On Huyfivs left, as he well '.knew, there was another post, but at this at first he dared not look. Then by a great effort he turned his head and looked. There it wus, and, most horrible to see, there Eira stood against it, she, too, secured by a chain drawn fast ubdut Iter waist. She was very'-pale, but she held herself upright, withy liter hands clasped before her and her face turn? ed upwards.

Keese continued- "There is no need to try you at all, for we have.all seen you doing what not a man of ns would ever have believed the meanest white woman living would have done. You have gone against your own race and your own sex. and you have been ready to help the murderers of another white woman to escape. Worse even than that, yon actually tried to escape with them." - His face and voice expressed a genuine horror that was stamped also on iiiG face of every listener. They al!; thought Bira's action a crime beyond credence; not one of them, in fact, would have believed it possible had they not thought they had seen it themselves���������it was to them the unpardonable sin. The loathing and abhorrence they felt towards the two men was intensified tenfold towards the woman who they thought had betrayed her Womanhood, her sex, her race, everything that they held sacred. "You pack of fools," began Hugh at the top of his voice, but he got no further, for the man Jabe_ promptly aimed a heavy blow at him. Hugh guarded it with his arm rnd so avoided the full force of it, but it struck him down al! the same. - "Bring them along,' said Editor Keene. Men seized hold of them and hurried them to the spot where those throe post's had been fixed upright in the ground. Another wagon laden with wood had joined the first that had issued from the bush. Both were quickly approaching; behind, a third was visible, loaded, too. with dry wood. In the west the glowing rim of the sun just dipped beneath the horizon. ii Ii ^ CHAPTER XXVIII. / Death at the Stake Each one of the prisoners was thus hurried in the centre ot a group of their captors, and none of them* could Fi-e what was happening to the others. Hugh, a little dazed by the blow he had just received, found himself' pushed with his back against one of the tall, thick posts, whose use he had wondered concerning. One man held him the.', by the throat, and ha could not resist for others held his arms. He felt something hard and tight drawn round his waist, and thero was a sound of someone 'hammering behind. Ho could feel the post against which he was held quivering with the force of the blows. "What, are you doing?" ho said, and then, "I am an Englishman and you will have to answer for this."

He was aware of an impulse to open his mouth and scream, and scream, and scream, aud never cease- To the preternatural clearness with which the moment before he had seen'and understood everything there now succeeded a dull haze of horror, tiiruugh which he seemed to see the men about him, like devils moving to. and fro. He could not believe in the reality of what was happening. "What are you doing with that wood?" he said to the men busy about hini- Tliey looked at him sideways, but none of them answered. They were very pale and silent, but very resolute. He lifted his eyes to the heaven above with a belief that from there same voice must come, some sign be shown, io save them from a. fa.te so awful. But the sky, soft with the shades of evening, showed nothing, and the wood the men were piling about him reached now above his middle. . , ��������� . From the sky his eyes turned to search over the prairie, for he thought he might see an army there, marching to their rescue. But all that was visible upon its vast expanse was a few buggies and wagons, and two men on horseback, and a woman riding. Most of these were just settlers of the neighborhood hastening lest they sohuld be late for a rare spectacle. But all were not, for one of the foremost was an old man with a strange, noseless face who rode wildly* and behind him, a long way be- liind him, the one woman rode desperately too, as if with some purpose other than the mere fascination of horritle t.h'ngs. Hugh turned his eyes away from the prairie and looked towards his uncle. Mr. Hetherington was still unconscious, and Hugh envied him. Then the thought struck him to wonder what his colleagues of tne London Stock Exchange, those respectable, top-hatted, frock-coated men, would think it they could see the senior partner in Messrs.'Hetherington, Financiers, Lombard street, in his present position. The incongruity of the thing seemed to him so wild that he laughed. "Hullo," said .Tabe?: limit.'who was one of these arranging the dry wood about him, "glad you see the fun of the thing." "Got to answer for this to England, hey, Mr. Britisher?" said another. "Why. no," said Hugh; "to God, I think." They looked a Utile uncomfortable nt that, but said nothing. Their work finished, they went away, and Hugh wns left standing breast high In carefully arranged faggots or wood. Ho turned his head and looked towards Eira.

Although no one answered him, he saw how they all looked in one direction, and he moved his position and looked that way, too, past the loaded wagon. Now he saw Eira, looking at him palely over the piled wood that surrounded her, and at that he gave a" great and lamentable cry. "She is the worst of them all," saht Keene.

