poet. who is well known throughout Ger
many.

writer. the Kaiser extended his hand
"'What, ~Ganghofer" he exclaimed,
are you, then. everywhere"
when his Majesty heard that the
poet had not eaten any luncheon he
said Good gracious, You must ave
something Immediately lie ordered Il

This Swede is n splendid man. When
you see him again greet him cordially

Just then a Russian aeroplane flew In

the German anti-aircraft guns The
Kaiser calmly observed the shooting and
laconically commented:
""Too short" The succeeding shots
also fell short and the aircraft escaped.
Suddenly the Kaiser turned to the
poet and said in a subdued voice. slowly
and meaningly, emphasizing every syl-
liable:
"'Ganghofer. what do you say TO
Italy, This was on june %. As late
az May S the Kaiser had expressed his
firm belief that even If "A portion OF the
Italian people were misled by the in
stigators of war one could rely upon the
King.
After a pause, Ganghofer replied:
your majesty, what has happened
Is better for Austria and for ourselves.
A clean table is the best piece of furni-
ture In an honest mans house The
Kaiser nodded. Then with a sigh he
Strengthened himself w. He bade the
poet good-by with "A word which must be

II contained "A joyful promise signifying

Secretary of War Garrison is much peaved because Captain Mitchell of the general staff was reported as saving: Tt would take the United States three years to put an army of million trained men into the field and in that time the enemy could take and hold our American seaboards."
 What little advance guard we have in the way of regular army is mighty good, but it is only an advance guard. The often re. peated statement that Americans are fighters when they get at it is true, but knowledge of how to fight, when to fight and how to take care of themselves and the things which make an army an efficient fighting machine. You can't dump a mule driver suddenly into tine presidency ot a college and expect immediate success of the experiment. Preparedness is the big element of success in any venture.
 The National Guard no matter how hard they work on their own time and without pay, are treated with disdain and sneered at, yet these same men-all Americans, will have 10 do the second heav- jest part of the fighting until the other fighters enlist and learn how to load a gun and find out which end of it should be pointed at the enemy.
 It is true we are a nation of great business men, and will turn to the business of war if necessary with the same vigorousness given to business if it becomes neces sary, BUT it is one of the essen- tial business principles to keep up all ends of the game and be prepared for emergencies-that is the main element in success-be ready for all emergencies and opportunities.
 We don't believe in war any more than we do in dead beats and thieves, but it is right to be pre- pared for both.
