BERLIN (Via Sayville wireless),
May Herman newspapers in
commenting upon recent utterances
of Sir Edward Grey, the British for
eign secretary. relative TO the origin
and cause Of the war. declare that
they are hardly apt to foster the
cause of peace. although the British
statesman does not use such high
sounding and hollow phrases as Ger
rlany ought TO be crushed, which
up until the present, was usually
given as Ergland's object in the
war"
II is agreed by the press that Sir
Edward repeats what the German
chancellor has already refuted in
his speech Of Aug. 10. 1915, when he
discussed the declarations of Premier
Asquith uuon similar subject.
Premier Asquith then asserted that
Germany had made an impossible
understanding with England by ask
ing England's absolute neutrality
in the event of Germany's being
engaged in war"
The chancellor has already stated
il is pointed out. that Germany had
asked England's neutrality should
var be forced upon Germany
which is quite a different thing since
il excludes the possibility of agrees
sive intentions on Germany's part.
The newspapers also discuss Sir
Edward Grey's assertions that Eng
land had no aggressive intentions to-
ward Germany. But they prove that
the contrary was true by quoting
secret reports of Belgian diplomats

Goron was chief of the Paris police
when the following incident took place:
Lombroso had written a book in 1888
on criminality among women, so runs
the story, and when it was finished
wrote to Goron to send him forth
with some portraits of Partisan wom-
en- criminals. Anxious to please the
writer, the package was made up and
started on its tour to Italy. When
the book came out LOmbroso sent
copy, handsomely bound. to Goron,
who saw his gift acknowledged on the
first page. 1T was a scholarly book"
said the chief, land would have had
large sale but for an error on my part.
The pictures came out of the wrong
drawer Of my desk. They were not
criminals ut all, but women who had
applied for hucksters' licenses, and a
new edition had to be printed to make
good police mistake"
