DIDN'T WORK OUT

When Admiral Dewey was making
the whole world sit up and take no.
tice of the American navy. back in
1898, the German rear admiral at
Manila Bay, Won Goetzen, close
friend of the Kaiser, told Dewey in a
fit of boastful confidence: "In about
fifteen year my country will begin
great war. Some months after we
have done our business in Europe
we shall take New York and proba-
place with Germany. We shall ex-
them for time. We do not intend to
take any territory from you, but only
to put your country in its proper
place with Germany We shall ex-
tract one or two billions of dollars
from New York and other towns"
Won Goetzen was something of a
prophet, though matters have not
panned out wholly according to SEIZED
ule. Germany did begin a great war
within one year from the date set by
the German admiral at Manila for the
occurance, "Our business in Europe
has not been wound up with the neat
ness and dispatch the German antici.
pated, and the liking of New York
and Washington is indefinitely post.
poned, 1t is even possible that Ger.
man would now be willing to fore
go that lone or two billion dollars
indemnity which we were to pay her
in exchange for promise on our
part to keep hands off while she i.
spreading kultur in Europe and on
the seas. The putting ,of this coun
try "in its proper place with refer.
ence to Germany" does not seem tt
be quite as attractive a proposition
as 1t did awhile ago.
