of Premier Kerensky's determination

qualification here to-day as reports
that General korniloff's revolt WA

II kerensky succeeds in his disci-
plinary program, Korniloffs attempted

opinion of officials and diplomats. Such
an accomplishment would remove enc
of the great weaknesses Of tho new

populations on whose industrial sup

Kerenskys plan is believed to be to

A PRUssIAN 'sExcELLENCY.

Count Won Bernstorff has been honored by
the kaiser with decoration which carries the
title .'excelency'' with it. Perhaps he can be
said to have earned it. He certainly. eNcels IN
scoundrelism any other ambassador who was
ever accredited to the United States. lie Is a
good example of what Prussianism considers
excellence, but there is satisfaction in the
thought that he will never parade his titles IN
America again. All the power OF our govern
ment could not protect him against insult, pub
lie execration and possible physical violence
should he ever set foot on our soil.
Apropos of this, German statesman IS
quoted as saying that the trouble with this war
is that after it is over he will not be able to go to
london for ten years, to Paris for twenty, to
Vienna for forty. The fact of the matter is, at
though he may not see it, that no land on earth
will hereafter be open to Bernstorffs, Luxburgs,
Won Papens, Boy-Eds, Won Igels or ENJOYS of
that detestable militaristic school. The world
will want no more of them, will have no fur
Their use for diplomatic spiers, liars, miscreants
and maIefactors Of that stamp. After this war,
unless all indications are at fault, llberalzed
government Of Germany will send different
class of men to represent it in the capitals Of
the world.

..The greatest possible difficulty on

DR.. Newton went on to explain, has
been to believe the accounts of Ger

German people who are kind neigh

believe them guilty of such conduct.
But now they have woke UP to the

ers, and German excuses calumnies and lies.
1t is a gruesome recital which not all Ameri-

should realize the nature of the enemy with
whom they are at war. a peace which would
leave such acts unpublished and the govern
ment which ordered them in a position to re-
peat them in another war should be unthink
able. The dread Of another such horror should
not be left hanging over the world.
SO far the war has been waged in allied
countries, and their armies have not come in
contact with defenseless enemy populations
What the allied soldiers may do in Germany,
if they cross the Rhine, cannot be forecast All
we have to judge by is the fact that Teutonic
prisoners have been treated chivalrously No

have been made for sermons to be
| preached on particular Sunday
Throughout the whole country.
Before going back to America in
August, DR. Newton went out to the
western, front as one OF the first
party of American guests, who were
invited by the British foreign office,
and was thus able to give the people
of America first hand account of
the war and make them realize what
it meant. Between September one
and September fourteen he addressed
over two hundred thousand people
throughout the middle west of Amer
lea. 1T is a very solemn thing
said DIR. Newton, when you see
great nation organizing itself and
getting ready for supreme struggle.
1t is an awe-inspiring spectacle.
When / returned to America found
the whole country organized from be-
ginning to end, both in its men and
its industries, and taking advantage
of the experience Of the allies. The
result in few months has been
simply stuDendous, and the Americans
themselves are surprised at what has
been done in SO short time"
People over here added DR.. New
ton, must not think that the Ameri-
cans imagine they are coming over
here under the impression that they
are going to finish up the war. The
Americans fully realize all that they
owe to the men who have borne tho
brunt of the war and made supreme
sacrifices for three years.

1t is true that big appetite is
expensive in these days of high
prices, but there is nothing that pays
such large dividends. Healthy bodies
require sufficient food to nourish
them. The man or woman who has
a poor appetite may save few dol

usually SO weak that what they save
in one way they lose in another
through inefficiency.
