 Naturally, Mir. Grogan has no fears regarding the outcome of his trial for murder.

He is leading life of ease-almost, one might say, life of luxury.

AN INGLORIOUS END

From the New York Herald.
 While William Hohenzollern is a trem- bling fugitive in Holland, with the up- ward curl taken out of his meustaches, a growing beard and limited wardrobe which includes no uniforms, former Ad- miral Von Tirpitz is a refugee in Switzer- land, with his whskers severely trimmed and a greatly restricted exchequer The fleet which he was largely instrumental bors. and is very likely to be sent to the bottom of the sea on which William Hohenzollern boasted that his future do- minon lay. More than 200 of the subma- rines with which Tirpitz thought to win victory for his country by means of a system of unrestricted murder and piracy are also lying beneath the waves, and the rest are surrendered or destroyed.
 There are now none so lowly in Ger many as to do honor to the former grand in reputation, with the prospect>of being brought to account with his former royal master for a series of atrocious crimes he is dependent on the hospitality of a Swiss general, while his son is earning a living as bank clerk and his daughter as a governess. Surely the hand of aveng- ing fate may be recognized in the pres ent condition of the man who four years ago promised Germany to bring proud Britain to her knees, and who two years later persuaded his government into a policy of ndiscrimlnate murder and an insolent dis egard for the rights of neu- tral nations. It was Tirpitz who brought the United States into the war, and thus forever settled the fate of Germany, now fallen from the condition of first class power to that of congeries of states, without cohesion and shorn of all mili- tary strength.

FROM NAZARETH

! From the Cleveland Plain Dealer. After Franz Von Papen was kicked out l, of the United States he was sent to the near east to help the Turks. When Gen eral Allenby swept north through Pales- tine the Turks had to get out in a great hurry and Papen went with them. He i happened to be at Nazareth when the rapid movement was necessitated and he
 did not have time thoroughly to pack
 his belongings. In the city where Jesus worked as carpenter General Allenby found quite bit of Papen's personal property, including papers that the Ger
 man deemed of sufficient importance to carry with him even to this remote region. The papers found at Nazareth and now made public by the British government prove beyond doubt that Bernstorff the
 master of Papen and the ambassador of Hohenzollern Germany, was guilty of widespread plotting against the laws and against the peace of the Ohlteo
 He was encouraging disloyaity' ing rebellions in friendly states, arrang 
 ing dynamtings, and generally doing just
 what nearly everyone toward the end believed he was doing. Bernstorff cov
 cred his tracks rather well, and since
 his return to Germany has posed as
 somewhat of a friend of the United
 States. On the basis of this reputation he was even suggested as a member of Germany's peace delegation. The mere suggestion aroused a storm of protest
 and now the Nazareth discoveries have put a final quietus on the sly Prussian
 The world war has made the world seem much smaller than it seemed five years ago. The smallness is emphasized when there is discovered at Nazareth proof of German crimes committed in the American republic.

BIRMINGHAM AS LAW GIvER

From the Montgomery Advertiser.
 Even Birmingham will consider Mont
 gomery's interest in the most recent Of Birminghams "crime waves" pardonable Montgomery interest in Birmingham s
 state of cirtue is understandable when 1t is realized that not only has Birming- ham been the source of moral legisla- in the past it has evolved specific laws for the governing of an unregenerate city such as Montgomery. which con tumaciousy refused to vote the prohibit ton ticket.
 Since moral legislation became in Ala
 bama so much of a political issue-say for the past 12 years-Birmingham has been the central temple from which the deerees, ordering the conduct of the peo- ple of Alabama, have been promulgated True enough Birmingham has by no
 means consistently supported the party
 of moral mandates. but win or lose the
 guardians of the conscience of the peo- pie came from Birmingham.
 Now a crime wave in Birmingham is
 no new thing; they have recurred regu- larly and almost at even distributed in- tervals. Of course Bad Birmingham has repeatedly sought the mourner's bench.
 and gained dissolution by voting the pro-
 hibtion ticket-an act which is supposed to wash all sins away. But what rasped Montgomery. the city of order, of re- straint and of obedience to the laws, was to have representatives of stormy
 and violent Birmingham trying to evan tgelize one of the best behaved commu-
 mites in Alabama.
 Birmingham, let us hasten to say, be- fore we are misunderstood, is no city of
 vice and wholesale law violation It is neither better nor worse than the aver age American city of it's size with a
 large industrial population. Montgomery is not concerned over the state of Bir- mingham's morals; Montgomery merely suggests the fount from which the mora.
 laws are issued should De kept pure We are disposed, in this orderly and Ilaw-abidfAg city, to challenge the divine right of the Birmingham prophet, when he comes down from Red mountain with
 a new set of moral and political decrees for the salvation of Montgomery's soul
 We do not have "a score or more rob- berries in six weeks. holdup every night and the large buildings in Mont gomery have not as yet been given over to huge moonshine stills. It is bit dis quieting to read of events in the city which has done so much to regulate the morals of other cities of the state.

