Hugh," remarked Dolii' rather crossly, nt the same llino surveying Lord Ambrose with some approval. "I think it Is just "ii? sweet idpn." Hugh shrugged his shoulders again, and seeing lhat MoX.n't raLhor roving fancy waa taken by the Idea, ho said nothing. Hut he thought to himself that if this contest, so suddenly proposed was to he taken seriously, then Jt certainly would not ho his fault if Lord Ambrose (Ud not win. "Only," observed Delia thoughtfully, "I Bhould like to be sure this precious process you are all talking about is Ken-ilno, that, it will really work. It may be all humbug," "It is not," cried . Hannah, pressing forward excitedly; "I saw him do It!" "Good Lord!" exclaimed Mr. Hetherington, astonished at this sudden outbreak; "saw him do what'.'" "The inventor," Hannah answered quickly; "Aaron Siddle, what cut liis throat when tlie brokers were put in. I was a boy 'then, and I helped him, and I was here when he opeend the furnace door and drew out���������" "What?"0* asked Hugh, stirred, as were the othor listeners also, by the dramatic fervour of the valet's tone. "A diamond," said Hannah, Ills eyes nearly starting from his head with his excitement at'the recollection; "a diamond as big as a baby's head;, I have a model of it. 'There's plenty more where that come from,' says Siddle, and he laughed���������he laughed, by God!" and Hannah choked with the intensity of his feelings and came to a sudden pause, "Come on," said Lord Ambrose, who, though spell bound like Lhe others by the passion with which Hannah re-counted his story, yet now realized that it was not the wisest. thing in the world to tell it to their rivals; "come along, you fool." He Look Hannah by tho arm and they went out together, leaving the other three a little pale and a little breathless. _ "Then it is true," said Delia, "and if W'(r"C-alT^gst_lToid"'Of"This~cir/i*rar"proC(;33- we shall be able to make diamonds��������� manufacture diamonds like beads and marbles,and things?" "Aye,", said Mr. Hetherington, wip- . ing his mouth, "the kingdoms of the world and the glory of them." "If all that comes off," said Hugh, looking at Delia,,"you will want something better tnan a plain business man, not too prosperous, for your husband." "Perhaps I shall," agreed Delia, who to do hor justice, was as free as anyone could :,o from any admiration for mere wealth and rank, "I beg your pardon," said Hugh, who knew this very well and was at once ashamed of what might have seemed like an unworthy taunt. D.'liu smiled at lilm. "Hut 1 think that a sweet idea of Lord Ambrose's," she remarked, "and I think if.you hr.d been really gallant Hugh, you would have taken it up a little more eagerly." "We must get away," Interposed Mr. 1-Iethoringt.on. "Hugh you had better go home and pack up a bag and then iiiec-t as at. Kensington Palace Square. If we take a special to Holyhead I think we might, just catch the Lyric .��������� '; Queenstown." They mado one or two other ar- raiig< jiionts'iiiitl tii on .separated, Hugh to go to his room to pack his bag, and Mr. llelhorliigtoii and Delia, in spile of the lateness of tiie hour, rung up sundry people on the telephone and to order n special at Huston. It did not take Hugh long to pack Ills bag, und, having given his landlady all necessary instructions, he left, the house again,' and was jiiHt entering the cab he had waiting wlien ho caught sight or a tall man watching hlni from tho shadows of a doorway near. "Who Is that?" hu said, turning sharply.

