BIC VICTORY FOR
PAN-GERMAN|SM
Resignation of KuehImann AS
Foreign Minister So Viewed
in Allied Countries.

LONDON, July 1o:-Resignation OF
Foreign Minister Kuehlmann, IL mail
ly confirmed, Is interpreted as a pam
German victory. This view Is
strengthened by the report that Ad-
miral Won Hintze will succeed Kuehl-
mann. as he not only Is close to the
Kaiser, but Is a friend n supporter
Of Admiral Won Tirpitz and Admiral
Schroeder. leaders of the Belgian an
nexationists. However, 1t is constd-
BRED here hat a pan-German foreign
minister is not so dangerous to the
Allies as one Of the Kuehlmann type,
who masked Germany's plan of con-
quest under continual trickery peace
offensives. giving allied p~aciists de
batting material.
London newspapers devote constd-
cradle space to discussion of Won
Hintze's history. He Is generally
characterized as the most notorious
master of intrigue in the German dip
lomatic service. Won Hintze's activity
in China first brought him interna-
tional notoriety. His behavior there
was 50 scandalous that he was re-
called and sent to Mexico.
He was German minister in the lat
ter country during Huerta's regime.
He was implicated in the plot to fur
nlsh Huerta with German arms dur
ing the United States embargo. When
the war broke put Won Hintze re-
turned to Germany disguised as ar
Englishman travelling through the
United States, England and Holland.
He was sent to China as minister
again In 1915, travelling through the
United States once more.

OF WHAT USE is THE RAT7
Place Of the Predatory Rodent In Bal
ance Of Nature Perhaps In
Remote Past.

One Of the geological details connect
ed with the rat Is Its failure to GUS
tain any discoverable relation with
the balance Of nature. The balance
Of nature seems remarkably ven all
cyer the world, for no kind of life can
become wholly extinct without affect
ing prejudicialiy the general environ
ment.
The rat seems the solitary excep-
ton to the general experience that In
reference with the fauna Of an envi-
ronment invites disaster through an
upset Of the balance of nature. says q
writer in Current Opinion. Other
forms of life, vegetable or animal. up
set II by their absence. 1t was thought
until recently that a peculiar species
OF flea could thrive upon the rat alone,
| but some doubt Is thrown upon this
idea by reports Of plague investiga-
tors.
There Is, however, another view OF
the connection Of the rat with the
balance Of nature. according to the
Paris Revue Scientifque. The ro-
dent has achieved its task. performed
its duty. The work was accomplished
In past centuries. probably In Asia.
Rats win attack very large organisms.
Even the elephant Is not respected. II
Is widely known that certain varieties
of Asiatic elephants have a great dread
Of rats. Gases ara recorded in which
a huge elephant has succumbed to
wounds made In its feet by rats. The
rats gnaw the hoofs of horses when 1t
can get at them. II would exterminate
the pig II 1t could ind q neutral In
man.
In brief, all the evidence suggests
that there has ragged in the past a
! great warfare between the rat and
/ certain gigantic forms Of life. The
brown rat seems to have had much TO
do with the extinction OF certain
great beasts In Asia. Perhaps the
mastodon was routed by the rat. In
any event, the rat may have played a
glorious part In eliminating the bulky
monsters that In time past kept man
down numerically Just as today the
robin plays a glorious part in elm
mating from the soil the pests that
otherwise would keep the crops
down.
The very voracIty Of the rat must
have been Of great geological impor-
tance when Il had to attack. perhaps
a herd OF mastodons. The rats trav.

WASHINGTON, July 1o-Tt may
be quite an event in the young life
of a private to be assigned to guard
duty around the White House.
But it has its disadvantages.
There's this saluting thing.
When an officer passes a soldier on
guard, the private must stop In his
tracks, face his superior. and bring his
rife to present arms"
OF course that isn't hard work-just
now and then.
But when officers from the neigh
boring war department pass almost in
a steady stream. 1t keeps said private
busy saluting.
So. guarding the President may be
some honor. but It's also some work.

STACKER RECORDS
FOR BOYS OVER THERE

The window of the Wentworth
Music Co. has been cleaned out and
already a number of records which
have been donated by Waterville
people are seen IN the window on the
stand which was placed there for
the purpose of holding the records.
which will be sent to the boys who
are over there. This is one plea that
the boys are making and Waterville
people are asked to donate to the
cause. The records will be sent to
headquarters and from there will be
sent to the different environments
where they will be used for the en-
tertainment of the boys. People
are asked to leave their records at
the Wentworth Music Store, and
this does not mean that the records
are to be old and broken but in
good condition. Any record which
may be tiresome to the household
will greatly help to entertain the
boys who daily crave for entertain
ment.
