According to many well verified re-
ports from the front, the Hun soldlef
has no military honor. When hard
pressed in single ccmlat he shouts
"Kamerad." which is the German
yutteial for II surrender" But. when
the soldier lowers his gun to receive
the surrender of arms. the Hun Shoots
him. Consequently. the cry OF "h;hl-
Grad" is not heard as often as hereto
fore. There is an old saying that the
only good Indian is a dead one. This
is not true as there were many Sood
Indians. But the saying may lie ap
piled to the German army, without eX-

The Banner has on file printed
copy of a speech delivered by Judge
Watkins in the National House of Rep
resentativcs on April 9TH OF last year
in which he strongly urged the imme-
date passage of pending joint re>o-
luton declaring the existence or
state of war between the United States
and Germany. This document is con-
elusive proof of his position In favor
of the war. and should set at rest the
uns,lpported statements to the con-
trary by his political enemies.

How China WIII Benefit.

The nations interested in the Boxer indemnity who are at war with Ger many and Austria have, with the ex- ceptiOn of Russia, agreed to the post ponement of the amount due by China for period of i've years. Russia has agreed to remit One-third of the amount due to her. China thus gains the use of $1O0,OOO,OOO for five years, and has the hope that the total amount may be remitted by and by. Whether the pOstpOnement will be an actual gain at this time Is questionable. since exchange Is so tremendously in China's favor. A more distinct gain, per haps, Is the agreement of the allied powers to permit China to raise her customs dues to an effective five per cent AS the present schedule of du- ties was compiled on the basis of prices ruling in 1902 in so far as i'm ports are concerned and in 1858 in the case of exports the present revenues should be almost doubled.-Far East eVn Review.

Some of the scarlet snow was melted In a vessel and the water evaporated. when 6 fine, rose cOIOred earthly sediment was found at the bottom. Snow of a brick red hue fell in Italy in 1816 and in the TyrOl in 1S47.

We are continually receiving com- plaints that The Press does not reach subscribers until a number of days or a week after publication. Every copy of The Press is mailed on Thurs day afternoon and the poor mail ser vice after they leave this town is de- plorable and we are losing subscribers on this account. The following is from the Springfield Republican : First Assistant Postmaster General Rooms has some ground for saying that the report on slow mail delivery compiled by the merchants association of New York gave an unfair impression of the defects of the service. and it is surprising that those responsible for the investigation should not have conducted it SO that it's results oould not be assailetl. But when the first assistant postmaster general tries to excuse the deterioration in service on the ground that it is due to war demands he states considerably less than half the case. The deterioration began a year before this country got into the war.
