"Dead, sir! Dead. And likewise- buried!" was ���������week," added keys pfvit in his purse. And now he unlocked it, and ������lld back the door, and let a collection of letters w and circulars, and papers and odd documents fall out, and as he stooped to gather them up he saw Avory's card, and tiie few Hues which the dead .man had hurriedly -pencilled on it. King left '��������� the letters and papers lying where they had fallen and carried the card into his sitting V room-. He looked at the pencilled lines some time before he -read tliem. Wheiv he rcaci them he did not Immediately'"-: comprehend, their significance. But when he remembered what had happened, remembered that Avory had died within a few hours of writing them, he saw that in this bit of card he held something which if not an absolute clue to the solution of the mystery of Avory's death, was at a!ny rate a contribution to one. This is what Avory had hastily scribbled: "Something lias happened at the A. Club tonight which gives me a hold on Barthelemy. He and von Roon arc in B.'s house now. I am going to insist on seeing both. As there's an element of risk, if I ana. not home 7 "Yesterday Mrs. Bryson, King had found his key by that time and without comment he let himself into his chambers and set down on his table a small case in which was carefully packed the old vase which he had been to Italy to 6ecure. He stood for a moment staring about him; -when he was away from home nobody was allowed^ to -enter his rooms; everything was just as he had left it nearly three weeks previouslv. He put his- hands in his pockets, whistled thoughtfully, and walked outside again to Bryson. "What was it?*' he asked abruptly. "Sudden?" Bryson shook his head and jerked his thumb at his wife. N,v "Uncommon sudden, sir/' he answered. "She found him." "Which he was lying in that there bed as if he was a-sleeping the sleep of the innocent," said Mrs. Bryson mournfully. "But I knowed he was dead, and went down to Bryson and says so. 'Rubbish!' says Bryson. But there weren't no deceiving me, Mr. King, having seen as many dead 'uns as live 'uns���������speaking compara- tivelv." "Hadn't been ill, then:" asked King. "Not for a minute, sir," replied by a reasonable hour, you will know that I -went there at two-thirty. R. A." There was no date to this, but King had no doubt that it was written on the morning of Avory's death. He picked up the. newspaper account of the inquest and rapidly ran over the evidence of the attendant at the Amaranth. Yes���������Avory had spent most his time there that midnight iu the lounge which opened off the entrance hall. That meant he was watching for something or somebody. He hud left the club, said the attendant, at two o'clock, when everybody else did. But, afterwards? King reconstructed that afterwards in a fashion of his o\vn. He might be right, he might be wrong: but this is what he believed to have occured: 1. After Avory left the club he saw something which strengthened his suspicions about it and Barthelemy. 2" Finding that Barthelemy and von Roon were together in Barthelcmy's house, he decided to attempt an immediate interview. 3. But first he ran to Jermyn Street and finding him-���������King���������out, he slipped the pencilled card in the letter box. 4. Then he obtained entrance to Manitoba Adapted For Stock Raising Many Varieties of Live Stock Feed Grown in.Manitoba\.'. The Mamtoba'''department of agriculture has-just issued an...interesting booklet on Live Stock Raising from which the following extract dealing With the many varieties of live stock feed grown in that province has been taken. .The naturally rich Manitoba soil yields an .abundant growth of wild forage plants-of many kinds. These possess uncommon natural fattening qualities and Manitoba cattle grazing or. them require much less finishing than is necessary in almost any other part of the continent, Kentucky Blue Grass grows iu profusion and here as in its native state it is worthy of the name Of the king of pasture grasses. A near relative, known as Canadian Blue Grass, is also to bc foxind everywhere. Knot Root Grass, Wild Timothy and the well-known Red Top also grow in profusion, also the slender wheat gra'ss now commonly known in Manitoba as "Western Rye Grass. There is also the Western Wheat Grass, commonly known as Blue-joint, which is of unusual hardiness. For.hay purposes and winter feeding, wild grasses arc abundant in all parts of the province and furnish the whole hay crop "for thousands of Manitoba farmers. Western Rye Grass is probably the best of these and grows to perfection under almost any conditions. The Western Rye Grass, sown alone, has yielded at the rate of 6,800 pounds to the. acre. Under cultivation it grows easily and be readily understood by any practical farmer or stock man. The average yield of oats in Manitoba m the last ten years, taking the poor years with the good and���������good farming with poor farming, has been over thirty-eight bushels to the acre. That is the average; but crops of sixty bushels arc very common, crops of \ seventy-five to eighty bushels are quite frequent, while a crop of one hundred bushels or even more is not considered any great noveltv. What has been said of "" oats is equally true of parley., . Manitoba barley is very light hulled, weighs very heavy, and analysis shows it to contain food values that can hardly bc equalled anywhere else. Storing Vegetables For the Winter Valuable Hints for Keeping Vegetables Fresh During Winter Months _ With the food problem so acute it- is important that every vegetable shotild be stored. This applies not only to ripened vegetables, but to immature cabbage, cauliflower, etc., wliich can be stored and used as green feed for hens .during the winter months when other green stuff-is not available. . * There afe a_ few general principles in storing Svhich have to be remembered, namely: (1) Protection from frost; (2) keeping them cool in order to prevent decay; (3) keeping them relatively moist, in order to prevent excessive evaporation, and wilting; (4) avoid a wet and stagnant atmosphere, as this is likely to engender rot, particularly when the tempera E^i' &*������ ^^"^r^^Unre. is too high; (5) protect - from s. a -minute, sir, -~r ^ ., , , , Bryson. "I sec him the day before��������� cawndemy s nouse^ he was as well as what we are now.] ��������� However long he stopped Went off in his sleep, d'ye see, sir. "Art failure���������that's jwhat the doctor said. And, of course, the coroner and jury they said the same. Natural causes���������that's what thc verdict was. "There was an inquest, then?" said King. "Whicli we've kep' all the __ newspapers with the pieces about it," observed Mrs. Bryson. " 'Bryson,' I says to my husband, 'we'll keep these here 'cause Mr. King'll no doubt like to see them .when he comes home.' "Downstairs they are, all together and tied up with black tape, xfes." "I should like to sec them," said King. He took the newspapers which Bryson promptly brought to him, and sitting down in his strangely silent room (it seemed to him unus- ally silent, for some unaacountable reason) read all that they could tell him. He got no clue, no idea from them; the only fact that seemed at all important to his mind was that Avory spent his last houru at the Amaranth Club. According to thc evidence of the attendant, those hours were innocent enough���������and yet there was some significance in the fact thajt they were spent there. For King remembered Avory's intense interest in what he believed to be the secret of the club and of Barthelemy, and it required little to sug- frest to him that circumstances might lave arisen during his absence which would make it highly convenient to Barthelemy or to somebody unknown, to get Avory out of the way. In spite of the medical evidcncci King had no fixed belief that Avory had died from heart trouble. Hc laid the newspapers aside at last, after marking two ot three passages for further consideration, and began lo attend to the small affairs awaiting his attention. First of all, therr������ were his letters. Being an mint t;.ehi'.d and solitary man :*.