Conflict The Press Bureau's official eye-witness al the British front sends a new version of German aims gleaned from captured German officers, who say that the Austrian empire is to be dismembered, part of it going to Italy and part of it to Germany. This is Hk price, according to these officers Au'_- Irla must pay for the failure-of her arms. tt is said in addition by these men that Germany will Insist upon Ihe annexation of Belgium to a new Gorman confederation, to include all Germanic peoples and the Scandinavians. Antwerp, according to these views, which are pronounced with, great assurance, is lo be made an international port, and the whole of this scheme is to be brought about through 'the offices of the Pope. "Conversation 'with captured officers and the better educated prisoners lias thrown considerable light on the views of the general situation now held by the German army. "It is freely acknowledged that Germany started the war, but opinion seems to be divided regarding her intention to occupy Belginm permanently. The belief is that she would not have crossed the _Ieuse if England had remained neutral. The belief is thai she would have advanced through South Belgium ������nd Luxemburg, thinking Great Britain would take it in the right way, as long as" Germany maintained that she desired no territory in Europe not already occupied by German-speaking people. It is admitted that Germany's strategic frontier in the Yosges must be improved. "The most important poiut in the views now held is a frank admission that since the Austrians have failed so badly in the present way and have had to be bolstered up by the armed strength of Germany she will have to" pay for it. and must hieeu. "The German prisoners hold that the Austrian empire will cease to exist. The Germans will give away some of its territory to Italy, and will include the Gerii.an,speaking portion of Austria in the German empire, and also Luxemburg. "The Germans will welcome the Duchy of Poland as a buffer between themselves and Russia, and will in- .sist on Belgium joining-th'e GeTinan zollerein, Antwerp becoming an international port. ,' "There will he a g^fat central Eur- "-i.be Germanic 'the Scandinavian.

Has Many Advantages Over Those ���������, In Use by Other isiatlons The British navy has developed a new type of mine, which, according to the Scotsman, marks a new era in this branch of warfare. The German and French oflating mines have not presented such a very difficult problem, because it hati been comparatively easy to sweep them up, owing to their suspension tackle. The new British mine has no floats and no tackle. It can be ejected from a torpedo lube or Incontinently thrown overboard. If desired, it can be set to rest qii the sea floor until the minute chosen by those placing it, when it will come up, not to the surface, but to tho proper depth at which to meet the rushing bows of a ship. As soon as the mine, floating free, reaches a certain depth there is set up a series of movements which put into operation a flny propeller, and Mils promptly kicks the mine up to the proper hivel, and then stops until again called upon.

The plan is being carried out by certain German newspapers in tne United States. Peo-_ pie are asked to send in their gold rings, which arc said to be forwarded to Germany, ostensibly to "assist the Red Cross Fund, but it is believed to help swell the kaiser's gold reserves. In return for the gold ring the donor is sent an iron band to be worn as a mark of devotion to his country. The rings are inscribed in .German:-"To the old Fatherland, my faith to prove, I give in time of stress gold for this iron." The scheme is understood to have been worked extensively in the United States.

That was last season when the supply was abnormal and financial depression prevalent. This .year when financial conditions are more promising and the apple crop is sure to be curtailed it might be possible for a well-organized selling agency to dispose of several cars at different points on the same plan at a slightly higher price���������getting the veal money without any thirty or sixty day wait. It strikes us this system of marketing should not be overlooked. The real prosperity from this year's crop will be felt first in the smaller centres where the grain is marketed. At points where the retailor lias a reputation for pushing the nale of frail at a reason able uiiu&'ui of profit it may be found wise to let him have the trade in that particular section, but in places where the retailers' purchases of fruit is below the district's reasonable needs no, selling agency should hesitate to do business direct with tho ������������������on hi inter.

While the passing of Manitoba's administration into Grit hands may affect the federal Conservative organization of. that province to some extent the saner element in the party will more or less openly rejoice that the end has come. Several days before the end came the Ottawa Citizen, which has quite a reputation for beitig Premier Borden's mouthpiece, remarked: "Manitoba methods are bringing disgrace on Canada. They have done more than one ill service in this Dominion in recent years; from the plundering of natural resources to tho insulting of a British minister of the crown, from the neglect of state education to the organization of ignorance and greed and vice into a political machine, and a low standard of political morality."

