Recent encouraging news of British
and French gains against the Ger
mans and of German losses at the
Gulf of Riga, greater than at first re-
ported, also of distressing conditions
in Germany, no doubt have caused
many to think that the end of the
war might almost be in sight. Lord
Northcliffe, distinguished British ed
1tor and publisher, head of the Brit
ish war mission, in a talk to some
editors the other day said that cit
is impossible that this should be a
short war;" that "there are no facts
which will form the basis for such
an opinion" Quoting further from
his speech: "The German Reichstag
unlike our Congress and Parliament
has little power save the pas,
sage OF few appropriations. While
it is possibly true that one-third Of
the German population has become
sickened of war, the ruling two-thirds
are firm in their conviction that the
war is being prosecuted successfully
to victorious elimination for theil
government"
Lord Northcliffe asserted tina
American newspapers are presenting
the news of the war in an erroneou
manner. He said that the fact tina
so:-etttiag Tas wrong with German,
was being featured when as matte
OF fact the only thing wrong wit
the German nation was the Kaiser
He told of the policy of his publica
lions in England which gave the sam
treatment to British losses and Brit
ish and Allied gains.

A private who rejoiced in the name
of Beethoven and claimed to be a
great-grandson Of the immortal COM
poser, ended a gladstone career at
Charlotte Thursday night of last week
when he was shot by a provost guards
man who attempted to arrest him,
Beethoven having left Camp Greene,
where he was under detention for
some breach of military regulations.
Folks were all cut up about it for
young Beethoven had walked right
into the good graces of church folks
and all and had played smooth game
for which the unsophisticated Char
lottle folk fell with eagerness. Bee
thoven was-or is: as this is written
it is not known whether the shot that
arrested him ended his mortal career
or not-a German, but he said he
had lived in this country and had
tasted the joys of freedom, and want
ed to fight for it. So he was in the
army, with troops from the State of
Washington. He wrote piece, SER
monette it was, which The Observer
printed for him, and then some church
fort to be nice to the boy. He got in
vitations to break bread. He went
to Sunday school and was a model
scholar. He borrowed money right
and left to tide him over till pay day.
He won golden opinions and was ego
ing some"-when suddenly pistol
shot rung out, Beethoven was carried
to hospital with maybe a mortal
wound, and it began to be whispered
that maybe Beethoven was spy.
Sh-h-h-h. Well, anyway, those who
were so cruelty deceived figure, no
doubt, that it is better to be trusting
and to be deceived than to be so ev-
erlasting suspicious that you can't
trust anybody. Which the same it is
