Baden. Baden. Germany. Feb. a.
The controversy over the friction be-
tween the American and German adj
mirals in Manila bay, al the time of
the Spanlsh-American war, which
has been revived by the narrative of
Admiral Dewey recently published,
was made the subject of statement
to the Associated Press today by Ad-
miral Won Diederichs. commander Of
the German warships
Admiral Won Diederchs attributed
the trouhles between the Germans and
Americans largely to malicious reports
in the English papers in China and
the absence Of regulations governing
the blockade and the movements of
foreign warships He indicated, how
ever that latent mistrust was re-
sponsible in measure
He was desiroua Of cooperating
with and supporting Admiral Dewey
from the beginning, he said, but the
American admirafs fondness for Cap
tain Chichester, in command Of the
British squadron. and the time Adj
mirai Dewey spent with the British Of
dcers kept him from seeing as much

Band Played American Anthem.
The foundation Of the trouble was
laid with the arrival of the first Ger
man cruiser the irene. It was report
ed IN Manila that the frenes band
played the spanish anthem when pass
ing the American squadron, which
was interpreted to mean that the
Germans were coming to take the
Spanish side AS a matter OF fact,
said the admiral, the band played the
American anthem, but the erroneous
version reached the American sailors
and created III feeling.
The concentration Of the German
squadron in Manila bay. to which
Admiral Dewey objects, was due. ac-
cording to Admiral Won Diederichs, to
a purely fortuitous chain Of circum-
stances.
He believed German interests at
Manila would be adequately protect
ed by the small cruisers Irene and
Cormoran and planned to concentrate
the balance OF his squadron at Tsin-
Tao. The emperor, however, sent a
cable message 10 him TO proceed 20
Manila and assume personel charge.

His Last Editorial

The last editorial written by Har-
wood G. Day, for the Freedom
County Standard, the day before his
death, April IS, 1914, deals the pres
ent administration of the city of ST.
Paul, as we'll as the state of Mime
sofa a severe blow. 1t appeared as
follows bordered in black in the Stan
dard last week: "The government is
sues 1900 liquor licenses in St. Paul
and yet it has only 432 saloons, the
difference, 868, representing the drug
stores and blind pigs that disregard
the state law. 1t is said that about
this same proportion of blind pigs
exist throughout the state and it is
an injustice to the saloon man who
pays the license and fails to receive
protection that he has a right to ex-
pect."

she occupies the entire stage. In art
she has just about painted man off
the face of the earth. Her itching
fingers are now striving to grasp the
lever of finance. With one hand she
beats the worlds harmony on the
keys of the piano and with the other
writes kings messages. One NOM
emit she losses slang at the domestic,
and the next pronounces classic
treatise before an assembly of her
peers.
She has won her way. Thralldom
is slipped off forever. Liberty rust
les in the movement of her skirts,
and independence sits enthroned upon
the white collar of her shirt waist.
She unconcernedly elbows her way
on the street and goes alone to the
theater. She travels across CONT

mountains with the audacity of a

THE AGE OF WOMEN

TT is nonsense for any rhapsodlst
to claim that from the time of
u Adam on woman has held the
trump card. She hasn't. For good
many centuries she wasn't even coun-
ted in the game at all let alone hold
ing a flush hand. She was jostled
out; she was on occasion kicked out.
Katherine had taste of that; so did
Josephine, Mary Stuart, Marie An
toinette, and Carrie Nation.
In the beginning woman was con-
sidered an offensive necessity; later,
when the spirit of chivalry struck
the world she was worshipped as a
luxury; at present she is respected
as an equal.
For a long time it was woman's
sole duty to keep her liege lord and
master happy. at shall be what
o'clock l say it is" was nailed over
every door, and woman unbent be-
fore the awful inscription. She was
chained. There was no breaking away
save in moral degradation and self
destruction. The mold of their fut-
ure was set in the largeness or small
ness of their husbands hearts, and
they are today exactly what men
have made them. In the course of
another century they may be some
thing other than that. The chains
of long ago have been filed off by
the masters who riveted them on.
Women are mighty rapidly coming
into their own. The field of literature
is wide open before them. A maya

for a filing blank, announcing that

was accepted and his name will go

THE WEYERHAEUSER FORTUNE
(From The Duluth Herald.)

