HICRLIN, Germany, Sept. 1. 1910 To the
Editor of The liee: Twice a year on May
1 and September 1 the German emperor,
with all the pump and circumstance of war,
reviews the Imperial Cnard corps of the
German army. Thin picked body of men,
corresponding to the Life (juards and
household troops of the English army, la
the kaiser's own and represents the flower
of the German army, and as such, may well
be considered the best drilled of any age.
In times of peace numbering about 20.000
men and whorl on a war footing three times
as many, It represents every branch of the
service and when on dress parade forma a
spectacle of military splendor and potential
distinction of "life, liberty and the pursuit
of happiness" which will not soon pass out
of the memory of the spectator.
The revlow begins at 8 a, in. and lasts
until noon. At 6 In the morning wo were
awakened by the strains of martial music,
Crjm the military bands and rushing to our
windows saw tho Grenadier Guard regiment
majuh by "Untar den Linden" oa tbelr way
to the parade ground. From that time on
companies of foot soldiers, cavalry and
Artillery filled the streets with color, music
and enthusiasm. By half past sevau we
were on our way out and nan too soon,
as we were held up by frequent street
blockades. Orderlies on horseback dashing
here and there, officers going to the field
In automobiles, and finally with a fine dis
regard of speed regulations and with a
lively fan Taj c of automobile trumpets, the
popular crown prince dashed by us In one
of the cream colored' automobiles used ex
clusively by the royal family to place him
self at the head of the First Guard regi
ment to pass in review before his Imperial
father, the commander-in-chief. From the
reviewing stand a sight greeted, our eyes
never to be forgotten. As far as the eye
could sec tho field was full of armed men
maneuvering Into line, bands playing, colors
flying; all was life and animation. At last
the lines are formed, one long line of In
fantry, then quite a space behind and
parallel to it a second line of cavalry and
artillery, the Infantry massed In perfect
squares of . mathoraaUoal precision, with
the regimental band a little to the left of
the front rank of each square, the flutter
Ing triangular pennants on the lances of
the cavalry forming a straight line nearly
a mils along the horizon, the artillery, last,
with Its three, pudrs of bursts hitched
tandem to each gun, stretching away out of
sight.
Lively Scenes liivsne.
Everything ready every soldier at at
tendon. Suddenly at the extreme left a
brilliant cavalcade of muu.ited officers up-
pear, led by a soldierly figure on horse
back. In a moment, every bund plays, the
crashing -ot cymbals and the beating of
d turns predominating, 20,000 throats yell
out a' hoarse greeting, the regimental flags
are dipped the kaiser Iras arrived, l'an-
drmonlum. finally ceases aud the kaiser,
with his staff, begins tire long rldo down
the welting lines and Inspe-.-ts his troops.
As he' pusses a regiment tlie band plays,
the officers salute Willi their swords, the
men stand at present arms. Following
the kaiser and his staff an far as the
center of the front lino of infantry comes
the queen, with two of her youtigeit fhll
dren. In an open carriage drawn by six
black horses, with drivers o.t eueji off

turning from his Inspeotl in, stations him
self on his chestnut war steed directly In
front of the leaders o? (he uu'jen's car
riage. This group, together with lire brll
Uuntly uniformed staff officers around the
emperor altogether forms a picturo to das
zle the eye and stimulate the circulation.
Now the great parade beglnj Every
regiment In the field passes in turn be
fore the kaiser. First, the emper jr a bodv.
guard, then regiment after reg'ment of
feeling on the part of the English Is due
to the fact that Germany Is making such
Inroads on England's foreign trade. Eng-
land, a nation of shopkeepers, feels this :
through Its pocket book and bitterly re-!
senta the loss of trade, and Is not back- (
ward In talking ahnut the ''greediness of
thos Germans." The German Is less free
in expressing himself, but in talking with
an educated and widely-traveled Dane,
who has given the subject a great deal of
attention, I learn that there Is a deep
sested resentment among Germans at the
long years of snubbing and assumption of
superiority on Ihe part of the English.
Any traveler who has met on the conti
nent the well-recognized type of the pomp
ous, frigidly exclusive and conceited eng
lishman, with his utter disregard of other
people's rights and feelings can Imagine
what resentment a century or more of such
treatment would breed In a nation so
punctllllously polite as the German. The
growth of the German navy and the ac
quisition and fortifying of naval bases on
the North sea, within nine houra by tor
pedo boat of the British mainland, fills
England with uneasiness, which from time
to time breaks out In a rational hysteria
of suspicion and fright.
The fear of war or of Its outcome seems
to bo confined to the English. It would
seem to a casual observer that Germany
could ask for nothing better than long
continued peace to complete her commer
cial conquest of the world, and If war
comes It will not be of her seeking. Ger
many knows from experience that war is
what General Sherman calls h 1, and par
ticular h 1 on business.