"Fiddles." said Hugh, though not without experiencing gome uneasiness. "Whero you went tonight'," continued the other in the same calm tone, "n man died in despair some years ago���������ho was murdered, but his murderer has aot yet been brought to justice," "lie committed ���������-���������������������������' ' *." said Hugh sharply. "It is the saim ' -," said the negro, "and ll is lit.. ildtKos.' You have heard of a ceriain discovery tonight, a discovery such as the whole history of tlie world can hardly show. That Is not Middles' either, is it? So 1 hnve been sent tonight to warn you lint to meddle witli what, does not concern you." ��������� "Wlio has sent, you?" Hugh asked, and yot with a quick warmth at his heart, for it seemed to him he knew, and lie thought of Kirn. The negro did not answer, but turned to go away. Hugh look him quick-'' ly hy the arm. ' "No, no," ho said; "tell me who went you?" * - "1 have nothing more to say," re-, plied the negro quietly, "except to warn you to be afraid of an old man who lives a long way away. N'ow you can call a policeman if you like, but. 1 think you will* Iind my arrest more embarrassing than 1 shall." Hugh hesitated for a moment. But it was sufficiently plain that the fellow did not fear arrest and undoubtedly to give him in charge would mean delay, which just now was to' be avoided at all costs. Indeed, he might even be a decoy sent to get himself arrested in order to cause delay. This last idea decided Hugh. ���������"Clear out, then," he said. . "I see you have ..a bag with you," said tho negro, taking a step or two away aim then pausing; "well, I will give you one last warning. If you are travelling, don't leave England; if you leave England, don't go to America; if you go to America, don't leave New York; if you leave New York, don't-go to the northwest." "Ha! the northwest, eh?" cried Hugh, "and why not the northwest, please?" "Because that is where the little devils live," said the negro and with this singular remark he bowed to Hugh and walked quickly away. lost on his uncle, i "Well, docs it strike you thai we have been singularly lucky in hitting on the tracks of these people?" "Yes, Indeed," agreed Mr. .Hotherington with satisfaction; "clever lot as thoy seem to be, thoy havo mado bad blunders ilicire." "Are you sure they wore blunders these people made?" askod Hugh, "aro you suro?" "What else?" retorted Mr. Hetherington. "Decoys," said Hugh.

The Race For the "Lyric" The special train for Holyhead was already waiting with steam up when Mr. Hetherington, Hugh ..nd Delia ar- TlvetTTlt���������miston?���������An���������official���������was���������in- readiness to receive thom, and" conducted them to it, and as he did so he remarked, with an evident touch of curiosity, that it was not often two specials for Holyhead were required in ono night. "Oh," said Hugh, to whom this observation was addressed, "have you been asked for another to night? Lord Ambrose Boustead, was it? Has he gone?" " " "Thoy got off about half an hour ago," said the official, "but the gen- tlemnn didn't say he was... a lord, though it was the name you mentioned." "Had he a 'companion?" asked Hugh; "ratner a small man in a black suit?" The official answered in th? affirmative, and then appearing to think he might have been indiscreet, he hurried away on some pretext, while Hugh, turning io Mr. lieilierington, remarked; "Lord Ambrose and Hannah have got the start, of us," "It is simply scandalous," declared Mr, Uf'tlioHiigtoii with great Indignation; "it. Is a funny thing how somo people aro always trying to truh what bolongs to other folk.

Grain Production of the Western Provinces Worth More Thnn Previous Year The aggregate of Canadian borrowings abroad last year was lost* hy almost $100,000,000 than lu 1013. The total government, railway, public utility and municipal issues were $2.">2,- 200,000 as ngnlnst $'*51,40S,(i2!) in 101 tl. This is the estimate mado In the annual llnancial survey of tho (.lobe, wliich indicates that a strained position is being relieved by tho ease with which Canadian borrowers' of aimlity are financing tholr^roquirenients .n the United States. Loans by Canadian corporations would have fallen much further below last year but for tho Interest in Canadian securities manifested by llnancial-centres' In the United States in :.l.e final mouths of the year. Canadian railways in the year borrowed $04,000,000 ln London, and $12,000,000 in the United, States, That the country has come through tlie