Dis- rMiasing the liklihood of all tho British Columbia overseas troops boiug mobilized in the Okanagan the Herald says: ''Vernon may be an ideal spot but why wasn't Cranbrook considered? Vernon must havo a representative atOttawa and some strong politioal friends which wo must admit Cranbrook does not powioss." If wc read the paragraph aright the Herald seems surprised that Ii. K. Groou. M.P., has not iho same pull" at Ottawa as tho member for iho constituonOy in which V������r- session of the Borden cabinet. Most assuredly Mr Burrell would be in attendance, and very likely he would have"a good word for Vernon ���������and seeing his word gogsjon matters of govermental affairs of this sort so far as B^O* is . concerned; it is not difficult to imagine how Cranbrook, Kamloops, and other centres not represented by Mr. Burrell were en tirely forgotten. While it is very much to be regretted that Mr. Burrell apparently insists on all the good things, militially speaking���������and in some other respects as well���������must be eventually conserved for the benefit of his constituents, he is not the only sinner in this respect. Some years ago the Sifton government in Alberta decided to experiment with demonstration farms. It was decided to establish six of them, and by coincidence, possibly, each and every one of these farms was placed in a constituency represented by a oabinefc minister; Premier Sifton even having oiftrtit Vermilion. If the all-Kootenay regiment is not quartered at Cranbrook (and we have T. D. Caven's assurance that it will be) The Bevimw will bo almost as much disappointed as tho Herald, but it,is hardly fair to acouse Mr. Green of laying down on the job. B. F. was sitting in at a game where the cards were staoked against him; his bobtail flush was nowhere with the Burrell full house of cabinet ministers. In tho way of "pull" in other direo" tions Mr. Green lias not been found wanting, and as membors go thoso days wo think tho Herald will agroo with us that Kootenay's M.P. has hoon on tho job persistently and pretty successfully. elected and getting away to a good start."

Investigation has shown-this disease to be Apple Tree Anthracnose, commonly known as "Black Canker." '" - Apple Tree Anthracnose, Canker as it is variously, known is~ one of the most serious diseases with which the fruit growers of "Vancouver Island and other heavily humid sections of the Province have to contend. The disease is extremely virulent and owing . to improper methods of control employed in the'past has badly damaged many orchards. In spite of this however, the disease can be easily controlled by proper spraying. (In spraying operations carried on for the Provincial Government in 1913 and 1914, the writer completely eradicated Anthracnose from several badly infested orchards.) Description:���������In general the disease is characterised by the formation -of sunken dark colored cankers: These are most frequently found .on small branches, but may not uncommonly be seen on large branches and on the trunk of the tree. The cankers begin their development sometime during November and soon appear as small reddish-brown spots on the bark. The affected tissues beneath the bark present a dis- eolored-water-soaked appearance. The spots develope very slowly during the winter months, but rapidly during March and April, becoming elliptical in outline, and the surface sinking and drying, which in combination with the normal growth of the surrounding healthy tissues prodnces a crack in the bark, surrounding the canker. The cambium becomes active in the spring; after which activity is confined to changes which take place in the bark within the canker. By midsummer little conical, elevations in the bark may be observed. These finally burst, -.wealing a cream colored mass of fungus tissues. These are fruiting structures, and produce spores in great numbers.. After the spores, are given off the canker does not itself spread and usually heals over quite readily. The fungus causing the disease however, has been isolated from the heart wood beneath the cankers on the branches of the apple two years after the spores have been given A off, but it would not appear that the fungus is of any importance as a heart-rot. The disease attacks the fruit as well as the tree, causing the fruit to rot. This fruit rot sometimes appears in. the orchard, especially if the-fruit is allowed to hang late on the trees, but usually it is developed mstorage. Apple tree Anthracnose also attacks the pear, though the disease is not as seiious or as common on the pear, as on the apple. Canker disease similar to Apple Tree Anthracnose are found on the cherry, plum, prune and quince. Injuries : Branches are weakened by the presence of the cankers and frequently break off. Small trees and Hmbs are girdled and consequently killed. In many cases even fairly large limbs and small trees are girdled hy repeated reperted infections. The loose dead bark of cankers shelter Wooly Aphis and other pests, and the wounds afford ingress to various diseases. Treatment:���������The treatment is preventative and consists in coating the tree with a film of fungic.de at that time of the year when the spores that cause the disease are being given off from old cankers. In badly infected orchards where the disease is on the increase and it is desired to eradicate it ih the shortest possible time regardless of any soiling or other injury that may result to that year's crop, spray about the middle of September, using 4-4-40 Bordeaux. In addition spray with 6-6-40 Bordeaux as soon as the fruit is picked, and two weeks later spray again with 6-6-40 Bordeaux. Where an orchard is badly infected, but where it is desired not to soil the fruit, omit the first spray in the above recommendation, but apply the second and third. . When an orchard is only slightly infected or where a preventative is desired, spray once each fall with 6-6-40 Bordeaux, applying the spray as soon as the fruit is picked. When* Anthracnose ls^at all troublesome this spray should never be omitted. Once the UiseH-je lias been fairly well ule<_U6u out of an orchard tbis one spraying will keep the disease under control. ��������� As Anthracnnse cankers may prove a source of infection for possibly three years, it is advisable that cankers be cut out and the wounds painted over, however this may be practical only in ���������youngorchards*7 - -. - . r '- News of Kootenay _ Natal is to have a co-operative store.

