materialism. No ponsibility can
attach to the kaiser, for he wanted
peace. The responsibility IS all on
the people and Der ate SDeutscher
Gott", who sent the war5to save the
people from themselves. j..
Here is the keynote of the sermons
the kaiser will preach when he deems
the time opportune to speak out him
self. Meanwhile Won Michaelis and
others will try to attune the public
mind to@2the new song. The kaiser
will have greater use for his "Gott"
than ever before and will not fail to
load all the blame upon him. Some
pagan tribes make similar use of
their deities when things go wrong;
they thrash the gods who have failed
to do their duty. Figuratively speak
ing, that is what the kaiser is plan
ming to do with DER alte Deutscher
Gott" when Billy shall see his "trusty
sword' lying broken before his feet.
There is also pathetic note in the
speech of the ex-chancellor. It must
have been heavy task for man in
his position to- face a gathering of
countrymen with such an .unmistak-
able confession of inevitable defeat.
And it must have been still harder
for his listeners to be told that in
stead Of a life in ease, plenty and
luxury, which had been promised
them, 1.-THE simple domestic life will
be our duty after the war;" But in
exhorting his countrymen to mot
fear peace DISTRESS" the chancellor
eloquently appealed to- the best; in
the German people, who have, he said,
'"shown themselves strongest and
most splendid when they were in
Distress" That is true, even of the
Prussians. The crimes of the scoun-
drel and hydral and hypocrite, Fred
erick called the Great, are relieved in
measure by the heroic suffering of
the people who followed him in VIC
tory and defeat; and no people could
be more splendid than the common
people of Prussia after jena If the
defeat in this war shall resurrect
these elemental heroic virtues the
German people will gain something of
far greater value than any victory,
however sweeping; for then there is
hope that the soul of the nation,
which has been lost in detestable
cupidity and unspeakable crimes,
may yet be saved.-From Minnesota
in the War.

his Colt was accorded the position
Of honor above the German ruler.
But as the kaiser grew older and
began to dream about German welt
macht and to fondle his shining
German sword, he rose above his
deity, and "me und .Gott" came to
express his views of the proper re-
lations between them. And as long
as he was winning victories or be-
heved in ultimate victory, he was
himself the All Highest, the all
powerful war lord bestriding the
world as an invincible Colossuc, with
Scott" playing mainly the role of a
venerable friend, approving and ad-
miring his valorous deeds.
But now the dark forebodings of
defeat have begunto fill his mind,
der alte Deutscher Colt" is being
put in training for a different part.
The former chancellor of day, DR..
Won Michaelis, has been selected to
act as first advance agent of a new
doctrine. Here is what Won Mich
aelus said in a. public speech at Ben
neckstein in the Hartz mountains a
few days ago:
1--WE must look the facts in the
face that we shall take war distress
with us into peace time We must
inwardly prepare ourselves to bear
peace distress without murmuring.
The scarcity and high prices will re-

forth in documentary revelations
since published BY German business
men Of the highest standing, them
selves victims of the rosy promises
Of a new era Of unexampled Ger
man expansion and prosperity. The
whole people fell a victim to
these temptations, which also ex-
plain the support of the war BY
the bulk of the German Socialists.
The signal to march was hailed
with delirious enthusiasm all over
Germany; for the war was to make
everybody rich and happy. ~ II
Won Michaelis holds up before the
eyes of the people this picture of
public sentiment of four years. ago.
He knows that they must admit to
themselves that the charge is true
that impened by irresistible cupidity
they willed the war with all their
might. The kaiser wanted peace, he
tells them again; but they wanted
war because Mammon ruled their
hearts. Now that the expected rich
es vanish in the bottomless abyss of
coming defeat, they are to seek con-
ISOLATION i'm the fact that their trials,
present and to come, have been sent
by God to save them from money
worship. They have to take and bear
these trials as punishment of their
own sins and as means of saving
them from sinking completely into

A FEAR OF The FUTURE

German "Gott''' to Rule

Indications are that the kaiser is
preparing for another change-of his
own making-in the relations between
himself "unt Gott". As everybody
knows by this time his ''Gott" is not
the God in whom Christians in gener-
al believe. His God is "der alte
Deutscher Gott" sort of tribal
deity who looks after the Germans
and nobody else.

war; it is left to the people to put
two and two together and draw the
conclusion. But he is very careful to
absolve the kaiser from any guilt
and to put all the blame upon the
people and God. The kaiser wanted
peace to the last moment OF
course, this lie has got to be repeated
by representative Germans who speak
to Germans by imperial sanction or
order. But he knows that his point
as to materialism is bound to strike
home: Now that defeat is written in
the stars so plainly that even Ger
man nailitarists can read it, the time
is come to remind the German people
that they went into this war as a
gigantic business venture. When war
had been resolved by the kaiser and
his military clique the support Of
bankers, manufacturers and other
business men and the rank and file
of labor was readily won by glowing
promises that the war was to make
all rich. New lands to be conquered
for settlement by German agricul-
turists and development by German
capital and labor, new markets for
German fabrics and new and great
opportunities for German enterprise
in all quarters of the globe such
were the enchanting pictures held up
before the German people by the
kaiser and his henchmen. How effec-
tive they were is seducing the pop

Eve must realize that we are also

This is a truly remarkable speech
to be made by man who is closetto
the kaiser and has been a strong be-
lever in the pan German will to con-
quest and world power. There is no
ring of victory here; nothing but the
sad tolling Of coming, or continued,

Menace Of Group.