������* Avory himself woh, King had few corres- fKindents beyond tlio people who hnd >ool>'<'l, even il" Ihey rot into hit* rooms, loi lie had aho in- vai.f'l ii>; lock, and <*arricd llu* '���������.���������.<������ there, whatever took Jiiace, Avory came away. w������^j|it quietly\to bed and���������died in his sleep, King summed up thc situation in a question. Was Richard Avory murdered? There was no need to* ask the further question���������who murdered him? If he was done to death in some skilful and diabolically^ clever fashion, there was no doubt in King's mind as to the doer of thc deed. But���������was he murdered? King was a member of a small and very exclusive club of men of his own sort���������students, savants. scientists, collectors, thinkers, observers, searchers into strange things. This club was housed in very quiet rooms iu the neighborhood of Hanover Square ���������Its great recommendation # to its members was that if you wished to bc absolutely quiet there you could gratify your wish; if.you desired con-- genial company you could get it. Every member of that club was a Somebody in something, a specialist, a dependable man. And King, thinking of one member, a famous medical man, celebrated as the author of a standard work on toxicology, went round to the club that afternoon at an hour when hc knew the man wculd bc there, and after some finesc, contrived to get hold of him in a corner. "I want to ask vou a plain question," said King. "If you like, I'll tell you afterwards why I ask it. This is thc question: Is it possible to give a man poison which (first) he would not detect at the time, (second) would not take effect for a few hours, and (third) would leave no trace in his body?" The great man considered matters for a moment. Then hc nodded. "Yes," he answered. "It is." (To Be Continued.) ly ..and. cures perfectly. It has another big advantage, being easily got rid of from land required for other purposes. Its 'feeding value has proved a big surprise to many American farmers who came to this country knowing little, if anything, of wild grasses iu.the thickly settled districts from which they came. Among the cultivated grasses which are giving fine satisfaction in Manitoba are timothy, awul ess brome grass and red top, meadow fresque and tall oat grass. The reason for this is simple. To begin with, they have a soil which is unequalled anywhere in richness, they get the early ��������� spring starting rains as soon as the] winter snow has gone, and the frozen moisture coming up when the hot sun comes. But most important is the long hours of clear sunlight, which makes for dapid full growth. Clovers and other leguminous, plants are also proving the exceeding fertility of Manitoba soil, and their adaptability to Manitoba conditions. It has been proved in most parts of the province that the soil is particularly adapted for alfalfa. Experiments at Brandon havc shown an average crop of over five tons to the acre, and farmers from all over the. province testify to thc success they have had with it. Broad red clover and alsike are also much grown by good -farmers, and like every other fodder, yield fine crops. The large crops of oats and barley that can be grown on'rrafanitoba land form one of the great natural advantages of the province for the raising of beef cattle and feed stock of every kind, as well as for dairying. A mixture of oats, barley and alfalfa makes an ideal, fefcd which is very popular, and is fed by many of the most successful farmers in the province. Manitoba oats have a feeding value superior to oats grown Almost anywhere else, mainly because of their exceedingly light hull and plumbncss of kernel. They weigh more to Jjlic measured bushel than oats grown in any of the states. The average weight of Manitoba oats is thirty-eight pounds to thc bushel, und oats weighing forty pounds and over are often to be seen. In the middle western States thc average weight of oats is from thirty to thirty-four pounds. The, difference in feeding value will T heating, for heating is the natural^ re suit of the accumulation of much fresh vegetable matter. It is well to store roots in moist sand. Beets, carrots and -Dars'nips will keep all winter without withering if the temperature is kept low enough to prevent sprouting. Others may be kept in dry, cool places. Cabbage and cauliflower may be pulled entire and stood in wet sand, or the heads, may be removed, wrapped Separately in paper, and placed in a cool cellar, The Revenue From-Poultry Annual Income in Saskatchewan Is About Bight Million Dollars That this province is, admirably suited fory poultry raising, possessing as, it docs many advantages not to be found in other -(parts of vlhe Dominion, is the opinion of Professor R.-.K.' Baker, who is Jn charge of the poultry department o��������� the University of: Saskatchewan. The professor has returned from a convention of poultry men of the western provinces which was *. ecently held in British Columbia, v Much education, was. of course, still required to make the ordinary farmer a practical and profitable rajser of poultry, but some remarkable progress was already - being made. The great necessity was tov show the farmer the necessity of ������e- lection of' his poultry so that the birds he feeds will give him a reasonable return for the feed he gives them, andi next in importance, - was the study of v practical rations to reduce as much as possible the chicken's H.C. of L. Much work in -holh those directions w������fs being dotae by the poultry department of the university. Professor Baker stated that the value of the poultry business in this province amounted to about $7,000,- 000 or $8,000,000 a year and he was sure this could be greatly increased. There is much room for improvement in ;both the production and the marketing of the products* of the poultry business in Saskatchewan. The work -at".���������������������������the!'university had of late sol been as complete as might have been owing to war conditions, but when matters Were readjusted more satisfactorily operations could be undertaken.-���������Saskatoon Star.

