BEAUTIFUL LAND OF ALsACE

From "'The Retaking of Alsace," by E. Alexander Powell, in the November Scribner
 There were several reasons why 1 welcomed the opportunity offered me by the French general staff to see the fighting in Alsace. In the first place, veil of secrecy had been thrown over the operations in that region, and the mysterious is always alluring. Sec ondly. most of the fighting that I have seen has been either in flat or only moderately hilly countries, and I was curious to see how warfare is con ducted in a region as mountainous and as heavily forested as the Adirondacks or Oregon. Again, the Alsace sector is at the extreme southern end of that great battle line, close on 500 miles long. which stretches its unlovely length across Europe from the North sea to the Alps, like some monstrous and deadly snake. And lastly. l wanted to see the retaling of that nar- row strip of territory lying between the summit of the Vosges and the Rhine which. for four-and- -40years, has been mourned by France as one of her lost provinces
 This land of Alsace is, in many re- spects, the most beautiful that I have ever seen. Strung along the horizon, like sentinels wrapped in mantles of green, the peaks of the Nosges loom against the sky. On the slopes of the ridges, massed in their black battal- ions. stand forests of spruce and pine Through peaceful valleys silver streams meander lesurely, and in the meadows which border them cattle stand knee deep amid the lush green grass. The villages. their tortuous cobble paved streets lined either side by dim arcades. and the old, old houses, with their turrets ana bal comics and steep pitched pottery roofs, give you the feeling that they are not real, but that they are scenery a stage and this illusion is heightened by the men in their jaunty berets and wooden sabots, and the women whose huge black silk head dresses accen- tuate the freshness of their complex gedness and majesty and grandeur, of quaintness and simplicity and charm. As I motored through it, it was hard to make myself believe that death was abroad in so fair land. and that over there, on the other side of those nearby hills, men were engaged in the business of wholesale slaughter.

The Literal Truth

If everybody would exercise the same care by qualifying against per jury that Missouri farmer is said to have done in a recent court proceed ing, the. sancity of an oath would be more generally preserved.
 The cautious farmer, so the story goes, was prosecuting witness against a man who was charged with trespass- ing and shooting number of pigeons belonging to the farmer.
 In giving his evidence the farmer was exceedingly careful, even nerv- ous, and the lawyer for the defense tried to frighten him.
 "Now," remarked the lawyer stern- ly, remember you are under oath. Are you prepared to swear that this man shot your pigeons? ?"
 q didn't say he shot them; said suspected that he did,"
 "Ah, now we are coming to it. What made you suspect the man?"
 Well, first, l caught him on my land with a gun; second, I heard a gun go off and saw some pigeons fall; third, found four of the pigeons in

THE HoHENzoLLERNs
From the Boston Herald.

From the Boston Herald.
 With quiet ceremonies in the schools of the empire and services in the places of worship. the Kaiser ordered that there should be celebrated the 500th anniversary
 of the house of Hohenzollern. It was a very small rock upon which the mighty fabric was reared. The present Prus- sian dynasty is descended from an old
 German princely house. taking it's name of Zollern. In time the house was di- vided into the Suabian and the Frankish lines, and the latter waxed steadily through the centuries in influence and possessions. It was in 14l5 that the Frankish branch obtained the electorate of Bradenburg from the Emperor Sigis-
 mund, making the date which now the
 Kaiser commemorates. Then, in 17O1, the
 head of the house. the Elector Frederick H. became the first King of Prussia
 During the political troubles of the rev. olutionary year of 1S48 the principalities
 of the Suabian line fell to the crown of Prussia. The war of 1870, copsum-
 mating the strategy of Bismarck, made"
 the Germany of today, and the King of
 Prussia was hailed as German Emperor in the great hall with which much of the
 history of France is associated The present lands proper of Hohenzollern are but tiny area of 40 square miles, but if the nation were not now at war with what zest and pomp the millennium ol family history would have been ccle- brated!

In the Rustness Worrd

Henry Clews. in his Saturday review. says in part:
 As usual. the general public is late in realizing the extent of changed financial conditions; and the question is repeatedly asked, what caused the rise outside the stocks affected by war profits? Every one appreciates that certain class of industrials must profit by war, in spite of the larger losses elsewhere: also that this country stands to lose less and gain more than any other from the tragic struggle abroad. But what are the fac tors that are carrying this rise into other classes of investments? They are chiefly these: An extraordinary harvest and an equally extraordinary redundance of money. Combined these two influences are quite sufficient to account for the recent strength of the stock market, al- though there were others serving to stim- ulate the general buoyancy, such as the successful placing of the Anglo French loan and the apparent cessation of the public hostility to railroads and other large corporations.
 Last year the new wealth produced on American farms was officially placed at about $10,000 OO0,000. This year it will be nearer s11,oOo.o0o0OO than ten. The Ave principal grain crops of the United States amount to not less than 5,S27 O00, 600 bushels, compared with 4.943 900. .O0O bushels d year ago This is an increase of SS4, . 000,000 bushels. a gain of tremendous im- portance considering the good prices and the good market assured for the surplus Europe will need all that we can spare assuring prosperity for the American farmer and good business throughout the western agricutura, districts. This in turn means heavy demands upon trans portation facilities, better railroad earn ings and a larger demand by the rail- roads for equipment and all sorts of ma terials Thus the bounty of nature is already beginning to stimulate trade and industry through all it's channels and the next three months seem destined to wit ness very decided improvement in gen. eraI business

To Wipe Out Debt

North Dakota farmers are under taking an experiment in debt enamel patton which will be watched with keen interest throughout the country. 1t is an educational proposition, the idea being to educate the farmers so that they may escape from the bond age of mortgage debt.
 An association has been formed, the object of which is to spread instruc- tion among the farmers, teaching them how to borrow money, buy raw material at reasonable prices and then sell their product at good figure.
 It is said that 75 per cent of the farmers of North Dakota are farming mortgaged land and less than 1 per cent of the boys of North Dakota ever reach the high school. Obviously this IS an unwholesome combination.
 Debt is bad thing and any move ment that has for its object the eman- cipation from debt is certainly well worthy of attention.