Governors and Mayors Attending Conference

i MANY governors and mayors
 SV0 have already reached Wash
 ington in response to an invitation to
 attend conference to be held at the
 White House, called by Secretary of
 Labor Wilson, and other state and city executives will arrive today. l State and municipal officials will be urged to cooperate and do everything possible to avoid unemployment. The federal government will-lend a help 1 ing hand, and it is believed that by united effort a programme can be worked out that will lead toward the stabilization of labor.
 | Twenty-one governors will attend the conference in person and twenty four will send representatives. One hundred and eleven mayors will be in attendance and many more will be represented by proxy.
 President Wilson will deliver the Iopening address. By an exchange of views between the accredited leaders
 of states and cities regarding the in-
 dustrial and commercial situation
 practical good is expected to result
 At any rate the object of the confer
 ence is on the right line.

THE STENCIL AT OUR DOOR

almost at a standstill. little export staples s the war has made in great demand-sugar, for instance. High prices make 1t possible to produce sugar in spite of the confiscatory taxes levied by the government and the ex- tortion of the bandits. But I doubt 25 per cent of normal. Coffee produc. ton has fallen off at least 80 per cent. Mining is being continued where 1a-
 bor can be had. This. however, is only in favored localities. Banditry is more attractive and more profitable. What labor there is to be had is so strongly socialized that it is of little use. En- ployers are no longer permitted to dis charge employees for inefficiency. Dis. charges can only be made by com-, mittee of the laborers themselves.
 In attempting to state conditions in Mexico I hesitate to tell the whole truth because it will be difficult for my fellow Americans to believe t.
 Picture, if you can, a state of society where man with any money, or with
 the reputation of having any, dare not
 venture out of the town where he Hives, even by day, for fear of being captured and held for ransom of
 country where no woman is safe of a country where the banks have been
 footed to the last peso; of a country
 where the peons do not till their
 farms because they know to cer-
 tainty that they will be plundered of
 the fruits of their toil; of country
 where no one can trust anyone else,
 because everywhere are spies and in-
 formers intent upon trumping up
 charges on which confiscation and ex-
 ecution may be based. A land, in short.
 where the shadow of fear and despair
 hangs heavy over every man, woman
 and child. That is Mexico of today
 Moral conditions are fully as bad
 as political and economic ones. schools
 there are none. Religion is suppressed
 by force I know of cities of 3o,o00
 inhabitants where only one. church is
 allowed to be used for religious pur-
 poses; the others are maintained os-
 tensibly as club rooms for patriots.
 or used as stables and barracks. There
 is no room for doubt as to the hostility
 of the government and the revolution
 ists alike to the church.

GOV. ALLEN SPINS YARN

PALESTINE A LAND OF BIRDS

From the Fl Paso Times.
 Swarms of European birds, visit Palestine in winter and many breed there. The cranes, as in Dante's fiiic picture still pass in winter trailing and in the spring the voice of the tur- tie dove is heard in the land.
 The Holy Land is appropriately q stronghold for the pigeon family. Tur- tie doves are found, the wood pigeon comes in myriads in winter. and tha scripture. is still abundant. both wild and tame, throughout the country. As a contrast to these, every raven after his kind,'' the crow tribe is in abun- dance. and birds of prey, from the great griffon vulture, the eagle of scrip ture of the country.
 In the deep. tropical Jordan valley we find sort of aviary of real tropical birds which found there refuge from the last glacial epoch-the lovely littlo sunhjrd, or "Jerico humming bird" the Ianu-Ieeulng, Wnlte-preaSteu klnE- fisher and species of gregariotis thrush
 On the coast is found the great h. dian fishing owl, and among the rocks of Marsaba the monks have half-tamed the orange-winged blackbird, which is really a starling of African type, as much out of his latitude as the hyrax. one of the birds peculiar to Palestine, the pretty little pigmy Moabite spar row. which lives in reed beds and is one of the rarest birds in the world.

THE GRAND YOUNG MAN
From the New York Times.

From the New York Times.
 Mr. Clemenceau was severely wounded by a half-baked assassin on February l9. on February 26, Mir. Clemenceau was taking a drive in Paris, to the great joy and surprise of his fellow-cltizens. Any statesman of ordinary age and constitu- prsoned by his doctors for weeks. MT Clemenceau, who is only IS, chaffed his doctors and his nurses, saw on one day 40 visitors. monstrous grist even for a well man, behaved throughout like the urtamable, inexhaustible. vital and via- ble and witty power and parsonage he is None but himself can be his paral- lel."
