Monkey No Longer Boasted.

The monkey was forever blowing about what .nan has accomplished. "This descendant of mine," he would say, lis the most enlightened animal on earth" He told of all that man has done, and told it so often that the other animals were sick of listening. Finally some of them induced him to go to theater. After each act he would say to the other animals: "Those people are my descendants and am very proud of them. None of the balance of you can point with pride to such descendants" At last a man came on the stage alone. He danced on the floor; then he jumped up in the air and danced; he sat down and danced; he got himself in all kinds of shapes; he danced things that no one had ever danced before, and few things that no one would ever dance again. Before the man had finished the monkey got up and left the house. and from that day until this he has never once mentioned his descendants. Claude Callan, in Fort Worth Star Telegram.

Special Gable to The New York Times
BERLIN, June 2, (via London)--Dr,
Eagen Kuhnemann, professor at Bres-
lau university who. was an exchange
professor to,t the, United States and re-
Gently, returned to Europe with Ger.
man diplomats, gives his impressions in
the Vossische Zeitung of the first days
of the war in America.
Professor Kuhnemann says the Amer
lean people behaved in exemplary fash
ion. There was no excitement, and any
German going quietly about his bust
ness had nothing to fear. He thinks
that the government was very anxious
that all unnecessary harshness should
be avoided.
After the break in relations with Ger
many the situation developed with
great speed, contrary. to the expecta.
tions of a large majority Of the Ameri-
can people.
Professor Kuhnemann is convinced
that the American people were for
peace up to the last minute. Never be-
fore had they realized with what alb.
solute autocracy America was governed
by her President. President Wilson IS
speech, he says, simply swept the mem
hers Of congress off their feet. Much
to their own astOnishment, they had
thrown the full force of America 8
power on the side of the Entente before
they realized what they had done.
2 President Wilson 3 justification for
entering the war did not cover the real
reasons, Doctor Kuhnemann insists.
There are many good Americans he
says, who honestly believe that the
German autocratic militariBm must be
destroyed for, the good of the world.
But the wiser men in America look be-
low the surface. To them this war Is
only a by-play of gigantic financial
transaction. America wishes to help
the Entente to win the war in order not
to lose the colossal capital which she
has invested in it's cause.
The Germans, he asserts, are fully
justified in Joking upon Americas en-
trance into the world war as a cOnfes.
sion by the Allies that they are at the
end of their wits and power.
Professor Kuhnemann thinks that an
other reason Why America entered the
war was that she wished England as
an ally. r
. Whatever may happen, the Professor
adds, America will emerge from this
war much stronger power than be,
fore. America is now creating for her
self real and imposing army, strong
navy, and large merchant fleet, which
in peace time, owing to peculiar home
politics and protests by japan and
England, would have been impossible or
at least extremely difficult.
Thus the world again witnesses the
fact that what other powers achieve
only with the greatest difficulty and
enormous sacrifices comes to America
overnight. |.,

NItSNQRS AND
New Army Must Not Be Along
wPrussian Lines, Declares
af5s Mr. Roosevelt =,
CBy The Associated Pross)

P PHILADELPHIA, June 10-Theo-
dore Roosevelt, in an address here to-
night at the annual memorial services
of the Railroad Brotherhoods and the
Order of Railway Photographers, assert
ed that this country Is new army should
be "on the French, the democratic
model; not on the Prussian, the aristo-
cratic model"
"Let every boy in the country serve
in the ranks" he said, "and let the
promotion Is officers come to the boy
who shows himself httest, whether he
is the son of ck-layer or banker;
or brakeman or a railway, president.
Let discipline be strict in the perform
ance of duty, obedience instant and UNI
faltering; but outside of service let it
be understood that there is no social
lines of cleavage between the one who
does his full duty in one position and
those who do their full duty in an
other. Doing their full duty-that is
the. only test"
Bravery Of Isolation
Colonel Roosevelt declared, through
unpreparedness and taking little
thought of the morrow, the people of
the United States have been attributing
to their virtues much which they really
owe to the fact that they are on a new
continent separated by two great
oceans from the Old World.
awe have utterly failed to prepare
for the war that has come upon us, "
he continued, "and now, with the ut,
most energy and good will, but with a
vast expenditure of money and effort,
and with infinite hurry and. confusion
and laundering we are andeavoring to
make good-and at best we can only
partially make good the damage
wrought by our foolish refusal TO look
unpleasant facts in the face"
Referring to the industrial situation,
the former President declared "this
is neither the time nor the place to
attempt to work out in detail all that
must be done in attempting to solve
the industrial problem.
Big Business Necessary
"But," he added, ait is eminently
desirable to lay down a few broad prin.
ciples, because it is eminently desir.
able that our people should grow to ac-
cept these principles as part of their
Luihh VI stCuhg COhNlCllOH winch utIcT-
mines popular action; and should cool
headedly begin to work out, by study
and above all by cautious experiment,
the methods of reducing the principles
TO action" =.
"We must shun equally the mere sell
fish egotist and the mere well.meanihg
fool, declared Colonel Roosevelt.
1--WE should in every way foster and
aid business; and we must remember
that in the internationalized world of
today the big business unit is indis.
pensable. Then, together, with this
fostering and encouragement, should
go such supervision and control as to
secure the largest possible measure Of
equity in the distribution of the re-
wards and profits; and, as far as proves
feasible, growing measure Of property
interest in, and directional control over,
the business, by all who work perma-
nently therein" -.

