THE AMERICAN ATTITUDE.
While it is apparent that the rela
tions at present existing between the
t'niteil States and Germany are a
trifle strained, there is small reason to
suspect that there will eventually be an
open rupture between the two nations.
Germany has defined her position In
relation to the war zone around the
British Isles so completely that there
is scarcely an opportunity for the
United States, or any other govern
ment, to do more than protest against
such incidents as may occur within the
affected district unless it can tie con
clusively shown that the Germans
hate, with deliberate intent, attacked
the flag of this or other neutral na
tions. While it is claimed that such
lias been the case in several instances,
the fact has apparently not been clear
ly established. In two of the instances
wherein vessels belonging in the
United States were involved, those of
the Wm. T. Urve and the steamer
Falaba, the German government has
accepted full responsibility, and. in the
case of the first mentioned, offered im
mediate reparation. In the cases of
the torpedoing of the Gulflight and the
ariel attack on the steamer Cushing,
while it is indicated that the Germans
are responsible, at the same time the
text of the American note displays
with certainty that the blame has not
been definitely fixed. Even in the
event that Germany accepts responsi
bility in both instances, it is still not
clearly established that the attacks
were other than mistakes in identity
for which Germany will, in all pro
bability, make reparation on proper de
mand. It is hardly believable that
Germany is seeking to involve other
nations in the war and thereby add
still further to the mighty forces with
which she is at present confronted.
Germany may be ready to fight the
world, if necessary, as suggested by the
Kaiser, but at the same time it would
appear manifest that she is not deli
berately inviting that result by making
willful and premediated attacks on (he
citizens and flags of foreign nations.
To assume any other view in this re
lation seems hardly compatible with
good logic. It would appear, therefore,
that the attacks on American ships
are the result of mistakes rather than
of intention and, save in the event of
repeated offenses of like nature, the
United States has no just reason to
assume an offensive attitude toward
the German nation. In the matter of
the loss of American lives incident to
German operations against the ships
of belligerent nations, here also the
United States can do no more than
protest as it is clear that in entering
the war zone, tinder such circum
stances. American citizens assume a
personal liability and the government,
therefore, cannot hold Germany to ac
count Generally speaking, unless eir
cumstanees arise which clearly indi
cate a deliberate and willful intent on
the part of Germane to injure Ameri
can shipping and Jeopardize the lives
of American citizens, the United State*
can take no decisive measures without
placing herself in a position to receive
well merited censure The severance
of diplomatic relations by way of pro
test seems the ultimate of the possi
bilities in this respect and it may be
assumed that this will only occur In
the event that the depredations on
American shipping agsume a far great
er significance than Is apparent at the
present time.
OUR GAIN FROM THE WAR
The principal celebrants In "the
bloody spree," as Prof. Herrick en
titles the European scuffle, pause now
and then to speak of their regret that
America's sorrow seems mitigated with
an eagerness to profit by the debauch.
Sympathy with this emotion is easily
at hand The spectacle of t'nele Sam
holding the coats of the belligerents
and going through the pockets thereof
is an unpretty one: and were it not for
tiie suspicion that he is himself pav ing
too liberally for the obscene carousal
of Ids neighbors we might well he mof
titled over his mercenary attitude
Hut there is one benefit that we are
deriving from the trouble without de
basing ourselves and perhaps without
displeasing the combatants. Every
day that the war lasts and every day
that the newspapers publish news and
(i.mment about it the average Ameri
can is taking to himself vast quantities
f erudition that otherwise he would
| not possess
The educational value (if the war to
a people already superficially versed
: in European affairs is stupendous.

The Kaiser has resumed his old prac
tice of sawing wood, Just as he used
to do in Sans Souci Park in Potsdam
and in F.ellevue park in Fcrlin. T was
told by one of hia suite that he saws
wood for one or two hours daily. ITe
thinks this exercise one which keeps
I him in best physical trim After a

Then he turns to again later and saws
some more.
GERMANY FITS
MAIMED FOR JODS
That Germany with its characteris
tic thoroughness and efficient organi
zation in every detail of life, does not
intend to lose and time in the develop
ment of its people, even in ttie case of
those who are returned home sick or
wounded from service in the field, is
shown b.v the numerous suggestions,
made in various German newspapers i
for tlie instruction of such soldiers in
i
the hospitals In which they lie, as soon
as their wounds begin to heal or their,
illness to wane.
One of the articles published in this!
'connection in the Frankfurter Zeiting
was written b.v Dr. G. Burkhardt. who
describes the methods of converting
wounded soldiers into useful workers
in other lines of activity than those to
which they have been accustomed and
for which have been made unfit by
reason of their crippled condition
Dr. Burkhardt tells of one man. for
merly a motor boatman in Hamburg,
whose left arm was shot off. By dint
of some instructions in Rnglish. writ
ing. and arithmetic, the man is being
fitted for a job as bookseller and souve
nir seller on transatlantic steamships
after the war. A sergeant major, who
lost both his legs, is being turned into
a first class stenographer and typist
by dint of daily instruction in Hie hon
j pita!.
To assist in this work of Instruction'
of wounded soldiers, an appeal has
been made to men and women through
nut the empire, both with a view to
actual teaching of the crippled soldiers
and to obtaining positions. N’ew York

Such were my impressions as I saw
the Kaiser recently. He looked fresh

whom I have seen in Berlin. His face
