k CATSPAW.
. ^™ a K n . y h “ Po many excuses for the
” le detention of Ambassador Gerard
th sL!lT r m °^ e co nthaies beclouded in doubt.
Firrt was the pretext that she wanted to in
jure the safety of her own ambassador and her
Interned ships In this country. Then it was said
an effort was made to induce Mr. Gerard to
sign a protocol rea%mi n g a treaty between
this country an* Prussia, made in 1828, by
which in event of war it was agreed that private
property should be inviolate and that citizens
or subjects of one country, domiciled in the oth
er. should have nine months in which to close
up their business attain. Last the assertion
was made that German? had been cut off from
her subjects in American and that existing
ditions here had bein so misrepresented,
through British means Df communication, that
it was thought necessary to hold Mr. Gerard
til assurances of fair treatment were given.
Germany never intended to hold Gerard and
Americans in that country as hostages for Gor
mans and German property in this: the game
was so one-sided, with all odds agninst her. that
it would be a reflection ioh the German General
Staff to say that it was contemplated. No pro
tocol was necessary to secure the things agreed
upon in the treaty of il828; German lives and
property are as safe in this country as they are
in that of any other teutral nation.- Germany
has n^yer been out of touch with her ambassa-
• dor and consuls in the United States and knew
as well existing conditions here as any of the
Entente nations. Therefore, the string of ex
cuses is so flimsy aid transparent that one won
dera why it was ev t used.
For one thing Ge many was playing for time.
It is very probable that she did not want Mr.
Gerard to leave, fo re^sons\that were not only
friendly to this cou try but inimical to her best
interests. Perhaps t so- she was manufactifrlng
• public aentiment a home. The whole thing
is in kind with the onibastic propaganda with
which the German |Var Office is so fonA,owen-
tertaining the Germ n public. Germany is pl&y-
ing a deep game; i is]also a desperate game;
• J>ut her General Stai takes no hasty action, and
whatever the reasoi far the detention of Ger
ard. it was part of qeliberate plan.

consider so deli
Abcut the mostt preposterous and absurd
proposition we h£ve had in this cataclysm of
absurdity is the aroposal to call the General As
sembly together) at a cost of $20,000, in extra
ordinary session for the purpose of passing
an appropriates to pay the old soldiers ap
proximately. $41,0001 An expense of nearly
fifty per cent m the gross receipts!
No wonder (feorgia, one of the richest states
the South, is so often called bankrupt, when
en who aspirOHo direct its affairs suggest such
reckless extravagance.
All this, becailse the General Assembly, at its
last- session, faded to make provision to pay
one of the. state's maturing obligations. Once
before, this sqm* body has been called in.extra
session to make good a failure to do what the
iw and the needs of the state, required. Are
•e to continue fo call the members back,
the taxpayers’ expense, to make good the faults
of omission? And this last time on the eve of the
gathering of their,successors in regular session
The suggestion Is in keeping with the hys
teria that has reigned in certain quarters sinci
extra session idea was hatched. The fur
ther it goes, the worse it gets, we shudder to
think what may be coming next.
Like every friend of the Confederate Veter-'
ans of the state, we want to see them get every
.cent that has been set aside for them. The |
state can arrange to pay this without spending I
half of the gross amount to do so. and this |
■hould be done. It has been done before, and
t can be done again.
The appeal to Gov. Harris in .the name of the 1^^
Veterans is a shrewd move. He is a Veteran |
himself and the softest spot in his heart is for. Mis
his former comrades in arms- But the object spent
of this agitation is not to help the Veterans, but ]
under the clonk of so doing, to enable a bunch atnl 1
of politicians to accomplish a purpose much de-i The father of Mr. wiley T
sired. We think Gov. Harris astute enough L qu j te sick at Mr. Tayloi
to see this, and that he will not be misled. After! in Hillsdale Way.
the extra session propaganda has been squelch- of Mr. Taylor. Sr ^
ed. then he and the other real friends of the [ ^ ^ ’ Ujt ^ ^

may pay what it owes. Stuck in tho mud Sometimes