Canada's Lumber Industry The report upon the. production of lumber, lath and shingles in Canada for thc year 1916, prepared by the forestry branch of the department of the interior, "will give statistics 'of' production by 2,(509 mills operating in Canada during the calendar year 1916. The number of mills reporting decreased by 630 as compared with 1915. The value of the lumber, lath and shingle output for 1916 was as. follows: Lumber. $58,365,349; Jath, $1,743,940; shingles, $5,962,933; total $66,072,222. ' Canada cut in 1916 3,490,550 feel board measure of lumber, a decrease of 9.2 Tier cent, as compared with 1915.

NERVOKTOJBLE The nerve system is the governing system of the whole body, controlling the heart, lungs, digestion, and brain; so it is not surprising that nervous disturbances should cause acute distress. The first stages of nervous debility arc noted by irritability and restlessness, in which thc victims seem to be oppressed by their nerves. The matter requires immediate attention, for nothing but suitable treatment will prevent ^ a complete breakdown. The victim, however, need not despair for even severe nervous disorders may be cured by improving the condition of thc blood. It is because Dr. Williams' Pink Pills actually make new, rich blood that this medicine has cured extreme nervous disorders after all other treatment had failed. The nerves thrive on the new blood made by these pills; the appetite improves, digestion is better, sleeplessness no longer troubles the former nerve shattered vittim, and life generally takes on a cheerful aspect. Every sufferer from nerve troubles, no matter how slight, should lose no time in giving Dr. Williams*. Pink Pills a fair trial, thus regaining their old- time health and comfort.

In order to prevent this waste an appeal is made to -the mayors, reeves and officers of the respective municipalities to take ��������� immediate steps to conserve such products as cannot be made use of by the producers or disposed of through thc usual channels. To accomplish this object the following suggestions are* made: 1.