Bismarck said: "We Germans fear only
God," but careful observation leads mo to
believe that the German fears quite as
much that he isn't going to get enough to
eat and drink. Every available strategic
spot In Germany has been heavily fortified
with eatables and drinkables, so no matter
where he may be, at any hour of the day
or night, the German shall not be without
a single one of his customary five meals a
day. His motto, as Ella Wheeler Wilcox
would put It, Is, "Ent and the world eats
with you diet and you die-It alone." An
attack on the necessities of life sauer
kraut, sausage and beer would stand more
ahow of success than an attack by arms.
Let the English Introduce Into the cab
bage fields of Germany a rapidly propa
gating, ravenous green cabbnge worm In
oculate the German hog with the cholera
germ bribe the Hoffbrau brewers to pull
out the plugs from the great government
beer vats - at Munich and the struggle
would soon be over.
Nothing but the well-known Jealousy of
the military of anything emanating from a
civilian source will prevent the use of this
valuable suggestion on the part of the
English war department.

(Editorial Correspondence )
MEXICO CITT. Sept. 30. (Special. )
When our Uncle Samuel celebrated his
Wth birthday anniversary with the Phila
delphia exposition, the big doings eli
minated In the rlnirlng of the original
IJberty bell on Independence day. So In
the celebration of the centennial anniver
sary of Mexico's first blow for freedom,
the ceremonies have focused In the ringing
again by the president of the republic of
the self same bell upon which the curate
Hidalgo sounded forth his Grlto de Dolores
Just 100 years before. By a peculiar coin
cidence the blrthd iy of President IMax also
falls upon the eve of this date, affording
an opportunity to mnke the holiday honor
the personality of the ruler as well as the
Idea of self-government which his rule Is
supposed to typify.
It was our fortur.e to witness from speci
ally good vantage ground the principal
head line acts on the centennial program.
We were to have an audience with the
president and view the historic pageant
from the palace. Comparatively little dif
ficulty was encountered In gaining admit
tance to the building and only the usual
waits for our turn for presentation. Of
course, we were not the only ones In fact
we were the most somber among the gaily
drensed diplomats and brightly uniformed
officers, provincial dignitaries In native
gala garb and palace attaches attired with
equal brilliance. As tho lino moved slowly
through one chamber after ' another we
could examine the rich furniture and hand
some wall decorations. At the far end of
the last room the visitors passed In front
of a raised platform on which the presi
dent stood with his cabinet members be
hind him. He shook hands as each person
was presented by name and usually added
a word to the greeting.
"You have my felicitations pn your birth
day," I sold.
"I am very pleaded." he replied.
As I surveyed him hastily he did not
look 80 years old. Ills hair and moustache,
to be sure, are growing white, but are
strong reminders of the Jet black they once
were. His eye is keen and his facial fea
tures firm, but not noticeably lined by age.
He wore simple evening dress with a
broad silk band of the Mexican tricolor
green, white and red across the shirt
bosom. He did not seem to be as tall as I
had expected probably five feet eight
Inches, but then he looked more Impres
sive the next day when I saw him driving
past In full military uniform and coat
breast laden with glittering decorations
and Jeweled Insignia of honorary rank.
We were not presented to the cabinet
members, but could recognize many of
them by their portraits or by having them
pointed out by more knowing frlendH. For
the most part. the)', bad strong faces and
would doubtless hold their own among
men in similarly responsible positions In
other countries. 1 met. the. administrative
head of the federal district. Governor y
Escandon, who has a courtly manner and
speaks English most fluently. I also met
Senor Romero, nephew of the lata am
bassador to the United States of that
name and himself now a prominent
member of the Mexican congress.
Ha asked particularly after Herbert M.
Rogers, with whom he had studied at
Princeton and whom he had visited In
Omaha for a few days after graduation.
All this was but a prelude to the grand
historical .pageant which was to portray
the striking scenes In Mexico's onward
progress, in front of the palace, stretch
ing as far as the eye could reach, was one
dense mass of humanity. It would be a
rash guess to hazard an estimate surely
not less than 100,000 people, and the efforts
of police and soldiers to keep open the
space In front of the reviewing windows
were in vain. The Aztecs, headed by Mon
tezuma, accompanied by their different
tribal allies, were to march forth to receive
Cortei and his Spanish Invaders with their
native auxiliaries. To get the costumes
and appointments as nearly correct as pos
sible books and pictorial charts In the li
braries of two worlds had been ransacked,
and I have no doubt that the procession
which we watched was as nearly a coun
terpart, except In numbers, as that famous
historical company could have at this late
day. Montezuma and his warriors were
Indeed resplendent In every color of the
rainbow; they were not equipped, however,
for. cumbattlug .the. Spaniards,, crude, as
were their Implements of war, and the
stories of those frightful conflicts are more
understandable after this ocular demon
stration of the unequally matched forces.
Following the mummers came five or six
allegorical floats emblematic of agricul
ture and Industry and certain states of the
federal union. These floats were more or
less on the order of our Ak-Sar-Ben floats,
yet without electrical Illumination and be
ing for dayligkt. arte- perhaps a little more
finished In appearance. They were taste
fully designed and not overloaded, and the
living tableaux were at least attractively
selected figures, au natureJIe and not en
masque.
