WHY GERMANS ARE RUDE
New Freedom Is Strange to Them and
They Don't Know How to Use 1t

Price-Colier In Scrbner's Magazine
These gross manners are the result Of
two factors in German life that it Is well
to keep in mind. They are a poor peo :
pie. only just emerging from poverty,
slavery and disaster, poor not only. In pos
sessions. but poor in the experience of
how to use them. They do not know
how to use their newy freedom. They are
as awkward In this new world of theirs
of greater wealth and opportunity as un-
yoked oxen that have strayed into city
streets. The abject Difference of the
women, who know nothing better than
these parochial masters, adds to their
sense of their own Importance. 1t is
largely the women them selves who make
their men insupportable.
The other factor Is the rigid caste svs-
tenn of their social habits. There IS no
association between the officers, the nobil-
ity. the officials. the cultured classes and
the middle and lower classes The pub
lie schools and universities are learning
shops; they do not train youths in char
acter. manners or in the WAYS OF the
world. They do not play together. or

LIMIT LIABILITY ON
HOUSEHOLD GOODS

Washington, March 10.--In accord
ance with the principle that federal
law rather than state law controls con-
tracts for the shipment of goods from
state to state. announced recently
in an express rate case, the supreme
court of the United States today de-
cided that railroads carrying household
goods from one state to another may
make valid contracts to limit their lia-
bility in case of loss or damage. More
claims for injury to household goods
are said to be presented to railroads
than for any other class of freight
The court also decided In another
case that the roads may require in
bills of lading that suits for loss or
damage be brought within 90 days.
Both decisions were interpretations of
the Hepburn rate law. In the former
case Arkansas courts were overruled
and the latter upset Texas decisions

SENATE AT WORK
ON ORGANIZATION
Republican Caucus Names
Candidates for Compli-
mentary Votes

Washington, March 10.-Organization
work in the Senate today held the at
tention of democrats and republicans
alike.
A republican caucus had been called to
name candidates to receive the compli,
mentary vote of the republican senators
of elective positions.
The democratic steering committee, OF
which Senator Kern Is chairman, was al
work early upon the arrangement of the
democratic membership 'on the large
committees. 1t was not expected that
the democratic committee assignments
would be completed today The republi-
can membership of the committee has
already been arranged by the republican
steering committee and is ready for sub
mission to the democrats.
The democratic steering committee
granted the request of the republican
caucus for such an increase of member
ship of the important committees as will
avoid the necessity of removing any OF
the republicans.
Finance, foreign relations and judi
ciary were enlarged from 10 to II mem
bers, and the committee on rules from
to 10 members. These changes will
also give the democratic increased repre-
sentation. The democratic steering com.
mittee also decided to create new com.
mittee on banking and currency of l.
members to take over part of the worf
of the finance committee. The genera
understanding is that Senator Stone oi
Missouri. will be chairman.
After brief executive session in which
the nomination of John II. Marble to be 9
member of the interstate commerce com
mission was confirmed and the nomina
tIons made today by President Wilson
were referred to committees the Senate
adjourned until Tuesday at o'clock.

The text of the petition which the suf-

George was as followsi
THE unrest among women and their
militant revolt can never be ended ex-
cept by removing their discomfort. Votes
for women is the only cure for militancy.
''rhe revolving and futile policy OF re-
leasing hunger strikers and rearresting
them simply will bring discredit to the
minister responsible therefor. Such treat
ment will never break the spirit of the
women though it will very likely bring
about a tragedy, for although the women
cannot be defeated they can be killed by
persecution.

lished In this realm women must have
the vote. We look to see in your gracious
speech from the throne> message telling
US that in the present session of parlia-

After the foregoing petition had been
read byyMrs. Emmeline Pankhurst at a
meeting of the militant suffragettes this

that as there was nothing in the King s
speech about suffrage "the only thing
to do is to renew our miltancy."
