The German government has declin-

the capacity of American Ambassador
to succeed Charlemange Tower,
whose resignation has been accepted
take effect upon the qualification
of his successor. Hill as present is
minister to The Hague and former
ly first assistant secretary of state
under Secretary Hay.
The objection TO Hill is purely per-
sonal to Emperor William. The rea-
son for the Emperor's objection is
connected with a visit to America
several years ago of his brother,
Prince Henry. Hill at that time was
first assistant secretary of state and
was necessarily brought into official
contact with the Prince. Just what
he did or did not do to give offense
is not known here.

BURGLARS and The Unwritten Law

When l reached my
room | need not say that
| managed some way to
pull my trunk across the
closed door, and retired,
feeling only comparative
ly safe.
Nothing happened. 1
oversight myself; and
when l took my place at
the breakfast table |
found my adventure of
the night before the
source of much merri-
ment.
81 don't quite under
stand?" l asked, looking
from one to another.
One kindly old gentle
man then explained to
me that they have a law
in North Carolina max
ing burglary a capital
offence; the punishment.
death. Aboutitwenty years
before, one misguided
burglar, caught in the act,
had been executed and
since that day there had
been no occasion for door
Key or aOindoao locks.
He further explained
that the law was based
upon the assumption that
when a thief entered a
house to steal, he was
armed ready to kill If he
was disturbed. If he was
killed the house holder
was held immune; If he
was caught alive he was
subject to the death pen
atty.
This explanation lodged
in my mind, awakened a
train of thought concern
ing other offenses worse,
farther reaching in their
i'll effects, that might be
as Summarily checked by