war period with so few important business casualties and with tne national creuit actually improved, is said ,.o'be..due to,, the long process of Mquidalion which begun in July of 1013 and proceeded without interruption until the war broke out: The greatest achievement of the year is regarded as the Increase in" the productive capacity of the country, and the most immediate problem, the bringing into profitable operation the new railroad mileage. It. is recognized that there can be no great revival in construction for a considerable period, but the transportation industry is expected to receive some Impetus for the movement of the crops next year If the present in.ticatli.iis of a greatly increased output are confirmed. The grain production of the western provinces, though estimated at 347,- 274,401. bushels as compared with 497,120,007 bushels in 1913, was worth $254,045,215 as against $240,022,020 in the previous year. The value of Ontario field crops for 1914 amounts to the vast sum of - $335,000,000. The striking development of mixed farming in Western Canada wliich enabled that part of the Dominion to .feed itself completely in 1914, is' emphasized as one of the outstanding.features of the -venr. , . Tricks of German Spies How Information Is Conveyed to the Enemy In Devious Ways An officer in command of a flying ��������� hospital column with Lho Russian troops gives ihe following account of troubles with spies and other features of the lighting in Poland: "About spies,,1 could tell you volumes after a month in Poland. It is not only .lows, but swarms also of goiiuliit) Germans whose duty it seems j i'o havec,!>con to livo in Poland for I years and make themselves absolutely at homo. Their signalling tricks begun all Imagination. Whon wc discovered their colored smoko slg mils they took to arranging cedes with chimney pots.. Normal meant all right. Gone altogether means ' guns. Lying on tlio side meant cavalry. "Ono day during a change of positions our troops in hundreds passed by a man in a soldier's uniform lying 111 a ditch, where he complained of rheumatism, but refused aid, saying ho wanted a little rest and would then mauago to get along, 8he follow steadily declined' help from the passing troops or would not go on with the Held hospital wlien askod to. "Finally along came a Cossack patrol. There are no cuter fellows than tho Cossacks. When told tho man refused to move along and appeared not to bo wounded but seemed unable to walk,* a Cossack said: "A wounded soldier or, tired man crawls along a bit and rests, crawls and rests. This chap has boon here for hours, for we passed this way bofore.,' .. '.Down came the Cossack's whip and up started the rheumatic incapablo. Under him was a telephone over which he had been telephoning news cf.. ovory thing that passed along tho road for goodness knows how long. "What happened? ' Well the Germans got . no more phone messages from that" scoundrel. "A suspicious appearing Pole was brought.In one day who understood no German and no Russian. He was a Pole at all points, but still thero was something which the examining officers could not bo quite satisfied about. ���������His' superior, turning round' from his work, suddenly said to the officer'in German; 'Of course, the fellow is a German-spy: hang him up.' "The supposed Pole who knew no German fell into the trap and a full confession followed, with the usual result. "Our regular ambulance work Is very difficult. We only go by,,night and dare not show lights, as the German artillery flres at everything they see moving. We take advantage of this. When we can we start a big fire a few yards away and carry it on our way. All day during the lighting we lie somewhere in the trenches wherever we conveniently can." Value of Tunnel The production of minerals, both tn Ontario and** British Columbia, has fallen off during the past year.with Lhe exception ot'.the gold. The British Columbia gold output is valued at $0,102,910, as compared with $6,137,490 in 1914, while the Porcupine camp in Northern Ontario mined gold worth' $5,750,000 as against $'1,294,113 in the previous year. ., The building activities throughout. Canada are shown in a record of building permits to have been materially affected ih the past year. In'lOM the total amount of permits is given as $86,158,58,1, as compared with $101,- 927,710 in 1913.

"Wo were waiting for the outflanking force to reach tlio Germans In the rear, It wiib dump and cold; we hail had no food since lhe nioriiiiig.

