Lothar' Persius, - German Naval Attache at Washington for a number of years long before the war, and. subsequently Germany's leading naval critic,- 'devotes a good deal Of space •in his "Personal Reminla scences" to acrid ridicule of the. on ,‘ sacred person of the Kaiser, and t advocacy of the proposition that Ge man officers guilty lot atrociti should be punished: Perhaps nothin written by a prominentiGerman sine the war ended so amazingly illu trates the apparent change in th point of view of at least some Ge mans; says the Berlin corresponden of the New York thin. Of the Kaise Capt. Persius says: "There are no great men in th eyes of their ealets. William 1 never was a great man in the ey of anybody, although he was ever as suming a heroic pose, whether th occasion was solemn or ridiculous But William II. in the eyes of h valets and attendants was not onl not great, he was even contemptibl small, mean and cowardly, enjoyin the humiliation, degradation an pain he indicted upon those in h power. _ . "With my own eyes I have see him dash the contents of a half filled champagne glass into the fac of an admiral who happened to b 'standing near him on the bridge o a vessel. I saw him scrape the c,avia • oft WS sandwich andalling the mes into the eyes of some officer of ran unfortunately within reach of the im perial 'joker.' Of course, all thes 'pranks' were perpetrated when his • Majesty was in a state of intoxica tion, which at times happened t occur early in the morning." "A cruiser was at target practice William II. was on board, the sun smiling, the weather calm and beau tiful. William II. happened to be in the 'best' of humor. With his strong right hand he was .dealing blows right and left, as- he 'was wcint to do on occasions like this. His favorites considered themselves fortunate when . they received an imperial punch." "On the bridge his body surgeon was standing, leaning backward • against the railing. The old man, a general in' rank, seemed to be tired from standing. He was leaning heav- ily upon the railing, bending back- ward and dreamily looked into the sky. "Suddenly William II. sprang in front of the old man and in a most cruel and indecent manner (by hit- ting the old . man a violent blow in a tender spot) inflicted terrible pain. In doing this the Emperor said some- thing vulgar which I, standing sev- eral paces away from him, could not fully understand. • The poor old general staggered. One could tell by the expression ot his face that he was half mad from pain. He held on to the railing with his hands, and half fainting sank up- on his knees. v . • "The Emperor, proud of his splen- did 'joke,' laughed vehemently. But when he saw the result his 'prac- tical joke had he merely turned away, without a word of apology. The old surgeon was no longer. persona grata. He had winced while receiv- ing an, imperial favor! "The bridge of the vessel was crowded with officers of high rank and other dignitaries. While the Emperor was talking to some one his adjutant, an admiral, happened to turn his back. Immediately the imperial right fist shot out and hit the admiral in the small of the back -a powerful blow. "The admiral was• stunned and reeled while the Kaiser made a sneering, filthy remark which can- not be repeated in print. All the offi- cers, diplomats, , bluejackets ad at- tendants heard the Kaiser's remarks, for he shouted, and all the men of course were grinning while the ad- miral was doubled up with pain. "It was a nauseating spectacle to me.' Slowly and gradually many things have becorhe known of late - things that throw a sinister light upon dark passages. The Emperor blames the generals, ,claiming they acted contrary to his drders; the son accuses Ludendorff and Tirpitz; Tir- pitz accuses Bethraann-Hollweg and the latter accuses the former in turn. "For instance, if Wilhelm is right the execution of Miss Cavell was ordered by a general who happened to be, drunk. Well, why ha this general not been tried? Whee are state tribunals? If it does n t try this general or if it merely white- washes him, we ought to thank our enemies for cleaning up, even only in part, the Augean stable we our- selves failed to clean." oe 0 r- es 5- e r- e 1. es Is 7 7 g iss n e r k e 0 In Old japan. Inscriptions on a workman's cap or back, stating the occupation and name of employer, are said to be customary in many part of Japan. The Japanese are very much alike physically. Recent measurements taken of an infantry regiment show- ed no variation, except a couple of inches in height, or twenty pounds • iu weight. The Japanese are expert garden- ers. They give such individual atten- tion to each blossom that wonderful results are obtained. Native garden- • ers have been known to help the buds of delicate and choice flowers to open by gently fanning them. Seven pounds a year is said to be sufficient to enable a man to live in Japan -that is, pay for board and lodging -and many have been known to manage on three pounds a year. ' A Japanese auction is a most sol- emn affair. The purchasers do not call out their bids or nod, but they write their names, together with the amounts they are willing to pay, on slips of paper. Then the slips, hav- ing been placed in a box, are looked through, and the articles awarded to the persons -who had made the high- est offer. The Japanese festivals number five each year. They are easily remem- bered: lst of first month, New Tear; 3rd ot third month, Feast of Dolls for girls; 5th of fifth month, the Dajf for the God and Goddess of Lore; Sth of ninth month, Feast Of ChrifiT anlbelmum, New Treatment that Knocks Rheumatism 75e BOX FREE TO ANY SUFFERER Up in Syracuse N. Y., treatment for rheumatism has been found that hundreds of users say is a wonder, yeporting eases That seem little short of miraculous. Just a few treatments even in the very worst cases seem to aocomplish wonders even after other rem- edies have failed entirely. It seems to neutralize the uric acid and lime salt deposits in the blood, driving all the poisonous clog- ging waste from the system. Soreness, pain, stiffness, swelling just seem to melt away and vanish. The treatment first introduced by Mr. Delano is so good that its owner Wants everybody who suffers from rheumatism or who has a friend s� afflicted, to get a free 7e package from him to prove just what it will do in every case before a penny is spent Mr. Delano says:.

