HUGE LOSS TO GERMANY
Teutonic Colonial Empire in Africa
Will Disappear, Says
Paris.

PARIS. April! Sin regard to the
British conquest of German East At
rica. a semi-offcial statement just
issued reads:
This is Germanys last colony. The
enemy has large sums invested there in
railways and other explorations The
complete conquest of the colony is only
question of time and cannot be long
delayed. Consequently. the colonial
empire created at such cost to Germany
will disappear. and Germany will no
longer have an outlet out of Europe.
1t is easy to see the important bear
ing this fact will have at the conclu-
sion of peace.
Every time, in the course of our his
tory. that we have lost colonies. even
when there had been successes on the
continent, we have had to accept dis
astTous terms of peace. 1t is prob
able similar events will have similar
results in the case of Germany

close to the shore so as not to have to
go way out and around. That was
where Mr.. Quack made mistake. Even
the smartest people will make mis-

Peter Rabbit nodded. Il know" said
he. I've made them myself" And then
he wondered why Jerry Muskrat laugh

Yes continued Mrs. Quack, that is
where MIR. Quack made mistake
great mistake. l suppose that because
not a single gun had been fired at US
that morning he thought perhaps there
were no hunters on the Big River So
to save time he led us close to shore
And then it happened. There was a
bang. bang OF terrible gun, and down
fell Mr.. Quack just as we had seen so
many fall before. 1t was awful. There
was Mr.. Quack flying in front of me
on swift, strong wings. and there never
was swifter, stronger flier or a hand
somer duck than Mr.. Quack. and then
all in the wink of an eye he was tum-
bling helplessly down, down to the water
below, and | was flying on alone, for
the other ducks turned off, and don't
know what became Of them. I couldn't
stop to see what became of Mr.. Quack
because IL had that terrible gun would
have killed me. So l kept on little
way and then turned and went back,
only ] kept out in the middle of the
Big River. ! dropped down on the
water and swan about calling and

and so / don't know what has become
of Mr.. Quack. l am afraid he was kill

killed myself"
Here Mrs. Quack choked UP so that
she couldn't say another word Peters
own eyes were full of tears as he
tried to comfort her. Perhaps" said
he, Mr.. Quack wasn't killed and is hid
ing somewhere along the Big River
don't know why l feel so. but feel
sure that he wasn't killed and that you
will find him yet
That's why I've waited instead of
going on" replied Mrs. Quack, be-
tween sobs. though it wouldn't have
been of any use to go on without my
dear mate. I'm going back to the Big
River now to look for him. The trouble
is don't dare go near the shore, and If
he IL alive he probably is hiding some
where among the rushes along the
banks. / think I'll be going along now,
but I'll be back tonight IL nothing hap
pens to me. You folks who can always
stay at home have a great deal to be
thankful for"

DR.. Starr said. also. that Japan's

Opposed To Preparedness

Americans who have taken the trouble TO acquant
themselves with the military preparations and operations
inaugurated after the Columbus tragedy must be in
frame Of mind to take a little than ordinary in
terest in the question Of preparedness 1t has been
demonstrated that the total force that the United States
is prepared to concentrate huHiedy at any points
trained equipped provisioned, and ready for active
service is verv small. The whole United States is
stripped Of troops of the regular establishment The
question naturally arises, What might happen in case
Of a real emergency on a vast scale? Would It be
safe 10 withdraw ali the trained from the interior?
President Wilson in his recent speaking tour made
small impression Kansas, where live the most com
Portable and weltodO farmers in the world and also
the least contented. The Kansans far from the
and land borders they know little and care less
about the actual requirements of naval and military
defence Of the nation When the president spoke in
Topeka there in the hall 400 delegates represent
ing $4,000 members of the Farmers union. They re-
ceived the address coolly The next day they got to-
gether and adopted the following resolutions:
We the mothers and fathers Of the boys attend
ing the State Agricultural college absolutely
refuse consent that our boys be forced 10 enlist
in any military organization
we opposed TO militarsm and preparedness
and the expenditure Of national and state
facture OF munitions and naval supplies that need
by government.
I'VE commend the stand Of senators and repre-
sentatives who opposing the present plan of pre-
paredness."
Kansas says a writer in the New York Evening Post
"feels perfectly secure, and there nothing in the
presidents visit to either enthusiasm appre
heuson" So it looks if the preparedness program
will have to be carried out without the. aid of the
wheat belt in spite Of the often demonstrated patriotism
and high courage of individuals from that section, in
and peace.
