Omens and Portents Tlie letter tbat lay beside J ____________________________ Hilary; Strangways' plate om- morning about a fortnight after Dolly Egcrton's: disappearance was from Mr. Langton. Tlie address was the Hotel dc la Marine in a fishing village on the north coast of France. "My dear Strangways,���I feel that 1 have been treating you badly keeping you in suspense. You know what bas happened���I was obliged to tell Margaret, How I bated it. But it had to be done I She took it like a heroine. They have disappeared for the present, even from you; from me, unless I am needed. Margaret was wild to get her mother away���where she would hoar nothing. We have found what we believe to be a safe place, What will happen afterwards, I do not know. Wc have taken the first step. Afterwards Who knows but tbe world may end tonight? Yours faithfully, "Gervase Langton." Hilary's reply, as anyone might have anticipated who was aware of his disposition, was to take the Continental express. Luckily be had plenty of lime for it���and to arrive at the Hotel de la Marine, Audigiiac, sometime, in the early afternoon. Hc was met by a white-aproned patron with a manner of beaming affectlonateness, who welcomed him warmly and informed him that Moti. sietir Langton was absent and not expected till the hour of dinner. Madame, sitting behind a range ol many-colored bottles, knitting industriously, lifted her olivc-hueu face, which thc long, blue car rings became amazingly, and reminded Gustave that Monsieur bad walked to Marquette to see the church. "It is possible that after Monsieur has refreshed himself lie may wish to walk across the dunes to meet Monsieur Langton, who always returns the same way." Monsieur refreshed himself, and was shown his bedroom, which was In lhc Chateau du Bois, just across the road from the Hotel dc la Marine. His host and hostess both accompanied hini to make a selection of his room. Tlicy were obviously proud of their possession of a Chateau du Bois which they used as an annex when the hotel was full lo overflowing, as it had been up to thc first week in September. The Hotel de la Marine had little room for guests. Monsieur should have the Chateau du Bois to himself. He would not feci too solitary. Why, the Chateau grounds were alive with birds. It was just such a green sol- ilude as Monsieur and Madame bad pictured to themselves when they had lived In Paris, before tlicy bad come to tins villainous place. Presently Monsieur and Madame wcrc going to retire on a modest competence and live in the Chateau du Hois in company with the blue-eyed black-gowned daughter whose pic- tun- they had pointed out to Hilary while he refreshed himself; was at 1 present, poor -fegcl, a widow In Paris with four small angels of children. l'.ois nbl :olii melancholy Audlgnac he had a mind to stay a bit, unless events brought him back to England sooner than he expected. As lie went down the village street he nii'l a cure, a brisk, red faced Utile man, with _ mop of red curls, who greeted liim with a beaming smile, and would have passed on his way if Hilary had not slopped him. Hilary bad a gift of tongues which had been very useful to liim in thc career he had chosen for himself. lie explained easily to Monsieur Ic Cure that be was to be housed in ihc Chateau du Bois, but that he did not wish to sleep llicrc Iill the floor of his room had been scrubbed, tlle draperies and carpets turned out of doors, and the windows cleaned. M. le Cure understood perfectly, lie shrugged bis shoulders over Monsieur nud Madame and the Chateau du Bois. Would .Mansicur like to go elsewhere. There was a widow���an excellent creature���-whose rooms were of a cleanliness. True, she followed the business of washerwoman, which might not be altogether agreeable to Monsieur. Still for llis part be would prefer that to the Chateau du Bois, which was closed in by trees. Good-natured Hilary preferred lo stay at the Chateau, fearing lest he should offend Monsieur and Madame Dufour, whom lie found an interesting couple, true Parisians cast away in this Ultima Tliule, far from artists thc theatres, the boulevards, all that made life worlh living. Well then, the Cure would send him at once a woman who could be trusted to clean. If Monsieur would but indicate the room he should find all done before he went to bed. He could trust poor Margot. She was deaf and dumb, but she understood wonderfully; and Monsieur le Cure had learned the finger alphabet so that lie might communicate with ber. Margot would bring her scrubbing brush, her pail, her soap. Would it not be well if Monsieur bad a fire in his room so that the floor should dry after being washed and not. run tlie risk of giving Monsieur cold? Max got would bc home by this time. She worked for an English Monsieur who lived ovcr there���thc Cure indicated the swelling line of the dimes against the sky���but she came home to her little liouse at five o'clock in the afternoon. M. le Cure