Your Own Fla Tree.

1t may interest you. says the New
York Sun. to know that figs can be
grown in pots or in the open ground in
regions where there are three months
of warm weather The fig is less like
the apple and the peach. which ripen
all their fruit at once. than like the
raspberry and the blackberry. which
ripen their fruits continuously through
the bearing season. Figs continue to
npen fruit until checked by cold
weather.
For pot culture the fig requires about
the same treatment as rubber plant.
and If it gets plenty Of water the fruit
will ripen. Vigorous plants will have
fruit in all stages of growth. from the
smallest green fruit to the ripe figs
ready to be picked and eaten.

The German foreign office, review ing events at the close of the second year of the war, has issued a state ment which deals not only with tho war conditions, but also from a politi- cal standpoint The statement says in part:
 "The world war, which was caused by Russias aggressive policy, was supported by Frances policy of re- venge. But the war was rendered possibly solely by the fact that Eng land subordinated to her economic an tagonism to Germany, ali of her other interests.
 "Germany's enemies regard it quite in order that they demand territorial aggrandizement at cost to others, like the Russians, who want Constanti- nople and Galicia; like the French, who desire the Alsace and the LOT TdlHc uiStIiCtS anu Ibe lclt Ddilh Oi the Rhein; like the Italians, who seek Austrian territory which they grudge
 All three nations are unwilling that Germany should become great and strong because other powers want to become economic centers of the world.
 The American citizens themselves know what damage has been inflicted on their trade, brought about by the illegal blockade. In spite of the Amer jeans own power, he has borne hither- to many humillations with surprising patience. Perhaps, in his silent ad- miration for the foreign powers, the American has silently borne these things that have greatly humiliatcd him.
 "Out of regard for the interests of the neutrals. Germany has relin- quished for the present one of her most effective weapons against the enemy, although she was compelled to wage a life and death struggle.
 Building upon what she has al ready achieved, Germany treads the threshold of the third year of war with unshaken confidence. But the goal has not yet been reached, for her enemies have not yet come to see the impossibility of subjugating Ger many"
