SERVING TWO MASTERS.

The League Leader is much exercised now to

they might have first appeared by their early
utterances. When the first liberty loan was launched
there was no question about them being against it
and opposing it, but they found they were up
against astone WALL that the great mass Of farmers
were not dsloyal and would not stand for the league
fighting on the German side. While many of the
league farmers have now been convinced that the

Salmon and Acids.

Investigators say that salmon find
their way into rivers by means Of the
presence of acids or allSalis, which, of
course, varies in different streams.
Even when they are q long way out at
sea, says the Youths Companion, they
can discover the trace that. will lead
them to the bay and the Stream that
they seek. It thus becomes unneces-
sary to "ppeal to a ''homing instinct"
to explain the return of certain salmon
to certain rivers or the running Of
herring to certain localities.

quoted in a dispatch from Switzerland
as saying:
'In the minds of the German peo-
pie responsibility for the present stu

peror. Co..

man military monarch. He must feel
that he can no longer be what he has
thought himself since the first day of
his reign-an instrument sent by God,
and. above all, the chief Of the most
brilliant and best organized army.
I'm 1888 the emperor said he would
sacrifice eighteen army corps and a.
100000 Inhabitants rather than give
up q single stone conquered by his
father. Two million dead are more
than eighteen army corps.
'The emperor always has asked
great patriotic sacrifices from his sub
jects. 1t now is for him to show his
spirit of sacrifice and to withdraw. He
would thus give a brilliant example
of his understanding of the times and
would permit the German people TO
obtain pstter peace terms. -
