BERLIN. Aug. 12-- Fuel has been
added to the Gcrman-Lord Haldane
flame by the North German Gazette,
Il semi Officially inspired newspaper.
Lord Haldane, the deposed lord high
chancellor of Great Britain, has been
under fire in his own country since
the beginning of the war.
The North German Gazette officially
rrfutes Lord Haldane's assertion made
four months ago concerning his visit
to Germany in 1912, that Germany
frustrated his peace efforts in 1912 by
refusing his offers. The real facts
show that Germany offered forms OF
arranging a neutrality treaty with
England. trying to meet Sir Edward
Grey's objections on a basis of mu-
tual obligation to remain neutral, If
the other party should be involved in
war, and to endeavOr to lOcaliZo the
conflict.
Sir Edward Greys Attitude.
Sir Edward Grey stated absolutely,
though in vague and indistinct form.
that England would promise not to
attack Germany without prOvocation.
This promise not to attack Germany
without provocation was considered
20 he understood. and only natural in
cages Of mutual relations of civilized
nations.
Sir Edward Grey refused to accept
the addition of a clause guaranteeing
r, n'rality because this endangered the
E, letin~ friendship with others, and
declined to accept the hand of friend
ship offered by Germany. German
statesmen concluded that England had
already joined the anti-German comb
nation. The exchange of notes be-
tween Sir Edward Grey and M. Cam
bon and the military conventions be-
tween England France and Russia in
November, 1912, supported this con-
viction.

Newspaper Power.
(New Haven Union.)

A gentleman arises to pay tribute to the power of good eNerted by news- papers. He actually is so unconven- tional as to rise to make a speech crediting the newspapers with being the greatest single agency employed by modern health and hygiene work CTS. Most people who are doing the things worth while in the world pay unconscious tribute to the power of the press for good because they make 1t a rule when undertaking a worthy deed always to visit the newspaper publishers first, asking for the dona- ton of free publicity. They ask that publishers place their plant, material and labor at the service of "the cause'' to greater or less extent, as the case may be. This is tribute to the papers as a power for good. However, public acknowledgment is enough of d novelty to make it inter esting. At the meeting of the Ameri- can Public Health association, Ed ward A. Moree of the New York State Health Service said:
 "Printcr's ink is saving more lives than any other single agency em- ployed by modern health workers
 "Printer's ink,' saiN he, "should be entered into the pharmacopoeia as an accredited remedy for human ills. Among other things it prevents tu- berculosis and builds hospitals to cure it, it saves the lives of children and controls epidemics of smallpox. Thou sands of babies are today alive in New York state largely because big doses of printers ink were adminis- tered to the public by the state and local departments of health.
 You may cure individuals of theil ills in the privacy of a sickrOm, but to cure the public of it's ills you must get into the newspapers"

How to Live to the Age of 100.
(American Magazine.)

(American Magazine.) .. .. Henry F. Swanback is the oldest Odd Fellow in America, and lives at the age of 100 at Greenwood, Ne braska MT. Swanback was a boyhood friend of Bislnarck's. His grand father lived to be IF. Following are his rules for living to be 100:
 GO to bed early and get up early Never sleep in a heated room
 Keep fresh air in the sleeping room.
 Sleep out of doors in summer winter, too, if 1t can be arranged.
 Drink plenty of fresh water.
 Use very little red liquor.
 AS old age comes on take, each morning, small wine glass of one- third glycerine and two-thirds good whisky.
 Smoke as often as you please, but do not inhahe the smoke. or blow it out through the nostrils.
 If your are fortunate enough to lose your wife, get another. 1t is not good for man or woman to live alone.
 Don't worry over anything Worry kills more people than disease
 Keep an even temper at all times Be cheerful at all times.
 Keep the feet dry and the head clear
 Never eat meat. A little chicken will not harm che, but must not be eaten too often.
 Eat plenty of fresh fish.
 Do not drink coffee.
 Keep away from sweet stuffs 1t ruins the stomach and kidneys.
 Take plenty of outdoor exercise. Walk a great deal.
 Follow these rules, and any nor mai man barring accidents, can live to be one hundred"

Merely Friends or Peace.
Stamford Advocate. )

That lamb-like bunch in Chicag go, who, in grotesque disregard of the meaning of words, call themselves the "Fricnds of Peace" are reported to have hailed with cheers the announce ment of the attack on the Hesperian. The enthusiasm visibly declined when 8 latCr dispatch reduced the number at first reported lost from 700 to a scant half-dozen or so, and, moreover, that the ship herself was saved be- causes he received what was meant to be her death wound too far forward, the water being kept out of the rest of the ship by her watertight com partment doors. It may be that the Friends of Peace" were disappointed because the incident came short of at taining for the Hesperian's crew and passengers that profound and perfect peace which exists at the bottom of the sea. What peace can be imagined more secure and undisturbed than the peace that reigns where several nun dred men. women and children lie cof- fined in the hull of the Lusitania as it rests upon the bottom of the sea forty fathoms deep off the coast of Ireland! That's the sort of peace those Chicago Friends of Peace want.

