The German reply is a clear refus-
al to give the assurances that enemy
ships will be spared even though it
would take the lives Of Americans to
sink them, and leaves in the United
States the alternative Of accepting
compromise offered by Germany or
Of severing the friendly relations be-.

the German note is of character
to require further consideration
which creates strong probability of
an honorable and a peaceful adjust

The fatal fault in Germany's reply
to the American note is that there is
no disavoWal Of the assault on the

is continuing its play for delay is only
too evident.

BJLLY SUNDAY DIsPLEASED.

It appears that the Rev. Billy Sun
 day is not having as easy a time driv-
 ing the devil out of Paterson as he expected It may be that the old
 boy is too thoroughly intrenched in the city and that Billy isn't big
 enough for the job. Instead of de- voting all his time to fighting Auld
 Horney he is giving some of it to
 newspaper reporters whom he char
 acterizes as liars an some other things. Just what has caused this outbreak is not made plain in the columns of the press. but the ep- ithets would seem to indicate that in Billy's opinion they have not been telling the truth about him or per haps are ridiculing the character of the services. The result is that the expected and it is apparent that up
 to the present time Billy has not got Paterson. '.t There has been enough said by way or comment LII the DlS INeW IoIh dailies to suggest that there is some opposition to Bifly's manner of cam
 paigning, both as to what he says and how he says it. Hc has, however, been drawing well until he struck
 Paterson and the money has been com ing in in large sums. The collections l which it is said are taken up in dish ] pans in Paterson, are however, com , paratively small. The tabernacle is not filled at afternoon meetings but l there Is a larger number present in 1 the evening.
 There has been some talk of having ] the evangelist open meetings in Bcs- ton and in New York, but while a | willingness to have him come to the former city has been manifested there i has been no enthusiasm to have him | tackle the job of chasing the devil | out of New York. It may be that 1 Billy is losing some of his magnetism | and that he is not as well able to | enthuse the people in some localities l as he is in some others. He was a l power in Philadelphia. but he is not so successful in Paterson, where, by l the way, the folks are a bit more live l ly than in the other city. The news liking either. s,' .s...

acting on a gram for second, gives it velocity of a centimeter a second, the equivalent of the force exerted by milligram weight under the in f1uence of gravity.
 In the electrical vocabulary the quantity of electricity conveyed in one second by the current produced by an electromotive force of one volt acting in circuit, with a resistance of one ohm is termed q coulomb, from a French electrician of that name. It was formerly called a weber from a German professor, and is also termed a maxwell from an English physicist: unlike the examinations in the school system here called MaXwells from the superintendent of education, a former resident of Brooklyn, now living in Flushing.

What You Ought to Know.
(Brooklyn Standardization, )


 The rate for electricity in Manhat- tan has just been reduced from ten cents to eight cents per kilowatt hour If one not versed in technical terms asks what kilowatt hour Is he will be told that it is unit of energy equal to that done by one kilowatt acting for one hour, or, in other words, it is the equivalent of 1.34 horsepower working an hour. It is also generally known that a kilowatt is Il thousand watts. But what may watt be? This takes it's name from James Watt. the Scotch inventor and represents work done at the rate of one joule second or in d electric current by one Ampere under the pressure of one volt. One horse power is TAG watts.
 The latter two terms are better known than the former. The volt is the unit of electrom force, or that force which applied to con- ductor with resistance of one ohm will produce a current of one ampere. An ampere. which term preserves the name of French electrician. Is the practical unit of electrical current. An ohm, from a German scientist of that name, IS the practical unit or l electrical resistance.
 To revert now to the joule, which should be pronounced as "ou' in our, | but in this country is usual called | 'jool." is derived from the surname 1 of an English physicist. This is a l unit of energy equal to 10.7 ergs. 1 An erg in it's turn represents tl.e amount of work performed by q | dyne working through a distance of 1 one centimeter, or two-fifths of an inch. A dyne is unit of force, which

Grosvenor Dave Explains His Address
 of Last Night.

