PUBLISH DECREE TO
SHOW KAISER is OUT

In order to end the discussion as
10 whether William Ilohenzollern
has really abdicated as German em-
peror, it is understood the German
government intends to publish his
decree of abdication. This consists
of an attempt to justify the war on
the ground of Germany's isolation.
The abdication decree, according
to the correspondent at Zurich of
Information, concludes with these
words:
"To avoid difficulties and to put an
end to the mourning and suffering
of my people | renounce the throne
and leave my faithful subjects free
to choose a government which seem
to them most compatible with honor
and TO their interest.

THE TAKING OF LILLE.

1t was a red-lctter day when soldiers
of the Allies marched into Lille. Ac-
cording To dispatch from London, this
good fortune fell to the British, who had
fairly earned it, After the capture of
Menin and Courtrai, particularly the
latter, which was a railway junction Of
immense Importance to the Germans
because the trunk line running through
it connected Lille with Brugcs and Ghent,
the great French industrial city could not
be held. The Germans had been in pos
session of Lille for about four years and
two months, and they had known how to
make Use of it's extraordinarily valuable
industrial equipment The loss of the city
is disaster to them, anticipating their
expulsion from Northeastern France and
the greater part Of Belgium,
Lille is sometimes spoken OF as
fortified city. II was not so re arded when
four divisions of German cavalry and Some
batteries of horse artillery, supported by
the German Second Corps, swooped dwon
| upon il in the last days of August, 1911.
The French and British armies were then
in full retreat before overwhelming forces.
1t was written of Lille at the time: "The
forts had been disarmed and the neglected
| earthworks had long been overgrown
| with weeds, although IN the military
| biographies it was still classed as an
intrenched camp of tho first rank The
| French made no attempt TO hold Lille.

| towns of Roubaix and Turcong, IT passed
| into the possession Of the enemy, prizc
so rich that the REIMBURSEMENT was

| reasons
British headquarters reports that the
| Germans on leaving Lille did not set flre
To the buildings nor cause any explosions.
| Nav IL not be supposed that the unusual
consideration shown 10 Lille was dictated

struction of Lille would probably have

prosperity, but it is mp to the work
slackers to prove by their actions That 1T
is not so.
The estimate that efficiency in war work
is deprecated IA per cent. by failure OF
men to work full time who are wholly
able to do so does not seem unreasonable
To the observer. II high wages undermine
the patriotism of these workers they do
not deserve them.
Those who are working only half time
because they can satisfy their simple
wants with half their fulitime wages are
missing the point Of the call for the whole

vision for the comfort, convenience and en-
