TALK AT I V I : A M 1 1 A SS A I ) 11 S. Official foreign rt-jincntativt s at Washington are approaching tho V re of trouhU , wo are afrail, with their mouths as th ir worst en ink; tome of thm through criticism of our Kovt-rnrnont. anl others through criticisms, or from speaking lightly of each other's governments. The ra es cf Ambasador Ji'.'.s rand, of France, and Count von Urrnstorff, Orrrnan ambassador arc particularly in point. For Instance, here's Juss-rand, Franco's ambassador, who k'1s e rx t i -mental over the subject of human liberty and. publicly teil.s the I). A. K. thij: The problem of human liberty will be solved now as it was solved in the trenches at Yorktown. If we rer.iembcr aright, th- srdution at Yorktown consisted of Americans knocking the day.Ights out of the Uritish. It is true that we gave the British an awful Ibkmg that time, and that human liberty was promoted thereb, but the lritish are at present allies of France, ami it's awful bad taste in Ambassador Jusserand to throw up that licking to his allies. If it id proper for French diplomats to harp on Ilritish defeats, it is proper for British diplomats to trot out defeats of the French, at Waterloo, for instance, and then where will the ally business wind up? M. Jusserand hag surely perpetrated a faux pas, if we know anything about French and the F.ritisher.s' di.-inclination to have lickings rubbed into them. He lias talked not wisely but too much. Now as to the case of count von Uernstorff : It would seem that only a policy of f elf-restraint and the great patience of the executive department of our government, could possibly be responsible for the (lerman ambassador still holding onto his job. Under ordinary conditions the count would hardly remain here another week, and it might be a good lesson to (Jermany and to certain German-Americans as well, if some such action were taken. He has done every tiling diplomatically to mke himself persona non grata, as the diplomats phraso it, and in any other time than the present, word would go to Ferlin in short order asking for the assignment of a new man to this post. I'res't Wilson, indeed, seems very anxious to avoid any occasion of offense to any of the warring nations and is stretching his neutrality to the utmost. It is not the recent note protesting against the export of arms which alone lias given offense, although that protot might have been worded in a much lejs offensive way. The discourtesy in lhat affair lay in making public this diplomatic note before even our secretary of state had seen it. ur government has had previously ample cause for cor.if'aint n account of the activity of the embassy here and its naval attache. Capt. lloyKd. in the t rathe in fraudulent passports, and the tarry on of spy work With llie embasy as headquarters and fund:; transmitted through diplomatic channels. This was taking advantage of the special ammunition and perogatives accorded to foreign diplomats to abuse our neutrality in aid of military operations. It is strongly suspected that the embassy had a hand in supplying information to its ships ly wireless in their sea-raiding operations and getting provisions to the roving cruisers while they were still at large. I-ately our government has had occasion to complain of the political activities of Mm l'ernstorff in putting out through newspaper channels quasi-diplomatic proposals on the subject of peace. This newspaper copy lias been Hot only inspired but dictated by -.he German ambassador, but when asked to authorize it or assume any diplomatic responsibility the ambassador has calmly denied any knowledge of it. The purpose m giving out the alleged peace overtures is regarded by the state department and by the president as purely political intended to influence public opinion in the United States --a thing: which an ambassador is supposed to scrupulously avoid. Ambassadors HernstortY and Jusserand have served their countries too successfully as diplomats, to allow themselves to run amuck in such times as the-c. It would be wellnigh a calamity for them to mar their splendid r cords merely by letting their enthusiasm carry tlum i ff into the realm of too much ab. kfpokis SAM !) 1 ok tiii: cj.Hji'i:.

