Since the war no is entitled to a more lasting fame. While ho was writing his apparently incredible stories of adventure he was studying the German /met service, and it is on record that sev- eral times ho tried to warn the Brit- ish Government of Germany's real Intentions. Mr. Le Queux has been able to demonstrate that he was alive to the situation, and that be was in a position to get first-hand information that no member of the British secret service had been able to secure. Mr. Le Queux is in pos- session of a copy of the correspon- dence carried on between Berlin and Rasputin, the Russian, monk, who served es the Kaiser's tool in the court at- Petrograd. The novelist has discovered evidence in the corres- pondence of a dastardly plot against King Ferdinand of Roumania and his country. The aim of the plot was to put Roumania in a position where it would be possible to crush the coun- try and dethrone the monarch, t]p to the summer of 1916 Roumania had played the game rather cleverly. She had succeeded in keeping Ger- .many in doubt as to her ultimate in- tentions, while she prepared for the confliflct. These were direful days for Germany in the East.

AMUUIC4N OPINION The "'Wall Street Journal" pub- lishes a loading editorial on what is 'described as a "flare-up in Western Canada over the agitation for govern- ment ownership of all the railways, including the Canadian Pacific." "Not all of the co operative social• ists, advocates of state socialism and proponents of what is called com- munality, from all the farmers, mer- cantile and lumber associations com- bined, could transfer the Canadian Pacific Railroad to the Government, even were the Government itself will- ing," the editorial insists. "They could eat it tip, but they could not held it a single instant, as it is known to -day and at its value to them to -day, after they got it. ' . . . Canadians need not go one step beyond their own border to decide whether a gov- ernment-owned ooernment-owned road can maintain its most valuable asset. It is just be• cause it cannot be done that part of the prairie press has for sonic months past wished to make up the deficits of the government-owned roads by ex propriating the Canadian Pacific's current profits. The idea is a chimera. There would he no profits to divide up. % c of corn. "Less• llthe than s pang's stock is owned by Canadians; less than one-seventh of the share- holders are Canadians.

Lechitsky had scored a great triumph. The German people were hungry for a victory or for news of a victory. Though Brussiloff was dangerous, the plotters at Berlin knew they could rely upon Sturmer, the Rus- sian Prime Minister, and Soukhom- linoff, Minister of War. Brussiloff could not go much further without supplies. To Roumania everything looked favorable. All about her the Rus- sians seemed victorious. She may have felt that if she did not throw In her lot with the Allies immed- iately her assistance might be coldly received when proffered, Her mili- tary experts said that she was not ready for war; her political directors believed that it was "now or never." The Russian suggestion came to Roumania really as an ultimatum. She must either declare war against Germany or declare herself an ally of Germany. Roumania did not hesitate, and assured that Bulgaria would not attack her, she proceeded to attack Austria-Hungary. At the outset she swept all before her. Then there came a pause, and thou a re- treat before Mackensen even swifter than, her advance. The Russian ad- vance was similarly halted; lauseian armies that were supposed to sup- port Roumania wore held up by lack of transport and munitions. Dis- aster overwhelmed Roumania, German strategy with regard to Roumania appears to have been dic- tated by two motives. The first and obvious one was the possession by Germany of the great grain and oil supplies of her little enemy. These were sadly needed and speedily ac- quired, Then Germany, through all her creatures about the Czar, wished to use the Roumanian disaster to im- press upon him. the necessity of a separate peace, or perhaps to produce throughout Russia a sentiment in favor of ending the war. The first part of the programme was carried out; the second part failed. The Czar did not sue for a separate peace. The correspondence in the hands of Mr. Le Queux does hot re- present the Czar as a traitor to Russia, If he were, there was no need for Rasputin's operations. The Czar merely appears as a weak- minded ruler misled by his wife and by nearly everyone else in whom he trusted, A.
