TARIFF FRICTION ENDS
HARVARD PROFESSOR DISCUSSES
GERMAN-AMERICA RELATIONS.

Special Cablegram to The Star.
BERLIN December 22-Professor Muens-
terberg of Harvard said to the correspond
ent of The Star today that tariff friction be-
tween the United States and Germany was
now thing of the past. All well informed
Germans, he said, share the opinion that
the tariff experts of the two countries will
be able to readjust commercial relations on
a mutually satisfactory footing. This feel
ing, which Is reflected in influential Ger
man circles, said the professor, demon
strateS that the action of America in send
ing tariff commission to Germany was
master stroke in diplomacy and states
manship. The Germans recognize that
America did unique act of international
courtesy in appointing a commission to
visit Germany, inasmuch as fundamentally
Germanys interests and not Americas are
at stake. and diplomatic usage would
quire that a German commission should
visit the United States.
Prof. Muenstenberg added that President
Roosevelt said to him a few days before
he left for Europe that his prime object
in Sanctioning the commission was as much
to demonstrate practically America s friend
ship and sympathy as to protect Americas
business interests. When asked about the
alleged remarks of Prof. Burgess in Berlin
to the effect that the Monroe doctrine was
superannuated, Prof. Muensterberg said:
The Monroe doctrine is an article of
faith which every American believes in,
and one in hundred understands. AS to
Germanys attitude, America will some day
learn that the fatherland has no designs
whatever on the doctrine. and that modified
German emigration to South America is
blessing and not a curse. Germany be
came suspect III American national char
acter, which forces it at all times to seek
a target. First it was England, then Ger
many and now Japan Leading Germans
are satisfied that mistrust of their integ-
rty on the subject of the doctrine must
shortly disappear.

Special Cablegram to The Star.
LONDON December 22-Dr. Green, sur
geon of the Bristol Hospital for Children,
describes in the Lancet remarkable case
of restoration of the heart action by means
of massage after apparent death. The pa
tlent. a boy of nine, suffered from a COM
plant which necessitated an operation.
Chloroform was administered and the oper-
alton commenced. There was difficult
breathing and finally the respirations ceased
and no heart sounds were audible. Hot tow
els were applied and injections of strychnine
used but without success. Finally twenty
five minutes after the heart had stopped
DR. Green decided to apply direct compress
sion TO the organ. An opening was made
sufficient to admit the right hand.
The heart was found TO be quite immobile
and facid. The doctor began rhythmical
compression. with the right hand pressing
the hearts lower surface and the left hand
outside. The rate of compression was about
seventy a minute. For two minutes
this was done without appreciate effect.
Then the doctor grasped the apex of the
heart in his right hand and continued in
termittent compression. Soon a slight fut-
tering of the heart was noticed, the pupils
OF the eyes contracted and within few
seconds the heart began to beat forcibly
with more than normal vigor.
Meanwhile artificial respiration had been
continued all the time and within short
period after the restoration OF the pulse
spontaneous breathing asserted itself. grad
ually becoming regular. In ten minutes the
heart and lungs performed their functions
in a normal manner, though the patient had
not recovered consciousness and sensibility
indeed never returned. The patient devel-
oped spasms early the next morning and
the heart beats and respiration had been re-
established.
