Want Berlin Eliminated from Route of the Aerial Race

(Special Cable from the International News Service.) BY STEVE BURNETT. Berlin, April 22. Hard upon the heel of the German denunciations of the French foreign legion, which has always been a thorn in the flesh of Germany, came a similar Chauvinistic outbreak In France protesting against including the city of Berlin in the route of the great international aerial race from Paris to Berlin. Brussels, London and back to Paris which had been arranged by prominent Knglish and French newspapers. The argument used in France to have the German part of the rate eliminated were purely patriotic, but there is a general impression here that the true reason for French hostility is to be sought less in ixjlitical than in commercial fears. It is said here that the French are afraid that Germany will gain moat of the advantages, and the accusation made by Frenchmen, that Germany succesfully, but improperly, imitated French inventions at the time of the first great international automobile race is now called to mind. The jealous t ry that the German operatic stage is flooded with American artists has long been been heard, loudly in Berlin, and not quite so loudly in the other kingdoms and states. It became official a short time ago when a member of the Prussian diet, Kopschy by name, violently attacked the general intendant of the royal opera and playhouse Count Von llulscnEneseler, for maladministration generally and engaging an undue number of foreign singers especially. The general Intendant's reply took the form of a dramatic scene on the stage, when he collected the opera company, four or five hundred strong, made a speech denying Kopscy's allegations and fact that he had tendered his resignation to the kaiser, and that the kaiser had refused to accept it. Kopschy's charge, that the royal opera is flooded with Americans, was shown to be an exaggeration and that only seven artists of this nationality are engaged. This, it must be admitted, is rather a high figure, considering that the total number of first rate artists at tho opera seventeen in all. Kopschky might have added that there are American artists engaged at every one of the royal and niunlciital operas in Germany. Police President von Jagow seems desirous of making some sort of amendment for the troubles endured by the foreign correspondents at Moabit. He has promised at least a partial distribution of passe-partouts on the Parisian model, and the other day he consented to a close examination of the Berlin police system by foreign Journalists, who were invited in two batches on succeeding days to visit the police "Praesidium," Berlin's Scotland Yard. To each batch a lecture was delivered by a high functionary, Commissary Hoppe, describing in a vivid and Informative style the main features of the system followed. It Is Impossible in a paragraph to repeat all the points of the lecture, but it may be said that nine hundred officers are employed in the building, working in half that number of rooms and deal ing with an average of a million cases, more or less serious, each year. In the city proper are thirteen "cap tains" superintending a network of OPEII OTEVEIIIIIGS Treasurer's Office Open Un til 8:30 During Week.

sub-stations, and all, ot course, connected telephonically with the Praesidium. The three main branches are the departments designated "criminal," dealing with ordinary crime; "security," dealing with insanitary, ill-treatment of children, fire incidents, and so on; and "public morals," which explains itself and covers a range of immonality of which ordinary mortals have not the faintest idea. Both the Bertillion anthropometric system of bodily measurements and the dactyloscopical system of fingerprints were shown in operation with the1 help of a convict temporarily relieved from his daily task of "doing time." The finger-print system, we were told comes from China where for ages past the practice of signing agreements by usLng the ball of the thumb as a seal has been known, and, according to Commissioner Hoppe, will in' the near future supersede both the anthropometric and photographic methods. Not by any means the least interesting and appaiing part of the visit was an inspection of the criminal museum. Hideous death-masks in wax with their gaping wounds: a box containing Nihilist bombs with clockwork to explode them; a trunk with two thick tubes of compressed gas for driving a safe-breaking drill; a common walking stick apparently, but so fashioned that a pressure on the handle caused a number of murderous looking triangular blades to spring out along its length and suggest the apeparance of a swordfish these were only a few of the objects presented.