Cfclco during the city campaign, or perhaps you could secure one by taking the matter before the mayor's very active board of advisors. otherwise, we suppose they will remain tucked away beneath something in the board of works oflice, and dealt out to citizens' party voters only. The pretended purpose, to bo sure, is to save. rdinarily such reports arc issue d for information to the public, regardless of party, but seemingly not so with the present one. Fvidently they have been printed for the purpose of keeping the public in the dark. Although it was the city clerk that the common council ordered to go ahead and have the printing done, the controller and board of works seem to have preferred different action and took the responsibility upon themselves. Hy doing this the published reports were ordered brought to them instead of to the clerk, rendering it more convenient to keep them in hiding, or, at least, to reserve them more exclusively for their clique. Truly it is exhilarating to meet Pres.'t K. M. Morse of the hoard of works, and Member Arthur H. I lice, who has charge of the water department in particular, and have them explain to you how everything is being done over their way on business principles, open and above board, and made a matter of record for public inspection. It makes you feel that the millcnium has begun to dawn until you try to get at some of those records, like, for instance, this annual report so handsomely tucked away that you need a spy-glass and a letter of recommendation to locate it. No, oh no, there is no politics in this angelic city administration of our's. If you chance to get hold of one of these reports, notice the new order of appearance the city clerk, second in importance of the city offices, preceded by all the "citizen" dignitaries, presumably because he happens to be a democrat. We anticipate that Hon. John II. Welter, the only democrat to be recognized on the various bi-partisan boards of the city. ho, himself having1 served in the campaign af a "citizen", must be exceedingly prefud of this non-partisan hjpocracy. We don't know whether he is interested in keeping the reports away from the city clerk's office where people ordinarily go for yuch things or not. and we don't know as it matters. The main point is that the administration all along has been exhibiting a considerable supply of hair-brained secrecy and the hiding of the annual reports is only a sort of climax. TIN! COUNTY APPOINTMENTS. Appointment of Patrick J. Houlihan to the county attorneyship by the board of county commissioners is a distinct compliment to Mr. Houlihan, rather, we are assured, than any intended reflection cast upon his predecessor, or his other opponent. Mr. I'ylo has served the county eiliciently and his ability and standing in the community is well-known. Mr. Charles W. F.ingham. of Mishawaka, was a candidate, because the city to the east of us believed it deserved the oflir-e. All of them could not be appointed. Mr. Houlihan became the victor after the first ballot. A lot of people, and among them many democrats, are of the opinion that Mr. Pyle should have been retained. He represents an element of of the party which regards itself as deserving of some representation in the public offices as well as when it comes to casting their votes. Others, however, in favor of handing such opportunities around. took up Mr. Houlihan's cause, no doubt, without thinking of that feature, and the board gave it to him on the ground of his being deserving. Mr. Pyle has been a consistent worker for the democratic party and the best interests of the party. Mr. Houlihan hen also served it liberally, ami was its candidate for Mty judge w years ago. (n the subject of rotation in the oMice. the board has. at least, been consistent. Frank Hosinski was appointed to succeed Kdward Zuelke. as county building janitor, and Harvey Partridge to succeed John Swans. n as day fireman at the county jail. There were no reappointments anywhere. Mr. Pyle appears to have lost out for reappointment, in accord with a definite policy. We believe that Mr. Houlihan will serve St. Joseph county with etr.eiency. and that, after all, is the main issue. He is to be congratulated; likewise Mr. Pyle for the splendid re ord ho leaves behind. The bubble- has bursted. Carranza will not consent to ma kin: Mexico City a neutral zone. Certainly not.

Room for quite a bunch of immigrants. Seeing America First Dy Fred Kelly. From Diary: People dwelling in San Francisco, and in New York city, have one trait in common. In both towns the residents hae a tendency' to lose sight of the fact that there is a considerable stretch of continent lying beyond their own immediate locality. The point of view of the San Franciscan may be illustrated by a conversation I overheard the other morning between a resident and a tourist. San Francisco is located on a peninsula which parallels the mainland and the visitor did ot have the lay of things quite co: -?ctly in his mind. So the San Frar.'isco man explained it to him like this: "Take your left hand." says he. "palm upward. The thumb is San Francisco. The index linger clear on down to the writ is the rest of California, the space between your thumb and linger being the bay. over on your little finger somewhere is New York city. In between there and the index finger is the rest of the continent. Doesn't that make it plain?" A map of the United States drawn according to that description would just about represent the Californian's idea of the relative size of the rest of the country. The difference between the California and the New York point of view, however, is this: The California man really knows that there is a sizable chunk of continent beyonel him, and only his enthusiasm gives over-emphasis to his own state. Hut the average NewYorker really and truly believes that beyond Jersey City to the west lies nothing except peace. Here is another incident that seems to illustrate the all-su fliciency of California to a Californian. A visitor from Kentucky was chatting with a man at San Francisco. "1 sec you're from the south," observed the San Franciscan; "I'm a southerner myself." "Ah, is that so," beamed the Kentuckian. "What part of tho south?" Oh" blandly and with, perfect composure "from southern California." As one middle westerner expressed it: "Kach and every Californian talks as if there were not to exceed two towns in the whole world and he owned one f)f them." One of the delights of San Francisco is the calm, self-contained manner in which the natives will boast of their climate even in the midst of a raw drizzling rain. And if there is any detail of the weather there that is really a liability, that is the very feature they like to pick out and feature as an asset. For example, before reaching San Francisco. I heard much of fogs. "If it wasn't for the fogs, the climate there would be extremely healthful and invigorating." a southern Californian told me. The first man I talked to about weather in San Francisco was a waiter. He seemed to have intuitively sensed the fact that I had heard in advance of the fogs. In fact it was foirgy and chilly even as I gave him my breakfast order. "Nice fog this morning." he remarked without cracking a smile. "Po they have these fogs all the time?" I inquired. "oh. no, not all the time just enough to make everything nice." he replied, cheerfully. "You know, they are very good for one's health, sir. e have scarcely any sickness here. I think it must be on account of the heavy fogs." TWENTY YEARS AGO llcmlndrrs From the Columns of The Daily Times, Miss Minnie Handy entertained the As You Like It club. Miss Maggie Knott.

