THE KAISER'S FATHER

Whenever any indisposition of the
kaiser is announced the recollection
of the malady of his father is natur-
ally recalled. 1t was in May, 1887,
that the three German physicians,
Gerhardt, Bergman and Tobold de-
clared that the Crown Prince Fred
erick had cancer of the larynx. DR..
Morell Mackenzie, the celebrated
nglish laryngologist, denied the
presence of a cancer, and proposed to
charge himself with the treatment of
the prince. The Crown Princess Vic
toria, daughter of Queen Victoria.
decided that her husband should fol-
low the advice of her countrymen.
The princess and her husband es-
tabiished themselves, for time, at
San Reno. II soon appeared that the
German doctors were right in their
diagnosis. The cancer could no lon
ger be denied. Prince Frederick re-
fused to allow himself to be operated
upon. In the meantime the old En-
peror William died and the prince re-
turned to Berlin, where he became
Frederick III.
On the 9TH of June. year after
the first serious attack Of the dis
ease. Emperor Frederick succumbed.
DR.. Mackenzie then declared that
he had dissimulated as to the cancer
Gus nature Of the disease through
motives of humanity" and wrote a
pamphlet justifying his course. Fred
erick, in 1887. at the time of his
death, was fifty-seven years old. The
kaiser william II. will attain that
age GU the 27th of this month.

TURKEY WANTS PEACE

An American recently returned to
New York from the war zone con-
tributes the following interesting
information in regard to the peace
talk in the capital of one of the bel
ligerent nations:
When l was in Constantinople the
Turkish newspapers published about
a column of peace news every day.
Every rumor of peace, every whisper
of Cancellation, was given the widest
and most serious presentation
Bryan reported peace trip, Ford's
plans, the utterances of the Pope. an
interview with a Cardinal and proc
lamations by German societies out
lining their idea of the conditions
under which peace should be con-
cluded with Germany"
The world has concerned itself but
| little about public opinion in Turkey
since the war began, but there is, no
doubt. some public opinion even in
that country and it is not difficult
to believe that all the Turks who
have an opinion hope for peace.
Turkey went into the war. par
TALLY because Germany promised her
some of the territory the Balkans
had despoiled her of, but chiefly
because Germany made her. When
war was once declared, the Germans
took charge. An army of 100000
Turks went out to fight the French
and English on the Gallipoli PENN
sula. under German officers, and
/, they fought hard.
The menace to Constantinople on
the Gallipoli side has been removed
and in the meantime the German
armies have occupied Macedonia and
all that part of Serbia that Serbia
took from Turkey two years ago.
This would, indeed, be golden time
for Turkey to make peace II Ger
many would permit her and would
give her what has been promised.
1t will avail Turkey little. how
ever, to talk about peace until Ger
many gives the word, and Germany
knows that much hard fighting is
ahead before peace is at all probable.
A dispatch from Constantinople says
that the Turkish army is now being
reorg anized by officers from the
German general staff. The Turks
will be sent where their German
masters need them most.-Louisville

THRIFT ANCIENT PRINCIPLE.

Discussion of the plans for the gen e-al observance of February as Tariff Day is already producing re- salts in the way of centering atten- ton upon thrift and the habit of sav- ing. The movement promises to benefit educationally many of us who may not have the strength of will to forego pleasure today in order to provide for need of tomorrow.
 For instance, attention has been called to the fact that the savings rinciple is as old as man, probably and that Joseph was among the first to appreciate thrift. Joseph, it will be remembered, accumulated the corn of Egypt when it was plentiful for the seven lean years that fol lowed.
 '.The code of Hammurabi. 2220 B C., mentions a place for deposit fol safeykespingl and :. accumulation, says Milton w. Harrison, in tht Journal of the American Bankers as sociation. II is evident that even il t),ose early timss there were places resembling the savings banks and th' tafety deposit vaults of today. Quot nx i French authority. MT. Harrison

Four billion acres of land are owned in the United States. Of this vast number, fully 4OO,0OO,000 acres of arable land are not used, according tc the secretary of agriculture. With people owning so much unused land. and millions ready to till it if they could get at it, there is something radically wrong with the system that develops such conditions. It is with iE the law, of course, but something should be done to encourage increas- ed agriculture. We do not believe so much land is being held for specula ton exclusively, though undoubtedly "a large proportion of it is held merely "for rise." Either the sec retary of agriculture is wrong, o- something else is wrong.
