Mrs. Marie Kern-Mullen, the Birning- ham vocalist who has just returned from abroad, was within a few miles of the firing line during some of the early en- gagenents between the Germans and French. She spent the greater part of the summer as is her custom, with her mother at Pfirt, a Charming little village in upper Asace-Lofraine, and the noise of the firing at Altkirch and at Hirslngen, where there was not battle but rather sort of skirmish, was a matter brought quite close home to her. We did not fear much for our safety" said Mrs. Null len, 'as it was improbable that the sol diers would oyerrun a place so high as Pfirt, though there was an element of danger. It is this uncertainty of the fu- ture, the mystery of what tomorrow may bring forth, that is so maddening in con ditions existing in Europe just now. My mother has laid in a large stock of pro- visions, knowing that supplies may run low and that there is possibility of the family suffering before the winter is over. On the other hand there is a chance of these supplies being confiscated by any soldiers of either side who chance to quar- ter themselves in our home; so that she may not reap the benefit of her own thrift and wisdom. l do not think, however. that she will be troubled in that way"
 Mrs Mullen, as becomes a woman of her birth and natural sympathies, con tends that Germany was blameless in the precipitation of the conflict which has checked the peace of Europe. Servia, she says, would have accepted the terms cf- fered after the assassination of the Aus trian crown prince had it not been for Russia's interference, and both Germany and France were reluctant to begin the war, though they found it inevitable. The Kaiser knew that war was a question of some future time, though he did not expect it before 1916
 Emperor William has the admiration of his people," says Mrs. Mullen, and justly so. The improvements which have taken place in the country and which are plain to me whenever I return to my native land bear witness to the fact that he is, above all, a progressive. There has never been a ruler to whom one could more justly apply the term 'many-sided.' During his relgn he has sponsored dev.l- opment along every line, causing Ger many's growth in commerce, industry. science and art, maintaining at the same time the supremacy of her army. The greatness of the country is due largely to his efforts, I am sure
 1t is difficult to predict the outcome of the present struggle" continued Mrs. Mullen. You cannot follow the news paper accounts with any degree of cer- falnty, and when you least expect it one . side may be gaining in power over the other. The French people are reciving a lamentable dearth of news about the movements of their army. When 1 reached Paris in my flight toward home found they had never heard of the Gar many victory at Metz. You see, the re- ports sent out by France are always highly colored. That is in keeping with the French character and disposition. I anink 1t is great mistake to keen .he

mility that l am fairly intelligent and as up-to date as fairly intelligent
 person can be, and 1 write myself down as a believer in many of tie
 weather signs. Not because they are signs but because they are based upon reason. We hear of woodsmen, trap pers, fishermen being 'weatherwise. Why? Because they are skilled in req soning out the coming weather from the various indications around them
 Most weather signs handed down to Us are deductions made by our forbears from conditions of the atmosphere and were evidences of close observation. The old fishermen along the Atlantic coast are wise in weather signs and as they scan the sky for mares tai.s how could anyone for d minute think they are doing it because of some su- perstition, when their vocation de- bends entirely upon the condition of the weather? The turning of the leaves or the trees-who could. think nature has not some reason for that3 And a little putting of the mind on this sign will show anyone very soon what that reason is. What in the world did these ancestors of ours do when there were no weather bureaus? They made their own, and by these forecasts wrung out or their experiences at times when it was of much more importance to know what .he weather was 10 De Tn the next "A hours than it is now. Of course, some signs we find do not always hold good. But even those cannot be COIL sidered as mere superstition. The thick ness of the walls of the muskrat's houses, the strength of the goose quills, the groundhog emerging on Candlemas day. can these be considered in the same class as charms to keep off the evil eye and the jinx that baseball nlavers fear and carrying a potato Tn the pocket to charm away rheumatism? Each one of natures signs is based on some natural law; the others on sorae fancy, as a rule. JEANNE K. E.''
