Rose TO Power n TrIckery and l4aD

ouuhly interruptions.

Germany up to 70 years ago was
not in existence as q nation, but was
. federation of small principalities.
Prussia, the nucleus Of the German
empire, was always quarrelsome,
boastful Of her military supremacy,
crafty, cruel and Of doubtful diplo-
matte integrity. The South German
principalities, although more or less
Prussian in blood, yet were indie
pendent, and constantly fighting
with each other, jealous and striving
for power one over the other. The
famous federation Of German states
which was believed at first by the
people to be a true democratic fed
GRAFTON, was fathered by Bismarck,
the Iron chancellor. The trickery
by which many Of the German states
were hoodwinked into this alliance
was the direct cause Of the German
revolution, which was nipped in the
bud through the already marvellous
perfection of the German militaris-
tic machine, and in 184S some $780,
600 German revolutionists emigrat-
ed to the United States with the
price of Prussia's disapproyal on
their heads. Since that time Ger
many has been recognized as a for
midable military power by all the
world. The only war she had waged
as federated empire up to the pres
ent one was the Franco russian war
in 1870 in which Germany was
markedly the victor. It was settled
by indemnity and the annexation Of
Alsace-Lorraine.

THE RAINBOW.

It is good thing that there is no
difference between salutes. # there
were-if a general staff officer were
entitled to one kind and an artillery
officer to another-we should be due
for a long course of study in the new
overseas cap piping system.
Asst is, all we have got to do is to
remember that if the piping is dark
blue, gray, yellow with scarlet
threads, anything like that, the
wearer is entitled to salute.
incidentally, in all this new color
scheme, we mourn the absence of

IN STYLE TRULY DEMOCRATIC
How the President and Mrs. Wilson
Took Their Outing OIL Those .
Gasless Sundays.

On gasless Sundays, when the
president and Mrs. Wilson went
driving, Washington witnessed an
unusual spectacle. Ordinarily the
president drives in an automobile,
followed by two motorcycle police
men and another automobile filled
with secret service men. On gasless
Sunday the procession was made up
as follows:
/ The president and Mrs. Wilson
in an open landau, behind a fine
team Of horses.
The two motorcycle men riding
bicycles.
A handsome electric brougham,
containing two secret service men.
y An old-fashioned "sea-going"
hack, drawn by pair Of veteran liv-
cry stable nags, which contained the
remainder Of the secret service men.
When they climbed hills, the
horses attached to the presidential
carriage walked at dignifed pace,
while the two policemen on bicycles
hitched behind on either side to save
themselves the labor Of pedaling. It
is described as motley and demo-
cratic cavalcade, particularly that
part Of it which brought up the rear.

Sudie defended the picnic with
like far-reaching voice:
"You couldn't expect to buy the
same plate for no 10 cents down
yonder, after the managers had to
pay their way up here and pick it
out"
"Shuh, the church paid their way
up. One thing, you don't catch me
paying no thribble price for any
plate again-not if l live to be a
hundred. Next time | go to church

'1'M NO BABY KILLER, SONNY"
Big Irish Corporal Speaks His Mind 70
. Young 5oche Prisoner Whom
He Had Taken.

Mike, big Irish corporal, had
just captured = German in a shell
hole.
"Come avn out o that" shouted
Mike. I stepped up in time to see
his prisoner, a wax-pale boy who aft
erward said he was sixteen and who
didn't look fourteen, says Hamilton
M. Wright in the Forum. He was
very weak, his helmet almost rested
on his narrow shoulders, his tunic
was SO big that the sleeves were
rolled back eight inches, his trousers
were SO long that they bagged like 4
zouave's boomers. The poor kid
commenced to cry pitifully, like !
girl.
Niver you moind, sonny = said
Mike, 'I'm no baby killer. Here let
me help you," and big Mike dropped
his gun, slid down into the hole
where the boy might have turned his
own gun on unarmed Mike, and
brought him up.
"Stop yer cryin', sonny. Nobody'n
hurt you. There'll be eats for ye an
. good rest back there. But" and
Mike paused and glared- eff I could
git me paws on tn big dirty fat slob
of Prueshun what sent baby the
likes OF youse out here I'd tie him to
that post an feed him lighted hand
grenades till there was nawthin' left
Of him. That's tn guy I'm after, /"
and Mike picked up his gun and
rushed on into the thick Of the ad-
vance.
