j, s, AID AFTER WAR
SPURNED IN berlin
Newspapers Answer President
Wilson's Address on Atti-
tude of This Country.

AMSTERDAM, Holland, April e.
Commenting on the address OF Presi-
dent Wilson at the luncheon of the
Associated Press in New York April
20, the vossische Zeitung of Berlin
speaks as follows:
1--WE could believe in the inclination
of the United States after the war to
play the role to which President Will
son refers, namely. to prepare assist
ance for both belligerent parties. II
Americans during the war had acted in
accordance with the principle of as
sistance to neither side.
The purveyors Of arms and ammuni-
ton to adversaries cannot all of sud
den pretend to be the impartial friend
of all belligerents in the negotiations
at the conclusion of war
Says President Is Mistaken.
The Lokal Anzeiger says: president
Wilson is nightly mistaken if he i'm
AGNES his sort of neutrality will be
acknowledged and valued by the bel
ngerents as fair play. 1t is impossible
for Germany and her allies to esteem
as a sign Of 'self-contror one-sided
patronage by the continued liberation
Of a most extensive supply of arms,
combined with humble endurance of all
English oppression OF neutral COM
merce.
so far as Germany is concerned
President Wilson need not trouble
about preparations for help after the
war"
Mr.. Wilson's Remark.
The ideas expressed by President
Wilson and referred to in their COM
ment by these two German newspapers
doubtless are found in the following
paragraph:
Let us think of America before we
think of Europe, in order that America
may be fit to be Europe's friend when
the day of tested friendship comes.
The test of friendship is not now SYM
pathy with the one side or the other,
but getting ready to help both sides
when the struggle is over"

HITS AT OFFICIALS.

Decision of Supreme Court Cuts Off
Contracts Between Officials and Cities.
Following in the wake of decision
OF supreme court yesterday Attorney
General Owen in an opinion to District
Attorney o. III. Bruemmer of Kewau-
nee, held today that every officer of a
county or municipality is prohibited
from having contractual relations with
the county or municipality. Heretofore
it has been held that this prohibition
affected only those officers who had to
actually pass upon the contract, but the
opinion today takes the doctrine the
full length of officialdom. The decision
upon which the opinion is based is that
of the Menasha Woodenware Company
VS.. the Town of Winter. The effect of
the decision and opinion are far
reaching, as it affects every officer
in the state.
In the Winter case orders issued bv
the town board to the town treasurer
in payment of planks furnished to the
town by the town treasurer was pro-
hibited. A town treasurer is not an
officer who acts on the part of
town in the making of contracts or
purchases of this sort Nevertheless
the transactions was declared void.
In other words, every officer of
municipality is prohibited from having
contractual relations with the munich
pality, whether he in his official capa-
city acts on behalf of the municipality
In making the contract or not" says
the opinion of the attorney general.
81 am frank to say that this goes
farther than I have been disposed to
construe this statute, but the supreme
court having thus construed it, it
must be accepted.
Upon the foregoing considerations
you are advised that no bank having a
stakeholder, who is also county officer
or a member of the county board, can
be designated as county depository"

ING, JANUARY 26TH.

Laugh and grow young is the crest
of "The Ham Tree" which comes to
the Rhode opera house on Tuesday
evening January Goth with the famous
comedians, Mcintyre and Heath in
their original roles, under the manage
ment of John Cort. F'The Ham Tree. -
is an elaboration of the Georgia Min
strels'' which Mcintyre and Heath sue
cessfully used in vaudeville. The book
is by George V. Hobart, the music by
Jean Schwartz, and the lyrics by Will
lam Jerome-three things that would
guarantee the show S merit had it not
the reputation those clever comedians
have made for it. Needless to say there
is no plot to be taken seriously, it is
just what the average theatre-goer
would call "corking good show. :"
Alexandra Hamblestonian, played by
James Mcintyre, is lure1 from his en-
ployment in livery stable by Henry
Jones, depicted by Thomas Heath, and
joins the Georgia MINISTRIES as end man.
The minstrel company goes broke, and
the pair are next seen making their
way homeward on foot, while the philo-
sophical Henry torments the pessimistic
Alexandra with glowing descriptions of
imaginary feasts along the road, and
from here to the mansion on Fifth ave-
nue., New York, where they imperson-
ate the Rajah and coHsort of India, Me-
Intyre and Heath make 1.-THE Ham
Tree' one continuous scream. Jorn
Cort has surrounded his stars with d
chorus that is claimed TO be the largest
and best aggregation of dancers on the
stage today, unusually well drilled by
the master craftsman, Ned Wayburn,
whose ability at staging beauty shows
has long been recognized, but possibly
has never been better exemplifod than
in this season s "Ham Tree" The
staging is picture AID the color
schemes in the many costly costumes
are wonderfully worked out. A new
feature has been added in Ebenezer. the
minstrel mule, not man in a mule

fails to rock the house with laughter

.LAUOs PATRIOTISM
OF IRISH AMERICANS

The part that Americans of Irish
birth and descent have taken in the de.
tense and upbuilding of this country
was the general theme of an address
delivered by DR.. Patrick ]. Lennox of
the Catholic University of America at
Mount Olivet Cemetery lat week,
when the graves of deceased members
of the Irish-American Union were
decorated.
Although praying that God will
guide us safely through the present
crisis, If Providence ordains that the
United States be drawn into the great
struggle, say without fear of contra
diction that the Irish will be found
among the first most eager and bravest
defenders of the United States," he
said. THE United States has done
much for the Irishman, but there is a
tendency ir some quarters to deny
the part the Irishman has played in
winning and maintaining the liberty
of this country"

UNIVERSITY CHANCELLOR
UPHOLDs BRYAN'S ACTION

DIR. David Starr Jordan, Chancellor
of Leland Stanford University, and a
member of the Commission of Lasting
Peace and the foremost peace advo-
cate of the world, upheld the stand
taken by w. J. Bryan in his efforts
for peace and his attitude toward the
United States note to Germany. Re-
ferring to the matter in an address
delivered in Minneapolis, DIR. Jordan
said:
"In a. discussion with the Japanese
government in 1913 Mr.. Bryan made
this important addition to the Ian
guage of American diplomacy: There
is no finality among friends
"A finality or ultimatum is, of neces'
sity, unfriendly in its tone. 1t means
obey or resist and the tendency is to
resist. And for this reason the ulti.
matum is the most deadly weapon OF
diplomacy.
Don't Want to Fight.
1.-THE Lusitania affair has shocked
the world, the Presidents statement
in regard to 1t met with the world's
approval, but we do not want to flght
Germany on account Of that affair.
Nothing could be more illogical q.
