FACING BIG PROBLEM
DEVELOPMENT OF COLONIES Es-
SENTIAL TO GERMANY.

BERLIN. January 12-Coloniai Director
Dernburg explained the foundation of En-
peror Williams so-called 'weltpoIitfk"
tworid policy last evening at the conyen-
ton of the German chamber OF commerce.
Laying great stress upon the colonial en-
terprise of Germany and the development
of her colonies. Herr Dernburg said:
The German colonial question is the
question of the future of national lab Dor
the question of the bread of millions of in
dustrial workers and the question OF the
employment of German capital in trade.
production and navigation"
In the presentation of the facts leading
up TO these conclusions Herr Dernburg
said that the English speaking nations of
the world in the middle of the eighteenth
century number 9G99o0, and the German
speaking nations at the same period num-
bered D.O0o.000. Today I2oG,D.0o spoke
English and only 7O.OoO.0pO spoke German.
Germany had lost a position of relative i'm
portance in the world because she had no
colonies and was dependent more than eyer
on other countries for raw materials and
food supplies.
American Development
Herr Dernburg described the rapid develop
ment of the United States and its increasing
economic Importance and commercial in
fuence throughout the western hemisphere.
to the detriment of European nations Light
and electrical power plants in Brazil had
passed from German into American hands:
great mining undertakings on the Pacific
coast of South America were in the hands
OF the citizens of the United States: Japan
and the United States were favored by
shorter freight routes and were thus gain
ing on Germany in supplying the Chinese
market, and the planters of the southern
states of the United States were trying To
arrange for the control of the price of
cotton. the advance of / cent per pound
meaning an added cost of S,DoOoOp0 marks
to the worlds manufactures.
The colonial director discussed in detail
the probability of supplying Germany's
needs. such as cotton. copper. rubber petro-
leum, rice. coffee ol-yielding fruits hemp
wool, etc, from her colonies, claiming that
all the German colonies. including German
Southwest Africa, afforded good prospects
for cotton culture.
Herr Dernburg added that the colonies
were powerful strategic and practical
weapons when it became necessary to make
arrangements with other countries for
reciprocal trade in raw materials and fin-
ished products.

DESK OF DIRECTOR OF MANUAL
TRAINING IN SCHOOLS.

Mr.. J. A. Chamberlain. director of man
training in the local public schools, whose
office has been at the Mckinley Manual
Training School since that building has
been occupied for school purposes. has since
day before yesterday been using a desk In
a corner of the library at the Franklin
School. after having been moved out OF his
quarters at the Mckinley School on orders
from Superintendent Chancellor.
1t is stated on the best authority that
teacher reported to the superintendent that
Mr.. Chamberlain was meddling In anairs
at the Mckinley Manual Training Sehcoi
too extensively and was interfering with
the supervision of the school by Principal
Myer. Acting upon this advice. 1t is sald the
superintendent summary ordered that Mr.
Chamberlain'S effects be removed from tne
building His office furniture was carried
out into the street and then taken to the
Franklin school. where there was no room
for it-eXcept for the desk which he now
occupies, as stated, in corner of the
library
Size of Office.
Mr.. Chamberlain as the director of man.
ual training. had Office of considerable
size in ,.e Mckinley tuilding, and his pr, =
ent quarters are a great contrast IN their
want of size and convenience.
When this action was taken. it is under
stood that Mr. Cham Derialn went ulFecti!
to DR.. Chancellor and learned from him that
some one had made compia Mt against his
actions at the Mckinley. and that he sub
sequently learned from Principal Myer him
self that he -ad made no complaint against
Mr. Chamberlain and had no reason
Mr. Chamberlain naturally feels keenly
that the removal of his Office should have
been accomplished in the manner stated
and without any consultation with MN, ana
that he is now unprovded with an office.

about the matter this afternoon and he said
that he had not complained against Mr..
Chamberlain Why Mr.. Chamberlain was
removed precipita tely to the Franklin.

known by Mr.. Myer.
Mr.. Chamberlain said he was cry, very
much surprised at the action, when inter-
viewed by a Star reporter, but said he
knew nothing about the reasons which
actuated the superintendent to make the
change so quickly and without providing
for him.

GOING TO CANADA
SECRETARY AND MRS. ROOT TO
LEAVE NEXT THURSDAY.

