So"
Several weeks ago. as many may re-
call, a war broke out in Europe. Inc
Observer was unbiased until ne met
Teutonic cafe proprietor. The pro-
prietor is a fat little man with
kaiserish mustache and an Imperial
beard. He was worried, and the %
server urged him to tell his little
troubles. -,
.sYou should take this thing phil
osophically," continued the observer.
Just see how calm ,r / am! no" eon'-

Subsequent events convinced the ob'
server that the proprietor was a grea'
authority. Every one recalls how tns
German army advanced like steam

pushed back and back until theil
cause seemed hopeless. With that fatu

He hunted up long-suffering friends
and gave them long and dreary &C
counts of the war from the Observer:
standpoint. He told them how he mac
seen, with keen prophetic foresight
how Germany must be the victor.
Many of them contradicted him in hi
