It In Siiltl, Will Discuss Is . Mie With South .Vmcrican Of ficials Before He Returns. Concern tVII. PHIX.ADKLPH1A, March 10. The staff correspondent of the Philadelphia Press at Washington says: Is thL United States to be faced with the potability of war with Germany for the control of the Panama Canal? Information which is causing the Ad ministration the giaves-t concern has brought out the fact that recent ne gotiations between the Kaiser's gov ern meat and the government of Colom bia have resulted in an tgreement which contemplates the transfer to Germany of certain harbors on the At lantic Coast of .Colombia within strik ing distance of the northern entrance to the canal. Mr. Taft avul bis advisers have al ready taken steps to meet what they realUe will, as soa as the facts are known, be regarded by the vthoie American people as defiance of the Monroe Doctrine by both Colombia and Germany. This startling information has be come known since Secretary of State Knox sailed two weeks ago on his tour of Central and South America, and has been fully confirmed in well-informed navel circles. It throws light upon the recent emphatic renewal of pressure brought to bear upon our Government by Columbia for a prompt settlement f its claim for Indemnity, now under t stood to amount to praci. cully-- H'0.- 0U0.000. According to this information. Colombia, with the mailed fist of Ger many behind her. is now backing up heir demands with the threat that if our Government does not meet her views, or at least agree to arbitrate. Colom bia will dispose of these harbors, either by lease or by outright sal to Gor many, thus assuring the latter power not only a base of supplies for a fleet, but a foothold on American soil such as has long bden coveted and planned for by the Kaiser. Osplnor Letter Accounted I'ot. It Is this understanding with Ger many, it is declared, that accounts for the "personal'" letter of the late Co lombian Minister at Washington, Senor General Nei Ospina, to the State De partment, asserting that Secretary Knox would not be a welcome visitor to his country during the Secretary's pres ent tour. In inncc circles in Washing ton, no doubt exists that there was a complete understanding between the government at Bofcata and Its represen tative here. If anything were lacking to confirm that view. It is furnished by the fact that the Intimation that a visit from the Secretary of Sate would be inopportune was renewed by the charge d'affaires of the Colombian Le gation almost immediately after the recall of Senor Ospina. a recall which, it may be asserted on the highest au thority, was not demanded by this Gov ernment, which from the first has pro fessed to make light of the Ospina in cident. As a matter of fact, there is the best of reason for believing that since the knowledge of Germany's negotiations with Colombia reache'd the State Dc- i Concluded on Pane '1.1 IN BEHALF OF HIS OWN CAMPAIGN. .. . .. . - -A ' i. . - - r Vallcjo Resident, Viewing Bespat tered Exterior of Dwelling, Hues Profitable Trick of Trade. VALL.EJO.. Cal., March 10. (Special.) When a certain thrifty society ma tron of Vallejo surveyed the exterior of her handsome home this morning she discovered that it had been plastered with eggs venerable, moth-eaten eggs, that jarred upon the sensitive society nostrils. The thrifty matron understood and wept. Her own thrift had brought this omelette coating to her home. As for other society matrons of Aral lejo, less thrifty than the first-named, I. they gaze far away when asked about the bombardment of their erstwhile friend's dwelling. - but say with con viction that they'll never buy any more ( eggs from her and, for that matter, they'll never speak to her again. There s a reason. The thrifty ma tron was wont to brag of the superior q.uality of the eggs served on her ta ble, furnished from her own coop. Her friends were interested. It was so hard to get fresh eggs from one's gro cer. Mrs. Thrifty couldn't spare any of hers, of course. Oh my, yes, she could! She would be delighted to accommodate a few of her friends that they might taste real eggs again. Her friends cooed grate fully over this generosity and as grate fully paid Mrs. Thrifty five cents a dozen over the prevailing market price for the eggs. Then came days when Mrs. Thrifty's marvelous hens declined to lay mar velous eggs. They declined to lay any kind of eggs. Mrs. Thrifty saw her profits fleeting. She was tempted, and she fell. She bought common or gar den variety of eggs and sold them at a five-cent bonus, us the real de luxe cackle fruit. Beside being wretched form, this coup de business was Mrs. Thrifty's Waterloo. Her friends and patrons discovered the deception and returned the eggs. EDITOR TO HEAD SCHOOL Philadelphia Press Man to Direct Pulitzer College of Journalism. NEW YORK, March 10. (Special.)