NOV. 16 Unionists 32<&as������y Unionist government in letters so bold thau he who runs may read. And.a careful reading of the papers goes to show that the genuine Unionist spirit that permeates'this section is just as strong* ly in ~ evidence in all the other provinces of the Dominion, except Quebec���������and even there it is very much alive and gaining strength daily. individual fortunes does not hang on the outcome of' these meetings, and with the general good feeling that prevails in these limes the venture looks safe. Our citizenb have the time and the inclination to turn out to these affairs, and right now oan stand all the entertainment and education the gatherings will afford. Gentlemen of the Liberal and Unionist associations, what is your pleasure? Opponents of the Unionist cause in Creston Valley were handed a few more knockout drops on Saturday night, when at a well-attended and thoroughly representative citizens meeting the Creston Valley Unionist Association was enthusiastically organized. The officers and executive of the new organization appear elsewhere. A glance over the names of those chosen to direct the destinies of the .association not only convinces that it is an absolutely non-partizan institution, biit also assures that the Unionist campaign at the south end of the West Kootenay riding will be vigorously prosecuted along lines that will meet with the endors&tion of all elements in the constituency. The organization meeting was open to alL 200 invitations were sent out to that number of electors to lend a hand in effecting its formation That the gathering so constituted, in a section where political feeling invariably runs high, should produce an association that so nicely represents the three old political parties in the male members elected, as well as lady members of American, Irish and Scotch Canadian persuasion, is surely the best possible indication that Unionism has taken a firm grip on the intellects of all classes in the community. Upward of 50 of those entitled to vote next month signed the membership roll, and of those at least 80 paid their dues to the treasurer. This fact is notable in two ways. Neither of the old political associations can boast as large a membership after several years of existence, while those signing on with the Unionists did so in the fail knowledge O&kfsmds Fi-r&i A.1- _ X. tJUH,U patronage is taboo at Ottawa now [ and that a pajd-up membership did not entitle them to consideration directly or indirectly for prospective or future government favors���������a little detail old-line associations used for the Teverse purpose when gunning fer new members oftentimes. While some of the Laurier Liberals seem to be still deluding themselves that their cause is right, Saturday night's good work iitid the every wheae-prevalent let's- forget- party - till-we-win - the -war spirit makes it unmistakably plain tliat tho handwriting is on the wall, and the characters inscribed thereon spell out vfctory for the Now that it seems assured that the Unionist candidate in West Kootenay will be opposed by .a Laurier Liberal The Review would like to suggest that those members of the Creston Valley Liberal Association who intend to support the Laurier candidate-confer with the Unionist Association executive and arrange for a series of joint meetings at all the points iin the Valley at which say three speakers from each side be given fifteen or twenty minutes each to set forth and discuss the pros and cons of the Unionist and Laurier platforms. This is the time of year when we all have at least the evenings to ourselves and this fact, combined with the fondness all our citizens have to hear their neighbors clash in friendly debate on the foremost issues of the day will assure crowded houses wherever these meetings are staged. Besides iu this way the electorate would get both sides of the campaign put up to them in readily understandable language and thus be in a much better position to intelligently decide how to mai'k their ballot than if the only statement of case they have is from the rival candidates on different otjeasions. This offer will, we feel sure, appeal forcibly to the Laurierites: At present ���������they are rather up against it for a paper, or medium of any sort, to adequately disseminate the gospel according-^ to their illustrious leader. TJiese joint meetings should serve such a purpose ideally���������rand the : Unionist ent t nave to pay half the ��������� . i���������n licuxx any incidental expenses. After the outlying points have been favored and the speakers have taken their opponents' measure and developed their oratorical talents to some degree, a final meeting might be arranged for Creston, with a. moderate admission fee charge, with everything over expenses going to the Red Cross Society. In Creston Valley where amateur politicians prefer to bet rather than fight (or argue intelligently, all too often), it is quite safe to try out these joint meetings we are assured. The fate of the empire, the success of the Victory Loan, nor the making or losing of any The appearance of the names of two of the Valley's progressive Socialists on the executive of the newly-organized Unionist Association���������and with a labor man already announced as a candidate in the constituency ���������may come as a surprise to some Review readers. We fancy, however, the intelligence will not take the breath away from many of our subscribers; most likely only a few of those who still cling to Laurier and with whom, most likely, the wish was father to the hope that such a tangible tribute to the cause of Union Government' would not eventuate. As the situation develops overseas from day to day and in view of revelations as to Hun conspiracies that are being con*Ma*itly mad? from sources of unquestioned reliability in hitherto neutral nations how any red-blooded Canadian can still stand out and sing my party 'tis of thee i3 beyond our com prehension. And the support of the progressive Socialists to the new Union administration will be whole-hearted, and in the highest degree patriotic. There arecertain well defined and fundamental principles for which these people have stood for many years. They adhere to those principles as firmly today as ever. But they are not the type of citizens to waste the strength and the resources of the nation by internal strife when the enemy is literally pounding at the gates. We believe that they are willing to accept any reasonable terras for a cessation of internal political struggles Until the enemy is forced^to surrender.. After, that date thsy wiU push for the fulfillment of their own legitimate demands with ail the vigor at their disposal. In the meantime they will carry on their, educational work, and will give the Union Goverrimeiit whole hearted support so long as its actions and conduct warrant that, support. This same spirit permeates every class of political thought in Canada, and is rolling up recruits to the Unionist cause by thousands every day. To argue that sueh a cause will not triumph on December 17th were as wasteful of time as trying to demonstrate that the earth is flat, or looking for the lost Charlie Ross, or the manP who hit Bill Patterson. i -...

