A third time she knocked, and ther

England Doing Share

The persistent attacks of the Ger
mans and anti English Irish among us
on Great Britain since the beginning
of the war have also been directed to-
ward making France, Canada, the
United States. and every one else pos
sible dissatisfied with Great Britain's
share in the war.
The facts do not substantiate this
charge.
Great Britain has $4,000, 900 popula-
ton, in contrast with 100000 for
France. 3G,O00.0O0 for italy, $4,000, 900
Tor Russia. and somewhere more than
l00.0OO,O00 for u.s.
This 45.000.0OO has furnished far
larger proportion of the naval strength
and shipping than any other nation.
and has done this from the beginning
OF the war This has also necessitated
bearing most OF the odium attached to
the blockade which was for the gen.
oral benefit of all the allies as well as
England.
From the beginning. also. they have
furnished more money than any other
ma ton.
In the first two years OF the war
they did not furnish as many men
as either France or Russia, but ut
present the British army in France Is
about as large as the French. The
British have. besides. an army in
Egypt. another at Saloniki (as have
also the French) and another In Mes
opotamia. Moreover, the British Isles
have furnished as many men in pro-
portion and suffered as great losses as
any Of their colonies, besides putting
forth an extraordinary industrial eff
fort.-The Worlds Work for No.

One day, in a thriving suburban

those by whom she was employed and

checks, that the railroad company
which employed her husband had told
him that he must purchase 500 Lib

He would be willing, she said, to pay
So. but he couldn', possibly afford
the larger sum. The mistress eX-
planned all about the government
bonds. that their purchasers sacrI-
feed nothing and that upon each bond
fou per cent interest would be paid
annually. The woman. delighted at
the new phase OF the situation, and
PARTICULAR. that she would receive
a half per cent more yearly on the
bond than upon her savings in the To-
cal bank, FASTENED home and soon led
a delegation of her neighbors to the
office OF the railroad company. where
the bonds we're being sold.

German Girls Vie,u of War
Uses No Camouage Explaining Prussian Ideal of Divine
Right to Rule the World

The following letter from 4 Prussian
girl to a friend in Switzerland may
throw light upon that amazing state
OF mind of the Prussian people which
leads them to support and applaud
their king in plunging the world into
war. For behind the war, and the
real cause of il, there is a Prussian
way Of looking at things That way is
50 foreign to our American ideas OF
right and wrong that Americans can
hardly understand it or believe that II
exists.
The letter is printed in the Congress
sional Record. and is taken from page
S,Oi6 Of the volume for the recent ses-
sion. No doubt this girl is just an
average Prussian in the ideas she
shows regarding a supposed Prussian
right to rule the world. She expresses
the idea a little more simply and
frankly. than the Prussian statemen.
that Is all. That great intelligent
people like the Prussians can be so
ignorant and. perverted in their moral
ideas is what is hardest for Americans
to understand.
