DIR. HILL and BERLIN.
Foreign office Not Kept Fully In
formed of EmperOr's 1CtS.

Rerlin March oS-The Foreign Office Is prac-
tically silent to-day regarding Emperor Will
Jams messages to President Roosevelt IN the
matter of the appointment of DR.. David Jayne
Hill to succeed Charlemagne Tower as Amer
lean Ambassador to Germany. 1t has, however,
given an intirnation TO the Berlin newspapers
that Mr.. Tower is not to be attacked. and 1t
explains that its denials of the last few days
have only been intended to make clear that no
official expressions adverse TO DR.. Hill have
gone through the usual channels OF the German
government TO Washington
An experienced observer said to-day that the
explanation of the disavowas of the Foreign
Ohce in the matter Of the appointment OF Dr.
Hill was TO be found in the desire of the re
sponsibe officials Of the department to have
tie Emperor always keep it informed OF his
important communications to ambassadors. This
is the traditional practice. but the Emperor oc-.
casionally fails 10 observe il. One such instance
occurred in June 1906. when his majesty told
General de la Croix, the French delegate 10 the
wedding of the German Crown Prince. his views
concerning the Moroccan situation. These were
not communicated 10 Chancellor Won Bulow. and
he did not hear OF them until the following
September. and then through the French For
eign Office Other and less important Instances
of this custom have occurred since
The Chancellor and the Foreign Secretary take
the position that they cannot be of1cialiy IN
formed OF the Emperor's acts unless he informs
them himself Applying this rule 10 the present
instance. the Foreign ONCE declined TO recos-
nize the fact that Emperor William sent a mes
sage to President Roosevelt through Mr.. Tower,
although it may have known indirectly that
such was the case The Foreign Off1ce UP 10
to-day has acted solely upon its records:
II Is now understood that His Majesty has been
communicated with. and a result it is likely
that the Foreign Office will modify its attitude
on the receipt of instructions from Venice, where
the Emperor now is

ferriug 10 allegations published in various news

correct course in the matter Of the refusal OF the
Emperor TO accept DIR. Hin as the new amhassa-
dor TO Germany prints evidently inspired dis
patch from Berlin in which it says:

Of Il friendly power should make US very careful
in adopting such criticisms.
The dispatch concludes with tho following
authoritative statement Of the Foreign Office:

CHAPTER XXI.
The Fiqkt in the Valley.

Far below, in the heart of the sunny
depression bordering the left bank OF
the Little Big Horn, the stalwart
troopers under Reno's command gazed
up the steep bluff to wave farewell to
their comrades disappearing to the
right. Last Of all, Custer halted his
horse an instant, silhouetted against
the blue sky, and swung his hat be-
fore squirting out Of sight.
The plan OF battle was most simple
and direct. 1t involved a nearly sim
ultaneous attack upon the vast Indian
village from below and above, success
depending altogether upon the prompt
cooperation of the separate detach-
ments. Scarcely had Clusters slender

WOOD PRODUCTION
in GERMANY

Among all the nations OF the world
Germany receives the credit Of being
the most thoroughly scientific. She
does with her limited natural re-
sources what younger nations will
soon be compelled TO do in self-protec-
tlon; she conserves them.
When our wood supplies, stored up
from 100 TO 500 years. are within sight
OF their end, and sawmills that have
been moved from the white pine belt
OF the north to the yellow pine belt
OF the south have been moved to the
Pacific coast for their last stand. then
Germany's scientific forestry policy
will receive better recognition.
We do not think Of moving a grlst
mill about from one wheat field to an
other, as the fields in turn become ex-
hausted. After one crop is harvested
another is coming on. SO II must be

his impatience, strobe back across the

women, they swore through clinohed
teeth, they openly exhibited their con

discipline of army service made active
disobedience impossible. They went
reluctantly back, as helpless as chill
dren.
II was four o'clock, the shadows OF
the western bluffs already ddrkenIng

ran along the lines, and the men lifted
themselves to gaze up the river. Urg-
ing the tired animals TO a trot, the
strong hand OF a trooper grasping

Nearly everybody knows that char
coal is the safest and most efficient
dlsinfectant and purifier in nature, but
few realize its value when taken into
the human system for the same cleans
ing purpose.
Charcoal is a remedy that the more
you take of it the better; Ii is not a
drug at all, but simply absorbs the
gases and impurities always present
in the stomach and intestines and car
ries them out of the system.
Charcoal sweetens the breath after
smoking. drinking or after eating on
ions and other odorous vegetables.
Charcoal effectually clears and inn
proves the complexion. 1t whitens the
reeth and further acts as natural and
eminently safe cathartic.
II nbsorbs the injurious gases which
collect in the stomach and bowels; II
disinfects the mouth and throat from

All druggists sell charcoal in one
