HERR BALLIN'S SUICIDE.
Shipping Magnate Foresee Hula of
His Country.
LONDON, Nov. 36. -The secret of
the suicide of Albert Baltic Ger-
many's greatest 'hipping magnate, Is
revealed by the' Amsterdam eorre-
6pondent of the Dally Express as a
consequence of a heated discussion
pith the Kaiser at German head-
quarters in October. .
Herr Bailin had -been summoned
to headquarters by Gen. Ludendorff,
then practically dictator In all mili-
tary affairs. who lectured him at
length for opposing the orders
the military party In regard to na-
tional reconstruction after the w.wr.
Baffin Informed Ludendorff that re-
construction was not a business for at
general who was plunging Germany
Into the abyss of defeat, and intimat-
ed that he would bring the matter
before the Kaiser.;
The Kaiser received Herr Bailin en
the same dap, and strongly sup-
ported Ludendo!' views. He hinted
that Bailin must either accept thobe
views or retire from public life.
Bailin made a leagtby reply, In whreli
he foretold much t .at since has hale
peened, and urgeftl,Iile Kaiser not to
allow himself to le blinded to the
real situation age above all, not to
make an under,' Ilding with Great
Britain Impossik.
"Unless we are on decent terms
with Britain," he deelared, "Ger-
many cannot live."
The Kaiser shrugged his ehoulde,.t
and said he believed Genuany would
fight her way out despite Britain.
Bailin then hinted at the possibility
of a revolution in Germany Ib view
of the Increasing discontent. On the
same day Bailin made a minute re-
cord of the conversation and for-
warded it to a ern journtellet
friend, Dr. Hahn, with a letter. whirr,
has been published, In which he stat
ed that President W)laon's answer to
Germany's application for an armis-
tice was much more fatorable thin
she had a right to expect.
After his meeting with the Kaiser

often of killing himself, and when

MAY SINK GERMAN NAVY.
Ships Are In Deplorable State
'through Neglect.
LONDON,' ,, Nov. 26. -After an In-
spection of the German battleships
and cruisers held by the Entente,
and final settlement of their owner-
ship by the Pesci' Conference, all the
vessels probably be sunk, as ap-
parently there in no disposition on
the part of the Entente to risk the
controversies which would be likely
n ease of an attempted division of
t•em.
ntente naval experts` will inspect
the German craft carefully to learn
whether they contain features _ uns
known to the Entente.
' The inspection of the Ge as sur-
rendered ships is proceed g is

which, It la understood, will disarm
and intern the remnants of the Ger-
man navy. Wilhelshaven will also be
visited by the squadron. T mine-

make a passage through Elsinore
Sound and the Baltic to Kiel Bay for

will consist of the battleship Hercules

duty of Admiral Browning, who will
be In command to ascertain that the
remaining German vessels at the
bases of Kiel and Wilhelmshaven are
properly disarmed.

Grand Duke Renounces Throne.
BASEL, Nov. 26.-A proclamation
Issued Friday In Karlruhe, by the
Grand Duke of Freldrich of Haden,
says that he relieves soldiers and of-
ficials from their oath of fidelity and
renounces the throne for himself
and his descendants, in arrerd with
his cousin and heir, Prince MaxImll-
an, the former German Chancellor.
The provisional people's govern-
ment of Baden in announcing the
abdication to the people, declares
that the Grand Duke and his family,
and their honor are under the pro-
tection of the Boden Republic. The
announcement renders homage to the
patriotism of the Grand Duke and
the 'services of Prince Maximilian to
Germany.

LIMA, Peru, Nov. 26. --it is offi-
cially announced that Peru has with-
drawn her consuls from Chile as a
result of the renewal of anti -Peru-
vian rioting In iquique and Antofa-
gasta.
The demonstrations grow out of
the differences between Chile on one
side and Peru and Bolivia on the
other concerning the border pro-
vinets of Tacna and Arica.

PLO SPREADS OVER
CIVILIZED WORLD.
Germ Eludes Bacteriologists and Health
Authorities Are Baffled.
The influenza epidemic continues una-
bated. its ravages are not conhned to
this city or Province or even to Canada,
and cable reports indicate that it is rapidly
spreading over the civilized world. It has
baffled medical skill to an unusual extent
and has claimed mire victims per-
haps than any other epidemic in a
scare qt years. 1 iN germ has eluded the
bacteriologists and medical men now
agree that the best cure is prevention.
The surest prevention is to build up the
powers of resistance and to get the system
in the beat physical condition possible. It
is now un.versally agreed that it is pos-
sible to perfect the powers of resistance of
the human system so that 11 can throw
o8 almost any infection, not excepting
Spanish influenza.
It has been discovered that persons who
are weak and rundown are the earliest
victims. and if you find yourself tired or
weak and Icsing flesh. or if yi,u are in a
generally rundown condition and below
your normal weight. this warning should
be heeded promptly.
If you are in this condition nothing on
earth will build you up and strengthen
you like Tanlac. which contains the most
powerful tonic properties known to
scierke. As a constructive tonic and sys-
tem -builder it is without an equal and
contains the very elements needed by
the system to give you lighting strength
to ward off the influenza germ. This is a
statement of facts and is supported by
the recognized authorities and reference
works. including the United States Dis-
pensatory and the Encyclopaedia Brit
tannica and leading textbooks used in the
school of medicine. This statement it
further pros en by the fact that millions of
persons who have actually taken Tanlac
have testified to its extraerdinary merit as
a medicine, and by the fact that Tanlac
is today having the greatest sale of any
tonic on the market. ovtr eleven mill on
bottles having been sold within the past
few years
Tanlac is also the ideal strengthening
tonic for persons who are suffering from the
after-effects of influenza. grippe or bron
chial troubles and hundreds of thousands
are using it daily with the most gratifying
results.
In connection ai'h the Tan!ac treat-
nient it is necessary to keep the bowels
open by taking Tanlac Laxative Tablets.

