Kaiser's Dream Of World Empire.

Chief Censor Crcel must have found time to
read Bernhard's book for the chief item Of
news sent out from Washington Sunday night
reads like review Of that much referred to pros
peetus of Prussian plans. Nothing novel or es-
pecially alarming is to be found in this rean-
nouncement of the dream OF world empire nursed
by the German kaiser. II has been known to in
ternatonal politicians for many years; in fact,
little effort has been made to conceal it from the
world. The pretentious tour to the Holy Land
by the kaiser and his announcement Of protecto-
rate over Turkey was in some ways notice to the
world at large that the Berlin-to Bagdad line was
Therefore, the present announcement can hardly
claim attention because Of its being recent dis
covery.
Such an ambition has filled the minds of great
rulers for thousands Of years The lust Of power,
greed for possession, sheer delight in conquest,
various motives have spurred them on, and his
tory is full Of the names Of warriors, listed as
"conquerors," who have nearly il not quite placed
the world under subsection. Such conquest has
always been the hope and inspiration Of militar-
ism, as the term is now understood It does not
contemplate the peace Of the people, save as they
are subjugated and brought under dominion and
the world can only be made safe for democracy
by successful resistance to the scheme Of empire.
William the Second OF Germany is not the
first to dream these dreams Of world DONNA
ton, nor is he likely to be the last. He is only
the latest and bis vision Of Prussianized world
is about dispelled But the people must realize that
now, as ever, eternal vigilance is the price Of
liberty" and only those who are ready to pro-
tect it will ever enjoy the boon.

Popularity Of Thin Paper Books.

New York, May 17.-To the Editor
of The Bee: WhensI arranged for the
editorial organization which created
the new Encyclopedias Britannica,
and when the work was ready for pub
LEGATION both in this country and in
England, I issued the book in two
forms--one printed on thick paper,
which was the usual form in which the
britannica had always appeared, the
other printed on India paper. My OBJ
;cct in using this remarkably thin pa
per was to So reduce the bulk of the
volumes that people could hold them
and use them Just as they would any
other book-that Is. without the
slightest effort. recognized that the
use of India paper was tremendous
innovation. 1t was an experiment pure
and simple. Some of my friends in the
publishing world in London laughed at
the idea; others said 1t was certainly
worth trying out, nut none said 1t
would be successful.
We let the public decide the ques-
ton for themselves. We offered to
sell the book in either form, and you
can judge of the success of this en-
tirely new way of issuing the Britain
MICA by the fact that our records show
that 81 per cent Of our subscribers
purchased the Britannica printed on
India paper. The other per cent
were libraries.
We now find it impossible to get any
more India paper on account Of the
war. Therefore we have to announce
the end of the Britannica printed on
India paper. Hereafter anyone who
wants the Britannica will have to be
content with the thick paper.
Now what I have said above would
not justify you in printing this letter
were 1t not for the fact, admitted by
all scholars, that the Encyclopaedia
Britannica is an educational work. II
its publication is to be continued, and
IL we are compelled by circumstances
over which we as publishers have no
control, to issue it on thick paper, 1t

World Needs Preachers.

Omaha, May 1S.-To the Editor of
The Bee: / have read in The Bees
Letter Box Charles Hooper's letter en-
titled More Ministers" and heartily
agree with him. This world is in
great need of more ministers. not the
kind that breaches for the almighty
dollar, but the kind that breaches for
the good of mems souls. The real
spirit filled minister, the kind that can
teach the people the. old-time Bible
salvation, that's the kind this world
needs.
A great trouble Of most of the min
listers of today is that they lack the
real fire and zeal of the Holy Spirit;
they have fine college education ana
are fine takers, but their sermons are
dry and lifeless.
We want something that will stir
the people as in the days of the apos-
ties. If there were five real spirit
filled ministers in each city of the
United States I dare say this would
be a very different world. There
would be more Bibles read and less
novels, and a few less penitentiaries.
The prophecies of the Bible are fast
being fulfilled, and, according to the
scriptures, the end of time is near;
yea, even at the door. Let us pray
the Lord of the harvest to send more
laborers into His vineyard.
