YEAR 81.-NO. 63 KASER'S PEOPLE TELL OF THEIR DEEP REGARD FOR THE BRITISH A. W. Haycock, Associated With Norman Angell's Work in Eng- and, Tells About His Enquiry Trip to Frankfort, Germany A. W. Hoyeock, son of J. L. Hay- Cock, of Adolphustown, formerly of Kingston, and who has been associ- ated with Norman Angell's work in England from its. commencement, recently returned to London trom a where he went visit to Frankfort, with the object of ascertalning Ger- Tuan opinion on the problems of in- ternational relationship, and during his stay he got into touch with all the leading men in political, financial and academic circles in that city. "lI am not going," Mr. Haycock says, "as a result of three weeks' visit to Frankfort, to pass judgment on the German people, or to tell you what are the intentions of these 65,- 000,600 people toward Great Britain, but 1 did, while in Germany, come into contact with a great many indi-{ vidual Germans, many of whom pe- | bresented very important financial, Journalistic, political and academic interests, and I can say without hesi- tation that every one of them ex- pressed a fervent wish for the ter- mination of that feeling of antagon-| ism between Great Britain and Ger-! many, which certain people and cer-| taln organ: on both. sides of the North Sea have tried :0 stimulate, "I never met a man in Germany who could refrain from smiling when 1 mentioned that the British people were in fear of a German invasion, neither did I have any difficulty in convincing them that Great Britain had no intention of invading Ger- many. They were far more troubled abcus their position between France on one flank and the great military empire of Russia on the other. All there Germans told me and I believe sincerely, that they detested the idea of & war, and that they supported the burden: .of their armaments for defence, as Germany had been trod- deh under the feet of invaders again and: again, and they believed that ir they should diminish their defensive forces thye might again be liable to the same fate. "It 1s guite true," Mr. Haycock 'Continues, "" that their detestation of War was expressed very much in the usus! pious platitudes, but, after all, theso platitudes are not so bad. Thay indleate, at any rate, a desire for a better state of things. : Unfor- tunately, the existing formulas of Srthodax. statenraty 4s to the advan- a which could' be secured by the possestion of 'military power, 'find a sort of "helpless acceptance, and so a large number of very generously in- tentioned people place their hopes for peace upon some slow general moral iniprovement in human nature, or some short cut by way of arbitra- tion freatlos and Hague conferences. "When all these short cuts fail, as they always do, their failure takes the wind out of the sails of those Who are working for the same object along the lines of better understand- ing of the whole problem. The real value of the change of feeling toward Great Britain which is now being manifested in Germany, and there is undoubtedly a change for the better, is that an atmosphere is created in whicii sensible discussion can take place." Referring to Mr. Angell's baok "The Great Illusion," Mr. Haycock , ¥ays that it is being read in Ger- many, and has already had a good sale there. "I talked to many Ger- mans who bad read it," he continues, "and 'althoftgh it has not yet found perhaps a general acceptance for its doctrines, there are many who are al work studying these problems of the tinanelal, economic, and social in tordependence of nations, to which it draws attention, and the time is cer tainly favorable for steady work along these lines. "The German people are now feel- tug the effects of the , Balkan war. Tight "money, oppressive taxation. business insecurity, and many other direct results or armament stiniula- tion are surely influencing public opinien. Nobody likes to pay taxes, nor to have their business ruined and to do this adversity may be a blessing in disguise. One business man ti me that since the Morocco ¢risic hé had had a constant fight with bankruptcy. * : "The Balkan war and the 1911 - Crisis haye taught the business sec- tion of German public a few elo- rentary lessons in international in- terdependence; while the Zabern in- cident, which has aroused so much indignation. in every part of Ger- many has aroused the German people to assert themselves against military reaction," Mr. Haycok then goes on to refer to Mr. Churchill's recent proposals for a "naval holiday." "I did not find the Germans very enthusiastic About the proposal," he says, "as they regarded its terms as being un- fair. to. them, but there is a very strong party in 'Germany who object to the continual expansion of the German fleet, and whatever standard of sirength we ourselves may deem ne ry, we shall do well to re- member that any excessive increase on cur part ties the hands of those who are fighting against German in- crease."

