LUTING HAS BEEN CONDONED BYGERMANS Government Has Fallen to the Moral Level of Crown Prince When William I left Versailles flfter the restoration of peace in 1871, he took with him, says the York Sun, a little silver can dlestick that had stood beside his campbed in tbe palace, and he kept it with him until he died. It was the only official loot of the Franco- Prussian War, and the first Kaiser made a sort of apology for taking it when he showed it to the French keeper at the palace gate and told him that he did not wish any one else to be accused of making off with it. There was plenty of looting in that war, so much that it was a say ing in the next decade that it was a poor German who did not have ( a French clock in his house, but it was not official looting such as just now has been recognized in Berlin.

FRIDAY "EVENING, The government has fallen to the I moral level of the light-fingered Crown Prince, and those who wish to sell or buy the booty taken from tho captured towns of France and Belgium are officially directed to the war booty office. Bonaparto let his generals and his men plunder houses, perhaps be cause he had no other way to pay them. When he sent art treasures to Paris, it was with tha excuse that they would be safer there. This pre text has been used by Germany in the present war to explain its loot ings of libraries. These, no doubt, will be kept for the private edifica tion of the Hohenzollerns until stronger hands take them away and restore them to their old places. Tho fate of the smaller bits of plun der now officially offered for sale in Berlin will be different, for thfey will be dispersed beyond recovery, sold by a thievish government to en rich itself and please its people. Wellington shot his men when he caught them stealing in the Penin sula, but the businesslike William sets up a market for what his sol diers lift. Few nations have clean hands in the matter of unofficial loot. The Sun was one of the papers that did not shut its eyes to the disgraceful conduct in Peking of the putative Christian soldiers, citizens and mis sionaries who robbed temples and palaces and who murmured that it was the quickest way of obtaining "reparation." But this was not of ficial. Even with the Germans, the most brutal plunderers and murder ers# in China at that time, the crimes were unofficial. Perhaps the German gwernment has been driven to its official ap proval of theft —and it must be re membered that individual looting lnis been forbidden by the articles of war of all civilized countries—by a consciousness that its people are jealous of its princes. The pickings of these precious young men he.ve been notoriously rich. The Crown Prince carried enough stuff out of France to rival the warehouses of Grand Rapids. Prince Eitel Fritz, who was familiar with the furnish ings of great Belgian houses where he had once been a guest, hurried to rob these homes. Prince Joachim proved to his father that, even in Russian Poland, an efficient furni ture thief could livfr up to the best traditions of the house of Hohen zollern. Is the thieves' market in Berlin a part 'of tho democracy that Prus sia is giving to her beloved peo ple? Clownish Captain of Coepenic Is Dead Amsterdam, March 29.—William Voight, a shoemaker, who caused the whole world to laugh at the ex pense of Clerman militarism by his escapade at Coepenic, in 1906, is dead, according to an announce ment made in Berlin. In October, 1906, a man in the uniform of a captain of grenadiers recruited a detachment of twelve men in the streets of Berlin through a forged military order. At the head of the men, the "captain," who was Voight, went to Coepenic, a small town near Berlin. There he arrested the burgomaster and the treasurer of the town and took possession of funds amounting to about SI,OOO. The trick was soon discovered and Voight, in December, was sentenced to four years' imprisonment. In August, 1908, he was pardoned by Emperor William j.nd in March, 1910, he went to the United States, where he visited Chicago and New York. His deportation was ordered from Washington, and in April he was sent out of the United States. After he was sentenced to prison, a Frau Wertheim, of Berlin, offered to pay him an annuity. This was accepted by Voight, but last month he was compelled to bring suit for unpaid pension. Raze Concrete Building by Fire and Dynamite Chicago.—'To make room for a new railway station, a comparatively new concrete building at Chicago was wrecked recently. The demoli tion of such buildings is not fre quent, and the methods employed are therefore interesting. An 1800-pound pear-shaped cast iron drill was used in smashing through the floors. It was carried by a single fall line on the forty-foot boom of a stiff-leg derrick, which gave it a sheer drop of thirty feet. The floors, designed to carry a load of about 250 pounds to the square foot, failed to sag more than an inch when subjected to a pressure of 910 pounds to the square foot. Persistent onslaughts had to be made with falling weights, oxy-ace tylene torches, sledges, fire, water and dynamite. Wood fires were built around the bases of the in terior columns and kept burning for several hours so that when sub jected to streams of cold water the concrete would crack. After the rods were cut with taches, the col umns were pulled over, the beams, of course, falling at the same time. Former Cobbler Now a Finance Minister Stockholm.—Sweden's new Min ister of Finance, P. V. Thorsson,- used to be a cobbler. An orphan at the age of nine years, he found him self "bound out" to a farmer. After a period of this employ he appren ticed himself to a shoemaker and at 23 he settled himself in Ystad as a master in this trade. Being an ora tor and possessed of ability as an organizer, he found appeal among the Socialists and soon was able to cease cobbling and enter a bank, where be became an official. As a boy he had few opportunities to educate himself. He is known to day as a "moderate Socialist" and is a good friend of Hjalmar Grant ing, whom he succeeded In the Swedish Cabinet. No "Skirmish Line" in Stock; Red Tape Do? Sail Francisco. —"On get fifteen yards of skirmish-line from Sergeant Doe over there," an officer directed Josh Miles, a recruit. The rookie dutifully went over to Sergeant Doe and told him what he wanted. Sergeant Doe laughed and Private Miies saw the light. Re turning to the wag, he saluted so berly and made his report. "No skirmish line in stock, sir," he said, "ljut.l can get you fifteen yards of red tape." Stork Pays Sixteenth Visit in Nineteen Years Garrison, N.
