BERLIN, April 27.-Foreseeing evil
IDENTIFY that a war with> Great Britain
must come sooner or later, the German
government is doing everything 10
strengthen her coast defenses, and work
on the naval vessels now under con-
s-uction is being hurried as much as
possible without arousing too much sem
sation.
A 6rst-class torpedo station is being
constructed at Emden, the German post
nearest the English coast; and on top
of this news. which was largely COM

the report that the rocky island Of He'll

the English, who owned the island until

The government plans OF fortifying
HeliGoland have been kept a deep secret
and even at the present time the au-

AMERICAN TASTE

Composer Finds Audiences

Appreciative.

PARIS. April Z7--Slgnor Puccini, like
Saint-Saens. is delighted with America
and the American public. He has just
returned 10 italy from his tour In the
United States. and he is enthusiastic
on the performances Of opera IN New

He SAYS Americans are the best crit

speaks OF the refinement OF American

denim anything which has not been pre-
pared with the greatest care.

SLIGHT INCIDENTS
CAUSE WAR TALK

PARIS. April E.--With peace confer
ences ending and about to come. the po-
litical situation is nevertheless anything
but reassuring. and there are rumblings
from the great vocanO on which we,
here in Europe, live which are signs OF
the struggle between the nations many
think must come and bring about re-
adjustment OF things before we dare
hope for universal peace.
II is not that there are any acute
symptoms Of any great Importance, but
the great nations all armed TO the teeth
are all living IN a state of suspense
which is exceedingly painful
II may be said without any prejudice
that the whole situation ceuters around
the Kaiser. who, witLNut any intention
on his part. is Away. wearing a chip
on his shoulder which is eyed with sus-
piciOn by oil the other powers.
The least little thing is apt TO disturb
the German war lords mental equilib-
rum. and he sees evil intentions IN incl
dents which are in themselves small and
insignificant.
Thus the meeting between King Ed
ward and King Victor Emanuel caused
the Kaiser much uneasiness. and this
was. as always, reflected In the German
press. which used columns TO express an
act which to any unprejudiced observer
was nothing but an act Of Doliteness.
without any political significance.
To make matters worse, the French
minister OF war, General Picquart, chose
this time 10 inspect the fortress of Bel
port, and in his automobile drove for
miles along the German frontier.
The Kaiser has done the same thing
time and again without causing any but
the most casual comment In the French,
but with the tables turned the whole
German press Is in turmoil of excite
ment
With bitter feelings in England against
Germany because of that country's inva-
sion Of the British sphere of influence in
Persia. with Abdul Hamid nearing the
end Of his days in Turkey. with Russia
in a state of revolt and the peasants
desperate from starvation, with the
kaleidoscope Empire Of Austria only
held together by the love OF its old
EmperOr's person, with the powers OF
the Triple Alliance distrusting one an
other. and Alsace-Lorraine as an insur-
mountable wall in the path of Franco
German friendship. The Hague eace
Conference cannot drive away the
clouds which are again gathering on the
political sky.

WOMEN WINNERS
Of PRIX De Rome
Four Artists Gain Privilege

PARIS, April Z7.-For the first time
since its foundation. the Prix de Rome
has been awarded TO four women. Ten
women presented themselves for this
distinction. but the jury only retained
four, which are: For tie Grand Prix

The eldest OF those distinguished pu-
pills is twenty-six years old and the
youngest only twenty-one. Winners OF
this scholarship are entitled 20 a resi-
dence IN the villa Medici.
The rFeministes' are triumphant and
declare that when a woman has the
same advantages allowed her as have
men then they can do better shan can
any man. They claim that women are
more painstaling and conscientious. and
moreover have as much natural talent
as men. but the effect Of centuries OF
repression is still manifested in her.
This can be eradicated by education on
equal lines. they say.

OPERA REVEALS
DELIGHT LONDON

LONDON. April 27.-The phenomenon
OF the theatrical season has undoubtedly
been the marvellous success which has
attended the revival Of the Gilbert and
Sullivan operas at the Savoy Theater
which IS nightly crowded with entEus-
lasts. Mrs. D'Oyly Carte. who managed
the theater even in her late husbands
time, has candily told her friends that
she never dreamed OF such success Mr.
Gilbert on the other hand was optimistic
from the first and attributes the boom
to the fact that the public are firing Of
trashy musical comedies.

Doumer and dVESOumelIeS
Not Prominent Statesmen,
De CaStelLane Contends
By The MARQUIS DE CAsTELLANE.

PARIS, April 27.-Paul Doumer. for
mer president of the chamber OF depu-
ties. and Baron d'EstOurnelles de Con-
slant. French delegate to The Hague
conference. who took advantage Of
their Easter vacations TO make trip
to America. are delighted with their ex-
periences there
The manner in which they were re-
celved and the attention showered on
them by President Roosevelt show that
the Americans regard them as real
statesmen capable Of one day attaining
to high power.
This belief, however, is very far from
the truth, and those who feted and ad-
mired them should be warned against
believing in future greatness for them,
which neither viii ever reach.
Paul Doumer is. in the vulgar phrase,
done for" Held in suspicion by men
OF his own political faith for having had
the courage 70 point out to them what
lie considered faults they were commit
ting against good sense and liberty. he
has also not been able to resist the en-
nifty OF the Conservative party. and
hence it is that he cannot sany more
aspire to hold high official position in
councils OF the state.
As to d'Estournelles &c Constant. as
he has never figured in prominent ranks
in any political scene-as at the last
Hague conference he was only the sec
ond fiddle to Leon Bourgeoise-he can
rot descend from any height The
French people hardly know him, and his
Republican colleagues in the Chamber
of Deputies look upon him as an incor-
rigible dreamer perpetually wrapped in
the clouds of his own visions.

THINKING HORSE
THOUGHT READER

BERLIN. April ,g6--A curious theory
81 put forward by Prof oscar Pfngst
Regarding the thinking horse" Hans.
which astonished the Berliners when it
was exhibited some time ago.
Prof Pfurgst who is an eminent
PSYCHOLOGIST gives an explanation Of
Hans calculating powers, which denies
that the horse arrived at correct re-
suits by actual independent mental
process. but gives the animal credit for
unusual intelligence for an equine.
In the course Of his experiments with
Hans. the professor found that the
horse got his answers from the ques-
tioner himself and that it was not even
Necessary to speak the questions as
long as he kept the answer steadily in
his own mind
Clues were indeed given TO Hans ny

SPANISH UNIFORM
FOR KING EDWARD

LONDON, April 27.-Just before the
kins lett BiarTitz his majesty received
another uniform-that Of n Spanish gen.
eral-to add 90 his already burdensome
collection. King Alfonso. like other
monarchs, is compelled to pay these
compliments to King Edward, but this
exchange Of uniforms is becoming a per
fest nuisance to all the sovereigns of
Europe
King Edwards valet feels the nuisance
more than any one else. for il is his
duty to know how every button should
go and just where the sash should be
taken across the shoulder and how the
straps should be buckled. On the aver
age King Edward receives a new uni
form every month. The head valet en-
cages in long correspondence with the
tailor who Is responsible for it and
makes himself thoroughly acquainted
with every detail OF the dress.
The head valet is now dreading the
arrival of Servian and Roumanian uni
forms. which may be expected as the re-
suit of the Balkan States exhibition.
shortly to be opened here.

ship by Admiral Marquis and Admiral
