He made out a credit slip for £119,000, and, passing it across the counter With a roll of notes and cheques, ask- ed for his shares. They sent' for the manager. Trent was ushered with much ceremony into his private room. The manager was flushed and nervous. "I am afraid you must have mis- understood my note, Mr. Trent," he stammered.' But Trent, remembering all that he had gone through to raise the money, stopped him short. "This is not a friendly call, Mr. Sinclair," he said, "but simply a mat- ter of business.

Neufeld was'res- cuecl from prison by Lord Kitchener and the British troops at Omdurman in September, 1898. For ten years he had: lain in a Mandist jail, subjected to horrible tortures, according to his own account. In his book describing his adventures, Neufeld tells how; on being thrown into prison, three sets of iron shackles were attached to his feet and rings and chains fastened about bis neck. He was often and on one occasion he received 500 lashes.

ONE YEAR : MORE MEANS VICTORY BLOCKADE BY THE BRITISH NARY EFFECTIVE. Germany Will Be Beaten on Sea in 1917, Says a Neutral Obeerver. A Scandinavian writer,, interviewed by the Milan journal "Secolo," says he is convinced that for the next 12 months Germany will be able to cope with' her difficulties, external as well as internal: A peace concluded before. the end of 1916 would be bound to be advantageous to her. But if the Bri- tish and their, allies can continue the war for another year the Germans will not ;entertain any hope of vic- tory. The greatest . blows at Germany have been struck by the British -the loss of her colonies, the loss of her commerce. The British blockade is much more effective thap the Germans would like the outside world to be- lieve. "This war," says the Scandinavian, "will either be won definitely in 1916 by the Germans on land, or in 1917 by the British on the sea." - It would be untrue to state, he went. on, that public opinion in Germany is depressed. The contention of every- body is that the war has been carried on victoriously hitherto, as is proved by the positions of the German armies on enemy territory, but there is every- where a vague sense of disquietude. Much Fault -Finding. The consequence is an attitude of criticism, ill -humor and fault-finding. Some Mind fault with the Chancellor; others with the Socialists, some with the farmers, others again with the speculators. The :long halt on the west is condemned, likewise the arrest of the offensive its Russia; there are many who denounce as midsummer madness the high fafutin' about the' Asiatic undertaking. Some are for annexations on all sides, others con aider it imprudent to think of perma- nently annexing a single inch any- where, but these would insist on "ret - Som." The enemy is beaten, but not domi- nated, say the Germans. Though one ally may speak evil of another (the Germans are always discovering dis- sensions among the allies), and the British speak evil of themselves, all seem to agree on one thing: they will go on until they win. Notwithstand- ing the Pact of London, the Germans place their chief hope in a separate peace with one or other of the enemy powers. The Chancellor spoke the mind of the nation when he described treaties as scraps of apper. Problem of Men. The casualty lists published by the military authorities are always three or foto: months late; they do not con- tain the names of the slightly wound- ed, and are suspected of being other- wise incorrect. Hindenburg fought his last battles in Russia with the Landwehr; Mackensen spared his rnen in Serbia, utilizing artillery almost exclusively. Germany began the war with eight million men; by December 1, 1916, ac- cording to the most moderate calcula- tion of her daily and monthly losses, she will have no more than 3,000,000, including the youths of the 1910 and 1917 classes, of.whoin, at least, one million will be required in the auxil- iary services. -Germany does not lack arms and ammunition, it is true; but the people are well aware of the feverish, organ- ized activity that prevails in the allied countries and in America. A German officer told the writer quoted that the German army owed almost all its successes to its heavy artillery. Now this advantage has been lost, for the French showed tear- ing their attack in Chturipague that to -day they possess an excellent arma- ment of heavy artillery. In short, the tary critics says that victory can only problem of men is disquieting, while be secured by putting forth all our . NO ALUM 8' ae PtAINL. N'li' PRiN'tED ON THY p -5muWrnnsT,LIGI " MANY GERMAN OFFICERS SUICIDE THEY HAVE GREAT FEAR OF THE FUTURE. Russia's Growing Power Causes lin- easiness in the German Ranks. Roumanians and Greeks who have lately left Germany report marked disappointment on all sides at the pro- longation of the war, and especially the renewal of Russia's fighting strength, says a Petrograd correspon- dent. A Greek officer says that suicides among wounded and convalescents 00. cur painfully often. In the boarding- house where he stayed for some time in Berlin were eleven German officers recovering from sickness of wounds. Three of them killed themselves. It is common talk in Germany that a hundred thousand were killed in the fruitless autumn campaign in Russia; the number of wounded and captured' is, of course, far larger. These losses night be borne with resignation if they gave decisive re. sults, but, as Maximilian Harden has admitted in the 7unkunft, Russia will be stronger in the spring than at any time before, and the foolish dream of a separate peace has faded utterly away. Furthermore, the difficulty and dear- ness of living depresses the poorer classes, and ntakes them eager to re- turn to the former comfortable condi- tions of existence. The Plight of Hungary. This last cause of discontent is even worse in Hungary, according to a Ruse sian lady who has just arrived after spending seventeen months at Sieben- bergen, Transylvania. In this district, she says, the scare- ity of food is pitiable. Wheat and flour are impossible to buy, and even last winter there were no cattle, and therefore no meat. All food stores which are transport- able were sent to Germany at the be- ginning of the war. People say that if the war lasts much longer the Ger- mans will "literally" have eaten thein. There is general grumbling about the feeding of the Austro-Hungarian soldiers, who have frequently no meat or soup, and only potatoes. The Hun- garians ungarians openly say that peace must be made. These pictures are drawn, it must be remembered, mostly by those who wish to believe them true.' There is no doubt that these reports rest on a basis of truth, but it would be foolish and wicked to allow ourselves to sup- pose that the enemy is yet near ex- hadetion. Kaiser's Hypnotism. So 'long as the Germans believe the lies told by their rulers and imagine that we are bent on destroying them as a nation, so long will they light desperately.
