The dire portent of the Hapsburgs is the

in New York is indeed striking. In New York
the waste of days food would placate an
army of anarchists. At all the great hotels
there are nightly dances; and entertainments
in the way of bazaars and fancy dress balls
are constantly given.
Wilson's war action was something be-
tween coup d'etat and miracle. Had he
made his declaration six months ago he would
probably have called forth civil war By sp-
pearing to be holding back he allowed the
people to push him on. In this situation the
President showed the fierce patience of the
Jew. (He is at least of Scotch descent)
"But cannot help thinking that the result
was in no small measure due to the constant
and courageous efforts of the leading press of
New York. The war movement may be said
to have been one of press and President. The
travelled classes were from an early date of
the war for the most part intellectually
on the side of the Allies"

But the White Lady? Dorothea
Of Brandenburg, wife Of the Great Elector,
attended the funeral of her husband in 1858.
She was dressed all in white, her face COW
cred with a white veil, her hands in white
muf Whence comes the superstition of the
Hohenzollerns: that the appearance of a
woman in white means death and disaster.
Often, so they say, the White Lady has been
seen. Napoleon refused to sleep in the Pal
ace of Bsyreuth because the White Lady
walked there. Prussan lore has it that in
1899 sentry on guard at the gate to the
palace in Berlin saw her one night. And Of
course, Prussian lore attributed the conquest
Of the country by NAPOLEON TO her coming.

A Lineage
OF Madness

"For these" he says, "are the Hohen-
zollerns":
Friedrich Wilhelm worked himself into
such terrible tempers that he impulsively
dismissed every one around him. Frederick
the Great was eccentric. His sister, the Mar
gravine of Bayreuth, left written memoirs
that suggested insane degeneracy. Friedrich
Wilhelm II stepped himself in debt and
women He was the father of Friedrich Will
helm ", who went to his old German God
quite mad. This monarch had a brother
Wilhelm, who had a daughter who became
Queen of Bavaria. She left two sons, Lud-
wig II and Otto. The two sons died mad.
There came Wilhelm /, grandfather of the
present Kaiser. His wife, the Empress Au-
gusta, came down from Paul of Russia, who
died mad. His son died of cancer of the
throat. Which brings us TO Wilhelm II of
Hohenzollern.

instruments
OF God

about Wilhelm Hohenzollern there is
feudal mystery and mysticism. But
let US consider how men who believed them
selves instruments of God have drenched the
world in blood. There was Moses, who
brought a century and half Of warfare to
the Hebrews, who made the Red Sea a Masu-
rian Lakes There was Tamerlane, killing
and pillaging in the name of the Almighty.
There was Mahomet, another representative
of God on earth, and who soaked it in blood
And there is Wilhelm IL of Germany, who
said, Remember that you are the chosen peo-
pie even as Moses said it. The spirit of
the Lord has descended upon me because
am the German Emperor
"The things that were written centuries
ago, some of them, are very strange. There
is the Book of Revelations which says, Let
him that hath understanding count the num-
Der of the beast; for it is the number of a
man; and his number is six hundred three
score and six.
"Now the beast meant n monarch who
drenched the world with war.
"A dabbler in prophecies has analysed this
statement of St. Johns. He offers: six
hundred and sixty-six years is not the age of
a man. Six hundred and sixty-six weeks is
the age of boy. Six hundred and sixty
six months is the age of a man, or fifty-fve
and one-half years
Emperor Wilhelm II was exactly six hun
bred and sixty-six months old the day war
began.
LET him that hath understanding count
the number of the beast for it is the num-
Der OF man; and his number is six hundred
and sxty-six.'"

How They Do 1t

who was very excited. 81 saw it once
before at Y. They showed it to me.
1t is driven by single operator, who ma
nnuvres his machine gun with special
device, so that he doesn't have to lose
his direction. All, that is marvellous!
That is marvellous And how fast he
goes, He could give the Boche a handicap
of thirty kilometres an hour"
The frail machine, the man who was its
brain and the deadly mitrailleuse were all
one beautifully welded unit. They dashed
ahead, filling the imagination with sense
of almost illimitable ferocity. The pur
sued bird knew now that it was much too
late to fee, that there was no time left to
escape. 1t sought to defend itself 1t also
was armed, and one could hear the crack
ling of its machine gun. But the pursuer
disdaned to respond. i commenced to
mount in great sweeping circes-to
mount whirling, as does its brother, the
hawk, when it wishes to dominate and
swoop down upon sparrow. Not that
the French machine wished to swoop down.
Simply by taking advantage of its superior
climbing power it avoided the fire of its
antagonist.
'Look at the Boche" shouted the chauf-
feur. 1T is as if he was weighted down.
He cannot put bullet into the Frenchman
now-not single one. All, if only were
not so old"
All the automobile mechanicians-all
who know how to tinker with motor
when they have spent some time at the
front, dream of becoming aviators. The
thing which they drive dsgusts them, be-
cause it cannot leave the earth.
And when the hawk-like machine had
reached the height of its flight, determined
in advance to the second, it inclined its
body with a cold and cruel precision,
pointed its beak, the muzzle of its mitrail-
leuse, toward the doomed sparrow and
began TO fire. The other also continued
to fire, but at random and to no purpose,
headlessly, like a bird squawking from
fear.
All at once the French machine ceased
firing and took again tc planing-delib-
crate, silent, sinister and certain, like the
hawk which waits and watches. 1t had
accomplished its work. 1t had now only
tc wait. That it knew.
The big German dragon-hy tilted des-
perately and, on the right side, the double
wing suddenly broke. One could hear
nothing; it was too high up. 1t broke, in
horrible silence. Undoubtedly the pilot at
tempted to restore the machines balance,
for the frame tilted sharply on the other
plane; and then, on the other side, the
double wing broke. One saw the vast
pinions come together like closing fan.
And the machine fell-fell like stone.
No; rather like a poor. wounded bird,
crippled by gunshot wound.

THE next day, having decided to pass
l. the night in the cantonment, the major
saw the aviator return. The victor Of
the evening before left his machine in the
fields and came into the hospital TO warm
his hands. lie was child, hardly nine
teen years old, with cheeks as downy as
peach and innocent eyes.
"Well," said the major, "you brought
one down yesterday, didn't you?"
"Oh," he answered carelessly, at was
my twelfth"
And he warmed his stiTened fingers
nonchalantly over the Stove.

Ghosts of the New World

I"There are no ghosts in American
THERE are no ghosts, you say,
L To haunt her blaze of light;
No shadows in her day,
No phantoms in her night.
Columbus tattered sail
Has passed beyond her hail.
You'll meet in Salem town
No silver-buckled shoon;
No lovely witch to drown,
Or burn beneath the moon;
Not even a Whit of tea,
On Boston's ghostly quay.
Then let your Pullman cars
Go roaring TO the West;
Till, watched by loneler stars,
The cactus lifts its crest.
In that strange painted land
One desolate shade shall stand.
Wreck Of a dying race,
The Red Man, half in scorn,
Shall raise spectral face,
Inscrutable as the sky,
To watch our ghosts go by.
Must Europe grope at last
Where Rip Van Wrinkle went,
To find an age has passed
And lit continent,
And made "a world elsewhere"
With graves, and graves to spare?
O, ghostly Spanish walls,
Where brown Franciscans glide.
Is there no voice that calls
Across the Great Divide
To pilgrims on their way
Along the Santa Fe?
What? On that magic coast.
Where Raleigh fought with fate:
Or where that Devon ghost
Unbarred the Golden Gate.
Saw you no strange bronzcd men
Beat III from sea again?
