There is an article of unusual
complexion in the Leipziger
Abend-Zeitung, dealing with' the
need of moderation in the view
taken of England and English
men. In judging Britons, says
the article, hatred is not neces
sary. It only distorts the vision.
The German who sees and recog
nizes with clear sight that which
is good and acceptable in English
ways is wiser and stronger than
his compatriot who wildly and
without understanding blas
phemes and demolishes.
The writer condemns the Ger
man press, which, with all its ex
cellent qualities, has failed in this
clear understanding of England
He speaks of a seriously wound
ed German officer who had been
cared . for in England and was
among the exchange prisoners
who recently arrived home. The
officer described in detail, in an
article for the press, the tender,
loving care bestowed on him, he
spoke of the innumerable friendli
nesses shown him—but not one
solitary German newspaper would
accept his manuscript. A German
cavalry officer narrated a moving
incident of how a British soldier
laid a cloak gently over him as he
lay wounded on the field in order
to protect him from the rain. And
many another Englishman has
acted in similar fashion.
Would it not be nobler and
wiser, asks the Leipsig journal, to
let such things be published? It
is perversion of the true point ol
view when Germans constantly
speak of “the perfidy of King Ed
ward.” The king only gave vent
to the hatred of Prussia which he
had inherited. It is a perversion
to speak of the scoundrelly Eng
lish statesmen and the mercenary
press in their employ. The real
kernel of. the trouble lies in the
fact that ini this war brother
stands against brother. This is
the' terrible truth . Old regard
and love and old fraternal feel
ings which had never been dis
turbed by strife or battl$ have
been changed to aversion, and in
many instances to hate. Let us
get at the verities in this awful
struggle.
British and Austrian Freedom
The Arbeiter Zeitung is rather
amused at the Complaints appear
ing in the labor press of Great Bri
tain that tohe "cnstitutional liber
ties of newspapers” have been
curtailed. One British labor jour
nal quoted by the Vienna organ
complains that while public, atten
tion is wholly occupied with the
events of tlje war, those constitu
tional liberties won by their fore^
fathers have been taken from
Britons, and their privileges sur
lcndered to the keeping of the
house of lords.
The Arbeiter Zeitung has been
turning over British labor jour
nals, and is unable to understand
this complaint In one leading
newspaper it noticed several arti
cles violently atacking the British
government. One of these was
headed “Lloyd George’s Deceit,”
in another government is threat
ened with the bitterest opposition
should it attempt to introduce
compulsory military service. The
Arbiter Zeitung concludes:
“What would the English labor
journal say if it knew the condi
tions under which—let us say the
Arbeiter Zeitung—writes and
mfust write?”
The Stupid Press.
The Ostdeutsche Rundschau,
one of the principal ultra-natural
and anti-Semitic journals of the
fatherland, devotes much space to
descriptions of the chaos and
planlessness which it alleges pre
vails in England. Speaking re
cently of the British parliament
the Rundchau declared that the
thickest of political fogs prevails
in the house of commons—a
“common house” in the lowest
meaning of the word. No one
there knows anything about the
course he should pursue. Never
before has there been such a
chaotic wandering about of spirits j
in the British legislature, not even
in the threatening days of thej
great Napoleon. For the British
to pursue this war any further is
senseless and profitless.
Two days later the journal
wrote: “And now the right hon
orable Sir Grey has spoken about
the situation in the Balkans, but
he spoke in very subdued and
mournful tones. His audacity is
broken, and there is no longer the
jubilation of victory. Grey as
sured himself long ago that crime
will not escape punishment, that a
Nemesis follows in the wake of thej
wrong-doer. He will very soon
hang his diplomat’s mantle on a|
nail.”
The Rundschau unable to re
frain from this attractive theme,
returned next day to the fray, and
wrote: “A period has now arrived
for Old England of which the!
lords in their club arm chairs bit
terly complain. They say they are]
not pleased with things, and that
there is something rotten in the
state of England' The jolly laugh
has disappeared from the ‘victory -
sure-of face of John Bull, and
every evening he fearfully wrin
kles his nose as he turns it to the
heavens in his anxious swell for
the terrible Zeppelins. What has
become of Merry Old England?
Were Bo/- Dickens to return to
the world, he would not recognize
his home.
One more extract from an arti-|
cle writtenafter thenotorious Jew
ish director of the Hamburg-Am
criean line made his recent speech,
‘The commercial press (the Jew
ish journals) are giving them
selves the greatest trouble to
show that the position of England
has suddenly become most pre
carious. The well known Herr
Ballin of Hamburg describes
England’s positon as almost hope
less. All England’s desires have j
been in vain, her dominion on the I
seas is a thing of the past her|
credit and prestige in the world 1
have received a terrible shock. In
a word, Balfin paints a grey pic
ture on grey canvas. He do<>s
this, of course, intentionally, and
with the object of making profit
out of it. And the same tone is
noticeable in all the money news
papers."—Ex. _
HUGE INCREASE
IN CCEAN RATES
A glance at the ocean rates now
quoted for transatlantic shipment,
as contrasted with those prevail
ing before the war, will go far to
ward helping investors in steam
ship securities to understand the
tremendous appreciation that has
taken place in their earning ca
pacity, says the Boston Monitor.
Below are shown ocean rates as
quoted, on standard commodities,
this week and in July, 1914* on
shipments from Boston to Liver
pool :
November. June
♦Per 100 pounds. 1915 1914
Grain, per bushel . .$ .40 -la
Cotton. 1.25 .15
Provisions.90 .23,
Sack flour.70 .12
Pail lard.96 .2?
Butter . 122 -34
Cheese. 1.12 28
Oil cake.70 -12
Apples, per brl. 1.25 ,6c
Hard lumber.70 .xj
Soft lumber.80 22
♦Except for grain and apples.
Rates from New York on cer
tain commodities average rather
higher than from other Atlantu
ports.
In modern times grain has been
carried across the Atlantic for ai
low a charge as one half cent per
bushel and even as ballast. With
in recent years steamship officials,
have stated that if they could de
pend throughout the various sea
sons upon a “tuppence” rate foi
that commodity, they w'ould con
sider the steamship busines it
good one.
In transportation circles the
opinion is now expressed thaf;
after the close of the war it will
take a considerable time for ocean
rates to go back as low as those
quoted in the last column of th<
above table, if indeed, with th<
precedent now being set, the
lines are not able to continue in
definitely to keep rates well
above the lower figures.—St. Paur.
