TENIpERING BLOOD AND IRON"

In a recent debate i'm the German
reichstag regarding the "aims of war;"
Chancellor Won Berthmann- Hollweg
represented Germans present status
as on the whole satisfactory. He rec

declared that they could never break

every possible guarantee and assur-
ance for which we have fought. that
none of our enemies, separate or to-

against us
There was in his words no hint Of
compromise either in purpose or the
methods.
There is no such uncompromisins
spirit, however. in the comment made
on his speech by the Frankfurter lei
tung That newspaper strikes q lib-
eraI note which has for some time
been lacking in German journalism.
There can be no absolute guarantees
against future war, says the Zeitung
but the best guarantee will be "a wise.

the part of Germany 1t points out

THE great statesman to whom Ger
many owes her position" remarks
the Zeitung. always believed that
blood and iron were to be employed
only when it was unavoidable, and
that the German people were to fulfill
their mission through making their
policy as considerate as possible"
Germany's policy lately has been
absolute blood and iron" When Ger
man editors begin TO rebel against it,
there is reason for anticipating some
Of the "considerateness' that wise old
Bismarck would have brought into
play long before this.

AN INDIAN LEGEND.


History records few Instances OF
such complete proof of the truthful
origin of an ancient legend as in the
as narrated in the Philadelphia Press.
The story of the cave and the lives
of the ancient people whose relics
were found within 1t, has been hand
ed down through many generations
of aborigines by word of mouth, with
such accuracy that it guided scientists
to the cave. Probably the first white
man of prominence to hear the story
was Gen. Fremont. the explorer. who
went through the Piute country OF
Nevada in 1914. An aged chief told
him the history of the Indians there
went back to the very beginning of
the world, and that thousands of years
ago his ancestors drove a whole nation
of their enemies into q cavern, and
sealed il up that they might perish
The legend was regarded as myth,
OF course, but a female descendant of
the Piutes. who is attending a reser-
vation school, evidently believed IT,
and her faith was so strong that the
Nevada uniVersity's scientists took up
the search for the cave. The girl Sc
leeted locality which was as near as
the legends guided her, and the cave
was found. In il were found many
interesting relics. including "a fossil
lied skull believed TO be 5000 years
old Everything in the opinion of the
scientists. points to the cave having
been sealed by nature more than 5000
wears ago.

The British people habitually as

gardless of the hagrancy OF the Of

again gently but firmly. TO call Eng
lands attention to an irritating breach
OF international law If the Swedish
minister ST Washington knows what
he is talking about-and either a
Swede or "a minister generally does

tampering with diplomatic CORES
pondence ON Us way to Washington.
That Is ina plain contravention Of the
rules of the Universal Postal union. of
which Great Britain is a rlember. The
regulation establishing tie invi0labil-
ity OF diplomatic correspondents in
the mails is as sacred as was the in
ternational guarantee Of the neutrality
Of Belgium II is no more legitimate
10 violate one than 10 violate the
other
It's bad enough TO have private
mail opened i'm its passage through
England but it's infinitely worse TO
have official government communica-
tions read and interfered with.
Whether the grievances of which the
Swedish minister complains are due
to mere stupidity of the British cen
sors. or to intentional wrong-doing,
the practice is 'indefensible.
