ton of the Rhenish Westphalian Ga

How could we possibly meet a still

that Sammy Jay left the Green Forest
that morning that Jerry awoke and de-
cided in his own mind that by this time
it would probably be perfectly safe to
resume work getting carrots for his
winter supply. So Jerry poked his head
out Of the little doorway which opened
right underneath the green tops Of some
Of the carrots and was cleverly hidden
by them. Once outside he sat up and
looked about Everything seemed per-
fectly safe No enemy was to be seen
anywhere Jerry went to work digging
carrots.
Now knowing nothing about this little
doorway of Jerry's, it never entered the
had of Reddy Fox to look over among
the carrots. He simply lay there on the
bank Of the ditch with his eyes fixed on
that other entrance to the tunnel, SO Of
course he didn't see Jerry. He couldn't
very well anyway on account Of the tops
of the carrots, and the fact that Jerry
was some little distance away. Neither
did Sammy Jay see Jerry.
For long time Sammy watched Red
dy Fox and Reddy Fox watched the hole
to the tunnel in Jerry's ditch. Then
Sammy's patience gave out. He few
with his sharp. inquisitive eyes, he saw
the little hole at the bottom Of the ditch
He hadn't the remotest idea who could
have dug that hole, but just on general
principles Sammy yelled a warning.
'Thief! Thief! Thief" he yelled. and
few away about his own business
At tho first sound Of Sammy's voice
Jerry Muskrat seized a carrot and dart
ed into the tunnel. He didn't know
what tho danger was but he meant to
DO safe.

made public by the soviet authorities.
Tho welfare Of Russia was scarcely
mentioned in entries for several weeks
after the Kerensky revolution.
Nicholas thoughts were wholly oc-

following the great events which de-
prived him of his throne. The diary
also reveals his great affection for
his family and mother. to whom he al
ways additionally refers as dear

An incident with former Crown

Nicholas the changed conditions in the
army. He tells Of it in the following
story:

Effect Of Election Abroad.

The President speaks Of the effect
OF the election abroad. He says that
there they understand the meaning
OF elections. They do, and they will
know that II the republicans have
a majority in Congress the war will
be pressed with greater vigor than
ever before. They are quite aware
that the power OF the Senate IL equal
to that Of the President in the con-
summation of peace by treaty. They
will know that the republican party
stands for q victorious peace and
the overthrow Of Prussian militar-
ism. That knowledge will not de-
press the spirit of our allies or en-
courage the government Of Ger
many.
The republican party believes that
the question of surrender should be
left to Marshal r'och, to the generals
and to the armies in the field. When
they report that Germany has laid
down her arms the United States and
the allies should then impose their
terms. Will that knowledge cause
detection to those who are fighting
with US? All the world knows that
the republican party is opposed to
negotiations and discussion carried
on in diplomatic notes addressed to
the German government The re-
publican party stands for uncondi-
tional surrender. There is no re-
publican creed so short that there is
not room in it for those two words"
