the police off the right track. There
have been criticisms of the fnger-print
system also, and never more practical
one than the quite recent case of a
British soldier, who, having been posi-
lively identified" by his finger-prints,
proved an equally positive abb and es-
capped conviction !
I The two methods combined afford the
best assurance of identifying a criminal.
All that is lacking to achieve COM
plete success is the establishment of an
international exchange of records,
which will cause criminals TO reform
or keep constantly on the move. In
the meantime the police and prison au-
thorities of this country should promptly
exchange records and do al they can
to standardize their systems.

SCHOOLS WILL JOIN
PEACE MOVEMENT
Aims OF League Outlined to
Washington Teachers.

New natiOnalism and its relation %

Fern Andrews, secretary of the Amcrt-
can School Peace League, in a lecture
before a large gathering or school
teachers at Mckinley Manual framing
School, yesterday afternoon.
Mrs. Andrews said that in every conn
try she has visited she has found this
new spirit of internationalism. and mat
it is establishing new methods and new
ideals and developing in political rr-
s1cnsibility for the welfare of the worIi
at large.
Starting with the peace conference 1t

Hope for the Clerks.

The fact that the Chamber of Com
merce is to take action in the matter of
aiding the government clerks is an as
surance Of progress in a good cause.
According to the plan now under con-
sideration, a committee will be appointed
to undertake the administration of
fund of $4,000, the object being to Gre
ate a national sentiment IN favor of in
creased compensation for government
employees. Already there have been sub
stantIal subscriptions to this fund, and
when definite organization has been eff
fected there is no doubt that additional
contributions will be generously offered.
The trouble with the proposition to aid
the clerks is that, in the past, it has
lacked aggressive management To quote
an old saying, what was everybody's
business was nobody's business. 1t is
a matter of universal knowledge that the
average salary of government clerks is
less to-day than it was twenty-five or
thirty years ago, and yet the cost OF
living is much higher. Every one
knew that the clerks were suffering I'M
der these conditions, but as there was
no systematic movement to help them,
no results were accomplished.
The case is different now. Public
spirited business men will organize in
the clerks behalf and impress upon
Congress and the country the necessity of
making more liberal provision for the
employees. If the work is energetically
prosecuted, as it will be, the labor will
not be in vain The clerks have a Just
cause, and it only needs proper presenta-
ton to secure the support OF the authori-
ties.

Germany's Attitude.

Even # the German government has
decided, in case German interests are
menaced in Mexico, to take such meas
urcs as may seem necessary for the pro-
lection OF those interests, there is not
the slightest reason to believe that Sc
rious misunderstanding between Ger
many and the United States will result
The situation is by no means difficult
to analyze. The protection Of German
interests could not, under any circum-
stances, mean a military demonstration.
1t could not even result in the seizure
OF the custom-housc at Vera Cruz or at
any other Mexican port The moment
that Germany landed an armed force,
either soldiers. sailors. or marines, upon
Mexican soil, that instant it would
commit an act 50 at variance with the
Monroe doctrine that the United States
would be forced to resent it No one
knows this better than Germany. No
one is less anxious to engage in war
with the United States than Emperor
William. Even if he were personally
belligerent, of which there is no evil
dcnce, ne realizes that the ties of blood
and commerce are too strong to be
endangered by a conflict. IN addition
to this, and while the land forces of
Germany are ample and well drilled, the
German navy IS not so powerful All
things considered, therefore, it is absurd
TO think that Germany would commit
any overt act which would arouse the
antagonism of the United States.
From this point of view, therefore,
there is only one way in which Germany
can protect the interests of her citizens
N Mexico. She can demand reparation
for any injury or loss that may be i'm
fiicted upon her subjects as the result
of MeSico's inability to preserve peace
and order. A demand for reparation is
far removed from war 1t means an ex-
change of diplomatic notes and, if no
agreement is reached, reference of the
disputed questions to The Hague tri-
bunal There is no other course left
for Germany 10 pursue.
Unquestionably this same line Of rea-

Washington and the Glidden Tour.