G. BENNETT Onager Croston Brunch . With a full bouse at the Auditorium Monday night, Capt. Pearson of the Military Y.M.C.A., held the audience almost spellbound for an hour or more While he. described the work of the Canadian boys in the front line in France, and what the Y.M.C.A." is doing in its wonderful work for them. It was the most interesting addresses on the war yetTheard in Creston���������and we have hadtj several of them. How the audience appreciated it is shown by the generous collection taken at the end. Capt. Pearson took his hearers to the Y.M.C.A. huts i within a~ few hundred yards of the German line in Prance and drew word pictures of onr ������������������js fathers, brothers and'friends iri France that riveted the atteniinn-of all. Story after story was told of -incidents in the life, and-through it all Capt. Pearson ���������- hardly mentioned himself at all. He had a story to tell, a gripping live story. He knew how to present it -and did so. It was a story that none of-us had heard before in just that way���������the way that counts. Luck of space prevents an" extended account, but that'the captain had the audience with hiin was certain. Among other things, he told of the using of phonographs when the men caine in after days in the wet trenches, and boW the records were worn down smooth, so much were they appreciated nnd used. Also of the cinema machine-? that .so resembled real movie machines that they were called Fords*, the men as-k- ing to get out the little Fold when they came in for coffee on 1 %\ armth after heart-breaking da> s. One feature that watt not much touched on at Monday i-k������;hi.'.-j gathering was the fact that the Military Y.M.C.A. is equipped for and actually does a large amount of Ked Cross work. By request it cares for all "walking cases" coming out of the trenches, many of those slightly wounded not wi&hing to be reported by.tbe Ked Cross and thus get in the casualty lists, which makes loved ones across the seas ;:nduly anxious. Such cases are attended to by tho Y. until they are removed and sent to military headquarters or hospital if necessary, the Y. gladly undei taking I and looking after such men as a part j of _their duty. The Y. therefore actually deals with a larger number: of soldiers than the Red Cross? its-If, important as the latter undoubtedly is. At the close of Capt. Pearson's address Mr. Hatt, who looks after the business end of these visits, made nn appeal for funds to help on the good work, and up"till noon to-day the cash oontributed at the meeting plus the sums promised, and which will be paid in within ."the next few weeks, runs up to the1-*7 respectable total of 55300, and a *ea������vass������<������"������!f*iT> ���������y.rirt- of tho "wot" goods 'than IJ.O.'s now FOE BAD COLDS AND COUGH rup White Pine anu Tar Contains, xvo .opiates or habit forming drugs.

This was increased in the 1916-1917 crop to 1,831,590,000 pounds, with a per capita consumption of 17.33 pound?. The large increase in consumption during* thc past year undoubtedly has direct relation to the high price of potatoes and wheat.

Creature of the Prussian system, relying on Prussian backing in his determination to ride rough-shod over Balkan independence, Berehtold precipitated the war which otherwise, might have been postponed.

When he reached thc creek hc discovered that hc had dropped the lunch packet somewhere on the road and hastened back to look for it. Presently hc met a husky negro, who was looking happy and picking his teeth. "Did you hnd anything on the road as you came along?" asked thc gentleman. "No: sah," answered thc negro. "I didn't find .nothing. Couldn't a dog have found it and cat it up?" This new drug is an ether compound discovered by a Cincinnati chemist. It is called free- zone, and can now be obtained in tiny bottles as here shown at very little cost from any drug store. Junt ask for free- zone. Apply a drop or two directly upon a tender corn or callus and instantly the soreness disappears. Shortly you will find the corn or callus so loose that you can lift it off, root and all, with the fingers. Not a twinge of pain, soreness or irritation; not even the slightest smarting, either when applying freezone or afterwards. This drug doesn't eat up the corn.or callus, but shrivels them so they loosen and comc right out. It is no humbug*! It works like a charn:. For a few cents you can get rid of every hard corn, soft corn or corn between the toes, as well as painful calluses on bottom of your feet. It never disappoints and never burns, bites or inflames. If your druggist hasn't any freezone yet, tell him to get a little bottle for you from his wholesale house. Wound Up A member of parliament had emptied thc room with an interminable speech.

Barnardi, a soldier, was arrested in 1696 and charged with complicity in a plot to assassinate King William III. Eight persons were executed for their part in thc conspiracy, but there was little evidence against Barnardi and five other suspects. Rather than bring them to trial or admit them to bail, as the law provided, parliament authorized the imprisonment of the men for one. year. At the expiration of that period it was.-extended for another year. At the expiration of that period it was extended for another year, and then for a third, when parliament passed an act authorizing an act providing for the confmment of Barnardi and his companions "during His Majesty's pleasure."

Two circumstances���������aside from the fac^ that no official German', state- men can any longer be regarded as presumptively true���������render this explanation eminently unconvincing. (1) Count Luxburg's matter-of- course manner of using sthe concise phrase "spurlos versenken" strongly suggests that he was referring to a practice already familiar to the authorities whom .he was addressing. (2) There is abundant evidence that it has for some months been a common German practice to attempt to prevent any survivors from ��������� escaping, yfrom .torpedoed.vessels. At the meeting Vbf the "International Conference V of; M'erohant SeamenV in London in August a report (published in The London Times) was made: .shptjv-ing twelve known cases during; the months April-July in which crews leaving" sinking ships in lLEe-'- :.boats.y~^e^y>attacke'd,, usually byV'gun- $rfe viiivf ou iK |of vthesfe vcases V-j-be V ships ���������Svsre't ':Po������p.|SfeutralV^atibiia.iityv;'';pther iiwta-fiee*^6f V the; Sarnie practice -have since been reported. The case of the Belgian Prince is the most illumin- atih-^; example' of������the art' of "spurlos versenken." Firing on small boats is, of course, a loose and frequently ineffective, method, since it-is difficult to be sure .that all of the crew have been.killed by the_ fire. The boats, ;pf *;theVBelgiian vPriiic^! accordiiigly^ were reridered uselessrand the cre*w, deprived of their lifeboats, were placed on the deck of the submarine*; which shortly after submerged. sXJnr luckily for the German designs; -three put of the crew .ofv;fbrtyffour were able to keep afloat until picked up by a passing vessel.

