ALL GERMANS ARE
very Confident
People are Unmindful of the
Terrible Price Conflict

(By Steven Burnett.l


international News Service.)
Rotterdam, Oct. 5.-German conf
dence in victory is strong at q rock.
Neither Gee or failure in any way
changes the belief in the final tri-
umph. I a say this after talking
with representatives Of every class In
Germany, high and low in the last
few days.
+ Since the Franco-Prussian war ev.
cry German has considered the gen.
oral staff infallible. This is largely
the explanation Of the strong self
confidence which has been observ-
able since the outbreak Of the war.
The overwhelming series Of reports
OF victories has not drawn forth any
demonstration of importance. and ev-
en- less does the Idea that they might
be purchased at the price Of terrible
suffering make any perceptible I'm
preston.
People Not Demonstrative.
Even the victory in the sorely tried
east Prussia which was greeted by
those In government circles with q
deep sigh Of relief produced no strik-
ing manifestation in the street. Still
less did the news Of the sea tight of
Heligoland. In government circles
however, it was regarded a. in the
highest degree disagreeable that the
meet lose SO .m0ch reconnaissance
material. It must be borne In mind
that small. very fast cruisers are a
speciality Of the German naval force.
Politicians Blame England.
And 1t Is sc much, desired to inftc,

The. feeling is the same amongst the
people as in political circles. The pol.
iticians in Berlin see in England the
land which has brought about. the
outbreak Of the war by finely played
intrigue. In order to let dangerous
Russia, bleed herself to death, to the
end that against Germany she may
herself acquire great advantage, both
In trade and on the sea and in orde,
to make France entirely dependent
upon her.

Berlin, Oct. 5.--The destruction of

Mouse was the bold achievement of
two German officers who penetrated
the French lines and made their way
back safely to their comrades.
The. two officers SWAN across the
Meuses and made their way through
swamps and over canals. They passed
n French outposts and bivouacs and
finally reached the railroad embank-
ment, which they blew up with dyna-
mite: After this they cut an under
ground telegraph wire. The follow
ing details are given by a lieutenant
who was one of the participants.

the location of some of the French
outposts, but nothing was known of

location Of the railroad that had been
marked o destruction. The first part
OF the journey was comparatively
easy: Going forward quietly. we soon

MIGHT HAVE ANOTHER MESSAGE

In spite OF President Wilson's neu-
trality message and the sentiment of
the country two American vessels
went out TO supply a German warship
on the Atlantic and were caught in
the act by a British cruiser The
British government merely asked that
our government punish the offenders.
1t now appears that there is no law
for such punishment.
Another message is due from the
president. 1t should be addressed to
all foreign governments, and should
be short and sweet. thus:
when you catch Americans taking
part as belligerents in this war punish
them yourself; we cant"
II is uncalled for and sheer waste
of energy that our administration be
worried over the fate Of Americans
who participate. on one side or the
other, in this war for the sake Of
dirty dollars. Some such notice as the
message we've suggested should be
given. Americas attitude is that of
the neutral. the peace-maker, the un-
prejudiced helper of the suffering
Violation of her neutrality is little
short of treason and If foreign nations
catch Americans at it, they will have
the full consent Of America to deal
with the culprits as best suits them.

COMMISSION GOVERNMENT.

Buffalo, by vote of the people. Will
undertake to govern itself by means
of a commission. Commission gov
eminent has been tried in cities as
large as New Orleans, but it has not
yet been subjected TO a test SO severe
as that which a city as large as Buff

originated in Galveston as an emer-
gency step Immediately after the
flood. and has been adopted mainly
by mid-Western cities, but 1T has also
spread to the east, and even into New
England. so that Buffalo will have
the benefit of nearby examples on
which it can draw for practical sug-
gestions.
Opinion as 10 the universal prac-
ticability of this kind of municipal
government seems 10 be pretty sharp
IL divided. Its advocates are en-
thusiastic in recommending it be-
cause of the case With which malad-
ministration is connected with the de
partment head TO whom the particu-
lar function is intrusted. They also
point TO its simplicity. and the fact
that the business-like character of
the plan encourages substantial bust
ness men TO take an active part in
municipal affairs. Those opposing il
seem TO believe that whatever virtue
the plan has is due to its novelty, and
that i'm time the business man will
relax his interest, and the old system
of government by politicians Will pre-
vail. ON the whole, however, ii is not
shown that commission government
has failed.
Jersey City is sometimes referred TO
as a conspicuous example of the falli-
bility of the system. Certainly the
commission in that city has had
trouble. But even though the people
are not quite satisfied it is not re-
ported that they contemplate a return
to the former state of affairs. In
fact. one of the strongest arguments
now advanced for commission GOV
