FAIL TO GERMANIzE HOLLAND
Dutch Character Has Successfully Re-
sisted All Efforts Made by Its
Powerful Nelohbor.

That Germany covets Holland Is no
diplomatic or other secret. Everybody
knows 1t. Considering the Dutch char
acter and pride In national %independ-
ence which they have manifested yer
since the Dutch language assumed final
shape as evidence of distinct national
ity, 1t has seemed best to the Hohen-
zollerns to proceed by peaceful means.
among while zone Is more patent than
intermarriage among influential fam
lilies. And especially there is desired
marriages OF German princes and
princesses into the House of Orange,
which for some centuries, either as
Stockholders or kings, has been the gov
erning head of the Dutch state.
There has been great success In Sc
curing German marriages. The mother
of Queen Wilhelmina was a German
princess and her husband Is a German
prince.
But, while there has been success in
securing German husbands or wives
for the House of Orange. the assimila.
ton has been from. German into Dutch
and not from Dutch into German. We
recall no German prince or princess
who has married into the House Of
Orange who has not turned out to be
as loyal a Dutchman or Dutchwoman
as the most ardent Hollander could de-
sire. observes the San Francisco Chron-
icle.
The fact is that the sturdy Dutch
character persists from generation to
generation and forms one of the most
distinctive types OF the human species.
This is not because the German rulers
have not constantly tried to mold II
over, but because they have failed to
do so.
And -. the modern Germans are
impatient that they have dallied SO
long with peaceful means and are for
taking by force what they cannot &c,
otherwise.

Another "Scrap Of Paper"

Twenty-seven years ago settlers at
Olympia, Wash, made a treaty with
the Indians allowing them to fish any
where and at any time, says Commerce
and Finance. Now the state game
laws prohibit them from the sport dur
ing the closed season.
Saluskin, big chief Of the Yakimas,
with a number Of other Indians. after
protesting In vain to the local game
wardens, went to the city to protest
against the violation Of their rights.
Imagine a chieftain, 90 years old.
straight as an arrow, yet half blind
and enfeebled, entering a court room
In a modern city. This man had seen
the victory Of civilization in its strug-
gle against the wilderness. He had
seen his race pass control Of the land
to the white race. Still believing In
the honor of the white man, he came
TO protest against the infringement OF
a treaty made a quarter Of a century
before.
Saluskin was Informed by an inter-
prefer that the district attorney could
not change the state game laws.

TEDDY" FAILED TO MAKE HIT
Roosevelt Tells Of Amusing Experience
Of His Youthful Days In the
Cattle Country.

In the oldtime cattle country and In

MYSTERY HovERs OVER LAKE
Body Of Water In Central Africa Has
Most Curious Effect on Minds
OF Travellers.

Cold and gray are the waters which
Lake Tchad spreads over the lowlands
Of central Africa. The traveller In
Africa finds the mystery of the dark
continent more haunting and unfatR-
ENABLE here than in the battling mazes
of the jungle or In the silent smile Of
the sphinx. Heavy winds toss the
shallow waters about and whisper their
secrets through the reeds. But the
lake makes no answering condolences.
1t stretches on and on. measuring Its
miles Of surface In sweeping wave
lengths.
AS far as the eye can see ahead are
the reeds and rushes reaching up
through the water in tangled masses.
Here and there the line of the gray ex-
panse Is broken by slender islands
bearing up a few Handicapped native
huts, outlined dimly against the sky
line. The effect is that Of a painting
seen through gray glasses, reducing
the whole to a low key. 1t is in the
grayness that the lakes effect of mys-
terry lies, the grayness that hovers
dull and cherries W. waving reeds.
The traveller gazing across Lake
Tchad for the first time feels the thrill
Of discovery. The knowledge that he
is not the first to stand upon the banks
does not dlspel the feeling of entering
the most shut-of place in central
Africa.

Can't Even Have "Near-s Beer"

Germany's brewers hoped this year
TO produce a beer substitute that
should really resemble beer, but the
Prussian minister Of finance has IS
sued a decree that puts an end to the
dream of the foaming stein.
A new process has been patented
by which near-beer was TO be made
from beetroot. hops. yeast and wa
ter. Many breweries had already In
stalled machinery required under the
patent.
The minister Of finance has decided
that the sugar Of the beetroot, upon
which the substitute depends for alco-
hol. cannot be spared for beer. Beets.
he says. are badly needed for manufac-
ture of sugar. dilution of jam and max

Learn to Get Along Without Sugar

1t has been done before. A hundred years age re-
fined sugar was unknown. Our ancestors used honey and
you can use honey also. Besides there are syrups. The
natural sugars of fruits will serve today as they did GEN.
turies ago. You will get all the sugar you need in this
way. The Allies dc it now. England, which before the
war used more sugar than we did, has but two pounds
per head a month now; France one and a half pounds,
and Italy only one. Show yourself a patriotic American
and use less than your ration. This is but a slight sacri-
flee as compared with all that the Allies are doing. Do it
Yourself.
