FERNS TO BE USED
 FOR FOOD ARTICLES

ONDON.-England may be soon eating ferns. A correspondent of the Times suggests that the great areas of bracken fern be turned to account in this country. He says that bread or cakes are prepared from such ferns in the Canary islands. There is q large supply of starch in the under ground stems of the bracken, while ;he young fronds of the plant are ex- cellent when served like asparagus. In rural England bracken has long cen eaten.
 It is also suggested that the prac- lice of cooking the common English weed called Good King Henry as q substitute for spinach be extended. Stinging nettles and dandelion are proposed as national foods. and it i:: urged that greater use should be made of wild fruits, such as blackberries.

KAISER FEARS DISAPPOINTMENT

THERE seems to be but little ques- ton that the emperor of Germany IS deeply concerned about the security of his throne The first great blow at the divine right of kings during the present war came when Russia to prevent the Czar making separate peace with Germany, unhorsed their ruler and pro Teutonic sympathizers. Following hard upon this came the Presidents denunciation of the auto cracy of Germany and his appeal, by implication to the people of Germany to take the Russian cue and depose the mllitarists.
 Now it is said that the Kaiser has ordered his chancellor to submit to him certain proposals looking to he reform of the franchise in Prussje, and to the shearing Qf the powers of the House of Lords.
 This is interesting in the light of the fact that after the imperial chaH- cellor. during the Russian revolution, gretended to ally himself on the side 1f reform. he announced during the latest sitting of the reichstag that ir ternal reform must await the cOncI!. sion Ot the war He said that the peo- ale could not afford to take their at "ention from the vigorous prosecution of the war to electoral reforms at this time.
 During the last few days the situa- tion has greatly changed. Germany has become torn with dissensIOn and revolution. Agitators are at work spreading the doctrine of socia!sm among the workers. and it seems but The question of a few days until the whole of the Kaiser's domain will be torn by civil war. The plot to over throw the Hohenzollern dynasty seems general throughout he empire. Dr. Rosemeyer, one of the most promi- nent of the German socialists. and for Berlin. is at the head of the propogan- dists, and is demanding that the Kali ser abdicate and the people be allowed 10 select their ruler. Contrary to all expectations the full text of the Pres ;dent's address was published in the socialist papers of Germany, but not for several days after it was delivered and after it mad been vigorously cen sored by officials of the government. French and British soldiers painted huge placards with the words If You Want Peace Get Rid of Your Kaiser" on them, and allied aviators scattered the Presidents address along the Ger man battle line, after having trans lated it into German.
 The Kaiser is badly worried. He IS aware of the feelings of his people. and is also aware that his throne is slipping from his grasp. If the sol diers once become convinced that they are fighting for the Hohenzollerns and not for their country they may take things into their own hands. The German monarch's war machine has become Frankenstein.
