NEW YORK, Sept. 16.-That the difficulties between the United States and Germany will be settled within a fortnight was the opinion voiced by Ambassador Von Bernstorff upon his arrival from Washington.

 Count von Bernstorff added that he felt gratified over the outcome of his conference with Secretary Lan- sing and it is believed now certain, the Hesperian was not torpedoed

The late Bishop Potter once had oc- casion to officiate at a christening in a small fishing village The proud father, a young fisherman, awkardly holding his first-born, daughter, was visibly embarrassed under the scrutiny of the many eyes of the congregation When the time for the baptism arriv- ed, the Bishop noticed thta the father was holding the child so that it's fat legs pointed toward the front.
 Turn her this way" whispered the Bishop. But the father was too dis concerted to hear or understand.
 Turn her feet around" again whis- pered the Bishop. But still there was no response The situation was fast becoming critical when an old sailor at the back of the church, came to the rescue. Putting his weather-beat- en hands to his mouth, he roared across the room:

PEACE AT ANY PRICE
 DEGRADING DOCTRINE
(By Speaker Champ Clark)


 I differ toto caelo with the pro- ponents of peace at any price," That is an amazing, a demoralizing, a de- grading doctrine.
 On the other hand, I am utterly op- posed to those who advocate large standing army and to those who ad- vocate navy equal to the two biggest navies in the world. 1 am not a jingo. God forbit! I hope most pro- foundly there will never be anoinc.. war-particularly another to which we are a party. But, knowing that human nature has not changed jot or little since Adam and Eve were driven with flaming swords from paradise, l am in favor of putting the country in such posture that if war should for any reason become necessary we may emerge from it conqueror, as we have been in all our wars.
 Toward the consummation of this pldH dHu III Ad'Ol ol uouuI1HS Cuo number of cadets at West Point and of making it obligatory upon the secre- tary of war to detail an army officer to any school, college or university which will furnish a minimum of two hundred students to drill.

CONSERVATISM AND ITS
 RELATION 10 PROGRESS


 vatives, who are always reluctant to recognize any change, than to the pro gressives, who are eternally, trying to introduce something new, says the Mexican Mining Journal. That may be true or not according to the point of view. To the conservative it is more comfortable to sit still than tC move. It is unfortunate for ehe pro- gressives that the conservatives are always in an overwhelming majority. It takes a tremendous push to start anything really new and not merely an improvement.
 Some years ago a young engineer conceived the brilliant idea of pump ing the solid deposits of sulphur in Louisiana instead of mining them in the usual way The melting point of sulphur is sufficiently low to permit of its being liquified by means of steam introduced through the pipes driven from the surface. Everyone knows of the early trials and disappoint- ments which Frasch had to face, and the solid weigh of conservatism which he was compelled to move. Yet the final result of his efforts upset the worlds market The conservatives in Italy who had for years controlled the market ar eprobabiy still wondering what happened to them.
 It was a young man almost fresh from college that perfected the pro- cess for making cyanide by synthesis instead of the time honored method of working up various by-products. The inventor of the first practical pro- cess for the manufacture of aluminium and later other electric heat processes was also young and undiscouraged.
 None of these revolutionary inven- tions owes anything to the conserva- tive elements in the industries which they revolutionized. The risks of fail ure seemed too great to those to whom success had brought the dread of failure However, of late years the worlds attitude toward the new has changed While the aim of all busi- ness is still to play safe and avoid risks, it has been found that the big gest profits sometimes elude the con- seryative. The development of new processes and new systems is no long CT left to the young and inexperienced. Edison has taught the world to reject nothing that promises to serve given purpose until it has been tried and found wanting. Manufacturers of electrical machinery find that it pays better to give inventors salary than to buy their inventions or to beat their patents by process of law.
 In some industries the quest of the new has even been organized and systemized until the element of chance has entirely disappeared from the process of invention. The pro- duction of new dye compounds has been reduced to a routine, and in very many cases it is possible to predict what the result of a new combination of radicals is likely to be. Haphazard, chance invention is being replaced by organized research.
