Watch Your Wife.

Keep your eye on your wife.
Not to keep some other man from
stealing her for wives worth having
are not stealable.
But keep her contented, tor that will
help you to keep cheerful.
And to keep her cheerful-for that

To keep her pretty is to help yourself

very necessary thing for married

Keep in mind the girl you led to the

Reading Between the Lines.


While they a over their papers,
saving the necessary scraps, l stood
back from the table. It was character
istic of the men that Winston Churchill
should have taken the most volumi-
nous notes, while Heeringen had not
put down a line. | then gathered up
every scrap of paper left on the table
-blotters, little note pads, foolscap-
used or unused. Everything was to go
into the fire.
I went about this slowly and DELHI
~erately, taking care to glance at every.
thing before / carried it over to the
CRATE. l wanted to make sure that
nothing of value was destroyed. Here
and there came a good chance to read
some of the contents. Piece by piece
from the memoranda the different men
had made, always being careful not to
confuse individual notes, thus learn
ing n by one their train of thought,
the thing began to piece itself together
for me
There we're extensive notes on army
and navy matters. Churchill, for in
stance, had carefully noted the full
strength that Austria and Germany
could muster in case of war. Kiderlen-
Waechter had recorded the full
strength of England and Austria as
given by Churchill and Moritz. So had
Moritz taken down German and Eng
lish statistics. Obviously 1t was a tri-
angular alliance, each noting to what
extent dependence could be placed up
on the other. Then there we're data
on the French and Russian armies and
navies. The significance of that was
apparent. What puzzled me-, however,
were numerous statistics on Holland
and Belgium.
100000 Germans Ready for Action.
Not until Kiderlen-Waechter and
Churchill, squatting down by the fire
place and poking the burning papers
with old-fashioned irons, not until then,
when there began a conversation and
other pairs conversed on certain points
all around the room, did l gain a clear
idea of just what had happened. What
they said, the vital scraps of their con-
versation as they drifted to me while l
moved to and from the table and fire.
place. l shall now present as close to
the words of the men involved as l am
able.

aside, said: I'VE are ready at any

and apparently convincing England or
the greater advantage of a German.
English coalition, and France was
frozen out-at least SO Germany was
led to believe, and with what error
England's support of France and Rus
STA in the war with Germany makes
all too glaring. England, with her ira,
ditional shrewd alertness to make the
most profitable deal, Germany rea-
soned, was not slow to see the ad'
vantage of the German proposition
In a nutshell, it was this:
Germany must have the 1owland
ports. Holland would not be adverse
to coming into the German federation.
Belgium would be adverse, but could
be snuffed out as easily as a candle.
But French public opinion would never
tolerate under any circumstances this
German aggression. France would
fight, even though knowing it to be a
losing fight.
So much for what Germany would
get out of 1t. Austria wants to round
up her empire in the Balkans. Aus
tria was to have outlets In the Mediter-
ranean. England, for standing by Ger
many was to be rewarded with French
Northern Africa and the Dutch East
India possessions. What was to be-
come of Francef Reconstruction, par
titioning, possibly a little kingdom,
probably under the Orleans regime.
l know these things, for l possess
them in black and white. But what I
do not know Is whether England en-
tered this memorable conference In
order to play the spy on Germany and
her Austrian ally in behalf of herself
and France, or whether she really ac-
ceded to the isolation Of France en-
porarily for secret purposes of her
OWL, knowing that Germany would not
be ready to strike for some time to
come. But | strongly suspect that she
dealt doubly with Germany, and that
France knew of her ancient enemy's
proposition to England within a very
few hours after Lord Haldane and
Winston Churchill had heard 1t, and
began forthwith to make herself as
ready as possible against the day when
Germany, her plans all perfected and
falsely relying on England's aloofness,
would try to put them into effect. Do
you recall how Germany, at the very
beginning of the great war, began to
hurl her army corps upon France by
way of neutral Belgium? / cannot help
believing that to the last Germany felt
herself safe in SO doing-secure In the
belief that England would not object

cording to our latest agreement, Aus

men. The financial aspect of this is.
of course, out of my hands"
Haldane mumbled something that
sounded like that is very satisfac-
tory" At any rate. he nodded an af-
firmatiye.
BY this time the positions had
changed somewhat, and Churchill drew
Tirpitz aside. Churchill spoke German
only indifferently, SO they conversed in
French and partly in English. / heard
Tirpitz say:
1--WE could bottle up the Baltic In
twelve hours. Russia would not have
a chance to stir. OF course, in the
event Of any outside situation arising,
we shall look to England to take are
Of such new condition. That seems to
rest clearly with your navy"
Churchill became a little cautious.
There is a certain contingency that
might arise" he said. Suppose, under
stress or circumstances, the UnlLeu
States should take a definite stand
against us in this matter?"
United States Not a Factor.
The reply of the admiral was the
very expressive German word
quatschl He further intimated that the
United States was SO interested in it's
own internal affairs that it would not
be drawn into the question, and that
in any event it's navy would be needed
for its own immediate protection. He
had a disposition, however. to put the
entire situation up to Churchill.

months" I knew he meant that Aus
tria would precipitate the Balkan
question. Kiderlen-Waechte was seri-
GUS.
1T has got to be done"
There were other snatches, all bear
ing on the same subject, and gradually
the situation began to clarity in my
mind. It was not, however. until I had
noted the contents of certain docu-
ments before destroying them that the
tremendous importance of the big
stakes they were all playing for be-
came apparent. What l shall now do
is to reveal the substance of these
documents, coupling them with over
heard conversation, thus interpreting
the full significance of the conference.
Within the last twenty-five years
Germany has SO enormously advanced
In commerce that she urgently needs
some further outlet OF a northern sea-
coast. This al Holland and Bel
GUM. Hamburg and Bremen are the
only two practical harbors that Ger
many possesses for the distribution Of
her enormous export. The congestion
in both places is such that steamers
wait for weeks to load. One-Quarter
of Germany's exports goes through
Antwerp. Germany must have Ant
werp. Practically the whole Of south
orn Norrnanvsa nonn~oroa oonooia11v
along the Rhine and the highway of
the Rhine, pours into a foreign country
at present. Germany must have Ant
werp-in fact, the whole coast, Amster-
dam and Rotterdam included.
The empire wants harbors, moi colo
nies. The colonizing idea is a fallacy.
Germany is, first and last, a manufac-
turing country. 1t never was and
will be, for a long time to come, a
successful colonizer. At present all
that Germany wants is markets, and
facilities for extending her markets.
These markets Germany will always
be able to command because of her in
tense scientific application to all
branches Of manufacture. But these
products need outlets. Germany is
quite willing to let the others COLOMBO
SO long as she has a chance to get her
goods in. So much for the German
situation.
The Stumbling Block.
England, in her vast oversee do
mains and possessions, wants rounding
up. England has not been able in the
