Present German Premier
Says Optimism Prevails
Among Rulers.
MUST TAKE INITIATIVE

LONDON, Dec. 17.-According to
Frederick Ebert, present premier of
the German empire, there is no law
provision upon which the former
Emperor would have to be given up.
In an interview yesterday with
members of the press he spoke, in
part, as follows: We cannot create
bread for Germany or the German
people I moptomistic but you
must remember that our influence
upos the course of events is limited.
Our old system came to an abrupt
ending due to Russian conditions. It
is poor consolation however, that in
falling, one drags his enemy to the
ground.
The Westminster Gazette publish
es the following letter written by
Marquis of Crewe, former Secretary
of State for the Colonies:
"the atrocities in Belgium, the i'll
treatment of prisoners and the exc
cutions of Captain Fryatt and Miss
Edith Cavell are acts that can be
brought home to the individual per-
sons concerned, and punishment can
be inflicted by tribunals. Whes, how
ever, we go beyond the sepersons,
responsibility is altered.
"The former German emperor and
tire higher German politicians must
be surrendered first and then pun
ished by executive acts. For this
pocerdure there are most ample pre-
cedents.
ut is important that legal techni-
calities must not be allowed to divert
the hasds of justice, as they well may
do. in field in which there is no ba-
sis of previous law to govern pro-
cedure. Ire responsibility must not
rest with jurists but wit hgovern-
ments."

otic music of both republics, exqui-
sitely rendered; and the menu was
prepared in manner that appealed
to the gastronomic senses of the most
fastidious, as is always tn cease
where such functions are served at
the Escobosa.
Graced by the presence of official
representatives of both nations,
both municipalities, and the CONNER
cial bodies of both cities, the func-

HASB BIG KICK"

Yesterday ther ewas hailed before
U. S. Commissioner w. A. O'Connor,
by Town Marshal Jay Lowe, an old
man over eighty years Of age,
named Benito --, the re-
porter lost his notes and cannot re-
member the last name.
The old fellow was suspected OF
selling liquor to soldiers. So Mar
shall Lowe gave a soldier five dol
lar bill, the number of which he had
noted, and sest him to buy a bottle.
The ruse was successful: the sol
dier returned with the booze. When
arrested and searched the five doll
lar bill was found in. his pocket.
The stuff he sold was home made,
the old fellow concocting it. The
component parts are wood alcohol,
orange peel and sugar; and, as de-.
scribed by Judge O'Connor, ga whiff
of it would drive a skunk out from
a lanyard" The offesder will have
a preliminary today.
1t is developed also that some sol
diers had given him forty dollars
two twenty dollar gold pieces-to
purchase then stock of Christmas
He had "blown in" one gold
piece; but the other was found in his
possession, and returned to the clai-
nant.

The Oldest living Creature.

Among the oldest life forms on the globe is the shellfsh. known as the lingula, specimen of which was talk en from Manila bay several years ago. The genus, according to sci entists, has remained practically unal- tered for more than hundred million years. With the extraordinary changes of climate and environment since the world began most forms of life with which science is familiar have been transformed or have altogether disap- peared since the geologic ages. That the genus lingula," says the Journal of Heredity, should have survived for all these ages, and undergone virtually no change, is striking evidence of the fact that the germ plasm, which under some conditions, as in the case of the horse and the dog. Is capable of extraordi- nary variation, is under other condi- tions remarkably constant"

Origin of Assassin"

The drug hashish or Indian hempr for which Egyptians will pay such a high price, has given us our word, "assassin." These desperadoes form ed originally a secret society in Per sia, relates London Chronicle, in the eleventh century, members of which were under VOW of blind obedience to their chief. They were called upon to perpetrate the most atrocious deeds, and before these ruffians were sent out to perform their grewsome tasks they were given hashish, by which they were thrown into kind of ec- stasy or intoxication. Hence they were called "Hashishin, meaning hemp eaters. The word became part of Western languages, but was changed into "assasSins."
