one of a steady, conscientious adherence to the highest ideals of qual
ity and workmanship. It is,, indeed, a far cry from the old-fashioned
Spinnet produced in George Washington's day, to the handsome and
impressive Francis Bacon Piano of President Wilson's time. The point
is this a Piano with the prestige of 125 years of constant develop

WAR WITH GERMANY
NOT POSSIBLE, SAYS
JOHN FREDERICK LEWIS
Many Selfish People Would
Profit, He Asserts, but
Majority of the Ameri
can People Are in Favor
of Peace.
A belief that war with Germany Is not
within the range of possibility was ex
pressed tndny by John Frederick Lewis,
of Philadelphia, an admiralty lawyer of
national repute. Mr. Lewis nt the same
time nfllrmed his complete confidence In
President Wilson and expressed emphatic
disapproval of the Jingo talk which has
arisen since Secretary of Blato Bryan's
resignation from the Cabinet because of
the stern tone of the President's second
note to Germany.
A few selfish people might profit by a
war, in tho opinion of Mr. Lewis, but
tho country as a wholo could gain In no
way. nor does the scntlmont of the ma
jority Indicate that thcro Is any feeling
for war.

In regard to the Berlin note defending-

to which he could have towed her.
"The claim of the United Btates Gov

money compensation, and I regard It as
immaterial whether the amount of that
compensation Is fixed br a. rniaa court

"Tho commander of the Prlna E1U1
Frledrlch In slnklne tho Frya probably
did so beoause there was no port to
which he could tow her where her rtghta
could be adjudicated. Taking her to Ger
many waa Impossible, and the American
courts could not pass upon tho queatlon,
as they did not belong to an oily of Ger
many. I suppose that under the circum
stances ho sank her, realizing that what
ever claim her owners might have waa a
mere matter of money and could bo eailly
arrived at, and that sinking her waa tha
only practical method of preventing tha
delivery of tho cargo of cotton to Eng
