What kind of a background does
your past life afford you? Is it one
in which you occupy a substantial
position in morals and worth, or is
il one that you wish you had altered
by greater attention to the things
in life that would relieve the pict-
ure to better self advantage. We
are prone to point to the foreground
of life's picture in which all the
self-virtues are outlined to their
best advantage, forgetting mean
while, that the background is a sub
ject for criticism by the worlds
eye and judgment. A hazy and
vague background affords relief to
the foreground in many pictures of
character and career, but to the
critical it is not complete picture
in which to Judge all things COM
pletely. Critical world-judgment
demands that the background of
your life defines the details of
your past as well as the foreground
or present. If you nave a back
ground of worth and accomplish
ment that makes pleasing picture
of your life, you are welcome
contributor to the art gallery of life's
priced pictures. The judges who
are appointed to Judge and sum the
worth of your creation IN character
and accomplishment will award you
merit and position of honor and
standing. If. on the other hand
your life's picture contains back
ground of daubs and smudges in
order to enhance the pitiful lack of
virtues that situate themselves in
the foreground thinking thereby
that you have painted a life's pict-
ure to which you can point with
doubtful pride) you are not con-
sidered winning candidate for
honors or merit in life's gallery of
pictured character. If your back
ground in life is such that it has
condemned you to failure and loss
of character, begin now 50 to alter
this error so as to create picture
of worth-of which you can be
proud-that will meet with appro-
val and applause in the worlds
judgment or the judgment of your
immediate fellow men.

Confidence and trust reposed in 9TH
ers is expected to be held inviolate
by it's glver; proving remiss in this
trust is on par with one who en-
beetles from the till of a trusting
employer. No character of strength
will bind itself to retain confidence
that it feels it will be against con-
science and dictates of justice to
maintain, yet how readily do some
accept a confidence from others,
with no other purpose than to use it
as lever for their own selfish advan-
tage or conceited sho " of knowledge.
They think nothing of violating q
confidence because their moral fibre
is of such fimsy weave they are
unable to retain or appreciate conf
dental obligations. To those an at
titude of trust is a signal to open
wide their ears so they can absorb
some bit Of human hy-play behind
the scenes of individual life, that
they can then CAD about among the
birds of their feather and lay bare
to vulgar opinion and criticism that
which should have been shielded
with silence and non-publicity
That this is true is but another straw
showing that the winds Of time have
not cleaned the chaff of disloyalty,
deceit. and hypocrisy from the solid

GERMANY WARNED ENGLAND
OF DANGER TO WORLD PEACE
Semi-OmcinI Statement Issued In Ber-
lin Refers to Secret Pnrieys for
British Itussinn Naval Trentv

Especial Cable to The Times Dispatch ]
BERLIN, November s (Wireiess via
Tuckerton).-A semi official statement
issued to-day accuses Sir Edward Grey
OF trying "characteristically" to de-
ceivc the English people regarding
secret negotiations for naval treaty
entered into between England and
Russia early in July. 1914. Germany
was aware of these negotiations and
warned England that they threatened
the worlds peace.
The statement folio s.:
The German Chancellor. in a speech
on December 90 1914, said:
Al the beginning of July (l9l4) T
gave the English government to I'M
derstand that was informed about her
secret negotiations with Russia re-
Sarding secret naval convention T
called their attention to the serious
dangers for the worlds peace which
were involved in these English policies.
y fortnight later that which had pre-
dicted took place"
ON October IS last Member Outh-
waite. speaking in Parliament asked
Sir Edward Grey whether The German
Chancellor in July. 1914, had informed
the English government that he knew
that Great Britain had made a navy
convention with Russia: II any engage
ments had been entered into. and
whether the state can fulfill those en-
gasements.' To this Sir Edward re-
piled:
To the first part of the question my
answer is in the negative. AS TO the
second part. no military or naval con-
vention with Russia existed before
that of September 4. 1914 which was
not celebrated until several weeks after
the beginning of the war"
Sir Edward Grey's answer IS char
acteristic. He is trying to deceive the
English people again about events, just
as he did on June IL, 1914 Grey sim
ply states that no naval convention
was celebrated'-which was never af-
firmed by the German Chan:elior-hut
he fails to mention the real ncgotia-
tons between Russia and England.
The German Chancellor was in
formed about the English Cabinets de-
cision. after King Georges visit to
Paris in the spring of 1914. to enter
into negotiations with Russia for n
naval convention, and he even knew
that negotiations were started These
facts were communicated by the Ger
man ambassador to Sir Edward Grey,
the ambassador at the same time call
ing his attention to the dangers of this
policy"

HALL, HEAD OF NEW HAVEN,
SOUGHT MELLEN's ADVICE
Latter Applied Phrase maintenance
OF Your Monopoly" In Referring
to Roads Activities.
LETTER WRITTEN IN MAY. 1900
Concerned Interests Controlling Gem
trail New England Road With View
to Buying-Line Later Acquired
by Rockefeller and Others.

NEW YORK, November S.-Govern-
neht attorneys in the trial of the
eleven former directors of the New
Haven Railroad charged with violat-
ING the Sherman law. to-day read into
the record letter from Charles S.
Mellen. former president of the road,
in which he applied the phrase main
tenance OF your monopoly" to the New
liaven's activities in acquiring the COM
petins properties.
Mr. Mellen's letteF said that. through
lack of foresight and delay in the pur-
chase of such properties, the New
Haven had paid "a tremendous price
when. with very little effort, the com
petition could have been stopped at
Its inception, and with very little ex-
penditurc."
The letter was written on May 30.
1900. during Mr.. Mellen's absence from
the New Haven as president of the
Northern Pacific. in response TO re-
quest from John NJ. Hall. then the New
ravens president. to put him in touch
with the interests controlling the Cen
tral New England Railroad, with a
view 10 purchasing 1t. Previous testi-
mony revealed that the New Haven
mad contemplated purchasing the road
the year before. while II was in fore
closure proceedings. but that the direc-
tors, particularly the late j. p. Morgan
and William Rockefeller had objected.
owing to the price asked.
CONDUCTED NEGOTIATIONS
FOR ROADS ACQUISITION
Their opinion. it was disclosed was
not then in accord with that of either
Hall or Mellen, although four years
later Messrs. Morgan and Rockefeller
were revealed as conducting negotia-
ions for the roads acquisition.
Chester w. Chaplin. former owner of
the Central New England. preceded Mr.
Mellen on the stand, and told how the
completion of that line was held IN
by inability to obtain thirty rods in
right OF way. and was finally compelled
TO build around farm. Chaplin was
able TO recall little about the litigation,
which the government alleges was in
situted by the New Haven to prevent
the road crossing the farm, but, he
testified that las soon as we got
around, the New Haven lost interest I'm
the matter"
Chaplin further testified he sold the
Central New England to the New
Haven through William Rockefeller
and other New Have: directors
1T was Mr.. Morgan who first spoke
to me about selling the road" he said.
