THE SINKING OF THE ST. PAUL.

The sinking of the American line
steamship st. Paul could scarcely have
taken place under more fortunate cir
cumstances than surrounded the mishap
in an American port on Thursday. And
if the sinking of the ship was the result
OF hostile Vaccination there is satisfae-
ton in knowing that about the least re-
suits were obtained A few lives of
workmen were lost--three probably-and
that is very much to be regretted; and
the delay in the shipping of troops and
supplies across the ocean is one OF the
unpleasant features. But the ship lies in
q location where it ought to be possible
to raise her easily and prepare her for
the delayed trip with men and NUM-
tions, necessitating considerable ex
pense, to be sure, but relatively slight.
Had the influences which caused the ship
to overturn and sink come to bear at a
time when the vessel was loaded to its
limit with American soldiers and costly
freight and was far out at sea the mere
mishap of the present would have been
turned into calamity. Hence there is
reason for viewing the results with re-

clares Germany "Washes Her

PARIS, December oJ-"All bel
liserents have accepted President
Wilson's fourteen points. and the only
question to be discussed is their in
terpretation," said Count Won Bern
Storff, former German ambassador to
the United States, in giving his
opinion of what Germany's attitude
would be at the peace conference, ac-
cording to the Geneva correspondent
of the Matin.
Germany" declared the count
"will keep to the Presidents pro-
gram. which grants each people of
an ethical group the right to dispose
of itSeif."
Asked if he thought the Presidents
program would furnish the basis for
"a lasting peace. Count Won Bernstorf
shrugged his shoulders.
This is the only one which can be
proposed at present" he added. land
the attempt must be made to apply it.
At any rate, we shall support it"
When he vas asked by the cor
respondent what attitude Germany
would adopt toward the east, he re-
piled:
"All the questions concerning the
new states which have sprung up on
the Russian frontier are the affairs
of the allies. Let them dISentangle
things as best they can. We wash
our hands of Russia. We are con-
tent to safeguard as far as possible
the integrity of our territory. con-
sulting at the same time the will of
the populations"
Asked about the white book which
Carl KautSky is said to be prepar-
ing in Berlin, Count Won Bernstorf
said:
Il don't think the book will reveal
the individual responsibilities of the
