All but the men who are responsible for the
war. Those plotters, who, with utter disregard
for human rights and liberties, planned the very
thing they brought to pass. These are fugi-
tives or cover in hiding from the wrath they
invoked and the justice they defed. For twenty
six years the world awaited the day when Will
liamII of Germany would unleash the dogs of
war; Often it seemed the hour had come but
he, with snug hypocrisy, bided his time, SEEM
ing to delight in his power to threaten and
buster, until at his own chosen moment he set
IN motion the mighty machine he had built up
for the purpose of subjugating humanity to his
will
Just when statesmen of the other great coun-
tries were planning for a future without war,
this man was plotting his stupendous crime.
Seemingly acquiescent in his movement for
international and harmonious action for Justice
divorced from physical force, he was secretly
preparing to crush the governments he so will
fully deceived. Broken by the monster of his
own making, he has abdcated his throne, given
over his autocratic pretensions, and has fled
from his country, to seek in an alien land re-
fuge from the people he misled and betrayed.

PEACE: AND THE FUTURE.

Peace, so far as cessation of actual hostili-
ties is concerned, has come to troubled world.
Is it any wonder that throughout the length
and breadth of America the event was hailed
with joyous clamor, that the citizens gave them
selves up to demonstrations Of enthusiastic ex-
preston that amounted at times to veritable
frenzy of joy, while the devout humbly re-
turned to God their thanks for the passing of
the burden that has rested so heavily on all the
world? For almost hfty-two months civiliza-
ton, human progress, all that man has strug-
gled for and accomplished has been threatened
by unrestraned military power Such horrors
as never before were known have been wrought,
and the suffering and hardship has been spread
to the uttermost corners OF the earth. No peo-
pie has escaped the effects of this war, for the
terror it contained was directed against all.
That is why the world rejoices today be-
cause the burden has been lifted. Men may
breathe freely again, and go about their bust
ness on land or by sea- knowing once more they
are safe from the threat of the military monster
of Germany

THEF1'S OF BICYCLE

twenty bicycles have been stolen re-
Gently in Alexandria. The thieves
generally endeavor to make certain
changes to the machines to prevent

priating a wheel belonging to young
white man. The machine had been al

CHAPTER II
The Witch OF the Might

(Peg0y Is inuited to the Birds Harvest
Cdrniral and goes disguised as a Parrot,
having been made tiny by fairy ring
grdSs.)
A FTER the Bats had flown away, badly
n scared by Peggys Parrot disguise. the
Night Birds bore the aerial chariot swiftly to
the golf links where the Harvest carnival
was to be held The birds chuckled and
giggled among themselves at the way In
which Peggy had frightened them.
THE Witch of the Night. That's fine
joke!" cried a Whp-Poor-Will
Let's keep it joke" answered Peggy.
"Ill be the Witch Of the Night at the car
nival. Please don't tell any one who 1 really
am"
We'll keep your secret" promised the
birds.
The chariot sailed over the broad. beau
tful green where the crowd was gathering
for the carnival, and came gently to earth
behind patch Of shrubbery. Peggy dis
mounted and the Night Birds flew away
to put on their costumes for the fun.
Peggy was delighted when she peeked
around the shrubbery. The broad green car
pet was covered with gaily decked birds who
made n fantastic picture in the bright moon
light. The green itself was set on the side
of a partly wooded hill. Below 1t was a
tiny lake, which sparkled brilliantly as the
waves played under the gentle urging of the
evening breeze
Peggy didn't see familiar bird In the
