PRESIDENT TAFT'S

CI EENll
Elsewhere in The Bee will be
read with interest the speech of
President TAFT, delivered in the
Metropolitan Church last Tues
day evening, March 9Th. When
Mr.. Taft said that the so-called
representatives of the colored
race or quasi leaders should be
educated men-he spoke the
truth. He also scored a hit when
he said that the doctors should
likewise be educated. This
speech should be read by every
colored American and we'll di-
rested. Mr.. Taft lost no time in
getting down to his speech after
he had been introduced. His
speech or rather his introduc-
tory was very significant. He
doesn't believe in fattery. Mr.,
Taft would rather for man to
tell him his faults and point out
his errors. He would appreciate
him more. Mr.. Taft knows that
the colored people are dissatisf-
ed and nothing will convince him
otherwise.
The speech speaks for itself.

EASTER AT TUSKEGEE

EAS EN Al OCE\LOLL
The quietly gotten up invita-
tions for an excursion to Tuske-
gee. Alabama, will not materia-
lize. Invitations were sent out
to twenty OF the most select and
best educated men and women
in this city. Out of three thou
sand of the best educated and
select scholars in the city the
committee failed to secure
twenty. A letter was sent to
The Bee asking its advice about
the affair, but The Bee could not
give the desired information I'M
til it asked one of its friends and
he said that Mrs. A. M. Curtis
was getting the excursion up
that the fare for the round trip
would be iorty-twO dollars. The
Bee regrets that the select ex-
cursion of educators to Tuske-
gee was a failure. Perhaps the
invitation committee was too
narrow and selfish. There are
hundreds of people, no doubt,
would have been too glad to
have visited Tuskegee Easter.
The Bee made AN investigation
and ascertained that not even
Mrs. Pittman had been asked to
visit her fathers school Easter.
This very select excursion to
Tuskegee was too select for its
own good. The next time The
Bee hopes that the committee
will be more liberal with its in
vitations.

FIRST. NOT SECOND

DR.. ]. E. Shepard is fast becoming
a second Washington. He arrived
home last week after a very success
full trip north and west and brings
most encouraging news of the growth
and popularity of his idea of race
redemption. The program for the
summer school is out and is doubt
less the very best that could be Sc
cured. It is certain that no better
program has ever been attempted
among the Negroes of this State and
none but Dr. Shepard could have
conceived of a summer school of
such magnifcence and usefulness

means to his home city.-From the

The Student Volunteer Gymnasium
Movement OF Howard University
will canvass Washington, Baltimore
and vicinity during the Easter holi-
days. Beginning Thursday, March
24, continuing through Monday,
March %, the students hope to tag
every person in these cities.
The Volunteer Gymnasium, Move
ment is an association of the entire
student body formed to assist the
Alumni Association in raising funds
to erect a gymnasium. The students
have been working toward that end
for month and they hope to make
a creditable report at the Alumni
Reunion in May.
The students earnestly solicit the
aid of their friends in this worthy
movement. A gymnasium is a nee
essary adjunct to the University as it
appears to the students, consequently
they are striving earnestly to realize
such an undertaking. The teams
have no place to train, the athletes
are handicapped and above all our
young ladies have no opportunity for
physical culture You can readily
see that this is indeed a matter
worthy of much consideration and
the students have pledged themselves
to make the movement a success.
Let everybody buy a fve-cent tag
during the Easter holidays. Every
tag means a brick in the gymnasium
This is one time the students will ap-
preciate brick-throwing.

TRIES AGAIN
TO ABOLISH TIP.
GIVING IN HOTELS

PARIS, March 49,, a campaign
against the obnoxious tipping sys-
tenn has been sprung here during
the last few days. but like previous
efforts, it is doomed TO failure from
the start.
OF course the word "pourboire"
in the French is made up of the
two words pour" meaning for"
and "boire," which is the verb for
ito drink" and in the light of this
literal meaning of the now recog-
nized word "pourboire.' it is in
|teresting to know that as early as
1850 a tip was known as the win"
(the wine~. Wine was given TO
workmen as special compensation
for jobs done, and judges and law
yers even gave their clerks this
form of tip, calling it clerks

enteenth and eighteenth centuries
il grew into wins de valet" and

article from the shop he expected

he expects more and he calls it

went visiting, the servants of the
house, when he left, presented him
with bouquet of flowers and
hoped him bon voyage this by
way of calling his attention to the
question of tips. American guests
in French hotels nowadays seldom

High strung and very nervous,

for the manner in which he con-
tinued to deliver a certain passage.
Guitry, also strong with the artis-

wrought up over the unusually
severe hours at rehearsal, retorted
in kind. There was a brief, warm
interchange of words and then it
was all over-except the GOODNESS

make peace, and after the French
custom offered to make Guitry a

He remarked that If she really
meant it, she might send him flow

The flowers didn't show up.

estranged than ever from the au-
thor. 1t seems that in France,

man she is supposed to be in love

much as a gift was offered him
and left to him to name, he could
see nothing more appropriate from
the authors wife than flowers on
the night he created Rostand's

Well, it is said that Guitry now
merely walks through his part, his
interest gone.

