WOULD INVOLVE ENTENTE.
Holland Suspects Germany Of Ex-
plotting Minor Demon
StratiOn.

London, Jan. 31-Among the
views expressed in special dispatches
from Holland in regard to the Ger
man strike is one that the German
government is exploiting what hard
ly amounts to more than a peace
demonstration with the object, if pos
sible, of producing a more serious
movement in allied countries, where
it apparently believes the govern
ments are less able than itself to
control such movements
Another correspondent gathers
from the German press that the Ger
man government intends to make the
strike movement pretext for break
ing OF the Brest-Litovsk negotia-
lions.
The semi-offlcial Norddeutsche ALL
gemeine Zeitung, commenting on the
polilicat aims of the strike commit
tee, warns the strikers they will
achieve nothing by their action in
reference to he negotiations at Brest-
Litovsk. Instead Of furthering the
peace movement, it says, the strikes
will prejudice the negotiations and
encourage her enemies to resist Ger
many's just claims. The newspapers
add that the government expects the
strikers, as the result of calm con-
sideration, to realize the foolishness
of their attitude and resume work

 meet one of the charter members every little bit.
 The order was founded by Jeremi- ah.
 Like other orders founded by good man for a good purpose, the original idea has been lost sight of.
 Jeremiah walled among lot of bone-head heather who needed. the information.
 The modern member of the order thinks the only idea was to howl.
 The first thing this modern mem ber does when he gets you into a cor ner is to dig up certain chapter in Revelations and prove % to you, be- yond peradventure and way-stations, that the world Is coming to an end immediately, R not between now and then.
 Now understand me, I'm not mak- ing fun of the scriptures. I've been brought up too well and too far to be such silly awss, don't you know. But I am herein expressing my resent ment against the fellow who goes around telling me about things like that. What can I do? can't stop it if it is coming to an end, can [? I am liv- ing the best know how, doing every thing I can for others after-and even before have provided for those of my own household. I am trying my blamedest to be blameless and live normally as the author of us all in- tended-not succeeding, mind you! Just trying-and what good does 1t do to come around and try to throw a scare into me and rattle me so that step on my feet and do other absurd ithings2
 They always take that 666 thing and prove anything you please or they please. At the beginning of the war everybody had figured out that the Kaiser was meant by that number proved 1t! Now the vaticanphobes claim 1t is the Pope-I bet anybody who had a spite at anybody else could prove that the 6s6 referred directly to the object of their dislike! I bet a far mer who had had line-fence trouble with another farmer could take that other farmers tax-receipt and his say ings account and the price he got for
 
 bust measure, and figure out the 666 affairs as applying right spang to his easel Sure!
 | I believe in the lessons the Bible intends to teach, but I object to these amateur prophets who don't carry their credentials. I believe in doing just the best can and trusting every thing to the One who sees fit to keer me in the dark as to the future while I'm doing it.
 The Lord can talk a lot plainer to u: than these signs indicate, if He want: to.
 Abas the fellow with the scare tha- can't do a decent human any good My family goes right on needing foot and clothes and schooling, and I can supply these things without money and can't get money without work ing, and I can't work if I'm scared So I won't be scared.