May Speak in Own Language. lSpringfield Republican.

Germans-Americans will be inter- ested in the notable extension of lib- erty in Germany, which, according to the Frankfurter Zeitung, has been promised by the imperial chancellor. It includes permission to use non- German languages at international congresses and at political meetings m districts, where sixty per cent. or more of the people are non-German speaking. But it need not be assumed that this experiment in liberty, which IS to De given a twenty-years trlal' Will extend to saying such things about the emperor as are sard Wlth the most nonchalance about the president of the United States ln for- elgn languages quite regardless or the proportion of English speaking peo- pie. Nor can we overlook the differ eiice in the position of immigrants who come to an English-speaklng country of their own free will, ana or Poles, Danes and Alsatians incorpor- ated by conquest within the limits Of the German empire. However little good they may see in America, the pro-German organizations might now and then profitably devote a session to praise of liberty.

The Shrewd Dancing Masters.
(From the New York World)

(FrOm the New Y ork World.)
 In rejecting a revamped tango a dance full of cortes demi-cortes, medio-cortes and other intricate steps dear to the profession, and in indors- ing what they call the old dances for the coming season, the Philadelphia dancing masters show a becoming discretion. Signs have not been want ing that the dance professors were killing the goose that has been laying golden eggs for them, through their too great ingenuity in deversing new steps. They have seen a light and are prudently adapting themselves to the changing conditions.
 That the dance craze is waning there seems to be no doubt particular ly among dancers past youths prime whose interest gave 1t added i'm petus. If their patronage was not to be wholly alienated, some halt had to be called on the multiplication of new dances, and this the dancing masters are apparently now planning to do.
 The "old" dances in question, the foX-trot, one-step and canter, are not exactly unique. They have survived through the maze of maxixes Argen- tines, horse-trots and what not, and as dances offering line of least re- sistance to the learner they retain q vogue which the more complicated steps speedily lost. Elderly observ- CTS fail to see much poetry Of mo- tion in them. But there they are as examples of the best that ragtime dancing can produce, and there they bid likely to stay until cobwebs grow on the last of Brodaway's tango par lors. Is that day very far in the fu- tureo

Shipping Gold.
Bridgeport Farmer. )

In little more than a month a l hundred million in gold has been | shipped to this country, principally from Great Britain, to the very con- siderable anxiety of gentlemen who control the gold market in the United | States.
 Plentiful gold means cheap gold Those who control gold want it scarce | enough to command a high price With certain allowance for conditions created by Legislation, gold acts like any other commodity. When if is scarce it commands the highest price When it is plentiful tho price tends to drop.
 The arrival of unexpected gold, In large quantities from Europe, is about as welcome to monopolists in gold, as the arrival of unexpected quantities from new mines. It has, in less degree, the same effect as m announcement would have that gold could be produced by synthesis, in the chemical laboratory at a less rato than current prices per ounce.
 The New York Press expresses its apprehension in this language:
 War finance is showing us a good many things that people didn't com
 
 while gold is a good thing to have, 1t ia about as bad for a country to have too much as to have too little of it! If we get all the gold We will be in the position of the merchant with his shelves full of goods, but neither scales nor yardsticlls by which to measure" n.,.
 Translated this statement amounts to this: Plentiful gold is bad for the owners of gold. They will have to give more of it, for wheat. The more plentiful gold is, the more dif1- cult it will be to maintain a mono- poly of it. Therefore it is bad for the owners of gold to have too much gold, because other people will own gold, and the other gold will be in com putition with their gold.
 Presently men will improve their civilization until they can exchange commodities, one against the other. and keep things moving, as long as things can be produced that people need to eat, drink, wear and use. and as ;ong as there are workers able to pr"duce those things.
 We have had too much production for finance, and not enough produc- ton for use. One of the benefits of lhe war is the attention that has been attracted to the industrial systems of the several countries It has been taught, snd in some degree learned, that country may be weak in a military sense by maintaining an old fashioned finance and industry, as well as by having inferior armamcnt

LOafing in Colleges.
(Meriden Journal.)


 pr. T. M. Bailliet dead of the pedagogy schoot of New York Univer- city, told the National Education as sociation a few days ago that present day college terms are -four years Of loafng.' This agrees with an article by college undergraduate recently printed in the Outlook, which says college courses are so easy that stu dents slip through with little work.
 Yet many students, apparently per fectly truthful, say they have to work hard to pass tests and keep out of conditions The parent looking for a good college for his boy or girl feels puzzled to know which point of view Is correct.
 The bright student may get the sub stance of lesson in ten minutes, over which the duller fellow would work an hour. By lodging studies like mathematics and the classic ian guages, which call for steady grind many long hours are saved.
 With ten minutes hurried reading or subject like literature, civil gov ernment, political emonomy, the stu dent with ready wit and facile speech might make a far better showing than the slow tongued grind.
 The frequent cases like these indi- cate the fallacy of too many electives. The educator with scholastic tastes may think each student is selecting the course that accords best with his own needs and gifts. But probably the majority of students pick the easy courses.
 college should not be satisfied thought is given to each individual student If he Is slipping along on easy courses, the authorities need to hand cut some real intellectual wood-pile for him to saw and split Few parents sent their boys to school to spend their time with their feet on the rlazza rail of fraternity houses or eating and sleeping on the ball ground.