BERLIN, March 19.-All Europe,
and especially Germany, was
amazed by the recent news that an
understanding had been reached be-
tween Austria and Russia in regard
to the maintenance Of the balance of
power in the Balkan states. AL
though common knowledge for
months past that Foreign Minister
Baron Won Aehrenthal of Austria
had been coGuetting both with Ger
many and Russia, with che idea of
fixing up an agreement. no one ever
believed that there was the slight
est possibility of definite result
being obtained, least of all with
Russia
BY the parties concerned the
news has been greeted as triumph
of diplomacy and a victory for the
cause of peace. But the rest of
Europe regards the very thought of
a genuine agreement with the great
est suspicion.
For two centuries Austria and
Russia have been rivals in south
east Europe To both. the Balkan
peninsula. towards which the boun-
daries of both verged, offered the
sole opportunity in Europe for ex-
pansion, either territorial or COM
mercial. For decades past both
countries have been scheming and
intriguing to gain the upper hand in
these regions. The story of their
long contest for Balkan supremacy
would fill many volumes; 1t would
contain records of dark crimes, mys-

thronements and political bribery.

TRYING To- REGAIN VAST ESTATE
SHE SOLD MONEY LENDER FOR $50
Simple Gypsy Mother Strug-

This dainty little gipsy's father,
an Austrian nobleman, died many
years ago, and left to her mother
an estate valued at nearly half
million dollars, but the latter. when
widowed, left the ancestral halls
and wandered about with her gypsy
relatives. She knew nothing OF
business, and when a money lender
offered her $50 for the vast estate
she gladly accepted it and contin-
ued her wanderings over Europe.
Now. however. she has learned of
the deception the old money lender
practiced, and for her daughters
sake is suing in the Austrian courts
for the return of the estate, now
valued at 100000, and wants to see

venient way of attachment was
found, while worse still, the ar
rangement detracted from the
smartness of the general turnout.
But the crown prince has now
devised an attachment which is
said to be both simple and in
genious. 1t consists of metal
clasp which shuts with a spring
and can be opened by giving the
gaiter a sudden twist to one side.
So far, despite it being the work
of the crown prince, the invention
has not yet been adopted by the
war department. But in any case
the prince is satisfied. For some
time he has been in his fathers

TWO GREAT POWERS
SEEK PERMANENT
UNDERSTANDING


BERLIN, March 19.-Persistent
endeavors are again being made to
bring about permanent CONNER
cial understanding between Eng
land and Germany. The arrange
ment would take the form of new
treaty in place of the modus viven-
di, which for some ten years past
has had to be annually renewed.
Three years ago the German
agrarian party was successful in de-
feating scheme of this kind when
1t was brought forward by the then
British ambassador, Sir. Frank Las
celles. The same party was also
responsible recently for defeating
strongly backed scheme for the
promotion of an Anglo German ex-
hibition in London, which would
have gone far toward putting the
relations of the two countries on
friendlier basis. But now appar-
entity they have been beaten.
Following an extremely friendly
speech made by Count Metternich
in London, Sir Edward Goschen,
the British ambassador, has once
more taken up the idea Of COM
mercial treaty and it is making
great Roadway. The scheme has
been welcomed by all the leading
commercial bodies of Germany and
now the government has ordered
the preparation of number of
special reports on the subject.
These are now being prepared and
the German embassy in London will
forward them here by the begin
ming of April. Government officials
here say that these reports will in

ALL EUROPE SURPRISED BY
POWER AGREEMENT IN BALKANS
Austria and Russia Agree After Decades of Rivalry
Bloodshed, Disbursements, Plots and Assassinatons.
TREATY IS REGARDED WITH MUCH SKEPTICISM
Countries Concerned Believe New Treaty Will Insure
Peace in Southeast Europe, Where Both Fought
for Supremacy.

Balkan statesmen and spent huge
sums of money in buying Balkan
politicians; and in these matters,
Austria has nothing to learn from
Russia.
1t was little more than a year ago
that Austria and Russia we're on
the brink of war because the for
mer seized and held for itself the
Turkish provinces of Bosnia and
Herzegovina and thereby scored a
point in the Balkan game. And this
was only one of many instances
when war between the two has
been narrowly averted.
These, then, are the two powers
ments in the cause of peace. 1t is
small wonder that Europe is skep-
tical.
What is the value of such an I'M
derstanding? Any candid Russian
Or Austrian statesman would say
without a moments hesitation that
1t is not worth the paper upon
which it Is written. Diplomacy in
Europe has reached stage of deg
radiation when treaties between the
effete countries of the old world
are made only to be broken. Count
less examples of this have occurred
during the last 20 years alone.
Every great European power
has violated the most solemn inter-
national obligations when it's own
interests were promoted by so do
ing.
Moreover Austria and Russia
I have on previous occasions con-
cluded agreements in regard to the
Balkans. One such agreement was
made in. 1897 and had so little ef-
feet that another had to be con-
cluded in 1903. Neither of them pre-
vented the menace OF war in 1908,
the outlook OF which was stopped
by entirely different causes.
Probabilities are that the under
standing of 1910 will prove equally
futile. Whenever Russia or Austria
finds it convenient to violate 1t. the
understanding will be treated as
though it never existed. The only
use it can ever have is to give both,
in the eyes of the world. the APP
pearance at least OF a desire for
peace.

Love, courtship and romance are
woefully lacking in the lives of
Princess Patricia of England, Prin-
cess Louise Victoria of Germany
and the Grand Duchess Olga Of Rus

cesses of Europe. The delightful
thrills of romance which even the