We worked with bay and ilio butt otitis of our rllles Often since the European war began there must have Hashed across ihe minds of both statesmen and strategists the thought of how foolish the British government was to forbid .the construction of a. railroad tunnel ue- tween England and France. Had the two empires been connected by the proposed double tube road beneath the * tgllsh channel there would have been a vast saving of time, trouble and expense In the conveyance of British troops to the ileitis of war in Northern '''ranee and Belgium. , Dover being sixty-six miles from London and only tweniy-six from Calais, a troop train could have run from England to France iii considerably less tluin half iho tiiii* of a run from London to Dover. Tho choppy sea passage and the tedious tasks of embarkation and debarkation would havo been avoided, Neither from bo- low nor from above could any attack have been made, submarines and aeroplanes being alike powerless to pierce 300 feet under tho bed of thn sea,'Men, horses, guns and supplies of all kinds would have arrived in hotter condition than was possiblo by the old s**a route, It may be observed thut not ono word of all this is uttered by any of the British military expe:*tH. They preserve a dlsereot silence, It wiib they, or tholr predecessors, tho official advisers of the government, who blocked the wuy of the channel tunnel project, Thoy shrank from tho shadow of iho Napoleonic, bogy of Invasion, Just forty years ago, when the railway tunnel was Ilrst Buggesiod, the llrltlsh foreign office expressed Ua approval, and yot thoro Is no tunnel, because every time tho mat tor was referred to tho military oxperts they reported Battleships for British Navy First Lord of Admiralty Predicts Fifteen Will be Ready This Year The claims of'tho First Lord of the Admiralty, tho Ht, Hon. Winston Churchill, that Britain will have fifteen more Drc-adnoughts ready for action before tho end of this year, Is no idle boast. In fact, according to naval experts, it is an understatement by at least two ships, Sinco the outbreak of the war tho British censor has rigidly ' suppressed the publication of anything concerning the building, launching or commissioning of warships, but without .broach of confidence, lt Is possible to compile a fairly accurate list of 1'higland's reinforcements from Admiralty data nlrondy made public, When war was declared England had In commission twenty-eight dreadnought battleships and battlo* cruisers not counting the Lord Nelson and Agamemnon' . which, although nearly as powerful���������they mount four 12 inch and ten 9 inch and two 10 inch guns apiece���������uro reckoe.ed as pro-dreadnoughts. Building or refitting Britain had thirteen ironclad monsters on August 4, and another four just laid down. These vessels were reinforced by the purchase of two battleships building in Knglaud for Cliilo and Lhe forcible acquisition of two building for Turkey. ,. Work at the shipyards is proceeding so feverishly that the four battleships of the 1914 programme may he completed before the end of the war, but Mr. Churchill does not reckon them in his estimate of ships ready this year. It wil] be seen, then, that he has seventeen vessels, including the Turkish and Chilean acquisitions. Of these ships live, the emperor of India, the Benbow, Queen Elizabeth and Warspite , and the 30,000-ton .30- knot battle cruiser Tiger, were launched over a year ago and have almost, certainly been commissioned since the outbreak of hostilities. Two are known to have put to sea. Of tho others, the Valiant, Bar- ham, Malaya, Royal Sovereign, Royal Oak, Resolution, Ramillios r.nd Be- venge were laid down just over a year ago and some if not all, must have been launched by now. Te.e samo applies to tho Turkish dreadnoughts Birije, Osman and ItesiU- dieh, and to,tlie- Chilean Almiranto I.atorre (now named Canada). Considerable progress had heen made on the Turkish vessels, and it wac only Turkey's lack of money that hindered their completion, Once 'Britain took tliem over this drawback dis- r.ppeared, and during the four months of the war the work of completion has been pushed forward.. The five -t^ueen. Elizabeths pnd five Royal Sovereigns are armed .with eight of the i-ew 15 inch guns, and will be ablo ������������������ to Mire the most tremendous broadside of- any vessels -affoati���������Tha-Ger-mans-liaV-e-a-15-incl)- gun, but according to the Admiralty's latest information thoy will be unable to mount any ships completing next year. Of Germany's eleven dreadnoughts and battle cruisers'in process of completion, at the outbreak of hostilities, five the Koenig, Narkgrad, Grosser Kurfurst, Derfflinger and Lut/.ow, were launched in 1913,- and the first four are almost certainly in commission or Hearing completion now. Of the others, only the Kron Priuz (launched In February, 1914), can be ready within a reasonable time. Moreover all those mentioned are only armed with 12 Inch .guns, unless a last moment change in their construction has been made. Anti-Typhoid Vaccinaif-ffa One of the moro recent discoveries?, of modern medicine is tlio control jf tin* spread of typhoid or enteric fever uy means of a vaccine. How important this preventive measure is may.be Judged by tlio fact in the Boor war, before aati-typhold vaccination was placed on a satisi'ac.-- tory basis, more mon were incapacitated by fover than.by wounds; 'una. oy tho fact that a few yours ago 15,.- 000 vaccinated troops were mobilized by. the' Unflod States govoriuiioni on. Lho Mexican border near it city where** . typhoid was prevalent and one only jf this army was Infected. lOnteric fever ii; caused by the .y- phoid bacillus, a small rod-shaped vegetable organism ������ which . gains entrance to tho body by the mouth, generally in infected milk or water, Tins germ multiplies in tho blood very, rapidly, so rapidly in fact that lho numbers can double every half hour,, and they are poisonous lo the human system. The poison or toxin'which, they contain gives rise to all the symptoms whicli enable physicians to diagnose tho condition' as one due to this- special microbe.