Walter Rose this morning received
letter from George Bause of the
New York Conservatory of Musical
Art in which he tells of having at
tended a Broadway theater at which
the Roundup films were being
shown. He states that the audience
fairly shrieked in its enthusiasm and
could hardly believe that men could
do such riding as depicted there. This
letter conveys very much the same
message as the letter received by
J. F. Robinson and which is publish
ed in full in this issue.

COUNT ZEPPELIN

Count Ferdinand Won Zeppelin died
of broken heart, according to the
reports from foreign sources. He
had spent his life perfecting the great
air craft, and his death Followed
quickly after the abandonment Of
raids upon London. This wrote the
end after forty years Of experiment.
ing. No doubt it was a crushing blow
to the venerable inventor to realize
that the Zeppelin could never be a
great factor in any war. One after
another the bulky air ships were
built, only to be dashed to pieces by
the wind, carried out to sea or
wrecked in landing. Of the twenty
five built before the war more than
half have been destroyed, two in the
last raid on London. Many causes
contributed to the. failure of the ma
chine, the greatest being the making
of guns capable of hitting the ship
unless far away 1t could not carry
load sufficient to do great damage
and was unwieldy in operation. No
doubt the raids in Paris and London
produced the greatest damage, not to
those cities, but to the Germans them
selves, by the uniting of the French
and English nations to stand against
their enemy until the end.

CHINA ENTERS THE WAR

Why has China broken with Ger.
many? Ever since the Boxer rebel
lion China has been paying heavy in
IDENTITIES to Germany and under a
new treaty these claims will no doubt
be cancelled. At the time of the be-
bellion this country used the money
obtained, for the good OF the nation
by educating the youth Of the land.
Other countries have reduced or can
celled the obligation 1t has been a
heavy stone about the neck of China
and the new move may bring her
greater freedom. No doubt there has
been some diplomacy on the part of
the allies in bringing this about, all
of which adds to the burdens of the

THE WOLF

The recent killing of a wolf a short
distance east of Baraboo makes the
following item of interest
A newspaper dispatch from Russia
tells of attacks by packs of wolves on
wounded men at the front in Poland.
Thus new terror is added to the
risks of battle. The excessively cold
weather in Europe has probably en-
boldened these savage animals to at
tack men. A curious fact in this con,
nection is that wolves have been ex-
terminated in the United States east
of the Mississippi, while they have
succeeded in holding their own in
many of the far more thickly settled
countries of Europe. Are Americans
better hunters than Europeans, or is
the European breed of wolves more
cunning and courageous than that
which formerly harassed the farmers
Of the eastern states?

COLOMBIA'S CLAIM

This government is preparing to
pay Colombia the neat sum of $685.
100000. What for? Many call it
blackmail If blackmail, then why pay
it? Before the United States paid
$40,000,000 for the French Panama
canal rights, Panama seeded and Co.
lOmbia has never been able to bring
the hayward state under her wing.
If there is something due for rights
acquired in the canal zone, why should
the money be paid to Colombia when
that country has no rights there, I'M
less it be those held through the Sc
coded Panama? Roosevelt always has
been opposed to the payment of the
vast sum. If the president of Colon.
bia had had his way the canal would
not have been built Many think he
is trying to cheat u.s. Often in a law,
suit it is better to settle than to
pay the heavy cost and have an
enemy With Colombia it may be bet
ter to pay the twenty-five million than
to have a hostile nation at our door
even though she be small. AS to
cash there is nothing due Colombia
but this government was most liberal
with China in settling the Boxer re
bellion, most liberal with Cuba after
she was liberated from Spain, and
most liberal with Mexico in the late
unpleasantness Perhaps it is best to
pay Colombia, but the fact neverthe
