| How Germany Thinks the War Started.
In the July American Magazine Edward
Lyell Fox, correspondent in Germany for
that publication, writes a highly interest-
ing article entitled“ God Punish England”
in which he reports the intensity of the
feeling in Germany against England. In
connection with this subject he quotes
Major von Herwarth, a German officer,
who tells in part as follows what he re-
gards as the origin of the trouble:
“England is jealous of our commerce.
We do not have week-end parties. We
work. We become too powerful in trade.
We disturb the British peace of mind,
therefore Britain must be rid of this dis-
turbance.
We saw with regret that our relations
with England were becoming unsatisfac-
tory. There was no rhyme or reason
why we should not have come to a good
solid understanding. We tried for it
hard, but in vain. England turned to
France and Russia, and it was a remark-
able coincidence that ever since the
! Triple Entente was complete our neigh-
bors in the east and in the west adopted
an attitude against us that grew more and
more hostile. We knew that the strug-
gle was coming and we were prepared.
But, more than anything, we resent the
British hypocrisy over the neutrality of
Belgium—this from the nation that made
her empire by gobbling up little coun-
tries all over the world.
You see, we cannot think of such
things and remain calm. Germany is
only one thousandth’s part of the surface
of the globe. (The entire area of the
globe, including all oceans, is about one
thousand times the area of Germany.
The entire area of all the land on the
globe, including fertile territory, deserts,
steppes and the polar regions, is less
than three hundred times the area of
Germany—Editor.)
“We have worked hard on this soil and
we live well. And by our hard work we
are rivaling England’s commerce, which
means that we must go.”
Luck Was With Traveler.
The reason that I escaped execu-
tion the morning after my arrest hung
on an even slenderer thread, writes
a recent traveler in China, in the
World’s Work. My foreign appear-
ance, the regularity of my papers, and
my remarks to the effect that he would
be made the scapegoat if a mistake
had been made had worried the prison
superintendent. He decided to consult
his superior before carrying out his
orders. This gentleman, like most of
his kind in Chinese officialdom, was
the first thing he received was an
urgent telephone inquiry from Admi-
ral Tsai as to whether a foreigner had
been arrested by the secret police
or not, and if he had, where was he.

Dangerous Bridges.
According to the Engineering Ree.
ord, many states have a large number
of inferior bridges. of both wood and
steel. The town anil county officials
who have the bhidzes and highways
in charge often put off needed repairs
to the bridges, because they prefer to
spend the money at their disposal in
improving the surface of the roads—
work that the public is much quicker
to notice and praise them for. Merely
from the point of view of safety it is
wise to improve no road until every
bridge on it is put into proper shape,
for smooth, metaled roadways and
weak, poorly maintained bridges form
a dangerous combination. In cases in
which the road commissioners have
little control over the bridges the con-
ditlons are likely to be even more dan-
gerous. Putting so much of the money
into the bridges rather than into the
roads may not be practicable in every
case; but in every case enough money
should be put into the bridges to
make them safe beyond question.

Various Suez Canals.
The Suez canal is not the first canal
to join the Red sea and the Mediter-
ranean, according to a bulletin issued
by the National Geographic society.
The Egyptians, it is stated, in 1350-
1300 B. C., constructed such a canal.
In the course of time it was choked
with sand. Another canal was begun
by Necho about 600 B. C. and com-
pleted a century later. Trajan re-
stored this canal. When Napoleon
visited Egypt, he planned to reopen
the old canal, but was forced to aban-
don the project. It remained for De
Lesseps to repeat the engineering tri-
umph of the ancient Egyptians on a
vaster scale.
Military Funerals.
It is not universally known what
is meant by a funeral “with full milis
tary honors.” In such a funeral the
coffin is bcrne on a gun carriage. If
the dead soldier was a cavalryman
his sword and helmet are fastened to
the saddle of his horse, which is led
immediately behind the gun-carriage,
and his top-boois, with spurs attached,
are fastened in stirrups, with the toes
pointing backwards. A firing party,
drawn, if possible, from the deceased’s
regiment, Gres three volleys over the
grave, and the “Last Post” is then
sounded by buglers.