While this does no particular harm to anybody, I think you will agree with me that it is not j-_k agreeable sight to passengers travelling on the C.P.R., and that it is disagreeable in many ways. In many places they have not only selected such a place for the dumping ground, but also for a nuisance ground, and frequently one sees a dead horse just outside of a town or village, and close to a railway fence. There is really no reason why suph a condition should exist, as a suitable site could easily be secured at a more remote point if attention is directed, to the matter. I have frequently heard passengers comment on these disagreeable sights, Thanking you for space. Winnipeg, F. E.

Michigan Central Railroad Mulcted With Heavy Fine For Failing to Collect Charges The close supervision exercised by Commission over the United States railroads is illustrated by the heavy line imposed yesterday by the federal courts on the Michigan Central Railroad cs $2*1,000 for failing to collect ���������demurrage charges from tbe National Fire- proofing Company. In the case of these deniurrage -charges the unfortunate railway is sometimes between the devil and the deep sea; for the shipper, particularly the large shipper, is often slow in paying, whereas the watchful commission, suspecting a concealed rebate, is ever threatening punishment. A fine _.uch as the one just imposed will probably fores' the railroads to insist on prompt collections, and the Canadian Board of Railway Commissione.s may follow suit. Shippers who have been storing their goods on freight cars at the railroad's expense will then no longer be able to escape payment by putting up excuses or playing on the fact that they are good customers of the -ailroad.-���������Edit-rial from the Gazette March 26th"1915.* " " " ' Doing Wonders For Rheumatism To theMeritof Lydia E.Pinfc- hanvs Vegetable Compound during Change of Life.

