with much petting
lately, and the fact that from an impartial
observers mouth comes such warm appre-
citation Of Germany 8 pacific efforts in the
interest Of international justice rewards US
for many bitter pills we were obliged to
swallow for the sake Of peace at the rom

The Gazette, however, warns its readers
against p~renaturely aAsooiating President
Roosevelt's words with expectations that
they are the 1rst step In an entente which
might possibly be developed into an alliance
or come such union, and concludes:

LONDON, April IA sensation has been
created not only in military circles but in
the nation by the publication In the Times
OF a letter from Its special correspondent
in India which indicates that Lord Kitoh-
ener is handling the indian army in q
anxiety in the future. 1t is incidentally
though ~unavowedly a strong vindication
of Lord Curzon's attitude in his oontro-
versy with the late Government.
The correspondent, although writing
anonymously, l nown as an able pubhcist
who is intimately acquainted with the
politics of the empire. The gist Of his ac-
Clgations ia that Lord Kitchener by his
oontemptuous treatment Of tho native
army is creating in that body tho same
spirit OF soreness and discomfort which
was one Of the main causes Of the mutiny
of 1857. After dwelling at length on the
administrative steps and other measures
which have led TO this state Of Attain he
continues:
Lord K%itchener's masterfulness grows
with increasing power and orders he 80
often hastily issues he as hastily withdraws.
He no longer shows the same industry
or application to detail or the same devotion
TO economy which characterized his work
IN Egypt. He has 10 personal Wedge
of the Indian character and his oonstitu-
tional intolerance of all opposition units
him to learn from those who have had the
experience he lacks
In conclusion the writ 81 touches on a
matter that has been Dotorious In inner
circles, but has hitherto not been com
mented upon in the press, namely that
the reoonquest of the Sudan was nearly
wrecked in a disaster due 70 the same dis
regard for tie idiosyncrasies Of the native
troops which resulted In an incipient mutiny.
Lord Kitchener had then already started
for South Africa, but the conditions were
ascribed as due directly to his policy. 1t
is pointed out that any trouble resulting
in India may In the same way be deferred
until Lord Kitchener's term OF Office ex-
pires eighteen months hence.
Naturally this letter has produced a
defence from the Commander-in-Chiefe
a~pologists, but those which have hitherto
appeared have been too personal in tone
to carry conviction. When Parliament

Arrangements for Celebration Fell
Through, Firemen Make Good
The firemen of Norfolk will hold a
Fourth of July picnic in Norfolk this
year, and there will be no celebration
by the town. This decision was ar
rived at by Chief Will McCune and the
fire boys this morning, after receiving
from the persons who had started to
promote a celebration a decision that
there would be no celebration.
AS there is no other form of celebra-
tion planned for the Fourth in Nor
folk, it is probable that the fire boys
will make a compile success of their
affair on that day. The citizens of
Norfolk always make it point to do
what they can to help along the pro-
jects of the firemen, in return for the
glorious protection that is afforded the
property of the city by the fire laddies,
and therefore the announcement by the
firemen that they will hold picnic on
the nations birthday assures a big,
glittering, mirthful celebration, with
plenty of fireworks.
The picnic will be held in Pase-

Purpose Of Pressing Her Little Rib.
bons, Emma Nitz, Aged 10, Dies a
Terrible Death Here.
tFrom Fridays Daily

[From Fridays Daily
Ascension day ended In a fatal trag-
edy at the home of William Nltz In
Edgewater park of this city, his 10
year-old daughter, Emma, succumbing
at g. 30 last night to the horrible burns
which she received at 8 yesterday
morning by the explosion OF kerosene,
during the absence of her parents at
church. Mr.. and Mrs. Nitz had gone
to the st. Paul Lutheran church to
attend Ascension day exercises, and
during their absence little Emma de-
termined to get out her pretty ribbons
and press them with a hot iron before
her parents should return, planning
thus to delight them with surprise.
She had started fire in the stove
with paper and, to better kindle the
heavy fuel, opened the lid and poured
into the flame a can of kerosene. In
stantly the oil exploded, splashing fire
all over her little self.
Sister Unable to Sleze Her.
There was no one In the home at the
time excepting an older sister, who
had advised against the lighting OF the
fire with kerosene and who had once
put away the dangerous oil. When
she found the child enveloped in a
mass of seething, cooking fire, she
doused pailful of water over the
burning child, which only tended to in
crease the suffering and agony Of the
| little victim, then burning to death.
And before other efforts could be made
to quench the flames, little Emma had
dashed out of doors, into the wind,
where the breeze only famed into a
hotter fire the blaze that was cooking
her to death. And not until the flames
had burned off every inflammable por-
ton of her clothing, and with no more
fuel to eat on, did the fire, Of its own
accodr, end.
Meanwhile the elder sister gave at
tentio nto the house, which had start
ed to burn and the fire in which was
put out by her.
DR.. IL. Il. Holden, who attended the
case, says that the pitiful sight of the
child, after burning, was the most hor-
rible that he has ever seen in his
medical practice. And it was this sad
tragedy that greeted the parents when
they returned from Ascension day ser
vices, instead of the happy surprise
that the child had planned for them.
The victim survived, through the
agency of stimulants, for eight and a
half hours after the accident occurred
though it was known the moment the
fire was over that she could not live
Funeral services will be held at the
st, Paul Lutheran church, north of the
