The Democratic party has not been
much for war or for preparations for
war. The official Democratic party
to distinguish It from Individual
Democrats-took its stand during
the Civil war for peace at almost any
price, and 1t has perhaps shown
more consistency in holding to that
position since the war than anything
else. President Wilson and his cabi-
net have Just now turned over a new
leaf in this particular. and are work
ing as hard and talking as loudly for
military preparedness as they ever
did for peace.

 The teacher, and two other Berlin landwehr men,-a lawyer and a pub- lisher-were entering that little town in Flanders with other German sold iers by some of hte main streets, when they became the prey of TurcOs in hiding. They dartod iron, marrow sidestreets and houses, and as eye witnesses relate, sprang upon the heavier Germans like so many tigers.
 The three Berlin landwehr men had just rounded one of the corners of the city hall, when they were sep arted from their comrades by a rush of Turcos from the fire station. There was nothing they could do but back into a door opening, and here they

BERLIN, Feb. 19.-Though already known throughout Germany as a most democratic sort of young man, the German crownprince's reputation in that respect has become more general since the outbreak of the war.
 The telegrams he has sent home to various newspapers, asking them to make collections of cigars, rum and many other things for "his" soldiers are scores in number, nor has he omit in a single instance to thank the pub lie and publisher for their efforts.
 Fritz Schmidt, grand master of the Berlin Master Bakers Association, who has just returned from the west ern theatre of war where he went to deliver three carloads of Christmas "stollen," which had been donated by the Berlin bakers, also presented the crownprince with six baskets of Christmas cakes and other products of the bakers oven. He tells how he was received by the crownprince shortly after his arrival at headquart- CTS.
 q was taken to a large room, where I unpacked my basket, putting their contents on a large table covered with a clean tableclOth," said the master baker.
 'T was hardly through with this when the crOwnprince came in. There was nobody with him, and he looked quite healthy and fit. I conveyed to him the greetings of the Berlin master bakers. and thanked him for having accepted our present. I also told him that we had cent three carloads of stolen to the army.
 "The crownprince said he knew of that and was pleased to inform me that the three carloads had arrived on the day before.
 "The crownprince was very pleasant and we came to talk on some of the losses which certain regiments had sustained.
 "T know that remarked the crown prince. Some of them have lost heavily. But that can't be helped. We've got to win"
