OBSTINATE GERMANY.

A lively exchange of messages
between the German Embassy in
Washington and the Foreign
Office in Berlin is reported to be
in order following the lamenta-
BILE incident when the flag of the
Embassy was not placed at half
mast until the matter became
subject of sharp public criticism.
Berlin, it appears is blaming
the Ambassador for using bad
Judgment and the Ambassador is
blaming the Foreign Office for
failing to give him proper in
structions. 1t seems that while
Mr.. Wilson's death was pending
ne wired Berlin asking what he
should do and they wired back
that he was to use his own dis
erection.
At any rate, the Ambassador
exemplified bad judgment, some
thing Ambassadors are paid 20
avoid. In the omission of his
duty, which, at any rate, would
be the proper respect to the laws
and dogma of the country in
which he serves, he has either
portrayed gross ignorance, poor
craftsmanship or willful malevo-
lence at time when his countr
should be the most mindful as to
its conduct.
Germany looks to this country
for a, loan of large proportions.
= She sees here a possible outlet
for her surplus in industry and
she will face a belligerent nation
where she most needs a
friend unless herr latest outrage
is effaced.
Some time ago an American
was imprisoned in a German
prison for an attempt at the
kidnapping of Grover Cleveland
Bergdoll, war time Stacker.
1t is an old established prin-
ciple of law that a principal is
responsible for his agent. In this
particular case the mistakes of a
diplomatic representative be-
come those of the government he
represents unless they are imme-
diately and explicitly disavowed.
The mere shift of responsibility
does not absolve the principle
that is involved. 1t is part of the
duty of foreign power, especial
ly when queried as to a decliate
situation, to Instruct explicitly
their representative as to the
proper action, and in such case
the action of the representative
becomes the action of the govern
ment itself.
Germany has Numbered and
has failed to apologize for the
mistake after the consummatiol
In the stubborn action following
the misadvanture, the majority Of
the American people will see n
spirit that will he hard in persuad
imp them that the country has
had a charge of heart since the
great war,-Sayannah Press

chicago last week, DaughertJ
made this cryptic remark which
he declines to explain:
"If a few of those senator's
don't resign today, l may have
a statement to make that will
cause some splash in Washing
tom"
"But if | do have anything to
say, III say it in Columbus, Ohio,
among my own people, at Memo
rial hail." he said.
Daugherty, it would seem,
has a card or two up his sleeve,
and that may explain his reten-
ton in the Cabinet. That there
are Senators on the majority
side who have feathered their
nests through stock dealing, is
generally believed.
Forbes, former veterans bu-
reau head, has not yet been in
dicted. He still walks the streets
free man. AS attorney gen
eral, Daugherty seems to have
been lax in his duty there.
The fact that the President
has removed the oil cases from
under the Department of Just
ice, shows lack of confidence,
in Daugherty, to say the least.
However, political expedien-
ey will win in the end. Party

Political Expediency

Attempts to compel the resig-
nation from the Cabinet of At
torney General Daugherty is
viewed by the Atlanta Constitu-
ton as political lynch law"
while the Rome Tribune-Herald
says that of all the members OF
the Cabinet under fire, Daugh-
erty is the most culpable.
Daugherty, in the meantime,
is standing pat, though showing
the effects of the battle being
waged for and against him.
Political expediency will win
in the end. IF the Grand OIL
Party believes that its chances
tor success in the fall elections
are best with Daugherty remain
ing in the Cabinet, he will stay.
Otherwise, the attorney general
will be sacrificed.
Here's the comment from the
Rome paper and its reasons
thGsfefor;
Of all the members OF the
Presidents Cabinet who are I'M
der fire, Attorney General
Daugherty is probably the most
cuipable. Poor old DENLY was
made the goat Tut Daugherty
clings to his position like a
barnacle. He was placed in the
Cabinet by President Harding be-
cause of his recognized ability as
political organizer and his per-
sonal friendship for the Presi-
dent. But he has demonstrat-
ed no ability as a lawyer and
has lost the confidence of the
people. Although there has been
no direct evidence that Daugher-
ty profited from the Teapot Oil
Dome deal, his failure to take
the lead in prosecution of thosS
VINO are accused has broken what
ever confidence the people might
have had in him. The very fact
that the government has been
compelled to employ special
counsel to handle this matter,
taking it entirely out of the
hands of the Department of Just
ice, is evidence that Daugherty is
not trusted by the administra-
ton for such an important task.
The Atlanta Constitution
takes this view of the Daugher-
ty situation, saying:
The refusal of Attorney Cen
eral Daugherty to summarily re-
sign his office during a storm of
political hysteria and congress
sional mobocracy, without trial
or hearing. and without even a
direct charge of wrong doing
against him, was right; and for
his courage, and for unfolding
the faith of a democratic form
of government that guarantees
fair play to every individual.
ne will be commended by right,
thinking Americans. regardless of
party affiliations.

Men are much larger and strong

check-up of the armour worn by
knights of the 10th century shows
that fighting men in those days
averaged only 1870 pounds in
weight, had a waist 80 inches
around, and wore size 6 shoe.
All this is a part of the system

wonder what people 400 years

This interesting statement regard
ing the extent of the Maine forests
Is found in the new booklet entitled
"The Forests of Maine" just pub
lished by the State Forest Depart
ment and written by Samuel 7. Dana,
former Maine forest commissioner
and now director Of the Northeast
ern forestry experiment station at
Amherst, Mass. The bulletin con-
tinues as follows:
"The area of forest land in Maine
is greater than that in any other
state in the northeast. 1t is con-
siderably more than the. combined
forest area of all the other New
England states, and more than that
of New York and New Jersey put
together. On basis Of ratio Of for
est area to total land area Maine
easily leads all other states in the
Union. with Arkansas a rather poor
second. The forest area is also I'M
usually large in comparison with the
population. In this respect Maine,
with a forest area of 1876 acres per
capita, exceeds all other states east
of the Rocky Mountains with the
single exception of Florida.
Forests ana INDUSTRY
1.-THE great area occupied by the
forests of Maine naturally makes the
forest and wood-using industries
prominent in the industrial life of
the State. Census statistics show
that those industries which depend
on wood as their chief or only raw
material include more than two
fifths Of the total capital invested in
the manufacturing industries. and
employ more than one-third of the
total number of employees. With an
invested capital of $1S2.000.000, they
have an annual payroll Of $4,000
600 and turn out a product valued at
STAG, 100000. These figures do not
include the logging industry, the
business of which is to get the wood
from the forests to the mill, nor do
they include such industries as
bookbinding, printing and publish
ing, which are dependent on paper
made almost entirely from wood
pup. The former would add about
20, 900 and the latter about 215Q to
the total number supported by the
forest and it's products
Forests and Water" Forests and
Agriculture, and Forests and Re-
creation" are other topics taken up
Interestingly by Mr.. Dana in his
treatise. Copies of the bulletin may