Group is a spasm Of the larynx
which comes on very suddenly. Often
In the middle of the night the baby
will awaken with a harsh cough, and
rough and difficult breathing. Some
times the face may become blue. The
child should be made to vomit in order
to relax the spasm. This is best
brought about by giving teaspoonfua
of strip of ipecac. The inhalation on
steam will help to shorten the attack.
A croup-kettle is the best means OK
producing the steam. A tent made or
sheet will aid in concentrating the
moist steam. It is better to use a
teaspoonful Of compound tincture OF
benzoin to each pint CT water used In
the croup-kettle than steam alone.
Mustard plasters, one part mustard
and five parts -four, ss well as warm
congresses over the chest, are OK

easy, he made q round of the palace,
and of the guards. Before he returned
to his vigil outside the kings bed
room, he stood for a moment by win
dow and looked out. Evidently
rumors of the kings condition had
crept out, in spite Of their caution.
The place, kept free Of murmurs by
the police, was filling slowly with peo-
pie; people who took up positions on
benches, under the trees, and even sit
ting on the curb of the street. An
orderly and silent crowd it seemed, of
the better class. Here and there he
saw the police agents In plain clothes,
impassive but watchful, on the lookout
for the first cry Of treason.
An hour or two, or three-three at
the most-and the fate Of the palace
would lie in the hands of that crowd.

CHAPTER XV-Continued.

Hedwig's notification that she would
visit her, found the countess at leisure
and alone. She followed the announce
ment almost Immediately, and if she
had shown cowardice before, she
showed none now. She disregarded
the chair Olga Loschek offered, and
came to the point with directness
that was like the kings.

The countess was as direct.

bling, and it annoyed her.
Il should go away, now, with the

where would you go?"
''The world is wide, highness."
''Not wide enough to hide in, am
lfraid"
''For myself" said the countess, "the
problem would not be difficult l
should go to my place in the noun
tains. An old priest, who knows me
well, would perform the marriage.
After that they might find me if they
liked. 1t would be too late
"Thls priest-he might be difficult"
"Not to a young couple, come to him,
perhaps. in peasant costume. They
are GLAD to marry, these fathers.
There is much irregularity. I fancy"
she added, still with her carefully de-
tached manner, that marriage could
be easily arranged
But, before long, she had dropped
her pretense of aloOfness, and was TAX
ing the lead. Hedwig, weary with the
struggle, and now trembling with
nervousness, put herself in her hands,
listening while she planned, agreed
eagerly to everything. Something Of
grim amusement came into Olga Los
chek's face after a time. By doing this
thing she would lose everything. 1t
would be impossible to conceal her
cOnnivance. No one, knowing Hedwig,
would for moment imagine the plan
hers. Or Nikky's, either, for that mat
ter.
She, then, would lose everything,
even Karl, who was already lost to her.
But-and her face grew set and her
eyes hard-she would let those plot
tiers in their grisly catacombs do their
own filthy work. Her hands would be
clean of that. Hence her amusement

should be saving her own soul.
So it was arranged, to the last de-
tail. For 1t must be done at once.
Hedwig a trifle terrified, would have
postponed it a day or so, but the
countess was insistent. Only she knew
how the very hours counted, had them
numbered, indeed, and watched them
flying by with sinking heart.
If she gave a fieeting thought to the
palace, to the crown prince and his i'm
pending fate she dismissed it quick
ly. She had no affection for An

REFUSES !"
'eHe has promised not to leave

'cHe has promised not to leave
Otto"
Olga Loschek had been incredulous,
at first. 1t was not possible. Men in
love did not do these things. 1t was
not possible, that, after all, she had
failed. When she realized it, she
would have broken out in bitter pro-
test, but Hedwig's face warned her.
''He is right, of course" Hedwig had
said. "You and were wrong count
ess. There is nothing to door say"
And the countess had taken her de-
feat quietly, with burning eyes and a
throat dry with excitement.
The plot was arranged, to the small
est detail. The king, living now only
so long as it was decreed he should
live, would, in mid-afternoon, COM
mence to sink. The entire court
would be gathered in anterooms and
salons near his apartments. In his
rooms the crown prince would be kept,
awaiting the summons to the throne
room, where, on the kings death, the
regency would be declared, and the
court would swear fealty to the new
king, Otto the Ninth. By arrangement
with the captain of the palace guard,
who was one of the committee of ten,
the sentries before the crown princes
door were to be of the revolutionary
party. Mettlich would undoubtedly
be with the king. Remained then to
be reckoned with only the princes per-
sonal servants, Miss Braithwaite, and
Milky Larisch.
Two obstacles were left for the
countess to cope with, and this was
her part of the work. She had al
ready plan for Miss Braithwaite. But
Milky LariSch?
Over that problem, during the long
night hours, Olga Loschek worked. 1t
would be possible to overcome Milky,
Of course. There would be four men,
with the sentries, against him. But
that would mean struggle and an
alarm. It was the plan to achieve the
abduction quietly, so quietly that for
perhaps an hour-they hoped for an
hour-there would be no alarm. Some
time they must have, enough to make
the long journey through the under
ground passage. Otherwise the open
ing at the gate would be closed, and
the party caught like rats in hole.
During the early afternoon the
chancellor visited the crown prince.
Waiting and watching had made in
roads on him, but he assumed sort
of heavy popularity for the boys bene-
fit.

where for some air." he observed. 1T

''In day or So" he said, eve shall all

like that, eh?"
"W1ll my grandfather be able to go1'
The chancellor sighed. eyes," he
said, "I-he will go to the country
also. He has loved it very dearly"
He left, shortly after three o'clock.
And, because he was restless and un-
