There can be no peace with the en-
peror of Germany and the German au-
tOcracy because no reliance can be
placed on their pledges unless ex-
picitly supported by the will of the
German peoples themselves.
Such is the gist of President Will
sons reply to the pope rejecting, on
behalf of the United States the peace
proposals. made by his holiness. 1t
was delivered at the Vatican Tuesday
and was regarded as the reply of all
the nations leagued against the cen
tral powers.
Mr.. Wilson's note is the climax of
the series of magnificent state docu-
ments in which he has set forth the
claims of world democracy and is an
ether stirring Indictment of the auto
cratic government of Germany. 1t as
sPrts that peace on the terms pro-
posed by the pope would only give
Germany time to recuperate for re-
Bewal of its furious and brutal Dol-
icy by which it seeks to dominate the
world; would maze necessary per
manent hostile combination of nations
against the German people, and would
result ''in abandoning the newborn
Russia to the intrigue, the manifold
Egbtle interference, and the ceStalh
conference.-the which would be at
tempted by all the malign influences
IN which the German government mas
Bf late accustomed the world. Again
The president makes it clear that
America is making war without desire
for gain or revenge, and does not seek
the infection of punitive damages, the
dfSmemberment of empires or the es-
adjustment of selfish and exclusive
economic leagues; but he says no
man, no nation could depend on trea-
ties or agreements made by the pres
Egt German government and I'VE must

THE RUMBLE OF BATTLE

 With these words he returned to his seat Roosevelt strode to his chair and eXclamed "Mr Gompers, why don't accuse afterwards? I'll answer now when murder is to be answered."
 With that the colonel brought down on MT. Gompers shoulder his open left hand which he had raised above his head
 At this juncture many of the men on the platform leaped to their feet and there storm of hisses cheers and '1boos" from all parts of the house.

Fish Enemy of Mosquitoes.

Awaiting himself to the discovery
that the cynpin or red fish is fond
of the mosquito larvae and the eggs,
500 of these fish were introduced into
the waters of the rice plantations of
Madagascar by Doctor Legendre, a
well-known French scientist. The
presence of the pests and the pre-
valence of the malaria resulting made
this part of the country almost unin-
habitable, and increased the difficult
ties of the grain culture enormously.
In about six months time, however,
the 500 fish had multiplied to 10000,
and the insects and disease have al
most disappeared. Besides this, the
fish have been found to be valuable
addition to the native food.

What Impressed Her.

Shortly after Mr.. Will Crooks, the
labor leader, was elected to parlia-
ment, says an English weekly, he took
his little daughter to Westminster. She
was evidently awed at the splendors
round her, and maintained a profound
and wondering silence all the time. Mr..
Crooks was delighted to see her SO
much impressed.
SWELL" said he to her at last, what
are you thinking so deeply about,
dear?

the little girl, 'that you're big man

of foregone conclusion that Pension
would get the promotion.
The next day Ruth sat by her front
window sewing. 1t was cold, buster
ing March weather, but Ruth was a
CHEEKY little soul, and her Surroundings
generally reflected herself. Some
thrifty plants grew by the window,
and the room was orderly and attrac-
tive with good taste in the color and
line of its arrangement.
Suddenly she became aware of a
commotion outside. There was a
crash, and an overturned automobile.
She ran out quickly. A man was bend
ing over the form of a woman lying
by the roadside, and another man
coming up on the run to the assist
ance of the chauffeur. Ruth got down
closely to the woman to see If she still
breathed. She began to regain con-
seriousness, and Ruth raised her head,
trying to make her comfortable.
"We must get her into the house"
said Ruth. II think together we can
manage it.
.'Let me see If I~can stand. Oh ~
she groaned, ''it's my arm!''
The lady found she could stand on
her feet, and with the assistance of
the two was taken into the house.
The man, WHO proved TO be stranger
who was passing, on finding the lady
was not seriously injured. hurried out
TO see about the chauffeur.
Ruth had her guest comfortably be-
slowed on the couch, then she said
briskly: "Now let us see about the
arm"
She had studied first aid to the in
jured," and she went about the exam
ination in quite professional way.
But the slightest touch brought
shrieks of pain from the lady.
81 don't think there are any bones
broken" said Ruth. Il think it is
just sprain."
And she proceeded to bandage the
wrist in a most efficient way. Next she
brought warm comforting drink to
her guest, and then announced she
would telephone for a doctor. The
lady acquiesced. Then she began TO
inquire about the chauffeur. Ruth
ran out to sea what had happened,
and was told he had been taken into
the house opposite, and was rather
badly injured.
