BY THEuD0RE sUTRo.

Editor Of the New Yort German Journal
New York. Aug. &.-Among the leading
nations OF the world Germany is the
only one that has had no war for the
last forty -four years.
Russia and Japan were fighting only a
few years ago. Previous to that Japan
had her war with China, and Russia her
war with Turkey.
France and Italy had their wars in
Northern Africa. England had her
struggle with the Beers.
The United States and Spain were at
war in 1895. Portugal had a civil war.
Chile and Peru had their war. Austria
Hungary had the occupation Of Bosnia.
Mexico has been one large battlefield
for more than a year.
Germany alone among the big nations
Of the world has kept peace for forty
four years, and for twenty-six out of
these forty-four years a so-called War
lord has been the Emperor OF Germany.
Germany Denies Charge.
England, France. and Russia charge
Germany with having started a great
European war. Germany denies having
been the aggressor.

the meantime II behooves Americans TO

reports that japanese cruisers were en-
gagged in the operations against YAp was
based on the assurances which Japan
had given before she declared war on
Germany that her action would not ex-
tend beyond the China seas. except in
so far as may be necessary to protect
Japanese shipping lines. That was the
language OF a statement made public by
the British foreign ONCE, and later Japan
herself gave assurances of q similar char
acter to this government
The general view expressed here last
night was that the operations against
Yap had consisted merely in the de-
struction of the wireless and cable COM
municaEions and that there would be no
attempt to hold the island, which is
worthless for naval purposes. Doubt
was expressed here whether this gov
ernment could raise any objection to
such action, even by Japanese cruisers,
IL there was no intention to retain con-
troll OF the island.
Not Likely to Hold Island.
Any intention on the Part OF Japan to
retain control % the island of Yap prob
ably would lead TO inquiries on the part
Of this government. II the report that
has reached Manila is true, the belief
here is that Japan has acted merely in
an effort to cut of Germany's 'communi-
cation with the Far East, and that her
interference with the island of Yap win

the cable and the destruction of the wire

the fall of Syracuse before the Roman

GOODWIN

''Evangeline," Longfellow's immor-
tai poem, reproduced in photoplay
form at the Goodwin Theatre, is IN
questionably one of the most deli
cately beautiful works of art of the
kind ever produced.
The cheerful, happy life of the
Aeadian farmers is portrayed so
realistically that the spectator almost
believes he is a part of the scenes
enacted before him, and takes a per-
sonal interest in the pastimes and
more serious occupations of the
peaceful God-fearing community.
Evangeline and the village black
smiths son, Gabriel, love each other
Theirs Is a love which combines all
the ardor of earth with the heavenly
innocence of angels. They are about
to be welded when the English sol
diery arrives and orders the .Acadians
to depart In the brutal enforcement
of this order, the men of the commu-
nifty are separated from the women,
and the village is burned. Evange-
line and Gabriel lose sight of each
other, and. though their search never
ends, they never meet again for
many years. Then, at last, during
a pestilence, Evangeline, who has be-
come a Sister of Mercy, finds Gabriel
among the stricken ones in a hos
pital. The joy of their reunion is
short-lived. Gabriel dies at the mo-
