____________________________ 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.

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.

On June 18 the frontier correspondent of lhe Amsterdam Telegraaf

Future for Canadian Fisheries
"I preiict a wonderful future for
the Canadian fisheries," said Major
Hugh Green, officer in charge of the
fish supplies for the overseas Canadian army, and the imperial board of
trade. "If the war wcrc to end tomorrow the British fish trade would
not be reorganized for at least five
years. The Canadian fisheries should
produce $100,000,000 annually instead
of Ihe $3-1,000,000 produced today."
Is "Alright" Alwrong?
A father writes that his son has
been severly scolded by Iiis schoolmaster for using the phrase "all
right" in its amalgamated form "alright," and asks if ihe latter is not
an abbreviated modern form as legitimate as. say. "already." Far from
being a modern upstart, "alright" is,

Germans Talk of
* The Next War
A Paean for Sea Food
"\ldea Has Taken Hold in Minds of
Prussians
Gen. von 1 icbert, in i speech at
Rathcnow, Prussia, is quoted by thc
Deutsche Pages Zcitung as saying;
"Wc cannot sign a peace before
we have the Flanders coast, a colonial empire and maritime bases.
Should we not realize this now we
must prepare to work for it after the
war in view of the next war."
Gen. liebert's speech was loudly
cheered by his bearers, but it was
criticised by the German press. The
Vorwarrts declared:
"This may prolong the war until
Germany has been so beaten that
even our pan-Germans cannot think
of a 'nest lime.'
Worms, by the irritation that they
cause in the stomach and intestines,
deprive infants of tlie nourishment
that tlicy should derive from food,
and nial-nutrilion is the result. Miller's Worm Powders destroy worms
and correct the morbid conditions in

nutriment of the child is assured and
development ill every way encouraged.

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.
The supply of fish is the only
food supply that is inexhaustible, lithe vast resources of neglected seafood now almost untouched were
utilized, the result would bc 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 bow
to prepare fish for the table. Many-
people have an unfavorable opinion
of fish as food because they have
never eaten it properly cooked.

Prussian Means "Spy"
Spying is just as essential an ingredient of Prussian character as
conceit, indifference to the feelings
of others, jealousy, envy, self-satisfaction, industry, inquisitiveness,
cruelty, veneration for officialdom,
imitativeness, materialism and the
other national attributes that will occur to those who know Prussia, as
distinct from the other German
states.
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. Thc
record docs not slate lhe. number of
fresh woltnds inflicted on his wounded comrades by Ids preliminary operations; but they cannot have been
very serious, for Ids chair became
quite a popular resort, ll is a self-
supporting business, loo. The chair
and mirror were loaned by a patriotic
firm; but the oilier requisites of tlie
trade are paid for b-y the soldiers'
five-cent shaves.
It is also an educational institution, .this barber's corner, like the
rest of the room. Ex-soldicrs learn
to shave the faces and cut thc hair
of their fellow-citizens as tlicy learn
to mend their slioes, or lo act as
carpenters and metal workers,
draughtsmen/and typewriters, bookkeepers and beekeepers, gardeners
and engineers.
A few, quite unfitted for their old
trades, will need special training for
new occupations, and will receive it
freely, as well as money allowances
for their families' support while tlicy
arc being trained. But nearly every
man is able to cam a good living
when be comes out of the convalescent hospital, it remains for his fortunate fellow-countrymen, for whom
he offered his life, to see that he always gets the work lie is best able
to do.

Constancy
When Masculine Constancy Turned
a Sudden Somersault
A .story about I.ord Kitchener, who
was often spoken ol as "the most
distinguished bachelor in the world,"
is being lold. A young member of
his stall when be. was in India asked
for a furlough in order lo go homo
and be married. Kitchener listened
to him patiently, then be said;
"Kcnilvvorth, you're not yet twenty-five. Wait a year. If then you still
desire to do this thing you shall have
leave."
The year passed. The officer once
more proffered his request.
'After thinking it ovcr for twelve
months," said Kitchener, "you still
wish to marryf"
"Yes, sir."
"Very well, jiou shall have your
furlough. And frankly, my boy," 1
scarcely thought there was so milch
constancy in the masculine world."
Kcnilvvorth the. slory concludes,
marched to the door, hut turned to
say as be was leaving: "Thank you,
sir, only it's not Ihc same woman."

Animals Under Fire
Cats Do Not Mind Machine Guns or
Shells
Different animals will act differently under heavy bombardment, thc
same as different men wll. act difTci-
uitly. Dogs, as a rule, have shovvi
greal distress when shells burst near
ihem and howl pitcously. On the
other hand tlicy have been known to
dash along the front of a trench during infantry fire, barking and apparently enjoying the noise. Cats don't
seem to care whether they are shelled or machine guns arc trained on
them, as long as they have a dry
corner and food when they are hungry. There havc been instances of
lost dogs and cats actually venturing Into Britisii trenches during an
engagement. Some of them lived in
cottages near the firing line, others
strayed a long distance, 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, 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.

