GERMANS WATCHING
CAMPAIGN CLOSELY
Papers Are Carrying Long Cables
of the Political
Situation.

BERLIN, oct. 17.-Germans are taking
an unprecedented interest in the Ameri-
can election campaign. and the papers
are daily containing long cables with
the latest news OF the political situation.
The consensus Of opinion is that this
campaign will be the last tug OF war
~aged between the two great old par
ties, and that the proofs OF corruption
which have been the essential feature
OF the election will open the eyes Of the
American people. The growth OF the
Independence party has been watched
With intense interest, and various lead
ing papers have editOrially commented
upon the work done by the leaders Of
this new party. which has forced Presi-
dent Roosevelt. Taft. and Bryan to fol-
low its dictates.
leading Berlin paper says that when
the next Presidential campaign comes
four years hence the lines separating
the Republican and Democratic parties
Will have beel wiped out, a new con
servative party will have been formed
and the struggle viii be between that
party which will represent openly the
trusts ard the Independence and labor
parties.

DEATH OF MENELIK
WOULD MEAN FIGHT
Civil War Likely If Rumor
Is True-Trouble Over
SuccesSorShip.

ROME, Oct 17-Should todays rumor
of the death OF Emperor Menelik, Of
Abyssinia. prove true, it is certain that
a war will result over the successor
ship.
People with interests IN Abyssinias are
hoping that the report is untrue and
that the Emperor will live until his
grandson. Ras Lig JassOu. reaches his
majority.
Lig Jassou is Menelik's choice. and
is the grandson of the late Empress
BAHAMA. Menelik's first wife. Taitou,
MeneHk's s present wife, can't bear the
thought of seeing her predecessors line
reach the throne.
The real revolt against Lig, however.
is led by the Abyssinian national party,
which objects to him on account of his
reputed pro-European sympathies. The
national party wants Abyssinia for
Abyssinians alone, and win not sub
NIT to the successoTship Of Llg with
out a fight.
Empress TaitOU and the natlonalists
are working together. It is barely pos
sible that the nationalists win declare
TatiOu the Empress when Menelik dies,
is he is not already dead.

English Press Gets Shivers
OUer the American Campaign
Methods Employed by Uncle Sans Journalists in Hand
ling News of Candidates Cause Editors to Sit
Up and Wonder.

LONDON. Oct. 17.-British newspaper
men are having chilis over the way the
American press handles the Presidential
campaign.
To see such stories In print produces
in them about the same sensations they
would feel watching a great city
destruction by an earthquake. the sink
ing of an ocean liner with all or board,
or the ravages OF pestilence i'll q
thiCkly settled country.
II English journals published one
tenth the accusations ard counter accu-
sations incidental to the Hearst-ROose-
velt-Taft-Bryan -Haskell-ArCh
bOld-du Pont controversy. the courts
would be busy with libel suits for years.
It's almost a foregone conclusion that
a British newspaper must pay damages
il any one takes the trouble to sue il.
The mere fact that it told q true story
doesn't help 1t a bit If anyOne's busi-
ness or feelings suffered, the paper must
foot the bill.
When a British court renders 5udg-
ment against an editor, its idea is TO
make it a good one. so hen remember
to be careful next time.
The soap interests. for instance, sued
the Harmsworth publications about a
year ago because the latter accused
them of trying 70 form trust. 1t is
estimated in legal and newspaper
circles that the damages and costs
totaled S2.5DO,000.
Nobody ever inquired whether the soap
interests really tried to form trust.
The Harmsworth publications them
selves didn't bother TO raise the point.
They knew it wouldn't constitute a de-
fense.
The soap interests merely set forth
what had been said, convinced the court
that the remarks panied them greatly
and got their money.
Politicians are even more eagerly alert
than business men to take advantage OF
the libel laws. They are forever want
ing vindicatiOn Of something or other
and a libel suit is such an easy and 50
certain a way to get it.
Makes Newspapers Cautious.
The result Of all this has been tc make
the average British editor an ultra
cautious, not to say d professionally
servie, Individual. He knows he is
pra ctically certain Of defeat in whatever
difficulty he may become involved and
hesitates a long time before he makes
an editorial observation which can pos
sibly give OfRense.
Deeply as the British yellow press
is hated. the feeling against II ism {
nearly rs strong as against American
newspapers.
The mere fact that few Of The haters
ever saw an American paper is. of
course, Irrelevant.
And when they got 10 printing stories

plimentary-abOut the British naval

have recently been hiring lot Of
Americans to make them yellOwer, and
suspicion that these Americans were
responsible for he offensive publica-
tons naturally aggravated the crime.
No English reporter would dare 70
give out such Information.
1t seems to have happened. something
like this:
An English newspaper would send a
reporter aboard the flagship TO watch
fleet maneuver. AS he started down
the ladder. when everything was over.
the admiral would stop him.
''Of course, you'll print nothing con
corning the sinking OF the destroyer
Squirtfire in connection with his
majesty's battleship DrynHmore," the
admiral would say.
Certainly not" the reporter would
answer. L wouldn't think Of revealing
confidential information concerning his
majestys navy"
Il knew l could depend on you," the
admiral would comment Perhaps 1t
would also be well TO omit reference
TO the explosion in the turret of his
majesty's cruiser John O'Groat with
the loss Of seventeen lives"
Reporter Ready to Agree.
by all means" the reporter would
agree. THE circumstance Is plainly
one with which the general public
has no concern"
And I need hardly remind YOU" the
admiral would add that it would be
injudiclous TO speak Of the total loss
Of submarine X23. with all on board"
quite So the reporter would as
sure him. You may rely on my dis
cretion."
His discretion, however, would be the
very thing on which the admiral
couldn't rely. His intentions would be
good. but not his judgment
Back in his office, he would turn out
a thrilling story Of the maneU vers, with
every possible item Of interest care
fully eliminated, and just as he was
finishing, an American would stroll UP
and casually inquire how ne enjoyed
himself abOardship.
Upon which the guileless Euglishman
would tell all about everything. men
tiOning. as matter of scientific rather
than news interest, that the SQuirtfire
was sunk, the John O'GrOats turret
blown OF, and the X23 lost. with all on
board.
but It isn't we'll for the public 10
know of al these little mishaps" he
would conclude. The information IS
quite confidential"
AnG the next day the American pa
pers would print the whole story.
That's why the admiralty has decided
to keep reporters of the Warships en-
urely during future maneUvers.