would give her all instructions. Poor Margot! She was a pitiful creature of the good God���a saint, almost, a penitent They parted with compliments on either side; and Hilary following the instructions he had received turned off across the sand dunes. He found the upward sloping road and took it, passing on his right the old Church of St. Pierre, which stood solitary amid ils graves out on the lonely dunes. He bad seen the church from the village of Audigiiac and had thought it very near. It was in reality more than n mile. The old iwelfih century church, squat and strong, supported on its great arches, had au air of being pressed into the earth. The graveyard, full of wooden crosses blown one way by the sea wind was desolate behind ils embankment, tlie tops of crosses peering ovcr at the living who passed that way down to the cheerful village. Many of the dead of Audigiiac wcrc not in the churchj-ard, but in thc gray sea, by which the village lived, by which the men of it so often died. Up and up the road went, between the dunes covered with coarse grasses on which the sheep cropped. At the top of the bill there was a farmhouse, or Hilary conjectured it to be a farm bouse, hidden away behind a blank space of eyeless wall, He went on and met a shepherd keeping his sheep, wearing a smock-frock and carrying a crook. 'lhe, shepherd's amiable dog came forward and fawned on Hilary, who stooped to pat il, ami had to listen lo lhe Three Years Too Late Peace Proposals Might Have Had More Weight Three Years Ago If lhc pope, immediately after his election "in September, 191-1, bad issued the appeal for peace which he now makes, ifc would have been an act of Christian statesmanship Jtoi'thy of the great organization which he heads. At that time peace on ihc basis of the status quo ante without reparation, with an agreement for general disarmament, on the broad principle of forgive and forget might have been possible, so far as the allies arc concerned. It would have failed probably through lhc scornful rejection by Germany, who was then looking forward to an easy and early triumph and lhe mastery of the world, but it would have established the Influence of the Vatican in the right quarter. Three years of war, however, wilh its experiences of every form of ^rightfulness and savagery, have made it quite impossible for the civilized world to place ihe confidence in Germany which ii might have given then or lo feel lhal il can again trust its security to any promises of the. present German government. More than that, the world ol civilization cannot consent that any of thc principles which are at tlie base of German policy and ambition shall bc further recognized. The matter of reparation is not merely one of justice, but primarily of future security. Unless Germany pays a heavy penally for what she lias done, she will never take, to heart tbe lesson that she must nol do it again.. The penalty imist bc heavy enough to convince the German people'to a man that they cannot afford a government representing the ideas and principles for which lhe present German and Austrian governments stand in this war; that they must win back their place among men by accepting the modern ideas of liberty and democracy and repudiating wholly the ancient barbarisni of race domination by force. It is three years too late to talk of peace oil the old status quo. The pope should have proposed that when Germany was winning, instead of wailing till Germany has abandoned hope of the world conquest and is oil the verge of collapse.���Buffalo Express.

Supply of Fish the Only Food That Is Inexhaustable It Is estimated that tbe fish consumption is about twenty pounds to the person a year. The consumption of meat is about one hundred and seventy pounds per capita a year; these are averages, of course, but they arc approximately correct. The price of meat is about double that of fish. It would make a great difference in the cosl of living if people ate more fish and less meat.

Heroes Learn Trades How Canada Cares for Her Disabled Soldiers���A New Chance for Every Defender A corner of the cobblers' room lu one of Canada's military convalescent hospitals lias been turned into a barber's shop. The barber, of course, is a soldier, but, unable to fight, lie lias exchanged the bayonet for the razor. The cobblers, too, are soldiers in the same situation who have exchanged the rille a id bomb for the hammer and last. That busy room, with cobblers and barber side by side, is a good illustration of Ibe astonishing variety of methods employed by thc military hospitals commission, to equip Canada's disabled defenders for active service in lhe. field of peaceful industry wlien forced lo quit the field of battle. If a man is found unsuitable for one occupation, there is always another lo try; and one of the main objects of lhe commission is to discover what each man is suited for. The barber was a difficult man to suit; but he was suited al last.

