which will certainly delight the chill
dren was placed on the market several
years ago. The holder consists of
nickel plated base. containing a music
box. The tree is held firmly by three
strong prongs and screws. When

case of the tree. the prongs can be
quickly adjusted to hold it firmly in
place. 1t is very desirable to have the

THE PRICE OF DARDANELLEs GAINS

While it seems likely that the spirit with which the Allies are going after the Dardaneles and constan ,inople must win the end they paying dearly for the gains that they making there The historic strait which connects the wordold waters of the Med lterranean and Narmora is proving veritable Davy Jones locker for British warships While the Agamen- non reported to be the most recent there not a dreadnaught she was serviceable ship only seven years in use. and carried main battery of four l2.uch and ten 92-inch guns. With the exception of the superdreadnaught Queen Elizabeth. the Agamem' non and her sister ship. Lord Nelson, were the two most powerful British ships engaged in the fighting against the Turks.
 But the price that is being paid for gains at the Dardaneles is not all being advanced by the navy It is said that 5oOoo British and French wounded crowd the hospitals of Alexandria and other British controlled Mediterranean cities The number is not minimized by the circumstance that 100000 Turks have been killed or wounded That only indicates that there has been some terrific fighting during the last few weeks on the battleeds that rembled under the tread of the hosts of xerxes and Alexander and Constantine and others when the old World was new.

The very circumstance that the guns and other war equipment that the powers of Europe possessed at the beginning of the early became obsolete suggests the idea that preparedness for war would not necessar fly follow the accumulation of great quantities of can non and stores of ammunition in time of peace Most of the preparing for war comes after the declarations Incidentally American manufacturers are demonstrating their ability prepare for war is about as alert as that Of any closs Of people anywhere They have not only furnished good deal of the preparation to the beIigerents but they have prepared the neurals of Europe for war.
 After all there is good deal in what Mir. Bryan says about preparedness for war Its chief function has been to start something The preparation for finish ing the quarrel comes aferward and the country with the last shecke and the last recruit is likely be the best prepared for that purpose

rHE CHANGE IN GERMAN SENTIMENT

The resignation Of MT. Bryan had the opposite eff feet in Germany from wha, 1t was guessed by many American newspapers that would have Instead of it's indicating to Berlin that there is division of sentiment in the United States it suggested to them the severe earnesness of President Wilson in his stand against ,rifling The circumstance that the parting of Wilson and Bryan was the parting of ties that bound friends and political associates closer to each other than usu. ally exists between great of political party caused the German mind to grasp the full extent Of the determination which possesses the President
 press dispatch from Berlin speaking of the effect of the receipt Of the news of slr Bryans resignation says:
 The resignation of William J. Bryan had
 made apparent the earnestness with which the
 American administration was considering the
 question Of submarine warfare and guarantees
 for the safety Of Americans in this connection
 The feeling which had existed in certain
 quarters that the negotiations could not pass
 beyond the stage of exchanging notes and eN
 pressing views began to fade rapidly when it
 was seen the situation serious enough to
 lead Co the retirement of the head of the Cabi
 net
 The one question heard today on all quar-
 ters naval military diplomatic and ciyil-was
 what will the United States do and what is the
 significance of Mir Bryan's retirement2
 The tone has changed. When it was realized that the President had determined that the submarine war fare was not lawful. and that American ct1eha anu shipping shall not suffer on account of the unlawful acts of that warfare that his determination was so fixed that he permitted his personel friend close poll tcai associate and principal adviser to leave his offc ia family rather than to bend. German public opinion began to have new visions Then came the activity of Herr Albert Ballin and others including Ambassador Bernstroff in seeking prevent break between the two countries The effect has been little short of mar vicious Public opinion in Germany is now said to de mand that peaceful and friendly relations with the Unit ed States must be maintained.
 It would not be fair to the German people or gov ernmen to say that this change is due to cOwardiee because there has been nothing in German diplomacy or National conduct since the formation of the Empire to indicate that there is such thing as German COW ardice or fear would be nearer the truth to say that the earnestness of President Wilson has caused the German statesmen to become less cocsure Of theI position and to realize the words of the Loka Anzeiger that considerations of humanity may natur ally be taken into consideration as well as an earnest vin not to make worse our political relations

It was hardly necessary for Mir. Lane to say that the suit which has been instituted to determine the proper distribution of the money representing the par chase price Of the Alaska Northern would not effect the sale and transfer of that property If 1t should have that result there would be no purchaseprce money to quarrel over The suit simply asks the court to appoint
