Who Declared WARP

A meeting of over 1000 persons OF
German descent was held at Newark,
~ j.. on Sunday afternoon. The Sun
reports as follows:
All the speakers were emphatic in
their assertions that Germany deserved
fairer treatment from the newspapers
The editorials, they said. blamed
Emperor William for starting the war.
They said he didn't declare the war, as
he didn't have the power to. This was
done by the Reichstag.
These speakers, if correctly reported,
do not know the constitution OF the Ger
man empire. There are two legislative
bodies-the Bundesrath, or federal coun-
Gil. appointed by the governments of the
various states; and the Reichstag. elected
by universal suffrage. According to the
eleventh article Of the constitution. the
German emperor. with the consent of
the Bundesrath. can declare war, make
peace and conclude treaties. IT, how
ever. the territory Of the empire Is at
tackled. he does not need even the Bun
desrath's consent to declare war. but can
act Independently. And thus, in either
case. war l. declared without authorize
tion Of the Reichstag, the house that
represents the people.-Boston Herald.

be one of the leading of its class and as
being one of the most expensive ever or
ganized TO present this line OF amuse

music, new novelties and original ideas

cast are not occupied rendering matters

composed of several high-grade vaude-
vile stunts, they are the kind that not
alone please but have merit as well. 1t
is seldom that acts of such a character
are seen outside the larger cities. They
will certainly make the most fastidious
seeker after amusement sit up and take
notice.

Mr.. Gates is now in his most useful po-
sition as state highway commissioner,

There is no doubt, as the Rutland con-
temporary hints, that someone will bring
out the old statement that Charles w.
Gates is too good a state highway com
missioner to lose this year; but the
statement is rather worn out in view Of
the fact that the states road policy is
well established and is under the direct
OF county supervisors who
have worked under Commissioner Gatt
for some time, so that they are acquaint.
ed with his methods of road building.

could under him as commissioner. There |

the Indians and their white esptives set

interesting feature for the tourist pass

IF China had real backbone she would
resent the paternal attitude assumed by
japan toward her in the proposal to
wrest Kiau-Chau from the Germans and
restore it to China, from whom it was
taken in recompense for the murder of
some German missionaries. Possibly
China does resent the interference and
the assumption that she is weakling
of such puny strength as to require a
guardian in this situation. China is yet
to be heard from in connection with the
Japanese ultimatum to Germany.

Manifestly some of the stories Of Eu-
ropean experiences being told by Amer
lean refugees need to be passed upon by
the censor before they are accepted for
their face value. There is no doubt that
many of these people went through un-
usual experiences and some of them may
have suffered real hardship in getting
bacl; home; but at such times as the
present the stories are quite apt to be
magnifed beyond reason There is pos
sibility that such magnifying is going

those who are relating the tales.
