EVASION AND MOcKERY.

The German in response the American
protest against submarine attacks upon merchant
men does not meet the issue. 1t is worse than
evasive. 1t is insincere, even pettifogging. Re-
gret will be felt everywhere in the United States
THAT the affairs of great people believed to be
friendly have fallen into the hands of capable
of such desperate trihing.
What Germany did to the American ships Gulf
light and Cushing is subject to "investga-
ton" Yet it was exactly in keeping with the law

What Germany now proposes in regard future
outrages, 'in which it may be In the wrong" is
arbitration and compensation. Yet while the prep
aration OF this note in progress another Ameri-
can ship. the Nebraskan, appears to have BEEN
wantonly torpedoed.
We have disavowels of purpose to attack
neutral merchantmen. Yet on the same day that
they made second warning issued from
the German Foreign Office that such ships are in
constant peril.
We have a defense of the Lusitania massacre on
the ground that the great Cunarder was, in fact,
warship, and of the Falaba murder the asser-
ton that her Captain made effort to escape"
The Lustania a warship in the way
that Belgium aggressor against Germany; in
the same way that the University of Louvain and
same way that various seaside resorts in England,
raided by Germans, defended"
OF the fact that the Lusitania was unarmed we
have proof in the testimony of Collector Malone.
Of the falsity of the charge that she carried NUM-
lions of contrary to law, national interna-
tional, have evidence in judicial and depart
mental rulings. For the absurd accusation that
permitted her to embark Canadian troops en-
route to the front there be justification in
"a neutrality that has been of the strictest order.
Berlin does not answer the Presidents questions.
1t ignores his appeal for redress. 1t takes &C.

he complains. On the contrary, having set inter

In either case, the ISSUE far the United

The Cupboard Was Bare.

The late Doctor Masters, who was
formerly a missionary In Canton,
China, afterward lived in Berkeley,
Cal. His friend and fellow-missionary
Doctor Boone, returning on furlough,
was expected to arrive In San Fran
cisco on a certain day. Doctor Mas
tiers crossed the bay to the city; he
meant to meet Doctor Boone and his
party, and. after spending the day In
sightseeing, to take him to dinner at
a well-known restaurant.
THE steamer, however. had reached
port earlier than had been expected,
and when Doctor Masters got to the
dock his friends had left He made
Inquiries at the principal hotels, but
could not find them. In order to notify
his family in Berkeley of the neces-
sary change in plans. Doctor Masters
sent them a telegram. Here is the
somewhat damaged message that Mrs.
Masters finally read:

home to dinner."-Youth's Companion.

favorable Light

At session of county court in an
outlying country, a village merchant
was prosecuted for arson" 1t de-

the town had retained a special
prosecutor" to assist in the case. The
attorney for the defendant invariably
asked each witness II he had ever con-
tributed anything toward the support
Of the special prosecutor" One old
man was very jealous in his efforts
to convict the defendant. The attor-
ney started to ask him the regular
contribution" question. but the wit
ness interrupted him and gave his
answer in the middle of the question
with the following result:
%. Have you ever contributed any
thing toward the support

Mysteries of krypton.

It is usually supposed that at great
heights the pressure of the air is al
most negligible, but the application of
an ingenious method indicated by
Ramsay gives interesting results. He
asserts that the green line character
istic Of the spectrum of krypton re-
mains visible under a pressure of
0.0000S5 millimeters of mercury.
Now this green line is found in
the spectrum of the aurora borealis
and it seems to be wen established
that this exists frequently at attitudes
between 100 and 200 miles, and even
sometimes up to nearly 500 miles.
But krypton is one of the heaviest
gases in our atmosphere. It would
seem, therefore. that the density OF
the air at these attitudes is by no
means negligible. as, whatever the
cause may be Of the presence of kryp-
ton there, It could not remain there
unless the air possessed an sppre'
stable density.

uniformly shiftless The Dutch have
built up an export trade and have
promoted agriculture. Scientific agri-
culture in Haiti is practically I'M
known. The peasant scratches the
marvellous soil with stick, drops his
seed and lets it be until his crop has
grown up. why should anything else
be done?' he asks, in reply to the
strangers inquiry. IF anything else
was necessary God would do It," In
the Haitian mountains rich minerals
and the best mahogany in the world
lie unworked for lack of railroads to
haul the products to the coast; and
capital steers clear of the island be-
cause of the uncertainty of politics
and payments, and the fact that the
whites as a race are under legislative
penalties-in the Haitian section.
Santo Domingo is much more ad-
vanced in this respect
Any one who is skeptical OF what
these people can accomplish should
visit the enduring architectural mon
uments of the island-the marvellous
fairy palace of Sans Souci In the
northern hills near Cape Haitien, and
the tremendous citadel OF La Fer
riere on the top of the mountain OF
that name. 5000 feet high-both or
them the work of the black King Hen

1911 until he committed suicide in
1919. in order to avert assassination.
II is true that thousands Of lives were
paid for these remarkable buildings.
just as it is true that Henri's reign
was one long chronicle OF bloodshed.
But the imaginative capacity and In
domitable will-power of the black man
who had been a slave and who could
conceive and direct the building OF
such structures strike one today as
evidences of an enormous capacity

But underneath the outward well-be-

the thunder-shock which shook so

the most brutal In the Western hemis-

Spanish system which obtained In the

island in natural Resources and fer

the exception of Java. The similarity
of the two islands is striking. Both

probably less known to
Americans than Albania. Any
school geography will tell you that
Haiti Is mountainous island situated
between Cuba and Porto Rico and al
most within sight Of both. with an
area Of about $4,000 square miles and
divided into two unequal parts. The
southern two-thirds of the island COM
prise the republic of Santo Domingo.
with highly mixed populatiol-the
negro element predominating = Of
about 100000. while the northern third
is Haiti, which, despite its smaller
area, has a population of mere than
100000 almost entirely negro The
social distinctions in the populations
of the two republics are caused by the
Spanish by language and whatever
civilization they possess, while the
Haitians derived their fundamental
ideas, governmental forms, literature
and language from France.
The Horrible Example.
The island of Haiti-by which is
meant the entire island-has frequent
ly been held up as the best example
of bad government In our times.
Strictly speaking, this is true. But to
blame it entirely upon the fact that
the Haitians are black men is scarce
ly fair. The responsibility is to be
traced back to colonial days. Haiti
was colonized with African slaves by
the French several hundred years ago,
and the one idea of the masters of the
island was to make all they possibly
could out of it, regardless Of the suf-
fering they inflicted upon their work.
