MAY BRING PEACE TO WORLD

The least compromised of Gar many's few really clever diplomats, Dr. Richard von Kuhlmann, has been re- called from Constantinop1e and placed at the head of the imperial foreign office. Many observers, both within and without the German empire, think that this young and brilliant diplomat has been appointed with a view to con- ducting peace negotiations, and they point to his residence in Constantine pie, The Hague, and London as likely to render him conversant with the finer points of the difficulties to be en- countered, and they recall his former popularity in the British capital as a proof of his acceptability as a media tor by the allies. Turning to purely German opinion, we find that Dr. von Kuhlmann is suspected by the pam Germans as being too sympathetic to England, but by the great majority of the German press he is regarded with admiration and hope.

Fox Worried by Food Problem.

It is not often that the sly fox re- veals to man his method of securing his daily rations; so that men of Can ton Centre, Conn.,, who were hauling logs were quite surprised recently to see a large red fox on the hillside only about ten rods from the team. He was not the least bit disturbed. Suddenly he leaped into the air and bounced onto the snow. This operation was re- peated several times, the fox jump ing several feet into the air each time
 He was doubtless trying to break through the crust and catch the mice which he heard borrowing under the snow. The hard, deep snow makes it much harder for the foxes to catch the little animals except when they are running for cover.-Hartford Courant.

 This man who has built towns over night is Col. Isaac w.
