The German guns that won the naval battle off the coast of Chile were
superior to the guns on the British ships. I hey were so tar superior to the
British guns that the British ships, according to one account, had to travel
lor two miles under the fire of the Germans while they themselves were un
able to reply.
And what was the result? Fifteen hundred poor sailors were fed to the
fishes.
Some time ago we saw where a Prince of Battenherg was forced to re
sign as first sea lord of the admiralty in England. He was lorced to resign
because he was horn in Austria end was very German in blood if not in
sy mpathy. That fact and the failure of the British guns to save the lives of
poor British sailors when placed together present a terrible lesson of the con
sequences of letting a ship of state get so old that social barnacles can destroy
it.
This war may be the sad lesson that was sadly required to wake up
Great Britain. In one sense there is no more free country on earth than Eng
land. Politically the people are in power actually as well as ostensibly. For
several years the liberal government has ruled and at its head are the great
est and best men alive on this universe. Behind them are the masses and some
of the classes of the British people and legislature has recently been enacted
that places Britain in the forefront of free nations. In that government are
Asquith. Lloyd George, the younger Gladstone. Birrell, Churchill—all men
who have become by great study and great experience imbued with the am
bition to make England really free. There were also in that government
John Burns and the noblest Roman of them all. John Morley, the right hand
man of the Great Gladstone who saw centuries ahead and sent his nation on
the right road before he died full of honor. But this Morley and this Burns
men who lived only to do what is right—Morley, who was to Gladstone what
Patrocles was to Achilles—resigned from the cabinet as a protest against
the war. Their reasons were never really given but when two such men ob
ject to the war there must have been some very strong and patriotic cause.
But the question is how if these great and liberal Liberals have been in
power for many years sailors could be sent out to meet the powerful Ger
man guns with nothing to defend their lives hut baby weapons.
Winston Churchill is the real head of the admiralty. He is the cabinet j
minister in charge of the British fleets. But under him are a lot of miserable
fogeys who received their appointments through pull and nothing else. While
the first lord of the Admiralty, Churchill, holds his place only temporarily
the first sea lord, like Battenherg. and the others are permanent officials and
really go on for ever no matter what political leader comes and goes.
These permanent officials of the admiralty, like the permanent officials
of the other departments received their appointment chiefly because they
lire members of socially elevated families. Nothing on earth Can remove them
as long as there is no war to show them up and to bring down the ire of the
people and there they stay like the Barnacle family of which Dickens speaks—
the family that “stuck to their posts to the last and died with drawn sal
aries in their hands."
That is the chief curse still hampering Great Britain. W hile the people
are politically free they are still governed subtly to a incalculable extent by
men who have not been chosen by the people and who care so little about the
l*eople that the sacrifice of brave British lives is as nothing if the man with
the pull can hold his job.
PARIS, Nov. 15.—French trad3 ag
gregating 1,800,000,000 f rams or
$360,000,000 a year is throwiwinto the
market as a result of the war. Such
was the total value of goods purchas
ed by France last year from Germany
and Austria, the balance of trade be
ing in favor of Germany to-the
amount of 205,000,000 francs and in;
favor of Austria to the amount of 54,
000,000 francs.
Local committees are being oraniz*
ed with a view to placing this business
to the best advantage. The committee
of Industrial and Commercial Defence
is taking up the interests of small
manufacturers, who have not been in
touch with the foreign consumer in a
way to enable them to make new con
nections directly. Proposals are being
made to English business organiza
tions with a view to an exchange of
visits in the two countries of repre
sentatives of commercial and indus
trial concerns. The importance of this
work to the United States may be un
derstood from the fact that the pur
chases from Germany last year there
were 177,000,000 francs in machinery,
while France purchased from the
United States only 57,000,000 francs
in this line. Germany supplied 103,
000,000 francs in cereals while the
United States supplied 35,000,000.
Another committee is being formed
to consider the question of hotels
which are, to a great extent, in the
hands of Germans, while those con
ducted by Frenchmen had mostly Ger
man and other foreign employees.
One proposition is to establish a num
ber of hotel schools, such as the one
already in operation at Thonon, where !
every branch of the hotel business is
taught practically. French hotel keep
ers in Paris have organized schools of
languages for their younger employe
es in order to tit them to take the
place of Germans, as the question of
languages has always been a weak
point with French employees.
LONDON, Nov. 13, Nuremburg has

soon as they become proficient they |
are put at piece work which yields j
them a better income.

PARIS, Nov. 12.—“One hundred
and fifty thousand Germans buried
under the rocks of the Aisne quarries”
and “thirty thousand,” forty thou
sand” and from there up to “a hun
dred and thirty thousand prisoners,”
such are the stories circulating in
Paris from to day, added to many
other equally startling during the
days preceding, and which will no
doubt be followed by other even more
sensational, as long as the censor
keeps the public hungering for
authentic news.
One effect of so many false rumors
is to make the truth sometimes sus
pected. On the other hand they throw
so much uncertainty about news in
general as to make serious newspaper
men occasionally doubt as to the bund
ling of some reports that in normal
times would be dismissed summarily.
Recently an authenticated report,
through a reliable agency, came from
Antwerp concerning the death of
Pi nee Adalbert from a German bullet j
wound. Though the name of a prom
inent Brussels surgeon was given in
connection with the names of two
German sugeons w'ho aided him in
forming an autopsy on the Russian
Prince, Paris papers hesitated to
handle it; as to the American cor- j
respondents, they are still uncertain ^
whether the story got pdst the censor.
BASEL, Switzerland, Nov.13.—The.
mountain war going on in the Vosges
has brought into action one of the
most interesting bodies of French
troops, the Alpine Chasseurs. They
are finely built, powerful men, speei-1
ally equipped for the mountains. They
are dressed in hob-nailed boots, wool
en leggings and navy-blue uniforms.
They are almost invisible in the dark
pine forests.
A favorite stratagem in their fight-;
ing is to occupy positions in the)
branches of the trees cleverly masked
and so securely arranged that even a
wounded or dead man does not fall, j
Another device of the French Alpine
troops is for a part of them, secreted ;
in the branches, to hold their rifle fire j
untff German troops have passed well;
into a wood, and then to fire upon j

LONDON, Nov. 13.—Although the
Empress Eugenie is almost 89 years
old, she is taking the greatest interest
in the war and has set aside an entire
wing of her house at Farnborough
Hill for the use of wounded officers.
Several injured officers are now re
cuperating there and their aged host
ess personally supervises their care.
Her estate is near the great camp at
Aldershot, which King George and
Queen Mary visit frequently. Practi-j
cally all of Empress Eugenie's men
servants have joined the army in
France. Nevertheless she entertains
many of the distinguished military:
men who visit Aldershot, apologizing
for her plain fare and explaining that
her cooks have more important work
now than preparing food for an aged
empress and her guests.