We might be tempted to suggest that they could be doing better if they would try to understand the nature of the campaign, and the reasons for it before, rushing in to criticize it or condemn it. In a time of national peril, when true conception of citizenship leads men to try to do their best for their country, the least that might be- expected is that those who are doing no_._i-___ beyond following their ordinary vocations, and who are untouched by, or are indifferent to, tbe war conditions, should at least not hamper those who are trying to do something, even though it may not be the best or in accordance with others' views. Perhaps in time, as tin- war and its awful effects come nearer and nearer to us, we shall find all the people striving to contribute something, even if in their effort mistakes may be made. In times of national peril personal preferences should give way to national needs. Those who go to the - front have their duty clearly defined. In the trenches. They can turn back to us, and say, "What are' you at home doing to help us? We have left behind a place t? be vlled, a wor _ to be done. Do your duty there as we are trying io do our duty here." And what is the duty of those^cf us who do not go to the front? Clearly and unmistakably it is that of increasing as much as possible the food so necessary for tbe empire. And ] why? First and foremost- for patriotic ' reasons. The empire has told us that she needs all the food that we can produce. Some people question the advisability or the necessity of this line of appeal. The man that can _ee ho patriotism in production when is himseii most iu need ** What" Canada of patriotic stix-iuiation needs most of all today is patriotic enthusiasm. The man who feels, when he is holding the plow and sowing his seed and reaping his wheat, that he is doing it not merely for himself but also for his brother Canadian who is risking life in the trenches or in tiie bayonet charge will do it with lighter Sieart.A God help Canada if this year . all the grain is grown and all the stock is produced a_.d fed merely for personal gain or the dull force of necessity. Are the farmers of different blood from other people? Sentiment, enthusiasm, loyalty, patriotism���������do these mean IIUIU1115 ������.v������ ���������.--��������� .. X.._xxxxx ' prepared to bank the future of Canada on the true loyalty and patriotism of the farmers*, if they did not have it our future would not be worth much. And that patriotism can be stimulated. Secondly, we base our appeal on gratitude. When over seven million people sacrifice their farms, their factories and their people, for freedom, for liberty, for humanity, for us, there should be no hesitation In our res- sponse. All history, sacred or profane, shows no parallel. We are enjoying comfort and safety because brave lit tie Belgium stood up as a people to withstand the oncoming rush ot Prussian militarism that aimed to crush the liberty and safety of France and the British empire. Consider what might have, happened if Belgium also had consldsn-d as "a scrap of paper" the treaty that Britain guaranteed Aftor relying on the strength of that treaty and prospering because of It for nearly eighty years, it la suddenly torn to fragments. What do .a it mean to.us? A people as numerous ns Canadians will stand by it and sacrifice themselves for it. Have we no gratitude that wo. are not reduced to a German colony or forced to pay an indemnity that would have placed a mortgage on every home and every farm in Canada? We owe it to our children to show our gratitude by pro- .li,-cing more for Belgium, and for France and for our empire. Thirdly, we have our duty to Canada, stiall we continue as a nation? We have borrowed nearly three billion dollars to build our railroads, our ���������-anals and our harbors, to carry on our governmental undertakings, to equip our cities, to construct' our great industrial plantr. This country is "like a farmer who has borrowed five thousand dollars from the bank to improve his property. Suddenly the call comes to meet the obligation. What is to !:e done? We must raise the money, or we are bankrupt. Canada had the resources which must be called oa now to produce more. The most productive resource is the farm, and now the national appeal is for the farms of Canada to increase prcductio.-, so that our exports .shall be increased to meet our obligations in the foreign markets, particularly in England. It is a national problem, not merely a farmers' problem. It can be met if all the operating forces will co-operate. Better transportation facilities are called for, more agricultural credit is needed, mere labor will be of great help. The railroads and steamship companies must not hamper by increasing rates; ihe banks should Uuclci"- stand that in this special call they have a duty to perform; the towns and cities "should help to distribute the surplus labor. Unless all these organizations realize that this is a national question calling tor hearty co-operation we shall not meet fully the empire's call. >- Finally, there is the duty of the individual to himself. Increased production means more for everyone who meets this call, more for himself and his family. And uiis applies to the city and town man���������the man with the backyard and the vacant lot. Unpro- ducing land in town and city will this year show a lack of patriotism. Any town or city in Canada tbat this year has unproductive, land with idle workers will be guilty of a national crime. Three propositions have' been poit up to the farmers of Canada in tli*������ government campaign: 1. Grow staple rops, such as can be stored and transpbrted.JThere will be a special demand for wheat, oats, peas, beans and flax., 2. Increase production per acre; rather than increase acreage- Better cultivation and the best seed will double or treble the yield under favorable weather conditions. 3. Particular attention should be given to live stock. The war put up the price of cereals more than the price of meats���������but there is coming a world shortage of meats. It was in Bight before the war. Out of the great cattle countries in only one have -the cattle kept pace with the people. . The meat consumption by Canadians is double that of tho French and fifty per cent, more than that of the British. With high prices coming it will be well for the people of this country to cut down somewhat their meat allowance and to more fruit and vegetables. It mny be that this war will result in Canadians learning how to grow vegetables and how to cook and eat them. The health of the people will be thereby improved. One of-the noteworthy characteristics of this campaign of Patriotism and Production Is that, while the needs of tho empire are being served, the health and wealth of our people will also bo conserved and Increased.��������� C.'C.

Her imports have exceeded her exports by a y&iy largs a__ev._.t fcr many years, and this adverse trade balance is an accumulating debt which, must sooner or later be paid- The "Made in Canada" movement lias up to the present resulted in little but talk, because none of us "act in line with our preaching. Instead of it being anybody's business, it ought to be everybody's business, and what is everybody's business must be each body's business or it becomes nobody's business. About five million dollars of footwear, cloth, rubber-and leather, is imported by Canada every year. There is competition among Canadian manufacturers, which insures fair treatment to the consumer, and there is no reason why every man, 3_oman and child- in Canada should not be able to get Canada-made shoes. This is one example of many. Canada last year imported eleven million dollars' worth of green vegetables and fruit���������much of this quite vnnecessary���������and^ it is one ot the signs of the extravagance, selfish indulgence and ostentatious display of which the abnormal prosperity Canada., enjoyed for a period was the cause. We have a population of eight millions in Canada.

