and granted concessions to China which
should never have been made, he acted

highest and greatest Justice to all.
It was some time after the ''boxer''
uprising that Maj. Conger returned to
Des Moines, his lifetime home, on q
short leave of absence. A great mass
meeting was held at the Auditorium to
welcome him. It was attended by
thousands. When Maj. Conger had
departed for China, a few, years be-
fore, the Grand Army post of which
he was an honored member had held q
smoker in his honor. One of the feat
ures of that farewell had been the
singing Of God Be With You TIL We
Meet Again" by one Of the sweet
voiced singers of the city.
Many and many a time during the
darkest days, when death seemed only
q few hours removed, did I remember
those words, God be with you till we
meet again. and utter them over and
over and think of the comrades, and
friends and folks at home,"* declared
Maj. Conger, with the tears streaming
down his face, as he responded to the
addresses In his honor.

officially indicate the section Of country
coveted, the impression remains that
Muscovite eyes gaze longingly on the
coas st at some point between the Maze
and Bergen.
A more sensational part of the article,
If that were possible, is the positive dec
laration that Russia is backed in her
daring scheme Of invasion and spoila-
ton by Germany, who. as stated, Is to be
Civ n free hand to seize Denmark and
turn that kingdom into a vassalage of
the kaiser. The base ingratitude of such
project is disclosed by the faet-if Gen.

Gen. L'Orange, who is a descendant
Of b noble French family. Is considered
to be one of the ablest military critics in
Europe. Until recently he was COM

In 1894 he was made chief of the general
sta6, and in 1897 was given the baton
of fommander-in-chief. He also is q
member Of the Royal Swedish war acad-

publishing Of the article evoked an on

ment.

BY the internal mirrors they produce
q clear picture of the sea bottom, the