The evening demonstration found the
plaza If anything still more crowded than
did the morning pageant. The time to the
fateful hour of 11 was devoted to band con
certs. Illuminations and fireworks outside
the palace and to a sort of reception within
it. The guests merely promenaded up and
down the long state chambers, talked In
groups or clustered about the windows.
It was an official gathering, such a parly
as may be seen at a diplomatic reception
In our own White House, but I believe
less brilliant. The women were luxuri
ously gowned and jewelled, but hardly up
to our standards of feminine beauty.
Precisely at tire hour the president waved
a silk green-white-red flag across the win
dow and pulled a gold cord that brought
peals from the beJI. which the great Hidalgo
had sounded. From the multitude below
arose a tremendous shout, the bands began
to play, rookets rained over the fire-outlined
towers and dome of the cathedral,
and the church bells throughout the city
clanged and bellowed as' If mad. This per
formance I am told is gone through every
year on the eve of the lfith of September,
but of course the one hundredth perform
ance was entitled to an extra halo and In
spired with" accelerated patriotism.
The centennial military parade was re
viewed by the president the next day. This
time w watched from windows looking out
on the narrow Calles de San Francisco, the
dally dress parade grounds of Mexico City's
smart set. 1 have witnessed many military
displays and the chief Interest lies in com
parison or contrast I have seen our own
troops massed In large numbers on various
occasions at two presidential Inaugura
tions, at the New York Columbian quadrl
centennlal parade, at the dedication
of the St Louis World's fair and
for many smaller Incidents. I have seen
President Carnot review the French troops
at Champs de Mars on the French fete
day and I have seen a whole German army
corps salute as each company passed the
emperor aud the empress as If counting
their legions. The column that marched
this day contained, according to an officer
of the Mexican army, 10.S00 men, of which
about "00 were marines and sailors from
the foreign warships, dispatched by their
respective governments to pay their tribute
of good will In this way. The Mexican in
fantry strikes me as a slaternly lot; their
uniforms are not striking; they appear to
be overloaded with accoutrements: their
marching Is ragged; they exhibit no signs
of dash or vigor; they act, and in this they
act tire . tratb, a it tkay were painfully
walking In shoes when they are accus
tomed to sandals or bare feet.
The Mexican cavalry and light artillery
make a much better Impression than the
Infantry. The horsemen are accustomod
to the saddle, and their mounts are above
average. Tbe artillery corps were largely
In evidence. I am no Judge of guns, but
those more' expert Insisted that the pat
terns are up-to-date, the equipment first
class and the quotas of different styles
Well distributed.
The flower of every Mexican military
parade, however, and the pride of the
Mexican people ere the rurales, the
mounted rural military police, who strike
tenor to evil-doers and keep the peace
throughout the length and breadth of the
land. It is said that when President Diaz
determined many yeais ago to rid the
rural districts of highwaymen and des
peradoes, he sent for some of the most
noted bandits and laid down the ultimatum
that they must help him put all the out
laws out of business or he would put
them themselves out of business. It took
several severe object lessons to bring them
all to his way of thinking and to enlist
them In the rurales. Yet there they are,
the most splendid specimens uf horseman
ship, dazzling in their sliver shimmering
uniforms of yellow buckskin, overtopped
with tall sombrero of gray felt, likewise
embroidered and tasseled with heavy sil
ver. The privilege of promotion to com
missioned officers' rank is the privilege
to add a few more pounds of silver to
the load by spreading it over saddle, bridle
and blanket.
"That captain there," exclaimed one of
our chaperones as the resplendent rurales
were passing, "is wurth $10,000 as he
stands fur the melting pot."
It must have been on tne theory of re
serving the best for the last, that the
rurales should have tallod up tbe proces
sion. The people, who had stood patiently
on the curbs for hours, took one long ml
mlrlng look at these master minions of
the law and then dispersed In satisfied
good humor and good order.

amount to several times this figure, but
when statistics are based partially on con
jecture, they need to be stated with es.
pecial caution.
"The cost of conservation often la trlfllna-
ln comparison with the saving attained.
For Instance, the hook worm disease In the
oouin impairs me earning power of Its
workmen try 24 or W per cent To restore
this earning power costs, by curlna the
disease, on an average, less than $1 for
each case.
Other examples show that the return
on Investments In health are often several
thousand per cent per annum. Probably no
such unexplolted opportunity for rich re
turns exists In any other field of Invest
ment. Mr. Messenger, the actuary, sug
gests that If Insurance companies should
combine to contribute lAG.ooo a year for the
purpose of improving the public health, the
cost would be of 1 per cent of the
premiums, and it would be reasonable to
expect a decrease In death claims of much
more than 1 per cent Even this I per cent
would make a profit of more than seven
times the expense." Chicago Tribune.
