Thos. Murray, Clerk. How Germany Views Situation The German view -point, as expressed in a despatch to the New York • Sun, is thus stated: • "There is no denial that Germany is • experiencing stress. Ger- many, as other nations, is facing certain bankruptcy after the war. But bank- ruptcy after the war doesn't 'matter in German official opinion. The thing ,is to hold the line and to keep the road until England wearies. Bankruptcy is accepted as more or less Inevitable, so far have things gone.' • England will, be bankrupt, too. During the *lir • Ger.- manycannot go bankrupt, and afterwards -the view is -Germany -will ntitlag be- hind an county .•nrec • But aside from its safety it relieves coushc and colds, it the biet, remildyltnown for croup, and when riven as soon 04 the cough pears It will even prevent the attack." croupy tit appears 1 : • 12, lin officials hat/: sized up the probabili- ties. They report that England can't crush Germany before the Island Empire starves to death: They think Britain will real.ze this and quit. They point - to the time of Frederick the. Great, -when Europe thought Prussia could be crushed out of existence and fought long years to do it. Then the idea came to Europe that, after all, the Prussians were there hcart,,of-=the- Contii.ent-and it- imigil bb j. stmt well-tblive:with ahem. When the Allies have profited . by this lesson Berlin expects real peace talk to begin." Wounded in the Present War Sit Anthony Bowlby, the King's sur- geon, who treated King George after'his recent accident in France, in a recent lecture, said 'wounds inflicted by modern projectiles could in no way be corpared' with those of the Boer war, The bullets of the Bluth African battles produced .much less smashing and rending wounds than, the pointed bullets of to -day. The injury caused by bullets in this war is wholly due to the wave .ef 'compressed air which the bullet• cltives in front of it and Which expands within the tissues ,Io dealing with the effects of sholl fire wounds,the royal surgeon said the wounds were such as he had never seen in the worst machinery accident of civil life. He had seen gaping wounds as large as slencned fist caused by quite, s>rall fragments, which evidently owed their power of destruction to the extraordin- ary ve`locit with. which • they . tGri vellacl 014 la the r rmoi Its IiOVl MUTE.

Are .Leaders in the "Worry' Ailment -:-Rest Only .Cure Doctors"' Skill Useiesi Women are perhaps mora ;pronte, to thenew malady which is making it - eel)? .reit than men. War' worry ,has •• now become .a deflnite diiiease. Its symptoms. are very 111ce those of neurasthenia. The victim becomes depressed, nervous, starting et. any: , unexpected sowed, is in a constant state of agitation, is ready to cry at slightest difficulty, 'acid 1s gener• ally in a .morbid condition of mental and ° physical health. What is the cause 51 this' distressing trouble? When a woman has " a relative or friend, hu iband or sweetheart or son at the front in deadly peril of :his life, - the day-by-day agony- of mind, the anxiety ty as to. his,•safety, the expecta- tion et' a fateful emissive trona . the War Of Ice, this dreadful `anticipation, of '.he worst, naturally.produces an. effect that can only result -if '• allowed to operate -4 -in complete breakdain, But the setae painful ' state, is to " be • ob- served in many peoplewho have no direct - cause of pre -occupation with the . war, There is. an "unhealthy prat/. "Mg' er• news. Every .day, every hour some dramatic development Is looked for, and the brain, seeking continually for fresh sensations, . magnifies. and distorts such information as is avail- able. Rumor is caned upon to supply what the newspapers, which have only the authentic messages to' work upon, cannot provide. A Good Cure . Housekeeping cares, intensified b= the war, are also to be held respon- sible. Other causes might be enumer- ated, but what /is of more importance is the remedy for these ills. The doc- tors are helpless. Drugs are useless. There is :one' way- and- one way --only by which sanity may be preserved. It is' simple, ,and it is sure.. Try the restfulness of relaxing. Whenever things seem bad,• so bad that they could not well be worse, sit quietly back and deliberately, consciously let yourself go: Let every limb fall limp. Do not allow a single muscle in the body co be `stressed. To close ones eyes and put oneself in' this attitude of entire peace • is not as easy as it sounds, . but ,it can be accomplished with a little practice. ' Watch Yourself Now Notice the way in which :you are sitting at this moment. You are prob- ably holding this paper with tightly-. clenched hands, and are reading it with straining eyes. Your mouth is tightly set Your neck is rigid. Your very toes are. as it were, cultchfns the floor. You are clinging with your body to the 'chair.. --Don't do ;hese things. The chair- will hold you. You need not hold the chair. If--you-will allow yourself to be ..at ease, with every fibre free, for a space of five =mutes; you will get up filled, with new energy. • Practise this continually.. Pause when you are weary and worried. Sink into complete abandonment. No war worry can stand against this treat- ment, for, the tonic is lasting.
