THE DAYr

der Tag" has an entirely different significance to
our German friends in this time. 1t is not toasted
with bravado nor does it require the same number of
stems. Rather is it mentioned in gloom and its APP
proach dreaded. Impatience of its coming has given
place to horror of its arrival. For "'The Day." now
means that another installment of the PREPARATIONS debt
due the allies is payable and the old German sock is
empty or nearly so; and has nothing to do with the
German dream of conquerng the world and owning it.
Away down in Holland on the banks of a canal
dwells in seclusion an arch-conspirator, much hated by
tie world; and off in the Atlantic ocean on a lone
island lives his fellow not so much hated but trusted
not at all by the world.
"The Day." they have to look forward to with what
joy they may command is the day of death and the
day most to be feared by them is the Judgment Day.

The Erie railroad has discovered a plan for getting
its maintenance of way workmen at the current mar

for special application to railroad employees. The Erie
