HOPE PRINCE HENRY WILL COME OVER

GRAFT IN GERMANY

Claim Mad: That There Is but Little of It There. City Officials Are Exemplary—Reason for Commotion Caused by the Krupp Revelations—Views of Well-Known Journalist.

Berlin, Germany.—The wave of displeasure among Germans which followed the Krupp revelations in the reichstag was due more to the innate abhorrence of corruption than to the importance of the revelations themselves. Long and stinging editorials have been written pointing to the incriminating fact that Krupp’s Berlin agent was paid a salary of $2,500 a year, with an expense account of $1,250, and it has been considered sufficient cause for very acrid denunciations to know that some subalterns have received Christmas presents of $25. To an American, these sums are beneath notice and smack of a scandal beneath the county commissioners of some forgotten countryside. “A German official would rather commit murder or blow safes than to hold out his hand in an official capacity," said a well-known German journalist—-who writes “agin the government” —in explaining what seemed a phenomenal disturbance over a very small matter. “There may be more behind the Krupp affair than the public knows. Personally, I have little doubt that if the whole truth were known some would be implicated who hold titles of considerable more importance than subalterns. But that there has been, as you call it, ‘petty’ graft Is enough for the Germans. The inside story of the Krupp affair will never be known, but the general public does not even need to suspect it to feel outraged.”

“But you have vice in Berlin, and it is more open than in Paris, if that is possible,” was suggested to him. “You think that Is prima facie evidence of corruption?” he asked. "Absolutely impossible! Ausgeschlossen! In Germany it is an honor to be an officii/ City administrators are chosen for their ability, and the man who was convicted of dishonesty would be a pariah. The mayor of Berlin believes In restricted vice. * He says the tourists want It, and so'he satisfies the want. And he believes that It is easier to control if it runs openly. Consequently one of the most immoral of European amusement palaces Is openly conducted on a principal downtown street, and advertises in all theatrical journals and on the pillars. But that there is money in it for the officials! You don’t understand us. "Of course, now and then a member of the morals police will hold out his hand. That Is to be expected. They have thousands of women under control, and a large force is needed to watch them. But graft as you understand the word!” And he laughed uproariously. Then he went on to explain. "When a large German city loses its mayor It Is as though some great manufacturing enterprise had lost its chief engineer. There is immediate response. Municipal experts all over the nation who have had experience apply for the vacancy. It doesn’t matter if the applicant is resident of the city pr not. He may have made a surprisingly good record as mayor of some smaller city, or he may have been assistant to the last mayor. And when he is elected it is on his record and not for his party alliances. Party hasn’t anything to do with It. That hits off the ideal of, officialdom in Germany. “The great crying need in Germany now is self-government, and the gseatest obstacle in the way of It Is good government It it were not Tor the

idealism among officials the people’s parties would sweep the polls. But as It Is, it is hard to get out 30 per cent, of the vote except for the reichstag. The Germans let well enough alone. They will never overthrow the antiquated German system of government until they suffer from it immeasurably. If Germany should get into a war and be beaten it might result in a republic. If militarism goes too far and demands too much money from the people it might come to a great popular uprising. And if a great system of graft were exposed the people would demand a change. But just now democracy’s greatest foe is efficient bureaucracy. We have good streets, efficient police, plenty of parks, sanitation, hospitals. But we haven’t the strength of national action, and that is what we must have before we are the greatest people in the world.”

The ONLOOKER

HENRY HOWLAND

PROGRESS <9/"JOHN HENRf

John Henry used to have one thought Which urged him onward every day; One thing and one thing only brought Him gladness on his lonely way; To be some richer every night Than he had been the night before He schemed and strove with ail his might, Content to ask for nothing more; But when his gaze met Mary Jana’s He ceased to think of wordly gains. And found the essence of delight In humbly learning to adore.

John Henry, starting life anew. Considered Mary Jane a queen; The troubles that he had were few. He toiled for her and was serene; He strove with all the might he had. But not because of selfishness; His purpose was to make her glad. And nothing more and nothing less, Of Mary Jane he thought and dreamed. For Mary Jane he worked and schemed, And only sighed when she was sad, And for her pleasure sought supcess.

Jotin Henry rose one morning when The frost was white upon the grass And hurried forth to tell all men A wonder that had come to pass; The stork had brought a little child To bear the name John Henry bore; And those who heard John Henry smiled. His rivals hated him no more: And, thanking God, John Henry found It sweet to pass good cheer around. John Henry, when the storm is wild. Hears hopeful music in its roar.

Wronged.