MR RARNUM WAS RIGHT.

If was the late P. T. Barnum who
 put a time limit on the birth of fools He said there was one born every minute. Judging from present day events the old gentlemen, who year after wear took his show throughout the country and gathered in the Amer ican dollars, is about right. Surely he has not underestimated this birt h must arrive at the rate of one every thirty seconds. For example, we cite the wonderful fistic fiasco that was staged last Saturday night at the Brighton Beach Motordrome over on Long Island. Some forty thousand people journeyed from far distant parts of the country to be present at that exhibition of the manly art. The two cleverest opponents of "self defense" were supposed to meet in the greatest demonstration ever staged on American soil. For two years promoters had been trying to get these men together. At last they trium phed Through an exten- sive system of advertising the anxious followers of fisticana were informed of the great event. Men st1nted ana saved that they might make the jour- ney. Some came from as far as Cali fornia Every state in the Union had it's representative. The galaxy of visi- tors was even greater than went across the great American desert in 1910 to see the Reno affair. And at last they pounded on the gates of the mammoth aren I. They piled loose went in. And when they got within those sacred confines where was sup posed to be staged tre one great ath- letic event in history, what did they see? Simply this. Two men under a canopy of high powered electric lights prancing to and fro before a At the end of ten rounds the two stel- lar performers stepped from the ring as fresh as when they entered, walked around to the box office and took away the sum of $32,5OO, their purse for the fight. The promoters, after relieving the public of some additional $50,000, are today intently pondering over those few well chosen remarks made by the late lamented MT. Bar mum. The circus man was right. At the present time, however, pugilism has received a black eye; but it will soon recover from this and in the not far distant future another great bout will be staged for the edification of an unsuspecting public. And the public will fall.

misdemeanor to give false informa- tion toHa newspaper or the police. An investigation should be started immediately into the Godowsky affair and, if it is found that either he or his publishers and packers perpe- trated the "kidnapping" story all concerned should be prosecuted and sent behind the bars. The Amer'can people have been long suffering, but the time has come when they will heve no more of these things. Pur- licity is all right where publicity IS due but when it has to be received through illegitimate methods there should be prompt punishment for the violators.

War On the Border.
(Ansonia Sentinel.)

Possibly Washington officials can view the growing disorder along the Mexican border with equa animity but 1t is hardly possible for them to dis cover the growing anti-Ame erican feel ing in and about Mexico without com- ing to a sort of a realization that the time is approaching at express speed, when our policy of paltering and end- less conversation must have an end and be supplanted by a policy of ac- ton that will mean something to both Mexican people and Mexican leaders. Reconstruction in the inauguration of a definite policy will mean that our hands will be forced in the dir cction of forcibIe intervention, when it has been our hope to see Mexic D gain peace for itself through the &C., ton of it's own representative men. That hope will be shattered unless We mako puh!c a policy that will have tho sanction of the Latin Ameri- can republics and which will speedily guarantee for Mexico that peace of which it has been so long de- prived by the petty quarrels of factioral i>a 1ers. There is not much time lett for us to watchfully wait along the Mexican border For the HrOteCtlOn or AmeT1Can territory we may have to strike at any moment and strike hard and when that occurs intervention becomes practical necessity.
 Yoked up with this veXatious Mexi- can problem of preparedness. If we have to intervene in Mexico we shall be compelled to raise the strength of our army to much more impressive point than it has ever in recent Years attained. What we should have done a year ago, in view of the problems that then faced us, we shall have to work out now under pressure. The task of pacifying Mexico is no holiday lob and if we undertake it we should look far enough ahead to provide the ways and means to make it success ful speedily instead of after the waste of years.
 President Wilson should have this Mexican entanglement very much in his mind, when he makes up his pro-

SkUlking.
(Waterbury American )

The unanimous decision of the British Trades Union Congress against conscription is decisive. It leaves a sinister impression with those who cannot understand it. It may be equally sinister for those who can. It leaves the defense of the country upon the shoulders of those who have courage and patriotism enough to bear it, and permits others to shirk without any penalty. It seems unfair
 It also seems fatal if the safety of the country comes to a crisis. In such a crisis there i@ no doubt that the decision against conscription will be overruled. It would have to be if the country was to be saved. It