* ���������' Tho colls of tho body, so attacked manufacture a substance to offset the. toxin formed by the miscroscopic invaders and if conditions are favorable In a few weeks have produced a sufficient quantity to destroy the offendlng*. bactcria and thus allow the natural. ��������� functions of the body to become normal again. If on tho other hand the. poison lipids tho upper., hand long, enough the patient is overwhelmed by the onslaught, the vital organs are unpaired beyond any chance of recovery;, .ind another prc'voniablo death is registered. "tVltn , anti-typhoid vaccination, science has been able lo greatly minimize Uie chances of infection, This is.*, now the' miracle is brought about, A. virulent or deadly strain of typhoid.. germs are grown in the laboratory from'the blood of a patient. The microbes are killed by heat and are then: shaken up in a weak solution of ordinary salt and distilled water. By moans of special complicated'." methods trained laboratory workers, are able to estimate the number of bacteria in the mixture. One thousand, million microbes in flfteon drops of. tho preparation is the standard usually- adopted and here one has a- vaccine which when injected under the skin, stimulates the tissues of the body to. form tlie same substance that was "produced to combat the attack of the; living germs. Three such injections, or inoculations at intervals, giving: littlo and sometimes no discomfort,, protect the individual for several: years. Typhoid-fever is then no longer a menace. - Tlre~eanatiinn~troops���������training���������for.��������� service overseas are all being vaccinated and they, can with conlidencc*- look forward to a campaign unhampered by typhoid epidemics such as., nave in previous wars been more demoralizing to the army than the bul- icts'of the enemy.

We have our own plans, and thoy are certainly not going to take our splendid, licet Into their mine-infested areas and , under their fortresses. ' Every mile of their coast bristles' with heavy guns, ' Think we,are going to attack tliem ���������=��������� In narrow waters, giving their submarines just the opportunity lliey are so anxiously looking for? We play our "game; not theirs. Their fortresses and shore guns and all the money and ���������swill that have been expended on them are all wasted as far as the British lleet in concerned. We are not out to light fortresses; at all events not stationary ones. We don't mind their floating fortresses���������to wit, their chips. Besides, what do you, put guns in a ship for? Simply so that you can move from place to place. Ships, after all, are only movable fortresses. If they olect to remain in thoir defended harbors, woll, they must; but no matter how long thoy stay thoy will not wear down our vigilance. That lliey will bo boiind to como out sooner or later thero can be no doubt Tliey are not increasing their offlcloncy by remaining In harbor, and it is well known In naval history that io remain lu harbor is fatal to your chances of success. Wo are adding to .our efficiency ovory day. Wo take c-vory opportunity of practice, gunnery, torpodo, etc., and also battle luetics, accustoming ovory ono to his exact duties. Our ships know exactly what our commander In chief's plans are. Constant practice under varying' conditions of weather, light aud position have enabled every captain to know exactly what to do under each condition in which we might* find ourselves. Don't think that Is somothing? The enemy cannot do that, bottled up as, they are. Ddh't you worry. Our Admiralty and tho commander in chief of the home fleet know exactly what they are about, and if you are asked, "What is tho navy doing?" all you have to tell them is that we are simply doing what our navy was built for, "to ride tlio waves and to defend our shores." But when the suitable time arrives we shall do more than that, I feel confident. Our navy is and must bo our ilrst line of defence, and without it we are,.lost. We have lost some ships, bill, then, we expected to. You cannot expect to make an omelet without breaking eggs. But; still, our losses' are considerably'less than we made provision for, and even if our onemies do lurk in their, harbors we have given them something to remember each time they have shown themselves. " When you remember the number of ships we have in the North Sea and the activity of their submarines, and also the way they have strewn mines all over the place, you must, admit that our casualties have been very light. ��������� It is only thoughtless people who suggest that we are doing very little.' Just, suppose that our ileet were withdrawn for a short time, do ��������� you realize what would happen? It is really worth an hour's thought, and after you have thought for an hour you will say, "Thank God'for our navy!" ��������� Rubber Famine In Germany l.iports Entirely Cease���������Supply Ex- Price of=Defeat= The=Eaiser2s=Army man Spy A Gorman officer speaking beforo the war began of tho Secret Service of bis country, wrote to a lady friend about it as follows: ��������� "Tho most valuable secrot ssrvice agents of my country are not the regular ones, employed by the Gorman Secret Service���������who would, of courso, be woll known to tbo British Secrot Sen-ice���������but Uie additional many thousands of unsuspected German.residents in Britain, particularly some naturalized Britons of many years' standing. "Thoso havo , hoodwinked tlieir nolghbors by posing as being very pro-British and anti-German, whilo many of. them have sons serving in tho British army; navy, civil service, or intelllgenco department, "Somo of these men have boon lot off witih a' shortened period of sor- vlco with tho Gorman army on condition that thoy came to Knglaud and studied and survoyed an area of several miles round tholr rosldoncos, bo that thoy could act as local guides to any Invading German force.