THIS is a good time to buy Indiana SIGNS OF Not for many years has there been seen such a sharp advance in securities as those recently recorded. People who contemplate investment should reflect carefully on the way in which Wall st. arrives at its opinion. In every Jay trade, the sentiment of buyers aiul sellers is about equally balanced. From this equal balance of conflicting" interests, an equilibrium is reached which usually approximates very closely to actual values. Nine-tenths of all who dabble in stocks are buyers. They acquire stocks when they think they are low, hoping fer high prices. The tinancial reports in the newspapers all reflect the great preponderance of buying sentiment, those who expect to make money by advances. The great majority of financial reports at any given time are cheerful, tending to encourage buying. The balance against this great preponderance of optimism is kept up largely by the professional "bears," operators who make a business of contracting to deliver stocks at prices under the market. They thrive by the over confidence and over optimism of other people. They are a small minority. But the hopeful, trusting, confiding public so frequently pushes prices ahead too fast, that the bear gets a great many chances to work his profitable game. It is probable that tor a very large part of the time for the past 110 years, prices for securities have been too high. They are kept there by the great preponderance of the people who want to make money by buying stocks. Wherefore the investing public should be cautious about rushing in too fast to buy securities. It probably true that within two or three years, with the war over and business confidence lully restored, securities will be higher. But there will be many ups and downs. People who buy should take only the most solid securities, and should be prepared to lock them in their tin boxes and forget about them. Telegram, Elyria, O., April I;., 1915. Business conditions are better than they have been for over a year. This is in spite of adverse and ei- itructive legislation at Washington, but by reason of a concerted and determineel effort on the part of people generally to live through the remaining two years of the Wilson administration and make the best of it. Times. Pendleton, Ind.. April 1 !.". Good times are with us again, says the secretary of the interior, and bases his conclusion upon three things, money is cheap and plentiful, exports are booming, crops good. When the war in Europe ends there will he a big demand on this country for building ' materials with which to repair the destruction wrou ' y the war. Lumber will be one of the materials for which there will be a vast demand. Another writer says that theoretically the biggest wall of protection ever thrown around the United States is n force at present because of the fact that Europe is sending us no exports. Her shops and factories are closed or working with greatly reduced forces and we are buying nothing while exporting great quantities of goods for which the war has created a demand. "Psychologically" you'll feel more prospereius when this condition is made clear to you. Star, Salbetha. Kas., April 15, 1915. Federal banking authorities have r.nalyzed the latest banking statistics, and tind therein proof that the country is on its way to a business revival.

PROSPERITY of knocking the times as a means of furthering their demand for rate increases has helped the republicans in this respect. The hammering of big business, bent on preventing further legislation in the direction of government regulation of industry, has added to the impression that times are hard. With these rival interests at work, the next year bids fair to be one of hot debate as to whether the country is in good or bad shape and whether we are prosperous or not. It will be a fight to control the psychology of the situation. Republican, Broken Bow, Neb., April 15. 1915. DYNAMITER PAROLED Henry V. Lcglcitncr, Serving; Sentence at Leavenworth, Kelcascd.
