Kaiserites Still Have Big Army.

AAASSlACSS oSAA nave nS ARMY
While the kaiser has his ear to his
telephone in Bentinck's castle in Hol-
land he cannot feel otherwise than
pleased when voice comes over the
wire from his former aide de camp,
Generol Won der Marwitz saying: Gall
highest, I have a big army mobilized
at Treves for the purpose of starting
a counter-revolution for your males
tvs benefit" This was practically,
if not the exact words, which a ca
blegram from Amsterdam gave to the
press last night, and it goes to show
that the German militaristic party has
not yet been fully subdued and that
it still has a formidable army.

While potato prices have hoped up
10 cents per cwt, the market is partic-
ularly flat, but few warehousemen are
buying and not much stock is being
brought in by growers. Warehouses
are becoming congested and prices
paid at big market centers are not
sufficient to induce shipments. Hence
contract potatoes are all that are
leaving this point at this time, and
the quantity is small.

Some people attribute the influenza
to the long period Of damp weather
just past, while others say the germs
will flourish on frost. Then; again,
there are those who attribute the dis

remains that the malady is in our
midst, and the best. course to pursue
is to follow the doctors orders and
eradicate it as speedily as possible.

MAKE PET OF CAPTURED MULE
Allied Soldiers in France Play With
Animal That Once Was in the
Service of the Kaiser.

At the battle of LOos, bOmbers cap
cured shivering German mule, which
they dubbed Kaiser Bill, says Boys
Life, the Boy Scouts Magazine. But
the new Kaiser Bill was very intel
ligent and friendly toward his captOrs,
so the men thought that to be fair to
the mule they had better drop the
Kaiser and call him just plain Billy.
Billy earned his ratiOns by towing
about the brigade bomb-cart. When
off duty the men used to play with
him. He would answer to his name.
and come trotring over when his mas
ter called. Billy is still with the bri-
gade, and the men say that he lows
those bombs up to the dump for use
against the Germans with the greatest
relish.

FEED FROM FISH AND 0FFAL
Material Produced in Form Of Meal Be.
Iieved Valuable for Both
Swine and Cattle.

A factory has been started at Ymui-
den. at the entrance to the North sea
Canal, for transmitting the least de-
s;rable fish and fish offal into sat-
isfactory food for swine, writes Con-
sui Frank w. Mahin, Amsterdam,
Netherlands. This is considered OF
double importance-it feeds the swine
and also frees articles (maize. for ex-
ample) usually fed to swine, for other
purposes, even for human food.
Spoiled fish have been fed to swine,
hut with bad effect on the taste Of the
pork. The new factory, it is stated,
makes a "vischmeel" Qiterally, fish
meal) from the material 1t uses, which
product, analysis shows, contains 50
per cent albumen and IL per cent
fat. and also realizes an oil that after
suitable publication, could be used in
competition with cod-liver oil, or In
any case could be very useful as an In
dustrial oil. g4,.b
It is suggested, that besides feed
ing swine with this new product It be
tried with cattle, as a possible aid In
the serious situation which now ex,
lists In regard to feeding live stock.
The new, factory is considered OF
great Importance In scientific circles,
and hope is expressed that the governs
ment as well as the general public
will give it earnest support as a mat
ter Of national concern.

Building a Trench.

Trenches on the western front ap-
pear to the civilian eye which is fixed
upon photographs to be just ditch
backed by dugouts. In reality, details
a trench correspondent, an enormous
amount of work and scientific study is
required for the establishment of a
complete winter trench.
For every mile trench over 6,0OO,-
600 sand bags are needed. One man
can fill bag with earth and lift it to
place % times in night, when all the
work of repairing trenches is done.
1t would take battalion eight months
to do this work.
A mile Of trench and it's concom!-
tant protection demands $4,000 six-foot
stakes, $4,000 small pickets, 6,25O,0o0
sandbags, weighing 1000 tons In all /;
$4,000 feet of corrugated iron, 1,125, 900
feet of timber, etc..

Plunged Between Hands Outstretched

Through Gordon's mind there flashed
word of advice once given him by
a professional prizefighter: IF you
get in a rough house, don't wait for
the other fellow to hit first"
They were crouching for the attack.
In another moment they would &c upon
him. Almost with one motion lie
stopped, snatched up by the leg a
heavy stool, and sprang to the bed
upon which he had been sitting.
The four men closed with him in q
rush. They came at him low, their
heads protected by uplifted arms. His
memory brought to him a picture OF
the whitewashed gridiron of football
field, and in it he saw vision OF
safety.
The stool crashed down upor Big
Bill Macy's head. Gordon hurdlet the
csumpling figure, plunged between
hands outstretched to seize him, and
over the table went through the win
dow, taking the flimsy sash with him.

attack him. Whether it would run
to murder he could not tell. At the
best he would be hammered helpless.
But no evidence of this knowledge
appeared in his manner.

there is prejudice against me in this

voice.
He wondered as he spoke if he had
better try to fling himself through the
window sash. There might be re-

The miner at the table killed this
possibility by rising and standing
squarely in the road.

warned Macy.

he was unarmed. While his eyes
quested for weapon he played for