Want To Know Why Under Democracy We Will Know the Reason In Germany, under autocracy, lhcy say "Verboten" and that ends it. Nobody dares ask why. In a democracy lhc multitude is accustomed to ask vhy when anyone says "Verboten." The kaiser can kick a premier around the block and the plain people may say nothing. Tlie autocrat may decree foodless days if he wishes and woe betide him who asks questions. Under democracy we will know the reason. W'e have the right to ask why! Onc of the first things American children learn is to ask why. Onc of the first things Gtrrnian children learn is to obey! And so all lhc children of the earth may have their chance to ask why the democracies of the world arc going (o kick the last "verboten" sign off the planet. The eternal desire to ask and learn and reason is goin-. to bc enthroned as the supremest thing on earth. And that, in a very plain, simple way, is what it's all about. Did you ever stop to think why there arc so many Germans iu America? Well���Germany is the answer. ���Wisconsin Stale Journal.

The consumption of meat is about one hundred and seventy pounds per capita a year; these arc averages, of course, but they are approximately correct. The price of meat is about double that of fish. It would make a great dilTcr- ciicc in the cost of living if people ate more fish and less meat. The supply of fish is the only food supply that is inexhaustible. If the vast resources of neglected seafood now almost untouched were utilized, the result would be a great saving of meat and a great reduction in the family living expenses. Fish is delicious and nourishing food, and it seems remarkable that so little of it is consumed. The food controller appears lo have as one of his main objects the conservation of the meat supply, One of the most practical ways of doing this would be to educate the people to make greater use. of fish. One way to obtain a greater appreciation of fish would be to supply the public with information about its food value, and recipes for its preparation. A great many people do not understand how- to prepare fish for the table. Many people have an unfavorable opinion of fish as food because, they have never eaten it properly cooked.

A west county yeomanry contingent was adopted in the thick of a fight by a black cat, which survived a bombardment that killed many men, and has since lived sumptuously in billets with an identification disc around its neck. Want To Know Why Under Democracy We Will Know the Reason In Germany, under autocracy, Ihey say "Verboten and that ends it. Nobody dares ask why. In a democracy the multitude is accustomed to ask .hy when anyone says "Verboten." The kaiser can kick a premier around the block and the plain people may say nothing. The autocrat may decree foodless days if he wishes and iioe betide him who asks questions. Under democracy we will know the reason. Wc have the right to ask why! One of the first things American children learn is to ask why. One of the first things German children learn is to obey! And so all tlm children of the earth may have their chance to ask why the democracies of thc world are going to kick lire last "verboten" sign off the planet. The eternal desire to ask and learn and reason is goin-r to bc enthroned as the sup rem est thing on earth. And that, in a very plain, simple way, is what it's all about.

He who says conscription should be referred to the people hopes lhe people will defeat it. "Conscription���but conscription of wealth too" is another excuse. The ma.i who says that is against conscription, Conscription is Mie proper thing, That is why its opponents dare not onpose it openly That is why they talk of a referiidum and of conscription of wealth, A referendum on conscription is illogical. Why ask a man if he is willing to be forced? If he is willing he need not be forced. If Germany wins we shall have conscription as a peace policy. How will Ihe antis like that? There are thousands of people in Canada winning ti e .war by these days by passing resolutions and signing petitions, We could have saved thousands ot lives if we had known three years ago that the war could lie won by the tongue and pen, Agitators in Quebec sav they would fight only it Canada is threatened, litil if an invading a my should land in Quebec n would be repelled only by troops front other provinces. Those who are opposed to conscription are also opposed to volttn tary enlistmefit, We cannot win the war with a referendum. The survivors of the first contingent who have to slay at the front because they are needed are the only men who have reason to complain about compulsory service Quebec is against conscription, btu if Quebec haa done, it's share we would not need conscription.

Otherwise Hope Must Be Abandoned for "Honorable" Peace (ietu von Ardenne, military critic of the Berlin Tageblatt, warns the German army leaders that they must bestir themselves to find some strategic or tactical means of winning a decisive victory on the western front, and of defeating England, thc soul of thc hostile coalition, on land; olh- erwi.se, he says, there is no hope, of bringing the war lo an honorable end for Germany, German leadership, Gen. Ardenne maintains, always has been able to direct the campaign into nnv courses when stagnation threatened, and he adds that the Germans are entitled lo believe mollioils will be found to force mighty England through batiks on land lo seek peace, The military critic intimates this might be done by an attempt to overwhelm lhc French army, which, he assumes i.s weakened and discouraged, before the arrival of American assistance, which, hc says, would leave England isolated.