From Washington to Ottawa is to be
the route of the Glidden tou7 this year
This event is the annual classic in the
automobile world, and the fact that this
city has been selected as the initial point
is a distinction of no small value
The Glidden tour last year was any
thing but pleasure jaunt, 1t was OF
unusual length, covering more than 1000
miles, and it carried the motor cars
through an unprepossessing stretch Of
Western country. In many places the
roads were almost impossible, the ac-
commodations were of the most primi-
tive character, and the consequent dis
comforts discouraged all but the most
ardent devotees Of automo6iling. The
lesson learned through these experiences
was valuable one, inasmuch as it de-
tcrmincd the managers of the tour to
select this year a route whioh would be
agreeable in all respects. The roads
from Washington to Ottawa are excel
lent the hotels are numerous and in
vIting. and the scenery IS picturesque 1t
IS no wonder. therefore, that already
there are a large number of entries, and
the probability is that when the start is
made next June, this city will be the
rendezvous for the largest number of
motor cars ever gathered Ill a similar
event.
The citizens OF Washington may be
relied upon to cooperate heartily with
the Automobile Club in contributing 10
the enjoyment Of the motorists while in
the National Capital This city has
never lacked in hospitality, and this oc-
casIon offers peculiar opportunity for
cordial reception. If, as is now sug-
geStcd, an auto floral parade and car
nlval be made a part OF the event, we
will witness a spectacle quite eclipsing
any previous automobile demonstration.
The officers OF the local organization
may be relied upon to manage the de-
tails with skill and effectiveness. and
whatever assistance is required win be
chcerfuIIy accorded.
Washington as the starting point Of
the Glidden tour will be the mecca of
automobilists from almost every city
in the Union They will be more than
welcome here and they will not expert
encc en- route a more hospitable recep-
ton than Washington will be glad to ex-
tend TO them.

The Finger-mark Success.

Identification by means of the BERTH
lon system gained q complete victory in
New York recently. While the con-
viction was the first of its kind in that
city, it will soon be followed by others,
as many police departments and State
institutions are now exchanging proofs
OF. identity, either fnger-prints alone, or
fnger-prints supplementing Bertillon
measurements. Here is case in point
Thieves entered house, carried off d
small safe, and packed up thousands of
dollars worth of personal property,
which they were about to remove when
frightened away. Among the articles
was a glass clock. On the sides of this,
considerable dust had accumulated, and
the dust bore the imprints of fingers.
Detectives took the clock to headquar-
tiers, where the expert in the bureau of
identification made microscopic study
of the prints and compared them with
his records, finding that the marks on
the clock corresponded to the finger
prints of one Cohen, taken at the Mas
sachusetts State prison. Cohen and
man who was lodging with him were ar
rested. Both proclaimed their innocence
and employed counsel, but when en-
larged photographs of the record and
the prints on the clock were introduced
in evidence they promptly pleaded guilty.

out hnger-prints do not give dependable

soning is appreciated IL Berlin, for the
Vossische Zeitung, the Oldest paper in
the German capital and the official or
gan, utters this sentiment:
Germany. like other states, can with
tranquility intrust the protection of its
great mercantile interests in Mexico to
the discretion of the United States. 1t
has no other interests there" ..
This expresses the situation in a
nutshell. Germany will intrust the pro-
lection of her mercantile interests in
Mexico to the United States. She can
not do otherwise without violating the
Monroe~doctrine. and this country will
not allow such violation to occur. The
United States may be trusted to pre-
serve peace and order on this continent,
and no European power will attempt to
interfere.

Mr.. DrexeI's Timely Warning.

To the multitude OF intelligent men,
sporting or scientific, amateur or pro-
fessional, who are interested in aero
nautics and the development of the aero
plane, this paragraph from articles on
the subject written by Mr. J. Arm
strong Drexel should appeal with force
Referring to the flight which won for
him temporarily the record for altitude,
ne says:
Assuming that the total flight from
the time OF starting to the time Of land
ing occupied one hour, the physical
strain of such work can be imagined
when | say that | started in fine con-
ditlon, fresh and feeling strong and
equal to anything. yet when | landed in
that field fourteen miles away from my
starting point. | was so utterly worn out
and helpless that could not climb out
of my machine for several minutes, and
when | did manage to summon up suffi-
cient courage and energy to try | simply
Topped over the fusilage and had to
hang on to the framework to keep from
falling TO the ground"
Thus in a single sentence does one of
the most athletic among the young men
sound a timely warning to others who
would emulate him by buying an aero
plane and sailing cloudTard. The COM
ing spring and summer probably will
witness more aerial ascents than ever
before, and the death roll no doubt will
be in proportion. But the youth who
would essay the role of aviator should
consider we'll the Drexel warning He
will need the nerve and skill of a pilot
and the wind of a track runner.
