the people of Milton-all of them-have
, plenty to think about, if not, actually
| to employ their time. There are this
morning, according to a census we have
; taken, six cases of sickness in town, and
I enough more in the surrounding country
, to keep our medicinal men busy. There
are not all cases ofinfuenza, but influenza
has been the primary causes of most of
these cases. And our physicians see no
signs at present of an abatement of the
disease II does appear that the Devil
and the Kaiser, or rather the Kaiser and
the Devil, for the Kaiser now has super
iority over his 'pard, have the ruling
over the world We are inclined to be-
lieve the devil rules the wick edness of
( this world. such as loathsome disease
and all of the noncomitants pertaining
thereto, I'd the Kaiser has been ruling
Central Europe and has had aspiration
for world dominion. But we believe the
j Kaiser's grip is broken. With all of the
I ills we are afflicted with, there is cause
for rejoicing for the steady advance the
allies are making on the battle front.
They are driving the enemy before them,
and when Belgium aud Flanders have
been cleansed of the dastardly Hun,
then may we hope for a basis for peace.
And from the present outlook the time
is not far distant when right and human
ity shall assert themselves and righteous
ness reign over the earth. Peace will
come. All of US desire it. But wouldn't
it be be a pretty affair for us TO make
peace when we have the enemy on the
run, or to agree to an armistice while
the enemy's armies are on allied soil
Keep the Hun moving, and when the
Rhine shall have been crossed on the
homeward run, keep after him until he
begs for peace instead of assuming to
dictate it. Keep the Hun moving. The
faster the better for all liberty loving
people And some say there must be no
peace except with the complete downfall
of the House Of Hohenzoilcru, and WY
not with the House of Hapsburg also?
For Austria is equally guilty with Ger

truth as ancient as her history In the

occasion Napoleon was discussing with
his wife the advisability of a divorce and
his marriage with Marie Louisa, the Arch
