GERMANY'S POWER
MOST BE CRUSHED,
LONDON ATTITUDE
No Compromise While Mili
tarism Makes Possible Fur
ther Dreams of Teutonic
Supremacy.
IJNOON, Sept, 11.
it., i ii rrn.lnn mllitnrlsm Is crushed for
all tlmo, both on land and Ben, England
! will rofuso oven to consider propositions
of peace. That wan the emphatic posi
tion tnfco In London today. It Is folt that
the position of the allies must be greatly
misunderstood If It Is believed that any
pcaco proposnl would even do rvccirvu
ftl this time.
Were tho war ended today, oven thouBU
Belgium wero Indemnified and 'Franco re
ceived back Alsace-Lorialnc, tho Brent
German fleet would remain on a menace
to tho peaco ot Kuropc. England Is de
termined that this shall bo tho last war.
Officials, from tho King down, Insist that
the real cause of tho war wm tho Ger
man dream of world power. A compro
mise now, It Is claimed, would mean that
at a later date Germany would renew
tho attempt, and this tlmo tho allies
might not bo ablo to present their un
hmfcrn front. So It Is the Intention of
Kngla'nd to fight on until Germany Is
forced to consent to a peaco that will
mako her a party for all tlmo to treaties
she will be compelled to respect, and not
icgard as "mere scraps of paper," to be
disregarded at will.
Tho Times today, commenting on tho
outlook, declares only pcaco concluded In
Berlin and tho dispersal of tho German
fleet will be acceptable to tho British
people. It declares that any official who
would consent to lesser humiliation of
Oermany could not withstand popular
disapproval.
The agreement between tho allies that
peace would bo concluded only by an
I agreement satisfactory to all onded for
nil time, officials say, tho possibility that
Germany might be able to make In
dividual tcimo which would permit her
to retain her present stntus.
It Is admitted peace may bo hastened
by tho defeat of the Germans In France,
nnd by tho crushing of tho Austrlana by
tho Husslans. Thcro has been a strong
undercurrent In Germany against the war.
Only In Prussia was it popular with tho
people. The majoilty of tho other Ger
man States had no liking for conflict so
far as the rank nnd file ot the peoplo was
concerned. Now that Germany is on the
defensive, that the attempt to take Pails
has proven nbortlvo and, above all, nines
tlio losses to the Fatherland liuvo been so
enormous, there Is real danger of a. popu
lar uprlMni; which may change the pres
ent German system of government.
Suggestions that tho Kalsor may yet be
forced to abdicate are ma do In certain
quarters usually familiar with what is
going on in Germany. Tlioy arc us jot
only suggestions, hut when the truth 13
known In Germany those making them
here say they may become realities.
DEFENDS HARBOR BILL
Senator Ransdell Says 300,000 Will
Lose Job If Measure Fails.
WASHINGTON', Sept. 14. When the
liver and harbor appropriation bill uis
UkPii up In tho Senate today. Senator
Itnndell, of Louisiana, made vigorous de
fense of the measure.
"Haeh dollar expended on improving
waterways gives 2 liv reduced tiansporta
llon charger," said Senator rtansdell. "It
would be a great calamity If tho pending
bill falls. Fully W.000 employes will be
thionn out of work and a larger num
ber who furnlFh arlous tnaterinlR. im.
ward of 300,000 persons, will loso their
means of hupport."
Senator Kausdell said that theie was
not a single unworthy or improper Item
in the Mil, though some had gt cater merit
than others. y
MARK TWAIN'S OWN IDEA
OF THE DEFENSES OF PARIS
"XF" 15 I TftOffl
$2
i&tit&Mm
MaAAAav
sronvitfUMfiEQ aanan
Secretary of fltate Bryan on the matter.
Secretary Bryan will Uk Uie matter tip
with tho President again. It already has
been made known that tho delegation
would be received If Its credentials were
In order, Tho consultation tbday was
largely for the purpose of considering
thosi credentials. Theyaro understood to
be acceptable to the White House.
Had the Germans possessed the war
map, which ' accompanies this article,
Paris would have been In their hands by
now. The map, tho chef d'ocuvre of Mark
Twain, was drawn by him and by the
exercise of superhuman Ingenuity, also en
graved by him. It Is true that It Is
somewhat askew, but ns General Nelson
O. Miles, who never saw tho man ,ls re
ported to have said:
"It was fully as useful In 1870 when It
was drawn, as It Is today."
