know what better time for the COVER

given help to put it where it should be
as a military college. Here is nucleus
of fine military outfit, and mighty
well handled by a very able corps of
instructors and officials, every one of
them giving of their best, and as the
Reformer well says, giving of its men for
actual service, even to Gripping the
higher classes Such an institution, do
ing such work, all along the lines of re-
paredness, is entitled to have the gov
eminent take notice of it. Here is a
chance for some real big men to shine
and we are wondering if it is not up to
our representatives in Congress to call
the attention of the government to the
matter.
According to statement recently
made by Dean II. r. Roberts, acting
president of Norwich university, there
are now three hundred and sixteen Nor

denburg, Says Socialist

London. Jan. l5.-Resding between tn
lines in the German newspapers, it be
comes apparent that the conferences o
military and political leaders now taking
place at Berlin are regarded as an effor
to obtain some sort OF an agreement
among the German parties as to wal
aims.
At present all signs point to the tri
umph of their militarists, although il
is evident the opposing forces are max
ing strong fight.
The Tageblatt of Berlin reports VIC
lent scenes at a sitting of the Reich
stag main committee when a Polish dep
uty warned the government against
yielding to the militarists.
"The present Prussian regime is deep
ly hated by the Poles, for it has been
the most repulsive type of rule that any
people have ever had to bear" he said.
81 warn you that the people will at
length come to their senses, and this war
will prove the graveyard of German mill
tarism."
Speaking at Socialist meeting at
Bielsgeld, Herr Severing, former mem
Der of the Reichstag, said:
"A majority of the German people
would not shed single tear over the
resignation of Hindenburg, Ludendorff or
any general who opposes peace by under
standing
"The German people will pay most hom-
age to the man who does most in the
cause OF peace

war aims of the United States has been

papers and by papers in other northern
cities of Germany, according to reports

run down, could not eat or sleep and
kept steadily slipping. Doctors and med

One of his many admirers said to him
"Why not try Phosphated Ironf Every
body is boosting it."
Grasping at the last straw, the poor
fellow took a try at it. The way he came
back was an "eye-opener." He was there
in every department of the game, his
nerves were like iron. he could hit the
ball and was no time getting back to the
three-hundred mark, while his base run
ming and fielding were great.
Discussing the matter with our report
