HF&gSHN surrender Oh Inc yer
H9AlD man fleet is seen as the
most ignominious exit for a pre-
tentious navy recorded in all mod
ern history" is the view of William
Stearns Davis, professor of history
in the University of Minnesota and
recognized as one of the leading
authorities in his subject-especi
ally as he has kept in close touch
with development of events in the
great war.
Mr.. Davis said yesterday, as he
called attention to the significance
of the German surrender:
As we rejoice over the end of
the war, trust it is not escaping
rs that the end of German sea-
power, eliminating in the surren-
der of the battlefield, is not mere
ly token of complete defeat; it is
the most ignominious exit for a
pretentious navy recorded in all
modern history.
In 1914, as everybody is aware,
the Germans were frantically add
ing ship upon ship to a feet which
they were, in their more cOnfden.
tial moods, ready to boast to for
eign visitors as almost if not quite
a match for the British and all
will also recall the present w.
Hohenzollern's one-time title of
the admiral of the Atlantic. Today
that naval power has vanished as
completely as the galleys of Tyre
and Carthage, and the manner of
its disappearance will, l am conf
dent, stand ever as black page in
history, to be thrown against the
German nation however much in
later days it may democratize its
government and repent of it's sins.
sit is not that the German navy
was worsted and forced to surren-
der. Other navies have been worst
ed, and seen their colors go down.
Their captains and men have
fought worthily, and have had
nothing to regret but the issue.
The Spaniards were worsted in
1888. They lost their ships, but
they never lost their honor. The
French were worsted repeatedly
by the English, but all seamen still
reverence the name of the Orient
which. in the battle of the Nile,
fought till she burned and blew up.
The Dutch, English, yes, and
Americans have lost naval battles
but they have not left sting of
shame behind them.
1T is reported that the German
crews refused to take their ships to
sea when ordered because the odds
seemed too great. Probably they
were, although naval men will very
likely say that there would have
been bare chance for at least the
German battle cruisers to have
broken through the blockading
Gordon, and to have wrought great
havoc with the transports from
America before they could have
been chased down in mid-Atlantic.
Their foes will probably also tell
them the story of Sir Richard
Grenville with the Revenge who
fought one ship against So Span
iards, because the honor of an
English captain would not let him
fly from the foe.
Spanish, French, Dutch, Dam
ish, Russian, Japanese, British and
American naval crews have sailed
out against hopeless odds, and
fought and gone down gamely-
because that is the way with every
race so far that has madea honest
bid for the mastery of the sea.
But such was evidently not the way
with the men whose preceptor was
Won Tirpitz and whose master was
the kaiser.

merely a storehouse of oil and
corn. Lovers of pictorial art and
of architecture seldom have felt
it worth their while TO venture in
to that country, where, however,
are rich possessions that await a
more careful study on the part of
Western students, writes a cores
pondent of the London Times, and
he tells us further that all who
know the country have been filed
with anxiety lest the Germans
should injure or destroy the great
church of Curtea de Argos, ''one
of the most imposing churches in
Europe, successfully restored to
somewhat of its early magnifcence
by the late King"
Apart from the distinction of its
architectural monuments, t b e
Times correspondent reminds us of
the pictures of high Importance in
the palace of Sinaia and in the mu-
scum at Bucharest. King Carol
had an opportunity in his youthful
days to purchase entire collections
of pictures in Paris, and some that
he bought in London from a Span
ish collection are so important
that
1t is really necessary for the
student of Spanish art to 60 to
Roumania to see many of the finer
examples of the painters of that
country. The collection is especi-
ally notable for the fact that it con-
tains nine paintings by that re-
markable artist Ell Greco, the chief
being his portrait of Diego Covar-
ruvias.
All the great Spanish masters
are, however, we'll represented.
There are two, if not three, works
by Velasquez, one a splendid por-
trait of Cardinal CALI. There are
three by Zurbaran. There is a
wonderful 'Flagellation. by Alfonso
Cano, and there are paintings by
Murillo, Valdes Leal. Luis Tristan,
Antonio del Rincon, Alfonso Coello,
and others, The Kings collection
is, however, by no means exclu-
sively of Spanish pictures. The
Italian masters are also represented.
There is even a work attributed,
and not without some reason, to
Squarcione, whose paintings are of
such extraordinary rarity. There
is one probably by Botticelli, a
very important work by Mantegna,
two fine groups by Signorelli, a
delightful Virgin and Child by
Antonello da Messina, a wonderful
Holy Family by Luini, and fine
paintings by Francia, Correggio,
and Tiepolo, with two attributed,
on quite sound foundations. to Ii
tian, and more than one bearing
the high-sounding names of Tin
toretto, Paolo Veronese. and Palma
Vecchio.
I'm the German school Cranch
and Aldegrever find good repre-
sentatives; there is at least one
work by Rembrandt, and at least
one by Rubens, portrait that may
we'll be given to Clouet, and ten
panels, forming the decoration OF
q boudoir, which undoubtedly came
from the hands of Lancret.
''The late King had an excellent
catalog of his pictures prepared in
sumptuous form, and a similar
volume describes the contents and
the decoration of his beautiful
palace at Sinaia, while of the great
church at Curtes de Arges he in

The Jury Cases Drawing to an End

The Jury Cases Drawing to an End
With only three jury cases in the
county court it looks as if the jury
calendar was finished and the rest
of the term will be taken up by
court cases and other matters.
In the case of A E. COUNSEL &
Son VS.. E. G. Foss of Morrisville the
plaintiff brought suit to recover for
an engine delivered the defendant.
The latter ordered saw rig and
engine on 10 days trial He tried
the saw rig and returned it, claiming
that he did not want it. He never
returned the engine and the plaintiff
claimed that Mr. Foss used the engine
more than the time agreed upon.
The plaintiff was represented by Por-
ter, Writer'S & Harvey and the de-
PENDANT by NJ. P. Maurice of Morris
vile, assisted by David S. Conant.
The jury awarded a verdict of S270
for the plaintiff.
The case now on trial is that of
Hollis Way and Ada Way VS.. Asa
Fellows. This is a Danville case
where the plaintiffs claim that a
sewer and water pipes of the de
PENDANT have damaged the property
of the plaintiff.