WHEAT RESERVES STEADILY ON THE INCREASE German Espionage The United States Swarming Wilh German Spies "There are 100,000 German spies on United Stales soil," said Mr, Over senate I Britain Has Food and Ships to Last Uniil 1919, If Necessary, and Figures Show that Shipping Losses ate Steadily Growing Smaller, and the Submarines are Doomed to Failure the issago of nld have well if lull dozen A message of hope and quiet confidence in the future was recently given lo the British nation in tlu house of commons by Premier Lloyd George. The people of the Brilish Isles cannot be starved, despite' the German submarine campaign, he declared, and the military situation emus more hopeful. The difficulties of the Allies will grow less and their troubles of Germany will Increase und her power fall away. "This is lh" supreme hour for pa- llcnce," the Premier declared, lu conclusion, "for courage, for endurance, for hope, [or unity. Lei us go through this hour with a temper thai will enable us to destroy a greal military despotism. Let ns go tlirougli this hour with ll hi tern per ol our race, su thai next year wc shnll begin, and the world shall be. Kin, to reap the fruits of our valor," The Premier said he agreed lhal the people of the country wire all lhc better for being told even unpalatable trilllr��, but they also must he told the truth, even if il was palatable. 'Ihey could not exercise reasonable judgment or come to delirious regarding facts unless both llie cherry and discouraging sides were presented to Ihein, I'he Premier said he. proposed to deal with the food situation and sub marines, because special efforts were being made to create an impression noi justified in flic least by the fads, Earlier in the year he had cailed attention to the very anxious condition of the food supply. Since, then, owing largely to the .energetic efforts of Baron Devonpon, the. former food controller, and organization bv the shipping controller, the situation hail improved considerably. This time last year the wheat in this country amounted to 6,480,000 quarters and now it is 8,500,000. The slock of both oiits and barley, the Premier added, also was higher. There has been a considerable saving in bread consumption and, owing to closer milling and food economy, there has becn an addition to lhc wheat stock of 70,000,000 quarters per week. lie still urged economy in view of the general wheat position. The more the counlry economized, thc less it would have to draw upon the reser voirs of the United States and Can ada, from which Italy and France al so have to draw. There had been an increase also' in the reserve of sugar. The necessary labor for the harvest was forthcoming and, by spring, there will be 8,000 tractors. The Premier added: "With reasonable economy there is no chance of starving out the people of these islands." Dealing with the shipping situation, the Premier said that the Germans had been busy circulating figures regarding the destruction of shipping. J hey were doing it in Germany to cheer up their own peo- . pie, and were circulating a set of figures throughout Germany and Austria, on thc authority "of the German admiralty, with lhe object- of creating the impression that England could not last much longer. The unrestricted submarine campaign began in February, and by April, the Premier said, England had lost 560,000 Ions of shipping in one month. The German official figures, he added, claimed that England was losing between 450,000 and 500,000 monthly, after allowing for new construction. The figures of 560,000 tons for April was gross. In Tunc the losses had fallen to .-0,0-0 tons gross. This announcement vas cheered loudly, Iri addition, the Premier said, he had taken step; for quickening shipbuilding and had ordered a good many ships abroad In 1915 the new tonnage built was 688,000 tons. In 1916 it was 533,000 Ions. For the first six months of this year it was 480.000 tons. The tonnage acquired during the lasl six months of the year, the Premier added, would be 1,430,000 of which 1,0(10,0(10 was being built in Great Britain. 'The tolal for the year would be 1,900,000 tons. The Premier declared lhat the net shipping losses were far from being whal the Germans claimed. They were 250,000 (uns monthly, and if the present improvement was maintained the net loss for Julv and August will be 175,000 tons each, The figures showed that the admiralty was meeting with considerable success in combatting the submarines. ^ The shipping controller had organized shipping by means of better loading and discharging of ships more, quickly, and by taking ships off longer voyages, so that, although the tonnage was diminished, they were carrying more tons. Till; was in addition to the large naval construction. Premier Lloyd George said he he lieved the losses would grow small er. He was sure construction would increase if more ships were still needed. If the United States pu forward her full capacity, as he had no doubt she was preparing lo do in ter own thorough way, there would tin- for erg- be sufficient tonnage not only foi whole of 1.18, bin, if necessary 1919, "1 do not think," the Premier said, "lhe lime has come for a full review of the military situation, 'I'he main fuels are well known to llie house and the country. I had anticipated this year a great converging movement againsl our foe. Russia, was equipped fur lhal part as she nevei before bad been equipped, t, venture In say lhal the nippers were begin- ujllg lo grip, but to be quite frank, s claw of the nippers is out of repair for the 'moment, and therefore WC havo not gol that same coin ing pressure wc had anticipated. 