wilhelmina Bischoff. a volunteer
nurse in a hospital for sick and wound
ed soldiers in Germany. entered upon
her service with an admonition from
her father in this wise:
My daughter, l desire that you do
not permit yourself 10 confine your
nursing to any one patient There is
no more prolific field for love affairs
than nursing. A young man, grateful
for the attention he receives. falls in
love with his nurse, the nurse pities
her charge. and pity is akin 10 love.
wish you 10 remain fancy free be-
cause OF this proposed match between
you and your Cousin Adolf in America,
a match desired as much by my broth
er. his father. as by myself. The
American branch of our family has
grown rich. while we have remained
poor II is therefore desirable that you
should marry your cousin, who, as you
know. will come over from America
for the purpose as soon as this war
has ended"
Yes, father" replied Wilhelmina.
you will find me a dutiful daughter
in this respect as in all others. We
German girls know what is due TO our
parents, but I have heard that in
America it is diferent-that in that
country there is but little respect for
age or parental authority, and young
people consult their own wishes in
stead of those 70 whom they owe ODE
dience."

difference between foreign and Ameri-

Herr Bischof. who felt sure that his
daughter would heed his admonition.
But the old mans reasons for eau
ton were stronger even than he had
stated them. a young soldier who
had been wounded in Belgium came
under Wilhelmina's care, fell in love
with her. and the pity she felt for him
as well as the love he offered her
caused a reciprocal feeling TO arise
within her own heart. He asked her
all about herself. her name. the place
in which she lived and told her that
as soon as he was convalescent and
should be granted brief leave he
would go 10 her father and ask for her
hand. To this she replied that she
was 10 marry a cousin who was to
come from America as soon as the
war was over.
What" exclaimed the soldier. mar
~ one who takes no part in the de-
Tense OF the fatherland and refuse one
who has given his blood for it? I am
astOnished that so lovely q girl should
do such a thing"
To this Wilhelmina replied that she
owed the same duty to her parents
-.
whatever her father babe her she
would do. The soldier insisted that he
would go 20 her father and represent
10 him his want OF patriotism and was
sure that he would relent But the

Sidelights on the European War

Teheran, neutrality-suspicious.
of The Associated Press War is re-
sponsible for hard times in Persia. al
/ thought the country is neutral. Bust
ness and financial conditions could be
no worse If Persia were the center OF
hostilities. Trade has been at stand
still since the beginning of the war
/ The exchange rate is so unfavorable
that the silver kran, formerly worth
about ten cents, now brings only
about So to cents. The government
is az its wits end in an effort to find
money TO pay salaries TO government
officials. There is an unprecedented

savings. fearing the uncertain times OF
war.
Trade with foreign countries
stopped at the outbreak of war. Cara
van routes are made dangerous and
risky BY the activity of tribesmen and
bandits. The usual large shipments of
tobacco and opium have accordingly
been stopped. with very serious re
suits 10 the considerable sections of
the community dependent on this trade
for their livelihood.
Financially Persia is dependent upon
Russia and England, the two banks.
one English and the other Russian,
are facing very serious difficulties. The
Russian government originally pro-
hibited exports OF petroleum and all
sorts of food supplies into Persia, fear
ing that these commodities might in
directly reach Turkey. This caused q
sweeping rise in the price of petrol
cum. sugar, and other things. The pro-
hibition was abolished some time later.
and prices went down again, but not
to their previous level.
The Industrial centers where woven
fabrics. rugs, silver and leather ware.
sword blades, earthenware and articles
of luxury are manufacturers, are all in
a state of prostration. The Armenian
deale. and agents have received no
tees from all their clients in Eng
land and America that no further i'm
ports are TO be expected for a long
time.
The alliance between Russia and
England has caused much speculation
and alarm in Persia. With only a
limited acquaintance with the geog
raphy and current history of western
Europe, most Persians jumped 10 the
conclusion that the alliance must have
some foundation in Persian affairs.
They soon found an explanation,
which is still generally accepted. The
two great nations, this explanation
AYERS. decided TO put an end TO their
squabbles over Persia by forming an
alliance and dividing Persia between
them in accordance with the spheres
OF influence" established by the con-
vention OF 1907.
Accordingly. the Per5ian sympathies
naturally went in most cases to Ger
many. The addition OF Turkey to the
list of combatants created a tremend-
Gus impression. more especially upon
the clergy. The German legation at
Teheran fostered this feeling OF friend

SUMMER PRUNING OF BERRIES

Doing This Work In Good Season Con-
+ serves Strength of the Plants.
The summer pruning Of raspberries
and blackberries-thati is, cutting back
the wood of this years growth to keep
Il downslow enough so the fruit can
conveniently reached when ripe
next year-will cause the plants to
send out lateral branches. Do this
pruning at once in order to force early
growth so the branches will mature
early and growth be checked in the
autumn. Winter injury will result
from the late pruning, as it does not
start growth early enough to allow the
wood to. ripen before cold weather
which is likely to kill the plants
Whole fields of caneberries have been
ruined by too late pruning. Pruning
early permits the work to he done easi
ly and conserves the strength of the
plants. &. r..
Raspberries and blackberries allowed
to run wild soon exhaust themselves
to producing cane and will only pro
duce a few berries on the end Of the
cane. A red raspberry cut back bears
