Note as Seen by English Press

note will be, we suspect, that it is ex-
tromCIy polite and quite harmless
Whatever charges may be brought
against American diplomacy in this
crisis, that of being unreasonable. Of
hectOring or lacking in persuaslycness
must certainly fall to the ground"
The Daily News discussed the note
in an editorial based on the supposi-
ton that the demand for assurances
was what caused the resignation Of
Secretary Bryan.
The News questions whether Nh
Bryan'S inference, as the paper puts
It, that Germany will reject the de
mands is sound, and whether If it is
sound, the situation arising could have
been avoided by any conduct Of ne
gotIauons which did not involve the
betrayal mot Of American rights only,
but Of the rights and hopes Of hu-
manity"
The editorial continues. There is
no reason yet to assume that the presi-
dent, who throughout the dealings
with Germany, has sought peace with
the steady coolness and high purpose
h1bltual TO him, despairs Of success"
The Daily Graphic remarks that the
note lacks the fire eating flavor"
which many people had hoped for il.
Mr., Wilson replies to the Germans
punt ny point anu bOIn In logic ana
fact has the best of the argument"
says the Graphic.
The Standard says:
''The president shows no dispose
tlon TO interfere with Germany's legit-
Innate rights as a belligeront. but in
sists that such rights must bc exer-
cised without infringing the dictates
of humanity"
The Times says II is inclined to
believe that Germany will not reject
the demands, but will resume nego-
tiauons and endeayor to preserve
friendly relations with the United
States, especially as WilhelmstrasSe
can discover in various passages or
the note material for procrastination
If II so desires"
The editorial continues:
Nothing could well be more mod
crate in tone than the note. but on
issues of substance the president re-
mains immovablc."

Mexican directly, your suspicious are
absurd. You are only excited beyond
your self-control by this great loss.
If you will allow me, think with this

He held up an exceedingly fine en-
broidery needle. The other two men
stared at it wonderingly.
What do you argue from that?'
asked Senior Terranova anxiously.
1T is something accidentally drop
ped by the person who robbed your
safe Of its historic treasure. Look at
it carefully" He dropped the needle
on his palm and held it out plainly be-
fore the wondering eyes of the anxious
pair. What would you argue from
that needle?"
Neither spoke, but both stood star
ing silently at the thin hair of steel.
You don't use a needle in any part
of your business, do your"
NO" answered Reichmann slowly.
I'll give you this much of hint.
This is the finest make of embroidery
needle; it is made in Japan" said Poe,
smiling grimly, Doesn't that suggest
anything?"
That 1t was Japanese who rob-
bed the safe?" cried Senior Terranova
shrewdly.

professors that come here sometimes

Mexican
Few men, even Japanese, use fine

smiled Poe. Il don't believe any jap

with him"
"a woman, then? A Japanese
woman" cried Reichmann.
Il leave that to your vivid magma
tion," answered Poe. Meantime l
would like to assure Senior Terranova,"
he bowed to that gentleman, that his
suspicious are quite false, and that if
he will agree to keep the matter quiet
| will guarantee to give him news of
the real thief within five days"
But what guaranty have ~" asked
the Mexican sullenly.

Poe." The Mexican's attitude changed
abruptly; he dropped into chair. and
looked up at Poe helplessly. What
about the needle and the Jap woman?
How did she do it?"
"T1l explain when / have the facts
to back up my theories" answered
Poe. For the present, is there any
train into Mexico City tonight?"
There's the one at seven o'clock"
answered Reichmann. But why go to
Mexico City? This safe was opened
only last night; we didn't discover it
until unlocked the Office at noon to-
day. Whoever turned the trick must
still be in town."

THE mozo who came along with our
burros had a false diamond ring he
said somebody gave him for quick
trip down the mountain to the train
last night. I'll go hunt up this boy
again, question him. and then take
the seven o'clock to Mexico City"
"But why to Mexico?" repeated
Reichmann.
Because that Is the center. city

here just say Mexico when you speak
Of it, the same as we in America say
simply New York Mexico City is
the safest place for thief to market

fered Senior Terranova, jumping to his
feet, evidently impressed by the en-
ergetic manner of the New York bank

Christopher Poe managed to find the
place where the burro boy with the
guitar and black spectacles had left
the caravan. On questioning the
youth he learned that the person who
had given him the glass ring was a
man, an American, with a sombrero, a
suitcase, and a red waterbottle.

BY reckless riding down the stun

composed of three different materials.
The copper coats are put on first; then
the zinc coats are applied, and lastly
a finishing material of lacquer is put
on, which protects the zinc and also
adds to the rust-resisting qualities of
the screen.
All these coats are applied to the

definite practical rights of the citizen

may not have reached the stage when
we have established the fact that a

1t now stands. Upon finding that the
tree had lost all signs of life, the gar
dener in this park devised the novel
idea of turning the dead trunk into
this artistic seat rather than dig 1t
out bodily.
Suiting the action to the decision he
cut the main limbs of about six feet
from the ground and to the top of
these he fastened pretty roof, which
is made Of palm branches. This done.
the seat, which runs ali around the
trunk at a distance Of about foot
and half from the ground. was made
out Of sections Of palm branches. In
addition to being inexpensive. this seat
is one Of the most attractive in this
very elaborate park.
This suggestion might well be fol-
lowed by others. 1t Is not an uncom-
mon sight to see unsightly dead trees
in public parks, which might be con-
verted into useful and ornamental OBJ
jects instead.-World's Advance.