Secretary Root and Mrs Root will leave
here next Thursday, the 18th, for Otta wa.
Canada, to pay a social visit to Lord
Grey, governor general of Canada, and
Lady Grey. whose guests they will be
until the following Monday. the 2ist. Sec
rotary Root said today that his visit to
Lord Grey was purely social, and had no
relation whatever to the political and COM
mercial questions awaiting settlement be-
tween Great Britain and the United States.
Notwithstanding this general disclaimer,
the impression prevails that the two dis
tinguished officials will undoubtedly i'm
prove the occasion to consider the best
means Of securing satisfactory settle
ment of the international questions which
have been a source of irritation for SO
many years past. 1t is intimated that the
meeting may possibly lead to the negota-
ton of a treaty for the settlement of all
outstanding differences between the do
minion government and the United States.
1t is even asserted in some quarters that
the real purpose of Secretary Roots pro-
posed trip to Ottawa is to bring about a
better understanding among the conflict
Ing interests SO that each may make con-
cessions to the extent of compromise.
Secretary Root made similar visit to
the Dominion capital last year with view
to the settlement of the issues between
Canada and the United States, and it is
SAID tfat ms proposed NlSlt is partly In
furtherance of a plan to have the negotia-
tons conducted more directly with the
Canadian government, leaving the find
ings however, subject to the approval of
the British government.
British Press Comm ent Favorable.
LONDON, January 12-The coming visit
of Secretary of State Root to Earl Grey.
governor general of Canada, elicits favora-
BILE comment by officials and in the British
press. The opinion expressed is that the
visit foreshadows letter relations between
the United States and Canada, which were
considerably improved the result of the
governor generals tour of the United States
last year. Great Britain is extremely anx-
ious for final settlement of all outstand-
ing questions with the United States, most
of which permit of an early agreement, but
the sealing and Newfoundland fisheries
questions stand in the way. While it is
stated that Mr.. Roots visit is purely one
of courtesy. the impression here is that it
will afford an opportunity to go over these
and other long-pending controversies be-
tween Canada and the United States, and
perhaps smooth the way for general
agreement.

after cattle into surrounding counties.
Into this reckless but verdant com.
munity there came the smooth

WIGS NOW MADE OF GLASS.
Lack of the Genuine Article Forces
Use of Novel Substitute.

London.-The enormous feminine
demand for artificial coils and tou-
pees is leading to famine in human
hair. Formerly Swiss, German and
Hungarian girls supplied the world
of fashionable women with luxuriant
tresses of all tints.
But the governments of many coun-
tries are now making it illegal for a
girl to sell her hair or for any agent
to buy it. The supply in consequence
is running short, and the prices Of
real hair are trebling.
A series of successful experiments
point to spun glass as the most eff
fectiye substitute for human hair.
Wigs made from spun glass are won
derfully light and fine and the tex
ture soft and beautiful.
1t is easy to produce any shade de-
sired. while curls and waves can be
manufactured at will to suit the fash
ion of the moment. The imitation is
so realistic and true 70 life that it is
impossible to detect the difference
between it and real hair grown on the
head.

TALL PEOPLE LIVE LONGEST.
Cleveland Health Officer Says Germs
Can't Climb Up to Their Noses.

Cleveland, O.-Health Officer Mar
tin Friedrich, of this city advances a
new germ theory that is certainly en-
couraging to people who are tall.
BLESSED are the tall" says Fried
rich, "for they shall live long. A six
footer," he continued, has more
chance to escape disease germs than
the little fellow. Those built close to
the ground must be on the lookout. +"
Friedrich was perusing the physi-
clans mortality reports, and noticed
a prevalence of children's diseases.
Out of &c cases of cerebro-spinal men
nights, or spotted fever, reported to
his department since January 1, all of
the victims have been children.
Il believe that most of tie disease
germs are close to the ground" he
said. 1--WE know that these germs are
taken into the system through the
nose in breathing. They find breed
ing place in the dirt of the streets,
and as they are stirred up by the pass
ing pedestrians, they are drawn into
the nose.
"The germs never reach any great
altitude. Most of them are falling
toward the earth, and as the chill.
dren's noses are closer to the ground
than those of adults, they are more
likely to inhale the disease-makers.

HORSE FOR THE MUSEUM.
skeleton of StonewaII Jackson's
Charger Is Secured.

Plttsburg, Pa.-With the great
mass of official business off his hands,
caused by the annual meeting of the
Museum Directors association, in this
city recently, DR.. w. J. Holland now
intends to devote himself to the
mounting of the many new finds made
within the last few months.
BY far the most interesting of
these, from a historical standpoint, is
the skeleton of Stonewall Jackson's
horse, which was secured by the d.
rector against much quiet but per-
sistent competition DR.. Holland will
prepare this exhibit with his own
hands, and 1t probably will be placed
in the museum within a fortnight. The
skeleton is said to be practically per-
feet.
The skeleton Of another famous war
horse of the rebellion, Winchester, the
charger of Gen. Phil Sheridan, in his
famous 2O-mile ride, is government
property, and is kept in the museum
on Governors island, in New York
harbor. This museum for long time
has been going to ruin through the
lack of an appropriation to keep it up,
and the hide Of the old war horse is
rapidly falling away from dry rot.
1t is possible that Winchester" will
be added to the Carnegie collection or
that both Jackson's and Sheridan's
horses will ultimately stand side by
side in national museum.
