adversary of unparallelled stub-

this adversary deserves, from a
military standpoint, the highest
respect. We have the best army

credit for this with justified
pride, but we do not wish •on

It will be interesting to record some
of the remarks of the Kaiser—the
man who asserted with amusing con-
viction that God was on the slide of
the Germans. Here are some of his
sayings:
.... the spirit of faithfulness
unto death which the German•
nation with its army and its
fleet in its present war of de-
fence. against a world full of
hate, envy and covetousness, has
already displayed in so many!
ways, and, please God, not in
vain.
Heaven is on our side. With
God's help, we shall win a long
peace for ourselves. For our
nerves • are stronger than those
of our enemies.
May the heavy sacrifice'
which this fight for existence,
which has been forced upon us,
imposes on us be borne with the
confident hope that God the
Lord will turn even the sorest
wounds into blessings for the
nation and fatherland.
How visibly has the Lord
stood by our heroic troops!,
destroyed. The, British navy may
no longer feel that they are far
away from the shooting, and the
inhabitants of the coast' towns
wilt be able to tell what language
German cannons speak.
We must proceed to a system- �
atic and merciless war of de-
struction against English com-
merce. The effective tool for this
purpose present itself in our U-
boat's. There we have a weapon
in our hands which, though, de-
veloped very late and cautiously
with us, has already surprising:

It doesnot need to be stirred
Now some extracts from this book
about the German navy:
Our ships carried 'a powerful
breath of the German spirit into
'distant lands. He who was ever
a witness of snob visits abroad
will be able to appreciate fully
what precisely its value was and
what was the latter reason for
the joy the German nation had
in its fleet.
Our fleet does not only send
submarines in advance, but also
appears with its, large fighting
ships when it seems to be the
right moment, and when it
knows how to make itself intel-
ligible to the English. The com-
fortable life of the money -earn -
And now some extracts about
,'Russia:
Where in the whole world may
Russia be popular? Perhaps al-
ong those Southern Slays whom
she trials to misuse Lan her own
selfish ends. But that that des-
potic Muscovitisen,which brings•
the knout and slavery and cor-
ruptlion everywhere it sets rlts
foot is papular in civilized .states
is a new discovery—.of invention.
The celebrations which were
held in aur schools on account
of jthq gs eat• victory , over the
Russians began mostly about 9
o'clock, and lasted about thirty
minutes. "Deutschland uber
alles” was sung with vigorous
enthusiasm. The flag decorations
in the streets had a gay effect
in the sunshine; omnibuses were
decorated with Prussian and
Giernian flags. 'Toward ssinscit
on Thursday the sun managed to
break through the clouds and a
golden glow rimmed the horizon.
Hope and confidence interpreted
the brightness in the west as a
promise based upon the joyful
news from the east: "We have
conquered and will conquer,"
How Time laughs at us human
beings.
