KAISER IS ISOLATED. es German Paper Sarcastically Outlines the Situation. One of the most amusing and sugges- tive comments in the German press on the present nlleged rivalry between Great Britain and Germany is the following passage token from the Rhenish West phalinn Gazette, a leading German jour- nal of aggressively patriotic views: "'Two players are sitting opposile to one another engaged in a stubborn con- test c n the European chessboard. One of them (Edw'nrd VII.) is n cool, enlcu- luling. and quiet player, while the other (William 11.) is young. full of vivacity. the reverse of calculating, rich in ideas and fantastic imaginulion. `There is no 'ringer any doubt which of these players will gain the victory, si long ILS the e ,blest is confined to the diplomatic chessboard. William 11. Is already checkmated. "None of all Ilvise prinees and kings whim he visited in the earlier years of h:s reign, and whose friendship he gained has remained true to hire, ex. cept the aged Emperor Francis Joseph find the proprietor of the greatest gam- bling hell in itle world (The reigning prince of Monaco).

The man who asks this question In arty verbal form whatsoever means certain definite things by it. Ignoring theological definitions of salvation, he seeks to find freedom (1'0111 certain habits; he would wile out a torment- ing, haunting past; he would prepare fee n better future.

So if you answer his deep questioning with n demand that he ac- cept certain doctrines, that lie force himself to faith in certain facts about teen the greatest of the sons of men, p.m' remedy seems unrelated to hies disease; he turns away empty and un- hclped.

In other words, believe that He is right end set yourself with Him. Here was n lite that never believed In the possibilities of better ,things. Jesus had faith in the possibility • t goodness; He believed In virtue, honor, truth. He may not have eeen much of these things in others: bill ile believed there could be more, and He looked on the virtues as things not unattainable fee ilirnself, A man indeed Is lost when he has ceased to believe in the posse Filly of goodness for Himself or in his Idlows, NOR WAS THIS Ai.t.; here was a life in the beauty of her - ninny and helpfulness with all other men.

Ile served in the Bailie end Black Sea during the Crimean War. and in command of a seuadron watched British interests throughout the Carlist War in 1871. He wns the comnnander-in-ctlief of the Pu- blic .squadron from 1896 to 1899. It was during his command In the Pacific that Admiral Palliser came tit- le possession of what he thought. to be the secret of the buried treasures of the famous Cocos island, and on board her Majesty's ship Imperieuse rade the first o" a long series of ineffectual efforts to unearth lite buried millions. The late adrniral received the "secret" from Capt. Hackett when the latter wns on his death -bed, and was so impressed by it Hint despite all failures, he remained n firbeliever in the existence of the Treasurem. The story of the Oleos Island tree- seres is one of the most romantic and thrilling character.
