Sacrifice is the noble trait which has helped the world advance, which has brought men from smallness to greatness. Sacrifice is what brought the great nations of the world to commanding positions. Sacrifice is | what makes ambitious boys develop into successtul men. No great achleve- ment was ever accomplished without sacrifice.

But shortly after that declaration was first made in 1914 the little rag doll of Europe, Belgium, recelved its first assault from the mailed fist. The scrap of paper was torn up and Belgian neutrality violated. . A re- affirmation of these same doctrines at this time will be of no avail. The world at large is suspicious of Ger- many, has been for some time. The Entente Allies have gone too far to stop at meaningless suits for peace. The nations that make up the enemies of Germany will want some better guarantees of sincerity than those that come from the Imperial throne of Germany, or from a Reichstag whose skirts are not entirely cleared of the dust from the House of Hohenzollern, or from a chancellor without a “von” in front of his name who may be placed at his post by the personal dictates of the Kaiser rather than by the people. We are not sure of what is go- ing on in Germany. That is true. We are sure of this much, however, and the signs are easily read: The German people have not yet taken a hand in the situation as the world outside Germany hopes the German people will. Without wishing to tell the German people just how they should run their own Government the world at large has come to the belief that until the German people have something to say in the matter of government there can be no peace with Germany. The Entente Allies are fighting the Imperial Government. TUntil that Government is responsible to the German people in a greater degree and less to the Kaiser it cannot be a party to peace proposals. brutal German FACTS AND FANCIE!

All, however, are agreed that it indicates a crisis Germany of unprecedented ance. As might be expected the in import- phrase ment, and some of the journals trace the Chancellor's downfall back to his early-in-the-war utterance. The “‘Pe- tit Parisien’ ’is one of the newspapers that are not optimistic over the devel- opment saying: “Through ‘the Chancellor changes, the German masters remain the same. It is they, and not the retiring func- tionary, who desited the war, to satis- fy their appetite for universal domin- ation. In what measure may they have changed their minds, and are they capable of speaking up now for peace? Just in such measure as they realize that victory has escaped them and that defeat is approaching; in such measure as the intolerable sufferings of their hungry peoples are growing. ‘“Bethmann-Hollweg is being dis- missed because of his declarations and mistakes at the beginning of the war, but his successor will be no less bound by his acts and words than was this docile functionary, who never dared to take the Initiative. Bethmann-Holl- weg would never have been disavowed had the hopes of his masters been realized by victory. He who gets his portfolio will inherit his burden and the same insurmountable difficulties.” “Beginning of End?” “Le Journal” savs: ‘“The Chancellor was so accustomed to let things by that he seems to be surprised to find himself at the bottom of the abyss. His famous exclamation, ‘A scrap of pa- per!” which many thought to be only a cynical utterance, now echoes like a cry of distress. It seems now as though Bethmann-Hollweg had fore- seen the catastrophe.!” In the view of “IL’Homme Enchaine” the Chancellor’s retirement marks the heginning of a tragic era for Germany. It pictures an immense black gulf yawning beneath the feet of the great militarized nation, and terms Chancellor a man of straw. The “Action Francaise” savs the Chancellor's departure indicates the depth to which the Germans have de- scended in their spirit of violence and ambition. ‘“‘One can rightly * it continues, ‘that there is a crisis in Germany to- day, but the crisis is the opposite of { what was expected. It is not the Left, it is_the Right; it is not revolution, | but reaction, that has brought it about.” “Libre Parole” says: ‘“The ‘scrap of paper’ has finished by strangling Beth- mann-Hollweg. That is perhaps the sole thing that appears clearly through the obscurity of the German crisis. Liberated long ago by the war party, the Chancellor made a supreme effort to hook up with the peace party. The latter has rejected him, not because it doubted his malleability—all his ca- reer showed he possessed that—but because it considered him comprom!s- ing” Machine Running Down. The “Gaulois” concludes its rather biographical article with the words: “And there is the war machine, long oiled and burnished, no longer running as it had been expected it would: and there in the Reichstag itself are tact- less men demanding that the promises of the government be not treated by him (Bethmann-Hollweg) like ‘scraps of paper’. There was terrible fateful- ness in these words, and finally the day approaches when his simple little | serap of paper, tossed on the one side of the scale, is beginning to weigh all by itself more than the entire credit of Germany.” Nearly all the newspapers comment on the singular coincidence that Dr. von Bethmann-Hollweg's career as Chancellor ended on an anniversary of the day it began—July 14. The “Temps’ says: ‘Functionary replaces a functionary. A place cut out for a leader remains intrusted to the performer of anoth- er's will." The "Tsmns“ thinks Dr. Michaelis superior to his predecessor on two points—he has been successful and has character. His success has been shown in his position as Food Com- missioner, his character is shown by his speech last March in the Prussi chamber, from which the “Temps quotes the following: ‘“No one shall make me swerve. 1 would not accept an office which would be but an edge- less sword."” All Distrusted Chancellor. Von Bethmann-Hollweg's fall, ac- cording to the “Temps” was under unanimous reprobation, due to contra- dictory motives. “The greater part of Germany, ing peace’ continues the paper “drives him out, hecause he is branded with having made the war. Other Germans, atill desiring conquests, drive him out because they suspect he no longer wishes any conquests. The Emperor, who maintained him in office as a cov- er for himself, now andons him save himself. Justice i out illusions, but with legitimate faction, we register its first step. After analyzing Germany's meas- ures increasing the army, which, it is contended, establish premediation on Germany’'s part, as these measures could not have been adopted without the Chancellor's personal intervention, the ‘Temps'" concludes: “History will say of him that he was a malefactor, but there are in Ger- a Some of the comment is jubilant, while other editors treat | ‘“scrap of paper” crops out in the com- | the| wish- | to | moving. With- | {1han he, | peace."” | The “Journal des Debats" says edi- | torially: “The importance of the change does not consist in the substi- tution of persons, but in the cause which made it impossible to retain the retiring Chancellor. In letting von Bethmann-Hollweg go the Kaiser dis- credits himself confessing thereby that he was mistaken in provoking the | war. He has been unable to direct it, and is driven toward peace without | profit, without glory. The imperial | policy has reached bankruptey; it must be liquidated.” REAR-AD. EMORY DIES AT NEWPORT who are an obstacle t Retired Navy Leader Leayes: Enviable Record Behind Newport, R. L. July 16.—After be- | ing in poor health for two years Rear Admiral William Mensley | Emory, retired, died at the Newport hopital vesterday. He and Mrs. FEmory came here at the beginning of the summer to spend the season as had been his custom, but his illness required him to be removed to the ! hospital recently. Rear-Admiral Emory, when in active service. held many important 'posts. His body has been taken to the U. S. S. Constella- | tlon where it will remain until the | funeral on Tuesday. ! i After a service at St. Joseph's | church the body will be taken to | ‘Washington for burial in the National ,‘ cemetery. | Rear-Admiral Emory, whose record | | of twenty-three years of active_sea | service was exceeded by few officers | of his time, was born in Washington, | D. C., December 17, 1846, and was | appointed to the Naval Academy by President Lincoln in 1862. As a mid- | shipment in the summer "of 1863 he | served on the Macedonian in pursuit | of the confederate crulser Tacony. | Following his graduation he was | aboard the Savannah, Iroquois and Mammee, and in 1870 was assigned to | the observatory in Washington. i In 1871 he sailed on the Relief, | bearing stores for the famine suffer- | ers in France, and the following year, | when he was but 26 years of age, he.| was placed in command of the Palos. Shortly afterward on the Colorado and the flagship Lackawanna he saw service in the far east., The years 1874 to 1876 were spent as flag lieu- tenant to Admiral Worden on the European station and aid to Admiral Jenkins at the centennial exhibition. On President’s Staff. Following two vears of duty as in- structor at the Naval Academy, he was made flag lieutenant on Admiral Howell's flagship Trenton on the Eu- ropean station and later executive of- ficer on the Wyoming. In 1880 he was | appointed on the staff of President Arthur at the Yorktown celebration and then attached to Admiral Porter's | staff. In 1884, when Schley was given the command of the Baer and ordered to rescue Greeley from the frozen North, Emory was chosen as his lieutenant, and when the expedition returned af- ter its memorable experience in the Arctic regions Schley had only the highest words of praise for him. In 1885 Emory commanded the presi- dent’s yacht, the Despatch, going from her to the Thetis for special ser- vice in the North Pacific. Promotion to lieutenant-commander came in 1887, and two years later he made naval attache at the Court of St. James. After four years in London he returned to active duty at sea as commander of the Petrel, serving in the East Indies and in the north China seas guarding the seal fisheries and protecting American in- terests at Yen Kow, Manchuria, in the Chinese-Japanese war. Returning from Asiatic service in 1897 he was appoint- | ed a member of the board of inspec- tion and survey. Brave Deed in Wa When the Spanish-American war broke out.

