BERLIN, January 16.-The farther

ley the more stubborn the Germans
grow in their determination to regard
the treaty of Versailles as a scrap of
paper. Unoccupied Germany will do
nothing to carry out the provisions
of the treaty, although the occupied
territory cannot help yielding to the
onets and machine guns.
Even If the French keep on march

the Ruhr basin but the whole of the

people had heard Franz Liszt and
Rubinstein and spoke OF them with
awe.
In the late '90s there was an in.
crease in great pianists, and each sue.
cessive visitor was the greatest. They
did not play at Carusi's Assembly
Rooms. nor at Marini's, nor even at
Lincoln Hall. but at the old National
Metzarott's Music Hall. the Univer-
salist Church and the Congregational
Church. About the beginning of the
twentieth century pianists with hard.
strange names became so numerous
that only specially endowed persons
could keep track of them.

the old order and not a mushroom

Mobs and the Klan.

More mob fighting against the ku
KluX klan is reported. The other night
at Perth Amboy, y. j., a crowd broke
up a klan meeting and fought for a
couple of hours with the klansmen
and the police, with numerous casual
ties. Later similar happening oc
CURED at New Castle, Del, and many
We're hurt. Thus there have been three
Of these disorders within week,
counting that at Carnegie. Pa, where
one man was killed.
1t is inevitable that the methods of
the hooded society should breed these
encounters. There is an intense feel
and religious factioniSm. against Sc
cret processes Of irregular law cn.
forcement. The klan is self.appoint-
cd regulatory body, working without
charter or direction from any public
authority, masking its members from
identification, meeting in public with
ritualistic forms that are calculated to
terrify the ignorant and impress even
the intelligent beholder. 1t does not
acknowledge the law as supreme, for
in al least two instances, in New York
and in Michigan. it has flouted
statutes by, in the first case, refusing
to conform to the registration law.
and in the second by a defiant meeting
in masks. despite a recent enactment
of the commonwealth.
The antagonism manifested against
the klan in these recent disorders
does not arise entirely from the feel
ings of the races and religious bodies
denounced by the Klan as hostile to
the best principles Of Americanism.
There were doubtless many in the
mobs at Carnegie and Perth Amboy
and New Castle who were not of those
orders or groups. but who were plain
Americans, indignant at the demon
stration of anti-law organization.
One of the fundamental factors of
the opposition TO the Klan, culminat
ing in these outbreaks. is the antipathy
to secrecy. If the Khan would unmask
it would disarm this opposition. 1t
would weaken itself in respect to its
mystery and the power that is sup
posed to be derived therefron.. But 1t
would gain in the respect of the pub
lie if then it proceeded in orderly man.
ner to work for the enforcement of
law. for the speeding of the processes
of justice, for purity in public and pri-
vate life and for the maintenance of
the highest principles Of the American
republic. Upon such d platform it
could well afford. to stand forth. each
member known and identified, and it
would be a tremendous factor for the
betterment of conditions. At present
it challenges the law-abiding citizen
by its resort to mummery and mys-
terry, which give cloak to tyranny.

Girls Training School.

Another District institution goes
into Maryland to find an appropriate
site. 1t is the National Training School
for Girls, and q tract of 100 acres has
been bought in Prince Georges county
between Ammendale and Muirkirk.
The school is now just off the Conduit
road at the District line. where white
and colored girls are accommodated.
The board Of trustees thought it de-
sirable to change this situation, and
Congress appropriated $62,0 for the
establishment of n training school for
the white girls. The white and colored
institutions will both be benefited by
the new arrangement.
One often gets a reminder that the
District of Columbia is growing small.
That Is, its population is increasing
and land values are going up, SO that
it becomes more difficult year by year
to find a site for a public institution
which properly should have a goodly
bit of land. Various of our public in.
stitutions have in late years been
forced to find homes in Virginia or
Maryland.
The news of the purchase OF the
tract for the Girls Training School
says that it is between Ammendale
and Muirkirk, which is not specific
description, but will do. 1t is certain
that the trustees have chosen a fine
site. Along the line of the Baltimore
and Ohio railroad and the Washing.

The Greatest Pianist.

Vladimir de Pachmann, on arriving
at New York, was quoted by reporters
as saying, Il am the great player, the
greatest player. Nothing more superb
than what I play. 1t is marvellous. 1t
is finished. the perfect thing" 1t may
be true, and it is a sure thing that
Vladimir believes it. People will re-
spect his frankness, though some who
are cynical will smile.
Many an artist has thought the
same thing about himself, but few
have had the dauntless naivete to say
the greatest, and many an actor that
he is the greatest. Many a statesman
knows that he Is greatest in his line,
and many another man believes that
he is superlative in his chosen work;
but many affect a modesty even
though the modesty be thinly veiled.
There seem to be many greatest pian-
lists, and we are assailed by them
every season.
Travelling soloists on the big percus-
sion instrument could once be counted
on the fingers, and well informed
man could name them. 1t is impossi-

are SO difficult, but because Of their

him the great Thalberg. He was IA
