If kept waiting too long, yoa
lose interest. You would have been
excited a year ago if anybody had
?aid, "You will soon have Emperor
William in London on trial for his
life." . ?
Yesterday Bonar Law, in the
House of Commons, announced
that the Emperor would be put on
trial as soon as Peace League de
tails were settled, and nobody pays
the least attention.
Like the little boy at the circus,
Ve have passed on to the next
cage. The rip-roaring gorilla of
^1914 no longer interests us, we
want to see what's coming, no in
terest m what's gone by.
Mr, Emil Friend, under the
fttme of Boersianer, thinks and
writes more ably than any other
man in the country on financial af
fairs. Asked "what are the finan
cial conditions and prospects of
France and Germany, he said that
the most interesting and impor
tant fact is the cloee tie betweeh
German and French money. "If
the mark goes down," said he, "the
franc must go down. France will
depend largely for prosperity and
money on Germany's ability to
pay the indemnity. The United
States also is interested, for on
Germany's ability to pay France
depends French ability to pay to
the United States money borrowed
here. The ahility of Germany to
pay depends on her ability to get
raw materials that she may go to
<work Nations pay with their
tabor, not with currency "
This shows what a curious thing
war is. To kill the nation next to
yon, no matter how much you hate
that nation, would be like one
Sianeee twin killing his brother.
The one that kills the other must
die with the one killed.
The "Great and Holy" empire of
Aestrla is th? nearest thing to
total extinction ever seen, even
after a great war. As whittled
down by the Peace League Austria
ha* fowor inhabitants than the
City of Now York.
. Kn gland is borrowing money
here at six and a quarter per cant.
The rlcbeet nation in the vorld,
except this, England won Id r.ot
have believed such a thing Mocsible
when the war began. Two per
cent waa enough (or the Bdtish
government to pa; then There is
mm ominous drop. The British
empire a weaker borrower thaa
yoer conker grocer.
ff the coal strike came it wr* . d
mean diseat er to-minions of Amer
icans. Senator Frellughuysca ?.<???
it would cost ths country pefcrti**
aebtly one billion dollars a <#&.
The final cost is sot as impor
tant as the immediate cessati >n ?
business, transportation and '>the;
necessities. What a burglar ?akjs
from yoar pocket is not as serious
aa the preliminary blow of the
black-jack oe sour head. It is
ing knocked eenselees before ;he
money is taken that hurts and dc.es
the moat term.
The miners say. perhaps trnly,
that what they ask is small, com
pared to what has been taken from
the public, without much protect,
by owners of mines that do no
work.
What shall the country do? As
suming that the miners have Jus
tice on their side, shall it stand still
while the black-jack is applied,
and allow the country to be knock
ed senseless that working miners
may take from owners of mines
what is due them
It is suggested that the Govern
ment use soldiers to get out the
coal. This seems sensible, how
ever great the sympathy with the
demands of half a million miners.
If the Government took out
the coal while miners went with
out pay and mine owners with
out profit, some way might be
found to settle the fight between
mine owners and mine workers,
without first hitting the public
en the head with a black-jack.
There must be some better
method than the highwayman's
method. He, at least, hits on the
head the man from whom he
wants to take the money. Where
as, workers and owners, when
they fight, instead of hitting each
other on the head, begin by sand
bagging the public and go on
with their fight afterward.
The doctor who has been graft
ing interstitial glands from ?
young goats on old goats, from
young rats on old rats, and from
monkeys on human beings, said:
"Of course, you can't make actual
experiments of grafting from one
human being to another." But
he did not know the United
States. Here there is more re
sourcefulness The problem has
been solved by taking intersti
tial glands from the bodies of
men just hanged, and planting
them in the bodies of old, feeble
prisoners, to se? how the s<-h*me
would work The French will be
interested to hear that.
Th? aged prisoner u.-nne ener
gies supplied by the giaada of a
freshly executed mutdeeer msy
feel much younger, but maat be
a little anxious as to the aaoral
effect
This is certain, nothing that
anv man invents or tries will
hold back death. It may come a
little later, some particular gland

