HARDEN SEES WEAK
SPIRIT IN REPUBLIC.
Germany, However, Showing
Signs of Slow Progress
Since World War.
Ry MAMMALIAN HARDEN.

BY Cable TO The S-ar.
BERLIN, August 1S.-Am!d general
Indifference. Germany this week cele-
brated the anniversary of the found
ing of the German Republic. Other
countries. which have ousted Grim
inal and incompetent rulers and estah-
lished popular rule are proud annuallS
TO set aside a day for national re-
ioicinc. But what anywhere else
would have been a great popular fes-
tivaI here resembled in its almost UNI
noticed passing some forgotten poor
relations birthday.
Why. indeed, should Germany's mil
lions rejoice on this day? Eight years
have passed under the presidency,
first of the Socialist, Ebert, then the
eX-imperialist, Hindenburg. and under
reither has any move been made TO
educate the people in their newly won
rights or endow Germany with that
strong. yet humble faith in human
justice which is the most precious
attribute of free nations.
Called Sorry Spectacle.
Between smiling about our defeat
and the miseries it entailed, and MAX
ing angry but empty threats against
our creditors, what a sorry spectacle
it has been,
Can it be expected that any people,
no matter how truly noble in funda-
mental character, viii love and re-
spect a government which alternates
between wheedling and clustering?
Certainly some progress has been
made. Most Of the responsible lead
ers have abandoned such despicable
tactics. They. unfortunately. have
not yet reached the point of adopting
q truly positive stand, four-square on
republican principles. The German
Republic comes Sorely near appearing
as Il mere compromise between the
extremes of kaiSerism and anarchy,
rather than a thing good in itself.
Men guided by genuinely republican
ideas would long since have recog
niZed that republican France had be-
come our best friend in the world
and that among French leaders,
Premier Poincare was the one Ger
many had the most reasons to trust.
Instead, everys opportunity is taken
to wave France as a horrible scare
crow and to decry Poincare as Ger
many'S sworn enemy.
Enyiable Position.
Germany is, despite all her wasted
opportunities, in the most enviable
Ol the IldllOItS OL Tie WOIlu.
She is surrounded, not only by friend
ly peoples, but by nations whose lead
ers seem bent on affording her The
most complete opportunity for free
development.
Compare the German international
status today with that of Is years ago.
when we We're the object of universal
suspicion and almost hatred. Who
can doubt that resolute republicanism
in our government and social institu-
tions would be the strongest insurance
that this state of affairs would con-
tinue, and would assist nightly to
solidify the bases of universal peace?
That the German people, who, !
though sound at heart, are totally
ignorant of political affairs, have made
such progress in eight years. en-
CT urages the hope that despite the
lIkewarmness of those in high places,
our republic may yet become thing |
which the nation will delight to honor.

CHILD BAND PRAISED.
French Musicians of Tender Years
Win Wide Comment.

PARIS. August 10 CP.-Ninety
orphans form a brass band that has
won much praise at many public
ceremonies.
The children, some of them no
bigger than the horns they blow,
are from five to ten years old. They
have been trained in the Saint
rges-deLille Orphanage by good
conductors.
Dressed in white, with assistants
to hold the drums and straps to help
support the larger instruments, the
band is a feature wherever it goes.
They won much credit when they
played before a musicians meeting.

ness for Silk Stockings.

LONDON, August IS GP.-Many a
celebrity is less famed than Edgar,
the Tower of London raven, whose
death is announced.
Edgar's age has been estimated at
so, 70 and SO years. He is known to
have been at least so. He was an
aristocrat among ravens.
Edgar's Partially was stockings.
He preferred silk ones. He would
come running along the ground and

presence begin to peck furiously at
her legs. It got to be standing joke
around the Tower, and many a wag
has directed some unsuspecting
woman past Edgar's haunts just to

