TERM APPLIED TO Won BERN
SToRFF BY GERMAN PRESS.
His .'Genrfiection Before the Mon

Criticised.

Special Cahlesram to The Star.
BERLIN. November lathe speech
of Count Won Bernstorff. the German
ambassador to the United States, at
Philadelphia last Saturday. in which
he said that Germany is not seeking
land in her world policy. is by no means
received with unqualified approval In
Germany.
The Hamburger Nachrichten devotes
n page editorial to the condemnation Of
the ambassadors speech. The article
declares that it seems to he more evil
dent every day that the representatives
OF the German empire at Washington
believe IL to be their mission to explain
TO the United States continuously that
thew have nothing to fear from Ger
many's policy. but, on the contrary.
that Germany knows no higher aim
than to inspire every confidence and
give every satisfaction to the Yankees.

chancellor by Emperor William. and
Count Won Bernstorff follows IN the
footsteps Of the late Baron Won stern

Germany to Be Feared.
1T il better that We should be feared
abroad than to have it believed that we
are going about begging people to be
good to us. 1t is true that this Is not
the modern tendency of politics. but IL
has an advantage-it has been tested and
found to hold good in the past
The Nachrichten Is especially severe In
its comments on Count Won Bernstorn
"genufection before the Monroe doctrine
which causes IL grave misgivings IL re.
calls Prince Bismarck's qualification OF
the doctrine as most incredible Ameri-
can impertinence." and adds:
mo German statesman ought ever De
allowed to acknowledge the Monroe doc
trine in public speech on American soil.
But that is Just what Won BernstOrff has
done he adding that the Germans are
well aware of the Monroe doctrines posi-
ton, and did not in the least wish for
territory on the western hemisphere.
why this superfiuous assurance and
recognition Of the Monroe doctrine which
IL implies? If irresponsible papers talk
about German intentions in Brazil be-
cause the German element happens to be
strongly represented there, there Is no
good reason why the German ambassa-
dor should make obeisance to the Monroe
doctrine and solemnly declare that Ger
many would not violate IL for the world"
There is. on the other hand. In another
section of the press some evidence of
desire TO seek some sort of a real under
standing in place of the grave tension
between Germany and Great Britain.

CHILDREN'S SMILES.

Philadelphia has taken the lead in keeping children off
the streets In place of barren vacant lots where bad Ian
gnage and bad morals bred into the child mind beau
tfu gardens of flowers and of vegetables have
sprung up as by magic under childish care.
Here is way of dealing with the Stun problem, al
ways serious in that other cities would do welt
to follow Sometimes few of the tens of thousands from
the enemens may be taken for day in the country They
wonderful trees and horses and green fields then
return to the sums full of wonder but with little real
the future.
In Philadelphia it's different AS school is
the children get their spades rakes and hoes and start
attack on the vacant lots Each child is his boss He
raises whatever he peases and the result is something
worth while
The child gets fresh air while watching the onions
sprout pleasant and heathful exercise by pulling up
weeds and keeping the garden cean and finally sub
stanta financial gain when the vegetables raised and
sold.
The beauty of it is it doesn't cost anybody anything
only little public spirit Here's good plan for property
owners here to follow.
