While we were examining the air

the air. It climbed rapidly to about
10,000 feet, and the Kaiser turned
to Gen. Hoppner, saying:
"How la it that. at such a height

As the pilot in the exhibition slight

of the Kaiser was lutense. Clooely
he watched tbe plane through Lei

it darted upward again, almost on Its

Lhe Men In Power in His Country,
med He Perot'. Gat the Inconsist-
ency of the Kaiser's Stand Now
and In the Days Gone By.
UK Daily Telegraph's Rotter-
dam correspondent. says
teat a recent number of
Max. Harden's eaktinft a as
scathing an indictment ot Geethany s
policy and her rulers and statesmen
as yet has seen the light. It is en-
titled, "Tbe Eternal Sickness." by
which t be writer means the desire for
world cierninion. and he clearly im-
plies that it is In Germany that tbis
sickens is raging.
Not only does Kuehltnann fall un-
der Hardens scornful lash, but also
the Kaiser himself, in connection
with whose recent outburst against
the Angio -Saxon world conception
MAX HARDEN.
Harden recalls the contrary 'clew ex-
pressed by the Emperor in his fam-
ous London Telegraph interview.
Referring to the Kaiser's speech,
Harden writes:
'lie did not always think thus—
he who, as the son uf a .British wo-
With, oath, la an unhappily famous
interview, declared himself Eng-
land's only friend La an Angiophobe
nation.
"In his opinion now, the peoples
of the world are under the yoke of
the Anglo-Saxon dominating race,
for whotn they are working as slaves,
and the war cannot end before one
a the different world conosptions
has unconditionally conquered—
PrUellian-Germanic freedom, right,
honor and morality or Anglo-Saxon
idolising of money,
"Why was Kuehimann's speech
discussed in foreign countries only
witb contempt, and abused at home
with fury? Because there was noth-
ing in it which convinced them ot
the uprightness of its author. The
restoration of Belgium to ite condi-
tion a July, 1914, must be guaran-
eed, or the answer put off until
America. Great Britain and France
have been so defeated that even
alter a period of years they will
not be able to raise themselves, ani
well declare themselves conquered.
Anything else is sham fighting.

the open declaration of war. 1n -

Gernmay Displays EMciescy In
Deenving the People.
Will Irwin has something to say
in the Saturday Evening Post about
"The Age of Lies" The following
shows a German cross -current:
What is Germany?saki the
primary geography. •I1 is your
Fatherland, entirely surrounded by
enemies.' At the time when this lie
WAS being recited by, rote, those
enemies, groaning under the arms,
meats that Prussian military prepar-
ation had forced upon Europe, were
looking for some way to get Perma-
nent peace with Germany aid to Lay
down their arms. The -Prussian state
preacher of tbe official Prussian
Church, who advanced in his proles-
sion according as his views and im-
pressions matched Junker ideas and
plans, preacbed from the pulpit the
lie that a hostile world was waiting
to strangle Germany; the state
-
endowed teacher echoed from his
desk.
The German national concert,
which has given us many a laugh,
was worked up by tneee same seen
-
cite. Germany was a heaven. No-
where In the world was the working
class so well off as in Germany. All
Ibis In fare of the facts that the Ger-
man average wage was as low as the
lowest la Europe; that German hours
of labor were the longest in Europe;
that the German tuberculosis rate
and infantile death rate—those two
barometers of poverty — were the
highest in Western Europe; that half
of the working-class families of Ber-
lin lived in one room. Them lies were
swallowed as a whole--aceepted as
gospel- by a peoph as accustomed to
absorb untruth as their ruler* were
facile in giving it forth.
"Yet that second stage in the
moral breakdown of Germany was
not coMpleted until the second stage
of this war. The plan of a quick
eweep-up in France, a decisive blow
against the heart a Russia and a
complete victory atter three months
of intensive warfare was foiled by
the French victory at the Marne and
the Britieh stand at YPres. After
November. 1914, the German mili-
tary caste maw thae this was goith to
be a lobe war. Tbey mobilized to
that end all the resources of Ger-
many, and nothing was more thor-
oughly mobilized than the forces
which control public opinionsuch as
the prese. the pulpit and education.
"From. that time on army press
committees in every district of Ger-
many issued daily and weekly bulle-
tins, telling the editors just what
tone to adopt toward'any and every
topic concerning the war, forbidding
discussion of a thousand matters out-
side the legitimate scope of an army
censorship. By this elaborate ma-
chine they insured free circulation
for any lie that would keep up the
morale of the German people or 'terve
10 trliet troubicsome consciences."

The old notion that eczema a a
disease of the blood is refuted tim•
and Ume again by the cures that are
daily being effectee -by Dr. Chase's
Ointment.
It Matters not what the cause may
have been, if you apply Dr. Chase's
Ointment regularly you will obtain
relief and cure of StSIOMS.. Iiere is
the proof :
Mrs. Stephen G. Thwaites, Box 206,

for days at a time. He tried differ-

but had not quite finished the second

with small brown scales on its top.
A Freach scientific journa.1 says
that exteasive experiments in tbe pro-
duction of ithelible ink from this
fungus were made by French bo-
tanists.
The fungi are simply placed in a
bottle or other container. After
standing for a day or two they change
to a black, pulpy mane wbich, on be-
ing filtered througt a folded cloth,
yields a deep black or brownish ink,
not unlike India ink. Tbe addition
of a small quaatity of gum arabic
and a little of the essence of cloves
a said to improve it and preserve its
fluidity.
The ink consists of a liquid in
which are suspeneed the minute
alliores of the fungus. For this rea-
son it can be readily identified he
means of a microscopic examination.
As it is also indelible, it is peculiarly
valuable for use in writing of wills
and other documents wiecti are some-

IrrigaCon are two methods of

from the trth. The, fact is, dry
farming and irrigation are methods

are designed to overcome low prod-

it is required and when It is rook•
