New Haven Makes Peace With Gov.

ernment.
Attorney General McReynolds re-
ceived word Tuesday night from New
York that the directors of the New
Haven railroad have agreed Ito his
terms for peaceful dissolution of
the system which will put an end to
;he court proceeding begun there sew
ersl weeks ago.
Department of justice officials,
asked some time ago if there was
any possible way to avoid fighting
the suit through the courts, replied
the only way was to carry out the
terms of the agreement for dissolu-
ton made months ago. Attorney
General McReynolds, however, made
his demands regarding the separa-
tion of the Boston & Maine stronger
than formerly.
In the old agreement the trustees
were to hold the New Haven's Bos-
ton & Maine stock for two years and
half. Under the present under
standing they will hold it for only
one year. The attorney general is
expected to see they are in no way
interfered with by the New Haven.
They are expected to dispose of the
stock in - months but failure to
do so on reasonable grounds prob
ably would lead to an extension of

REASON FOR ABUSE.
Jennings Tells Why Governor Blease
Hates Newspapers.

Asking, "Why this abuse of the
newspapers" Mr.. Jennings answered
his question at Darlington Saturday
by declaring it was because the news
papers are educating the people and
causing them to stop following dema-
gogues. Referring to the attacks he
and Mr.. Pollock have made on the
governor, Mr.. Jennings said that, al
though the executive had repeatedly
denounced the newspapers, we've
shown up his record and he's never
said we've lied" He declared that if
all the people were properly educated
"Blease would not last any longer
than one-ounce SNOWFALL in hell"

ed in this country between any of the
armies now engaged in war in Eu-
rope. The German troops are still

possession of the forts around the
city.
It has been reported that the in
tention of the Germans is to send an
army to the north of Liege, with the
view of taking the forts from the

opposition from both English and
French troops, who under no circum-
stances would allow the Germans to
flank the Belgian forts.
Numerous skirmishes are reported
along the Franco-German frontier,
but none of them are of serious i'm
port. It is stated that the German
troops were unsuccessful in their at
tempt to drive he French out of
Muelhausen, which was taken by the
French several days ago. 1t is also
reported that a superior force of
Germans compelled the French to
take up position outside Of Muel-
hansen, where an engagement was
fought, with success to the French.
Reports of sharp encounters along
the Austro-Russian frontier came
through the wires Tuesday. Aus
trian troops are reported to have
taken Miechow, in Russian Poland,
while the Russians officially an
nounce the dislodgment of body of
.Austrians at Zaletche, in Austrian
Galicia.
Russia is concentrating strong
army in Finland. 1t is also reported
that six carloads of German prison
ers passed through Wilma Tuesday
bound for St. Petersburg, which
seem to indicate an engagement on
the Russo-German frontier.
A Belgian official report gives the
German loss around Liege as 1000
killed, 10000 wounded, $500 pris-

to the utmost of the country's re-
sources. Last year alone the Bel
gium state borrowed s62,000,000 for
defense aid it had borrowed much
more before. War among the great
powers was then in the air. Ant
werp was to be made IN impregnable
fortress against either the German
or the French advance.
But the little lamb, the buffer
state, is only really safe when all the
wolves are watching one another, or
fighting one another about her.
Holland, on her part, has not beer
idle either Her engineers have
spent eight years in establishing a
cl ain of Notifications strong enough
to protect her against Germany.
Whether they shall prove sufficient
to do it is another question But
the big wolves of the great powers
will fight among themselves for her
neutrality also, and sch, the little
lamb, may not yet be deVoureo.
An Apple of Discord.
Luxembourg, the third buffer state,
has long been an apple Of discord be-
tween France and Germany. It can
not be invaded by either with i'm
punity. It's immediate proximity to
Belgium and the Rhine make it OF
the highest strategic Importance to
both. In French hands. it would be-
come an open door to Germany.
The Fatherland, on the other
hand, displayed the most tender in
terest in Luxembourg because it has
furnished three Emperors to Ger
many in the olden time. This solici-
tude was so great with Bismarck that
he used all his cunning to prevent its
to France when France !
was in a position to get it in 1856,
Prussia being then at war with Aus
tria. Napoleon III was promised
Luxemburg by Bismarck if France
did not intervene and take Austria's
part. When the war was done and
Austria vanquished, Bismarck could
not give Luxem burg up. Sentiment
over those three emperors from Lux
emburg overcame him. Emotion in
statecraft kept the little Duchy still
a buffer state.
The wolves will watch it and fight
over it, the same as over Belgium
and Holland Perhaps, in conse-
quence. the little lamb may yet re-

he has allowed the kings to grow so
envious one of the other, so quarrel
some among themselves. Their am
bition is dividing them to the doom
Of downfall and extinction. 1t will
spread peace in the end among the
millions of common folk, who have
endured sovereignty for so many gen.
erations that they have grown docile
and submissive to its commands, and
fearful of throwing it off. Greed,
selfishness, collosal lust for gain will
be the instrument OF Fate, making
for freedom and the right to live,
for the people, instead Of the COM
mand to die.
To Crush Republicanism.
Germany intends, as q supreme
effort of this war, to crush republi-
caniSm in France But it is German
sovereignty which has created the
now republican France. Had William
I and Bismarck possessed not quite
so ferocious an appetite in the France
of 1870, Napoleon III would have
remained upon the throne in France.
His descendants would probably be
ruling there to-day, in government
of monarchial principles Of service
to William II instead of that, there
is a France which presents such a
triumph of democracy as to imperil
his throne in time of peace and must
now become the object of his weight

WHAT'S WRONG WITH BURLEsON?

We do not believe that Postmaster General
Rarleson fully appreciates the situation in the
Ninth Virginia district or he would not pursue
lis present policy Of requesting Senator'S Martin
and Swanson to recommend candidates for
postofllces and then refusing to appoint them
The statement given to our Washington cor
respondent by the Virginia senators defining
their attitude toward the Ninth district appoint
ments is very clear and requires no further
calculation. 1t has been a rule OF the postofFce
department to accept the recommendations OF
Democratic senator's for postJnasterships in dis
triets represented by Republicans. Both the
president and the postmaster general have made
these requests OF Senator'S Swanson ard Martin
hut MIR, Burleeon has perHistently either refused
or at least neglected TO make the appointments
contained in these recommendations
The Virginia senators assert that they have
confined their recommendations TO applicants
who had the endorsement of the people Of the re-
spective communities and vera the choice OF
the patrons of the office to be filled 1t Is reason
able in view of the course the postnaster-genera1
has pursued that they should decline TO make
any more recommendations

of redeeming the Ninth district this year, and
