is KAISER SEEKING ALLIANCE2
In diplomatic quarters not exactly
friendly to Germany there is dis
position to suspect the German Emper-
or of trying to .ring about an alliance
between Germany and Russia. not only
to block the attempt which Great Brit
ain is believed to be making to isolate
Germany through her understanding
with France, and the latter, perhaps.
through an understanding with Rus
sia, but for the mutual protection Of
the monarchical system.
An afternoon paper quotes a signi-
ficant editorial in the semioiiicial Ber-
lin Post, limiting that France has
grown cold toward Russia, that the
Russo French alliance is on the eve of
dissolution. and that there is an in
.creasing feeling i'm Russia in favor of
concluding an alliance with Germany
even at the cost of great sacrifices"
But the idea of a Russo German al
lance is distinctly rejected at the For
eign Office. where, however, it is adj
mitted that me officials have no spe-
cifc information on the subject Of the
Emperors meeting.

In another quarter it was suggested
that the German Emperor may have
asked Emperor Nicholas to support a
German prince for the throne of Nor
way, King Oscar having announced
that he would not permit a member Of
fha house of PernadOtta to assume the
sceptre and the only other candidate
being Prince Charles OF Denmark. who
/ is married to an English princess.

Long winded Orators

The report of the speech, supplied by
Burke himself, runs to as many as
thirty-two pages. 1t contains over 30,-
coo words. 1t, therefore, could not
have been delivered under less than
five hours. 1t Is curious, by the way,
how long winded all the great British
orators were in Burke's time. The
older Pitt was the first TO indulge in
long speeches in the house of COM
mons. After he had delivered one of
these famous orations he was hailed
by crowds outside the house with en-

cal Chesterfield, who happened TO pass

dynamite on the tracks. The men
started toward the railroad, and Mrs.

followed them. Seeing that they were
discovered, the men beat her unmerci-
fully, threw her across the track and
ran.
Mrs. Lewis was unconscious for
few moments, but recovered as she
heard the train approaching By the
light of the engine she saw the sticks
on the rail, brushed them aside and
escaped with only few seconds to

fed. They found Mrs. Lewis badly