All the big express companies have found the parcel post a serious competitor in the package delivery field, especially since express rates were lowered sixteen per cent. by the Interstate Commerce commission, The, United States Express couipany, lowdver, was the worst sufferer from the start, and the record of recent husiness told the tale of dwindling profits. The report submitted to the Interstate. Cormmerce commission for November, showed revenue tariff of $1,700,000, a decrease from the cor- responding month of 1912 of $285,- 000. By exercising the most rigid econojuies the company was able to cut down operating costs to the ex- tent of only $7,200, and operating in- come for the month showed a de- ficit of £32,900. For the five months of the current fiscal year gross rev- enues of the coripany fell behind the same period of the preceding year te the extent of $567,000, While net in- come declined $185,000 There are only 100,000 shares of United States Express company stock and these are not widely distributed.

Where there are such repre- sentatives he suggests that, even where their governments have recog- nized Huerta, these consuls may un- officially communicate with him with- out involving their governments. Also, he suggests his willingness to listen to and heed any applications made to him Hirectly by the friends and relatives of foreigners whose lives or property may be threatened, and to make an invetigation of every case, and fo punish any of his fol- lcwers who may be culpable. This is ihe substance of a tele- graphic. report made to Secretary Bryan to-day by United States Con- sul Simpich at Nogales, Carranza pointed out, however, that under international law foreign governmenis can deal with him by authorized agents either directly or through their embassies here in Washington. And in taking that position, Carranza makes it plain that he is prepared to protect for- eigners in Const'tutionalist territory on their personal request. Holding up U. 8S. Arms Vera Cruz, March 16.--A grave complication in the Mexican situa- tion may be precipitated, 'is the opinion of high American - officials, expressed here today, by the refusal of Genexal Hperta to allow 'the de- livery oft irms and ammunition, con- signed a' week ago to the American embassy in Mexico City. Although Huerta verbally promised Charge Nelson O'Shaughnessy that the rifles and cartridzes would-be 'delivered several "days ago, the shipment to- day wag stiik-held up in the capital's honded" warehouse. . The situation is embarrassing to the United States, by reason of the fact that arms and ammunition sent from the foreign warships here to the British and German legations in Mexico City went through without delay and were delivered without question. On the receipt of reports here that many of ihe federal defenders of Tampico were deserting and joining the rebels,. -Rear-Admiral '¥letcher | ordered the Dolphin fo proceed to the oil vort and take a position in the river, to insure the protection of foreigners. The Ted cross society here requested Fletcher to send them to Tampico on an Ameritan vessel, believing that a serious engagement is imminent. Smailpox in South Texas San Antonio, Texas, March 16.-- Smallpox conditions in South Texas due to the influx. of thousands of Mexicans who have crossed the bor- der to ascape the revolution, it is de- clared, have assumed serious propor- tions. A movement is on foot in San Amtonio to request that the fed- eral government instruct army sur- geons along the border to vaccinate each person who crosses from Megico. Civil Service Weakness The Canadian Courier, Not only has the present federal government failed' fo strengthen the civil service commission and extend its sphere of influence, but it has' ac- tually flouted it." The reason given 15 that the examinations set by Dr. Shortt and his associate are too academic and not likely to discover the best candidates. But there is probably, another and more ancient reason. The examinations are too academic, no doubt. Yet this. could be overcome by consultation with the commission who are no' doubt amen- able to reason. The ancient reason why the com- mission is being fAouted is" the desire of cabinet ministers and' members of parliament to get jobs for their friends. They desire to pension off their political supporters at the country's expense. ery govern. ment since the act of union has done this... Every provindial: government does it. Every civic administration tries- to "do it. « This" form of : public. robbery is and always Has been pop- ular. Just why the Tepelontativs of the people are prone to debauch t gin lic service, it is hard to see. Such practice is in direct contravention of their oaths of office. The men would not dip their hands into the treasury and steal the actual gold which be- longs to the people, bat they accom- plish the same purpose when they ap point a man to an offies for which he is unfitted, simply because of his partv. service. : Primarily the blame lies with: the people. They condone such prac tices with an unexplainable blind- ness. 0 23 Got 81,000 Fox op the Tee, Halifax, March 16.~~ Captain Ach: meissen of the steamer Scotia. now in port, reports the capture of a red and black fox by himself and off Egg Island.
