other that no other country gets the upper

people rather than that of a people whose
abode is i'm old cemeteries.
However, as it is not so much with the
material benefits which would accrue to
Germany by a greater familiarity with the
English language that You are concerned,
but. rather with the more important con-
sideraton, the making for the peace of the
world, which you hope the greater atten-
ton to the study OF English in Germany
and through Germany in other countries
is sure 10 bring about, then | am sure you
will be pleased TO learn that large numbers
OF influential Germans and Englishmen-

men than Germans-have found a much
more direct way to bring about that great
desideratum a second or auxiliary language,

Italy has no real title 10 Tripoli She

DAYS of the Caesars. she has no author

because if is the only part of that coast
which has not been pre-empted by some

rHE RESELT ~ WV JERSEY.

New Jersey paraphraseS the tradition
al philosopher who was for the law
but against its enforcement" That
state is for progress but against the
PrOgreSSives Such * the net result Of
;hc recent primaries, with certain shin
ing-or lurid-cXcepuons. And that is
by far the most interesting and signiti-
cant result of Il contest i'm which the
Sste Of the ProCrcsSiycs as an orgauza-
ton was perhaps the salient issue. For
several years New Jersey has been 4
centre of progressive activities. The
Republicans began il. in the New Idea"
movement. which for time dominated
several Of the chief counties and held
much power i'm the Legislature and this
year the Democrats followed the exam
pie with their Wilson League" The
question of chief interest in the pri-
n'aries was therefore. whether these
new organizations should supplant and
overcome the old party machines or
should merely play the part Of bits of
lcaven i'm the lump.
The latter is. on the whole, the an
can and Democratic, have rs party or
CARNATIONS generally been defeated.
But the regulars have generally won 10y
themselves putting forward candidates
Of unmistakably progressive inclina-
tons. Thus in Essex County the regu-
lar Republicans won handsomely by
virtue of putting mp as their senatorial
candidate Colonel Austen Colgate. who
had been one Of the founders and chief
promoters of the New Idea" move
II ent, and who is now as earnestly
progressive as ever. but who iudici-
cusly regards it as time for the party

great reforms which have been achieved
and in pursuance of the enlightened
policies 10 which the party, regular as
well as New Idea" is ilTevocably com
mitted, while the PrOgreSsiveS. with
candidate Of their own Of high charac-
ter were beaten simply because Of their
inSiStence upon continued insurgency.
I'm the same county the regular Demo
Gratis won with candidate-the pres
ent Senator-whO is warm supporter
Of Governor Wilson and his progressive
policies, while the Wilson League and
It's candidates We're thoroughly beaten.
In Union County the interesting specta-
Gle was presented of two Republican
candidates Of the highest class. both
unquestionably regular. but both openly
committed to progressive policies, and
in Somerset County the one Republican
and two Democratic senatorial candi-
dates were of the same description.
There were exceptions. In Hudson

victory, while on the Democratic side

The approach OF cold weather. with

The statements which have been made
by the principal police officers in nu-
