Berlin, Aug. 7.-Germany's in
milan Harden, is evidently deter
mined to live up to his reputation.
Once more. l hear, he has let the
German cat out of the bag, this
time in connection with the un-
dignified bearing of Germanys Of
fetal representatives at Spa, and
has taken opportunity to tell his
countrymen a few home truths.
Can we wonder" he is quoted
as saying, that the outside world
and even that part of it that has
taken pity on and is feeding our
half-starved children. is learning
to despise us more than ever.
During the war, from the very mo-
ment when things began to go
wrong, that is to say from the time
of the battle of the Marne, which
the German people were never Of
Cially permitted to know of, We
maintained that we were fighting
only in self defence. and that we
had never wanted the war. Was l
not all but murdered when ! spoke
up and openly stated that not only
did we want the war. but that we
spent years in preparing for it?
Now we have the disgusting
sight of Germany first signing the
peace treaty. then trying every
trick to evade her obligations, and
finally sending a chancellor to Spa

Uncle Wiggily, with a~twinkle of
his pink nose, for a change. I'm

And, in the second place, 1 have no

You are very lucky" went on the
robin. Dear me! What can have

can't hatch them all by myself, for
1 have to fly away, now and then
to get something to eat. My wife

"Whre is she" asked Uncle Wig

That's what 1 don't know" an
swered the father robin. She few

what's all the fuss about?
In the middle of a crowd on the
"Graben," in the center of Vienna
two yolkswehr (soldiers of the peo-
ple's army were eXcitedly arguing
with an officer, who was still wear
ing the three golden stars, the dis
tinction of a captain in the old army
of Austria Hungary. Three blue
stripes around the sleeve on the
forearm is the new distinction of
the republic.
Although the captain protested
most yehemently, his stars and ep-
aulettes were finally forcibly torn
off. regardless of his four wound
stripes, whereupon the crowd dis
persed.
Omcers to Hungary.
Thousands of Austrian officers
have gone over to Hungary to join
Horthys army. where in return for
the treatment that has been meted
out to them in Austria they become
ardent followers of the counter
revolution. eagerly spreading "Hor-
thy-culture."
Others went to Poland to join the
Polish army, some entered the Gee

many of them are now officers of
the Ukrainian army.
The rest have gone over to civil
ian employment of the Austrian
state, joining the customs house
staff and the constabulary. When
ever you come across a particularly
smart policeman in the streets OF
Vienna you may rest assured it is a
former officer of the old Austro-
Hungarian army. At the same time
there are many who have found no
positions whatever. They live en-
bittered in hiding.
Quite recently an old general
committed suicide at the grave of
his wife, afraid of facing an old age
in penury.
Officers widows are selling their
family jewels. their furniture, their
linen, trying to exc out a miserable
existence. Many of them are forced
to take situations as housekeepers,
companions, governesses and cooks
in the houses of the new rich-a
class of people whom they always
considered far below their own So
cial standing.

yet the eggs need to be kept warm
and -
Say. Look here" suddenly said
Uncle Wiggily with a laugh. MY
fur Is nice and warm. 1t is as warm
as your feathers. Now IL / could
hover over your eggs while you go
and get something to eat, until YOU
wife gets back"
The very thing joyfully cried
robin daddy. Il never thought of
that. But how can you get up in
the tree to our nest? he asked.
Here is a wild grape vine grow
ing up" said Uncle Wiggily. Il can
manage to climb that, l guess, and
then 1 will keep the eggs warm"
You II be careful not to break
them, won't you, my kind friend?'
asked Daddy Robin.
"Oh, CT course" answered the
bunny. You forget that l am used
to handling Easter eggs"
So while Mr.. Robin few away to
get something to eat, Uncle Wiggily
climbed up the grape vine ladder
and nestled down with his warm fur
ever the eggs in the nest. His rheu
matism crutch was a little in the
way, but he managed to hang that
on a branch and then he Just cud-
dled down, very softly. as much of
Linn as could get in the nest and he
went to sleep.
Did my wife come back YETI
asked Mr.. Robin, as he few to the
rest, waking UP the bunny after a
while.
mo, I haven't seen anything of
her." answered Uncle wiggily, rub
bing his eyes.
Dear me! wonder what can
have happened?" said the father
robin. Il don't see what I am to
do" and, perching himself in the
top of a tall tree he sent forth his
"yippity-yip-yip' cry, loudly and
quickly. calling for his wife to come
back.
But Mrs. Robin did not return
and Uncle Wiggily said:
Never mind. I'll come every day
and keep the eggs warm, as your
wife would have done, while YOU
set something to eat"
So the bunny did this, and he
never said a word to Nurse Jane
hiiiS " hiit WHAT ne was
doing: He wanted to surprise her
For over a week Uncle wiggily
went every day and helped the
father robin keep the eggs warm

under Wiggily's fur. and out came

their eyes opened and they locke

No. your mother Is lost, I guess, -

THINKS PILGRIM SHIP
CONVERTED INTO BARN

London. Aug. 7.-Anent the com
ing celebration Of pilgrims Day
in the United States TO celebrate
the landing OF the Msyhower, IL is
claimed by DR.. Kendall Harris that
the timbers or the ship probably
were used to build a barn, at Chal-
font, St. Giles. He admitted there is
no documentary proof. however,
and added there is evidence that
the Mayiower was broken up in
1894 while the barn was built q
year later.
Experts declare the barn was
built entirely from the timbers OF a
150-tOn ship, whereas the May
flower was rated at $50 tons
Family carved letters "Har" agree
with the Mayhower's port OF regis
try, Harwich, and one Of the own
ers OF the Pilgrims ship was be-
lieved TO be a farmer TO whom the
barn belonged.

THE reopening of parliament
then will be marked most likely by
a great debate on foreign policy.
At the same time, it will be neces-
sary to solve the presidential prob
lem. always latent, no matter
what is said. That will now be
more lively, since in their constitu-
encies the deputies will be con-
stantly questioned on the health of
President Deschanel. 1t is possible,
moreover, the premier will submit
to the parliament's proposal to
change the constitution, especially
with regard to the method of elect