'Hut things are mending, The sli nation in Kussia is a very difficult me, and 1 should be sorry lo say uiyltliiig which would make it more difficult, because it is quite obvious u cannot rven state facts without embarrassing those who are trying restoro the situation in that country. But while they arc doing il bravely, with great courage, and. I think, with great thoroughness, the brunt of the fighting must fall upon olhcr counlries. And considering all the difficulties with which we are confronted _ our armies have won very conspicuous successes. "It is difficult even to dwell upon the difference which the temporary collapse of the Russian military power has made in the task with which our soldiers are confronted." Mr. Lloyd George said that Brilish d visions which have been fighting and temporarily are exhausted pass behind the lines uniil they are reformed, but that the German divisions in the same condition go to Russia and hold a front which "docs not impose severe military obligation, while fresh divisions from Russia come to the western front. That increased the number of Germans on the western front. Under those conditions, what hail been achieved was one of the most brilliant episodes in the hist the^ British army. "The best Germany can-do now," Mr. Lloyd George continued, "when what practically was her most powerful opponent at the beginning of the war is paralyzed by internal difficulties, is to hold her own against the attacks of the Britisii and French. And she is not quite doing ii. On the contrary, in this year she has been beaten iu several great battles with severe losses, and with hundreds of her guns captured which is not a bad test of winning or losing a battle. "With Russia recovered and America really in, with those fine troops of which wc saw a specimen yesterday, and which were a symbol of America, coming iikp this worltl struggle with a virile'swing���Ihosc are the things the Germans and their allies will have to think about." tory A Record Breaker Russ Watchmakers Win Unique Rights in Recent Strike The watch repairers of Petrograd have won a slrike that is record breaking in its demands. Every watch repairer who received 200 roubles a month has been raiser, to 300. Those who received over .00 have had an increase of 50 per ccnl. These increases are retroactive and go back lo January 1, 1917, Every watch repairer in Petrograd, there fore, has received, in cold cash re- ntly, at least 600 roubles. Every watch repairer from hriu forth will receive a month's on full pay. Every year his wages will be increased the a month's pay. Winn he is siek he will receive full wages lor Ihrcc months. If he is called to war h will receive a month's wages and also a bonus of one month's v iiti man, on the floor of lhe other day, in urging lhe the espionage bill, lie w proved his point just as had said there were half really clever spies iu the country. It may do us no harm, one writer points out, if there are. 100,000 spies in our midst, but onc wireless plant concealed in the heart of the Cat- skifls or in that most obscure place of all, the roof of a city building, would do harm enough. There arc two kinds of German spies who may be called "military" and "psychological," lor example, Germany had spies all over Ireland before the war. They told Prince Licknowsky, the German ambassador li London, lhal Ireland would. iise in revolution the moment England declared war. Si> ihe prince lold the kaiser thai he could count on England's being unable in take a huge part in a general war. lorn as sin- would he by internal dissension. Licknowsky had a waiter anil a governess working in county Cork, They reported '.hat Southern Ireland was a network of revolutionary plots. But the Irisli, alter the identification of the spies, showed lhal waiter and governess had "loafed on the job." They were paid for sending reports lo the German embassy, and tlicy had to send something. If they had said Ihere was no plot, there would have been no more work for them to do. Ami their superior, thc German agent who directly employed Ihem, thought he would have lost his job if hc had nothing to tell the ambassador, So that by the time the reports were assembled in the Berlin intelligence office lhcy were magnified beyond recognition. Thus psychology 'double crossed" tlie psychologists, and when the prince went back to Berlin he was disgraced for not having foreseen that the Irisli problem would nol tear the British empire asunder. British Successes Greatly Exceed Enemy in Number ol Prisoners Taken "Remember," says an aeule student of the war, Mr. Frank Simonds, "that the Britisii now have to their credit a long series of local successes. They have in the lasl year captured at least 75,000 German prisoners, probably nearer 100,0111), with a loss of less than 10,000 prisoners themselves. They have taken between 400 and 500 guns without losing ii single piece and they have driven the Germans back at all points when they have attacked. 