Washington Aee, an* P??k?klt Wla
?er ?< the TruwCMtlacatal
Aerial Derby.
Only those who have flown can
realise what it means to travel in a
icout plane through a heary fog and
rain storm. I experienced many ex
ceedingly heavy storms all the way
from New York to Cleveland. Before
I had gone a great way out of
Buffalo, the rain drops had worn
off the tips of the propeller for more
than two inches, and had chewed it
along the side to a depth of an inch.
It is easy to imagine how this would
happen when it is explained that the
propeller tips driven by an engine
such as I had travels at the rate of
nearly 700 miles per hour.
Feared Fag lost
Bad u the rain wu, I feared the
1 fog moat, and for a great distance
I wia compelled to fly within 250
feet of the (round, to follow my land
^narks.
One freak tab feature of my trrp was
'the demonstration at Des Moines that
it is posalble to land In a back yard.
Wcaa outkof gas while flying at a
fcw atltutft. and made a farced land
ing fti the^ieart of the cKy. From
the air. I spotted what apepared to
be an amatev ball park, cat across
by a skall straam. Tree# and houses
appeared on tftfsee sides, and on the
fourth side a twenty-foot fence. T
just barfly cleared the fence, hopped
over the stream and came to a stop
within ten feet of a telegraph pole.
Three Hang t* Wise*.
To enable me to get off, three men
had to hald on to each wing until
the motor was warmed up. Then I
virtually |*aped ?ft the ground, clear
ing the treea by a scant two feet.
8ix fliers left Buffalo ahead of me,
but X was the first to reach Cleve
land. There the rain delayed us sev
eral boura. Late in the afternoon we
took oft for Chicago and the inter
mediate atops. This lap was unevent
ful. except that I experienced diffi
culty in finding the Held, as directions
?'ere rather vague aad I was not in
possession of a map of the field with
relation to Chicago proper.
It rained torrents that night, and
| on the next morning the field ?a? a
veritable lake. I was the only one
of the entrants able to take off the
field. This accomplishment is a dis
tinct credit to the S. E. 5. a single
seat machine.
Finds Better Weather.
From Chicago to Rock Island it was
very foggy, but. from th? latter atop
or. through to North Tlatte. the
weather was fairly good, with a head
wind which slowed down the speed.
From North Platte straight on
through to Cheyenne the weather was
favorable with a westerly wind.
It was at Green River. YVyo.. that
I saw one of the most remarkable
things in flying. The field lies on a

Intervention in 1917,
Bernstorff Declares
BERLIN. Oct. 23?The former
Kaiser scoffed at the dancer of Amer
icas Intervention early in 1917, ac
cording: to Count Von Bernstorff, then
ambassador to the United States.
Replying to a question by Dr.
Sinmheimer, when he resumed testify
ing in the relchstag committee Inves-j
i tigatlon of the conduct of the war.
Von Bernstorff admitted that Wil
li elm tele-graphed Foreign 6*ret?ry
Zimm?rm*na tbout January 16, 1J17,
"that ifa breach with America cannot
be avoided, thing's must take their
course."
Tha statement created a sensation,
several committee members gasping
vudlbly. There was a hurried con
1 sultatlon and after some delay a copy
I of the telegram was produced. It was
read by Slnshelmer.
*?? Worried About It.
"His Majesty does not care a bit
about President Wilson's peace ofltar,"
the telegram said, "if a breach with
America cannot be avoided, things
must take their course. Events are
developing."
The excitement grew as the full
text was read and the committete and
audience grasped the full import of
this hidden bit of imperial diplomacy.
There was a confused muttering,
above which Dr. Karl HellTerlch,
fortrar German ambassador to Russia,
could be heard to whisper loudly:
"Nonsense!"
"When the hearing was resumed
Slnzhelmer declared Germany's pro
eram of peace conditions sent Presi
dent Wilson on January, 12, 1817. and
said to be the same as Germany of
I fered December 28. 1916, were in real
j ity not the same.

"This is the first time that I ever
j knew that." interrupted Von Bern
storff excitedly.
Returning to discuussion of alleged
German plots in America. Von Bern
I storff an d he believed that nothing
; ever trjnspired to Justify the accusa
' tlon of conspiracy. He admitted that
I certain German officials had partici
pated in acts of sabotage, hut de
Iclared the German foreign office was
(never a party to it.
I "American opinion against Germany
resulted mainly from the Invasion of
Belgium," he maintained.
The former ambassador detailed
President Wilson's peacc efforts be
tween 1914 and 1917.
"President Wilson was an honest
peace mediator, but Wilhelmstrasse
(the German foreign office) thought
not and played a double game,"* said
von Bernstorff.
The witness declared that he talk

offered to leave Washington. He
j quoted Secretary of State Lansing as
saying to him:
J "You are not Implicated. I would
be sorry Indeed if you left." -
| Col. E M. House, confidential ad
viser to President Wilson, was said
to httvn expressed a similar opinion.
