Docs ANYBODY imagine that this government will
permit tho German to spend three weeks at New

American ship? Could Great Britain France and
Russia view such a proceeding in any other way
than as a hostile ono on the part of the United

weeks. or anything like it, to fit her for voyage
to the nearest German port, which is all she is
entitled to.
The Eiters commander must be ridicung us
when he suggests three weeks repairs to a ship
of war. A reasonable expectation is that he
will be given twenty-four hours to make up his
mind whether to intern his ship or to make abso-
lutey necessary repairs in hurry and put to sea,
where destruction capture awaits him. Then he
will shut off his "hot air" and decide intern
ment.
In the meantime full reparation from Germany
should be swiftly forthcoming and the disposition
of the Eiters prisoners decided upon The herding
Of these prisoners on ship in one of our ports is
repugnant to Americans. If it is decided to let
those eligible for admission to this country remain

A Notable Literary Centenary.

Celebrating ii, tooth anniversary year the
North American Review is making 1915 notable in
American periodical literature. Its ISSUE for March
is described as the third centennial number. and it
lis quite the equal in wealth and abundance OF ma
terial OF the two numbers which preceded ii. We
are not permitted to know how many more of
these centennial numbers contemplated, but the
North Americans readers are convinced THAT a
lavish host is making the centenary memorable.
To Col. George Harvey, the renowned editor
OF this solitary centurion among American maya
zines. must be given credit for spreading upon its
pages the fertile thoughts of the soundest thinkers,
the deepest students and the of widest ex-
pcricncc in the subjects OF which they write With
a galaxy OF contributors including James Bryce,
Joseph II. Choate, William Dean Howells, Alfred

Hardy George Won l.. Meyer and Francis g..
Peabody the North American has no need to Sing
its own praises at the entrance upon its second
century. Its whole enduring history, its high
ideals, its prcsent-day progress and prosperity
should tend to relieve the apprehensionS OF those
inclined to a peSsimistc contemplation of Ameri-
can frivolity and indifference to the things that
count in civilization and the worlds progress.

1--WE don't try to do one thing
at time. We try to do two
things at a time than two things. We
attend to the thing in hand and we distract our
selves by thinking OF other thing of a
multitude of things. In this way we keep our
minds, not tranquil they should be, but seething.
The mind loves to do thing at time. In
this way only it fulhlls its nature. By being sub
ectcd to the effort to make it do more, it flies like
a shuttle from one thing TO another. The marvel
is that, under such circumstances, IT can do as well
as it docs. But, OF course under such circum-
stances, it never docs its best The really sue
cessful people OF the world, the calm, well-poiSed
natures open to the sources OF wholcsomencss and
OF power, have a genius for never trying to do
more than thing each moment OF their con-
scous lives They know the folly of trying to
do more, the nervous tension, the furry, the in
eptitudc the waste and the failure none the less
certain, because, from the point of view OF the
world, it may seem like success. They know that
