Occasion.
"HIs GREAT AND GOOD FRIEND"

Berlin. July 12.--Germany today
threw down the gauntlet to the
United States in an official statement
issued by the foreign office. declar-
ing that Germany intends to do as
she pleases ~ South and Central
American affairs without supervision
from America.
The first message was 20 conciia-
tory in tone IL was thought the mat
ter was ended. though IL was known
that the temper of the United States
has been sorely tried by the kaiser's
recognition of President Madrlz,
who is persona non grata witr Amer
lea. A feeling Is manifest about the
foreign Office that the American gov
eminent Is presumptious In making
public the kaiser's letter to Madriz
and taking umbrage at Germany's at
titude.
Belngerency is given out In the
second message, the first seeking to
conciliate the feelings OF Americans
regarding the kaiser's attitude to-
ward Madriz. No explanation is
given for the difference of opinion
between the first and second ness
ages. The second message says Ger
many refuses TO recognize the right
on the part of the United States to
supervise her diplomatic relations
and other countries with Central
and South American countries in
general and Nicaragua in particular
IL declares Germany's recognition OF
Madriz Is a matter that concerns
only Germany and Nicaragua.
The foreign Office is now waiting
further developments in Washington
with interest. The second message
is interpreted by some as Germany's
first step toward refusing to further
recognize the Monroe doctrine.

The Pan American Peace BuiIdino.

publics was held in Washington for
the purpose OF establishing closer re-
lations between them and the United
states and among themselves. Though
the way has been dark at times. and
the progress made has been slow, the
work has gone on until TODAY the pur-
poses of the first conference may be
said to have been fairly accomplished.

Senator Hale and the Navy.
1Arnnu and Navy RegisterD

(Army and Navy ReglSteT.)
Mr.. Hale has been a prominent i1g-
ure in the House and Senate for many
years and has been an independent
and influential factor in naval leglsla-
ton. II would be too much to expect
that he has not encountered crItlcism
from within the naval service. There
are those who do not fully appreciate
what he has done for the navy and
this is largely due to the fact that
they have not understood the situa-
ton at the capitol. That opinion is
also attributable to the circumstances
that Mr.. Hale has not done all that
was asked of him or done it in the way
which was expected and desired. His
retirement from the Senate. and there
fore from the most prominent place in
that body in framing naval legislation,
is a distinct loss to the navy. 1t will
be a long time before the service gets
as good a friend on the floor or in the
committee as Mr.. Hale has been, de-
spite his critics The new conditions
in the Senate are somewhat unusual
With Mr.. Hale's retirement and Sena-
tor Perkins ill-health and Mr.. Till
mans practical withdrawal from ac-
tivity. the navy must look for new
champions of its needs. Probably that
office would fall under the logical
evolution of senatorial power to Sena-
tors Gallnger or Lodge. but it is at
this time impossible to more than con-
lecture as to the influence which those
members of the regular organization
will retain in these days of the grow
ing prestige of the insurgent element.
There is a good chance for new blood;
1t is certain that the successor of Mr..
Hale cannot attain the position of the
retiring senator from Maine, and the
| State loses a man who had much to do
| with national issues.

Editorial Comment.
Democratic Blundering.
(KanSaS CITY JOurnal)

NhdHSdS lily JOuTIdl.)
The Democrats are going to main
tain their record for laundering if
| they follow Mr. Champ Clark's lead,
given at their Washington ''har-
mony" banquet the other night, of
laying the blame for the prevailing
high cost of living on the Aldrich-
Payne tariff act. The fact is, as
shown beyond dispute in the act it
self, that the tariff does not touch
most. if any, of the articles, par
ticularly those of food, which are
higher priced than formerly. In
making such a charge the Demo-
cratic party is simply demonstrating
anew its demagogy. 1t will soon
find itself face to face With the stub
bornest Of all things. viz. an array
Of facts. These facts will not only
establish an alibi for the tariff but
will show that the Aldrich- Payne act
has produced the most satisfactory
conditions the country has ever
known in relation to every article
with which it deals. Ask the farm
ers, who constitute the great body
Of the taxpayers Of the nations, and
they will say that they are getting
better prices for their products than
ever before, and that while they are
paying more for the things they need
the balance Of trade is largely in
their favor The manufacturers, job
bers wholesale and retail dealers,
the mechanics and WOrkingmen, men
in every class of industrial endeavor,
will make the same reply. 1t is an
undisputed fact that the United
States today is the most prosperous
and best-gOverned country r in the
world and the Democrats will sim
ply butt their heads against a stone
wall when thew deny it.