With a I'liion G< vernment formed at Ottawa, the Cabinet consisting of twelve Conservatives and

socialists and other people still at

electoral district can have no use
to whom tbe loyals can give no

-Germans Talk of
The Next War
Idea Has Taken Hold in Minds of
Prussians
Gen. von Licbert, in n speech at
kiitliinoiv, Prussia, is quoted by the
Deutsche Tagcs Zcitung as saying:
"Wc cannot sign a peace before
ive havc the Flanders coast, a colonial empire nnd maritime bases.
.Should wc not realize ibis now ive
must prepare lo work for it after the
war in vieiv of thc next war."
.Gen. llebert's speech was loudly
cheered by his bearers, but it i-.-as
criticised by tlie German press. The
Vorwii its declared;
"This may prolong thc war until
Germany has been so beaten that
even our pan-Germans cannot think
of a 'next time.'

A Paean for Sea Food
Supply of Fish the Only Food That
Is Inexhaustable
It is estimated that the 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 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.

How Canada Cares for Her Disabled
Soldiers���A New Chance lor
Every Defender
A corner of the cobblers' room In
one of Canada's military convalescent hospitals has been turned into
a barber ��� shop. The barber, of
course, is a soldier, but, unable to
fight, he lias exchanged the bayonet
for the razor. The cobblers, too,
are soldiers in the same situation,
who have exchanged the rillc and
bomb for the hammer and last.
That busy _ room, with cobblers
and barber side by side, is a good
illustration of the astonishing variety of methods employed by the
military hospitals commission, to
equip Canada i disabled defenders
for active service in the field of
peaceful Industry when forced to
quit the field of battle, if a man is
found unsuitable for one occupation,
there is always another to try; and
one of the main objects of the commission is to discover what each
man is suited for.
The barber was a difficult man to
Stilt; but he was suited al last. The
record does not state the number of
fresh wounds indicted on llis wounded comrades by his preliminary operations; but lhcy cannot have been
very serious, for his chair became
quite a popular resort. If is a self-
supporting business, too. Tlie chair
and mirror were loaned by a patriotic
firm; but the other requisites of the
trade are paid for by the soldiers'
five-cent shaves.
It is also an educational institution, this barber's corner, like the
rest of the room. Ex-soldiers learn
to shave the faces and cut the hair
of their fellow-citizens a.s lhcy learn
to iiirnd their shoes, or to act as
carpenters and metal workers,
draughtsmen and typewriters, bookkeepers and beekeepers, gardeners
and engineers.
A few, qui tc unfitted for their old
trades, will need special training for
new occupations, and will receive it
freely, as well as money allowances
for their families' support while Ihey
are bring trained. But nearly every
man is able to cam a good living
when he comes out of the convalescent hospital. It remains for his fortunate fellow-countrymen, for whom
kc offered his life, lo see that he always gels the work he is best able
to do.

Constancy
When Masculine Constancy Turned
a Sudden Somersault
A story about Lord Kitchener, who
uns often spoken of as "the most
distinguished bachelor in the world,"
is being told. A young member of
his staff when he was ill-India asked
for a furlough in order to go home
and be married. Kitchener listened
to him patiently, then lie said:
"lvenilwortli, you're not yet twenty-five. Wait a year. If then you still
desire to do this thing you shall have
leave."
The year passed. The officer once
more proffered his request.
'After thinking it over for twelve
months," said Kitchener, "you slill
wish to marry?"
"Yes, sir."
"Very well, you shall have your
furlough. Anil frankly, my boy, I
scarcely thought there was so much
constancy in the masculine world."
Kcilihvorth the slory concludes,
marched to the door, but turned to
say as lie was leaving: "Thank you,
sir. only it's not the same woman."

SAVE THE CHILDREN
Mothers who keep a box of Baby's
Own Tablets iu the house may feel
that the lives of their little ones arc
reasonably safe during the hot weather. Stomach troubles,' cholera infantum and diarrhoea carry off thousands of litlle ones every summer, in
most cases because the mother docs
not have a safe, medicine at hand to
give promptly, llaby's Own Tablets
cure these troubles, or if given occasionally to the well child will prevent their coming on. The Tablets
arc guaranteed by a government analyst to br absolutely harmless even
to the newborn babe. They arc especially good in summer because
lhcy regulate the bowels and keep
the stomach sweet and pure. They
arc sold by medicine dealers or by
mail at 25 cents a box from The Dr.
Williams' Medicine Co., Brockville,

Hard on the Lions
The Revered Charles H. Spur-
gcon's keen wit was always based on
sterling common sense. One day he
remarked to one of his sons:
"Can you tell me lhe reason why
the lions didn't eat Daniel?"
"No, sir. Why was itr"
"Because the most of him was
backbone and the rest was grit,"���

