NV Dream-Boat

The boat of my dreams I launched
away
In the strength of youths desire,
On the sea of the years
With it's laughter ands tears
And the storms that the Fates
conspire.
The boat of my dreams, with a wish
for a sail,
And never a thought of a shoal,
With Hope at the helm,
And the beautiful realm
OF happiness for my goal.
I launched away on a sea unknown,
And the soft breeze filled my sail
The years flew by
Meath a cloudless sky,
And scorned the rising gale.
But, alas. the fierce winds rent my
sail.
And my dream boat went astray;
OF nay wish bereft
There's nothing left
But a prayer at the end of the
day.

tian Herald.

Fate of the Deposed Car

That the deposed Czar Nicholas
has been permitted to SUBSCRIBE TO
the Russian Liberty Loan might be
taken as an indication that his for
mer subjects are beginning TO look
upon him with a more lenient eye
In a special cable despatch from
Petrograd, printed in the Herald TO-
day, Mr.. Herman Bernstein states
that, while there are demands that
the royal prisoner be tried in public
for the crimes of the aristocracy, 1t
is doubtful if a jury even will have
an opportunity to decide his fate.
Mr.. Bernstein quotes Vladimir
Vourtseff, the historian of the revo-
luton, as demanding such jury trial
for the last of the Romanoff En-
perors, but permitting the prisoner to
offer a defense. Even this bitter op-
ponent of the old regime, however,
does not repeat the demand so fire.
quently made in Russia Immediately
after the revolution-that the de-
posed Car should be executed. The
EXTREMIST penalty he asks is that
Nicholas be exiled after the war,
when he ceases to be danger to
the country. This change in the
Russians feelings toward their for
mer ruler, contemporaneous with
the onslaught of the new democracy's
armies in Galicia, might indicate that
the new Russia has discovered that
the weak and vacillating Nicholas
was less to blame for their country's
troubles since the war began than
the Teutons across the border who
capitalized his weaknesses for their
own benefit. The one great fact. and
one that augurs we'll for all the
Allies, is that the Russian people
are devoting all their time not to
fighting over the fate of q Nicholas

German Spy System

We have been imperiling the
lives of our merchant sailors, as we'll
as the ships which they sail and the
cargoes which they are trying to
deliver by courteously affording
espionage facilities to enemy sub
jects here representing the German
insurance companies. 1t was a
foolish exhibition of lenity and
laxity, now happily abandoned. Yet
it is hard to understand why the
Administration did not go further
and suspend the operation of the
German companies so far as con-
Germs direct insurance or reinsur-
ance of munitions factories, ship
building yards and other plants of a
military or semi-military character.
In fact, the Government has still
a great deal to do before it really
steps so far taken to control the
movements of enemy aliens in this
city are ludicrously inadequate.
Merely putting up signs warning
such aliens to keep away from the
waterfront and from arsenals and
other centres of military activity is
of no avail. Thousands of enemy
subjects here have obtained licenses
authorizing them to disregard those
signs. Others disregard them with
out having licenses.
The German spy system is per-
vasive and still in good working
order. Let US deal with it as If 1t
were a real danger, which it is, in
stead of merely trusting that enemy
subjects here will be considerate
enough to stop abusing our hos
pitality. = From the New York

CROP PEST LETTER
BY Prof. j. G. Sanders, State
Economic Zoologist
BROWN ROT

BhOWN ROT
" HOUSANDS of bushels of
plums start to decay or rot
on the tree just previous to
ripening, and many growers can
not account for this condition.
A distinct disease known as
brown rot" is carried over from
year to year by the old mummied
fruit on the tree or ground.
Warm rains develop the spores
which infect fruit, particularly in
breaks in the skin. Insects can
carry the spores when puncturing
fruits. Most tree fruits are af-
fected.
Bordeaux mixture, or self-boil-
ed lime-sulphur should be ap-
piled several times during the
growing season, and strong lime
sulphur in early spring, when
trees are dormant.

when he declared that Germany was
stalking her all on the submarine
and the challenge to America, then
Germany is lost If he did not mean
what he said. then the German peo-
pie find itself to-day the victim OF
policy of frivolous deception.
German miscalculation concern
ing the military results of the sub
marine war and the speed of Ameri-
can mobilization was matched by a
pitiful misunderstanding of Russian
conditions. Hollweg must have fore
seen the revolution in Russia when
he flung his challenge to America
last February; that did not call for
extraordinary gifts of prophecy. He
foresaw the confusion which fol-
lowed at Petrograd and the tenn
porary slackening of Russia's mill
tary energies. These things were in
evitable. But beyond such super
fetal anticipations his view did not
go. He did not understand the Rus
the essential spirit of the revolution,
he did not understand, or else refus-
ed to understand, the world-complex
which made the cause of Russian
freedom and the cause of the Allies
one and indissoluble. 1t may yet turn
out that the revolution was a gain
for Russian military strategy. It
enabled Brussiloff to outguess Hin
denburg. While the latter was pre-
sumably waiting for the automatic
decentralization of the Russian army,
Brussiloff was utilizing the respite
to prepare the materials of his new
offensive. The five months since
February have been for the Ger
man government a tragedy of err
rors.
But instead of attempting to make
atonement to a more or less dis
illusioned German people, the gov
ernment togs out Michaelis in the
uniform OF Holwegg, puts the old
Holwegg promises into his mouth
and tries to fool the German people
as it has done from the very out
start of the war. Discouraging al
though this. may be to those who
dreamed of German revolution, or
at least of liberalization of the
government which would be a step
toward a peace acceptable to the al
lies, in the end 1t may be for the
best. The longer the military powers
Of Germany continue to press their
views upon the German people in
the face Of certain defeat, the more
thorough will be the governmental
house-cleaning when it comes. The
higher It will swing on the side of
the masses when the change of di-
rection finally comes.
The Kaiser and those with him
have determined to play their des-
perate game to the last card. When
they quit it will be as broken gam
blers, penniless, friendless and des-
pissed even by their former friends.

ANOTHER HOLLWEGG
HANCEIT.OR N1CuAE1Is

~ HANCELLoR MICHAELIs is
a second Hollweg, only weaker.
That much is evident from the re-
ports of his first address to the
Reichstag which came seeping
through Copenhagen to-day. Mich
aelis is another "me-too" for the
Kaiser. His address, from which
many expected much that might lead
to a more liberal government in
Germany is Just what those more
familiar with the German situation
expected. He merely mouths the
- cheap utterances of Won Tirpitz,
Hindenburg, Hollweg and others of
their ilk. The people of Germany
have nothing to hope from him.
True, he stands for peace, but it
must be a German peace, won by the
sword-or rather, by the submarine.
for the new chancellor pins his hope
to the success Of the U-boats in
starving England. There is mot a
new thought in the whole speech. 1t
might have been made up of para
graphs clipped from one of Holl-
weg's addresses just previous to the
Inauguration of the submarine cam
paign last February.
He holds out to the people the old
vague promises of victory, with less
than ever to support them. Ameri-
cas- part in the war he counts of no
importance. The offensive of the al
lies on the west front has been
shattered" despite daily gains of
British and French and the smash
ing Of the Hindenburg line. The
Russian front is comparatively
quiet" despite the fact that Brussil-
off has crushed the Teuton lines for
miles. All is well with Germanys
allies, which are presenting an un-
broken front" although Austria is
known to be almost ready to break
away and the Balkan situation none
too good from the German view
point. And last, but far from least,
the U-boat campaign is doing all
that was expected and England and
France are to be starved, despite the
fact that they have food on hand
now enough to last until next har-
vest and after that until the spring
of 1918. at least
