EUROPE WATTS
FOR UNCLE SAM
OLD WORLD POWERS EAGER TO
KNOW WHAT UNITED STATES
STATES WILL DO IN CUBA
Britons Believe Young Republic is Fall
ure and viii Have to Come Under
the Rule of the Stars and Stripes
Powers Silent.

London, Aug. 27.-London seems to
be living over again the days that
preceded the Spanish-American war.
Cuba, insurgents, machetes-all the
old familiar catchwords once more fig-
ure prominently in the newspapers,
and once more Europe asks what
America is going to do. The tone in
which that question is asked is very
different from the tone of 1898. Then
there were indignant discussions at
foreign chancelleries, secret exchanges
between nations, and plans for effectu-
ally putting a damper upon the west
ern republic. Even Americas friends,
while admitting her right to teach
Spain lesson, doubted her ability to
administer punishment.
Is All Changed.
Today it is all changed. America has
taken her place among the world-pow-
ers and no hand in Europe is raised
to interfere with such action as she
may think best. There is very nat
ural anxiety for trade and dread lest
stringent tariff walls may be built up
around Cuba, but nothing more. Eng
land, which is more concerned than
any other power, would not raise fin
ger or whisper protest should the
American people decide that Cuba,
having been given trial of self-gov-
eminent and found wanting, must now
come under the stars and stripes. In
deed, apart from the trade question
mentioned, such action would bring
with it sense of security. The Cuban
native has never enjoyed the conf
dence Of the Cuban business men and
under American rule the large English
investments in the island would be
safer even if high tariffs reduced the
volume of British exports.
European Powers Are Silent.
AS for the continental powers which
eight years ago secretly menaced
4 Americas freedom of action in West
| India waters, they are as silent as the
grave. Their welcome of any actor
/. Washington may see fit to take is like
ly to be as vociferous as was their dis
approval when congress declared wal
on Spain. 1t was only the utter lacl
of hostility which emphasized the tire
mendous changes that have occurred
since 1898. There is noticeable on al
sides an absence of distrust. Europe
has seen America make her opportun
tiles and then take advantage of then
sanely and justly. Few continental
powers believed that America, if shs
conquered Spain, would ever gran
Cuba self-government. The way il
which America has utilized her newly
acquired world power and treated thu
colonies won by conquest, though !;
has been subjected to academic criti
cism, has removed all fear that Amer
lea contemplates reckless territoria
aggrandizement. To appreciate hov
Eurores attitude toward America hal
changed since 1898, you must be her

hen is a very large ore, and of
course lays very large eggs. She
does not lay but three eggs each
week, but then one of them would
make two of an ordinary hens egg.
Wedne sday morning she laid an
extra large one of the softshell,
double yolk variety, and her extra
loud cackles attracted the attention
OF one of Mr.. IIolt's daughters. Up
on going to the hen house the child
discovered the large egg. and some
thing else. Running with all haste
possible to the house she called her
mamma and told her that the chick
on had wrote the word Roosevelt
on the egg. Upon close eXamiua-

could discern very plainly the print
ell letters mentioned by the child.

on exhibition at the post office and
is very proud to be the owner of
