ATTACKING THE
CHANCELLOR

The significance Of the repeated al
tacks from his cosntrymen upon tic
German Chancellor is that they reject
popular discomfort with the course Oh
the war. The war has not moved ac-
cording to the German program. Inc
consignment discomfort is by no means
confinedsto the Social Democrats; It Is
evidently widespread and we mag
infer from the tone of the Chancellors
defense of himself June 6 that II is
pretty serious. The Philadelphia ne
cord suggests that this discomfort
can't vent itself on the Kaiser WITH
out mourning the charge OF treason.
It would be extremely ungracous t"
vent it upon the military chiefs, VINO
ayc I, ing the bess they can, and nave
.!,re wonderful things. There re-
;r.ains the Chance.lo".
The Chancellor is not responsible
to the Reichstag. Several years ago
If voted want of confidence IN hinl
hit that did not touch his tenure OF
Office. He is only responsible to the
Kaiser, and denunciations of the Chan
cellor ran as near to denuclatlonS O.
the Kaiser as it is safe to go.
The pamphlet of "Junius Alter"
"nr;nted in the strictest confidence and
published as Observation-Disclosures
that may mean in German law-ex-
presses the feelings of the General
Staff The Chancellor is charged with
not letting slip the dogs of war soon
enough. He committed the crime q
trying to avert war. He undertook T.
keep England cut of the war. Co
many ought to have plunged into the
war several days earlier and got q
greater advantage of early occupation
cf foreign territory. AS to all this,
the general Judgment of tn. world IL
AMI will Increasingly be. that the
Chancellor was in duty bound to avert
war if he could. and that duty to his
country demanded that he should
limit the enemies of the Germans t.
two instead of three if it were pos.
sible, and that his apology, or excuse
for entering Belgium does him credit
as indicating that be was not alb
solutely devoid of international mo
rality.
So far as the German, official pub
. lished correspondence goes, the Chan
cellor limited his cffertss$or peace t

LOVE OF THE
MARVELLOUS

People living in the twentieth cen
tury long ago assumed that haunted
houses and witches were among the
things Of the past, but OCCASIONALLY
some one appears and makes posi-
tive statements concerning the mar
velous, which many prefer to be.
licve.
Many years ago Robert Dale Owens
wrote book entitled "Footfalls upon
the Boundary Of the Another World
Owens tells many marvellous Things
and he having been Congressman
and at one time Minister from the
United States to Italy, his opinion
carried some weight in his day.
Bulwer's book, "Thes Man and the
Brain" while fiction, has been read
by many who preferred to regard
the description of his adventures IN
a haunted house in London as fact.
About a third of century ago a
book was published somewhere IN
New iFoundland entitled "Ths Great
Amherst Mystery" This was alles-
cd to have been a true history OF
supernatural occurrences in a certain
house, as well as the experiences of
members of a certain household. The
book abounded in affidavits from those
who figured in the recitals.
Most people have long been iacilr-
ed to smile at ghost stories as ridI-
culous from the fact that no such DC
currences as were described cen.
tury ago arewitnessed now. The an
Gent Greeks believed the Minotarr
inhabited the island of Crete, and
when navigation became common their
mariners were surprised when thcV
found Crete was similar to other
places and no nondescripts were
found in the place.
Tie latest ghost story comes from
Indiana.
The haunted rectory of Elkhart Is
to be RACED This building the pro.
perty of st. Johns Episcopal Church
is in good condition, but has bee?
unused for years. The strange stories
told by many persons who have stay
ed all night in it have frightened ali
occupants away. Now, although they
do not admit it is haunted, the vestry-
men have decided to tear it down.
The last occupant was Rev. w. W.
Daup and wife. Mrs. Daup was
driven almost to nervous prostrat;on
by the stalking of the alleged ghost.
So severely shaken was her nervous
system that the belief that i ghost
really haunted the house became gea-
eral, and no one could occupy it.
Many persons have entered the rec
tory to remain all night within its
bare walls and prove to the populacc
that the ghost theory was foolish.
Some have remained all night AID
Said they heard nothing-others nave
come cut of the house shaken with
fright, declaring they heard strang
noises, that electric lights were turn
ed off and on, and that bed clothes
mysteriously disappeared.
A spiritualistic medium was once
prevailed on to enter the rectory. The
next morning she announced that the
ghost was the spirit Of a young gir
who had committed suicide in thu
house while her father was rector
Many old residents recalled the sui
eide, and the belief in the ghost grew
stronger.