In spite of the news which was received from the antarctic regions some three weeks ago, that a regular race for the South Pole between Captain Scott and Mr. Roa'id Amundsen will take place in a few months, Lieutenant Filschner of the Bavarian army loader of the German antarctic expedition still thinks he has a good chance of winning. When I saw him today he said that there was room and glory enough for several expeditions in the frozen South and that he would 6tart as scheduled on May 2nd. After years of agitation the Prussian government has introduced a bill authorizing cremation as a substitute for earth burial. Catholic Germany is up in arms against the measure.' Cremation, it declares, is un-Christian, for the rule of the church has always been that the dead are to rest in their graves till the Day of Judgment. How is it in reality? The discussion has elicited the fact that in the bulk of German cemeteries the dead are not allowed more than from fifteen to twenty-five years of undisturbed repose. The practice known as "Turmus" is observed, which means that graves cannot be bought in perpetuit save at enormous expense, but are usually leased for twenty-five years. At the end of the time the remains are removed fro mtheir "last" resting place and hurried into ossaria (bone repositories) or huddled together pell-mell in a common pit. In some places .the bones are reduced to ashes, so that many of those who in life protested against cremation are cremated themselves. The vacant grave is let to a new tenanf. In Hamburg, where the "Turmus" period is short, one may read on the headstone of a humorist: "Behold my resting place for the next fifteen years." be open next week each evening from 7 to 8:30 o'clock, according to announcement by Albert" Albertson, treasurer. During the week the office wifl be closed during the noon hour, or from 12 to a little after 1 o'clock. The rush of the .tax paying season has made these orders compulosory both for the accommodation of the public and in order to permit the treasurer and deputies arranging their work.

WASHINGTON'S TREES. From the Baltimore American. To save the trea is even more important than to replace the ones that are cut down or burned down, leaving vast denuded spaces. The general range of reforestration as it relates to the national preserves and the forestry work of that division of the agricultural department may be left to itself. The interest of the average person is in the trees that grow upon his place, that adorn his 6treet or roadway, that are a part of the immediate landscape of his place of dwelling. Every intelligent community has some form of law for the, protection of trees. Absence of this kind of legislation denotes that the community Is lacking in broad intelligence. The necessity for such legislation is coming more and more to be appreciated as the ravages and wastefulnesses of American methods have tended to deplete the original forests and to leave towns and cities bare, because the ones who build houses have no other thought for trees than as so much timber. In some communities practically everywhere among the forward nations of Europe no one is permitted to destroy a tree except by special license. He who lays the ax at the ! root of the tree without specific war rant is made to feel the penalty of tho law. Perhaps nowhere is the value of trees so much insisted upon and the results 60 gratifying as in Washington. Here is the most beautiful city of America, the city of wide streets, made beautiful largely by the fact that the streets and avenues are lined with trees that are not private property and that the householder dare not injure or destroy. The trees of the capital of the nation ate scientifically planted, pruned and during the heated months when the enemies of plant life are at work they are sprayed. CHINA'S NEW LOAN. From the Philadelphia Ledger. China's new loan of $50,000,000 for the inauguration of currency reform and for the development of Manchuria, the ratification of which was announced from Peking, has a significance which is measured neither by the magnitude of the amount of money involved, by the immediate purposes to which it is to be put, nor even so far as the United States is concerned by the participation of our government in a financial arrangement of this sort with the Chinese imperial officials. The real importance of the diplomatic achievement, for which the credit must be given to Secretary Knox, lies in thejoint participation in the undertaking by Great Britian, France, Germany and the United States, a co-operation which tightens the bonds so skillfully woven by American diplomacy for the protection of the political integrity of China.

Ill PLASTER CAS FOR FIVE YEARS Child Recovers Partial Use of Paralyzed LimbsWill Graduate Soon.

New York, April 22. After being incased in a plaster cast from shoulders to feet for five years, Annie Horan, 12 years old, is now one of the happiest pupils in public school No. 27, on Forty-Second and Third avenues, from which she will be graduated next winter. When the little girl entered the hospital of the Society for the Relief of Ruptured and Crippled Children, Forty-Second street and Park avenue, over five years ago, she was paralyzed and practically dead from her waist down. While there she was the especial care of Dr. Virgil P. Gibneey, the surgeon in chief, to whom she owes it that, although she must use crutches, she has control of tlje muscles and

tendons that five years ago were inert and useless. Child Hides Sufferings Paralysis is rarely attended with pain, but the child must have suffered excrutiating agony, for her useless muscles were knotted and gnarled. Nevertheless, accustomed to pain almost from babyhood, she had developed the faculty of repression to such a degree that even her mother never knew how much she suffered. The patient entered the hospital on Sept. 26, 1905. The preliminary diagnosis was that she was suffering from spinal disease. The frail body wast swathed in cotton batting from the neck down. Then broad lined bandages saturated with plaster ot pans were wrapped around her until she was completely encased. Her head and arms were free and space between the bandage and thorax left so that the lungs might act. The rest of the body became perfectly immovable. A massage treatment was begun to coax the muscles into activity and was continued after the beginning of the removal of the plaster bandage. The setting of the plaster cast diminished the child's pain materially and, wheeled about like a statue, she be-" came a member of the hospital school.
