EDITORIAL NOTES
by j. ID. WATSON


throughout the country only few days ago
over the fact that Germany had agreed to the
demands of President Wilson, and would In
the future conduct her submarine warfare ac-
cordlng to our Interpretation of the law on
the sinking of unarmed vessels, is fast turn
ing into impatient dissatisfaction, as we
realize that Germany has gained more time
by Bernstein again playing rings around both
the President and his Secretary of State in
the game Of diplomacy.
The question, right now, is Just as it was
the day after the Lusitania was sunk, and
Germany has made "a spectacle of the United
States and its foreign policy.
The Germans have played horse with us,
as month after month they turned new tricks
to hoodwinl1 Washington, while they laughed
at US
Whenever the issue seemed squarely up for
settlement they have brought up questions
for discussion, and Washington has always
been in mood to swallow the bait, hook, line
and sinker, and discuss, with the result that
the time Germany thus gained permitted her
submarines to commit some new deed that
OvershadoWed the former deed, and thus
bring on more discussion.
The case of the Nebraskan and Gulfight
and the Cushing are still unsettled, while the
only real answer that has been given to the
Lusitania, was the sinking of the Arabic.
The note of july q meant be good or fight,
Germany, but Germany had undoubtedly be-
come accust omed to school-room phrases, and
could draw the distinction between school,
teacher in the classroom and the school
teacher in the Presidents chair, and replied
to the threat with a torpedo
If the situation were not so grave the pre-
dicament of the administration would be
highly amusing-the man who sent the strict
accountability note not having Bernstein in
the school-room has allowed Bernstein to
spank him, instead of giving Bernstein
spanking.
Poor old DR. Dumba leaves us for Austria
this week, while Bernstein stays at Washing
ton, holding conferences with Wilson and
Lansing, which reminds us that our method
of dealing with Diplomats is somewhat akin
to our method of dealing with another class
the little fellows get caught and punished
while the big ones 90 free
Poor old Dumba was only tool Of Bern
stof-a weak lieutenant carrying out the or
ders of one of the shrewdest liars that has set
foot on our soil since the noted Russian
Count Witte, attended the Portsmouth CON
ference, and to expel Dumba and let Bern
stoH remain shows cowardice on the part of
Washington.
Plots of crimes punishable under our laws
have been traced right to the doors of the
German Embassy, and President Wilson
should hand Bernstein his passports, instead
of asking his government to withdraw him,
as was done in the case of Dumba
The evidence shows beyond a doubt
that Bernstein was the instigator, and that
Dumba was simply tool trying to carry out
the plans, and if the tool is to be punished,
the instigator certainly deserves a like dose

6 per cent interest represents the smallest
part of the profit that the bankers will make.
Morgan represents the British government
in this country, as purchasing agent, and ev-
cry cent of the loan that the bankers make to
the Allies will be spent right here with man
ufacturers with whom the bankers have some
connection.
The very money that the Allies borrow
from the bankers representing the Steel
Trust, Standard Oil, and the Powder Trust,
will be spent with those Trusts.
It is, in fact, no loan Of money that our
banlzsrs are makng-it is simply paper
transaction whereby the Allies buy from
$500, 100000 to $1,O00,000OO0 worth of
credit, through our National bankers, with
our Trusts, controlled by the same interests
that control our National banking system.
The difficulties that the Allies agents have
encountered up to this time in floating the
loan is simply piece of shrewdhess display
ed by the bankers they are willing for the
loan to appear difficult to make in order that
they may squeeze the Allies for little high
er rate Of interest.
Secretary Josephus Daniels has selected
his Naval Advisory Board, and they will
soon get down to business on inventing more
deadly weapons for Naval warfare
Just at this time it looks like every effort
of the bigger Navy advocates will be direct
ed toward the submarine, but it is possible
that some of the experts will be able to call
a halt on the submarine hysteria until we
learn more about what the submarine has ac
tually accomplished in this war.
It is true that the submarine has sent a
number of vessels to the bottom, but in every
case it was a vessel that any other armed YES
sci could have done likewise.
The submarine has not proved the terror
of the seas that we generally suppose it has,
for it has utterly failed to destroy England's
shipping. England has more merchantmen,
with greater tonnage, on the ocean today
than she had at the outbreak Of the war, and
we do not know what has been the cost to
Germany in lost submarines
1t is beginning to creep out that England
has sunk quite number of submarines, and
said nothing about it, not caring for Ger
many to know where her vessels were lost
The submarine advocates would have us
build Is or 100 Of these frail fighters, and
before the European war ends we would find
them useless Junk.
The German submarine has only caused
aggravation, so fart has been more of a
pest to defenseless ships than a machine of
destruction in warfare

