against ii, but there was chance for
it. My point of view at the time the
feet sailed, was that if the Japanese
attacked it. 1t was certain sign that
they were intending to attack us at the
first favorable opportunity.
II had been doing by best to be po-
lite to the Japanese and had finally
become uncomfortably conscious of
very, very slight undertone of yelled
turbulence in their communications in
connection with things that happened
on the Pacific slope; and finally
made up my mind that they thought l
was afraid of them.
Every particle of trouble with the
Japanese government and the Jap
anese press stopped like magic as soon
as they found that our fleet had actual
ly sailed, and was obviously in good
trim. AS told Won Tirpstz. l thought
it good thing that the Japanese
should know that there were fleets
of the white races which were totally
different from the fleet of poor Rol-
estvensky." Won Tirpitz and William.

the voyage of the fleet as having done

GERMANS DIDN'T CARE
MUCH FOR ROOSEVELT
Published Letter of Former President
Reveal Hostility of Huns for
All Things American

New York, March 3.-An intimate
pen-picture of the former Emperor of
Germany, drawn by Colonel Roosevelt
in letter OF Sir George Otto Trevel-
yam In 1911, which shows him in the
light of an "adorer" of England, ap-
pears in the March number of Serb
ne. S magazine
1t is the concluding portion of
Roosevelts personal 25,0O0-word ac-
count of his travels in Egypt and
Europe following his return from his
memorable African hunting trip.
1 The former President wrote that VIII
liam agreed with him. during the
course Of long interview at Potsdam,
that war between England and Ger
many would be IAN unspeakable cal
amity." The Colonel said that Prince
Henry of Prussia, of whom the then
Kaiser was rather jealous was a
more really powerful and .cold-blooded
man" than the Emperor and that of the
two, he was the more hostile to Eng
! land
Referring to his visit to Berlin, fol-
lowing delightful" receptions in Bel
GUM, Holland, Denmark, Norway, and
Sweden, the Colonel wrote that the
German authorities and people showed
him every courtesy and civility but
that, excepting the university folk,
they really did not want to see me"
America, he said, was very unpopular
in Germany. The upper classes re-
garded democracy, he said, ais ''ir-
regular. unnatural and debasing The
lower classes, on the other hand, were
Socialists who regarded me as an
enemy rather than a friend. The mid
die class looked upon me as a repres-
entative of an America which consisted
of business rivals whose rivalry was ir-
ritat.ng and obnoxious.
An interesting sidelight on Won Tir-
pitt then the Secretary of War, was
afforded by the Colonels reference to
an interview with the man who later
inaugurated the ruthless submarine
warfare Won Tirpitz, he said, was in
tensely interested in the voyage of the
Anne lean battlefield around the world
and he told the former President that
he had not believed 1--WE, could do it
successfully" adding that the British
naval and foreign offices had felt the
same way. He said he expected Jap
an would attack the fleet while it was
on its way round.

the vitizenship of the inhabitant. A
government official told The Associa-
ted Press correspondent that Den
mark would not discriminate in
Sehleswig between Danes and con
verted" Germans; that if the Danes
won the plebiscite, the Germans au-
Dramatically become Danish citizens.
Thus, they would not have to share in
paying Germanys enormous debt.
But there are many Danes who
fear to recover Flensburg If there is
any chance of the contest turning on
a question of the selfish interest Of a
small element OF the electorate. The
government official wore an anxious
look as he discussed this possibility.
I'VE want Flensburg," he said, but
not against its real sentiments. We
must not have in Denmark German
irredenta."

CATARRH DOES HARM
Whether It Is of the Nose, Threat,
or Other Organs, Get Rid of IL.


Catarrh of the nose or throat when
it becomes chronic weakens the deli
cate lung tissues, deranges the diges-
tive organs, and may lead to con-
sumption. 1t impairs the taste, smell
and hearing, and affects the voice. 1t
is a constitutional disease and re-
quires g constitutional remedy.
Take Hoods Sarsaparilla, which
by purifying the blood removes the
cause of the disease and gives per-
manent relief. This Alternative and
tonic medicine has proved entirely
satisfactory to thousands of families
in three generations.
Ii there is biliousness or constipa-
ton, take Hood s Pills,-they are

arrests on the oharge Of drunken

In speaking on the apparent in

"a good deal OF booze Is being

Jamaica ginger is not the worst

police officers were using any more

ever did. but that probably more

places like Philadelphia. and the
drinkers were getting 10. The total

quickly and completely banished every
