Up to Oct. 8, the total for 1911 was

BERLIN, Dec. 1.-Unless there is a
right about face" In the methods
and policies OF men in charge OF
Germany's foreign affairs, war be-
tween Germany and England is in
evitable, In the opinion OF Editor
Maximillian Harden, of the "Zu-
kunft," or Future" and Editor Har-
den does not believe there will be a
right about face"
Aside from the kaiser. Harden is
probably the best versed man In Ger
many. He was a close friend OF Bis
marck, In the Iron Chancellor's" lat
ter days, won fame by breaking up
the notorious Round Table" camar-
lila. in which counts and princes were
prominent, and wields a pen which
is feared and respected
The Moroccan affair" he said, in
all interview given especially to the
United Press. has intensified Anglo
German bitterness. Germans feel
deep in their hearts that England
prevented Germany from being more
successful in the negotiations. Now
this AFFAIR was wholly unnecessary.
Could German diplomats think that
England would permit Germany to
get foothold on the west coast OF
Morocco? II was not to be thought
OF. And 1t was not necessary to Ger
many's national life. II was the
browning blunder OF decade of Ger
man diplomatic blunders each worse
than the preceding one.
How could II be otherwise, with
men, however estimable personally,
who have not the diplomatic capacity
TO direct the empires international
affairs or TO rise to a situation Ger
many's international position today Is
worse than In many years. This Is
due to the incapacity of the men at
the head of the government, to the
unskilled hands of those who direct
its foreign policy, and especially Ia
their lack OF foresight. The Reich
stag is merely an ornament. II makes
the people pay for errors they did
not commit and bear the results of
blunders by men they did not select.
For ten years German diplomacy has
acted too much on the theory that
the ether man Is a stupid fellow. That
is an absurd basis on which to deal,
War with England is unavoidable
shall I say nevitable-unless there
is quickly a complete face abont,' in
the methods and policies of the men
who direct Germany's affairs. 1t

TEHERAN, Dec. 1.-The streets OF
this city today were the scene OF an
anti-Russian demonstration following
the action OF parliament in refusing TO
agree to Russia ultimatum demand
ing the expulsion of w. Morgan
Shuster, the American who is treas
urer-general of Persia.
Parliament's rejection OF the Rus
sian ultimatum is believed 10 be the
forerunner of grave eventualities.
Repeated attempts have been made
TO assassinate Shuster. whose sup
porters assert Russia has placed a
price on his head. Numerous arrests
in plots TO slay Shnster have been
made and the authorities are endeav-
orfifg toSecure ifafffes or trose inspir-
ing these attempts. Shuster is con-
stantly under guard.
Educated Persians assert that the
salvation OF their country rests alone
with the young American minister of
finance.
In an interview with the United
Press correspondent today, Shuster
declined TO go into details concern
ing attempts to assassinate him. He
admitted, however, that his body
guard had saved him on several oc-
casions. Discussing Russia's attempts
TO force his dismissal, he said:
THE demand for my dismissal is
actuated by my refusal to recognize
officially Russia's sphere of influence
In northern Persia. If ! had acceded
10 the cars demands, would have
betrayed the people | serve. The un-
expected repulse of the eX-shah and
the solidarity of the constitutional
government has further embittered
the Russian bureaucracy. If the peo-
pie OF Persia wish to submit to the
dictation of Russia they will have to
get new treasurergeneral.
Russian officials for years have
been intimidating Persian officials
and they are wild now because Per-
sia has secured an American minis
ter who will not submit.
Russia never intended TO permit
real financial reforms in Persia. The
car was forced TO show his hand
quicker than he expected. however,
because OF the European situation
and the insincerity of England.
! England sanctioned the attacks on
! me. but | challenge either England or

When the preparations for rebuild

interesting studies Of the bricks.
II was found that they had been
used IN arches. fortifications, the tops
Of walls and in other ways before
they were built into the Campanlle,
and that they were not Venetian but
Roman bricks.
These ancient bricks were made in
slices, for IN many the layers could be

bricks made this way can bear q
greater weight than modern bricks.