These Gems Fairly Blaze With Myriad
Shades of Color.
Those exquisite gems, black opals,
which were practically unknown up
till comparatively recently, cost more,
carat for carat, than do diamonds even,
while experts declare that they are in
finitely more beautiful.
And in this connection 1t may be
pointed out that the term "black opaP'
is distinctly misleading. 1t was coin
ed to distinguish 1t from the familiar
light opal. AS matter of fact the
black opal Is alive with myriad shades
Of flaming splendor, from brightest
tints of green glowing fire to meteoric
gold or lavender that in an instant
quivers to crimson or slips into molten
ruby or sapphire as the angle of light
alters.
Black opals are dear, not only be
cause they are so beautiful, but be
cause they are so rare. They are found
only at one spot a comparatively small

adjoining the Queensland border.

a CHINESE JACOB.
His Willy Scheme by Which Hsien Fens
Reached the Throne.


How Hsien Feng, winning his fathers
favor after the manner Of Jacob, reign
ed In his stead and fastened the swift
necline of the Manchu dynasty in Chi
ma Is told by Messrs. e. Backhouse
md ]. o. P. Bland in Annals and
Memoirs of the Court of Picking"
Toward the end of his reign Tao
Kuang, concerned as to the succession,
had almost decided to confer it upon
his favorite son, Prince Kung. a young
man much superior in character and
intelligence to him who eventually be-
came heir to the throne. 1t happened,
however, that the latter's tutor, Tsao
Chenyung. knew of the emperor's pre-
dilection and, desiring to enhance his
own position, cast about for some
means Of inducing the sovereign to
change his mind and confer the sue
cession upon his pupil.
The emperor, following the dynastic
tradition, had given orders one day
that his sons should go hunting in the
southern park. Etiquette required that
a prince who had not completed his
studies should ask his tutor for permis-
sion to absent himself for the day.
Hsien Feng therefore attended at the
lecture room in the palace and found
his tutor there alone. The prince went
up and, making the bow that ceremony
requires, asked for leave.
Tsao asked for what nurpose. and he
Perth Amboy evening news., 1915-09-17

answered:
THE emperor wishes me to take a
days shooting"
Tsao whispered to him:
"Ako (the Manchu word used in
speaking OF or addressing princes
meaning, literally, elder brother), take
my advice: When you reach the park
sit you and watch the others shooting.
Do not fire a shot and give orders to
your huntsmen not to set any traps. If
the emperor asks you for your reason
tell him that at this spring season it
is not right to take life because both
birds and beasts have their young to
take care of, and such slaughter Is a
violation of natural harmony. Take
care not to quarrel with your brothers,
but do not endeavor to emulate them.
If you, ako, viii remember this, you
are certain 10 win his majesty's ap-
proval, for know his disposition. On
this hinges your whole future. Be
careful; do not forget"
When the princes returned in the
evening and reported to their father
only Hsien Feng had an empty bag.
To Tao Kuang's questions he replied
exactly as his tutor had told him to do
The emperor was delighted and said,
This Is the conduct of a superior
man." and from that day he decided
to make him his heir.
In later years, when Tao Kuang had
passed away, Hsien Feng raised his
tutor to the rank of assistant grand
secretary, but he died before attaining
to still higher honors,

ANIMAL INTELLIGENCE.
Cats, Dogs and Monkeys Seem to Be In
a Class by Themselves.

Cats, Dogs and Monkeys Seem to Be In
"a Class by Themselves.
Horses are generally given credit for
a great deal more intelligence than
they actually possess. Scientific tests
show that in wisdom such as human
beings display horses are hopelessly
outclassed by dogs, monkeys and even
cats.
The horse can be taught to do certain
things just because he Is too stupid to
have any ideas of his own. Like many
human prize pupils, he can learn. but
rannot think.
So far as intelligence goes, psyche
logical experiments show that 1t is
practically a dead heat between cats.
dogs and monkeys.
The dog has human morals; there
fore people are apt to assume that he
has human logic. But the cat, say GER
tain persons, In sheer brains stands
next to man. He has the adaptive In
telligence that makes him equally at
home In parlor and wild woods and gets
him a living anywhere. A cat, 1t is
argued, can think faster and take care
of himself under more different condi-
tions than any other living thing ex-
cept man.
Monkeys undoubtedly seem more in
telligent than they really are because
they resemble human beings in actions
and outward appearance 30 much more
closely than other animals.
Some scientists maintain that. al
