CHANGE OF EMPERORS
 WANTED IN GERMANY

'If the fortunes of war are finally decided against the German Empire, then every one will awake to the fact that. in her own interests, the Hohen- zollerns absolutely must, voluntarily or compulsory, be relieved of their inn perial functions" Such is one of the statements contained in the pamphlet recently published in Germany and promptly suppressed by the govern ment there. It continues: "A mere glance at the newspaper articles Of our enemies makes it obvious that in the Entente countries governments and people alike feel deadly hatred for the present German emperor. It is against the Kaiser and his son that the most venomous attacks are dir eeted. They are held responsible, not merely for the outbreak of the war, but also for all those acts of war about which our enemies assert that they are justified in complaining. This be- ing so, how can anyone still believe that Britain, France and Russia will ever consent to negotiate with the pres ent principle personages in Germany that is to say, with William II. and his son?
 "We should remember the magnan- unity with which Napoleon abdicated his position of Emperor, in order to enable his country to conclude peace and to obtain more lenient conditions from the victor. Is William II. capa- ble of making such sacrifice for the German nation as Napoleon made for the French nation?
 I am convinced that the Entente countries will be willing to resume peaceful commercial relations with a Germany which has rid herself of the Hohenzollerns. It would no doubt ev- en be possible to Approach the subject of colonies. If it were possible by a change of dynasty to give the Entente
 
 a guarantee that the influence of this party has once and for all been set aside and that the much desired place in the sun will no longer be in terpreted as meaning that everyone else is excluded therefrom, but in the sense of all sharing 1t alike, then Greater Germany might emerge from this calamitous war"
 This pamphlet, of which the above are extracts, shows very clearly the trend of thought of a large portion Of the population of the German empire, but not including the Prussians. From this it seems to be realized that the Hohenzollern ideas and the further progress of Germany are incompati- bIe. Just as France and Napoleon had to separate so will Germany and Will liam. It is interesting to note that this was written in Bavaria, the one part of Germany where the people have the freest constitution, and where the voice of the people is paid most attention to.

 No analysis has been made, but tests indicate that about four-fifths of the substance is lime.

j. Pierpont Morgan began his will
thus:
/ commit my soul into the hands
Of my Savior in full confidence, that
having redeemed it and washed It
in His most precious blood, He
will present, it faultless before the
throne Of my Heavenly Father; and
Antreat my children to maintain
and defend at all hazards and at
any cost of personal sacrifice, the
blessed doctrine of complete atone
ment for sin through the blood of
Jesus Christ, once offered and thru
that alone.
This looks as though Mr.. Morgan
was a Christian in BELIEF 1t is a
great testimony of the power of
the gospel over the mind and heart
of man Of gigantic powers and