FADS AND FASHIONS • Women in England stated the fad for wearing monocles, and once a while you see some one here affect- ing the new fashion. It might sug- gest that other one-sided fad of wear- ing only one earring, were it tot for the fact that the reason 'given for wearing the monocle is that it is to relieve some defect th one eye. When only one eye is „out of kilter why wear glasses on[ both eyes? That is the argument; still there is small chance of the monocle corning into great popularity because of the difficulty of keeping it adjusted. Bright royal purple seems to have come into sudden favor at the ,winter resorts, though it is not one of the colors that has been predicted for high favor in the spring, It is not, for gowns that one sees this purple, but rather for sport clothes. Purple hats for sport are especially affected by the smart visi- tors of the Southern resorts. The off -the -face ' hat is gradually winning its way in this country. Paris took to it eagerly enough, but Amer- icans took their time. One thing that will make it popular for spring is wheat the milliners call the cuff -a sort of vizor -like extension that is at- tached to the crown like a --piece of a second 'brim. eirhis is only a few inches wide, aed generally is found on- ly in front, tapering off. at the sides. It is sometimes arranged to come well down over the eyes, affording shade and protection to the eyes as well as leaking the hat more becoming to most faces. Small rings sewed ono blouses and frocks as ornaments are much in vogue. They are used instead of bead, trim- ming and sometimes in connection with strands of beads, the steel rings being very effective with steels beads in ;strands. Bows are very good as triimning. Sometimes a taffeta evening frock will be trimmed with bows of the taff- eta. , Bows of tulle or chiffon are some times used, and bows of inch -wide pi- coted ribbon used at regular as a trim- ming device are trim and smart. Woolen yarn is sometimes used in Catarrh of the Stomach is D angerous "Thousands Have It and Don't Know It," Says Physician., Frequently Mistaken for Indigestion -How to Recognize and Treat, "Thousands of people suffer more or less constantly from furred, coated tongue, bad breath, sour burning stomach, frequent vomiting, rumbling in stomach, bitter eruictations, gas, wind and stomach acidity and call it indigestion when in reality their trou- ble is due to gastric catarrh of the stomach," writes a New York physi- cia- Cnatarrh of the stomach is danger- ous because the mucous membrane lining of the stomach is thickened and a coating of phlegm covers the sur- face so that the digestive fluids can- not mix with the food and digest them. This condition soon breeds deadly disease in the fermented, mi - .assimilated food. The blood is pol- luted and carries the infection throughout the body. Gastric ulcers are apt to form and frequently an ulcer is the first sign of a deadly cancer. In catarrh of the stomach a good and safe treatment is to take before meals a teaspoonful of pure Bisurated Magnesia in half a glass of hot water as hot as you can comfortably drink it. The hot water, washes the mucous from the stomach walls and draws the blood to the stomach while the bisurated magensia is an excel- lent solvent for mucus and increases the efficiency of the hot water treat- ment. Moreover the Bisurated Mag- nesia will serve as a powerful but harmless antacid which will neutra- lize any excess hydrochloric acid that may be in your stomach and sweeten its food contents. Easy, natural di- gestion without distress of' any kind should soon follow. Bisurated Mag- nesia is not a laxative, is harmless, pleasant and easy to take and can -be obtained from 1* any local druggist.

