as boys often are, and then this young
woman will always have before her
the picture of the father whom she
shot down.
There is something in this life that
is quite as dreadful as prison bars or
hangman's moose. 1t is the remorse
that eats into the heart, always.
But Mrs. De Saulles' story is not
at all new one. 1t is the old, old,
story of girl in her teens fascinated
by the glitter and caring nothing for
the gold in a man. This girl pays
heavily, in tragedy. But they all pay;
if not in blood, in tears.

TIE END Is NOT YET.

Military experts are Of the opinion
that Haig has been stopped" AT any
rate he is still nearly 600 miles from
Berlin.
The best that the allies now hope in
Italy is stalemate and on the east
ern front and at saloniki there is
stalemate, or. worse. ,g4a sn,s =
Her half century of preparation fof
a driva&for world dominion 5was1by
no means qplAied to mobilization, Of
men, money munitions and transpor'
tation facilities. She prepared, also,
for absorbing or at least neutralizing
probable neutrals. In some of such
countries she colonized her propaganda
lists by the scores of thousands. In
others she established such economic
and trade conditions, aided by the
geographical and Typographical condi-
tons, that she could compel neutral
ity, if not, indeed, actual war alliance.
During the long stalemate on the
western front, Germany ruined Russia
as an entente ally and so poisoned
the Italian army that ruin knocked at
1taly's door. If, at present, there real
ly is a general stalemate, it will soon
be seen what Germany will do to
Switzerland, the Scandinavian neu-
trails and maybe Spain. Rest assured
that her war preparation included
work upon these nations. Stopped
on the battle fronts, she can still do
her secret, subtle fighting back of the
lines. Prolonging a defensive war,
she can play for war WEAKNESS
through seduction OF the neutrals and
with the kind assistance of such as
Lansdowne and other pacifist politi
leans of international note.

INDUSTRIALs AND OTHER l.
FEATURES FOLLOW RAILS

New York, Dec. 5.-Second only in
Importance to the presidents stirring
address to congress yesterday and ev-
en- more potent as market stimulant,
was the report submitted to that body
by the Interstate Commerce commits
sion bearing vitality upon the future
of the railroads of this country.
1t is yet too early to forecast even
to an approximate degree the effect OF
the commerce commissions recon.
mendatiOns, but the course of the
stock market following the publica.
ton of the report left no doubt Of its
immediate significance.
Strong Rebound From Low.
Rails were little more than 'irregu
lar during the first of the session, with
new low record for St. Paul pre-
ferred at GO. Early reports from Wash
ington were rather conflicting, but the
first intimatiOn of the proposed sus
pension of the Sherman law resulted
in a rebound in which prices were car
ried two to almost five points above
lowest levels.
Industrials. and the entire war list
as we'll as shippings, coppers and spe
cialties, shared in the advance. Unit
ed States Steel, for example, rallied
from its low Of S6A to S9%, with cor
responding gains elsewhere. Decided
strength ruled at the very active
close, total sales aggregating $4,000
shares.
The news from Washington was es
pecially timely by reason of additional
unfavCrable statements of railway
earnings. Money rates were relatively
easy but time funds were in smaller
supply.
Bonds Strengthen.
Bonds were heavy tor a time, but
strengthened with the stock list. Lib
erty As ruled at $3.50 to 97.G2 and
the 31A's at $3.50 to 9S.72. Total sales
(par value) amounted to $5,15O,OO0

FOR PEACE THAT WILL BE PEACE

FOR PEACE THAT WILL BE PEACE
Lansdowne fears that, if long con-
tinued, the war will destroy civiliza-
ton.
Very well, let US fight it to finish,
as early as possible.
Lansdowne's, like all other peace
propositions, is wrecked upon the fol-
lowing:
1. That any peace treaty with Ger
man autocracy would be worthless.
2. That peace which does not in
clude humiliation of Prussian mill
tarism means more armament by the
nations and finally more war.
Throughout the world there is no
'nsible person but realizes that these
4ings are the invulnerable truth.
Peace talk merely befogs the issue

Although she dieted she was so bloat-
ed her clothes would not fit. ONE
SPOONFUL buckthorn bark, glycerine
etc, as mixed in Adler-i-ka relieved
her INSTANTLY. Because Adler-i-ka
empties BOTH large and small intes-