Editor Herald:-In one of the inn
 portant Hartford papers this morn
 ing appears an account of the speech
 which I had the pleasure of deliver
 ing before the New Britain Chamber
 of Commerce last night. ~. The headline used is misleading
 It says "Grosvenor Dave Plays Gov
 ernment." Those who were present
 at the meeting, of course. know that
 there was no denunciation of our na- tional government With all seriousness, I attempted
 to show that we have, in d measure, lost our sense of national balance, in
 that we have a tendency to legslate for agriculture and for labor in a
 more liberal way than we have leg
 islated for business. This is not
 at all party tendency. Misappre- 1 hension of the relation of the three great forces of national life, agricul- ture, labor and commerce-has been in evidence in our political life with out regard to party utilization.
 The main point of the brief state
 ment of last night was that business men in a very marked degree, have neglected their duties by drawing aside and permitting a denunciation of bus
 mess, without taking the very right and safe position that business, or the interchanges of goods and nec-
 essities of every kind. is just as re- spectabIe and just as essential and in it's totality, just as honest as the growing and selling of food stuffs or the bargaining for the sale of labor capacity at a price. .... i. .& So firmly. am I convinced of the value of a democratic government, that instead of any man attempting to Hay" political conditions that do not
 meet with his approval, he should at tempt by interchange of thought and of opinion to bring the majority into agreement relative to correcting con- ditions that seem to him unsatisfac- tory.
 Our political institutions are so pre- cicus and the right of the majority so essential to the maintenance of those institutions, that denunciation is a1- ways a mistake. s. '..
 The great lesson which has been set the business forces of the nation in the last twenty wears is that bus mess men must come into more intelligent activity in public affairs. | This was the burden of that which I had to say last night. Your read | CTS will immediately perceive that
 such a line of thought is quite dis l tinct from the tendency indicated by l the headline referred to.

\ Lost BonifaCc.
(New York Press

Once upon time there was a man who kept a restaurant in New York. He kept it because he con ducted his business with ono eye on the profits and the other on the comfort of his patrons. Thus neither got away from him.
 This man was altogether d strange character. He never allowed walters to be backward in serving water in the hope that something more costly might be ordered. He never allowed walters to suggest roast canvasback duck to all corners and look dis gusted and contemptuous when some mere s2 entry was ordered instead. He never encouraged walters to drive diners through their meal under whip and spur so that the table might pay as big returns as possible and so that the waiter could pay himself in ad- ditional fees. His gall fell short ut a bread and butter" charge.
 In this remarkable restaurant you could daily over your coffee and cigar for half an hour without hay ing your ears constantly bombarded with muttered imprecations from the walters side lines.
 There was such a restaurant keeper once. but he died long ago and left no successors.

T .
 Woman suffrage khas again been beaten in Connecticut, the bill being 1 defeated in the house yesterday by the small but sufficient majority of eighteen votes. There are some who are we'll pleased and there are othe rs the time when the women will win. They came close to 1t this time and 1t must be admitted that the women have made some progress. The de- feat of the measure was foresha dow ed iii an unfavorable committee report.
 This defeat is only temporary and woman suffrage in this state for good, because the women propose to keep campaigning until they win. There is no doubt but that they present q good argument and were it not for the fact they are women it might be said a convincing argument. The opposition is made of a natural an tipathy to having women mixing into politics, not because of a lack or ln- telligence but many do not want to see women engaged in the settlement of public questions which so often disturbs tho pleasant relationship hitherto existing among people and which must also result in the trou- bles and. bickerings which appear to be the natural outcome of active par ticipation in the game of politics. When the matter is reduced to an argument the women always have the best of 1t, so far as words are con- cerned, but back of 1t all Is that natural opposition which man does not seem able to explain satisfactorily and as result the woman, if she understands the case, and she usually does, has the better of the dispute. The supporters of woman suffrage are often held up to ridicule and there is hardly any doubt but some of them do say some funny things. There will be lull in the campaign now for while, but the women will soon resume their work Of conversion and there are some indications that they may have better luck next time

Railroad Bought for S1.
(kansas City Star.)

Here's how the Kansas Southwest ern railroad, 60 miles long, between Arkansas City and Caldwell, Kan, was sold few months ago for $1,
 The road was owned jointly by the Atchison, Topeka and Santa Fe and the St. Louis and San Francisco rail roads. It was badly involved and in poor physical condition. The Kan sas state public utilities commission had just issued an order that s15O,0Oo should be spent to put it in better condition.
 E. p. Ripley, president of the Santa Fe and w. B. Biddle, one of the three receivers for the Frisco. met to talk over what was to be done about the commissioners new order.
 How would you like to buy the road " MT. Riddle asked.
 'Ill name a price, give or take,'' Mir. Ripley said.
 'Go ahead" the Frisco receiver said.
 'One dollar" Mir. Ripley responded.
 ''Fll take it." MT. Riddle snapped.
 And that's the way the Santa Fe acquired full tiae to the ownership of the branch road The story came out when a Santa Fe official told it at the John w.. Weeks luncheon.

and the clowns, the equestrians and the tight rope walkers, is not to be discovered.
 Did the transient uncertainty them of the circus show help to make it at tractive? Would 1t rain or would the sun shine? Would the mysterious palace of canvas be heavy with the untimely waters or would its walls stand white in the sunlight? The horses tethered outside, the flaming alcohol torches, the elephants sway ing at their pegs in the scattered hay, the pink lemonade and the pea /nuts-were all these really such i'm portant characteristics of the circus as to take part of its charm and mys- tery along with them when they dis appeared from the programmes?
 Only a comparative statement of the success of the circus is its tents and between it's brick walls would tell the story accurately. But who does not confess to a sense Of loss that these chara cteristics of old time circus days have passed?

