AUSTRIAN PRINCE
FLAYS GERMANY.

The Neue Zuericher Zeitung, of
Zurich, Austria, publishes a remark
able protest against the pan-German
war aims and dreams of annexations
and indemnities. 1t is written by
Prince Alexander zu Hohenlohe, for
mer Austrian finance minister, and
says in part:
Every unbiased observer of the
economic conditions of the different
belligerent countries knows that all
the fighting nations have made such
tremendous sacrifices in blood and
treasure that the payment of indem-
mites is out of the question. The ter
rible wounds caused by the war can
not be healed again.
IF the titanic struggle does not
end very soon every one of the bellig-
erent nations will be bankrupt.
doubt very much that any one of
them would today be able to pay an
indemnity of a considerable size.
The Central powers can not hope to
collect even few billions to REIN
burse them for the enormous cost of
the war, but our awful sacrifices will
not have been made in vain. We will
get an indemnity which will be worth
more to us than all the gold and treas
ure of the world-a permanent peace.
We must work for the realization of
this war aim.
after three years of continuous
terrific fighting on the battlefelds the
tired, exhausted nations know that no
decision in the murderous struggle
can be reached. They no longer care
how much territory could eventually
be conquerer, or how many billions
might in the end be squeezed out Of
the enemy.
"The soldiers Of every country and
the men and women at home have but
one thought-peace. They pray from
day to day that this awful slaughter
which is depopulating the world may
cease, and / believe that the end of
the carnage is not far distant"

POTATO INSURANCE.

Michigan Agricultural College au-
thorities are calling attention to the
fact that blight often spoils prom
ising crop of potatoes on which much
labor and considerable money has
been expended, They also give the
timely information chat most of such
losses can be avoided by application
of Bordeaux mixture to the growing
plants. 1t is not effectual to use this
spray after the plants have become
affected by the blight, but if used be-
forehand it will to a very great eX-
tent prevent loss. Bordeaux is cheap
and full instructions as to how to pre-
pare and apply it may be had by
