you see him." observed Dr.. Dern-
burg. "He is going abroad on this
ship"
MIR. Braun explained that his trip on
the Bergensfjord with DR.. Dernburg
was mere coincidence, and that he was
going through Germany, Austria-Hun-
gary and down into Turkey to procure
news for his paper and a news syndi-
cate that he represents.
DR.. Dernburg, through his secretary,
positively denied all interviews which
have appeared recently purporting to
have been obtained from him, particu-
larly a long statement which appeared
yesterday in a morning paper.
AS an illustration of DR.. Dernburg' s
determination not TO deviate from his
rule TO keep silent on all questions rel
alive to the war, political issues or his
mission in America, The Tribune re-
produces an autograph statement, given
to a Tribune reporter by DR.. Dernburg
in answer to request to make any
statement ne chose.
"Journalimus list elm schweres &C.
schaeft," he wrote.
Freely translated this means, '"Jour-
rllism is a tough business"
Shortly after o'clock yesterday
morning two express wagons backed up
on the Forty-sE,th Street side of the
Ritz Carlton Hotel. They had come for
the luggage Of the Dernburg party, in
GLIDING DR.. and Mrs. Dernburg and
Princess Won Hatfield Trachenberg,
vife of the Counsellor of the German
Embassy in Washington. When the
wagons left for the Brooklyn pier of
the Norwegian-American Steamship
Company they were loaded with four
teen big trunks, seven steamer trunks,
q dozen odd pieces Of hand baggage and
several large boxes. Some of the bag
gage, it was confdentially whispered,
contained cartoons and articles about
the Kaiser, DR.. Dernburg and other
German topics.
DR.. Dernburg's secretary remained at
the hotel TO arrange the papers and
books which were left behind by the
party. She said yesterday that she
would follow DR.. Dernburg later.
Shortly after 1880 O'Clock the Dern-
burg party emerged from the hotel and
entered a closed automobile, waiting at
the Forty-sixth Street exit. DR.. Dern-
burg was in the lead, followed by Mrs.
Dernburg and Princess Won hatfield.
Several friends of DR.. Dernburg ac-
companied the party to the pier.
Many personal friends of DR.. Dern-
burg called in the early morning to bid
him goodby. Among them were Cap
tain Boyd and Captain Franz Won
Iapen, attaches of the German En-
bassy; julius P. Meyer, Of the Ham
burg American Line, and Captain Emil
Hecker, his successor as head of the
German Red Cross organization in
America.
Count Won Bernstorff, the German
Ambassador, arrived early yesterday
morning from Washington, and had a
lengthy conference with the departing
German propagandist There is no
ooubt among we'll informed Germans
that DR.. Dernburg is the bearer of
important oral messages from Count
Won Bernstorff to the Kaiser and his
ministers.

Limbs from America.

Berlin has many hospitals for the
wounded, the largest Of which is the
Virchow Krankenhaus, completed only
two years ago. IL consists of a series
of separate buildings, all furnished in
white and with many Towering plants
placed about. All of them surround
long promenade, transformed into a
series of gardens. Though the civil
ian population is still admitted, the
authorities are able to turn over 1000
beds to the military Red Cross. II is
not difficult to surmise that the hospi-
tai was built with the usual weather
eye out for this storm. The most ap-
palling hospitals of all are those for
special cases. For instance, there is
one where all the men are sent who
have been mangled in jaw or teeth,
and wonderful work is being done
here. Yet not so wonderful but that
some of the distortions Of human
faces will forever be turned from with
a shudder. Another hospital takes
care of the men needing artificial
limbs. was told that the largest
supply comes from America. Rather
ironical, since American ammunition
is doing the largest part of the dam
agel
But ii was at the station when |
left Berlin that ! was TO feel the war
most keenly. Part of my journey back
to Holland was to be made on a train
marked, to my surprise, Lille, uber
Koln und Brtissel,' the great, star
ing placards hung on each coach. To
Lille, in the north of France. the very
heart of the firing line! The train,
carrying only a few passengers, was
filled with troops, the third class car
riages with soldiers, and the first and
second with officers. The platform
was crowded with their families and
friends. A common, everyday scene,
alas! all over Europe, but as the train
took those me, off to kill there weren't
many dry eyes to watch.

Vegetable dyes were used In all textile in

them. They are better than the coal tar

tage which the chemical dyes have over the
dyes which they displaced is the ease with
which different shades can be produced.
The country is as full OF dye woods and
herbs as It ever was. If our chemists cannot
use the secret processes employed by the Ger

Legal Protection for the Actor

ANY one who knows the precarious fnan-
"A cial condition OF the American theatre
at the present moment is likely to look ask
ance at the prospect of the Actors Equity
Association calling a strike OF its $500 MEM
bers to enforce demands 1t is now making
on the managers, Such action would seem
sure TO wreck the whole wobbly structure.
But that is putting an unfair light on the
matter. The actors union-for that is what
It is-appreciates the precarious position Of
the managers. At It's recent meeting in New
York 1t was generally agreed that a strike
would mean only irreparable losses to both
sides. But 1t also knows that what II fights
for is right and must triumph This Is not
higher pay. It is simply a uniform equitable
contract.
Germany has enacted such contract by
law. America must achieve It through the
direct efforts OF it's actors The leaders in
the fight, men like Francis Wilson, Bruce
McRae and Edward Abeles themselves have
nothing TO gain by IT, An honest contract,
with protection for both parties rather than
one, will mean most to the players OF small
parts, the beginners and the Woodworking
men and women who make an honest II un-
distinguished living on the stage.

A Few Thousands for Hundreds of Children

THURSDAY the Mayor urged upon Coun-
L ellis the necessity OF providing promptly
for the organization OF a Division of Child
Hygiene. The cost Of the division for six
months would be approximately $4,000.
The high infant mortality in this city is
sufficient reason for complying with the
Mayors request. There are hundreds of pre-
ventable deaths every year, particularly in
the summer. There are literally thousands
of mothers who are ignorant Of the most
simple rules for the preservation OF child life.
The city could not possibly spend 900 more
advantageously than in the manner proposed.
Not to provide the money would be extrava-
gance; to provide It would be economy.
The Organization certainly can forget it's
hostility to the Mayor long enough to join
with him in so excellent a proceeding as the
preservation of the lives OF infants-lives
now needlessly, even criminally. wasted.

half OF the United States an island. But II
was only this week that commerce took cog

WARTIME SALE OF STEAMERS
To the Editor Of E1,anito Tedoer.

Sir-In view of certain adverse criticisms Of
our company on the purchase by the Spanish
Government, during the Spanish-American WaF,
OF our steamers Columbia and Normannia, may
we request the courtesy of publication In your
paper, that these steamers were not sold BY
our company to Spain. but as we have re-
peatedly stated at the time when this accusation
was first published here, these two vessels were
sold by our company to British Arm, by which
they were subsequently sold to Spain.
surely there was no reason why our company
should have hesitated TO dispose Of two OF thsf
old vessels In this legitimate manner. Even
II they had been sold to Spain direct which
however, was not the case, there should haVs
been no criticism as otherwise it would nos
have been right for US 10 have sold our steamer
scandia at the very same time to the Unltsa
States Government for use as auxiliary N
their navy during the war.