bert, having been received enthusias-
tically by the inhabitants of his ,re-

GERMANS STILL CRUEL
Prisoners Are Treated in a Bar-
barous Manner.
Men N'ree 'busted Out of Internment
lamp to Walk Bach Weir, and
Many of Thew Died on the Kay
From Exposure and Start ation-
British Soldiers Suffered Most:
LONDON, Nov. 26. - There are
several. hundreds of thosaada of
men In Germany whose plight, wkieb
before the signing of the arasiilke
was bad, has since become dMprste,
writes Reuter's correspondent at the
French headquarters. He says thaae'
are prisoners of war -- 'British,
French and Roumanian -- wbo are
sow being released from German
prison camps. These men have been
11ving and worktog for months on a
diet of three or four hundred
grammes of Infamously bad bread a
day, supplemented by a soup, issued
at mid-day, made of water in which
cabbage or barley has been boiled.
Continuing, the correspondent
writes:61'1 talked to 30 of the pris-
oners yeeterday-all British soldiery,
captured in March or April - and
they told me that they had never
had any clothing from the Germane.
They started on their long march in
boot. with the soles dropping off or
else In wooden clogs. None had
socks. Their feet were bound up
with cotton rags. Some had over -
routs, some had none. Many of
them had sold their overcoats and
British boots and even their shirts,
to their guards for potatoes and ex-
tra bread. Apparently they started
from the prison camps in droves of •
several hundred in charge of officers
and a couple of soldiers, who were i
to give then) directions. Invariably
three guides deserted them after a
few hours, alleging as an excuse
that they had lost their way and
:trust go back l0 enquire about it.
There bas been a hard front every
.night. These' men were all physical-
ly reduced by hunger. Before they
started they had no food, and were
tramping through a country in which
they could not enquire their way be-
cause they couldn't speak either
French or German and in' which the
people have literally nothtsg to g.ve
to anyone after their own lire Seeds
base been satisfied. • They had no
utt'ney--their wage of nln't cente a
d:ey was paid to them in the form of
little squares of cardboard, which
were only accepted as money at the
prison camp canteens.
What happened to them, as I gath-
eretf"from their story, was this:
"They. tramped westward atter
their guides had left them until
nigRtfeIl. Most of them slept two or
three home in gelds• and awoke stir
and cold and. realizing that 1t mfg..*.t
mean death to fall asleep again, got
up and eonttnned their journey. In
the morning there was thick ice on
the pools. They walked all next duy
and next night, with occasional rests
in the open, but without food or
sleep. On the second morning after
another ie3.- slob March. they met
French soldiers and were given food
and put Into motor lorries and tak'•n
to the nearest town. whey are In su.'t
a state that the French of lt•ers, wt.o
are well used to sights of war, were
horrified to see men in such a state.
Some of them certainly died by 'the
roadside of cold and exhauetlon only
a few miles from their friends.
How many died there is no means of
knowing. Some men 1 talked with
told me positively that in their party
five Aad died, others told me of two
deaths or three among their parties.
The big droves, by natural process,
split up into little groups which
clung together tot company as long
as possible.
• 1t would be d)mcult to overstate
the misery of these poor men;
whose fault was that they were
British soldiers. 1 have as yet met
only one Roumanian, and heard .of
a few Italians who have been treat"d
in this way, but there is no doubt
that it has happened to thousands of
British soldiers.
"All prisoners 1 hate spoken to
since the armistice was concluded, of
whatever nationality, agree upon one
thing - that is, that while all are
starved the British are the hungrier
and far worse treated than others.
"'Swine,"'Dog,' seem to be the
current manner of address where
Britlahers are concerned in Ger-
man prison camps. Kicks and
blows with the butt end of a rifle
were their daily portion. Now is the
moment to go into the appalling
stories our men tell of comrades
dropping on their way to work from
hunger, dysentery, and heing beaten
with rides until they got up and went
on and died over their work. Of men
who were refused admission to hos-
pitals being carried out dead from
huts, while the German sentinels
stood by laughing. Of men with
acute dysentery crawling out at
night for relief and dying on the
ground under the eyes of Indifferent
sentries."