MILLIONS OF SALVES IN SOUTH AFRICA. A serious race problem is arising in South Africa, as a result of the relations between the whites eand the natives. Most unusual restrictions are imposed on the natives. So severe are they in fact that William Charles Scully, -writing in the Edin- burgh Review, characterizes the con- ditions under which tehy live as slav- ery. He offers a severe indictment of the white races, both . Boer and British, for the treatment they are according the blacks. He writes in part: In South Africa We are confronted bya very ominous situation. Within the Union limits there is a population of over six million souls, only; a mil- lion and a quarter of whom are European, and throughout the greater area comprised by the four provinces -Cape, Transvaal, Free State and Natal -such a stringent and illiberal color line is drawn, and not alone have the non-European inhabitants no voice in the management of the country, but their social and economic condi- tions are such as to .practically debar them from advancement. Moreover they are subjected' to vexatious dis- criminating laws, and are the victims of a deep and growing race prejudice on the part of the Europeans. Many people are under the delusion that the English South African, as a rule, is the natives' protector, while the Dutchman is habitually the nat- ives' oppressor. Unfortunately this is by no means the case. Neither race is prepared to treat the native 'or the colored man with liberality. The law regarding natives and col- ored people is different in the four respective provinces of the Union. In only one particular is it uniform --in the Parliament of the Union no native or colored man may take a seat. In the Cape Province,- white, black and colored have an equal right to , the franchise, but in various Acts of Par - liarnent, discrimination between the races is distinctly made. One import- ant measure -the Natives' Land Act of 1913 -which forbade, under string- ent penalties, the hiring of land to natives practically throughout the Cape Province, has been declared ultra vires on the ground that it conflicted with the Act of Union, but there is little doubt that before long the latter Act will be amended to suit the sit- uation. Of late years laws of increas- ing stringency on the subject of squat- ting have been enacted. A special law relating to Cape Town and Port Elizabeth has been -passed, which pro- vides that no native who is not a ?ti registered voter can sleep in ei ier of these cities except a domestic s rv- vent on his master's premises. °ca- tions with sheet -iron huts have been established in the environs, but these are disgracefully overcrowded - as many as sixteen people sometimes sleeping in one small room: It is in fact impossible for all the natives em- ployed at the docks, or in handling merchandises or at other unskilled abor, to be accommodated in the lo- cations referred to. Nevertheless na- ives are continually arrested for breaking a law which it is a physical mpossibility for them to obey. Yet he very existence of the communities nvolved depends upon the labor of hese natives. If the latter were to e eliminated, all business would stop s inevitably as would a watch with broken spring. The conditions- under which the na- ives live in the. -locations established n the environs of the towns of the ape Province -and, in fact, of South frica generally -are most pitiful. here is no fixity of tenure, 'and the lots allotted are preposterously mall. The inhabitants are heavily axed, but the taxes are not spent for heir benefit. Utter squalor and dis- omfort usually reign. At places uch as Port ElizabethGrahamstown nd Somerset East, while the Euro - an death -rate is about fourteen per ,000, that of the natives is in the eiglalsorhood of seventy. There is no ossibility of social or intellectual dvancement. Municipal officers ad- inister the local by-laws fitfully, ften reviving some long dormant egulation, of the existence of which he natives were- unaware. During n outbreak of typhus fever in ueenstown, Cape Vrovince, in 1917, ck people were pulled out of bed, nd their bedding, after being soak - d in disinfecting liquid, was thrown ack at thein, wet. Cattle comprise the I only form of ealth the native jvalues. Whenc, af- r long zind faithful service on a rm, a native employee has acquired small herd, he is apt to be dismiss_: because his master grudges _lijm asturage. It is not uncommon; pecially in one of the often -recurring oughts, to see natives wandering a - ng the roads with their dwindling rds of emaciated kine, vainly seek - g a refuge, In the 'end the few an - ba a 1 A p s t c s a 1 11 a m r t a si a e b w te fa a p e41 e$ dr lo in Incorporated in 1855 CAPITAL AND RESERVE $9,000,600 Over 120 Branches The .Molsons Bank The saving habit like all other good habits is the result of resolution and practice.

In the mines and cities the native, cut off from family life and from the salutary influence exercised by con- tact with his clan, loses his ethical basis. In a large number of cases ' he takes to drink, and forms casual connections with women of his class. : And yet, wonderful to relate, he re - 1 mains law-abiding and responsive to ' sympathetic treatment. One Orange peculiarity of the native is his power and moral resilience. A European who has once made a bad false step seldom or never fully recovers hi self-respect. No doubt society is largely responsible for this. But with , the native it is quite different; under sympathetic treatment a habitual criminal will become quite trust- worthy: One of the most estimable natives 1 know was a few years ago a member of a gang of murderous robbers which terrorized Johannes- burg. Yet this man I would now im- plicitly trust in any capacity. Natal .was granted a liberal consti- tution in 1856, but in 1865 a law was enacted which practically disfranchis- ed the native. In the Free State both natives and" colored pee le are dis- franchised,incon- venient and degrading : disabilities. and are subji t to They have-th carry passe4-when mov- ing from place to place; and are not permitted even to hire -grazing from European farmers. Some of the mun- icipal regulations in force are grotes- quely oppressive. For' instance; no girl of ,the age of sixteen is permit- ted to Hire, even, with her parents, in a location unless she be' in uropean service. In the Free State there is a law in force common to all municipal areas -under which all females over the age of sixteen have to take out passes, for which a substantial charge is made. The police are in the habit of making domiciliary visits, and bit- ter complaints are made regarding their treatment of girls approaching the taxable ate. The municipal loca- tions are unspeakably wretched places as a rule. The miserable huts are built upon small plots, and are thn% huddled grievously together; Yetiin. many of these locations any native found outside the door of his hut after nine o'clock p.m, is of, liable to arrest, fine and imprisonment. The foregoing points to a thinly - disguised system of slavery -slavery in which there are many masters in- stead of one, and in which there is no individual ' responsibility for the welfare of the slave, or for his main- teNtnce when decrepit.
