watching every stroller carefully be-
cause they were the judges. They saw
a man In a dark cutaway spats. silk

the best dressed man in the parade.
So Miss Stewart tapped him on the
shoulder and asked him to step around

Mr.. Hughcs--.or ho II was--wanted to
know why he should step around the

British Regard Dem,burg
Statement as Negligible
First Demand of Allies Will Be for Restoration OF Bel
gian Independence and Compensation to Her
for Losses Due to Invasion.


Germanys demands is rega rded IN quar-.
ters sympathetic with the Allies as q
clever hi, Of special pleading on tho part
Of tn. German unofficial envoy to the
American public.
II may be said that there is nothing in
Or. Dernburg's long letter to his friends
In Portland. Me. which the British or
their allies are prepared To accept. II IA
held that Dr Dernburg is simply giving
expression TO the German complaint
agaist the shoe that pinches; that his
statements, while undoubtedly expressing
the Views of Berlin and Germans gem
orally. are the result Of Germany's ex-
perences in eight months VI actual war
rather than the voicing of Germanys
international Ideals.
British opinion has ready answer to
all that Dr. Dernburg has to say in
regard to Belgium. Tho reply is that
inasmuch as tho Allies arc pledged to
restore the independence and territorial
integrity of Belgium and to get adc
auate compensation for her, Belgium IL
hardly a subject on which there can
he any bargaining between them and
Germany. Their view II that the ques-
ton OF Belgium was settled In the first
weeks OF the war and that it is merely
"A matter OF time before the pledges OF
the Allies Will be fulfilled.
British opinion il that the German re-
marks about needing Belgium for an
outlet for Germany's trade are iusn-
cere, TO say the least. II Is charged that
the only reason that Germany wants
Belgium Is FOR military purposes just
as she wants Dunkirk and Calais in
order to aid her in an offensive against
Great Britain. II is declared that Bre-
men aud Hamburg have not yet proved
themselves insufficient as outlets for
GerInanys trade, together with Ainster-
dam and Rotterdam in Holland. Con-
sequently. DR.. Dernburs's arguments on
this subject OF Germany's views as to
Belgium receive scint consideration.
In connection with Or. Dernburs's
plea that Germany is fighting for the
freedom OF the seas, Il is declared that
