GERMAN YOUNG men
HAVE NO CHANCES
Even Kaisers Own Son Held Back and Kept in Subsection
Country Is Distinctly One of Old Men and Result
Is Emigration to America and Elsewhere.

Germany is distinctly a land OF
old men. A nation Of laws and reg
ulations, of bureaucratic system and
rigid military discipline, it has the
strongest kind of aversion to trust
ing youths in positions Of impor-
lance and responsibility.
This is the reason, many Teutons
are beginning to say, why so many
thousands of brilliant young men
are continually leaving the father
land for countries where the reward
for their energy and talents may
be reaped before they are too old
to enjoy 1t.
SENIORITY Is STANDARD.
To be a hustler" in Germany Is
to incur the suspicion Of being an
adventurer. The German system
requires all things, inclusive Of hui
man genius, to be drilled and dis
ciplined, registered and classified,
held in check and controlled. for
the benefit of the community.
Every young German must be a
soldier. But he has no hope Of adj
vancement in the service until he
reaches late middle life. He may
be a born general. master OF
strategy, veritable Hannibal or
Napoleon, but he will find no OPP
portunity of displaying his genius
until long after all his youthful
energy has departed. Whatever
his qualities, he must pass through
all the stages Of the stereotyped
| military career until in strict order
! of seniority he rises to the top.

MEAT TO
Be SHIPPED To
ROME THIS YEAR

ROME, April 30.-The Tourists
association fears that the expected
crowd of foreigners in Rome next
year may find the city short of pro-
visions, so an attempt is to be made
to form company to supply Rome
through next year with frozen
meat from America. Efforts are
also being made to start vegetable
gardens near Rome. This, indeed,
would be an admirable thing, for
vegetables are few, bad and dear
in Rome, simply because the peo-
pie are too lazy to start vegetable
gardens in the Campagna. II pres
ent conditions continue 1t will be
impossible to feed the Romans
alone. to say nothing of the mil
lions of foreigners which the san
guine Italian expects to fleece. The
prices Of vegetables in Rome are
probably higher than in any other
city in the world.

fed from the semi-starving.
There are in the city of London
approximately 100000 inhabitants.
or these, the latest official Stats
tics set down 100000 as living in
poverty. When an English statis-
tician speaks of poverty he means
a degree of restitution which no
American can hardly understand.
Explanations are offered that do
not altogether explain the extra
ordinary prevalence of poverty in
England.
PARTIES BLAME EACH OTHER
Conservatives blame free trade.
Liberals say it is the fault OF the
House of Lords. Prohibitionists
attribute it to drink. Socialists
point the accusing finger at private
ownership. Currency experts, here
in the United States, find the
source of the evil in the overpro-
duction of gold.
Whatever the cause or the causes
may be the fact remains that bac-
on, the national breakfast dish,
has risen in price from IS to % cents
a pound in about six years; that
rump steak, which used to cost
20 cents a pound, nows costs %;
that pork and veal are 81 cents a

ed up and his creditors cannot get
at them. These revenues have been
formally garnisheed and the duke
has been officially declared bank
rupt, but neither the garnisher nor
the receivership become operative
until the duke obliges by becoming
the Duke de Sagan. The income
of the duke can only be applied
against the reduction of his fathers
and his own debts.
German law gives Duke Helie
still another chance of wriggling
out of his debts. as far as his Ger
man estates are concerned. If he
should elect to abdicate his rights
to the Duchy of Sagan in favor OF
his eight months old son, the Sa-
gan revenues would still be avail
able for payment of the deceased
Duke Boson's debts, but the estates
would be inviolate from an attack
by any of Duke Helie's long sur
fering creditors.
The duke is entitled to a seat
in the Prussian house of lords as
soon as he claims his German title.

Berlin Correspondent Of the United
Press Association.

~ ERLIN, April 30.-Complaints
X that the kaiser is deliberately
- keeping the crown prince out
of politics because the latter is too
clever and progressive for Prussia
are now echoing all over Germany.
Some of the echoes are said to
have reached the kaisers own ears,
annoying him exceedingly. Radical
newspapers say that were he not
kept under by his father, the crown
prince would be leading an "oppo-
sition' party with an up to date
governmental program.
The late Kaiser Frederick actu-
ally did just this thing during his
fathers life, but thus far Wilhelm
has succeeded in keeping his son
under his own control. His friends
say he agrees with the historian,
Treitscheka, that it stands the Ho-
henzollern rulers in hand to hold
a tight rein on their heirs. At any
rate, that is the policy Wilhelm is
acting on.
NO CHANCE FOR YOUNG MAN.
But this agitation is developing
into a discussion of the broad Ques-
ton as to the way in which young
men are held back and kept in
subsection throughout all Germany
The kaiser, it is said, is really only
following the custom of the entire
country in compelling the crown
prince to remain in the background
as long as possible.

At Berlin Professor Sonnen-
berg Does Some Fine Vein
Stitching.

BERLIN, April 30.-Prof. Sonnen-
burg, one of Germany's leading sur
geons. reports a remarkable case
of vein stitching.
There recently came to his de-
partment at the Berlin Municipal
Hospital a young artisan into whose
right thigh a splinter of steel had
entered. At first the wound seem
ed unimportant. but swelling began,
and an operation was found ne
Cessary. The X ray showed that
the main artery of the thigh had
been torn almost straight across
its entire width.
First DR.. Sonnenburg completely
severed the wounded artery. and
then with the aid of the finest
needles and the finest silk, stitched
it together again. Within three
days it was possible to feel the
pulse at the joint nearest the
wound, proving that blood was
coursing through the stitched art
cry In perfectly normal fashion.

Forty half barrels of dried eggs.

900 bacteria of gas producing charac-
ter in a quarter tablespoonful of the
eggs. The eggs were shipped from
Topeka June 6, last.
When questioned by reporter for
the State Journal this morning, a rep
resentative of the Seymour Packing
company, said that the entire shipment
of eggs was made from the Topeka
plant to an eastern representative in
Chicago. The Seymour people do not
deny that the eggs are in bad shape
now, but declare that they were all
right when the shipment was made;
which they say ended their connection
with the affair The eggs that were
seized were dried in the Topeka plant
and the officers declare they made a
careful examination of all the eggs
before they were sent to their repre-
sentative to put on the market this
fall.
1--WE are not in position to make
a very extensive statement of the mat
ter at this time" said representative
of the plant, 'as the matter is now en-
tirely in the hands of the Chicago peo-
pie. We disclaim any connection
whatever with the bad eggs. as they
were fresh shell dried in our plant and
were all right when the shipment left
Topeka. If there is to be any trouble,
it looks like it is up to the Chicago
people and not us.
Every year we make large ship
ment to our eastern representative,
but we have been careful in the selec-
ton of eggs. Our defense will be that
the eggs were all right when we ship

there is sufficient singing there is
more and better comedy than usual
and the comedy really is good.
One of the best acts on the bill is
that of Dan Maley in Italian charac-

is exceedingly hard to follow, but even
al that he seemed not to take from

found it hard to distinguish between
the two acts as regarded the merit of
