Germamv Still Tries to Shift Blame

The speech of Chancellor Von Bethmann-Holweg in the Rechsag yesterday is resome reiteration of Germany complete of the charges made against her by the United States result of her submarine warfare His at tempt lay the blame for between the United States and Germany the American government will not alter the situation one iota
 That Germany desire to fight the United States the present time be readily believed for certainly not gonize further powerful neutral nations That she will make any concessions to the United States the conduct of her unrestricted submarine campaign also quite evident Since Germany continue her outrages against the lives and property of Anne cit without bringing it is apparent that while she
 may not desire hosttes the other hand she will not try to avoid them.
 Stating that Germany undertook unrestricted submarine warfare for her defense Dr. Won said: If the American nation considers this for which to declare against the German nation with which it has lived increase of boodsed shall not have bear the burden of responsibility for it.''
 The German people will certainly have to bear the burden of responsibility because the strained relations between the United States and Germany not due merely to the fact that Germany conducting submarine against her enemies but result from the killing of American citizens the high and the sinking of American ships What Germany does to Great Britain of os but what she does and has done, to Americans calls for strict accounting.
 That the unrestricted of the submarine has failed to accomplish what ntendedhe breaking of the British bockades acknowledged by the chancellor but that the affair of the United States We have borne many from the German government for which satisfaction been given and destined to suffer many unless stand up firmly for rights.

THE BRAVE AT HOME

By Thomas Buchanan Read. The maid who binds her warriors
 sash
 With smile that well her pain dis
 sembles. The while beneath her dropping lash One stormy tear drop hangs and
 trembles. Though heaven alone records the tear, And fame never know her story. Her heart has shed drcp as dear As e'er bedewed the field of glory. The wife who girds her husbands
 sword
 Mid little ones who weep or wonder, And bravely speaks the cheery word. What though her heart be rent
 asunder Doomed nightly in her dreams to hear The bolts of death around him rattle, Has shed as sacred blood as e'er Was poured upon the field of battle. The mother who conceals her grief While to her breast her son she
 presses. Then breathes few brave words and
 brief.
 Kisses the patriot brow she blesses, With no one but her secret God To know the pain that weighs upon
 her. s Sheds holy blood as e'er the sod Received on freedoms field of honor.

LUKE M'LUKE SAYS

When woman starts on a trip she can have a good time worrying over
 how terrible it would have been had
 she forgotten to bring something that
 she didn't forget to bring.
 After single girl passes 30 she fades
 faster than a married woman of the same
 age.
 The big objection we have to the man
 who is always bragging about his own
 achievements is that he isn't bragging about ours A woman gets so everlastingly tired of
 washing dishes that she is often tempted to set the table with the dirty ones from the last meal. It takes mighty hungry man to eat heartily when a pretty girl is watching every mouthful he takes. It doesn't matter how homely a man may be. If he is good to a woman he will look handsome to her. It is mighty good thing for the pho- tographers that we can't see ourselves as others see us. The reason why girl who has nothing on but teddy bear and yard of serge can keep warm in cold weather is because she Is wearing & new pair of jet ear rings.

Novel Scheme Succeeds

"T have found one way to get the best of the kids in my neighborhood," :" said D. A. Oden yesterday. Every body around our place who planted any flowers would have them torn down by the mischievous children. When l went to set out some young trees, ev- erybody told me it wouldn't do any good because the children would have them pulled up almost before I got them planted.
 But I reasoned better. had only ordered four trees. and there were six children in the neighborhood We'll I went ahead and ordered two more trees And when they came, I planted them and presented each one of the children with one for his very own. And do you think they would pull them up now? Well. not hardly. They're just as proud of them as they can be, and they won't let anybody else get within 10 feet of the trees that belong to them"