Alleged by the Germans The Belgian government has issued a protest against the German allegation that documents found in the archives at Brussels showed that Belgium had forfeited her neutrality before the outbreak of tha war. After recounting the conversations which took between the British and Belgiau military officers in 1906 and 1912, which, as previously stated by Sir Edward Grey, the British foreign minister, had "reference only in the situation that would be created if Belgian neutrality had already been violated," the Belgian proiest says: "This Belgian��������� government declares, on its honor .that not only was no convention ever made, ;.ut also that neither of the two governments ever made any advances or propostions Concerning the conclusion of any such convention. Moreover, the minister of Great Britain at Brussels, who alone could contract engagements in her behalf, never intervened in these conversations, and the whole Belgian fninistry are ready to pledge themselves on oath that no conclusio-i arising from these conversations was ever brought before the cabinet or even laid before one single membef of it. "The demands which ' the Ger- mands discovered give evident j ot all this. Their meaning is perfectly clear, provided that no part of them is either garbled or suppressed. In face of the calumnies repeated again and. again our government, faithfully reflecting Belgian uprightness, considers that it is its duty to inflict once more on the spoiler of Belgium the brand of infamy, his only legitimate reward. "It also takes the opportunity of declaring in answer to allegations, whose malevolence is obvious, that: 'First���������Before the declaration of war, no French force, even of tSie smallest size, baa entered Belgium, and no trustworthy evidence can be produced to contradict this affirmation.

Such ������.n addition to the wages now paid in Canada "w-ould mean . omething in the reduction of unemployment and in the maintenance of a fair standard of pay for the working classes. It is of far j n.ore importance to the wage-earners themselves than i. is to our manufacturers that the "Made in Canada" movement should -take practical and permanent form. War in Europe may lead to Canadians learning more about their own country and its holiday resorts. Not a _ _ single dollar that can possibly be' kept i -iuropeai*. ������ar in Canada should be allowed to escape, and the thought I would like to impress is that it should be the business of each and every Canadian to act in line with the "Made in Canada" movement and, in so far as our influence may extend, to see that others act in like manner. If the leaders of the trades and labor unions would turn their attention to the "Made in' Canada" movement and encourage their members to give it strong support, the) desire to purchase home-made goods would take firmer hold of the people of the country and hundreds of thousands or dollars would be kept in Canada and paid in wages.to Canadian workmen which now go to help- the mechanics and laborers of foreign countries. The workingmen of Canada owe it to themselves to extend this movement by a campaign of education and publicity that will make itself felt in every home in the land. The Canadian manufacturer, on his part, should see that the goods he turns out are the best he can possibly make. This is his patriotic duty as well as good business.���������J.

Suffragette Leader Gets Loud Praise as a Popular War Orator "Patriotic fervor draws thunderous cheers in place of old-time jeers," Is the way a London newspaper heads nn article on Mrs. Pankhurst as a popular war, orator. The paper itself is violently antl-suffragottc, but honors the war truce which the suffragettes announced at the beginning ot the war. It was- only a year ago when t. speech by Mrs. Punkhurst was a signal for a riot, if allowed to proceed at all. Now she is described by a reporter in these words: "A graceful, dignified figure tlio suffrage leader makes as sho faces the audience. Over a becoming black dress she wears a black lace-shawl; suspended from a thin gold ehaln Is a lorgnette which she does not jibc. Tho Union .Tack centred across a curtain green forms tho Htage backgroupu." Hor women followers still send up fiorul*ol-eiings to tho stage, says the reporter. In speaking, Mrs. Pankhurst, carefully avoids pusuluu and I*i- voctive, but. she prei.cnt-.*. hot points clearly and tolllngly und with conviction- At Iho finish of her speech, joung suffragette.! sell postcard souvenirs for a patriotic fun������.. noble, grandmother We are told that the.kaiser kept the peace for forty-three years.

Somo of Mr. Hubbard's general observations on the war for which the kaiser is responsible are pithy gems, and, although they will :.ot be palatable to Germans ea;S, seem to hit the mark every time. War,, runs, one of them, as a corrective for industrial jealousy, would be like making love with a bludgeon, managing a kindergarten with a whip, or Introducing faith, hope and charity with the aid of thumbscrews. The one intent of modern commerce is to bestow a benefit. The one intent of war is to intimidate, cripple, maim, and destroy. Commerce stands for help and happiness, war symbols suffering and disease. War destroys your market, limits your territory, lessens your prospect.
