And now, as If that were not enough
there was talk of an alliance with
Karnia, an alliance which, carried
through, would destroy the hope of a
republic.
The countess stared.
"The price of the alliance, madame
is the Princess Hedwig in marriage.
The committee, which knows all
things, believes that you have reason
to dislike this marriage"
Save that she clutched her cloak
more closely, the countess made no
move. But there was soft stir among
the figures. Perhaps, after all, the
committee as whole did not know all
things.
'To prevent this alliance, madame,
Is our first aim. There are others to
follow. But"-he bent forward-"the
king will not live many days. 1t is
our hope that that marriage will not
occur before his DEATH"
By this time Olga Loschek knew
very we'll where she stood. The COM
mittee was propitiatory. She was not

They were, in measure, putting their
case.
"King Karl has broken faith before.
He will not support Livonia until he
has received his price. He Is de-
termined on the marriage"
"a marriage of expediency," said
the countess impatiently.
The speaker for the committee
shrugged his shoulders. Perhaps" he
replied. although there are those OF
expediency, Karl gives more than he
receives.
1.-THE matter lies thus, madame. The
chancellor is now in Karnia. Doubt
less he will return with the agreement
signed. We shall learn that in day
or so. We do not approve Of this
alliance for various reasons, and we
intend TO take steps to prevent It
The paper itself is nothing. But
plainly, countess, we need a friend in
fdence of the royal family"
"And for such friendship, am to
secure safety"
"Yes, madame. But that is not all.
Let me tell you briefly how things
stand with us. We have, supporting
US, certain bodies, workingmen's
guilds, a part of the student body, not
so much of the army as we would
wish. Dissatisfied folk, madame, who
would exchange the emblem of
tyranny for freedom. On the an
nouncement of the kings death, in
every part Of the kingdom will go up
the cry of liberty. But the movement
must start here. The city must rise
against the thu one. And against that
there are two obstacles" He paused.
The clock tucked, and water dripped
into the tin pail with metallic splashes.
"The first is this marriage. The Sec
ond-is the Crown Prince Ferdinand
William Otto"
The countess recoiled. "No1

The girl was telling the truth. She
was too stupid to lie. Then the COM

Kaiser Believes Almighty Direct
 ed COnquering Of Russia

Amsterdam, March S.--In reply to director of the North German Lloyd line, Emperor William has sent this telegram:
 'Tno German sword is our best protection. With Gods help it also will bring Us peace in the west, and indeed the peace which, after much distress and many troubles, tho Ger man ,peoplc need for a happy future"
 The emperor detailed his gratitude at greater length in message to the vice president of the Rcicnstag say ing:
 The complete victory fills me with gratitude. It permits Us to live again one of those great moments in which we can revercntly admire Gods hand in history. What turns events have taken is by the disposition of God.
 ''The heroic deeds of our troops, the successes of our great generals and the wonderful achicvem ents of those at homo have their roots in moral forces and in the categorical imperative which has been inculcated in our people in a hard school They also will carry us through in decls- i've and final battle to victory. Tn the great tasks upon which the conclusion of peace reconstruction and the healing of the wounds of war will set us, I desire my people to rely on old historical experience that unity means strength. May our people face the new time and it's tasks with 8 I strong sense of the realities, with un- bending faith in itself and it's mis- sion, and with strong, patriotic and proud joy in the faith erland bound to me and my house by old and proved bonds of mutual trust. ''I do not doubt that a rich, strong and happy people will arise out of the storms and sacrifices of this time"

realize that the demands are serious
and will require arduous labor. We
do not wish to display any excellence.
We only aim to stand alongside the
other church organizations to assist
in the elimination of sin, and the
exaltation of righteousness. We feel
that it is pity for people to con-
tinue in sin when the wages of sin
is death. We fell that there is no
good excuse for people to indulge in
sin. Christligeness is righteousness,
and we prefer to be like Him.