All Night with Asthma. Everyone
knows how attacks of asthma often
keep their victim awake, the whole
night long. Morning finds liim

and yel. business must still bc carried through. All this night suffering and hick of rest can be avoided
by llu- prompt use of Dr, J. D. Kellogg's Asthma Remedy, which positively dins drive away the attacks.
Animals Under Fire
Cats Do Not Mind Machine Guns or
Shells
Different animals will act differently under heavy bombardment, the
same as different men will act difTci-
cntly. Dogs, as a rule, have showl
great distress when shells burst near
them and howl piteously. On the
other hand they have been known to
dash along the front of a trench during infantry fire, barking and apparently enjoying the noise. Cats don't
stem to care whether they are shelled or machine guns are trained on
them, as long as they have a dry
corner and food when they are hungry, There have been instances of
lost dogs and cats actually venturing into Britisii trenches during an
engagement. Some of them lived in
cottages near the firing line, others
strayed a long distance. 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.
Did you ever slop to think why
there are so many Germans iu America? Well���Germany is lhe answer.

obtained from sunflower seeds is
suitable for margarine manufacture,

'If Canada fails us in October, we must curtail many activities,"���Sir Arthur Stanley, Chairman Ex. Gom, British Red Cross
It now costs $300,000.00 a week to carry on the work of the
British Red Cross, or $16,000,000.00 a year.
Every minute of the day and night it costs $30 to minister to
the sick and wounded and dying.
Last year Canada's magnificent contribution paid for the entire
work of the British Red Cross for nearly seven weeks.
This year, in view of the greater need, it is earnestly and
confidently hoped that Canada's contributions will be as
great proportionately as the magnificent offering of
last year.

COMMENT
The man who wants a referendum on conscription is opposed to
conscription.
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.

The Dutch Potato Puzzle
German Pressure on Holland Has
the Desired Effect
The mystery surrounding the. trouble over potatoes in Holland has
been cleared up. Under the commercial agreement between Great
Britain and Holland, which has been
carried out with a fair degree ol
impartiality, Holland agreed to supply England with so many bushels of
potatoes a month.
All went well till Germany, hearing thai 12,000 tons wcrc to be ship-
will ped to England, demanded 1000 ions
soft: at once, 'ihis was complied with.
Delay ensued in the shipping of the
English supplies, and once more the.
Dutch government pave way lo
German pressure, and shipped what
was intended and required, under
agreement, by England,
(hi the Britisii ambassador declaring lhat the consequences would
he grave if lhe English supplies
were nol made good, the- people
caught up lo llle intrigue, and
knowing thai Germany would slill
demand her share, and would look
upon tho 12,000 tons as an extra,
they started the agitation wliicli ended in riots.
It is an interesting slory, and
shows how easily certain interests

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

"1 do not think," the Premier said,
"lhe lime has come for a full review
of the military situation, 'I'he main

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

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.

both Austrian and German influence.
Count Julius Andrassy was impossible because he is'pro-German and

"Thanks" Not Enough
The Kaiser Will Have to Pay for
These Eggs
Germany will have a lot ni bills to
pay when lln- war i> over ami "ue ol
thc most important of them i^ a Wll
for a basket ni fish and eggs. 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

"On the other hand, his mother is
the best royal product of a tntally
and fundamentally different civiliza-
tioii. Prince William habitually

children sjieak English iu Ure n__d_.
circle.
"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.
"Even now, when I go downstairs
in this hotel to cat my dinner, one-
half the men at thc tables are officers in uniform. The elevator boy
touches his cap to me with a military salute. The waiters when they
rccelve my order turn on their heels
like fusiliers under the eye of a
drill sergeant. The military spirit
pervades everything and everybody.

been the national industry of Prussia since the days of Frederick the

Denmark, Austria, and France in

"The military class is all-powerful
in all the upper and middle and higher grades of society. Little of provocation, of thc popular appeals to
national feeling, would make it master of nine-tenths of tho German
people. Kaiser William IL, In the
glamour of his youthful distinction
of face and figure, of hij deep Teutonic prejudices, of hi] all-controlling belief in himself and hii race and
his destiny, could burl a practically
united Germany cast, west or south
a month after he has ascended th��
Hohcnzollern throne.
"This is not a pleasant or humane
conclusion, hui it is a necessary one.
'ihe lesson taught by Prussia's sue-
ciss, by the rise of the Hohenzollern
dynasty, is an object-lesson In blood
and iron which has not been losl on
any German mind."
Ships Will Be Supplied
Ships and more ships, will bc
needed, and tlicy will bc supplied.
Germany, gloating ovcr the foul
work of her submarines, should consider the evidence that all the carriers required will be available. Our
soldiers and food for them, railroad
materia! for onr new- lines in France,
trucks, hospital supplies, food and
munitions for our allies must lie
transported across the Atlantic. For
all this freight there will be sufficient

The destruction of fruit-bearing

war, and was condemned by thc Jewish code more than 3,000 years ago.
A correspondent of the Spectator
t.itolrs these ancient lines:���
"When thou shalt besiege a city a
long time in making war against it
to lake it, thou shalt not destroy the
trees thereof by wielding an axe
against them; for thou mayst eat of
them, and thou shalt not cut them
down; for is the tree of the field

thee? Only the trees which thou
knowest that they be not trees for
meat thou shalt destroy and cut them
down."���Deuteronomy xx, 19, 2 (Revised Version).