"My own brother ^yas fcr some months in the emplo,- of a general at''Alderr-hot. Imagine a /British chauffeur in the employ of a German officer! "This great army of Germans In Great Britain���������and there is a similar service in every important country in' Europe���������is well organized.

Jjo doubt there has been1'some or rousted That there Is an almost desperate demand for rubber in Germany Is now evident from tho continual attempts being made to BecurQ the material. Before tho war got properly under way, thoro wore several English llrms Chat unwittingly allowod their rubber to leak out and ultimately be recelvod in German hands, but now thoy under- stand tho importation tricks ot tlie Germans, and tlio British government has Issued an order prohibiting tho export from England. - An outstanding fact to bo'remem- bored is that nearly all tho plantation rubber avullablo every year���������about 70,000 tons���������Is produced within tho British ompiro and is controlled ��������� by British firms. There la a littlo grown In the Dutch East Indies, and American houses control a fow eastorn plantations. But the great bulk of the plantation rubber is brought to London, and in normal times large quantities are transhipped to Germany, lloucoforth i-o supplies will bo sent out of the country except under a license Prosumably large quantities will continue to be shipped to our Allies. Within tho last three months tho value of rubber sent to Russia���������largely, It Is stated, for army snow boots ���������has been enormous, and Franco will be ablo to take all that she wants. Of about 2,000 tons lying at Antwerp It is understood that only 100 tons -e- nmlned when the German' took possessions of the port. Prohibition of exports means, among other things, that the representatives in London of American nrms will aot .be able to fulfill their contracts, Tho .United States herself requires largo quantities of rubber, but there, is reason to believe tliat rubber has been sent from this country to the United States and has been re-exported there to Germany via Italy or Holland. ' Although merchants in the United States at present will not be able to receive supplies of'plantation rubber through London, there will still be the wild rubber available. Brazil annually exports about 40,000 tons, of which rather more than half comes to this country and rather less than half goes to the Unitod States. The latter country usually takes about a third of the world's supply, so; should she receive the whole of the Brazilian production, there would remain little for export to Europe. . * " ' - Normally, German liners share with British vessels the carriage of the rubber from Para; today there are only British ships to carry it. Any attempts to ship the rubber by different routes must Immediately becomo known. LATEST BOOK OF VON BERNHARDI REVEALS THE PUNS OF GERMANY "BRITAIN AS GERMANY'S VASSAL," IS THE TITLE What War Wl.l| Cost to the De- feated Added to the Increasing expense of war, tlio cost of peace In the pre- eont war will probably be tlio greatest* that a losing nation has ever paid. The defeated power will undoubtedly bo required o pay an enormous price, for past history shows that a winning nation invariably demands huge compensation for its losses. Count Bernstoff, German ambassador to the United States, has stated that the Kaiser, if ho conquers Franco, will oxact an Indemnity of $*2,n00,000,000; all the Fronch colonies, including Morocco, Algeria and Tunis would becomo German proporty and 8,000,000 rides, .1,000 guns'and 40,000 horses , would be confiscated as spoils of war. Gormany is noted for oxccsslvo demands from the nations it defeats hi war. Tho rocont war line of ������2,'- 000,000 on Antwerp is an ouxmple, At tho timo of the Franco-Prussian War Bismarck endeavored to obtain from France tlio huge Indomnlty of ������1*50,000,000 sterling. England mado strong representations to Berlin, and succeeded ln having this amount reduced to J12200,000,000, payable In four years, Franco, however, handed ovw tho last coin of the line two yours and seven months at'tor tho conclusion of the war, but not until then wero German troops moved from the country. On the other hand, it Is tho popular bollof ln Groat Britain that whon Gormany has boon conquored Bho will bo forced to surrender lior entire navy, dostroy hor aminmcnts, disband lior army, pay an enormous Indomnlty to Franco as well as restore Alfloco and -Lorraine, and other Indemnities to' Bolglum and to England an well as largo territorial concessions to Russia.