The Sawdust Ring.
(New York Sum-

Is another established form of appear? Is the circus, which in the form it has possessed for half cen- tury is genuinely native, to follow negro minitrsley out of the taste of it's public? There are already pessi- lnists who say that the essential char acteristic passed away altogether when the ring was surrounded by four walls instead of its canvas dra- peries and it's roof because a fixed dimension. Did half it's charm really reside in the temporary nature of the walls which housed it?
 The excellent circus which is just now amusing its spectators in the home of all our circuses tarries with Garden but a short part of the period it used to spend there. Yet it has lost none of the quality which for merly made it welcome during Q longer time. The circus which was visible at the Hippodrome could not well have been better so far as it's entertainment was concerned. but it was powerless to hold at bay the ad- Nancing movies which have now taken its place. It happens that the circus performances are just now capable of being as excellent in quality as their promoters want to make them, since conditions in Europe have sent here the members of that profession usu- ally employed abroad. Still. the old time enthusiasm about the acrobats

It's Hay. Hogs, and Horniny."

(Atlanta Dispatch to Philadelphia Public LedgerD
 With the assurance that the south
 has at last needed the hay. hogs,
 and hominy" slogan. abandoned the
 cne-crop system. and set about
 ernestly to diversity her crops. south ern boards of trade and commercial and industrial organizations of all kinds are busy advising the farmers
 how to adjust themselves to these new conditions.
 Editors, educators and lecturers have dinned into the ears of the farmers the idea thst the south can grow as fine quality oc hay as the
 west. With this idea in view, an in-
 vestigation recently was made. The
 farmers asserted there was no market
 for the peavine hay.
 The commission grain merchants were then moved on. They acknowl-
 edged that they did not care to buy
 peavine hay, and gave their reasons.
 It was not cured properly, they said;
 was not baled properly, and, in adj dition, possessed a fattening quality,
 which made it unsuitable for work animals. As d result the south has now propaganda of education on how to cure and bale hay.
 rather unique plan for improv- ing the grade of southern cattle is being urged, and to this idea the farmers have taken readily. The county commissioners of every | county in every southern state arc urged to purchase a thoroughbred sire of one of the best breeds of cat tie for the free use of the farmers of the county.
 Along this same line of diversifica- tion it is also proposed that every | southern town have a market day. While a complete revolution can I not be expected in one year, the de- crease of nearly fifty per cent. in the sale of fertilizer tags this year and the unquestionably large cut in cot ton acreage show that King Cotton is tottering on his throne. The great est fear is that a high price of cot ton next year, due to the crop short age, will plunge the southern farmer
 back to where he came from to the amending field of white.

Shirts and Social Welfare. New York World.D

1t might once have puzzled the or djnary citizen to discover what the relation is between the government of great city and the price a street. cleaner pays for his undershirt or his wife for her corset-cover. But that, of course, was before the days of social welfare. Now anybody who knows anything at all is well aware that it is the duty of government 10 inquire into such matters with a view to increasing the efficiency of employees by correcting any errors of individual judgment on their part in the purchase Of their undergarments. In the shirt makes the man, it is essential that he should wear the right Kind of shirt and pay the right price for it. and so also of his wife's corset-cover and garters.
 It is therefore greatly to be desired that the White Wings and their wives should answer the formal ques- tions asked them by tho Bureau of Standards and fill out the blanks. To refuse to do so will be 'anti-sociar' and antagonistic to uplift principles. Besides. it will leave various worthy city officials with less to do to earn their salaries. Then, when the mass of data is all in and compiled and tabulated and analysed and reviewed somebody can evolve an official theory for the standardization of shirts and corset-covers for purposes of efficiency. and the world will wag on that much the wiser.
 One of the benefits of modern gov ernment that it has money to spend for such things. But surely that is an irrelevant if not impertinent in- quiry of Alderman Bowling. who wants also to know what the wives of city officials pay for their stockings, etc. What have such questions to do with public officials? They are the upliftcrs, not the uplifted
