The Crime of Rheims and Herr
Riders Vision of It's Ai0nement
From the NewY York Tribune
From The New York Tribune.

Those who have been deploring the
destruction OF the cathedral at Rheims
as wanton piece Of savagery have
some illumination coming to them from
the Hon. Herman Ridder, the most IL
ustrious exponent in these parts-Pro-
fessor Munstcrberg eXcepted-of the
cultural value OF German militarism.
We quoted yesterday a comment OF the
New Yorker Hcrold" on the vandalism
at Rheims TO show that many of our
peacefu German Americans even
those born here and therefore never
trained to the famous "goose-step"
out Bernhard Bernhard in their con-
viction that Prussian militarism can
never do anything which does not work
for good.
The Kaiser may feel computations
about the destruction of priceless
monument like the sanctuary OF Rheims.
He NAV even give orders 10 spare a
building immunized not only by speci-
tic paragraphs of the Hague Treaty OF
1907. but by all the traditions OF war
fare since warfare became civilized. The
head of the great church despoiled OF
one OF its most glorious inheritances
may protest against q crime which nc
saws "calls for Gods vengeance" But,
though an ardent member of that
church. our neutral friend OF the
"Staats- -Zeitung" can see in the bonn
bardmont of the Rheims cathedral only
an unavoidable and therefore hardly
censurable act of military necessity
As will be noticed in the editorial
which we reprint elsewhere from yes
terday's "Staats-zeitung," Mr.. Riddel
holds even the ineffective instructions
given to the German gunners TO have
been superfuous concession to senti
mentality As he asserts, Rheims lie'
on the present line of the French at
tack. 1T is the key TO success and The

iustidable to batter down every build
ing in il. even cathedral protected
alike bv its sacred character. by III

use as hospital and a refuge for th'
wounded.
We tried TO show yesterday that tn
French were not holding Rheims as
/ fortress, but as an open town. We ar
! clad TO note that Mr.. Ridder in TN
military review in yesterdays "Staats
! Zctung" TO which his name is appende
(although he states that il is the wor
of German expert) confirms that con

$50 EGGS FOR ONE

$3.50 EGtS fOk ONE
DOLLAR IN CHINA.
In the current issue OF Farm and
Fireside appears an editorial on the
Chinese egg supply, containing the
following interesting facts:
Fifteen years ago the price OF
eggs in the Province OF Shantung,
China, was a dollar for 900 eggs. Now
the price has risen to dollar for
$50. Twenty-seven million eggs we're
exported from this province in 1913,
most of which went to Englan4.
Few Chinese poultry raisers pos
sess more than a dozen or so hens.
They hatch most Of their chickens
in earthenware incubators which are
heated by the fires which warm the
living rooms and the beds-thus all
the heat is saved. We have the word
Of our consul at ChefoO that old
women frequently incubate eggs by
carrying them strapped about their
waists under their outer garments.
This is carrying economy to the
limit, it would seem. Most Chinese
families are too poor to eat eggs even
az the low prices mentioned, and
therefore the entire product. except
that portion used for Matching. is
sold. On the average ten Chinese
eggs weigh a pound"

SPIRIT OF THE
DELMARVIA PRESS
THE NEGRO VOTER.

From the Dover State Sentinel
Yes! The Sentinel is pleased to
note that the Milford Chronicle has a
good word for the negro voter in
Delaware
Is there any reason good reason
why the negro citizen should not
vote for the Republican party candi-
dates? Where else. politically, would
they be safe? To Democrats, all ne
gro voters are ignorant and vicious.
and yet when any one Of them, or
any number of them, can be induced
to betray the best political friends
any people ever had, they are hailed
with acclaim by the Democrats.
In this matter of acceptance by
the Democratic party, we remember
having seen two disfranchised negro
convicts actively at work for the De-
mocratic polls in this State.

If II had been such a key, the German
staff would not have deliberately
abandoned it in order TO take posi-
tion few miles further north. MI
Riders own expert apparently sustains
the French governments contention
that there was nos real military neces-
sitv ioir indulgiug in the wholesale
bomhardment which caused the destruc'
tion of the Rheims Cathedral.
But questions of military necessity and
Justification apart our neutral friend
finds the loss TO the world just caused
by German vandalism TO be much over
rated What does one poor, ancient
cathedral more OF less matter in a war
for the spread OF German culture 2"
Already Mr. Ridder has vision of
more graudiosc substitute for the ven
cradle sanctuary smashed by the Ger
man guns Only let Germany win this
war, he says. and it will rear a stuc-
ture far more stately than the archi-
tects of the Rheims Cathedral ever
dreamed Of Thus he consoles "A world
grieved and outraged by the loss Of one
of civilizations richest treasures:
"Germany will be victorious, for she
must be victorious And out of that
victory a new and splendid building will
arise. a peace palace with which that at
The Hague viii not compare. For the
Germans fight for the restoration OF
peace. of which the intriguers and the
stirrcrs-up of trouble and the envy
eaten and the liars have robbed the
world. Germany fights for the highest
! fruits of culture which humanity can
reap the benefits of only under the as
/ surance of permanent peace
"From the bloody seed which is being
sown today a new and lordly harvest
win be gathered. And its ripe fruit will
be an entirely new era. An era of the
free competition of all powers-even OF
the powers of the spirit And a cathed-
raj will be erected under whose dome
permanent peace viii be enthroned and
in whose aisles the peoples will come
together for the common worship OF the
highest aspirations of humanity.
Therefore Germany will win. Ger

DO NOT
 KNOW HEADQUARTERS

Washington, Jan. Considerable confusion exists here among suffrage leaders because of the establishment of two separate and distinct head quarters, each working for com mon cause-an amendment to the con stitution giving women the right to vote. The ellairmen in charge of the Headquarters, however, declare that they are on friendly relations with each other and will continue their campaign for the ..cause.
 For nearly year the tGongressior1- aI Union, suffrage committee has had Headquarters here and under the lead ership of. Miss Alice Paul. has direct led the fight before Conventions for a amendment. Recently Mrs. Medin Mccormick, of Chicago, was made chairman of the "Congress- ional committee of the National woman's Suffrage Association She has quarters several blocks away from the ssCongressiona1 Union headquar- ters and yesterday issued signed statement designating her offices as Headquarters.
 Suffrage workers were at a loss as to which Headquarters they would support.
