Captain Steunenberg's Poem
Called an Insult to Emperor By
Member Of German Embassy

Washington, Dec. 10.-One Of
the members Of the German em-
bassy staff has indicated that the
embassy regards as ''impertinent"
poem by Captain George Steun-
enberg. U. 8. A.. published in the
Army and Navy Journal, In which
fun is made Of the German emper-
or and Won Moltke. Tho insinua-
tion Of the verses is that the Turks
were beaten because they followed
the advice Of German military ex-
perts.
1t Is intimated that while no ac-
ton has been taken yet, the poem
will be referred to the state de-
partment by the embassy. It will
then be the duty of the state de-
partment to refer the complaint to
the war department II the state
department regards the verses as
malicious and impertinent. Be-
yond doubt the action of the Ger
man embassy is in obedience to
directions from the kaiser.
Captain Steunenberg was trans
ferred months ago from Fort Nc
Pherson to an army post in the
northwest, following the publica-
ton of letters in which he ridiculed
Atlanta and other southern cities
and compared them unfavorably
with Boise, Idaho.
Steunenberg's letters created
much feeling, especially in Atlanta,
as they were written after he had
been given entree to the leading
Atlanta clubs. There was a
movement to have Steunenberg re-
proved by the war department, but

be trusted by men who believe in hon.
esty.
I'VE stand for every principle set
forth in the platform. We stand for the
purging of the roll of men in American
public life, by driving out Of politics
the big bosses who thwart popular
will. who rely on corruption as a po-
litical instrument and who serve the
cause of privilege.
But the function OF the new party
is not limited to secure the enactment
OF the measures indicated in the new
party platform and the removal of a
few bosses. Our purpose Is to keep up
a continuous campaign for social and
industrial justice and for genuine gov
ernment by the people and for the
people. Such a campaign cannot be ex-
pected from any party which is partly
reactionary and at their best, both OF

1t came to nothing. During the
controversy Steunenberg stood by
his letters and declared he had
stated the simple truth about
southern cities and their people.
Steunenberg was then left Sc
verely alone in q social way and
finally secured a transfer.
Army and navy officers discuss
ed the verses at the Army and
Navy club. and while they would
not express any opinion on the
subject they said that the case was
q close parallel to the "Hoch der
Kaiser sensation OF Rear Ad-
miral Coghlan. which ended with
out any severe discipling Of the
admiral.
One Of the members Of the gen.
eral army staff said there was an
unwritten law. that army and navy
officers, and in fact, all officers or
one government, shall not appear
publicly in the attitude OF criti-
cising another power or its people
or officers.
Sometimes, however, said this
officer. when it is patiently case
of only good-natured fun, no harsh
measures are taken"
Rear Admiral COghlan did not
write the poem. ''Hoch der Kaiser"
It was written by another officer
and delivered by Coghlan at BAN
quet rendered to him in New York
on his return from the Spanish
American war. The navy depart
ment wrote Admiral Coghlan a
mild letter of reprlmand. The
Steunenberg poem is as follows:

In brief these objections are:
That while 1t was clearly in violation
Of the Hay -Pauncefote treaty either
to remit or refund tolls on all American
shipping using tire canal, that same OBJ
lection probably would apply to the
coastwise trade shipping in view of the
probable impossibility Of framing reg
ulations that would not result in a
preference to American shipping.
In addition to supporting these points
by long arguments. Sir Edward Grey

tary Knox today got down to
careful study of the objections
raised in the lengthy note
} transmitted last night through
} Amba ssador Bryce.
The British minister of for
eign affairs, basing his rrinci-
pal objection on the proposal to
relieve all American shipping
from paying canal tolls, con-
tends that that section of the
law is in violation Of the Hay
Psuncefote treaty, and proposes
that If the question can he set
tied in no other way, 1t
should be submitted to artitra-
, ton at The Hague.
Secretary Knox will prepare
reply to the British note 1t
will be in the same friendly
tone as the British communica-
ton.
1t is known that the president
does not regard the subject as
one affecting the vital inter-
ests of the United States, but
rbther as one Of purely pecun-
iary consequence, and therefore
not among the prohibited sub
jects mentioned in the special

The Ranks of Spinsterdom

A l)en5er preacher, seeking some
cheap n%otoriety. has come out with
a TRADE against unmarried women,
saying they have no business TO
cumber the earth. There was a
time in the dark ages of the past
when the term ''old maid" carried a
sting with it. but the world has pro-
crossed so far beyond that stage that
the outburst of the Denver divine is
received with a shrug OF amusement.
That man is fifty years behind the
twentieth century if he has failed to
see what an important niche the I'M
married woman fills in the civiliza-
ton of the world today.
There has been considerable agi-
tation during the last few years over
the fact that the ranks of unmarried
women are growing larger and that
the increase is supplied by college
women. But the agitation has been
among those who have not studied
the question as . sociological prob
lem and seen that the situation is
only the logical outcome of an adj
Fvanced civilization. Az higher edu-
cation becomes more widespread, it
Is inevitable that the marriage age
be advanced from five to ten years
and the birth rate decreased, but to
the sociologist of today. these are
only signs of a better and more high
ly developed race in the next few
generations. Instead Of being cause
for Rooseveltian agitation, it is one
more step in the direction Of the
Nietzche super-man.

Wisconsin is holding to her title. as
the laboratory where advanced ideas

which is a state colonization scheme.
1t is proposed for the state to pur-
chase a large tract of undeveloped
land and let settlers have il at whole
sale prices. but that the surplus of
the price should also be paid in by
them for a general cooperative fund
from which to purchase all supplies.
If Wisconsin attempts this expert
ment. it will be watched with great
interest by the northwest.
