'It win be admitted that this finds
continuation in all that has happe.
neo, and especially in all that mas
nos happened. These are the bru.
sai iacts, aad We do not conceal tnat
'0e deeply regret them.
! They confirm sOhat zoe said IN
oO'oser Of last year, immediatel!
DolOrc !, the outbreak of the tOar, snas
'ne Boers have no allies but them
selves. No one in the aOorld 'olli
interfere in their favor and take up
their quarrel with England.
: .France is our friend as long as
she fears us, and will be our enemy
as soon as we find ourselves in any
situation in which we are in danger,
for she is the ally of our enemy,
whether that enemy be England,
Russia or any other Power.
"We therefore hold fast to the
principle that Germany has only
her own interests to look to, and.
however great her sympathy with the
BOers may be, it would be madness
to interfere in the war. Nothing
would justify this Intervention, and
even if we had a certain amount of
success, cur national and material
Development would be thrown bask
by sey yeral decades"
In commenting on the dispatches
which passed between Kruger and
Steyn and Salisbury a semi-official
correspondent in Hamburg says:
"The publication Of these despat.
ches proves the unshakable resol.
ution of the British government not
to end the war otherwise than BY
annexation of the two republics
The sympathy of the entire civilized
world will do nothing to change thi'
resolution.
"That offers of Intervention vii
do nothing to help matters is proved
in the case of America. There il
not any inclination anywhere visi
BILE to force England to abate he
claims by . threat of forcible meas
sures.
| The tragic fate of the Boer State
| will therefore take its own course
This will be sealed by the suddel
change which has taken place in th
situation in South Africa.n

Eosd Kitchener Always Carried Whoa
 Spy to Cheat Ills Enemies
 There is pretty general impression that the work undertaken by the spy is invariably disgraceful work, and that the professional military secret service agent is more or less degrad- ed creamre-degraded, that is. for the time being, by the very nature of the mission he undertakes Of course, nothing could be further from the truth There are spies and spies. The paid renegade, who for mere pay, un. dertakes to pry into and betray the secrets of his friends, stands upon an entirely different footing from the off, eer who, taking his life in his hands. ventures into the enemy's camp in or der to gratuitously to obtain informa. ton which may turn out to be of inf1n- lte pAlue to his own intelligence de- partment. Lord Kitchener was a spy of this latter sort, and it was his eleY- erness, energy and resourcefulness in this capacity which first attracted to him the notice of his superiors. Alone and unarmed he plunged into the re. voted Soudan in the autumn of 1882 and succeeded in penetrating, disguised hs a peddler of hurra cakes. as far aa Omdurman itself. Here he saw fei- low spy stripped naked, logged till the flesh hung in ribbons from his body, and then crucified face downward iE the blazing sun. Ever afterward, D his wanderings among the wild deser' tribes, Kitchener carried with him 2 tiny phial of cyanide of potassium. AA he tersely put it: 'I did not fear death but such death!"

WHAT'S IN A CORN STALK.

 Powder, Dynamite, Etc

An immense eellulose plant is near" ing completion in Linden, Ina., anu whom if is in operation Indian corn nth for ages considered worthless will be put on the market as proteo- tion for battleships of all natlons' aS smokeless powder, dynamite and other high explosives, as fine art paper, as varnish, kodak films, car-oo4 paeklhs' filler. waterproof cloth, linoleum, lml- tatson silk, patent leather finish, race powder. silicate packing, and nun dred more as novel aud varied 1oFms of which the farmer, who has been throwing stalks away as waste, never dreamed. The outer lining-that part which 1ncloses the pith-will be made into flour as an adulterant, as eattle feed. a chicken fattener anG an egg nroducer. Part of it will be mado up into candy, some of it into colorlng dyes and still other parts or It VIII become a part of far more novel pro- eesses. It will add thousands of dol- lars to the crop receipts of Indiana far- mers. will consume only that which has been waste, and will furnish i1' ployment for skilled workers. The an. nual average corn area of the United States is not far from 90,000,00o acres. Each acre yields on an average about 4.O00 pounds of corn stalks, or total of 160, ,O00, 900 tons. Of this weight SS per cent, or 13e, ,o00, 900 tons, has value as feed, but not over ten per cent of 1t is actually fed. The other fifteen per cent of the total weight or 24,000,0o0 tons, Is the pith of the stalk, which has been a total waste, or even worse This Indiana concern has a process which makes 1t possible for them to pay s3 ton for the stalks, and pro- duce raw material which is worth seventeen cents a pound, or s340 8 ton. It is figured that if every ton Of stalks in the United States could be so handled, it would increase the value Of saeh crop s480.000.000.

An International Complication.


 From Pagny-sur-M -Moselle comes news of an international complication which was happily resolved without the spilling of blood. When the train which was bound for Metz drew into the station whence it should pass into German control, 1t was found that onG of the carriages contained, eonspicu- ously pasted, caricature of the Kaiser, painted with an insulting le- gend The German guard refused to have anything to do with such train. Now you cannot find train, and to immure 1t Tn a fortress is poor satis- faction. But you can cut off it's en- zine. And that the German guard threatened to do if the insult were not wiped out It was wiped out, not by blood, but by hot water applied by a "arriage-c1eaner.

AIDING WOUNDED IN BATTLE.
All Perfectly Simple and Comforting t,

Never have the arrangement for dealing with the wounded been in so thoroughly satisfactory condition as they are today, says the Church Fam fly Newspaper. During an engagement and as the troops advance the wound ed are sought out as quickly as may be possible, their wounds temporarily dressed, fractures temporarily splinted and any other first aid" given that may be necessary. Indeed, in the pres ent campaign each soldier carries with him smajt first aid" equipment in his tunic, so that he may bandage him. self or temporarily arrest bleeding, or give such help to a wounded comrade. After first aid" is rendered the wounded are borne on comfortable lit- ters to the dressing places" which are sheltered spots a short distance be- hind the line of battle-usually in the rear of the artillery. Here they are ex- fmined by the surgeons; hemorrhage is securely arrested; bullets which can be easily and quickly removed are taken away; foreign bodies and splint- CTS of bone or shell, if loose, are re- moved; limbs so secured as to render transport to the field hospital easy and comfortable and anything else done which can be done with ease and ra- pidity. No big operation is done at these spots except in the case of limbs 30 shattered as to require immediate amputation. The surgeons at the "dressing places" do only what is ab. solutely necessary. and then the wounded are made comfortable in spe- cially constructed ambulance wagons and transported to the field hospitsI.

sayed from Tne EneIny

From Rensburg, Tn Cape Colony, comes the news that train loaded with supplies and without any engine somehow got started on a down grade within the British lines and was head ed for the Boer lines. It was seen to be impossible to stop the train, so, rather than have the supplies reach the Boers, the British gunners directed the guns on the cars and destroyed them and their contents.

According to a Billings, Mont, dis patch in the St. Louis Globe-Democrat, John Johnson. known throughout the west as "Liver-Eating Johnson" gov ernment scout and spy, and who is be- lieyed to have killed more Indians than any other man, either living or dead, that ever rode the arid wastes of the west, reached this city recently en route to the soldiers home at Los An geles. He recognized the ossified man found in the Missouri river, near Fort Banton about year ago, as being the petrification of man he knew at Fort Benton. The petritication looks as nat ural as life.
