WORST YET TO COME,
SAYS WAR MINISTER.
The Allgemeine Zeitung of
Dusseldorf, prints an article
signed by Gen. Won Stein, new
Prussian minister of war, who
says:
1.-The amazing triumphs of the
German army at the beginning OF
the war not unnaturally created
false impressions, whereas a
cooler estimate of our resources
and those of our enemies might
have disclosed the truth that the
main struggle was still to come.
Rapid and easy victories
would have brought misfortune to
our people. The ugly excresences
that showed themse1 res after the
successes of 1901 would have
been more hideous now, for since
then our gigantic ecor omic devel-
opment has weighed The scales
still more heavily II favor of ma
terialism, and still there was no
equilibrium betty zen spiritual and
material forces"

WAR CUTS MEAT DIET
AT HAMBURG ZOO!
1.-TWO leopards, two pumas, a
polar bear and four vultures at
the Hamburg zoo have succum bed

Hamburg Nachrichten. These
much priced animals. with most
of the others. had to be placed on
short rations owing to scarcity
and DEAFNESS of horseflesh.
Such valuable animals are not

our tropical colonies are mostly

however, we shall be able to re-

PLAN TO CUT DOWN
COST OF MARRIAGE!
Among the lower middle

POLAND NOT YET WON
OVER, SAYS HARDEN! :.
Macmillan Harden, in the

recent proclamation of the mill

in which that country is made a
kingdom.
1.-THE state has still no king
(the experience of Albania bids
prudence)," he writes. "Its ex-
tent or its boundaries have not
yet been determined. Poland has
not yet been won over.
"a wish has been expressed by
both emperors, which can be full
filled only after a triumphant VIC
tory of German arms; only after a
victory which would permit both
emperors to dictate the terms of
peace. That they should trust
firmly on such a victory will re-

right to express publicly their
trust and wish.

CONDEMN THE LAND

q 1t appears the government navy yard needs
more land at Bremerton. All right.
Local land holders started their price at about
$25O,0O0 This week they have dropped to
\ $l80,000 after well known men had said that the
price was too high, and proved it.
Even now well informed men are in dispute as
to the value of the land Why not condemn the
land in the courts and pay the owners what the
jury gives them?
In that manner the government, as well as the
owners, can get a fair deal
Not only that, but it will probably be safer for
the best interests of Bremerton that there should
be no undue heckling and bargaining with Uncle
Sam, and that he Should be above suspecting
