And tells of joys that are to be.
And as you run its columns Ger
Your yesterdays come trooping

You fancy you're at nome once more,
And golden seem the letters black.

Glad messages 10 Danish care

The old home paper seems to be
The faithful friend that doesn't

A friend that sou are glad to see.

cERMANY's SOLAR PLExUs.

When the Kaiser and the German
people have fully digested the reply
of the Allies through President Will
son they will come to an alarming
awakening.
OF course, the German armies are
not beaten yet They are still fighting
with amazing power, considering the
odds against them. Nobody can ques-
ton the marvellous power of their fight
ing machine organization. History will
credit the Prussian with all that he
has accomplished in war achievement
up to the time he entered this war.
At that moment began the disrup-
ton of Prussianism. All of it's boosted
strength, secretly prepared and drilled
for fifty years, began to disintegrate at
the first Battle Of the Marine In 1914.
Since then the stoutest attacks made
by Germany have been countered, until
today the surging masses of Huns are
gradually being pushed back through
a line of cement defenses the like of
which has never been known.
This proves that something superior
to German war efficiency has come out
of France, England, Italy and America.
All the time Germany has been invent
ing great machine-handled cannon the
outside mind of man has been discov-
ering something better.

his labors are appreciated. At best

all the cheering help he can get to
bolster him up But there are bust
ness men who never think of adding
Il word of praise now and then to those
they employ. THAT'S fine, Bob" has
helped many toiler along the road to
better achievement. Men like to work
for an appreciative boss. Cold indif-
ference leads to dissatisfaction and
discomfort always. The word of cheer
helps any man amazingly. 1t is always
a ray of sunshine that pierces the
shadows of existence.
So pass it along. Don't be afraid
to say, "That's fine, Bob" as often as
you see it is needed. Besides making
Bob happy you will add another stone
to the structure of your own happiness
The grouchy boss is neither a comfort

THE ANSWER.

Perhaps no document proceeding
from the Presidents capable intellec-
tuals has ever gone so swiftly to the
heart of the question or disposed with
such candid and yet subtle dialectic
skill of Il dangerously plausible trick
of the enemy's diplomacy as his reply,
through Mr.. Lansing, to Prince Maxi
milian's peace proposals.
Ten thousand words of amplification
could add naught to this incomparably
effective response. 1t argues nothing
1t promises nothing, but serenely and
without the least buster of rhetorical
phrase it hamstrings the Kaisers
stalking horse.
I'VE are ready to accept your well
known terms of peace as the basis of
negotiations" said Prince Macmillan.
well known terms?' replies the Presi-
dent.
1--WE propose an armistice while the
negotiations are going on said Prince
Macmillan. "Fhere can be no armis-
tice," replies the President, while
your troops are in the territory you
have invaded"
''We are ready to parley with view
to peace" said Prince Macmillan. "Of
whom are you speaking?" replies the
President. 1T is vital that we should
know whether we are parleying with
the German people or with the crimi-
nails who involved the civilized world
in this awful war; With them, devoid
of honor, as l have remarked before,
we have no common language and can
have no thought in common"
That is all, but it is enough; and it
is as incontrovertible in it's majestic
simplicity as the laws governing the
movements of the heavenly bodies, and
as beautiful as the American flag

Bah! The Kaiser, with all his sin
