Consul Frederic W. Cooling, Monte.
vldeo, 10 writing OF a unique white
wash used 10 Uruguay, says:
When travelling through the rural
districts OF Uruguay. ones attention
is attracted to the 6ne white color or
the farm buildings, even during the
wet season. To obtain this neat effect
whitewasb Is used which is made
with the sliced leaves Of the common
cactus, lnaccrated 10 water FOR "a
hours, producing solution OF creamy
consistence; to this lime is added and
well mixed. When applied 70 any
surface, be II Of wood, brick, Iron, or
other material, beautiful pesrly
white appearance Is produced which
will endure through storms and frosts
for many years.

TIE GERMAN ATTITUDE.

The general sentiment Of Germany, We
are told, inclines toward the adoption OF
the peace making treaty which has been
proposed by Mr.. Taft. This agreeable
assurance is neither surprising nor diff
fcult TO accept There is no serious
reason for regarding Germany as hostile
ia the peace Of the world. On the con
trary. the empire OF the formidable and
once much dreaded War Lord" has for
most Of its forty years Of existence been
a nrettv constant makeweight against
war. There IS not another great power
in Europe which has not in that time
more frequently suffered war scare
and made belligerent preparations. In
fact. Germany and AuStria-IIungary are
the only two great powers which have
not been involved i'm serious war. There
is nothing more natural, therefore. than
that Germany should incline toward Il
general pact for peace.
Germany was not the first power 70
express sympathy with the Presidents
proposal. but all could not bp first. and
there are obvious and not az all offensive
nor discrcdtahlc reasons why one or two
others were more prompt than Germany.
Other important proposals Of this coun-
try have been similarly treated. John
Hays plan of the open door In China,
for example. was accepted by various
powers at considerable intervals, but
those which were later are deemed no
less sincere than those which were
earlier in acceptance. The causes Of
Germany'S delay are understood, and the
fact that now. despite them, she inclines
toward making the treaty really empha-
sizes and enhances the value of her act.
There Is much truth IN the German
view. as expressed lay "The Cologne
Gazette" that nation which maintains
an unsympathetic attitude toward plans
for avoiding war thereby incurs danger
Of having its policies misunderstood.
Certainly il could not logically complain
if Il were suspected of being hostile 10
