NEW GERMAN RULE BARS TIPS


BERLIN, April l,--Of interest and
Importance to the large number Of
Americans who visit Germany are the
several new regulations which were
put in operation on all the German
railways today. Under the new order
OF things tipping OF railway em-
ployees on trains is absolutely prohib-
tied The law provieds fine for the
passenger giving the tip and dismis.
sal for the employee accepting the
bribe.
Among the other new rules in effect
is one making the railways respon-
sible for passengers baggage for
fourteen days and at all times re-
sponsible for baggage lost. Children
over 10 years will not be permitted
to travel in compartments reserved
for women. If a train is full, a travel
er, although he may have a ticket,
may be compelled to wait for the next
train.

PRESSING THE PRESS

Out here, at this remote rail-and-
sea-terminal Of Astoria, the impress
sion is taking ground that Brer' Har-
riman is rushing his press-bureau to
distraction. He is in the spotlight
with unfailing and extraordinary con-
spicuousness; and also, perhaps, a
purpose peculiarly his own. We ad
nit his claim to certain limit of pub
lie interest and record; but we think
the thing is being overdone by a
heavy (and inspired ratio. His every
act, and word, and so far as may be,
his every thought, is carried hot to
the wires of the land and transmitted
to the utermost corners Of the earth;
each paltry pain, and grimace Of pain;
every laugh and frown and "kingly"
humor Of the man, is sent hurting
over the press wires, and columns Of
commonplace matters are dished up