Ho bus succeeded, no doubt, in endearing hlmsolf to his soldiers and sailor., to somo extent, lt is to .the Kaiser that, the soldiers owo their waterproof fireproof field tent, lie it was who first adopted the smokeless powuer, who introduced turrots on wheels to servo as movable redoubts, who suggested wire fences to impede tho enemy's charge, and who promoted ihe use of war dogs. It Is to his final consent, too, that the soldiers owe the infantry's reduction of obligatory military * service, from throe to two years, The gonoral staff Is only rosponslblo to l*.lm. Until the outbreak of war last August the German army system .was the cheapest iu Europe, A second lieutenant was paid only $20 a month for Instance Tho entire cost of a soldier in tho ranks, pay, clothing and equipment was only $17.30 a month, A private Is paid S) cents a day, and of this ho must pay 2������/& cents for dinner; if ho appears to bo spending t'ho remainder too freely the Inspector, who has a rlgnt to make examinations, may not only reprimand but punish hlni, This is tho Kaiser's doctrine Dut ho haa brought about many military reforms, and' has reduced tho ill- treatment of thn German soldier by his officers. 1,1 o has loved his army I'or reasons of his own; and his army has not yet lost all sense of devotion to lilm.

Written hi 1913, this latest work of Germany's greatest ndvoca'.c of oxpansion by war, is, like its predecessor, remarkable for the author's spirit of prophecy in so far as tho Intentions and acts of his own country aro concerned. Much. which the volume contains might havo been written since lho war began and would be a fairly accurate account of what has actually happened. After a careful perusal of the work lt is impossible to escape the conclusion that General von Bernhardi either know tho military program of his country and hoped by a strong advocacy ofcltin his public writings to push it to speedy consummation, or has been gifted with remarkable powers of divination. The translation of this work of von Bernhardi has been dono by a woll known student of German conditions, Mr. J. Ellis Barker, who is best known for his* work "Modern Gormany," In this latest work, von Bernhardi has traversed much of the same ground covered by his orginal book. Again is found the doctrine that Germany must strike hard and quick to crush France, that war. is a necessary factor in the development of culture and the upbuilding of a nation, that peace breeds decadence, and that treaties were made to be broken and should never be seriously regarded .,s binding. But the author' now goes to limits which were never dreamed of by the readers of his other volume. By war, he says, Germany must acquire supremacy in Eurpoe and the .Mediterranean first, and follow this* with the mastery of the world. ��������� ."Decadent England," described as Germany's chief enemy, must ' be made subservient to Germany either by war or by an "alliance," under which she .must give up her naval supremacy,' quit tl.e Triple Entente, abandon her allies and disarm by distributing- her fleet ' over the world, meanwhile leaving Germany alone in Will Battleships be Superseded by the Submarine inatlot\ of Europe, North Africa and AbIh Minor, In plain language, General von Bernhardi assorts that Brit, ain must becomo Gormany'B vassal either through war or submission. Mr. Barker, in a preface to the woTk calls attention lo tho fact that diplomatically and militarily, Germany has carried out ovory ono of von Born- hordl's recommendations caatainod ln this volume, adding: "Ills latest book Is parhaps th* most'remarkable political indiscretion of modern times." ' Von Bornluirdi. lias given considerable space In his. book to tho Unitod States, Ho thlnkB that this country should light England and that the United Statos is making tt groat mistake tn lis advocacy of peaco and arbitration treaties, although ho excused the policy on tho ground of tre*- mendous population, in accessibility and ln exhaustible resources, which :.