 I venture this broad statement:
 Even the American family which has sent sons across the sea cannot ap. preciate this war as must the family of France. of England. of Italy, of Bell gium, which has not. Even these American families which have lost sons (and heavens knows I would not slur their agony or belittle their great sacrifice for holiness) have suffered less than those who have lost sons among our allies, because in the wide, unthreatened states of free America the glory of the soldiers martyrdom remains unusual and dramatic, retains its claims on reverence. In Europe it does not. Everybody has lost some- onel Remember this if you become Impatient at some European delegates remarks at the peace conference
 Think of these things while the con- ference is sitting, while some mighty orator is rolling out his words. words, words; while the diplomats are quar- reling, while the wordy arguments are spinning from the cables, while this group and the other are trying through publicity to establish their own claims by hook, by crook, by strategy.

Montreal, Feb. 15.-The charred

ruins of the Grey nunnery, which was

more perished, and the toll of death
may reach 100. All the inmates ex-

Heart of Pan-German Conspiracy
of World Conquest
Whole Scheme of Prussian Dominion Based Upon Absolute
Control Of Middle Europe From Hamburg to Bagdad

The pan-German plot to dominate
the world has been worked out with
characteristic German thoroughness.
There is no land on the globe in which
the web of intrigue has not been WOW
en-. Every country has its place in the
scheme and is expected to fall into its
place at the proper time and In the
proper way. Bribery at one point. fiat
terry at another, the dexterous use of
innocent visionaries, the careful en-
couragement of dissensions every
where, the industrious dissemination of
falsehoods tending to embroil nations
with one another, class with class, and
all to weaken and demoralize any peo-
pies who might by union become
strong-this sort of thing for years has
been going on in the hands of German
agents everywhere.
The progress of the world implies
the growth of good will and mutual
helpfulness wherever men make their

discordant elements of life with tire

among southern negroes; dislike of

Hamburg to Basdad.
But the basis of the whole scheme of
Prussian world dominion is absolute
German control from Hamburg to Bag
dad. This implies fortress in the
center of Europe, from which light
ming blows can be struck in all direc-
tions. 1t implies an intrenched posi-
ton on the North sea, on the Baltic,
on the Adriatic, on the Aegean, on the
iterranean and the Persian gulf. 1t
implies domination, political, military
and economic, of the Balkan peninsula,
with all its rich lands, of the Suez
canal and Egypt. 1t means the domi-
nation of Asia and Africa. 1t means
as Napoleon said, Constantinople, the
empire of the world. There might be
the simulacrum Of an alliance with
Turkey and Bulgaria, Serbia, and
Greece. But, throughout all, Germany
would everywhere absolutely control,
for German political power and for the
development of German capital and
German industry. For all practical
purposes 1t would be German empire
from the Baltic to the Persian gulf.
But in order to carry out this vast
scheme, grandiose as 1t may appear,
but quite real and definite, as it is In
point of fact, the first condition, with
out which all would fall to pieces like
house Of cards, is to secure complete
control by Germany over the dual mon
archy, Austria-Hungary. The alliance
at present and for so many years In
force must be exchanged for much
closer relation, one which, whatever its
form, will mean that Germany has the
final voice in every essential question.
AS in the German empire under the
guise of federation it is in the last
analysis Prussia which determines all
essential policies, so in the new Mittel
Europa, 1t will be Germany, in other
words Prussia, which will really gov
ern. Whatever the outward semblance
Of things, in fact Austria and Hungary
will then cease to be independent. The
German kaiser will make the Prussian
will supreme throughout. The reasons
for this German middle Europe plan
will appear later.

Western Newspaper Union News Service.

Amsterdam, Feb. 15.-The confer
ence of military leaders at German
headquarters is discussing energetic
military measures toward Russia the
Stuttgart Neues Tageblatt declares, in
copies received here.
Judging from the latest indications
in the German press, much dissatisfac-
tion and suspicion has been aroused
by the latest move of Foreign Minis
ter Trotzky. Important political and
military leaders are said to be con-
ferring busily to find the best solution
to the puzzle.
All German newspapers note the
fact that three hours after a message
was sent out announcing the issuance
of demobolization order to the Rus
sian army, another Russian message
was issued ordering that circulation
of this communication be stopped. 1t
is suggested that this indicates that
the Bolshevik government no longer
thinks of adhering to the declaration
of Foreign Minister Trotzky.
The Zeitung and Mittag goes so far
rs TO say IUdl plOOlo llietb
Trotzky's promise of a Russian de-
mobilization is a sham maneuver 1t
declares that reliable reports repre-
sent the Bolsheviki as energetically
forming Red Guard army out of the
remnants of the Russian army, in the
hope of raising 100000 men to es-
tablish Bolshevik power in the border
states.
The line of demarcation along the
eastern front must be maintained, in
consequence of the Russians refusal
to sign a peace treaty, a Vienna dis
patch to the Lokal Anzeiger of Berlin
says. Turkish troops will take pos

hitherto has been occupied by Rus

Food Hint for Today

The principal factor in keeping on
ions over winter is having them well
dried when they are stored, and keep
ing them dry and cool.
Onions are harvested in August ard
September. when the tops are dead and
shriyeled and the outer skins of the
bulb dry. The bulbs should be allow
ed to cure on the ground after pull
ing occasionally, until the tops are
dry enough to rattle when the bulbs
are handled. Handling of bulbs should
be careful enough to prevent bruis-
ing.
Outdoor curing is best and takes
the least time. but if the weather is
not favorable for this, onions may be
cured in a dry well-ventilated room.
After curing, the tops should be
cut off about one inch from the bulb.
Closer cutting encourages sprouting.
All bulbs which have soft or thick
necks should be discarded.
Crates or bags are best for stOr-
age, because these permit circulation
of air. A temperature slightly above
freezing point is best for onions.
