waged by Beardsley, who is fighting

Beardsley is barTicaded in his home.

from the house and walked four
miles through binding snowstorm
to this town. Then she took trolley
to jamestown and was arrested.
j. F. Putnam, overseer of the coun-
ty poor, shot by Beardsley, when he
came to take the children away, has
an even chance for recovery.
Twenty-Five deputies are camped
outside of the little home. Inside he
is chopplng up the furniture to keep
his children from freezing.
Beardsley came from the house
during the night and tore off boards
for fuel, but the deputies did not fire
on him. Occasionally he would fire
shot, but all of them went wide
of the mark.

GERMANS GETTING GRIP
ON AFFAIRS IN ENGLAND
Comment Is Aroused by Number of
Noblemen of Foreign
Extraction.

LONDON, January 10,

LONDON, January 10. 1914.
a good deal of club gossip at the pres
ent moment turns on the extremely
prominent part which is being played in
the land controversy. the navy contro-
versy and other of British national con-
troversies by gentlemen who are either
natives of Germany oy the sons of ma
tives of Germany.
In the time of George 1.-the son of
Franz Barring, Lutheran pastor at
Bremen, settled in England, and from
him are lineally descended, and in male
lines, no fewer than four peers-namely,
the Earl Of Northbrook, the Earl of
burton, to say nothing of baronet in
the person OF Sir Guy Barring, NJ r. But
some generations passed before another
family Of German descent got footing
among the titled and governing classes of
the British empire.
However. in recent Years the rapid
Communication of. British society and
politics has become a striking phenome-
non. and numerous gentlemen. the sons
OF Germans, or themselves of German
birth, have become peers, baronets and
even privy councilors--the aforementioned
an honor which is still more carefully be-
slowed than even peerage. In the last
few years there has also been quite a
large number of German-born naturalized
Englishmen in the house of commons.
a very distinguished student of the
times says that he regards this as one of
the Consequences of the growth Of the
power Of the democracy. In the days
when the great historic families ruled
England it was a harder and a slower
process. for men of admittedly foreign
birth to get a hand in the direct control
of the affairs, Of this insular state.
But while there could be mentioned the
names Of many men of foreign extraction
mostly Germans-who are just now TAX
ing remarkably active interest in Eng
lish affairs. both on the political stage
and behind the scenes, Englishmen who
have attained office and honor and have
thei- fingers ON the pulse of the public
life Of Germany are rather difficult to
find. The subject suggests an interesting
study in national character.
