WOMEN MKECKERS-

We hate TO say 1t, but the women
or high position in Europe have
played very disgraceful part in this
war. with few exceptions II
Is not yet too late--they have paid
| for their intriguos with loss of honor
and position. This is not saying any
| thing against the sen as a whole, for
loyal and more helpful than the
women OF the common people and
some Of the ladies OF title. But OF
royal women the list of undesirable
has grown and is still growing. Fem
ininc Influence ha, always been a
big figure I'm politics. Many thrones
have been lost any many wars waged
because the woman at court willed
bloodshed rather than sacrifice OF
some pet scheme. IL is n far cry
from Helen OF Troy TO Gaby Deslys.
but y hile the former embroiled two
brave peoples in war the latter upset
throne already grown unstable and
sent a harmless and inexperienced
scion OF royalty into private life and
exile.
Recognizing this power. the Ger
man government has pursued a steady
policy Of marrying off Its princesses
10 heirs OF the thrones OF all other
countries as fast as opportunity Of
fcred. This was part OF the long
preparation made for the present
war Il was figured that these Ger
man women would be able to so over
rule their husbands as - cause his
subjects either to join the central
powers outright or 20 so cripple all
p operations OF Germany's enemies as
TO render them ineffective. This well
nigh succeeded in EussiR before the
revolution came 1iorg ard spoiled the
game. In Greece the same plan
wrought great damage and delay TO
the allied plans until the people lost
patience with Constantine and sent
him away. Now it is Sweden whose
fate ~ trembling In the balance, for
Gustat, as well as he is liked has
shown himself under the influence OF
Queen Victoria. princess OF laden,

SIGNS OF THE END.

The opinion freely expressed that
mutiny Of German sailors and grow
ing dissatisfs ction in all ranks OF the
final breakup OF German aggression
strikes us as being somewhat prema-
ture. There - no doubt but such
disaffection exists, neither is there
any doubt that II is growing in volume
and power daily. but IT must be re-
membered that loyalty TO the kaiser
Is one OF the most deeply ingrained
characteristics OF the German people,
made so by training. heredity and
disposition, and IL will take a great
deal OF dlsaffection to make dent
H. this Unborn and inbred sentiment
But that this growth must continue
until the German government IN
either ovcrthrown or yields such con-
cessiOns as TO satisfy the malcontents
Is perfectly reasonable, tho II is not
reasonable to predict that the crisis
will come TO n head in the next few
weeks or months. The German mind
moves slowly, but irresstibly. IL may
be long time reaching given
point but when II does reach there II
viii he with force that will brook
no opposition.
Very naturally with us the wish Is
father to the thot We pray and hope
for the day when kaisersm will be
overthrOwn and democracy extend its
blessings to that really remarkable
race that now acknowledges fealty to
the ambitious and unprincipled man
nov occupying the throne OF the
llohr rnzollerns. But with this hope
we must combine patience and per
slstcnce. The beginning OF the Nyd
rests more with pure fidelity to the
cause we have espoused than II does
to any incipient rebellions on board
the kaiser's battleships This is not
enough for US TO call 1t evidence OF
German dissolution. Enough things
have happened in the United States
that TO the distorted Imagination of
the American nation was on the verge
OF n breakup. Let us not make the
same mistake of snap judgment. The
more reasonable probability is that
there are many weary months Of
conflict before these sturdy and stub
born people viii acknowledge defeat,
but when 1t does come 1t is not un-
reasonable to look for strenuous times |
within the German empire. Slow to |
upon their leaders there is going to |
be some exciting times.

claim against the county submitted by

action was brought against County
