KAISER DIDN'T CARE \ Paid No Attention to President Wil son's Offer. President Wilson's peace offer \va a matter of little concern to the Get man emperor, according to the evi dence presented before the subcom mittee investigating the war. Fur thermore, the intervention of th United States apparently was not se riously considered by the emperor. The incident caused a sensatio: and occurred during the examinatio: of Cou rt Bemstoff, former ambassa dor at Washington. The socialis deputy, Dr. Sinsheimer, turned to ward Von Bemstoff, and said: "The kaiser's telegrem, to whicl ? x ? 1 & i i ai r\ you rexer uaieu January 10, and addressed to Herr Zimmermai (foreign secretary) says literally: "His majesty instincts me to thanl you for your communication. Hi majesty does not care a bit abou President Wilson's offer. If a bread with America cannot be prevented i cannot be helped, events are develop ing." There was much excitement at th< hearing when the message was read Dr. Karl Helfferich, former vice chan cellor, whispered 'nonsense." Dr. Sins.heimer maintained that th< peace conditions sent to Presiden Wilson on January 28, 1917, whicl were said to be the same as thos< Germany offered on Derember 13 1916, were really nothing like them Every one present appeared as tounded at this statement and coun Von Berestoff exclaimed excitedly "then I am told this today for th< first time." Under cross examination Von Bern storff quoted the German emperoi and Gen. Ludendorff on his (Bern storfFs) return from Washington The emperor said Von Bernstorff hac failed on two points, first, in allowing the British to confiscate the trunl with a Swedish diplomats paper: thought to contain his Mexican tele grains, and, s-icond by pe-mittins the United States to send James W Gerard to Germany as ambassador. Replying to another question th( former ambassador said: "Without America's help the Entente could not have vanquished Germany. If we had succeeded in preventing war with America, a peact of understanding would at least have been possible." o . Why the I'olicemen Should not Strike A part of the duty of a policemar is to represent the general public ir the maintenance of order in time: when there are strikes, lockouts,?nc disorders ir. private industry. It is quite as inappropriate for the police man to be affiliated with trade union ism as for judges to form a unior and become affiliated with employers' associations. The judges must b( impartial servants of law and justice The policemen also must uphold lav and order, :ind ought not to hav< group connections with other distinct bodies which are actually at thii time on strike or are threatening such action. Thus, for all the policemen of Pittsburg and neighboring cities to be solidly unionized and affiliated with the steel workers at th< very moment when, last month, 2 steel strike was imminent, woulc have been wholly contrary to sounc public policy, and would have left the general community bereft of thai confidence in its own agencies for se curity that it has a right to depenc upon. Thus it seems clear that organ ized labor, in accepting these bodies of public officials, is showing a ten dency to over-reach itself and is add ing to itself elements of weaknes: rather than of strength. As for th< groups of o'ficials themselves, the} are sacrificing something of thei] dignity and value of their own pub lie status by emphasing unduly theii private demands and relationship.?
