May Return 10 Old Relations.

Fiity-two years ago, in 1866, Germany
and Austria were at war Germany
forced the war upon Austria, and defeated
her in short order Then the two coun-
tries entered into an alliance for mutual
relations
This was in accordance with Bismarck $
policy for building up the great German
Empire He decided that the subiection
of Austria, through defeat in war, was an
essential step, in order to give prestige
10 Prussia. That accomplished. he soon
made q friendly ally Of Austria. and then
proceeded with his great task Of bringing
all the German states and principalitles
under one prussan rule. Next came his
desire for war with France, which,
fortunately for Prussia, was due almost
entirely TO dispatch from the German
Emperor TO the Emperor Louis Napoleon
of France. in which Bismarck, unknown
To his Emperor, made an assertion that
was regarded by France as an insult
Immediately France declared war, and
Bsmarck's scheme WIS successful. lie
wanted the initial move 10 come from the
other side. and such was the result
And in that war, 1901, France went
down IN defeat
For more than half a century the
relations between Germany and Austria
established after the latter's defeat IN iS66
have continued unbroken. But now they
are badly strained Austria apparently
realizes that she is in a serious plight by
reason of her adherence TO the cause of
Germany.
1t may be that the relations between
these two countries. brought about by
war may soon be broken by the results

KEEP THE SUGAR PLEDGE.

sufficient for everybody. But, also, it 's
going to be difficult to dodge. and an at
tempt to dodge will involve some consid-
cradle darger to the individual or the
company making the effort. The re-
strictions are not of kind TO involve any
serious deprivation.

next Monday will bc construed rs hoard
