so long. then, as the sun shines
on us it must be our purpose to en-
ter the FIRST class of the economic
world group powers. This involves
the adhesion of the other central
European states and nations. Elk
cept to our comrades Of German
race living in Austria and Hungary,
it IS indeed Of no special direct in
terest to these peoples that we Ger
mans should sit in the upper coun-
ell CT universal history. 1t is not
to be expected Of them that they
should share our historical senti-
ments Since there beats within
them a heart Of another race and
of different stuff. They will put the
question 70 themselves from their
own point of view, whether in the
choice of German, Russian or Eng
lish leadership they wish TO belong
to the German world union or not
Hence, sooner or later they
must decide with which union they
will or can range themselves, &C
cording to geographical position,
production, or mental leanings
This is a harsh necessity. a heavy
fate, but il is the overpowering ten
dency of the age. the categorical
imperative of human evolution"

rope. 1916, p. 194)
"A vital Europe needs agrari-
an territories on its boundaries and
must make the accession easy and
sible, an extension of its northern
and southern seacoasts; it needs its
share in oversee colonial posses
sions. But how can all this be talk
ed OF now without getting involved
in inconclusive discussions of neu-
trality or in the coming negotiations
at the peace congress?
And who is prepared TO say
where the future central European
trench-made boundaries will run
Whether they will pass on the in
ner or the outer side or Roumania,
or on this or that side of Bessara-
bia? Whether they will follow the
Vistula or not? Whether Bulgaria
is 10 be included in the central Eu-
ropean sphere Of interest or not
Whether or not we shall secure a
line OF railways to COnstantinople in
the trusty hands Of allies? What
Mediterranean seaports will come
into consideration as the starting
point Of central European railway
lines? What will become OF Ant
werp? How the Baltic sea will ap-
pear after the war? Thus there are
a hundred questions which will still
remain TO be answered. Their
answer will be essentially affected
according 10 whether the German
Austrian union is at bottom some
thing that is desired and deterrr ned
upon or not Here and here only is
the birthplace OF Mid-Europe.'

This is matter Of great I'M

SET FIRE TO HIS OWN PLANT
Head Of Establishment Adopted Start
ling Method Of Showing Prepared
ness Against Flames.

Would you be willing to set fire to
your place of business, just to show
folks that it was. amply provided
with fre-fghting equipment? That
is what the head of a cleaning and
dying establishment in Louisville,
Ky, did recently.
In accordance with "a city ordi-
nance, the company had equipped its
plant SO that steam might be used in
extinguishing gasoline fires. Other
cleaners were arrested for failure to
comply with the ordinance, and when
they were being tried the court did
not understand why steam was speci-
fed as an instrument to extinguish
fire.
The head of the plant already
equipped offered to demonstrate the
efficacy of his steam extinguishing
equipment and the offer was accept
ed. Ten gallons of gasoline were
thrown on the floor and walls of one
of the rooms. Cleaning machines
were filed with gasoline and then
closed. A match was thrown into
the room and the gasoline burst into
flames.
The heat caused the fredoors to
close automatically, steam was
turned IN through a valve and in
less than two minutes the flames
were extinguished before any dam
age had been done.

HERES CHAMPION FISH STORY
Angler Encounters Giant RattIesnake
Swimming in River and Hooks
Reptile After Battle.

Howard Wells of Dunmar, W.
Va, and two companions, who were
angling for bass in Capon river day
or two ago, were given the fright Of
their lives when a large rattlesnake
was discovered swimming across the
stream and rafting its tail in man
ner that left no doubt of its readiness
for battle, says a Winchester (Va)
dispatch to the Baltimore Sun.
: Each of the three men was wading
and struggling to land four and five
pound bass which they had hooked,
and instead of going in the opposite
direction the snake swan right up
to Mr.. Wells, whose companions had
retreated.
Wells kept one eye on the snake
and the other on the line, at which
the fish was tugging gamely, and
when the rattler came within strik-
ing distance he dealt it a back-break-
ing blow with small steel rod. A
fish hook caught the snake in the
mouth and Mr.. Wells pulled in fish
and snake at the same time. The
bass weighed a little over five
pounds. The snake was four and one
half feet long, its body was as large
as mans forearm, and its tail con-
tained nine rattles and a button.
River men never saw a rattler swim
in the river, they said.