The map was published In tho Buffalo,
N. Y Express, of which Twain was
owner, on September 37, 1S70, and Twain's
description follows, together with some
testimonials, even more enthusiastic than
that of General Miles:
TO THE HEADER.
The above map explains Itself.
The Idea of this map Is not original
with me, but Is borrowed from the
Trlbuno and tho other great metropolitan
Journals.
I claim no other merit for this produc
tion (If I may so call It) than that It Is
accurate. The main blemish of the city
paper maps, of which It is an imitation,
la that In them more attention bcems paid
to artistic plcturesqucness than geograph
ical reliability.
Inasmuch as this Is the first time I ever
tried to draft and engrave a map, or at
tempt anything In tho lino of art at all,
tho commendations tho work has received
nnd tho admiration It has excited among
the people have been vary grateful to my
feelings. And It Is touching to reflect that
by far the most enthusiastic of these
praises have come from people who know
nothing at all about art.
By an unimportant oversight I have en
graved the map so that It reads wrong
end first, except to loft-handed people. I
forgot that in ordor to make it right In
print it should be drawn and engraved
upsldo down. However, let the student
who desires to contemplate the map stand
on his head or hold it beforo her looking
glass. That will bring it right.
The reader will comprehend at a glance
that that pleco of river with the "High
Bridge" over it got left out to one side
by reason of a slip of tho engraving tool,
which rendered it necessary to change
tho entire course of tho River Rhine or
elso spoil tho map. After having Bpent
two days in digging and gouging at the
map, I would have changed tho course of
the Atlantic Ocean before I would have
lost so much work.
I nover had so much trouble with any
thing in mv life ns I did with this map.
I hud heaps of little fortifications scat
tered all around Paris, at tirst. hut evm-v
now and then my Instalments would slip
and fetch away whole miles of battered
and lcao the vicinity as clean as It
the Prussians had been thero.
The reader will tlnd It well to frame
this man for future reference, so that It
mar aid In extending popular intelligence
nnd dispelling the widespread Ignotanco
of tho day. MARK TWAIN.

ACTIVE JERSEY CAMPAIGN
FOR SEATS IN CONGRESS
Leaders to Stress Need of State Trix
Under Democrats.
TIU3NTON, Sept. H.-nepubllcan lead
ers forecast victory for their con
gressional candidates at the November
elections. Newton S. K. Bugbce, chair
man of the Republican Slato Committee,
has prepared an Itinerary which will
carry him Into every county during the
days remaining beforo tho primary elec
tion, September 22,
Mr, Bugbee, primed for a contest which,
It Is admitted, will be strenuous, In view
of tho luck that has fallen In the path
of tho Dcmocrata with tho outbieak of
tho European war, has declared that
thcro appears to be 110 reason why the
Republicans should not return at least
seven out of the" twelve mcnibsra of tho
House of Representatives to bo elected.
During the laat week, or since such
candidates as John Dynely Prince, pro
fessor In Columbia, who Is 11 candidate
for Congress In the HIkUi Dlstilet. ami
IMward W. Gray, formerly secietary ot
the State Committee, who In running In
tiie Ulghtli District, lime opened up their
oratorical batteries, there lias been n
marked chnngo In the sentiment of the
voters.
The party lcadors are hent upon con
vincing the Voters, that tho Underwood
tariff hill, and not tho general conflict
In Kuropc, has been as much, It not more,
rcstiouslblc for tho effoils tho Democratic
Congress Is now ninklng to get money J
under the pretext of a war lax to relievo
the manufacturing nnd commercial Inter
ests of the country.
Tho effect of the tariff, combined with
that of the reform eoiporatlon laws
which wero enacted when President Wil
son was Governor of New Jersey, ac
cording to tho Republican leaders, has
reduced tho Htoto revenues to such an
extent Hint the Stale lax which was
threatened during the last session ot tho
Legislature will this year become a rnnllly
unless there Is an absolute repudiation
of the Democratic forces.
It Is known that Washington docs not
look nltogcfher upon the coming election
with the even of nn oitlnl?r. Of course,
nothing will bo spared to re-oieet tlinso
Wilson Congressmen who arn on tho
ticket for another term, hut, po far as
the White Houso Is concerned, there me
no predictions being made. .S'ectctury
