(Columbia State.) Except in its misty allusion to Bel gium the tone of the German chan cellors address to the reichstaer last Wednesday was plaintive. German v 1 1 1 not hear of restriction of her military power, Germany is fighting lor existence, Germany has no cov etous eyes on other lands, the blood guilt of the war in Europe is on the head of other nations and all that Germany asks or would have is the right to live as an armed man ab:e to hold other powers at arm's length. In what it did not say the address was a plea. It contained no syllable of obstacle to a satisfactory settle ment with France about Alsace and Lorraine. It set up nothing affirma tive in relation to Polish territoiv that would define and limit Germanic negotiation. It hinted not even re motely at payments of indemnity. The references to Belgium avoided the suggestion of limitation of that country's independence indeed, they were nrnacine onlv m so far as they indulged in excess of emphasis about the protection of Flemish destiny from a trench and English aggres sion that might threaten Germany. In a word, the address was a decla ration that Germany is prepared to enter into negotiations for peace without any conditions or reserva- 10ns except that she will not disarm and will exact that Belgium be at least subject equally to Germanic as to French and British influences in future. Most significant was the chancel lor's pointed denial of German inten tion to attack Canada or any part of the Western hemisphere. That assur ance so proclaimed at this time could scarcely have lacked a definite mo tive. The United States had not asked for it nor had any American repub lic. Its tendency is to clear the path for the United States to enter as pacifier. It was calculated to strip the United States of possible appre hension so that its representatives as members of a peace congress might be wholly detached and therefore ju dicial in their point of view. The chancellor s brave periods about the "German sword" ought not to be taken too seriously. One sup poses that the war has been waged long enough for the belligerents to have conceived a fair respect for one another's prowess. No one anywhere heeds wild words about "crushing" m- "annihilating" this or that people and whatever the terms of peace, they will include mutuality of liberty to individual nations in the matter of arming. There will be no endeavor to perpetuate the "ring of iron" aboui the Central Powers. The German peo ple, however, are themselves not likely to adore the "German sword" after the war. Once they have been allowed to rest from wielding it for a few months their rapt gaze will turn to other things. In ouiet reflec tion they will perceive what 40 years of idolatry of it has cost and how little it has paid. The Hohenzollerns. whatever the event of the war, will not in future be supported as priests of Mars by the German people. Great Britain, trance and Russia may with confidence reckon on the likelihood that the problem of the "German sword" will solve itself in Germany.

JAPANESE IN CHINA. 1 a i m 1 w i i t flTlV-i I (By Associated Press) Peking, April 8. The Japanese government has formally advised the Chinese foreign office of the appoint ment of Japanese consuls to Yunnan fu, the capital of Yunnan province, which is now in revolt, and to Chen tu, the capital of Czechuen poovince, which tse ievolutionaries are invad ing. The Japanese say these consuls have been sent for the purpose of making investigations as to the con- I difons affecting foreigners in the i troubled iistricts. These appointments ; have caused much discussion in China as they wer made wholly without I China's permission and are regarded as violation of her sovereignty. COSMOPOLITAN S HAM, DANCE (By Associated Press) Havre April 8. Havre has always been the most cosmopolitan port in France, but never before the war would you get three British half pence and a Belgian sou in eight cents worth of small change. That triviality is -symbolical of the Havre of today only half French, three eights British and an eighth Belgian. It is the influx of the British that has doubled the traffic of the port during the past nineteen months and congested the docks until scores of ships are at times seen lying for days together in the offing waiting for a spot to become vacant at the quays. The quays themselves are piled with bales of cotton, giving to the port a resemblance to New Oreans. The cotton sheds, covering 20 acres of ground and fitted with 20 electric cranes, hare become insufficient and the bales are rolled upon the quays everywhere that a ship from New Or leans happens to find a berth. The traffic of the port of Havre which amounted to 5,400,000 tons in 1913 was less than half that of Rot terdam and only a little more than a third of that of Antwerp and Ham burg. The reasons for it were large ly lack of docking facilities and the limited railroad communications with Paris and the center of France. Even before the war, ships were sometimes held up in the roads waiting their turn to dock, and a new basin called the "Tidal Basin" was planned and partly finished with the view to re- ieving congestion. The congestion of traffic now is not only a hindrance to commerce but a danger to navigation which greater vigilance on the part of the French navy against German submarines may obviate but which is considered sufficiently serious at the present time to justify consideration of the tem porary use of the uncompleted Tidal Basin as a refuge for vessels waiting their turn to dock. The town itself is far more animat ed than in time of peace, and is un avoidably getting rich from the vast expenditures of the British Commis sary Department and the individual trade of officers and soldiers. Eng lish shop signs are seen everywhere alongside the French, for "Tommy At kins" is slow in learning the language. One of the most conspicious things one sees in the Rue de Paris, the principal street in the town, is "Brit ish Bar" in big. brave British red on the window of a saloon. A little further on a sign points the way to the "British Soldiers' Club," another sign post directs men to the "British Officers' Club" while there are tea rooms everywhere and restaurants that conspiciously advertise "Ham and Eggs." "The right shop for Brit ish." "Come in and demand for all the things which you want," "Football boots," are among some of the ap peals to the soldiers. British transports have the right-of-way over all other ships in the harbor and at the docks, and the British prevail everywhere on shore. Some people at Havre have inquired whether the British occupation is go ing to last forever, an inquiry inspired by the seemingly permanent charac ter of the installations for the dif ferent services of the British army and for the British troops. Most people at Havre will be glad if it does, because they are getting rich ill, excepting the fishermen. The herring catch has diminished 50 per cent, while all the other commerce of Havre has doubled. Havre is under naval instead of military rule, despite the occupation by the British army. Khaki is the prevailing color, but the French Ad miral, Biard, is the king of Havre and "Tommy Atkins" must submit to his authority. He must quit the saloon at 9 o clock and must not be found in a restaurant after 10. Patrols look for him through all the narrow ways and by-ways and in the corners of the docks, and pick him up sharp ly if found after hours where Tie should not be. As to the civilian, he looks in vain lor any sort ot consideration in Havre; those that live there content themselves in taking British money m excange for the best rooms, dpsL 't.purtments and be.-t tables in the restaurants. The civilian from abroad gets in with so much difficulty, he feels as if he had broken m and al most insensibly tries to sneak out; this too is difficult, for the man from Scotland Yard considers every civilian guilty of spying until he has proven his innocence; if he happens to speak English, the presumption against him is so much the stronger.