* believes responsible for a "fancied" security. With his characteristic aptnosn the author has In his work hit squarely on a problem which has been agitating ��������� the* United States for some time, and which was the subject of the president's" message recently���������the question-, of prepared ness. On this subject von Bernhardi has no illusions. Without any particular reference to the Unitod . States, he says: "The greatest crime that con bo committed against a nation is the neglect of Its armed power, and tho di- minutioh of Its armed foroes. When army and navy are neglected, or lose*- prestige, the national organism sickens." Wizard as ho haa been in foreseeing events in Europe, von Bernhardi reveals one mistake in his now book. Urging war upon tho Entente powers, "although it may lead to war similar to the Seven Years' War," ho predicted that there would bo delay in the sending to tlie Continent of an English expeditionary force. lie based his bolief In the crushing of France and the simplifying of Germany's task to a very large extent on this/ At tho samo time he says unhesitatingly tbat if all the pewes of the entMite- should attack Germany at the same time���������which Is what has happened��������� Germany "may meet defeat and heavy ' and terrible times." Russia Making Big Strides Country of Vast Possibilities Lacks Sufficient Sea Coast for Development of Commerce The progress of Russia has beon tremendous in the last decade, says a writer in the Popular Science Monthly.. Tho years since the Japanese war havo seen the adoption of a constitutional regime, the rapid spread of industrialism, tho greatest agrarian reforms since emancipation, and a remarkably intelligent study and handling of the problems of primary education, agriculture and Intemperance," Along with this lias come a clear appreciation of the richness of her resources, "In the markets of tho world thero exists today a famine, in meat, lumber and breadstuffs," says the Russian economists, and Russia has, or can dovelop, all three t* an In- dolinlto amount, Russia has a geographic basis for a great nation such as is possessed by no othor people unless it he our own. It Is wanting, however, in one im* portant rospoct; lt lacks nn adequate coast line. Russia's soa coast is too small for bo largo a state and she Is bound to demand moro. Indeed, thai is what sho has been doing for centuries, her const ward movement has boon ln progress for at least four hundred yours and wc aro witnesses today of anothor gigantic step In this direction. Tho Gormans block tho way, and ultimately, conibinod with thom, the Swedes and DanoB, That Russia with her population of 170,000,000, increasing at the rate jf nearly throe millions a year mid with resources bo vast and undeveloped that thoy can only bo roughly estimated, will bo kept permanently bottled up Is not likely, Hor linos of least resistance and tho conquest of an outlet by way of Coii:iuuitlnoplo. to tho world's trndo Is ns inevitable as Ir Its geographic reasonableness, Toward tho Persian Gulf thu way In also open and Inviting, Indeed, everywhere In Asia she has tho unique advantage of Internal line:, of development and therefore alno of attack.

"There are people who maintain that tho battleship will be driven from the soa and superseded by the submarine. The : nine prophesy was made when the torpedo-carrying swift vessel was invented, It was said that the torpedo boats would supersede the battleship, but nothing of the sort occurred. The torpedo boat was superseded by the destroyer, whicli ln turn was expected to supersede the battleship.. "That forecast was so far Justified that it bocanio unsafe,to keep battleships at right within reac*. of destroyers but no war occurred In which the theories could be brought to tho only conclusive test, "The experiences of this war havo proved that battleships can only navigate mlne-strown and uubninrino- hauntod waters nt great hazard, Tho first definite expression of professional naval opinion on the subject to bo published Is tho view of tho general board of tho United States navy, "Tlio general board, with the length of experience of tho prosont war, to guido thom, consider that the command of lhe cvon can only oo gained and held by vessols that can tako and keep tho sea tu all weathers and overcome tho stronger-it enemy vossols that may bo, brought against them, The backbone of a navy thai enn command the sen consists of tho strongest Hon going and sea keeping ships of Its day."

And they have as much right to practice that as have the Catholics or Protestants to enjoy and live their respective faiths.
