WHAT ALLIED DR.. HILL.
Kaiser Objected to Him Because He
Was Not Wealthy.

Washington, April 18.-"The objec-
ton to DR.. Hill as ambassador to Ber-
lin, was simply and solely that his pri-
waite fortune would not enable him tC
represent properly the dignity of the
American nation
This statement was made today in
the house by Mr.. Longworth (O.) SON.
in-law of President Roosevelt dur
ing the discussion of the diplomatic
appropriation bill. Mr.. Longworth
was making a plea for the mainten-
ance by the government of suitable
legation buildings at the various for
eign capitals. He referred to the
press dispatches stating that the Ger
man emperor had refused to accept
DR.. Hill and to the official denial
given to the publishes stories.
Nevertheless, Z" said Mr.. Long
worth, there is no doubt that there
was foundation for these stories be-
yond mere rumor and it is undoubted-
ly true that persons high in authority
in Germany for some time have been
saying that DR.. Hill was not persona
grata to the emperor"
These objections. however, he de-
clared, could not be because DR.. Hill
was not experienced in diplomacy nor
sufficiently learned in international
law, nor that he was not sufficiently
able and representative. They were,
he asserted, due entirely to the fact
that because ne was not sufficiently
well off to pay the difference between
the amount paid him as salary and
the amount necessary to maintain his
position as ambassador he would not
only be unable to keep up such an es-
Establishment as that of the present am
bassador, but would not be able to
keep any establishment at all.
Mr.. Longworth said without going
into the question as to whether Mr..
Tower had maintained too luxurious
an establishment that everybody
would concede that the American am
bassador to Germany should at least
have a house to live in and not be
compelled to live in a hotel or a fiat.
at Is no excuse he said, that
We do not act because the financial
conditions do not warrant the ex-
pense. An office holding aristocracy
is bad enough in any country, when
based on birth and blood, but when
based on wealth it is infinitely worse
and worse than all in republic. 1
would say that any amount of money
was we'll spent for uprooting such a
system from this country

ABRUzZI UNDER ORDERS
Italian Squadron to Make Demon
stratfon In Turkish Waters.

Rome. April 1s-Orders have been
issued for an Italian squadron to make
a demonstration in Turkish waters, the
reason being that Turkey has objected
to the opening of Italian postofices in
Turkish territory such as are main
tanned by other countries. rms pro
nosed demonstration is in no way con-
nected with the TripoH situation which
arises from the murder of an Italian
missionary and the persecution by the
Ottoman authorities of natives VINO

The hattleship commanded by the
duke of the Abruzzi forms part Of the
SQUADRON. Orders have been issued
for the duke to be ready to sail with

grown up between professors and cir
Gus men that they are now enjoying
an extremely profitable exchange of
knowledge.
Speaking of the work which the
school is accomplishing, M. Hachet-
Souplet said that he had double end
in view when he invited the trainers
to enter his faculty.
I'm the first place." he said, 81 be-
lieve that men brought up from early
youth in constant contact with Wild
animals are in a position to give much
more information concerning our les
ser brethren than men whose exper-
fence is purely academic. In the sec
ond place, we expect to create grad
ually an entirely new system of train
ing. Since we started this school we
have discovered many useful things
wholly unknown to even the most ex-
pert professionals. We have accom-
plished much without cruelty where
in many instances the old-fashioned
system was barbarous If most of the
trained animals now appearing in the
circuses of the world have been sub
mitted to martyrdom it is only due to
the ignorance of their professors.
Take, for example, the miserable
little dog which excels in what in
French circus slang is called the
Spanish STEP Since time immemorial
it has been the habit among trainers
to shave the hair from the back of
the dogs legs near the foot and burn
the naked skin. It was thought that
this was the only way by which the
dog could be made to raise its foot in
the way desired. We have taught
dogs to do the same thing by merely
making them repeat the process of
giving a paw such as any child
might do. This is merely one ex-
ample, but there are many others.
some of which are too horrible to
print"
M. Henri Fourier, a we'll known
animal trainer, who is taking great
interest in the new school. expressed
the opinion the other day that there
were no naturally savage beasts.
There are plenty of animals he
said, (which in their native state will
attack a man. but that IS for the sake
of getting something to eat. If these
same animals had been captured
young and given plenty to eat every
day, they would have no savage in
stincts-that is. hunger instincts
There are tigers and lions which have
bad dispositions, just as there are
dogs and cats which are not exactly
sociable; the only difference is that
the lions and tigers are bigger and
stronger, and hence more dangerous
you would be surprised to know
how many foolish questions are put to
us trainers by the gentle public. I
confess that some of my colleagues
are inclined to nourish popular SUI
perstitions. Thus, you will often see
trainer glare at a big cat which is
crouching in a corner. and from one
end to .he other of the benches you
will hear talk about his magnetic eye.
That's all a joke. A trainer who is
working twenty-five white bears, for
example. is not in the position to give
them all the magnetic eye at the
same time. These animals are COVER
ing, just as a dog would cover. be-
cause they have been beaten and
otherwise tortured. /, for one, do not
believe in brutality at all. 1t is all a
question of time and patience
