WHY SHE LIKED HIM NOT

"All right" said the young woman still more archly. Big soldier shall do just exactly as he wants to! When you on leave you certainly should be humored! Is any thing happening up on the terrace? I can't see around that pillar and you seem so absorbed in that direction-"
 What? Oh, not" said the young officer hastily, withdrawing his gaze from the direction in question. "There-there isn't soul in sight It's beautiful day. isn't it? Still, it looks little like rain,"
 DO you think so?' she asked doubt fully. "Oh, by the way, mother is coming out later and we'd be delighted to have you join us at dinner to night, lieutenant"

Even though Prince Rupprecht IS resting while his army is running, the army will never be able to catch up with him.

THE EsTHoNlANs, PROTEST.

Ever since Germany has been ex- ercising its authority in Russia there has been a steadily increasing unrest amongst the people. This has been shown in various provinces such as he Ukraine. Siberia. around the White sea and now the republic oi Esthonia, and in each instance ii shows the people thoroughly aroused over existing conditions brought about primarily through the manner ir which Russia was sold out to the cen. tral powers and subsequently, by the tyrannical manner in which Germany has been applying the yoke.
 It is readily recalled that during tho days when the Brest-Litovsk treaty was under consideration that Ger. many was holding out the alluring bai of self determination. The province. were to be allowed to decide upon tn eaxm of government which they de

GERMAN FEAR OF INVASION.

Decidedly interesting is the state ment made by German prisoners to the effect that while Germany would be defended to the last man, "if that did not suffice an immediate peace must avert an invasion"
 This cannot mean other than that inasmuch as the German government is thoroughly cognizant of the de- struction, havoc and terror wrought .n Belgian and France during the past four years as the result of the disregard for the rules of warfare that there would be no thought of permitting such a condition to pre- vail on German territory What has been done to those countries, to say nothing of Serbia, Poland, Rumania, Montenegro and northern Italy, could not for a moment be tolerated with in the kaiser's domain. Somehow or other they figure that Germany Is toe good to go through the experience which others have been forced to stand.
 This has been brought home to the people under rule of the Hun by the airplane raids which have been car ried out in retaliation for the prac- tices of the air and sea raiders They recognize that they have operated without restrictions in their efforts to win the war. Treaties and rules have been thrown to the wind in the ex- pectation that there would be nc chance of such being felt in Germany but with the tide of battle flowing the other way Germany expects the allies to be ready to protect and preserve the nation which respects none but it. self. Germany doesn't know the meaning of mercy when any other na. tion is involved. it simply recognizes it when sought Nn behalf of itself.

EFFECT ON THE NEurRALs.

That the success of the allied forces Is having its effect upon the neutrals of Europe is indicated in various ways. The attitude which some of them are taking indicates that while they are not ready to depart from neutrality they are realizing the sig nificance of the wide swing of the pendulum toward the side of the en- tente nations
 This is shown by the recognition given by Sweden to the blockade of the central powers. Bye the under standing which has been arranged with the United States this northern neutral acknowledges the accomplish ment of the allies in bottling up Ger many. The result is that henceforth there will be an exchange of com- n1oGities between Sweden and the al- lies with the thorough understanding that none of them or their equivalent will find their way into the hands Of the enemy. This country has moved quickly to carry out it's part of the agreement by turning over 10000 tons of provisiTas to Sweden which had been destined to Russia and held ir Sweden to protect it from the enemy and those who were playing into its hands.
 The same thing is displayed in the representations which have been re. gently made to Berlin by the Spanisl authorities regarding the taking O interned German vessels for thos, which are sunk by submarines, ant by the successful outcome of the ne. gotiations which have been going oI between the United States and Spai1 relative to the large credit for tn, purpose of exchanging supplies Ger many of course protests because i does not like the trend of affairs bu it cannot help being realized tha Germany has contributed the greates help to this very end

nounced in an official communication
that he had been able to make a great

This result Is obtained by method
which is much simpler than all the
serum methods experimental with dur
ing recent years. namely injections of
sugar to modify the bronchial secre-

Instead of attacking the bacillus
itself, whose conditions Of life. repro

modify the surroundings In which the

existence impossible. His paper Is
entitled "Action cf Sugars on the

of careful researches made since 1907.

Under this title Daniel A. Polling
tells In the outlook Of his investiga-
tions at the front aud his conclusions.
We quote:
II believe tina. I not only know
what the American soldier does In
France, but that I begin to know
what he is.
He Is representative American.
And he is living on a moral plane
which is above the moral plane of
civilian life at home. Our leaders
in France have not conquered the
vices society has battled against from
the first organized beginnings OF civill-
zation; but II the American expedi-
tlonary force Is not setting an exam
pie in moral idealism to American
civilian life. then l have walked
through France with my eyes closed
and my ears stopped.
when you see one soldier under
the influence of liquor, do not con-
clude that the army is drunk. 1t Is
at least suggestive that In three
associated with tens of thousands Of
soldiers, 1 did not see single SOL
dier, officer or private, under the In
fiuence of liquor In the streets.
II found the American In uniform
building up about himself wall Of
protection in the very attitude he Is
assuming toward the moral excesses
practiced by the few. He Is resent
ing the indulgence that causes his
country's civilization to be misjudged !;
he Is discipllng his comrade who by
taking improper and forbidden liber-
ties endangers the freedom Of others !;
he shows a distinct pride In the fact
that American physical and moral
standards are high. / believe that for
every man in the army that Is moral-
ly destroyed, at least five men are
morally born again. We have spent
much time In discussing the vast task
OF keeping our men fit to return to
us when the war Is over, and 1t Is
time well spent. But there Is another
matter quite as important-America
must be made and kept fit for these
men to return to.
"The American soldier has no rum

control OF American authorities liquor

that local authorities said could not
be laid until the frost was out Of the
ground. The main was finished before
the argument was terminated.
LESS than three hours after a re-
cent raid hot coffee was served to the
men, even to the last observation post.
The genius of the American army In
furnishing itself nonalcohollc drinks
has astonlshed the French and elected
their praise.
General Pershing and those who
are In authority with him in France

censure. but a vote Of confidence with
the assurance Of our cooperation and
