WOULD COERCE GERARD.
.Mr. Conger, the Berlin correspond
ent of the Associated Press, sends
some long dispatches from Copenhag
en, where he has arrtved from Berlin,
the flrst American to leave the Uer
mun capital since the rupture of dip
lomatic relations, lie narrates the
steps taken by the German govern
ment with a view to securing a fresh
ratification of the treaty of 1799 be
tween Prussia and the United States
regarding the mutual treatment of
their nationals caught in a belligerent
country in case of war.
Count Montgalas, the head of tHo
American department at the German
foreign ottiee, submitted to .Mr. Ger
ard a protocal proposing a number
of important additions to the treaty
provisions of 1799 and 1S12, they were
to the effect that in case of war:
Merchants should be allowed to
continue their business and to re
tain their residence until the end of
the war unmolested;
No law affecting the validity of con
tracts should be applied to Germans
in the United States or to the Am
ericans iu Germany.
I All patents should be inviolate; a
; question of high importance in Mew
of the great value. X not lndispen
sibility of certain German patents in
the manufacture f munitions nnd ex
j plosive.
| Not only enemy property, as such,
j should be exempt from siezure or re
i strictions beyond those applying to
all property, but enemy ships in the
port of the adversary should not be
seized duiing tiie war, not forced to
leave port unless under safe conduct.
The protocal also forbade explicitly
any interment or restrictions of lib
erty of enemy nations in either coun
try.
Mr. Gerard’s refusal to sign this
convention after he had ceased to
I
I
j perform the ambassadorial func
tions or to telegraph for Instructions
unless permitted to use code, led
t'outn Montgalas to hint that a re
fusal to sign the protocol might ma
terially affect the status of Americans
in Germany end their privilege of de
parture. Ho Mentioned specifically
| tlie American correspondents whom
r Mr. Gerard desired to take out with
him and whose fate was thought to
carry particular weight with Amer
ican public opinion.
Tliis information of the possibility
of detaining Americans even under
the status of diplomatic rupture, and
• the use of newspaper correspondents
as pawns upon the diplomatic chess
board, caused Mr. Gerard roundly to
declare that ho could not bo "sand
| bagged” by any such pressure either
by consideration of personal safety
or convenience.
THINKS WHILE DRESSING
Man in the process of evolution 1ms
! got rid of his fur, or feathers, and
' every day he must put on something
I to take the place of fur, and every
night he must take off the artificial
clothing.
There is apparently no greater
waste of time than the time that is
spent in dressing and undressing.
Bathing, shaving for men and pow
dering your nose for women, finding
1 what you want to wear and putting
it on it Is a thiresome part of every
day.
But—
The hours in which a human being
I grows and devcolps mentally arc the
i hours of solitude.
And a great many of us are prac
I tically never alone, except when wo
I are getting dressed or Undressed.
Sleep is a time of Idleness—no
growth there.
When yve are with others we listen,
'earn, perhaps, and debate, but we
don’t really think with intenisty.
The one thing that makes you more
of a man than you were last year is
intense, solitary thought.
Why not say to yourself: Since 1J
j must spend at least 330 hours a yearl
| in dressing and undressing, in bath
ing and shaving, a no looking for my
collar button, I'll also spend that time!
in thinking!
So you know how many men spend
300 hou ! a year i" actual, concen
trated thought?
Not one in a thousand.
Suppose you see what you can
make oat of the hours lost in put
ting on end taking off the artiflciil
fur and feathers and howr rntirh you
can grow in the thinking
Beeon te’t that '.he mind was de
veloped by reading, talking and writ
ing.
And a? said:
Writing maketh an exact man.
Speaking maketh a ready man
Heading maketh a fu'l man.
(We quote the learned gentleman
from memory, will; > in necessary
when you w rite editorials on > i id
road train.)
Heading tills you with knowledge,
speaking makes you quick or ready,
writing makes vou exact—true.
But more Important than reading,
writing or speaking is thinking.
The real you, lives inside of your
brain alone. And it works at its best
when you are alone.
Aristotle taught Alexander the
Great walking up and down with the
young prince that he might become
wise and strong at the same time—
that is what they call the peripatetic
method of intellectual development.
Why don’t you educate yourself in
thought ns you march up and down
from the bed to the bathroom, from
the rough towel to the safety razor,
and so on through the long, tiresome
and unusually wasted process of
dress?- San Francisco Call.