“How long have you been married?* asked the judge. “Two weeks,” replied the lady. “And you want to be divorced so soon? Why, you haven’t given him a chance to show you what kind of a man he is. You may like him when you come to know him.” "No, judge, I shall never like him, no matter how well I may learn to know him. He told me that his income was $5,000 a. year, and I gave up alimony of $l5O a month to marry him. Now J find that his salary is only S4O a week, and I shall never forgive him—never!”

Large Population.

“No, I don’t believe I shall locate here. I prefer a town with a larger population.” “If a large population’s what you want,” replied the local boomer, "this is the very place for you. We have three women who weigh over 275 pounds each, and I’ll bet there ain’t another place of this size in the country that’s got as many six-foot men as we can show you right here.”

PURE WHITE FOR WARMEST DAYS

A SIDE from the comfort assured to the wearers of pure white apparel m, the dog days, the knowledge that it is refreshing to look at by sweltering fellow-beings weighs something in Its favor. Here are two exquisite hats, made for midsummer, that look as If they might be interpretations by the artist-milliner of soft, drifted snow or gleaming ice, translater into fabrics and thence Into head wear. A round, bonnet-like shape has the brim covered with a new material much like crepe de chine, but with less luster. It is called crepe Georgette. The small soft crown is a puff of moire satin as shimmering as ice. A moire ribbon encircles the crown and is tied In a bow on the under-brim. There la a large white marguerite daisy on the upper-brim at the back with a deep brown center. It is mounted in a few rose leaves from which trails also the palest of Marshall Nell roses extending two inches beyond the brim edge. Folds of snowy maline rept against the hair, supported by am under-brim which is really an extension of the crown. This beautiful conception belongs in that class of millinery to which the designer turns when possessed of the Airiest* of fancies* A white hemp shape trimmed with ribbon veiled with maline and finished with a pair of wings deserves a special interest. It is a peculiar shape with a poke-bonnet front and a brim that widens and rolls up at the back. Contrary to the popular mode of the season, which shows wings and quills mounted as in flight, these wings are poised as if at rest, which is exactly right for a hot-weather hat The wonderful coat of Irish-croehet lace has a daring touch on the sleeves. They are short puffs, not reaching to the elbow, and are finished with bands of dark brown fur. The idea is eccentric but perhaps intended to remind us of winter and cold weather in the midst of middle.summer heat. £ JULIA BOTTOMLEY.

FOR WEAR ON CAR OR BOAT

Crepe de Chine Dressing Gown Is the Most Practical Garment for the Traveler. The most serviceable and durable dressing gown for the traveler is made of some dark, inconspicuous, untransparent material. Crepe de chine is ideal for summer wear. -A dressing gown of this material in a dark color can be worn comfortably for months. It does not show oil easily, and when it is soiled it can be easily washed and will look as well after a trip to the laundry as before. A dark gown, besides the fact that it will not show soil so quickly as a light one, can be comfortably worn on the way to the bath on shipboard and in the corridors of hotel or pension. A gown of dark blue crepe de chine could be made with a little V-shaped vest of gathered cream or ecru net and with net undersleeves, or a ribbon sash in gay colors and futurist design could be used to give the somber gown a more interesting character.

NEEDLE BOOK TO FIT PURSE

With This Equipment Any Ordinary Mishap to Xlarment May Be Quickly Repaired. Almost any of the scraps of pretty silk ribbon that are in the family rag bag may be fashioned into a needle book small enough to go into the average sized purse without overcrowding the receptacle. At the inner side of one cover, which of course is mounted over thin cardboard, should be a tacked-down sheet of fine flannel in which may be stuck needles of several sizes, and at the inside of the opposite cover should be straps of the silk through which reels may be run. These reels, formed of silk-covered matches or toothpicks, should be wound with a few yard* of black and white sewing silk, blacx and white linen thread, black and white or tan silk floss, and, thus equipped, the shopper is prepared to repair any ordinary mishap to her garb.

Soft Bows or Lingerie.

Fastidious women have long been tired of the lingerie garments that are slotted for baby ribbon in all possible places, but the touch of color which the ribbon gives is introduced by single soft bows. On the newest French nightgowns there are two large but tonholes to be found at the front and through these is passed a soft wide ribbon which is tied in a bow. This is much less troublesome than threading ribbons through slots or stitching on a made bow.

Fan Again In Fashion.

Slimmer Than Ever.

Smart women of this season look slimmer than they have done for a long time. To secure the effect desired undergarments that add to the else are being dispensed with. To take the place of the abandoned petticoats the new muslin, which is very thin, crppons and other transparent materials, are being used, while some women who may be described as ultra-* fashionable have conceived a petticoat combination made out of woven silk which fits the hips closely.
