copy or the kaisers "Deutsche Volks- |
| lieder fur Maennerchore, printed on
parchment with hand Illuminated ini- |
| tails is to be presented to President |
Roosevelt as a new token of the kais-
er's admiration of the Emperor of
| America" as he has come to be
known here.
The book. one of the most unique
in the world, will contain more than /
six hundred German folk songs with
music by Germany's foremost COM
posers More than four hundred of
these have never appeared in print
before outside of the few copies in
the masses.
The kaiser has personally taken
part in the work of collecting ana
preparing the songs and is also said
to have designed the special cover for
the copy which is to be sent to the
president.
1t is in evidence from the tone of
the German newspapers that they
view with considerable satisfaction
the growing estrangement between
Americans and Japanese on both sides
of the Pacific ocean.
Immediately after the war one of
our most prominent financiers pro-
nounced the opinion that the Japa-
friendly feeling in America to fur
ther their own plans and only a few
days ago NJ. Witte, the famous Rus
sian statesman, speaking of the new
1925, 900, 900 loan the japanese are
endeavoring to raise in the United
States is reported to have said: THE
time will surely come when America
/. will regret lOaning money to Japan
instead of to Russia. 1t is not that
II tg- IN, Of he ~
, Yankees but what | mean to say Is,
!, that all this American money will in
|. time be used against the United
States, in a war which will be even
: more gigantic than the one between
Japan and my own country
!; 1t is the general opinion here that
a war between Japan and America
must come, if not over the Philip
pines which the Japanese hate to
see in American hands, than when
the subjects of the mikado try to
oust the United States from the mar
kets of the far east.
1t is not because of anv ill-will
, against America that Germans re-
joce at the growing estrangement be-
tween Americans and Japanese, but
because they would prefer to see a
war between those two people to one
between Germany and Japan, which
German statesmen have foreseen.

Apropos of Count Witte, have just
learned that he has been very busy
these last few months writing his
memories, a fact which proves be-
= yond all doubt that he has decided
never again to enter the arena of poll
itics.
His book. which he has arranged
to have published in Leipzig and Paris
10 avoid the Russian censorship, will
am told, contain startling revela-
tions about the revolutionary partys
intrigues and will show the czar in a
new light to the world. 1t will tell
the story of Car Mich olas' benevolent
= ambitions and his hopeless struggle to
give freedom to the people of Rus
sia in face of the threats of the bu-
reaucracy and the grand dukes.
The ex-premier, who Is anxious to
have his book appear in the English
language will also clear himself from
the charge of having been on the side
: of the bureaucracy when the famous
manifesto of last October was is
sued.
1t was to prevent the appearance Of
his memoirs that an attempt was re-
Gently made to assassinate him and
not as az first supposed, because the
> revolutionists desired to get him out
of the way.
Austria has more professors than
> she can find employment for. The
universities have been turning out
, highly educated young men and wom-
en- in such large numbers that the
T market is overstocked with doctors,
+ scientists and teachers.
/, The result is that many learned
| to M Cn
are actually starving. Young men
a with letters after their names are do
: ing junior clerks work for miserable
salaries, and any position requiring
: technical training is fought for by
/, crowds Of qualified men eager to work
/ for mere pittance.
. The excellent system of higher edu-
. cation in Austria and Germany (for
!. the same tale is heard in this city,
seems to have been overdone.
