TASTE AND MANNERS.

Sometimes They Are Linked and Are
 Also Both Bad.
 What Is the difference between taste and manners?
 It may be bad manners to knock man down, but it is not necessarily bad taste.
 A rich man in Philadelphia gave reception and issued invitation cards upon which were engraved his picture. This was not bad manners. It was cer. tainly bad taste.
 A large, handsome woman once broke into a meeting of President Lincoln's cabinet, iuterrupting the proceedings. The hOmely Lincoln arose and, ad. dressing her, said:
 Madam, what do you wish?"
 She replied;
 'I came in here to take look at you" Lincoln smiled.
 "Well, madam" he replied, Tn the matter of looking have a distinct ad- vantage of you"
 That was both bad taste and bad manners on her part, and on the part Of Lincoln it was good manners and good taste to refrain from throwing her out of the window, as in strict jus, tice he should have done.
 Good taste is largely matter of eX. perience united to natural abilities.
 To go up to your father-in-law at your wedding breakfast with bottle of champagne in your hand and slap ping him on the back, calling him ''old sport" is not only bad taste and bad manners, but wretChed sense, especial ly If the old gentleman is worth a mil lion.
 To be told that your friend Is too busy to see you in his office and then to call him up over the nearest telephone Is not necessarily bad taste. but bad manners. The two may go together, but this Is not an invarible rule.-Life.

When Davison Heard Morgan Wanted
 Him For Partner.
 "AIr. Morgan wants 10 see you in his library at 8 o'clock" was the message received one day by the vice president of a New York bank.
 He hadn't the slightest idea what the veteran financier could want with him. He had met Mir. Morgan, as most other 1nancierS had, during the parlous days when the master mind of them all was trying to stem the 1907 panic, but had not seen anything of Mir. Morgan until the spring os the following year when, with Senator Aldrich and other mem- bers of the monetary commission, he had spent Sunday at MT. Morgans London home. Between then and the receipt of the above message in the fail of 1908 he had seldom spoken to MT. Morgan.
 Promptly at 8 o'clock the young banker, wondering what the matter could be, rang the bell of the famous Morgan library. On being ushered in he almost collided with MT. Morgan at the entrance 10 his private room.
 Mr. Morgan shook hands and bade the puzzled visitor be seated.
 Do you realize it is pretty near the ist of January?' he asked.
 The young banker, very much at sea, agreed that 1t was. This was about the middle of November.
 Are you ready?" asked MT. Morgan.
 Ready for what?" queried the aston lshed visitor.
 For what?" echoed Mir. Morgan. 'YOu know l want you to come and join my firm on the tst of January"
 You never said anything about it. Mir. Morgan"
 "I thought you knew by my expres- sion what l thought of you" said MT Morgan.
 "NIr. Morgan. have you ever fallen from au eighteen story buildlng?"
 It was Mir Morgan's turn to be aston ished.
 "No," he replied, scrutinizing his vis- itor.
 Well, I never have before, and 1t will take me minute or two to catch my breath"
 Mir. Morgan laughed.
 And that was how Henry P. Davi- son, then only forty, was notified of bis selection as a partner in the greatest international banking firm in the Unit ed StateS.-B. C. Forbes In Tseslie's.

Berlin. via sayvilIe) March "A state
ment issued today by the Trans-ocean
News Bureau quotes the German cores
pondents at the front as summarizing the
situation at verdun as follows:
Between February p and March / the
Germans gained LILO square kilometers
C457 square miles) Of terrain, which is
about four times as much as the French
gained in their whole offensive in Cham
payne last autumn.
THE German tactics have persistently
avoided the possibilities of great human
losses: therefore they avoided direct
storming and replaced it by constant col
laboration of all arms. The result has
been that the whole advance consisted
of series of tidal waves, each of which,
during the last few days brought gains"

Position of u. S. on Prus-

The United States has denied the pro.

the State Department decision as to
the Prussia n American treaties
of 1879 and 1928 gave the German prize

Appam at Newport News as a Ger

What this latter decision was neither

agreed between the department and the
attorneys for the embassy that the de-
cision should not be made public pend

quest fer suppression of the decision is
said to have been made by the attorneys
for the embassy the impression exists
that the decision as to the interpreta-
ton Of the treaties was also adverse, al

TALK OF WAR
STIRS WRATH
U. S. Officials Indignant Over
Assertions that Wilson'S
Policy Means Strife.
GERMANY OF OPINION THAT
PRESIDENT is UNSUPPORTED
Believed Here that Teutons Are Striv-
ing to Arouse Greater Sentiment
Against Wilson's Stand.

Growing indignation is felt in State De-
partment circles over what is regarded
as an organized propaganda, directed not
only from German centers in this coun-
try but from the foreign office In Berlin
to scare the American Congress and the
people of this country into the belief that
President Wilson's course in the handling
Of the submarine issue Is leading to war.
To the same extent officials resent
strongly reports being spread broadcast
in Berlin, and being printed in Berlin
newspapers as though based on reports
being received from Washington by the
German foreign office that Congress is
lined up anywhere from two to one to
FIVE to one against the Presidents in
sistence on the right of Americans to
travel on British merchant vessels armed
for defense.
Information concerning these Berlin
reports was contained in lengthy cable
gram received at the State Department
yesterday afternoon from United States
Ambassador Gerard, who declared that
the impression existed strongly In the
German capital, in oflcial circles as well
as on the streets, that the President has
the backing neither Of Congress nor the
country.
Embassy Denies Being Source.
The German Embassy denied last night
that any reports concerning the opposi-
ton to the President in Congress had
been sent to Berlin by the Ambassador.
1t was remarked in German quarters
Sre, however. that the Berlin newspa-
pets had doubtless received full reports
Of the statements printed in this country
concerning Speaker Clark's observations
to the President, when he informed the
Chief Executive that the House would
vote at least two to one against him.
American officials regard as significant
the persistent reports from Germany,
printed in certain American newspapers,
that the German government is con-
WINGED that the United States Is prepar-
ing to sever relations with Germany, and
that Germany is preparing for such an
outcome to the negotiations. 1t is sus-
pected that these stories are being in
spired with the sole view of frightening
the American people into forcing Presi-
dent Wilson to acquiesce in Germany's
contentious.
