THE KAISER'S ATTITUDE
TOWARD US IN 1898.

During the weeks which succeeded
the sinking Of the Maine February Is,
1899. John Hay, secretary Of state at
the time, left nothing undone to pro-
pitiate England. and he worked to
good purpose; for after the declara,
ton OF war; Germany very secretely
asked England to join her and France
, in putting their fleets between Cuba
and the United States fleet. The Eng
lish foreign secretary replied prompt
ly mo" and he added that IL the Brit
ish fleet took any part in the war, it
would be to stand between the Euro
pean fleets and the American.
The immense service which Eng
land rendered the United States by
this act cannot be overestimated. and
II should more than offset, as I think
the unfriendliness Of the British
Tories toward us during our civil! war.
Reflect for moment what would have
happened II England had listened to
Germanys reptilian proposal. With
those three European fleets guarding
the coast of Cuba, we could never
have reached that island, much less

a Burlington doctor has a plan for
saving fuel'and cutting coal consump-
ZION. The Hawk-Eye says:
1T. n. b. Young says: while there
mas neen much talk Of thrift and con-
serVation, and along the line of fuel
as wei as all others, it seems to me,
lhat something has been overlooked.
1t is simple thing, too. But it
means saving of ten per cent. Now.
no man would overlook or turn down
perfectly good chance of getting ten
per cent for his money Coal that
has been bought, is just about the
same as cash, and coal saved is just
the same as money saved. Save ten
per cent of your coal, and you are
making ten per cent on the money
that you put into that coal.
L am not simply expressing
theory, but l speak from experience.
have tested this thing out for three
years and know, that it is all that l
claim for it. use perforated shovel
in connection with my work at the
furnace. l burn soft coal and when
removing the ashes, use perforat-
ed shovel, which has holes in it about
the size of the end Of one of my
fingers. What falls through goes into
the ash pile, and what remains in the
shovel goes back into the furnace. BY
doing this, l burn practically every
thing in the coal, that is not consumed
at the first firing Before used that
shovel the waste was more than ten
per cent. Now, there is practically
no waste. 1t is the same principle
as sitting the ashes, but who wants
to sift ashes now. The extra work is
almost nothing, and the person who
does that work is making very big
wages at it.
IF you do not want to throw the
contents of the shovel back into the
furnace Immediately, it will be found
grand for building up your fire in the
morning. Some of that residue has
been turned into coke and therefore
burns rapidly and gives forth much
heat.
THE proof of the pudding lies in the
eating thereof Here is something
that can easily be tested out-an OPP
portunity to get ten per cent on your
money. Try it OUT

Has Reached Mr.. Wilson

|
WASHINGTON, Nov 26.-The Boil
sheviki proposal for an armistice and
universal peace is officially before
President Wilson today. The peace
offer arrived over Sunday from Am
bassador Francis, Petrograd.
| 1t will be carefully considered by
President Wilson and by Secretary
of State Lansing. Whether it will
be answered is still undecided. An
answer might be construed as recog-
milton of the Bolsheviki as the de-
facto government and this matter
will be one of the chief points in
determining Americas course.
In any event this governm ent will
not accept an armistice and 1t has
no intention of negotiating for peace
until its aim Of safety for world de-
mocracy is accomplished, the state
department indicated today.
If an answer is given, 1t will en-
deavor probably to solidify the Rus
sian people behind the war and to
shatter further efforts at an armis-
tice or a separate peace which might
aid Germany.
The Bolsheviki control is rapidly
extending to the Russian army and
navy according to diplomatic officials
here today Unofficial reports lead
the Russian embassy to believe that
the maximalist power has not reach
ed it's crest yet. The internal Boil
sheviki program is gaining in
strength every day. 1t may be some
weeks or even months it was pointed
out before the Russian masses
realize that their program of an In
ternational peace is doomed to
failure.
Reports of fighting on the Jacob
stadt sector are regarded as signlh-
cant by military attaches of the EN-.
bassy. They believe it inevitable that
some army units will refuse to fall
in with the Bolsheviki program.

Cake.

|
Washington Star: The friends of
conservation and economy have taken
! their stand against cake. 1t has been
recommended for banishment from
the table Thus do the horrors OF
war accumulate, 1t is charged that
this delectable food Is a costly con
sumner of sugar, eggs, butter. milk,
-four and other high priced MAJ
terials. 1t may be that these articles
are still to be found in some cake,
but it is hopelessly old fashioned
cake. Perhaps cake may be taken
off the table without injury to life
and happiness. SO many other things
have already been taken off the tahle
that one more will not matter much.
It may be that the removal OF cake
from the bill of fare will cause some
hardship to its votaries- The cake
habit complicated with the ice cream
habit is very tightly fastened upon
some charming and much beloved
persons. Let patriotism rise above
cakei II it is necessary to fOrego
cake in order to win this war, then
! let us forego! Within a few days
many men who have not yielded to
! the temptation of cake and ice cream,
nor permitted that vicious habit TO
enfold them in its meshes, will be
called upon to forego things which,
though they may be Of less food
value, are more stimulating than
cake.
