serted the club?I
"To tell the truth, dear boy. I've
been so blooming busy that, with the
exception of an occasional tramp or
two for my health, I've hardly left
the house"
''Oh. l say, anything new"
tremendously new to me. old chap.
Several weeks ago l very unexpect-
edly ran across it-an old machine
rye owned n good many years and
never paid much attention to. Upon

!y wonderful, you know, that 1t has sim
ply held me in open-mouthed constcr-
nation. can't actually take 1t in, and,
bless me, l can't understand why I've
so long ignored its possibilitlcs-jus
accepted it, you know, this wonderful
inheritance Of my ancestors, as some
thing very natural and quite ordinary
Hope you've struck I moncynal;er,
old mani"
~ believe I have, you know, and
that's one of the remarkable parts
about my discovery. Can you conceive
old chan, of my having never seen its
possibilities? I;s merely n piece of
machinery, mind You, and let me tell
you some of the things it can do With
II turn from me l can make it see or
hear or speak or walk or dance or
write or telephone, Why, 1 can, and
with no effort at all, make it breathe ~
''Oh, i say! What is the blooming
thing, Old chap?"
IT'S my blooming sclf, old top, and
and I'm going to put it to WORK and

Berlin, Dec. 12th.-The following is the
text Of the note from Germany and her Al
lies TO the hostile governments. The most
terrific wal" ever experienced in history has
been raging for the last two years and a
half, over a large part Of the world a catas-
trophe which thousands of years of common
civilization was unable to prevent and which
~ipiures the most precious achievements of
humanity. Our aims are not to shatter nor
annihilate our adversaries. In spite of our
consciousness of our military and economic
st! 3yz s. ,ud our Paline3s TO continue tbs
war (which has been forced upon us) until
the bitter end it necessary, at the same time
prompted by the desire to avoid further
bloodshed and make an end to the atrocities
Of war the four allied powers propose to en-
ter forthwith @nto peace negotiations. The
propositions which they bring forward for
such negotiations which have for their object
Il guarantee Of the existence of the honour
and liberty of evolution for their nations
are according their belief an appropriate
basis for the establishment of "a lasting peace.
The four allied powers have been obliged to
take up arms TO defeni justice ana The Il
berty of national evolution. The glorious
deeds of our armies hive in no way altered
their purpose. We always maintained the
firm belief that our own rights and justified
claims in no way control the rights of
these nations. The spiritual and mat
eriaI progress which was the pride Of
Europe at the beginning of the twentieth
century is threatened with ruin. Germany
and her Allies, Austria Hungary, Bulgaria
aud Turkey gave proof Of their unconquera-
bic strength in this struggle. They gained
gigantic advantages over adversaries superior
ia number and war, material. Our lines stand
un,haken against ever repeated attempts
made hy their armies. The last attack in
the Balkans has been rapidly and VIGOROUSLY
overcome. The most recent events have
demonstrated that further continuance of
the wnr will not result in breaking the resis-
lance of our forces and the whole situation
with regard to our troops, justifes our
expectation of further successes, II in spite
OF this offer of peace and +, cancellation the
struggle should go on, the four Allied
powers are resolved to continue to n victori-
olts end. but they disclaim responsibility for
this before humanity aud history. TIL

safety is beyond question. To these great
events on Hand, the Chancellor continued,
deeds OF equal Importance are added by our
submarines. The spectre of famine which

and France, but not Alsace aud Lorraine.
The restoration Of Belgium, however, is
expected TO ue uccomptnIed ny terms winch
would give Germany control OF Antwerp,
and what the Entente Allies declare would be
a practical military control Of the country,
they expect also that IN restoring the occupied
portions OF France, Germany would seek to
retain economic control of the rlcn IRON
country and slipulate that no r%estric-
tons be placed on free expectation of
the raw materials she needs so much.
As regards to Poland, the Entente
representatives expect that all the territory
conquered from Russia would be included
in the independent kingdom, but that none
of Poland held by Germany before the war
would be so included. Mesopotamia, these
diplomats expect, would be claimed for
Germany and Austria to give them an
unbroken line 10 the Persian Gulf. Such au
Arrangement, they say, would threaten Great
Britain's control Of Egypt and the Indian
Empire. In Serbia all of the country as far
south az Nish would according to this plan, be

Serbia as much territory as she gained in
the Balkan wars. As regards Turkey, the
Allied diplomats here have no idea what the
pence plan might propose, but they are of
the opinion hat Turkeys interests will be