L'ovejoy in New York TriDune. Many have looked, from early in the war, to see it end through the collapse of Austria. The proximate cause of this three years' tragedy was Vienna, but the ultimate cause was Berlin. The ultimatum to Serbia alone could never have ������et the stage for it. Degrees of guilt in such a case do not particularly matter. Nor can the most even-handed justice apportion degrees of suffering. Austria at least has reached the point w'here her suffering is greater than her guilt. Whoever wins, she loses. Thus it is that her desire for peace has grown so keen that she will make almost ?.ny sacrifices to attain it. Probably the terms suggested by the pope represent the minimum of her concessions. Whether they do or not, she cannot now escape the fear that a worse thing is to befall. Thc onward sweep of the Italian troops has brought her to a lively realization of her peril. The reported evacuation of Trieste by the inhabitants reveals the apprehension that this sweep cannot be stayed. If the Italians cauld takc Monte Santo they ought to be able to take Monte Harmada. Aftfer that the deluge. -. Whether or not Trieste falls, whether or not Vienna is threatened, the military failure of Austria is fairly complete. By nothing short of i a miracle could the Austrian troops resume the offensive. The best'they eould hope for would be a lingering defence, a retirement as costly as possible to the enemy. But there arc other things to bc considered. All accounts agree that the internal condition of the empire is terrible. It is doubted if the people could survive another winter of privation. There is something akin to ��������� despair among the loyal adherents of the H ouse of Hapsburg, something akin to revolution among the Slavic subjects of that house. The revolt in f3ohemia has been xhecked,'* not tiuslied. The government cannot trust many of its own soldiers P. to fight against their brothers in blood. ^Resentment at' German' dictation is growing among all. classes. Austria has been staunch tb her allyj but at fearful costV She has been held partly by honor, partly by fear.''But "the. .first motive can weigh little now in view of "the -wholly Selfish policy ENisMY FRONT LINES ARE BATTERED TO PIECES A Recently Captured German Document Tells of the Manner in , Which the AIIiesi Regularly Break Down Defences of Enemy By Heavy Artillery Before the Battle Actually Begins : J^ o The terrific power of the Anglo'; '' French bombardments is forcing ,ihc "��������� Germa'n high" command "to revise its - entire tactics of defence on the west front.

British Relations With U. S. Campaign of Education to Create a Better Understanding Is Advocated _ In the light of this, huge conflagration we can idl of us, on both aides of thc Atlantic, tv-tr ^t their true value the tiumper3* boundary disputes, the irrational and manufactured controversies, that for so long kept Great Biitain and the United States apart. They have now come together undcr_ the stress of an unprecedented crisis, but a crisis that w ill infjillibly recur if the3* again, fall apart. Far beyond anything else, the peace of the world denends on a working union between its great democracies, and especially between the United States and the ' British empire. There will or there will not be a "next time" very largely as these two vast, federations succeed or* fail in shaping their future policies in common. But among the self - governing English - speaking peoples policy follows Opinion. It is not enough that their respective governments should act in common. They must be buttressed by that informed opinion which can only spring from knowledge. The United St.ales and the. Kritish empire must lelirn to know one.#another. .They must be made conscious througli all their diversified millions of that central unity of ideals aud instinctive ways of looking at things., and forms of government and society that bind theni closer than the-peoples of any oilier two politically separated entities on earth. A .simultaneous campaign ou education in tho United States on Great Britain and the British empire, and in Great Britain on the history and daily life and institutions and temper of the American commonwealth, would be a contribution of the first moment, not merely to their present comradeship in arms, but to their destinies hereafter.���������1'roiu the London Times. pagne and Verdun, he revised that view. In a recently captured eneinv army order the German command itself admits how fallacious hopes built on sand and concrete proved. The document begins bv plain- lively recording the fact that the German front -lines ' are regularly battered to pieces by our artillery before the actual battle begins. Power of defensive, it says, depends ou the possibility of hiding the means of (defense. Trenches, shelters, machine guns emplacements, and batteries once photographed, by the Anglo-French airmen are doomed to certain destruction by their artiller*-,. Under such fire it is hopeless to attempt to repair damage. An entirely new principle of defense is needed and the order proceeds to explain. Fdrthe"old system of position-? on which the enemy artillery can register and which ihe enemy can therefore destroy there must be one substituted. A zone of defense organized in depth is recommended towards the rear. This system, with its defences hidden' as much as possible from the enemy observation and troops echeloned in depth in such a manner that their lines, thin in front, become progressively denser towards the rear, ought to enable us to pass from the defensive tot he offensive with troops occupying thicklier held positions in the rear. But how are men echeloned in depth towards^ the rear to be hidden from observation of our airmen and gunners, which admittedly is the all- important thing? The order explains that this is to be done by abandoning the trenches and retiring to 'shell crater nests' held by groups of men with machine guns. This instruction has particular application to the ground such as that upon which Anglo-French armies are fighting. Shell craters redoubts arc to be ar- ranged in depth like a square of thc same color on a chess board and their protective capacity is to be increased by running a system of littlt- chambers. The chambers' are carried on timbers like galleries in a mine into their sides and where possible connecting one shell hole with another by timbered-up passages thc essential point being that seen from above these shal^be nothing to distinguish them from any of the thousands of shell craters surrounding them. V. " ' / ! The earth burrowed out of the organized craters is to be thrown into the neighboring unused craters or if possible spread on the ground between. "Thus," says the order, "wc shall obtain shelters which from without look like ordinary shell craters and: will be safe from .an observation." If the ground Is so wet that it is' impossible to, dig galleries the troops must be content with such shelters as unimproved craters provide. .The front line, or organized crater' should be protected by -wire entanglements. in au irregular pattern, so arranged as to afford no clue to the situation of thc crater line. .,-��������������������������� t The importance of the document lies not only in the new tactics it prescribes but in the. frank recognition of thc effectiveness of thc work of our guns and our alrtncn% but above all. our airmen. If a thing can be registered by.- our airmen'.-"! cameras it will be destroyed, is the axiom from which th6 wholev order starts. The moral for'its i's'easy to draw. Spuds on a Tomato Vine Joseph M.