From The Duluth Herald.
Nv yHETHER the late Mr.. Wey-
dred millions or billion we
do not know. Undoubtedly he died
very rich, and after all hundred
million dollars means about billion
dollars. Both are more than any man
needs or should have.
What lessons are to be drawn from
this little known but nightly i'm
portant career?
Two lessons-neither new, both vi
tai; one always profitable, the 9th
err perhaps too much belated for be-
ing of high value.
The first lesson is thrift-for thrift
was the foundation of the Weyer-
haeuser wealth. Weyerhaeuser was
thrifty man-thrifty in small things,
when he was poor, or he never would
have been rich, thrifty in big things
later, or he never would have been
among the worlds richest men. His
life teaches-if the lesson is worth
anything to anybody-that a young
man who makes up his mind o be
rich, who lives always within his
income and who sacrifices the many
things that would draw upon his en-
ergies and his funds-he must sac
rifice very much, and good deal of
it is very valuable-can get rich.
The other lesson, which is late, is
that the people should have been
more careful of their common heri-
tage of timber. If they had used ten
per cent of the sagacity Mr.. Weyer-
haeuser used, there would have been
no Weyerhaeuser fortune The tim
Der was theirs, they left it outdoors
and unguarded, and few got very
rich at their expense. 1t is no dis
credit to Weyerhaeuser. The people
having left the gate of such oppor-
tunity open, he would have been fool
ish not to enter. The rest of us who
did not enter were foolish for stay
ing out, if we wanted money.
There will be no more such for
tunes out of timber-but that is more
largely because the timber is gone
than because we are more careful
with the common heritage. We ARE
more careful with it than we were.
There is lock on the stable door
now. But the stall is empty.

If anyone dreamed patriotism was
dead thing in this country of ours,
he must have had that dream dis
proved in the last few days. There
was tendency to bubble in Congress
but every where else men have come
forward with the greatest enthusiasm
and offered their services, have set
partisanship aside and are ready to
show the administration that the coun-
try to a man stands ready to back
it. There may or may not be war;
there is rampant patriotism as big
and strong and genuine as that of
the Sixties.

THE TOWN SPIRIT

IF INTEREST in the opera season
has extended westward to Mon
= tana, it certainly has extended
westward to Mankato. For it. has
never been given before that Man
kato should pride herself in prima
donna of world fame. Mankator has
prided itself in so many things that
it has been distressing to it not to
have sent out one of the worlds first
singing women. Ordinarily the town
might not have been ambitious to pro-
duce prima donna. It can be ina
gined, for instance, that Faribault or
Brainerd is not demanding a pfima
donna; bishop or a pitcher will
serve. And Faribault and Brainerd
are not situated as is Mankato.
There is everything in geographi-
cal location. Mankato is the neigh
Dor and the rival of ST. Peter. What
was once the rivalry between St. Paul
and Minneapolis is still the rivalry
between ST. Peter and Mankato. And
ST. Peter, as all the world and es--
pecially Minnesota knows, produced
Fremstad. Nothing else has so adj
vertised the town. The fact that
five governors have come from ST.,
Peter may have been an advertise
ment which Mankato disliked. But,
after all, governors have habit of
becoming noted chiefly in the. state.
1t is different with prima donnas.
And especially when Nine. Fremstad
made the return home" of three or
four years ago, ST. Peter began, not
to put on airs, but to display the air
which has ever been hers, satisfac-
ton in having sent more distinguished
persons out into the world than any
other town, large OR small, of the
Northwest. At that moment Man
kato began to plot. She has succeed
ed. Macbeth may not be so great
as Fremstad, but she is charming as
herself, both in the liquid voice and
in the delicate vivid personality which
made Glida so appealing. 1t is some
thing to re-establish -Gilda.
There is no state where state pa
triotism is so strong as in Mime
sota And it is largely because these
small towns proclaim their impor-
lance, and emphasize their relation
ships with the larger world. And the
rule works the other way. Macbeth
and Fremstad have been glad tc
claim their relationship with the Min
nesota town, their memories have
gone back to the place and the time
when they only dreamed of becoming
great.
But every one has his dreams and
remembers the place where he
dreamed them. That is no doubt the
reason for all this barking back to
"my lost youth" in the small towns.
Just few days ago several hundred
people now living in the two cities.
people who had once lived in Hast
ings, met together to establish per-
manent relation, to save from out the
obligation of the large dual city the
things that had been precious in the
little town.-The Watch Tower.
