By Cable to The - BERLIN, M. —It does nbt mat- ter whether the next German chancel- lor is called Marx, Tirpitz, Stegewald or anybody elsc. It would certainly be Tirpitz but for fear his name might endanger the effect of the Dawes agreement and the all important ’ Toan. Tirpitz is seizure of Kiochau. struction of the German navy, for re- fusing a reasonable ratio agreement with England, for the blockade and for unrestricted submarine warfare and the sinking of passenger ships. The mere fact that this cunning old fellow, who was Wilhelm's helper in 11 his mischief, can be seriously dis- cussed for the chancellorship shows to what pass the republic has come in its sixth year. The strongest argu- ment against Tirpitz is his inborn hatred of England, which increases as he grow older. Yet even this argument is not decisive for the wise alfed ministers would rather nego- tiate directly with the wildest Na- tionalist leaders than with politicians who tremble at those leaders’ every frown. responsible for German for speedy con- England’s Strength. England, at the head of the Brit- ish empire, Is so strong that she could afford to smile beningantly at a whole squadron of Tirpitzes since they could never seeretly reconstruct the German nav This is the outstanding fact a M. Poincare quits the political stage. England is again master of Europe, with power perhaps more absolute than in the seven decades between Trafalgar and Sedan. As long as the radical - sociall majority rules France, England has nothing to fear from the European continent. Strength can afford to be generous. Iy may Jubaland without payment and may make treaties with the Czechs and Jugoslavs The little entente may admit Poland to its circle. All this omly serves the well arranged interests of the British emplre. Americans can scarcely appreciate the situation unless they can imagine Japanese Influence penetrating deep into the American continent on every side and constantly acting as arbiter in Incal jealousies, playing each locali s vital interests as her trumph cards. Al German govern- ments have failed in their primary duty, “which ~ was direct agreement with France, All of Germany’s deal- ings with France come via London, inclosed In the ame envelope with neo-Wilsonism, now named MacDonald and’ Herriot, ‘but it is the old Pax Brittanica with its balance of power between jealous continental factions and England using the league of nations as her scepter. Imposxible to Prosper. As Europe can hever presper under such a regime, the belief grows that only new wars can clear up the situation. Small states already are ecking 'protective alliances, but mis- takenly, for if war breaks out again in the west it will be fought with the weapons of physics and chemistry, and army headquarters will be the laboratory, Under vast concrete tructions, with miles of gallerfes, clothed in rubber and hiding their shame>behind gas masks,” will move about gigantic power stations whence projectiles of quartz, which alone will resist their deadly cheml- cals, will be hurle That's what the next war will be iike, and small countries, if they set earnestly about sclentlfic research, coi be as powerful as. blg ones. David may easily conquer Goliath. Even in the last war Dutch pro- fessors who provided the western powers with munitions and Prof. Haber, whose nitrogen saved German agriculture and -also made gas war possible, were almost more important than strategists. The generals of the next war must resemble Edison more than Foch, and prudent nations should even nmow put their war de- partments in charge of physio- chemists. Those who, looking back at the anclent cultures of Egypt and Hellas, lose thelr belief in progress, can find it here in our sclentific barbarian. For mind will conquer howitzers, and the inventor's brain unaided will con- quer massed battalions. ? It is a pity that the brain is supreme in war alone. If, we could put it on our thrones, pejce would no longer be in danger. The official communique said there had never been any question of ex- pulsions “en bloc.” Foreigners were always surveilled by the police and those among them who failed to com- ply with the regulations would be e: pelled. The rumors referred particu- larly to American negroes working as musicians and waiters in all-night stablishments. —_— And “Flaming Sunsets.” rom Life. (Copyright, 1924.) Amber Valuable Gum.

LONDON, May 31.—The new sensa- tion in the Rus v case, fur- nished by the sion of the House of legitimate Ampthill peerage | Lundon to th d of censoring press reports of such cases. During the trial of the divorce aation in the lower court the newspapers published the most intimate detalls of the martial relations of the baby's parents. The decision of the House of Lords, from which there is no appeal, is the latest phase of the unprecedented battle which has been proceeding in the courts for two years. Russell, whose father is Lord Ampthill. denies paternity, but failed in his first action to get a divorce. In the second action he secured a verdict, which now is set aside by the decision of the House of Lords. The legal costs of this action are enormous, and when the much liti- gated baby arrives at the House of Lords to take his seat he probably will find the family fortunes have been-impoverished in the attempt to prove it had no right there. This case fs what was termed the “dream baby case” at the time of the trial, when it was given widespread publicity in the United States as well as in England. Russell contended that he was not the father of the child of nis wife Christabel.
