NO POTASH FROM GERMANY.
Plea of United States for Alteration
of Embargo Fails.

Washington.-Effo of the United
States Government to obtain conces
sions from Germany which would per
nit the importation of German fer
tiIizer potash failed, it became known
here, when American officials were adj
yised that Germany would make no al
iteration of her embargo. Negotiations
had been in progress since the out
break of the war.
The German refusal came at time
when American officials believed the
way had been cleared for a restoration
of at least part of the potash traffic
between Germany and the United
States. The reason for the German
refusal has not been disclosed.
officials here would not discuss the
matter. 1t is known, however, that
after a long series of conferences with
potash importers here and between
American officials and the Foreign
Offices in Berlin and London an ar

orioin of the Tides.

If then there exists on the earth $
surface, under the moon, mass OF
liquid, such as the ocean, whose par
ticles, like those OF all liquids, move
freely among one another instead OF
being fixed rigidly like those OF
solid, it is evident that this liquid
viii tend to be drawn away from the
solid earth by virtue of the greater
attraction to which it is subjected
and in this tendency lies the origin OF
the tides.
But there are two tides per day,
owing to the fact. that the same dit
ferential effect of the moons attrae-
ton is felt, in a reverse way, on the
side Of the earth that is turned from
the moon. On that side the ocean wa
ter is farther from the moon, than the
center Of the earth is. In consequence
the earth is drawn away from the wa
ter. and the latter is raised into a tide
analogous 10 the one on the other side

knowledge of the Scriptures Has
Been Acknowledged Essential to
Education.

The ignorance of the Bible is to be
deplored for other than religious rea-
sons. It's cultural value is very great.
We have been learning during the last
half century that a knowledge of Eng
lish literature is an indispensable ele-
ment in public education; that in get
ting to know as Matthew Arnold con-
tended, the best that has been said
and thought in the world" we broad
en- our horizon and purify our ideals,
and thus prepare ourselves for the du-
ties of citizenship. Our colleges and
universities have been enforcing this
truth upon US by their requirements
for admission.
But If a knowledge of literature is
indispensable to the education of
citizen, acquaintance with the English
Bible is surely fundamental for that
knowledge. Washington GLADDEN.
writes in the Atlantic. All our best
English literature is shot through and
through with Biblical quotations, max
inns, metaphors, characters illusions;
the one book with which reader
needs to have familiar acquaintance
is the English Bible.
II is ridiculous for anyone to I'M
dertake to teach English literature
who does not know his Bible at least
as well as he knows his Shakespeare
ON the pages he is undertaking to
elucidate he will meet the Bible five
times where he will meet Shakespeare
once. For purposes of critical exposl-
ton. it is certainly quite as necessary
for him to understand Jacob as to I'M
derstand Shylock; familiarity with
Job is of greater practical value than
familiarity with Paradise Lost

international law, and therefore, he
declared, practically, if not in specific
terms, that the United States expect
ed Germany to cease such warfare.
Method Left to Germany.
But in the note made public today
he leaves it to Germany to adopt the
measures necessary to put these
principles (the principles of interna-
tional law into practice Gin respect
of the safeguarding of American lives
and American ships"
He is no longer assuming to regu-
late German submarine warfare, eN-
cept to the extent that it may affect
American lives and American ships
and he leaves it to Germany to decide
upon the method by which that may
be done. All he asks on that point is
assurance that it will be done.
Bryan Fears Result.

his signature to the note to Germany

statement this evening, which divided
public interest.
II was everywhere regarded. as
most remarkable utterance.
In the presidents note to Germany
Mr. BRYAN sees an application of the
doctrine of force. He declares his
passionate hostility to that doctrine
He proclaims his belief that it is pass
inc away Some nation, he says
must lead the world out OF the olach
night of war, and he wants the Ohl'eo
States to have that honor.
He credits the president with peace
fu, intentions, but says the president
is mistaken in his methods. Inc
methods employed by the president
in Mr. Bryan's opinion, are the meth
dds which carry the explosives tha'
