CASTE FEELING
 TEUToN CURSE

BERLIN via .ondon.--Germany; a disease ridden, disintegrating body, slowly bleeding to death from terrible self f-inficted wounds a country fast declining as a consequence of the hereditary faults and weaknesses of it's own inhabitants; a land that could be saved from certain doom only by the terrible storm of war, which alone had the power to lash it back to it's senses.
 This. in subtance, is the picture drawn by Prof Paul Harms in the Berliner Tageblatt Tn political re- iigious, and social respects. Prof Harms argues, the fatherland was fast deteriorating.
 Three periious ulcers on the body of the German state could be and were cured, he declares, only by war which brought on a wave of patriotism and unity.
 An ever widening cleavage between the Catholics and Protestants; a grad ual loosening of the bonds uniting Germany and Austro Hungary; petty, narrow minded caste spirit and class division that "only too often barred the free development of the able and am- bilious are the three things which, Prof. Harms says. were sap ping the very life and heart blood of the German nation"

M1TROVICA, Hungary The south ern theater of the European war has it's "Yser canal and west Flanders"-a terrain the possession of which meant Austro Hungarian army could make headway against Servia it was neces- sary to make the Macva district, and before this could be invaded the Para snica peninsula, in the Save north of the Drina's mouth, had to be taken.
 The Austro -Hungarians who first Parasnica early in August discovered that the undertaking was too costly. and for over a month contented them selves with what may be called siege of the position. By the end of Septem- Der it became more apparent than ever that the Parasnica and Macva would and operations against the intrench- ments and redoubts on the peninsula were resumed.
 The determination of the Austro- Hungarians to take the Parasnica was no less fixed than the realization of the Serbs that with this position gone the fate of the Macva, Serbia's rischest district, would be sealed. The struggle therefore, continued with unabated bit terness, and finally was carried into the open country beyond the peninsula
 Towards the end of October the Par asnica was finally occupied, after desperate struggle, and from that time on the advance of the Austro- Hungar- ian troops, while slow, made steady

 Tn many places the trenches are if teen wards apart, and in only a few in stances are they separated by more than fifty Yards-eloquent testimony of the severity of the struggle for their possession. So well constructed were the trenches, sheltered ditches, and bomb proofs that field artillery was useless, and so well defended were they by the Serbs that every attempt by the Austro- Hungarians to take them by infantry attacks resulted in terrible slaughter.
 In the end practice common in the wars of the middle ages had to be re- sorted to-countermining. The Serbs had entrenched themselves to a depth of from five to nine feet. had dug tun- nels from one position to another. and the field artillery of the Austrians was useless.

senses. But this we may assert with just pride: When the Russian tyranny menaced the German people at it's own borders the nation stood the fire test
 Tt was as if the ghost of it's several thousand years history rose before it in it's gigantic might-the history which, after all, has been nothing but one great painful struggle for this state.
 "Now. after five months of defensive war, we are less than ever disposed to egotism and self -suffciency. We feel the weight and the importance of the task which the worlds history has heaped upon our shoulders. We will not convince ourselves that it is as pure as angles of innocence that this task found us.
 Unto the highest tops this nation is permeated with the realization that after the war much must be changed There will remain for us, even after peace is made much to do to remove those artificial barriers that heretofore have stood in the way of the selection of the ablest."

A White House Eete.

its dignity, more complete in its way,
than the White House, en- fete. 1t en-
bodies all our best tradition of hospi
tality and cordiality-of perfection
without ostentation. Then there is
something in the atmosphere which
hangs about it-especially during the
days of a closing administration, which
makes one think of that serenity that
seems to cling around the woods OF
Mount Vernon and which appears
there almost like a material reflex
from the calm and tempered ripeness
of its owners soul. There is, mag.
inc, an affinity, certain likeness in
the magnanimity of all generous, wise
and simple men whether of ancient
or modern times. Alas! too hard for
our generation of cyclists to follow or
even respect. The only ideal which is
preached nowadays is zones duty to

Inventors Heart in His Work.

Ramsden, the father of the modern
screw, was an unusual inventive gent
us, and the demand from all parts
of Europe for his incompatible inven
lions was greater than could be sup
piled by the constant labor of 60 work
men. His life was one of extreme
frugality. He ate and slept little
and studied much.
Most of Ramsdens evenings were
spent drawing plans by the kitchen
fire, a cat on one side, a mug of poT-
ter and plate of bread and butter
on the other, while some apprentices
sat around and he whistled or sang
After explaining a design to a work
man he would say: Nov, see, man,
let us try to find fault with 1T" and
intelligent suggestions generally led
to amendments. But if a completed
instrument fell short of his ideal it
was invariably rejected or destroyed
with the exclamation: ''Bobs, man
this WON'T do; we must have it again!'

ONLY ONE COMMON LANGUAGE
Music the Sole Medium That Tells a

The nations of the earth, close as

worlds apart in thought. Each builds
its life in words, and the words are
as little alike as in the days of Babel;
and thus it comes about that we mis-.
understand one another.
We translate one another only into
our own language, and understand
one another as little as before, be-
cause we only know one another in
translations, and the best of the life
of each nation remains and always
