sons consider that the appointment OF this
commission Is not necessarily indicative
Of the speedy handing over OF the gov

A FR|ENDL|ER
FEELING BETWEEN
j. s. AND GERMANY

Berlin. Jan. In an Interview yesterday
Prof Muensterberg OF Harvard univer-
shy said that lately there has been a
marked change for the better In the re-
lutions between Germany and the United
states. The condition was due 10 three
causes. First the popularity OF Baron
Won Sternburg. the German ambassador
especially his close familiarity with Pres
ident Roosevelt. secondly, because affairs
relating 10 America are now handled I'm
the ministry OF foreign affairs here by
Herr Busch. who for many years was sec
retary OF the legation al Washington. and
third, the growing antagonism between
America and Japan.
Formerly Americans believed that the
next nation they would have 10 meet i'm
war was Germany. Nov the Californian
question. the Philippines and the Sand
wich Islands all offered points of friction,
which might easily have serious conse-
quences The present. however, would be
a very unfavorable time for America TO
go TO war. he thought for the work at
PaEama was not ended and the American
feet was not complete.
Prof. Muensterberg suggested that
the sending OF James Bryce To America
as the ambassador OF Great Britain was
likely TO render Baron Won Sternburg's
task there more difficult inasmuch as
Mr.. Bryce enjoyed the sympathy Of all
Americans and must shortly take a
foremost place in diplomatic life in
Washington while Baron Won stern
burgs knowledge of American condi-
tions cannot be so ultimate as TO place
his personality on level with that Of
the author OF The American Common
wealth"
The professor declared that the re-
ports that he was intrusted with q
secret mission 10 the kaiser with
view 10 the conclusion OF secret
treaty between America and Germany
was pure fancy. He added that the
kaiser wanted TO larn only from IN
unofficial source the state OF public
opinion in the United States regarding
Germany

HIGGINS TAKES
OFFICIAL OATH

oath OF office and Gov Utter extended a
cordial hand of welcome
The other officers were then sworn In
by Gov Higgins and proclaimed: and
Gov Higgins then spoke as follows:
In "A communication which is now IN
the printers hands. and which YOU will
receive perhaps on Thursday. / have eX-
pressed 10 you my views and suggestions
on legislative subjects which may come
before you in the coming session But as
on Inauguration day little can usually he
considered other than the organization OF
both houses. / shall not review here the
subject matter OF that document.
I'VE convene today under circum-
stances which / hope may be auspicious.
This thought is suggested, not from a
spirit OF partisanship. but with a view Of
possible advantage 10 the entire state and
10 the whole people ! can recall but few
instances when a Rhode Island legisla-
ture assembled with greater responsible
ties.
1T is highly probable that questions Of
unusual interest and moment will receive
your attention. In the discussion OF such
questions IL IS likely that feeling may 3t
times run high but IL shall be a most
happy pleasure. II at the close OF the ses.
sion II can be recorded that In no single
instance have the bounds of fair debate
been transgressed, and that no personal
bitterness or antagonsm has been arouS-
ed.
The Rhode Island legislature enjoys an
enviable reputation for the personal amen
tiles which characterize its discussions
Let us hope that its reputation in this re-
speCt VIII be even increased at this ses-
sion and that while we may differ most
radically in our views on public matters
we can still retain for each other that
high esteem and consideration. which
ought 10 exist among the sovereign rep
resentatives OF a sovereign people
Il shall be happy TO receive during the
coming year the cooperation OF any
members Of this assembly. regardless OF
his party colors, and I wish 10 assure
YOU in all earnestness. that i'm everything
that touches the general welfare no
member OF the legislative department OF
this state government need approach the
threshold Of the executive chamber with
either misgiving or reluctance.
II trust. gentlemen. that our relations
will be most cordial and agreeable and
that our conduct i'm the next few months
may bring not only satisfaction to our
selves but profit and prosperity 10 the
half-million OF people whose sacred trust
we hold for the coming year.
The two houses then rose and separated; !;
and Mr.. Mcdonald seconded the resolution
OF Mr.. Rattey.
Mr.. Allen moved to lay on tho table,
anc this was carried
Mr. Allen moved to adjourn to tonor-
row at IL o'clock. Speaker Burchard was
disposed to refuse roll call on the de.
mand OF the minority, but finally did not
dare TO hold out i'm this high-handed pro-
cedure, and the roll call was ordered and
adjournment was voted

that the provisions OF the divorce law

SOME SUGGESTIONS
FOR THE NEW YEAR

Instead OF making impossible resolu-
tions in regard to reading a long list of
books, why is ii not a good idea TO write
down a list of the twelve months and put
opposite each the name of a single good
book that you might read To advantage?
Then resolve TO go through at least six
OF these leaving the other six to be aban
doned IL they do not prove what you ex-
pect, says Books and Reading" in jan
uary st. Nicholas. II your list is really
we'll chosen and you do read six good
books by the end OF the year you will
have done much for the cultivation OF a
taste for good reading-a taste unlike
many others that one will hardly ever
be able TO satisfy nor wish TO.
