ev CARL w. AckeRMAN.

BERLIN Via The Hague). June
26.--The Berlin Tageblatt. which Is
= powerful exponent of the policies
Of the German chancellor says, In
IN editorial:
THE press of the United States
and Germany should use their In
terest "A teyeF ~ exchange OF notes
that viii tlear the earlier misunder-
standing which influenced recent
sentiment. II Ia evident that Amer.
lea y as badly informed about Ger
many as Germany IL informed about
America. II must not be overlook
ed that messages which reached
America saying Germany was indif'
ferent To the possibilities Of war
with the United States caused ex-
trcme bad feeling there. These
statements were founded on silly.
Irritating utterances which found
no support whatever among fair
thinking Germans. The statement
was even made that Germany was
willing To draw the United States
into the war. The German people
ard government cannot too emphat.
ically assert their earnest desire TO
maintain relations of the utmost
friendliness through all honorable
means"
The Tageblatt makes the first
comprehensive survey OF the misun-
derstanding following the sinking Of
the Lnsltania and says:
Germany will continue to regret
the American sale OF contraband.
which while adhering to the letter
OF the law. is helping to prolong the
unfortunate bloody conflict Ger.
many acknowledges that the sup
position that the American govern.
ment has participated In this barter
is absolutely unfounded. Germany
Is also unanimous In wanting to
continue tho use of the submarine
which is our only weapon against
British contrsband commerce. We
hope this point for speedy under
standing viii be reached.
We expect from broadminded
citizens in America that they will
not accept the charges inspired In
the press about Germany. We
know that there is tendency In
the greater part OF America TO be
fair and calm and to strive for a
continuance OF peace and mutual
understanding. Likewise America
should understand that the German
people and their government earn
estly desire 10 work for a better un-
dcrstanding."
The Tageblatt editorial Is expect
ed TO have the greatest influence In
checking the reaction Of feeling
which II expected before the next
German answer IL ready. The edi-
torial winds up:
The German cause In America
also suffered by the fact that Ger
man-Amcrican utterances against
the American government were
falsely alleged to have been inspir-
ed by Germany. Nothing was fur
ther from the German mind. The
small representation OF Germans In
the American government Is a con-
tributory factor 10 the lack OF inter
probation OF real German sentiment
towards America"

Companions of the
Imperial Night
~ DR.. FRANK CRANE
Copyright. 1915. by Frank CraneI

Every night the most majestic spec
tacle vouchsafed to mortal eyes is
spread before us.
Denizens of this little planet, some
where in the suburbs Of the solar sys-
TEN, we busy ourselves running about
like otlicious insects, grubbing in the
earth, hurrying from home-cel to office
cell, wrestling, scurrying. hating, getting
and spending, crawling at last weary
into our graves when the fevered, aim
less quest is over
Meanwhile above us circle the unhast-
ing stars. What the vast panorama
means we know not. But at least it
means something inconveivably nobler,
grander, and more divine than our little
Tellurian vaudeville.
The least we can do is to gaze some
times at the splendid pageant of the
sky, and let little of ITS infinite feeling
penetrate into our Sordid souls.
But how many Of Us are companions
Of the imperial night? How many open
up their mortal spirits once in p hours
for the thrush of sidereal calm? How a
drop from that star-crowded ocean above
US would cool and purge our restless
lives, and give to us something of that
universal pOise we SO sadly need
There be dwelers by the seashore
that think OF nothing but fish and the
gathering Of driftwood, some live in the
tempted woods and have no thoughts but
of cordwood and game and in the soar
ing mountains are habitants whose ideas
never rise above goats and cows. And
all of us live beneath that outspread
wonder-Sky and get how little of its spir-
itual call, its message Of immensely into
our petty cycle!
There are school boys and school girls
who are getting an education" porting
daily over books and learning that the
square of the hypothenuSe is equal to
the sum OF the squares OF the base and
perpendicular in right triangle, yet
who have no acquaintance with the an
gelc globes Of light whose Tine is gone
out unto the ends OF the earth" Night
unto night uttereth speech, but il is
strange TO them They follow not Orion
in his martial strides know not Arcturus
nor Polaris. are no friends of the Seven
Sisters nor tho bFZiTr- tt}9rrffii, ami TpCpV-
nize never the swinging bipper nor his
counterpart CaSsioYeia.
The mightiest world Of which we
have any certain knowledge. writes Gar
rett p. Serviss. is now before the eyes
Of everybody who viii take the trouble
TO look up and see it. Every night the
enormous planet Jupiter hangs in The
evening sky, under the starry sign of the
Great Square Of Pegasus, mounting slow
" toward the meridian with the progress
of the hours. and at midnight glowing in
the center Of heaven like a lamp for the
gods. a few nights ago Jupiter was in
plain sight for at least thousand people
whom ! passed. but | believe ! was the
only one who even glanced at it!'

The best organized society Is a society to
which wealth ia so distributed that the mass OF
the people live In comfortable circumstances.
The worst organized Is q society In which there
are glaring inequalities OF wealth, with the mass
Of the people struggling for existence under
crushing burden OF poverty
Such a society is badly organized for several

This statement I am aware, is likely 10 be
challenged There Is n widely held notion that
natural ability will reveal Itself whatever tbs

this theory.
Yet Il is easy TO demonstrate that such
theory Is fallacious. and that extremes OK wealth
and poverty have distinctly limiting effect
on natural ability. Particularly deadening Is
the effect Of poverty.

that most OF the men who have attained emt

THE ART OF JAPAN.

A certain fsstidiousness. certain love OF
scrupulous and cleanly order. belongs 20 the
japanese character, we find IL in their man
ners. their habits. their furniture, in all their
workmanship. The word exquisite. so often
vaguely msapplied is an epithet truly ap-
picable 10 the art Of Japan. The faults OF this
character are tendency TO the smallness which
often goes with neatness. The japanese do not
work under the pressure OF abundant ideas and
torrential emotions; they do not fall into the
excessive extravaganza which sometimes besets
the Chinese. But their unfaing ense Of style
compensates In great measure for their lack of
more genial exuberance. Taste with them, as

Or is he really deficient in acquiring a
real grasp of things and does he fritter
away his time in a round Of fraternity
life, class politics, gossip and sport?
Teachers say he is docile enough in
absorbing facts of all descriptions. even
to learning poetry, if it states plainly
what il means, but what he balks at is
formulating an idea, or relating these
facts 10 the whole.
He not only cannot do il. but he does
not desire TO do it.
His attitude toward life is the same as
toward a game and his one aim is TO
win out" which means, translated in
American terms, get rich"
The devotion to science, for science or
humanity's sake; the espousing Of a
cause from a high moral standpoint, with
no personal ACKNOWLEDGEMENT, seems TO
him a waste of time.
Introspection, analysis and speculation,
unless they relate TO business, are TO him
quite useless. His home training has
been largely along these lines: his father
was so before him and his mother, until
recently, has been content to look after
his physical well-being and send him TO
Sunday school. All this has not devel-
oped a fertile, cultural ground.
This is not true of the students Of any

THE ARTIST.
When nature with mission grave
Was by the Lord endowed,
She painted on the sea "A wave

And on the land she drew hill;
And on the hill a tree,
And In the vale she placed rill

And then. progressing without doubt.
she took little brush.
And in the stream she placed a trout;
And on the tree a thrush,
And on the waves she painted foam.
And roses IN the Wild.
And In the shelter OF n home

And did all this perfection bring