Balloon Jumping
Interests Doyle

LONDON, March 26 (P-The new
sport of balloon jumping has inter-
ested Sir A. Conan Doyle who con-
ceived the idea some years ago of
using small balloons or hydrogen
knapsacks as an aid to pedestrians.
Sir Arthur says, "I feel that too
much should not be attempted. If
the margin between the mans weight
and the lifting power is only Q
few pounds, and huge leaps are made
it will mean a loss of control and
be the cause of many accidents. What
is needed is to turn the Is stone man
into a five stone man, so that he
can go on his way swiftly and
without fatigue. Better 80 foot
strides under control than 100 yard
springs where one may be the sport
of puffs of wind of unseen obstacles"

PARIS ELECTRIFIES
AIR DRIVEN CLOCKS

PARIS, March 26 (P)-Air driven
clocks that have given Parisians the
wrong time for 40 years, are being
electrified.
These pneumatic street clocks
seldom registered alike and are
blamed for a large share in giving
Paris the reputation of not having
any two clocks that tell the same
time.
The pneumatic clocks, operated by
compressed air, stopped working at
midnight upon the expiration of
40 year contract with a private COM
pany. Electric mechanisms are ready
for them and when cables are laid
in the street the clocks of Paris
will be regulated from the famous
Observatoire, which fixes time for
France and it's colonies.
In the old days the approximate
time was quite good enough but loud
complaints arose when the world
began to hurry and it was found that
the clocks were very much tout of
step with the sun.

French Doctor Says
Sun Spots Are F atal

PARIS, March 26 R-sun spots
double the number of sudden deaths,
in the opinion of Doctor Maurice
Faure, eminent surgeon.
His evidence, he told the Academy
of Medicine at it's last session, in
dcates clearly to him that the black
spots on the sun upset the nervous
or physical equilibrium of weakened
humans just as they are believed to
upset atmospheric equilibrium, caus-
ing storms.
Dr. Faure presented statistics to
support his contention.
Not only does he charge deaths
to the sun spots but he blames on
them the vast increase in crises of
those i'll with chronic maladies, during
the appearance of the spots.

Each wears a shoulder support that

shows the different positions, life
size and the student swimmers go

Col. David L. Stone, executive of.
ficer of the office Of the Assistant
Secretary of War. has been chosen
to be in charge of the reserve af.
fairs of the War Department, under
the chief of staff Of the army.
The department is now preparing
the plans for the functioning of this
new section. This step on the part
Will mean much to the development
of the reserves.
The War Department turned into
the Treasury from the sale Of waste
material, garbage, and other items,
at camps, posts and stations. $2IS,-
1880 for October, November and
December. Some experts Of the de-
partment have estimated this to be
at the rate of slightly more than
500 per hour or $2,411.47 per day.
These sales occurred all the way
from Portland. Me-. to Tientsin,
China.
Decorations of foreign govern.
ments are tabooed for officers of

tary Committee on bill that would
have authorized Col. William NJ.
ShdbDOl me- ISSSTNS, 10 accept the
order of st. Sava from the King of
the Serbs. Croats and Slovenes.
The Secretary pointed out that a
reserve. officer Is precluded under
the Constitution from accepting a
foreign decoration without the con.
sent Of Congress, and that there are
now on deposit in the Department
of State, a considerable number of
decorations awarded by foreign
governments to officers OF the
Army.
He expressed the opinion that If
legislation authorizing Colonel Chad
borne TO accept the foreign decora.
ton became a law, it would estab-
lish a precedent that would cause
pressure to be brought on Congress
for others. He quoted from a re.
port made t. the Sixty-seyenth Con.
gress wherein it said:
No policy should be followed
that would encourage the multipii.

notwithstanding this, many re-
serve officers do not believe that
the ruling against officers of the
regular army accepting these deco.
rations, should apply to reserve Of

The quartermaster general of the
army has just called the attention
Of all quartermasters to the fact that
hard problem must be solved il
the maximum degree of success in
the new building operations is to
be attained, namely, landscaping,
planting of trees and shrubs. There
are no funds provided or available
for such landscaptng operations,
but all quartermasters are urged to
start q nursery. even on a small
scale for plants and shrubs.
It is believed quartermasters will
be able to secure rare trees, shrubs
and plants which are peculiar to the
various localities, and that event
ually each military post may become
place where native flora now be-
coming rare and threatened with
extinction. may be conserved.
