HE reply of the United States to the Imperial German Govern- ment’s proposal that the Prussian-American treaties of 1799 and 1785 be reaffirmed and strengthened is plain enoug’) to leave no doubt in the German mind as to how this nation continues to regard unkept promises and broken pledges. “In view of the clear violations of the plain terms of the treaties in question, solemnly concluded on the mutual understanding that the obligations thereunder would be faithfully kept,” the American note declares, “in view further of the disregard of the canons of interna- tional courtesy and the comity of nations in the treatment of Ameri can citizens in Germany, the Government of the United States cannot perceive any advantage which would flow from further engagements, even though they were merely declaratory of international law, en- tered into with the Imperial German Government in regard to the} meaning of any of the articles of these treaties, or as supplementa.y to them.” In undiplomatic language: What’s the use of overhauling agree ments with a lying Government whose proved policy is not to keep! them? The Government of the United States can be relied upon to violate no principle of international law or of common humanity in its treatment of the 800,000 Germans in this country. It is not the! ‘American way to shut up or otherwise mishandle law-abiding persons on the bare chance that they might turn out to be traitors. | The experience Germany has given us in dealing with conspira tore and spies will not be lost on us.

No. 18.—DAVID FARRAGUT; the ‘Failure’ Who Becamea Hero. UNITED STATES naval officer, in 1848, was ordered home from the front. He came back in disgrace and on the unwritten “black list” of the navy. Friends prophesied that his career was at an end, It had not been much of a career, at that. For, though he had entered the navy at th of ten, yet at forty-seven he had advanced only to the captaincy of a little sloop-of-war. And now even this small command was taken from him. He was shelved to an unimportant routine job im the Norfolk Navy Yard. The forty-seven-year-old failure was David Farragut. He had never had the chance, in the navy, that bis genius deserved. At the outbreak of the Mexican War he pleaded in vain for many months before he could get leave to take @ ship to the front. And even when permission came he was assigned only to the little war sloop Saratoga ‘and was put under the command of Commodore Matthew Perry. Let Farragut tell, in his own words, the sorry tale of this campaign: “Of all the service 1 bad seen since entering the navy,” he writes in his journal, “this cruise was the most mortifying. As I had the ill-will of @® my commodore (Matthew Perry) I was not permitted to participate tn any of the expeditions and more honorable duties, but was placed under @ reef of rocks off Tuxpan, to blockade that port. | “When I could bear the imposition no longer I | reported tho facts to the Navy Department. * * * Accordingly, | was ordered home, My letters were considered improper by the Secretary of the Navy.” At Norfolk for the next few years Farragut was left to brood over his own rashness, Ho was nearly fifty when he went to Norfolk. He was tn the bad graces of his superiors, There’seemed no future for him, He was {a Failure, But he hung on. After employing him for minor routine jobs the Department tn 1854" sent him to Caljfornia to establish @ navy yard there, In 1868 bo was | brought back to ®he Atlantic coas During his period of offical disgrace Farragut was studying his pre- fession night and day, And that study was soon to bring its reward. The Civil War broke out. Farragut won still more unpopularity at Norfolk for stoutly indorsing every move of President Lincoln's, For nearly @ year | his entreaties for active service were ignored. Then he was bidden to scrape together a “scratch” flotilla, His further orders r "Proceed up the Mississippi River and reduce the defenses which guard the approaches to New Orleans—when you will appear off that elty and take possession of it under the guns of your squadron, * * © The Department and the country require of you success!” : | The rest is history—glorious history. With his small flotilla Farragut sailed up the Mississipp!, One Confederate river fort after another h nashed into submission, He brushed aside an opposing Confederate fleet; rrr, he swept every obstacle before him, Our Meve'e { A thousand drawbacks hampered the expedition.

River triumph was but the first of many. Before the Civil War ended Farragut was a national hero. In 1866 Congress created the grade of Admiral (never before used In our navy) in order to give that rank to David Farragut—the man who five years earlier had beea looked jou as a Failure.