Thc first and one of the very few times in which thc British parliament voluntarily transferred its authority to thc king was in the . remarkable case of Major John Barnardi, who died in Newgate prison, London, 181 years ago. Barnardi, a soldier, was arrested in 1696 and charged with complicity in a plot to assassinate King William III. Eight persons were executed for their part in thc conspiracy, but there was little evidence against Barnardi and five other suspects.

''There can be no talk of peace and security of democracy with Germany in her present position," Mr. Root said. "If Germany had succeeded, in what she started out to ifloi and had come out with lier power" unbroken, and we had been unable to defend our right and had not held Germany down in the last five mbnths, her heel would have been on our neck. "The effect of our entry into the "war is that wc have surrendered some of the liberty w& have asserted. Our property mpst bfe invested in,war protection. Wc cannot have free democracy and "war, and the result is that if you live in the presence of military autocracy you cannot make democracy.

"So long as there exists a great and powerful, military autocracy which has the purpose to secure domination by military force, so long republics, ������������������; democratics, countries which preserve individual freedom and individual" rights, countries which subordinate government to freedom, must be at- the mercy of autocracy.

Sin Without Trace -*> Up German Method of Covering Murders' at Sea The German government is reported in press despatches as disclaiming responsibility for Count Lux- burg's plan for sinking neutral and other merchant vessels; "leaving no traces," on the ground that the proposal emanated from a single German diplomat and was uot in fact adopted by the higher -authorities. Two circumstances���������aside from _the fact that no official German state- men can any longer be regarded as presumptively true���������render this explanation eminently unconvincing. (1) Count Luxburg's matter-of- course manner of using "the concise phrase "spurlos versenken" strongly suggests that he was referring to a practice already familiar to the authorities whom -he was a.ddressing. (2) There is abundant evidence that it has for some months-been a common German practice to attempt to prevent any smyivorsfromV escaping, .from ��������� torpedoed .vessels. At the meeting' Vbf the International Conference of- Mferohant SeamenP in London in August a report (publish-? ed iiv The London Times) was made ^slip^ring twelve known cases during the "months April-July in which crews leaving sinking ships in lifeboats weijfe .^attacked, usually byv gun- *fi:^yinVfc$ ships '.jwefef &;f|^|neutfal;-Vhatib.haiity;*' pther infeliaticeis^df > theV same practice-'have since been reported. The case of the Belgian Prince is the most illuminating example' of-the^art-- of "spurlos versenkeri'.*7 Firing on small boats is, of .course, a loose and frequently ineffective, method. since: it is difficult to be sure .that all of the crew have been kiiied by the fire. The boats, of ythe^Belgian;;Princ^V iaccprdingly; were rendered uselessrand the crew', deprived of their lifeboats, were placed on the deck of the submarine, which shortly after submergedV iXjsi- luckily for the German designs,'-threie out of the crew -of. forlyrfottr were able to keep afloat until picked up by a passing vessel. "Spurlosigkeit" is after all, a. somewhat difficult"ideal to" jattaiii1 to���������which is the contemporary German equivalent of "Murder will out."���������Prof. A. Q.' L'ovejoy in New York Tribune* Pigeons for Pershing course, the. lpits arc everything he has contended for ofi from their original locality. Carrier 'Pigeons to Aid American Army in France Major-Gcneral Pershing, commanding the United States army in France, has asked for thousands of carrier pigeons . to assist American aeroplane observers in. sending then- reports and.maps of German positions back to headquarters. All French fortresses for many years have had their pigeon lofts. Thc employment of thirds with su'ch remarkable homing .qualities in connection with aeroplanes is new, however. Birds are bred in lofts behind the French lines and'trained to return to these lofts. The aviators taket he birds up, and when far over thc German lines they fasten to the pigeon's legs any map or report which they desire, to return' quickly to French headquarters, and the birds almost invariably ������������������get back with great rapidity. It is said ' that the French have even succeeded inV training pigeons to return to movable lofts, wliich follow thc lines of the advancing troops, although, of thc lofts arc not moved far Will Austria Collapse? } The Military Failure of*" the ~Two- " Parted Kingdom