young mans ability and industry. The newcomer meanwhile had concluded that Huntington personally and his Southern Pacific and Central Pacific railroads were we'll worthy of continued financial and moral support-and likely to prove profit able The two men became close friends and co-workers. Millions of dollars were brought by the Speyers not only from Germany, but from their Amsterdam and London affiliations, to be poured into the Huntington properties to put them on solid financial footing and to meet their indebtedness to the government in full. a piece of financing that was regarded az remarkable at that time. Union Pacific was then apparently trying to compro- mise it's debt to the United States gov
 ernment, but the Speyers and c. P. Hunt ington were determined that Central Pa cific should pay in full. President Mo- Kinley had been placed by Congress at the head of commission to settle these railroad debts, and Speyer assured him that the Central Pacific would arrange T full settlement. So many threads had to be taken up in America and Europe that the agreement, which had to get the formal signature of the President by a certain date was not ready until the last moment MT. Speyer, the instant everything was finished, started for Washington with the papers-he was talk ing no chances of a slip-up. A snow storm burst with great fury while he was on the way and his train was stalled for what seemed to him an eternity.

 born, in New York city. He was edu- 5 cated in Frankfort and thereafter re- ceived thorough training in interna- tional banking in both London and Paris as well as in the historic banking house of the Speyer family in his ancestral town When 23 he set sail for America, joined Speyer & Co. in New York and soon became it's head.
 He brought his nerve with him. At first New York's heavyweight financiers took little or no note of the beardless youth. They regarded him merely as a rich mans son, under no necessity to work to add to his fortune, and unacquainted with the intricacies of American finances. The principal figures then in the financial limelight were J. F.. Morgan and Jay Gould, with James J. Hill and Collis P. Huntington, the great railroad builders, forging toward the front, although the latter had no general financial backing.
 Jay Gould was astonished one morning by visit from one who looked mere boy. The visitor, however, had pains takingly drawn up plan for the reor- ganization of the St. Louis and South western, then in trouble. Jay Gould con- trolled the junior securities, but Speyer &, Co. had been selected as members of a committee to protect the first mortgage bonds held in Germany. The doughty veteran had more respect for his youthful visitor before the interview was over. To make a long story short, Speyer's plan was taken up and finally adopted-the terms, incidentally, being entirely .satis- factory to the young bankers clients.

From the Philadelphia Public Ledger. 7 TOW many who read that Charles B..
 |HI Ward is dead will recognize in the S S name that of an American lyric poet of rare gifts? Much that he wrote may be justly forgotten. But is not thls true of other poets? Genius is not reck- oned in terms of quantity; one song may confer immortality. In later life MT. Ward deserted the muse for vaudeville and the contributions to literature by which he is best known date back score of years or so. Born in London little more than 50 years ago, he first became known to fame as the original Bowery thoroughfare many songs afterward pop ular on Broadway had their birth, and he did much to transplant them to the new soil. Thus they inspired his own work 1t was in "The Band Played On' that he reached the heights of achieve |ment Why Is 1t no longer sung? The adventures of Casey as a dancer are surely as worthy of remembrance as those of Clarence McF'adyen, whose efforts were unfortunate because This feet wasn't gaited that way" Casey's feet had no defect of that kind only his head was at fault
 "Casey would waltz with strawberry blonde,
 And the band played on; He'd glide OCT the floor with the girl he adored,
 ! And the band played on; His brain was so loaded, he nearly ex- ploded,
 And the poor girl would shake with alarm;
 He'd ne'er leave the girl, with the straw berry curl,
 | And the band played on.'' ! Milton's definition of poetry as "sim- pie, sensuous, passionate,' is completely l illustrated here. It is strange that crit
 icism should have overlooked the illustra-
 ton so generally. We need not inquire
 too curiously into the nature of the ! strawberry blonde. The usually accepted 1 opinion is that she has golden hair with
 a glint of red. Yet there are authorities
 who hold that her hair must be a deeper
 red to justify the epithet. Others still
 contend that the true strawberry color ! Is a chemical product, and prefer the lname peroxide blonde. Perhaps MT. Her. kimer Johnson has devoted d chapter
 to the subject in his forthcoming work Man as a Social and Political Beast T
 It is not known that MT. Ward ever ex-
 pressed his views as to the precise ap.
 pearance of the girl Casey danced with Doubtless he had picture of her in his
 own mind. Judging by the effect or
