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."