Practi- - cally Complete Many have looked, from early in the war, to see it end through the collapse of Austria. The proximate cause of this three years' tragedy was Vienna, but the ultimate cause was Berlin. The ultimatum to Serbia alone could never have s������et the stage for it. Degrees of guilt in such a case do not particularly matter. -Nor can the most even-handed justice apportion degrees of suffering. Austria at least has reached ihe point where her suffering is greater than her guilt. Whoever wins, she loses. Thus it is that her desire for peace has grown so keen that she will make almost any sacrifices to attain it. Probably the terms suggested by the pope represent the minimum of her concessions. Whether they do or uot, she cannot now escape the fear that a worse thing is to befall. Thc onward sweep of the Italian troops has brought her to a lively realization of her peril. The reported evacuation of Trieste by the inhabitants reveals the apprehension that this sweep cannot be stayed. If the Italians cauld takc Monte Santo they ought to be able to take Monte Harmada. After that the deluge. - Whether or not Trieste falls, whether or not Vicuna is threatened, the military failure of Austria is fairly complete. By nothing short of a miracle could the Austrian troops resume the offensive. The best "they could hope for would be a lingering defence, a retirement as costly as possible to the enemy. But there arc other things to be considered. All accounts agree that the internal condition of the empire is terrible. It is doubted if the people could survive another winter of privation. There is something akin : to - despair iamong the loyal:���������.: adherents of the Mouse of Hapsburg, something akin to revolution among the Slavic subjects of that house. The revolt in ���������Bohemia has been checked,1* not crushed. The government cannot trust many of its own soldiers 'to fight against their brothers in blood.. -Resentment at' German: dictation is growing among all classes. Austria has been staunch to her ally, but at fearful cost. She has been held partlyby honor, partly by fear.-.'-But the .first motive can weigh little now in view of -the* -'.wholly-, selfish policy which Germany has-pursued toward her;- and the second must weigh less than it did before Germany herself began to .show .signs of 'failing power. There is every reason why Austria should make a separate .peace.'aP-.TT'-TTTa'A'. -V.;V,yVv,.- .-Vv-.-.���������<.. ���������, ���������Ever since he came to the throne the emperor, Charles, has been anxious tp end the war. Efe dislikes and -distrustsV the German emperor. He lias ho -ivish to play the _German game at the expense of the Jtiapsburg monarchy.

If Austria was willing, to offer the Trentinb to Italy to. prevent her entrance into the war, she will quite conceivably be willing to make greater concessions to bring peace. The more she delays the harder the task of saving anything will be. Threatened .men live long, and disintegrating nations show a remarkable force of, cohesion. But there is a point at which- the will as well as the power to resist ends. Has Austria reached that point?. Is shc on the verge of utter collapse? Wc may not have to wait many days for the answer to these'questions.��������� Philadelphia.;Public Ledger. km ME FORCED TO ENTIRE TACTICS OF .... i..&.:i*^&,���������i ENEMY FRONT LINES ARE BATTERED TO PIECES ^TMi0.pA&^^^^ Tp:PPAT-PTP^^$iMi:^M A Recently Captured German Document Tells oi the Manner in Which the Allies Regularly Break Down Defences of Enemy, :.^^:r.-:-:.^:^^^^^^\ ' ���������AAArrAAAAsAA'rr&sZpZmi ' PPpPp^rpM&M������0m 'SPP ' "*lr By Heavy Artillery Before the Battle Actually Begins : _n o War Prisoners Brutally Used by Huns The Anglo <��������� :������**���������-; Inhuman Treatment of Russian Prisoners by the Huns Another chapter is added to the story of the, tortures of German pri- _ ^ Son camps by a Russian soldier, whe-j-bombardments in Flandersr in Cham' escaped by tunneling with a knife un der the electrically charged fence along the Antwery-Ro^endaal line.

The unfit, thc wounded and those who have lost members of their body w*ere kept in invalid camps until they died, but never, he says, returned to camps in Germany because the officers' in com maud feared the pyscho- logical effect upon the people of the sight of the maimed men, often little more than animated skeletons. .Stern and implacable methods were /used to compel prisoners to work Ingenious ���������tortures that ended only short'- of deathywere inflicted on some, while others Avere shot ���������::���������. .'- .*-;^.^^vv^^^^?������P* PApTpp^mmm own battalion, once 2,000 stroiig, had reducedit; to 330 at:���������the.Vtime'- hfeyes- cape'd; ��������� pagne and Verdun, he revised that view.
