 Berlin, July 67The dsd1ctfona oe a %F'airy1and Fountain in a public rarIE of Berlin was one of the nntnicipaiftvss quarto-centennial of the Emperor's reign.
 The original design for this 9oun- tain was finished and shown at an art exhibition twelve years ago After having been approved by the police authorities, the design came back to the City Hall with the in6ornnatlon that the Emperor declined to pass it.
 His criticism was that the nsursB rep resenting the famous cflaracteNs in fairy stories were made mere details in the general architectural scheme % that the children, for whom the GOun- tain was intended. could scarcely rec ognize their story book favoritea. Eis Majesty recommended that thiB ''grown-up" al1egorical design bs re- 1ected, the fairy heroes and heToiuss be brought together in groups. and above all he advised the municipal officials to secure the services of some sculptor who had shown his ability fo do work in a way that appealed sto7 children.
 The Emperor's interference eaused much unfriendly criticism in the news papers and the city fathers argued that he had exceeded his authority Nevertheless, they appointed a com mittee to consider his sr1ggestions. The services of a Munich sculptor were secured. and after several years a new design was approved by both the EiEn- peror and the city

The whole conception is a happy one the poetry of the child life Is -flttlngLy embodied in lasting stone amid beau tifuI surroundings, and it Is agreed on all sides that much credit, for the final success of the idea, is due Emperor William for his rejection Of the first designs.

| Washington, April 21.-When the
American fleet sails for the Mediter-

/ of nearly twice the muzzle energy of

world in 1907 by former President
Roosevelt and a fleet of half again as

the Mediterranean in divisions 1t was
the original plan in connection with
the opening of the Panama canal to
have the fleet pass through from the
Atlantic to the Pacific about January
1st the tentative date. of the opening.
This practically is disarranged by the
decision to send the fleet abroad but
it was pointed out today that from the
Mediterranean 1t is a short voyage
through the Suez canal and into the
Pacific. The fleet could return that way
making the passage through the canal
from the Pacific to the Atlantic.
The main ships of the line to go on
the January cruise will be the battle
ships Wyoming, Florida, Arkansas,
Delaware, Dakota, Utah, Vermont,
Louisiana, Michigan. New Hampshire.
South Carolina, Virginia, Georgia,
Nebraska, New Jersey. Rhode Island,
Minnesota, Connecticut, Kansas and
Idaho.
Comparing these ships with the battle
fleet which went around the world they
aggregate a tonnage of 1854, 500 as
against 223, 500.
In round figures, the muzzle energy
of the battle fleet of 1907 summed up

WITH new LEADERS.
That Is Only Way Harmony Can
Come, Says Nj. B. Light.

Harmony in the Republican ranks
in Kansas will only be secured when
both factions agree to the select1on
of new leaders, according to M. b
Light a well known Winfield bank
er, Light. who is in Topeka today, is
a pronounced Progressive, but be-
lieves that there is nothing to be
gained by further faetional fighting.
PERSONALLY / would like to see the
two factions get together" said Light,
land am willing to do what l can in
the interest of harmony L think
there are many members of both fac
tions in Cowley county who look at
the matter just as 1 do. The only
sure harmony program. though, is the
elimination of all factional leaders
and the selection of new men who
will do the leading until the party gets
back in shape again"
Cowley county will send a delega-
ton to the statewide harmony meet
ing in Topeka June 3, according to
Light. The date for the Cowley coun-
ty caucuses have not been announced.
Along with the talk of harmony
comes word of running Secretary of
State Charles Sessions as the har-
mony candidate for governor.