'I'hey have established an artillery superiority frankly conceded by the Germans. "And here," for llle present, it would seem the western situation must stand. It is v.ailing, I believe, for the arrival of sufficient American troops to give thc allies in the we^t that numerical superiority in reserve necessary to hear the great losses incident lo a general, sustained of fensive like tiie Somme, which cosl lhc British and ihe French not less than 750,000 killed and wounded, and the Germans between 600,000 and 700,000. Hungary's Future Appointment of New Premier Is Step Toward Independence The appointment of Dr. Alexander Wekcrle as Hungarian premier marks a step of the inmost importance toward real democratization end complete independence from both Austrian and German influence. Count Julius Andrassy was impossible because he is'pro-German and the. anti-German element has gained the tipper hand in Hungary. On the other hand, Hungarism of the new premier is above reproach, He is I Known to be no friend of Germany. THE PRESENT WAR WAS PREDICTED BY U.S. WRITER THIRTY.

Ihere is today "at an English port," as the censor makes us say nowadays, fisherman who is mighty anxious for the war to come to an end. lie is a poor man and therefore the hill he holds-ligaiiist the kaiser is all the more important lo him. This certificate of indebtedness will br- handed to the German emperor personally if the fisherman has his way. It so happened that one peaceful afternoon in the early days uf the war, while alone in his boat, within rifie shot of the harbor, a submarine sud- ritnlv emerged alongside. Before the man had time to inli overboard from fright an officer stuck his head out of the conning lower, and in perfect English asked if In- could have some fish. "Sun-," said lhe excited lishe.- man, as he turned over a basketful. ''Can you get us som^eggs?" asked liie German. "Sure," said lhe man In the boat, and promptly pulled I'm- llie shore, disappeared inlo his hill and reappeared with several dozen eggs, which he brought out to ilu hungry submarine crew. Then instead of offering to pay, ihe crew said "Thanks," and closing down the hatch, disappeared from view The fisherman explains that he thought they were English, otherwise he would not have supplied Ihein. The fact that the kaiser was destined to play the role of the modern Attlla and become the scourge of Europe was prophesied nearly thirty years ago iu a remarkable article published in the New Vork Times in April 1888 by Harold Frederic, the iamous novelist and correspondent At that date, of course, the kaiser was still crown prince of Prussia, and Mr. Frederic, who was in Berlin on behalf of his newspaper, had many opportunities of coming in contact with him. "One shudders," Mr. Harold Frederic wrote, "as one pals the mild, contemplative head of the bloodhound solely because lhe stories that have been told of the terrible ferocity which.lurks under this sleek and gentle exterior. In the same way you look into ihc face of this young heir of the Hohenzollerns and remember with wondering reservations the malignant tales wliicli ha-.e been told of his inner nature by those who knew it best. "Their dislike for him is based on a general conception of his character. This view is that he is utterly" cold, entirely selfish, wantonly cruel, a young man without conscience or compassion, lie is saturated with al! the instincts and ideas which havc ., I raised this parvenu Prussia to i.- , present eminence, and his character is the crown and flower of two centuries of might with ruthlessness and spoliation exalted Into a creed.

"We ail know that it is a mer* matter of months before he will be lhc autocratic master of 2,000,000 armed men. The question is, what will he do? The most common answer is that he will overrun Europe. It seems very probable that some future Taine, a century hence, pcrhapi. will write to show that William II. of Prussia and the German empire was a mysterious belated survival of the ante-mediaeval Goths and Vandals���an Attila born a thousand and more years after his time. "Nobody with eyes in his head could have passed the week just ended in Berlin without recognizing that if a fire-brand comes to thc throne the materials are close- crowded upon him for a terrible conflagration.
