GERMANS COMPETE
WITH STANDARD OIL

Berlin, oct. 31.-A government bill
designed to prevent the Standard Oil
company from securing monopoly
of the German petroleum market is
to be introduced Immediately upon
the reassembling of the reichstag. It
Is planned to form a German company
with capital subscribed partly by the
large financial interests and partly
by the public on which a monopoly
Of the wholesale trade i'm petroleum
for Illuminating purposes, so far as
Germany is concerned, will be confer
red.
The company is to own it's own tank
ships, buying from the STANDARD Oil
company or its rivals in America, ac-
cording to the best advantage. Its
operations are to be controlled by the
government through the chancellor
the selection of directors being sub
ject to his approval. Proper precau
tions Will he taken to prevent the
shares falling into foreign hands and
to guard against the possibility Of the
company exploiting the monopoly for
its own profit.

that exceedingly wise nature which
has arranged everything as it should
be-
Happy People Unconsciously Cruel.
There is sort of unconscious
cruelty in the optimism of happy peo-
pie. This. which is true of man, is
also true Of nations. Each century
has its favorites and its victims even
among nations and states. To some
1t gives power, wealth, culture, glory
and liberty; to others subjection,
poverty, obscurity, ignorance. And
then people favored by fortune are
as a rule no less unconsciously cruel
towards the unfavored peoples than
individual men. They are usually
indisposed to recognize that in view
of the splendid civilization of which
they enjoy the fruits there are un-
fortunate nations and people.
When evidence of the face becomes
incOntestable they endeavor to per-
suade themselves that there is no
people which is unfortunate and ill
treated. save by its own fault, and
when one of those people somewhat
disturbs the peace of the world in or
tunes they are angered as though they
would not wish their tranquility to be
disturbed by unhappy and malignant
unrest.
Europe is supplying a new example
of this phenomenon. Unrest by the
small Balkan states allied into
league, are prepared to "break the
peace Of Europe'-that peace which
to the richer and more cultured peo-
pies of the Old World is productive
of so many succulent fruits. At the
moment Of my writing this only
miracle appears able to prevent
terrible war on the outermost con-
fines of Christianity and Islam. Con
sequently Europe, rich and happy, is
bad tempered. 1t protests against
the young states which combine
themselves into league in order to
affront the old Ottoman giant
1t accuses them of wishing to dis
turb the peace of the world and ex-
pose themselves to moral danger Sc
riously without any serious reason,
when in reality it is terrible tragedy
which is beginning, one of those his
torical tragedies Of which civilized
Europe and America have almost lost
the memory under the happy condi-
tions in which they lived
Therefore it is not for us to judge
fairly the two parties which are en-
tering upon a terrible war without
realizing clearly the profound reason
and true nature Of the conflict.
AS a rule in Europe. whenever a
flict breaks out between a Christian
power and Mussulman state-and
not only one Of the less powerful, such
as Morocco and Persia, but likewise
the greatest of all, which is Turkey
1t is said that civilization and barbar-
ism are entering the lists against
each other. Even the friends of Tur-
key-who, as everybody knows, are
numerous. though as a rule from dis
Interested in Europe-do not hesitate
to acknowledge that Turkey repre-

PEACE is NOT YET

Havana, Oct. 31.-The conservative
leaders say they are fully satisfied
with the government measures to pre-

no disturbances will take place be-

believe also that the elections will be
held without disorders except such as
ordinarily result from excitement at
the polls.
The liberals are not so we'll salts

MAN OF OF LAME
BACK MAY HAVE
BEEN HOUSETHIEF

The police have made a thorough
search for the man discovered IN the
home of Dir. Warren S. p. Coombs,No.
40S Delaware avenue on Sunday night
but so far have been unable to find
any trace OF him. The man when de-
tected in the house jumped from a
third story window to an adjoining
building and then TO the ground.
Later in the evening a strange
white man appeared at the Homeo-
pathic Hospital and asked that he be
given treatment for a sprained back
which he had sustained by jumping
from second story window. AT the
time the hospital physicians and
nurses were so busily engaged that
they could not give the man immed-
late attention He seemed ia a hurry
and when he could not wait he was
advised TO 80 10 another hospital
This he did not do as none of the hos
pitals have any record of the man.
From his description and the circum-
stances of the case the police shink
the man was the burglar but cannot
imagine how he disappeared so
quickly.

No Bali; a Strike.

Governor Fletcher's stand In abol-
ishing the governors ball, which in
past years has been one of the fea-
lures of the legislative session, will
be well received the state over.
There has been change in feeling IN
the past years in regard 10 eXpendi-
lures by the executive, and the time
was ripe for some such action as
that taken by Governor Fletcher.
While Vermonters ought not to be
antagonistic to a man just because he
has money and seeks political Office,
1t is well that they insist that there
shall not grow up In the states poll
teal life certain functions which are
looked for and expected and which
might well embarrass a man Of mod
crate means in case he were called to
the Office of governor And while men
of wealth might we'll stand the ex-
pense of a ball without giving il a
second thought, it can easily be seen
that to the poor man, anxious not to
have his administration suffer in
comparison with that of any prede-
cessor, ii would be a cause of much
worry.
Governor Fletcher can well do this
easier than poor man could, for by
his gift of one thousand dollars to
a worthy institution he at once
makes 1t plain that he is not acting
through any spirit of selhshness. II
will not be necessary for the execu-
tive of moderate means to make
gift to any institution in lieu of the
ball for he will not be expected to do
acts of charity that are beyond him.
All in all, Governor Fletcher has done
much to cut the Gordian knot of
money-use-politically in Vermont. He
went through his campaign without
resorting to methods that could not
stand the brightest light, and he be-
gins his administration without any
useless display. It is a good move

Washington, Oct 21.--In letter
received today by the National Anti
tuberculosis Association, Col. Theo-
dore Roosevelt, who is an honorary
vice President, Endorses the plan TO
observe Sunday as Tuberculosis
Day." Col. Roosevelt says in part:
1T is peculiarly fitting that clergy
men, churches, and church organiza-
tons should impress upon their mem
bers and attendants the duty of ac-
lively supporting in every practical
way their local agencies. hospitals,
dispensaries, and the like, engaged in
the suppression of tuberculosis. The
amount Of suffering, misery, orphan
age, bitter poverty, and economic loss
that would be obviated by the appli'
cation of our present knowledge as
TO the causes and prevention of tu'
berculosis is simply incalculable."