president SENDS
J. MESSAGE TO SLAVS

Word Of the contents of the message
which the President sent to the Rus
sian people, timed so as TO be made pub
lie with the arrival, in Petrograd, of the
American delegation, has been received
in this city The message contains a re-
view of the aims for which the United
States intends to fight to the end. They
might be divided some what as follows:
l. Crushing the militarism and aban-
donment of heavy ornaments as a
guarantee against junkerism again
plunging the world into a sea of blood.
This is the demand of democracy
that it may be made safe against the
onslaughts of an imperial clique.
2. Freedom Of the seas and Testric
tion of the use Of submarines as q
weapon of defense. Crews of merchant
vessels must be assured safety. In this
connection restrictions upon the use of
many implements of land war are also
likely Poison gas, liquid flame and
similar weapons are regarded as too in
human to be allowed to again be EN-.
ployed for the destruction of life.
3. Guarantees that will hold that
small nations and their rights will be
respected. This includes the recreation
and indemnity Of Belgium, Serbia and
other little countries wiped out by the
Germans, as well as the establishment
so far as possible borders on racial
lines. A Jewish republic in Palestine
may be one of the outgrowths of the
war, and this is favored by the United
States.

WASHINGTON, June ls-Indica.
tions last night were that subscriptions
to the Liberty Loan win be found 10 be
approximately 2,s00,000,000 when final
footings are secured. Eorees Of clerks
have been engaged in making eompila,
tions ever since the closing hour, and IL
is expected that the final tabulations
will be secured some time today. :,
Owing to the large oversubscription
70 the loan, Secretary McAdoo has TO
determine how tho awards shall be
made. IL now appears probable that
he viii decide that applications in ex.
cess Of $4,000 of bonds will be pro
rated, but that smaller applications will
be awarded in full. This will carry out
the plan to make the Liberty Loan in
every, sense a popular loan and to SO.
cure the largest possible number Of in.
.dividual subscribers. During the whole
of the campaign for the SUCCESS of the
loan great stress was laid upon this de.
sire, Secretary McAdoo bringing il out
clearly in his speeches made in, the
cities Of the Middle West. LII.
If this plan be carried out IL will be
necessary to determine on a rate Of
award in amounts OF $4,000, as the
smaller subscriptions win require a
large proportion Of the bonds to be met
in full. i. g

i WASH IN GTON, June 49,
Endorsement and approval Of the
plans of the National Defense
Councils program to secure con-
troll OF the air for the Allies will
be given by the war department,
it has been determined, and Presi-
dent Wilson will be asked to lend
it his support. ~
The proposed program for the
aerial campaign contemplates an
expenditure Of S6oo,0o0,oOo to be
largely spent in the construction
in this country Of air craft. 1t
purposes that a number of battle
planes shall be built and still
larger number of practise or
training craft which can be turned
out rapidly here and will be quite
as effective for that purpose as
foreign built machines although
the United States has much to
learn from both England and
France as to type and construc-
ton of the machines that are to
be used in actual warfare.
Secretary Baker yesterday said
that he believed this plan was the
most effective one yet offered to
exert the american forces imme-
diately and with efficiency. He
says that the United States can
train men and build machines in
large numbers without in any
way interfering with other plans
for the increase Of the army and
the navy and for supplying the
Allies with food and ammunition.
The construction of air craft will
not require manu- featuring plants
that would otherwise be used for
any of those purposes and advis-
ers among the Allies agree that
the program offers an aid of
which they should be glad to
avail.

The schism of the Constitutionalists

in the southern provinces indicates an

is confronted with the probability of
a president and dictator in a struggle

r 0NB0N, June sl8-Germany
~ is seeking an armistice with
Russia to remain in force during
the period Of the Russian gen.
eral elections and the conStitu-
tional convention that is to fol-
low.
Such is the salient feature of
the report that comes from Co.
penhageI where the socialist
convention, at which Socialists
from all over the world are
now meeting, is now being
held. On the heels of this
despatch comes one from Petro-
grad, where the provisional gov
eminent and duma still are in
session, to the effect that the
Russian people are determined
upon an immediate offensive
against the enemy. The duma
Yesterday passed a resolution in
which it was asserted that "a
separate peace with Germany or
even a prolonged period Of mac
tiyity on the part Of the Russian
troops would be unthinkabIe
treason to Russia's allies
The Associated Press how
ever, has reliable Information
that Germany is doing all that
she can to bring about an armis-
tice with the Russians for a va
riety OF reasons, but chiefly be-
cause she desires to see the for
nation of a stable form of dow
eminent in Russia with which
she will be able to treat for a
separate peace.
It has become well known in
Copenhagen where the socialist
conference is going forward with
its deliberations, that the Berlin
government has spared no pains
to- encourage the socialist eIe-I
ment in Russia, and has by
means Of Semi-officiaI communi-I
cations from the German chan
cellor and kilograms from Won,
Hindenburg himself, played into
the hands of the council of SOL
diers and Workingmen's depu-
ties, which has seized Nonstad,
the key to Petrogtad.
Il is understood that both the
chancellor and the field marshal
have minated that they are
seeking a, separate peace, but
failing that for the time beinu
would be content with an armis-
toe with Russia that would last
until after the formation of a
stable form of government in
