Shredded Wheat remains the

[passing,, as he was more the creature

i the potter, than the initiator or in
stigator of this great misery.
The Sarajevo tragedy, when the
Crown Prince lost his life, and one
among many in his long reign, was
the excuse ostensibly for the war, but
it wae not the cause of it, for
that had
been long brewing. The double assas-
sination of his nephew and his con-
sort, was unquestionably political, but
without this the outbreak could not
have been suppressed much longer.
In fact the emperor was not much
in love with the prince. The heir
presumptive was thoroughly "Prus-
sianized," which was the true reason
of his tragic end.
But with the emperor, it was mere-
ly a choice of Germany or having his
empire pass from him, The Slav peril,
so-called; was not created by him, yet
he did little to arrest the slow-moving
iceberg of Russian dominion, and
hence his empire was unstable at
best. Unfortunately it was made up
of elements that were never destined
to properly fuse.
It is inconceivable that his death
will have any material effect upon the
great struggle,. for new elements are
sure to arise and surround the throne,1

I Tommies recently adopted a clever
ruse which made Fritz look foolish.
' It is a characteristic incident of Brit-
ish methods on the western front, says
the London News.
Our men learned that it was the in-
tention of the Huns to place more bar-
bed wire in front of their lines that
night. So about 15 left the British
trench and formed links of a human
chain reaching to the German lines,
which were only about a hundred
i yards away. The enemy, who na-
• turally wished to carry out their
!plans unobserved, were sending up no
star lights, so that the Tommies, with
a •subaltern in charge. of them, were
able to crawl into position quite un -
nodded.
I They had scarcely completed the
formation of their chain before the
Germans began to throw out of their
trench on to the ground in front the
t various tools and materials they would,
Irequire. First of all a number of'
iron stakes were pitched out. The f
first man in the British chain grabbed
them, passed them back to the man
behind him, who in turn' handed them
on until they were safely landed in f
the British trenches. , Everything put`
' out by the unsuspecting Huns was dis-
posed of in the same way. When,the
leading man. in .the chain concluded:
there was nothing more to come he
stealthily crept back with his .com-
rades.
By the time they had reached their
trench the German working party was.
in the open and the men were busily
employed searching for the missing
wire and tools, Suddenly a rocket
hissed up from the British lines, and,
revealed by its pitiless Iight, the en-

Owing to the scarcity of eggs in j
France, the available supply is being'
entirely reserved for the wounded.
But however limited the supply across
the Channel, more ha nel, eggs are.mar plentiful
there than in England, and the Weekly
Dispatch suggests that if the British
military authorities were to issue a
notice • that eggs in England should
also be reserved for the wounded, the
public would respond as readily as the
French civilian population.

ency of Ministers, food prices are ever
on the upward grade, and the best but-
ter is now 2s. 2d. a pound. Not
unnaturally, people are inclined to
think that .the soaring food prices
are not altogether to be explained by
the normal influence of war. Faulty
organization of supplies and undue
indulgence by people to whom price
is no object are, in the general belief,
important contributory causes. Mr.

Lone an a coral island,
In an opal sea,
Lingered a sea nymph lovely
Making melody.
Her voice was as the moonlight,
With all wild moon lure,
Her brow more white than storm
spray,
And her breasts more pure.
Smoother than snowy marble
Her white shoulders were,
And passioned as purple dusk
Her lips and her hair.
Oft have earth men seen sea nymphs,
Oft; but neer before
Loved as I loved and followed
To the green sea floor.
