GERMANY BALkS
AT AN APOLOGY
Will Not DisavOw Sinking
of the LuSitania.
AGREES TO PAY INDEMNITY

ContempIates an Offer of $4,000 for
Each of the Hundred and Fifteen
Americans Who Perished When Big
Liner Was Sunk by Submarine.
Washington, Nov 23--Germany has
agreed to pay to the United States
an indemnity for the 115 American
lives lost when the Lusitania was tor
pedoed by a German submarine last
May.
Germany, however, refuses to apollo
gize to the United State for the sink
ing of the liner.
1t is revealed that Count Won Bern
storff, the German ambassador, Of
fered the indemnity at his conference
with Secretary of State Lansing last
week. At the same time he transmit
ted the refusal of the German govern
ment to make the disavowal demand
ed by President Wilson.
Ii is said by persons conversant
with the Lusitania negotiations that
the Berlin government is seeking to
unload some of the moral responsible
ity on Great Britain.
Families that lost members on the
Lusitania have been approached by
emisseries of the German government
with a proposal to sign a statement
that they regard the British govern
ment fully as liable as Germany for
the killing of American passengers on
the liner. ii is reported. The Germans
maintain that Great Britain shares in
the responsibility for the destruction
Of the Lusitania because the British
government insisted on transporting
war munitions on a passenger vessel
carrying Americans.
The ambassador and the secretary
of state did not discuss the amount OF
the proposed indemnity. 1t is known,
however, that the German government
contemplates an offer of $4,000 for
each American life lost-a total of
$575,00

King Constantine's Affliction.
Paris, Nov 23.-The declaration of
a commercial blockade of Greece by
the entente powers has produced
marked impression in Athens, par
ticularly as it was unexpected An
Athens dispatch to the Petit Journal
says the newspaper organs of the
Greek government accuse the allies,
especially Great Britain, of seeking to
drag Greece into the war by harsh
measures.
These papers assert Greece has CIV
en- sufficient proof that she intends to
maintain the policy of benevolent neu-
trality and has had no thought of TAX
ing hostile steps. However, she can
not permit transference of the theater
of war into her own territory. 1t is
suggested that the measures taken
by the allies may result in withdrawal
OF Greek troops from their frontier or
even in part rehabilitation.
The section of the press which sup
ports former Premier Venizelos ac-
cuses the government of having
brought on by want of foresight a
conflict with the entente powers. The
general feeling, however, is one of op-
timism and it is believed serious mis-
understandings will be avoided

'MONGOLIANS AND

The white man is said to be very

Millennium was drawing near and
that swords would soon be replaced

POLITICAL
ECONOMY.

The world is and always has
been crowded with political econo-
mists, all of whom imagine they have
panaceas for general evils. Would
be lawmakers and reformers are
thicker than organ-grinders in Lon
don or dogs in Constantinople, and in
thoughtless momets suffragans al
low impractical men to pose as their
representatives.
John Stuart Mill, who made poll
teal economy a close study, showed
the impotency Of certain measures III
his day which were designed to bring
about prosperity to all classes and
general contentment. He also ac-
knowledged that there are certain
problems which no one has master
ed.
According to statements made in
the newspapers today, the prices Of
food IN the United States are nigh
er than at any time in it's history,
and this, too, in the trust-bursting
age and the regulation of nearly
everything by the government.
1t is also suggestive that notwith
standing labor bureaus and media
tors boards designed to bring to All
end strife between workingmen and
their employees, these thoubles show
no diminution. West Virginia recent
ly lost over 100000 in strikes and
in the great city OF
Chicago is almost at standstill at
present by the voluntary idleness o.
thousands of railroad men who arc
with their wages and
general conditions.

REASONING
GERMANS.

While war madness has from time
to time ragged among certain classes
in Germany, there is reason to be-
lieve the malady has always been
epidemic. This is assumed from the
fact that the. larger percentage OF
immigrants from the Fatherland to
the United States are of pacific tenn
perament and are among our best
citizens. Teutons Of the same UNI
warlike spirit are now coming TO the
front in the old country. A few
months ago, when the war element
was rafting sabres and overawlng
everybody else, the pacifists, very
naturally, talked among themselves,
but the operations of the past ten
months, during which the flower OF
the great empire has been destroyed
in the terrible clashes in the eastern
and western war zones, with victory
for the German eagle less certain
than it was August, a slow return OF
conservatism is apparent in the kais,
er's realms.
