Something is wrong somewhere.
Here's the summer season more than
half gone and no seaside resort has as
yet reported the appearance of a sea-
serpent. Why doesn't Doc Cook catch
a sea-serpent and exhibit it on his lee
ture tours in the interior? 1t is hard
~ fair that only the seaside resorters
should see these things occasionally.
And. besides, the capturing of a sea-
serpent would be an easy task for the
versatile explorer.

PRINCE Is HARSH CRITIC
OF GERMANS QUALITIES
World Has Little Sympathy for
People of Fatherland, He
Charges.
Special Ca5legram TO The Star.

Special Cablegram TO The Star
BERLIN, October 19-The hereditary
Prince of Hohenlohe- Langenburg, who
married the daughter of the late Duke of
Edinburgh, and for some years acted as
regent of SaXe-Coburg- Gotha contributes
an interesting article to the Deutsches
Revue on the sympathies and antipat Aies
of foreigners for Germany.
The prince admits that Germans do no..
enjoy much sympathy from the rest of
the world and he thinks the main cause
of this is the rapid growth of German
power But. in addition, he diplomatic
ally alludes to various qualities displayed
by numerous Germans which are not CAL
culated to provoke sympathy.
There is, for example, their eXas gerated
sensitiveness, their growing osten alton
and their display of other qualities of tile
parvenu, their efforts To give an impress
sion of energetic action by conduct whica
other people simply condemn as rudeness
and unmannerliness, and their too scant
appreciation of manners and culture.
The prince complains of German mate
rialism, against which it is the duty of
parents, teachers and clergy to do battle.
Germans, he says, are uncertain'-a
source of many a mistake In political as
well as in private life.
With more Certainty it might be cas-
Ter to safeguard German interests abroad
and to free German foreign policy from
much of the unnecessary noise which too
often accompanies it.
