ASSERT HOLLWEG
MISSTATES FACTS
State Department Officials De-
clare Chancellor's Remarks
Contain Little Truth.
STATEMENTS ARE ABSURD

Washington, Feb. 28.--Surprise, bor-
dering on indignation, was voiced to-
day over Chancellor Won Bethmann-
Hollweg's speech to the Reichstag.
State department officials are
amazed that the chancellor should
seek further to confuse German
American relations with series OF
statements which they say are pal
pably opposed to the most obvious
events of recent history.
The chancellor's statement that the
United States severed relations
"brusquely" is viewed as too absurd
for discussion. II is pointed out that
the American correspondence had
plainly threatened such action; that
Count Won Bernstorf had said sew
eral days beforehand that he expected
to be dismissed, and that the Ger
man government had she wn its real
ization OF the coming break by send
ing out orders to disable its merchant
ships in this country.
1t is also pointed out that while
the United States delayed three days
in taking the action it had clearly
foreshadowed in several notes, Ger

explanation, declared that the people
OF Omaha and Douglas county are
already staggering under their load
Of taxation, and with 100000 of
liquor license money no longer COM
ing in they would have to be taxed
more than ever for their own schools;
hence he was against the bill.
Not Fighting University.
When it came his turn to vote, Mr..
Taylor made the significant state
ment that the University Of Nebras-
ka and the state normal schools are
asking for large appropriations and
that he was not opposing them. He
even admitted that these appropria-
tons would be for the benefit Of the
entire state, and he claimed that his
plan for state aid TO centralized
rural schools would also be for the
good of the whole state.
As Mr.. Taylor made hard fight
against the university appropriations
in the 1915 session, his declaration
on the floor was taken as signifying
that he has no intention Of renewing
it this year.
The Custer members, however,
took hard rap at the Omaha medi-
cal college, saying that it is asking
for $36S,000 in order to educate 146
young doctors who are not pro-
ducers and never will be-"
Repeated points OF order were
made by Messrs. Ainlay, Leidigh
and Trumbie that Taylor was max
ing speech in the guise Of explain
ing his vote. The latter, however,
held the floor until he got through
and then sat down.
Other School Bills.
Several other rural school bills
were passed, among them to Oils bill
requiring an eight months term oil
school in districts having from TWEEN
ty to sevcnty-6ve pupils, and the
three Reed bills requiring a ten-grade
course Of study in one-room country
schools. The White bill, making q
majority vote sufficient to carry
bonds instead of two-thirds, also
passed.

From Hotel Lobbies

John Balm, o merchant from Brunswick,
Ga, was at the Ebbitt yesterday ana tolo
a Herald man about business conditions
in his part of the country. =
Brunswick is one OF the principal
naval stores exporting points on the
coast" said Mr.. Balm. I'VE get thou
sands Of barrels OF rosin and turpentine
each year, most OF 1t going to Europe.
The rosin is used to pack shrapnel shells,
the kmall bits Of metal being imbedded
in it We have had steamers take as
high as 5000 barrels of rosin in one car
go.
"Rosin is the residue left after turpen-
tine has been extracted from the gum
of the pine tree. Georgia Is the center
of the turpentine industry but the tur-
pentine woods are being rapidly cut out.
The rosin il graded into seven or eight
classes by an inspector on the wharves.
A standard color has been established by
the government. the lightest colored rosin
being the best. A negro cuts one inch
block from the top OF each barrel OF
rosin and then the inspector compares
each block with his set OF standards. and
marks 1t accordingly"
Mr. Balm said that many tourists were
stopping in Brunswick this year and go
ingeo the islands just 10 miles of the
coast
,"Quite a large number OF persons have
been spending the winter on St Simon's
Island" said Mr.. Balm. and it has be-
come almost as popular a winter resort
as a summer resort. We are just a few
miles above Jacksonville. and have the
same climate"
DR.. Alexis Carrel, former head OF the
Rockefeller Medical Research Founda-
ton of New York, who has been in the
service OF the French army for the past
two years, is in Washington visiting
friends. and is stopping at the Shoreham.
DR.. Carrel has had remarkable success
in patching up with his new surgical
processes wounded French soldiers, his
hospital caring for the desperately
wounded who have been given up at 9TH

Frank wineman. a travelling man from
New York, was at the Raleigh yesterday
and told Herald reporter about the food
riots he had seen in New York.
"I really don't think there is much
more starvation now than there has been
at many other times" said Mr.. Wine
man. There are always thousands OF
persons about haIf-starved on the East
Side. and other poor districts. and they
will riot whenever the occasion offers, or
a good leader comes along. OF course,
prices are tremendously high, but the
main fact about these riots is that they
are largely due to agitators, and not SO
much to actual conditions.
THE poor are deeply angered by the
unusual display of extravaganza in New
York the past year or two. Thousands
have been made rich by the war and are
spending 1t along Fifth avenue. We have
never seen such lavish displays of extrav-
agance, and 1t is hard for starving peo-
pie to contemplate these scenes calmly
Without these scenes to anger them II
isn't likely that we would have had any
riots, and they and the agitators are
primarily responsible. Most of these agi-
tators are I. w. W. members and are
simply grating on poor organizations
or seeking notoriety."

HOROSCOPE.
Wednesday, February IS, 1917.

This is not lucky day, according to
the reading of astrologers. Early in the
morning Neptune and Jupiter are in
benefic aspect, but during the hours OF
business Saturn, the Sun and Mars are
in evil place.
Under this rule 1t is most important
to avoid dissensions of every aspect.
There is a leading making for egotism.
arrogance and stubbornness that causes
trouble in domestic and business affairs.
There is a sinister sign read as indi-
eating trouble or scandal relating to the
United States army. Expenditures may
come under investigation and some ques-
ton of policy is likely to be bitterly dis
cussed.
While the Sun guides as it does to-
day, It is wise to avoid superiors in any
line Of work as they are likely to be diff
ficult to deal with and extraordinarily
exacting. 1t is a most inauspicious sway
under which to seek political preferment
The seers predict a serious time for
men and women in vocations of pro-
fessional or semi-professional character
as competition will be more severe than
ever before.
New activities for women are predict
ed, but these will engage members of the
working classes
Increase Of the birthrate again is prog
nosticated and twins will be numerous, 1t
is foretold.
Under this planetary government there
should be the greatest intellectual activ-
ity and seats Of learning should pro-
duce scholars of unusual attainments.
A sensation in which a college presi-
dent Is concerned is foretold. This will
have some political significance in all
probability. Switzerland has the fore
cast of unrest, increase in mysterious
crimes and business problems Of various
sorts.

Back Yards Have Big Possibilities,

Prof. Bartch told Of the possibilities of
home gardens and what can be done with
the ordinary ash-heap back yard. ANY
thing you import from foreign lands is
not half as interesting as the flowers you
grow at home" he said. "You have to
have the right kind of soil to make flow
ers bloom. The thing that is necessary
Is to find out the relation between the
plant and the ground" He declared
there are 80 or IS species Of FERNS around
Washington, many Of which people do