F., July 16.—Prepara= tions were made here today for the arrival of the 900 passengers of tha Norwegian-American liner Kris- tainiafjord, which ran ashore yester- day seven miles west of Cape Race. Latest advices indicated that the crew remained aboard the steamer, which was badly damaged. Three of the holds were full of water but itj was thought that if the sea regained” calm there was a possibility of saving the vessel. The stranding of the steamer is supposed to have been due, to the dense fog. She was bound from New York for Norway had been examined by the British authorities at Halifax. The men passengers boarded a spe~ cial train at Portugal Cove for this (° city, while 120 women passengers were taken aboard the coasting steamer Sable which was due to reach here about midnight. Messages from the Capt. said the Kristianiafjord was not considered ; hopelessly damaged, though three of her holds were full of water. steamers were standing by ready to assist in an attempt to pull her off . the ledge. E Among .the first cabin passengers on the Kristianiafjord was Heinrich Schauffhausen, a representative of Count von Bernstorff, former German Ambassador to the United States. Schauffhausen was ordered deported by the American State Dept. and was escorted aboard the steamer by ; agents of the department just before she sailed from New York. The Kristianiafjord left July 7 and proceeded ‘to Canadian port,” where she was passed by the British block- ade authorities. She left the Canadi- an port Friday afternoon. The vessel carried a general cargo of 6,000 tons, mostly provisions. Word was received at the local of- fices of the Norwegian-American LAn## at 8 and 10 Bridge Street, last night. . that the Kristianiafjord had been wrecked on the Newfoundland cosst in a fog The vessel, in charge of Captain S. C. Hjartdahl, carried & .crew of between 275 and 300 men. All passengers were safely ! landed. There were ninety-three in the first; cabin.
