over, Europe had better resume her con-

According to Balfour, England offers the
glad hand to the United States, but has
marble heart for the Kaiser.
Allison has been hailed in Iowa as the
next President, and some of those Iowa
fellows are pretty good prophets.
Unless the railroad has something up its
sleeve the funding bill will be beaten, for
