"PRUSSI AIMED GERMANY"

Why should '''the land of poetry, art
and music" sink hospital ships? The
question is giving perplexity to many
who as travellers and students have
quaffed deeply at the spring of German
humanism." Prof. Edward Dickinson
of Oberlin College counted himself as
one of the bewildered, but he is now
feeling his way toward a solution of the
problem. Recalling the three years he
spent in Berlin, he suggests that in ap-
portioning the guilt We must take two
Germanys into account-on the one hand
Prussia, "hard, domineering, Philistine,
of wonderful genius in organizing for
purely material ends;" on the other the
populations of the Rhine country, of
western and middle Germany and Aus
trla. He points out that nearly all of
the great German poets were born out
side Prussia, and that Prussia did not
produce one of the great German COM
posers. Bach was Thuringian, Mozart
Bavarian, Haydn an Austrian citizen,
probably Croat; Handel, Schumann
and Wagner were Saxons; Mendelssohn
and Brahms were born in Hamburg and
Beethoven in Bonn, of Flemish descent
on his fathers side.
A highly pertinent fact, little known,
but now worth recalling, is that the poet
Heine, born of Jewish parents at Dussel-
dorf, practically foretold nearly eighty
years ago what would happen when the
policies of the Fatherland came to be
dictated from Berlin. Writing from
Paris, he deplored greatly move ment
then on foot to make the kings of Prus-
STA the rulers of united Germ any,"
For his part, he had never felt inclined
to repose so much confidence in Prussia.
Il have rather" he said, "been filled
with anxiety IS gazed on this PEussian
eagle, and, while others boosted of the
bold way in which he glared at the sun,
my attention was drawn more and more
to his claws. never trusted this Prus-
sian, this tall, canting hero in CATERS,
with his big paunch and his large jaws
and his corporai's stick, which he dips in
holy water as he lays it about your back.

ism, this hodge-podge of thin beer, lies
and sand. utterly Ioathe this Prussia,
this stiff, hypocritical, sanctimonious
Prussia, this Tartuffe among the ma
lions"
A if Heine were alive today would
he not heartily subscribe to Prof. Dick
inson 8 summing up of this war as the
product, not of Germany clothed in it's
right mind, but of "a Prussianized Ger.
many-a Germany perverted, beguiled
by political sophlstrles, SO dazzled by the
glitter and pomp and swagger of bla.
tant imperialism and the glamor OF a sud.
den material prosperity that it has lost its
sense OF the true values. and IN the pas
sion to gain the whole world has, for the
time at least, lost its oul?"-Bostou

PLEDGES SUPPORT TO NATIONS
EXECUTIVES.
Newspaper Publishers In Session at New
York.

Newspaper Publishers In Session at New
York.
NEW YORK, April "a. Newspaper
publishers from all parts of the country,
assembled here today for the annual
meeting of the Associated Press, passed
resolution pledging their hearty sup
port of the effort of the executives of
the Government to carry ont effectively
the mandate of the Nation" expressed
in the war resolution passed by the Con-
gress on April 9Th. This action was taken
at a business session which followed a
patriotic luncheon at which the Stars and
Stripes, Union Jack and Tricolor were
raised amid the cheers of the members,
while chorus of 50 voices sang the Ma
tional anthems of the United States,
England and France.
Reading at the luncheon of telegram
from President Wilson, expressing re-
greet that his duties prevented him from
being present was followed by prolonged
applause. Joseph H. Choate and ex-
Judge Peter S. Grosscup were the princi-
pal speakers. Frank b. Noyes, presi-
dent of the association. was POSTMASTER.
TIE room in which the luncheon was
held was decorated with the Nationa
colors and behind the POSTMASTER was
the Presidential flag and a miniature
Statue of Liberty. Soon after the guests
were seated the lights were turned off,
while Marines hoisted the flags of the
United States, Great Britain and France
to masts so constructed that compressed
air kept the coIors of the Allies waving.
by the members, and this was followed
by God Save the King" and the "Mar-
seilaise.
Mr.. Choate was warmly applauded
when he declared that he believed 1.-The
spirit of Abraham Lincoln had led US into
this war; He pictured President Wilson
as "our chosen leader" and urged all to
stand by him.
'1f Lincoln were here today" said Mr..
Choate, "his prayer would be verified
and glorifed into the prayer that all
civilized Nations shall now have new
birth of freedom and that Government of
the people, by the people and for the peo-
pie shall not perish from any portion of
the earth.
Some of US in the past have criticised
the President" Mr.. Choate continued
Some of us have long hesitated and
doubted; some of US thought that watch
full waiting would never cease, but now
we see what the President was waiting
for and how wisely he waited. He was
waiting to see how fast and how far the
American people would keep pace with
him and stand up for any action he pro-
posed"
Judge Grosscup asserted that the war
had developed new feeling, a new at
titude, a new recognition of the common
man.
'In the trenches in Europe" he said,
The fights side by side with his titled
companion. In the munitions shops of
Europe he is working side by side with
the man who in peace had been his Lords
son.
Through the trappings of privilege
and through the blind devotion that is
sometimes given to wealth, the thought
of service is rising like a golden halo.

GATHER
NDHONOR MEMORY
Of FRANK RADCLIFFE

Hundreds of friends of deceased
gathered at the home of Mrs. Rad
cliffe, mother of the man who was
shot and killed at River Junction by
the yardmaster Powell, to pay the
last sad respects to a man who was
esteemed by men OF all classes. He
was Il general favor:te, not only with
railroad men, but with all whom he
had been associated II business, fra
ternai and social ol1cles, and his
death was a great shock.
The services we're impressively
conducted by Rev. MIR. Moffett, pastor
of the First Presbyterian Church,
assisted by Rev. JOHN H. Brown, rec
Tor of Christ Episcopal church, and
strong men wept when the eloquent
tributes to the deceased were paid
by the ministers.
The interment was made at St.
Johns cemetery, to which point the
long cortage slowly moved, following
TIE services at the home.
Despite the stormy conditions which
prevailed in this section during the
past several days, there was an
abundance floral offerings, a great
lot havingf been offered by friends.
The remains, as stated in The

was comfortable. While we all felt
that we were going to be lost when
we left the Wasp, those two deck
hands were apparently trying to cheer
US up, for they continually sang, It's
a ong, Long Way From Home or
something like that, and the spirit
they displayed was real heart-rending
to US. Captain Hansen injured his
foot, and believe Captain Sundberg
was slightly hurt. One thing of note
was the mess boy. He borrowed
knife from about every man in the
life boats and made the excuse that
he wanted to open the cocoanuts for
US. In every case he handed the knife
back with one or more broken blades,
and after reaching the fishing smack
admitted that he broke the blades on
purpose, and that he did it because
he was afraid, in an extremity. he
was to be eaten. That admission was
the cause of a great laugh, despite
the fact that we were not in mood
to derive much merriment from any
thing"
The Wasp" owned by Fred Lind
eman, of San Francisco, when she left
here several weeks ago, went to Gal
weston and loaded lumber for Jucaro,
Cuba, afterward going to Cape Ora

mahogany logs, for Mengel, but the
ship was not owned by that flha,.
She was a vessel Of GAL gross tons,
