OPINION ABROAD.
The altitude of all the chief gov
ernments of Europe toward the Unit
ed States with reference to our Mex
ican policy has been not only entire
ly correct but distinctly friendly, and
the cause has largely been that,
whatever interests may be at stake
in Mexico, the impairment of friend
ly relations with the United States
would cost far more than those in
terests were worth. It is not so much
approval, much less sympathy and
regard that these governments feel
for the United States, as a cool and
intelligent calculation of what, on the
whole and in the long run, will be
best for their respective nations that
guides them.
The people of the various countries
of Europe, including England—or that
small portion of them who know or
care about the matter—do not bother
to make this calculation, and, as far
as the press shows, they take no very
kind view of our conduct. This is
due partly to ignorance, accurate in
formation being hard to get and not
easy to interpret; partly to a natural
resentment of the rather masterful
tone that our government has taken
toward the Huerta government, gen
erally recognized by the governments
of Europe; and quite largely to the
influence of business men, not very
numerous but active and very sore,
who have suffered losses in Mexico.
The unkindness is not serious, and
will pass if any tolerable settlement,
shall be reached. It need give us, or
our government, no real concern.
On the other hand, sentiment in
South America is steadily assuming
a better lone since we accepted the
good offices of the three cliief re
publics of that continent. If things
go well, and we are not forced at
any serious juncture to part company
with our friendly advisers, this is an
important gain, and far more than
offsets any disadvantage or annoy
ance we may experience from the
umbrageous temper of our European
cousins. While successful co-oper
ation for peace is by no means cer
tain, the immense value of it in the
long future justifies our government
in every possible effort to secure it.

what happened to the New Haven,

stock in the line, but that he believ

government control of the roads was
the only method of handling the sit

control of the roads by \Vall„street
operators, who made money by forc
ing the stock up or down, was nec
essary before the railroads could be
placed on a fair footing.
BERLIN WOMEN ARE
AFTER WIFEBEATERS
BERLIN, May 22.—Indefinite sen
tences of imprisonment for habitually
drunken husbands who mistreat their
wives and children are demanded by
the Federated Women’s Societies of
Germany. At a meeting today of
the organization it was decided to pe
tition the government to legalize such
form of punishment. Numerous speak
ers agreed that there was no other
way of combatting the constantly
growing danger to the lives and mor
als of drunkards’ families. It is
proposed the offenders shall be kept
in prison so long as there is the
slightest probability that they would
abuuse their liberty by committing
further excesses.

SEATTLE, May 22.—The trial of
Mrs. Magdelena Werner, charged with
the murder of her husband, came to
an end today when the defendant con
fessed that she had instigated the
murder of her husband in order that
she might marry the hired man. The
husband was old and cranky, refused
to give her money for clothes or to
provide properly for the children, she
stated, and the hired man had al
ways been good to her and she loved
him.
The murder done by the hired man,
who is now in jail awaiting trial for
murder, was committed several
months ago on the farm of the couple
near Issaquaq. The farmer was mur
dered in the barn and his son could
hear his death cries, but was told by
his mother to remain away. At first
the police believed the work to have
been that of robbers, but an inves
tigation soon brought to light the re
lations between the farmer's wife and
the man employed on the farm.
The court room has been crowded
every day by women and several of
them have been crushed in the mobs,
which try to secure seats and he'ar
the sensational evidence of wrong
doing between the woman and her
accomplice.

Government Experts Introducing New
Foods In Effort to Reduce the
Cost of Living.
WASHINGTON, May 22.—The Un
ited States Bureau of Fisheries has
undertaken to add a new article to
the popular diet in the form of sea
mussels. Appreciating that with the
increasing cost of meats the food re
quirements of the people must be
met by a greatly increased consump
tion of sea foods, the bureau, through
Professor Field, has for some time
been collecting data and making lab
oratory experi ■ ents to prove the
wholesomeness and value of various
neglected products.
Among the most valuable of these
unutilized resources are the enormous
beds of sea mussels which extend
along the Atlantic coast as far south
as North Carolina and along the Pa
cific down to San Francisco. Why
this delicious food has been so long
neglected in America is not easily
explained.
In Great Britain, Holland and
France, millions upon millions of
pounds of sea mussels are consumed
annually. The sea mussel Is closely
related to the oyster and clam. As
a nutritious and wholesome food it
is equal to neither, and many persons
regard it as superior in flavor. They
may be roasted, steamed, fried or
creamed, or made into chowder,
broth, croquettes and served as mus
sels a la poulette. They are inex
pensive, for a peck of mussels In the
shell Will supply all the meat required
for a meal for ten persons, and costs
about 25 cefits. The government
