A New War Prediction

Prof Hugo Muensterburg, Of Harvard university,
presents an interesting prediction regarding the Euro
mean war He claims reliable information that before
spring Germany and Russia viii sign separate peace
that Russia viii carry Japan over TO the Ieutonic
CAMP and that the result will be an alliance OF Ger
many Austria Hungary, Russia and Japan He states
Russia and Japan are endeavorng to effect such
treaty and that it would be welcomed by majority
Of the German people
Prof Muensterburg who IS very Ieutonlc II his
ypathie declares Russia half bankrupt and starv-
ine very important feature Of his alliance theory
Is buried IN mass Of other observations 1t IS TINS;
aOnce the alliance formed 1t will seek to crush the
ambition Of England for world power, which implies
vvsr either of arms or commerce
The reputation of Prof MuenSteIburg is too high to
permit question Of his assertions far they ex
press his own convictions He is sincere II may be
taken for granted But there serious question Of the
authenticity Of his information. Japan has more to
gain by standing out against Germany than by effect
ing peace treaty which might involve REIMBURSEMENT
Of some Of the large advantages in the orient which
Tapsu has wrests ed from Germany Russia, far from
seeking a separate peace, has not only denied any
intention of so doing but has signed covenant with
the rest Of the entente not to do More convincing
than either of these the third fact that Russia has
lust adopted a new budget contemplating another
year Of war-
Furthermore far from being bankrupt, the revenue
Of Russia for the year is announced at S2039oOooOO

The Wright Patents

Newspapers are commenting rather extensively on
the assertion that Orvle Wright has donated to Great
Britain the basic patents his arplane parts, worth
millions to that nation The feeling seems to be that
Mr. Wright, being an American citizen, should have
granted his rights to the American government, II he
felt philanthTopcally inclined
This view is due to a misconception Of the fact
What happened was this: the Wright arplane patents
IN England expired and for not explained MI
Wright did not care renew his letters or patent
They thereupon became public property in England and
anyone England is at liberty to the designs per-
fected by the Wrghts- They may not be used IN any
other country where the Wghts have patents still IN
force
Thus Great Britain rather, the English, have con-
troll Of the Wright patents at home only, not IN the
United States where presumably the patents issued BY
this government are still in force
Whether the patents in this country viii be renewed
IS a matter on which Mr.. Wright has not committed
himself Perhaps they will be- and Will continue TO
bring him large income. Perhaps the other hand,
they viii be allowed to lapse and thus become public
property
At any rate Mr.. Wright has not favored foreign
country at the expense Of his native land
Mexican nOncounterfeitable money to be
money not worth cOunterfeting.
