Three German Soldiers

Peter Joseph Osterhaus, OF whose
death at Duisberg we have news, was
the survivor of a group of Union
volunteer Generals in our Civil War

Osterhaus alone, we believe, became
a Brigadier-General on the retired
list Of the regular army. In 1905
this rank with retired pay was be-
slowed upon Osterhaus. Carl Schurz
died the following year; Franz Sigel
had been dead three years. Oster-

Mysterious
tFrom the New York Trlbune.)

Discussing the debate on the
Hitchcock resolution, The New York
I mes said yesterday:
Nothing that the United States
Senate may do, nothing that all the
mass meetings and petitions from
Bangor to san Diego may do, will
bring peace one hour nearer. Peace
is in the hands OF a group OF do
termined men in Europe, who will
bring it about in their own time and
their own way, without being affected
one title by all the well-meaning ad-
jurations that may be addressed to
them by private persons OF Senators.
But If that were all II the thing
were only useless, 1t might be pass
ed by with Indifference on the ground
that II is as harmless as useless. Il
Is not harmless; II is exceedingly
dangerous, for, while It can have no
effect, in advancing peace. II rs like
" to destroy the influence OF the
United States both now and when
peace comes TO be made.
They Senators and other inter
mo1dlers) must 5e made to under
stand that they are not merely doing
something useless; that they are
doing something actively dangerous
% the cause OF peace, almost GER
iainly fatal to the power OF the Uni
ted states to aid IT,
'The New York World" said yes
terday In the same vein:
"The World has never been able
10 understand the reason OF the mo-
tive for the resolution. Gerrnany's
reply has already been received. and
It is a studied evasion OF the Presi-
dents request for q statement OF
aims and objects and a definition Of
terms. The reply OF the Allies is
practically prepared and is likely to
be on It's way to Washington before
the Senate has finished wrangling
over the resolution. In no conceiv-
able circumstances, could the Hitch
cock resolution change the dotting
OF an 81" or the crossing OF "t'' in
the answers made by belligerents
and neutrals to the Presidents COM
municatiOn.
"The net result Of the whole pro
ceeding Is to drag the foreign policy
of the government into the mire OF
partisanship and 10 embarrass the
Administration in whatever action Il
may deem necessary to take after the
replies Of the belligerents have been
rceWed. The World can only repeat
what It said yesterday. that the Uni
ted Senate is never so impressive as
when it Is engaged IN minding its
own business"
If It is true that the consideration
OF the Hitchcock resolution could
have no other effect than to embar-
rass the Administration and destroy
the influence Of The United States as
a factor in any peace settlement,
